Chapter 89 Heavy Rain (Part 2)
In fact, at the beginning, Ye was really not satisfied with the Cui family and did not want her daughter to marry into the Cui family.
She felt that her Zhiluo deserved someone better.
However, Zhiluo liked it, and Cui Hejin was indeed raised in a noble family, and his every move showed good manners, so they nodded in agreement.
I just thought, as long as Zhiluo is happy, that's all that matters.
Now seeing that Zhiluo has become sensible and intelligent, and looks in a good mood, it is clear that she is living a comfortable life, so she feels a little relieved.
Otherwise she would feel uneasy.
"Mother sees that although He Jin has a cold temper, he has a soft and kind heart. I will be relieved if you two live a good life."
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Mom, don't worry, he's fine."
"Since the blacksmith shop thinks the bellows are useful, if we promote it well, more people will come to buy them. But it's just a matter of time."
Ye nodded and said, "That's right. Your father and I originally wanted to sell the bellows for 200 coins each, but we can't get the price here. If the price is too high, no one in the village will be willing to buy it. If it's 100 coins, someone in the nearby village who is better off might be willing to buy a bellows to use back home."
"They don't understand bellows now. Only after they actually use them will they know how useful they are. They are very convenient for making fire and cooking."
"Just a few pulls will make the flames at the stove very strong, saving a lot of firewood."
"Now that the weather is getting warmer, people don't feel anything. I think when the weather gets colder, especially in winter, people will buy bellows."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded.
Jiang Yunxuan helped pour the water and then sat there watching obediently.
Even though he didn't quite understand what his mother and elder sister said, he liked to stick with his elder sister.
After a while of conversation, Ye talked about picking dandelions.
"The medical clinic in our county town collects medicinal herbs. They send some common herbs half-dried, ten cents per pound. They happen to collect dandelions, and your sister would pick some dandelions when she has nothing to do and dry them in the sun."
"Your third and fifth sisters had lunch and then went to pick fruits."
Jiang Zhiluo nodded. She knew that her younger brothers and sisters were all hardworking and capable.
"Are medicinal herbs so cheap? Only ten cents per pound."
Although dandelions are common in the mountains, they are so small that they have no weight at all, let alone being half-dried after being dried in the sun.
Ye nodded and said, "All medicinal herbs are priced like this. Perhaps the uncommon ones are more expensive, but we haven't seen or understood them, so naturally we can't pick them."
"I have nothing to do anyway, and it's not busy right now. I can pick more on weekdays, dry them in the sun, and sell them for twenty or thirty coins."
"Don't underestimate these twenty or thirty coins. You can buy several kilograms of coarse grains with them."
"Besides, these jobs are not tiring and can be done in your free time."
For Ye, earning even a penny more is still earning.
One penny can buy two eggs.
Jiang Zhiluo knew that the Ye family was used to living frugally.
She has many brothers and sisters, and her family has land, so she may not have the time to go to the town to set up a stall and do business every day.
Besides, not everyone is suitable for setting up a stall. Even if they have a skill, some people will be afraid to set up a stall if they don’t know how to speak or are not good at dealing with people.
She had asked her father before, and her father also wanted to find time to do something.
In this way, Jiang Zhiluo talked with her mother and brother, and time passed little by little.
In the afternoon, thunder suddenly sounded in the sky.
"Boom..."
"Boom..."
Along with the continuous thunder, strong winds blew in the sky.
Ye's expression changed and she said, "It's going to rain heavily."
Ye didn't care about anything else and hurried to the yard to take the clothes that were hanging out to dry and take them home.
Jiang Zhiluo hurriedly helped to bring the dandelions back to the house, and Xuanxuan also stepped on his legs to carry the small stool, mat and dustpan in the yard back home.
He was only five years old and not very strong, so he couldn't move so many things at once and had to move them one at a time.
If you accidentally fall, you will quickly get up by yourself.
Jiang Zhiluo had things in both hands and didn't bother to help him. Seeing how sensible he was, she felt a little sad.
"Xuanxuan, some things are too heavy for you to move, so I can help you."
Xuanxuan took the things and said seriously: "Sister, I can move a few more times, so that mother and sister will have less work."
Just as I found something to cover the firewood in the yard, it suddenly started raining heavily.
The thunderstorm came suddenly and was very heavy.
Jiang Zhiluo said worriedly, "What should I do? Dad and my third brother haven't come back yet."
Xuanxuan also looked outside, seeming a little worried about his father and brothers and sisters.
It was raining heavily and the door was closed, so the rain was seeping in through the cracks.
"There's no umbrella at home, and I can't go pick them up."
Xuanxuan crossed his little fingers and whispered, "Umbrellas are so expensive!"
He knew that his parents wanted to buy an umbrella, and an umbrella at the market cost three hundred coins.
Three hundred coins can buy a lot of food.
Even though Xuanxuan is only five years old, he understands prices and food.
Jiang Zhiluo couldn't help but think, "It's really inconvenient without an umbrella."
Ordinary families in the village cannot afford to buy an umbrella. An umbrella costing several hundred coins is too expensive for the villagers.
Even if they don’t need an umbrella, people won’t buy it.
You can buy a lot of food with these copper coins.
Just don't go out on rainy days.
Ye started to boil water in the pot, thinking that when Jiang Xiangchuan and the others came back, they could take a hot bath to drive away the cold.
She also quickly found everyone's spare clothes in the closet.
Jiang Zhiluo was lighting a fire at the stove. Xuanxuan said, "Sister, I'll pump the bellows for you. I know how to pump bellows."
Jiang Zhiluo felt sorry for her brother and said, "You are still young, don't overwork yourself, I can do the bellows."
"Sister, I will grow up quickly and be able to help you."
"Well, our Xuanxuan needs to eat well and eat well, so that he will have strength."
Jiang Zhiluo said to Ye: "Mother, take the money I gave you and use it. If there is not enough food at home, go buy some food. Don't let your brothers and sisters go hungry when they are growing up."
Ye said: "Mother knows that now that our family can make money on a daily basis, we usually cook more meals."
Soon, Jiang Yunhua and Jiang Yunmian came back in the rain carrying baskets on their backs.
They were all soaked.
When they saw Jiang Zhiluo, their eyes lit up and they were very surprised, "Sister."
"Sister, you're back."
The two people didn't care about being soaked by the rain and talked happily around Jiang Zhiluo.
Jiang Zhiluo smiled and said, "Hurry up and take a hot shower and change into clean clothes, or you'll catch a cold."
"Don't worry, we'll talk later."
Jiang Yunhua and Jiang Yunmian then went to the bathroom to take a shower.
The Jiang family's yard is larger and has more rooms, including a room specifically for everyone to wash and take a bath.
Jiang Zhiluo looked at the heavy rain outside and thought that if it continued to rain like this, she probably wouldn't be able to go home tonight.
I don’t know if my mother will be worried.
Jiang Yunhua and Jiang Yunmian came out soon. Jiang Yunmian said happily, "Sister, we recently sold the dandelions we dried at the clinic and made twelve cents."
"It's just that my third sister and I are not very good at identifying medicinal herbs. If we could identify other herbs, we could pick more of them..."
Jiang Yunmian was very excited to share some happy things with Jiang Zhiluo.
"Does the clinic collect a lot of medicinal herbs?"
