Chapter 172 Tang Xuemei's conspiracy, internal and external cooperation
Under the thick snow, there were actually frozen walnuts everywhere.
If it were somewhere else, all the walnuts on this tree would be rotten.
But the wild walnuts in this valley mature late, and during this snowy season, they are all frozen, forming a natural refrigerator.
“There are so many!”
Shen Cuiyu's face was filled with joy. Without saying a word, she dug the walnuts out of the snow pile and stuffed them into the sack.
"Xiao Meng, let's pretend too."
Bai Wei didn't waste any time and took Xiao Meng with her to pack walnuts.
There were far more walnuts in the valley than Bai Wei had imagined. She took Shen Cuiyu and Xiao Meng with her, and the three of them went back and forth for two days before they finally moved all the walnuts away.
Originally, Bai Wei was afraid that these frozen walnuts would go bad.
Who would have known that when she put the walnuts in fertile soil in the yard and dug them out on the third day, the outer layer had all fallen off, but the walnuts were still crisp and even had a sweet smell.
"I'm rich! I'm rich! How much money can I get from all these old walnuts?"
Shen Cuiyu stood in the yard, happily helping Bai Wei peel walnuts.
During these three days, she followed Bai Wei to move walnuts for two days and peeled the walnuts with Bai Wei for one day. She worked from day to night and had no free time at all.
But she was still very aggressive.
"How much money do you want to change? Aren't all of them yours?"
Bai looked at Shen Cuiyu with a smile. During these three days, it was because of her words that Shen Cuiyu's eyes were shining, and she even forgot all Tang Xuemei's instructions.
Who cares? When it comes to making money, you can never go wrong!
We have to earn this money first, right?
"That's right."
Shen Cuiyu chuckled and never stopped working.
There were several high piles of walnuts in this yard.
Bai Wei looked at Shen Cuiyu. Although her mother-in-law was mean and cunning, she was really efficient at work. She had to admit that.
"Tomorrow we will take these walnuts to the county town to sell them."
Bai Wei made the decision, and she and Xiao Meng took the sacks and filled them with walnuts from the yard.
She borrowed the sack after searching all over the family compound, except for the He family of course.
Now whenever Wang Cuihua saw Bai Wei, she would get angry and even wanted to walk around her and turn her back to her. She had no idea how many times she had poked her in the spine.
Especially in her eyes, she couldn't stand Xiao Meng.
During the time that Xiao Meng followed Bai Wei, she became noticeably fatter, especially after the wild rabbit that Pudding caught. Bai Wei made a full set of hat, gloves and rabbit fur boots for Xiao Meng.
With Bai Wei's dressing, Xiao Meng looked like a delicate and beautiful doll, and she looked more noble than when she was in the He family.
Every time He Zhaodi took her sister on the road, if she accidentally ran into Xiao Meng, the comparison between the two made the He family's daughter look even more shabby. Because of Wang Cuihua's instructions, He Zhaodi didn't dare to say hello to Xiao Meng. The sisters in the past were very unfamiliar when they met, more like two parallel lines of life, getting farther and farther apart.
Wang Cuihua couldn't bear to see Xiao Meng living a good life, and she was even more irreconcilable with Bai Wei, so it was impossible for her to lend things to her family.
But Bai Wei didn't care. If the sacks were not enough, he could use a backpack to fill them up. He estimated that they could all be put in.
"Master, we have so many walnuts, how can we take the bus?"
Xiao Meng helped Bai Wei pack the walnuts and also asked a key question.
When we go to the county town to gather every month, the wives of the soldiers in the army are more enthusiastic than each other, and there are not many empty seats on the bus.
"Yeah, there's so much stuff, it's hard to squeeze in."
Bai Wei was reminded by Xiao Meng and also discovered this important problem.
"What do you mean? If we can't drag it to the county, how can we make money?"
Shen Cuiyu was listening to their conversation from the side, and she became anxious.
This concerns her personal interests, so there can be no ambiguity at all.
"It's okay. I have a solution. Xiao Meng, you continue packing walnuts. I'll go out for a while."
Bai Wei patted Xiao Meng's shoulder, turned around and left the courtyard.
Since you need a car, just borrow one from the army!
Bai Wei thought simply. She walked out of the yard and headed towards Tang Desen's office.
But not long after Bai Wei left, Xiao Meng, who was packing walnuts, heard a knock on the door.
Boom...Boom boom!
Xiao Meng was a little surprised. The knocking sound had a rhythm.
Just when Xiao Meng was about to open the door, Shen Cuiyu suddenly stood up and said something to Xiao Meng.
"I'm a little thirsty, go get me a glass of water!"
Seeing that Xiao Meng didn't react, Shen Cuiyu pushed Xiao Meng.
"Hurry up! You idiot! Are you looking for a fight?"
Shen Cuiyu frowned and scolded.
Xiao Meng glanced outside the yard and saw an obvious reflection at the door. She didn't say anything else, just nodded, responded, turned around and ran towards the main room.
But as soon as Xiao Meng arrived at the main room, he secretly hid behind the door and looked out through the crack.
Shen Cuiyu waited until Xiao Meng entered the house, then she quickly walked to the door and opened it.
Xiao Meng clearly saw Tang Xuemei standing at the door with a butter paper bag in her hand. She whispered in dissatisfaction.
"What's wrong with you these days? Are you always away from home? Are you not doing anything?"
"Pfft!"
Shen Cuiyu raised her finger and clicked her tongue, then looked back.
Not seeing Xiao Meng, Shen Cuiyu hurriedly pulled Tang Xuemei out of the door and closed the gate.
