Then it was a matter of dividing the money. After Boss Jiang counted out the money that needed to be handed over to the public, he handed the rest to Jiang Erlang.
Jiang Erlang felt that he didn't help much, so he followed them up the mountain just to see if there was anything fishy going on.
As a result, he actually discovered some of them, but Sanlang and Wei Jie were stupid and couldn't see them.
After receiving the silver, they ran to Jiang Erlang and Jiang Sanlang's house. Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei couldn't suppress the smiles on their faces, and their eyes were extremely hot when they looked at the silver.
Seeing Jiang Erlang pushing all the silver in front of the three of them, Jiang Huaixu immediately said, "Second brother, among the four of us, you are the one who needs the silver the most. Besides, you helped a lot this time. It can't be divided among just the three of us."
Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei reacted immediately and nodded quickly.
"Second brother, it was you who talked over the restaurant owner, and he accepted our mushrooms. You must have a share of the money." Jiang Sanlang said seriously.
"Yes, yes." Jiang Wei nodded like a chick pecking at rice.
Jiang Erlang compromised under the gaze of three pairs of eyes and finally agreed. Since he was going to take the exam, he would definitely need a lot of money in the future, and he couldn't rely entirely on his family.
More than one hundred taels of silver were divided into four equal parts, giving each person thirty or forty taels. Jiang Sanlang and Jiang Wei couldn't stop smiling.
Seeing that the weather was bad today, Jiang Huaixu put away the silver and went back to the house to read medical books.
She asked Fu Tuan to print out the medical books, which looked no different from ancient books, one was "Huangdi Neijing" and the other was "Compendium of Materia Medica".
Since she made it clear, she has never concealed it.
After watching for a while, the rain started to fall again.
Jiang Huaixu tilted her head to look at the rain outside the window. The rain was getting heavier. She always felt that the rain in the past few days was very unusual.
[Tuanzi, when you eavesdropped on Qian Xiuzhu's conversation, did she say that it would rain before the drought?]
[No.]
「That’s strange...」
[Host, don't worry. Isn't it enough for you to have this dumpling? ]
Jiang Huaixu rolled her eyes. Futuan said it was a system, but in fact it was just a lazy person. It would only urge her when it had used up all its own points.
She opened the mall and found all kinds of outdoor rainy day equipment, including black tents, barbecue grills, charcoal blocks, small stoves, alcohol blocks, etc. She even bought close-fitting waterproof clothes from the Interstellar Mall.
After the purchase, hundreds of thousands of points were gone.
"No matter what, it's better to be prepared." Although she was heartbroken, she mumbled to comfort herself.
"Little sister..." Jiang Wei walked in with a drawn-out tone, her face full of grievance.
Jiang Huaixu was so frightened that his hands trembled, but he asked with a calm expression, "What's wrong?"
"My mother took away all my money... and my third brother's..."
"Oh, how miserable." Jiang Huaixu said dryly.
She couldn't empathize with this, as she had always kept her pocket money and New Year's money by herself since she was a child.
She asked sympathetically, "Why?"
Jiang Wei's tone was filled with tears. "She said she wanted to save up her money for my dowry, and she wanted to keep her third brother's for marrying off. Mother is biased, why doesn't she want yours?"
Seeing her pouting and sulking with him, Jiang Huaixu knew she was just sulking, so he asked, "Sister, have you found out where I've hidden my money these days?"
“······No.” She was also puzzled. She lived with her youngest sister, but she had never seen her hide anything private.
"You have to be as reliable as me." After praising himself, Jiang Huaixu lowered his voice, "Otherwise, you can't let mother know about the money you make."
Jiang Wei opened her eyes slightly, and her bitter face became bright again. "Little sister, what other business do you want to start? I'll help you!"
Jiang Huaixu really had an idea, but picking mushrooms was not a legitimate business after all, so she had to think about it carefully.
"You have no money left?"
"...only one ounce of silver, and so does my third brother."
"Just keep it for now. You and Third Brother don't have much to buy." Jiang Huaixu pointed out the window. "It's been raining a lot these past few days. It's inconvenient to do anything when it rains."
Jiang Wei thought about it and put her mind at ease for the time being.
One tael of silver is still silver and can buy a lot of things. Comforting herself with this, she began to think about what to buy in town after the rain stopped.
Soon Zheng Li Niang started to prepare breakfast. Since it was her first time, Jiang Wei sat in front of the stove and made a fire, while Jiang Huaixu took the role of guiding his sister-in-law in cooking.
It’s called guidance, but in fact it’s just helping out and memorizing the menu.
There were leeks and Chinese cabbage at home, as well as the mutton and chicken bought yesterday. Before the rain got heavier, Qian Xiuzhu asked Jiang Sanlang to go to the next village to buy a lot of tofu. So soon, five dishes were served on the table: scrambled eggs with leeks, Chinese cabbage with vinegar, pan-fried tofu, stir-fried mutton, and braised chicken with scallion oil.
"Come and eat, this is the dry rice I made today." Qian Xiuzhu shouted at the top of her voice.
Only Jiang Erlang was called over, the others had already sat down and were waiting.
Old man Jiang picked up the chopsticks and picked up the fried tofu first, putting it in his mouth. It was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, very delicious. There was also a strange taste that dominated the tip of his tongue, which he had never tasted before.
"What kind of five-spice powder is put in this?" he asked Dalang's wife.
The moment he picked up his chopsticks, the others couldn't help but start eating.
Zheng Li Niang wiped the corner of her mouth and said, "Yes, Master, I added the five-spice powder and chili powder that my youngest sister bought to these dishes. Don't they taste much better?"
"Not bad, not bad." Old man Jiang nodded and smiled, then picked up a piece of mutton and started eating it with relish.
Qian Xiuzhu also said: "The cooking tastes really good. Our family is much more comfortable now, so we don't have to be too frugal in the future. Dalang's wife, when you have free time, use cotton cloth to make two new clothes for Dalang and you. Sister Wei can come and help me when you are free. You are already a grown-up girl, you should learn to do needlework..."
Jiang Huaixu saw that Jiang Wei was enjoying her meal and didn't take Qian Xiuzhu's words to heart at all, so he couldn't help but shook his head.
As for her sister, she thinks everything is fine as long as she has something to eat. She is too naive.
Thinking of this, she picked up another piece of tofu. For the first time since she came into this world, she ate a meal with such satisfaction.
Most of the food available in the space is fast food. How can it be as delicious as hot meals?
Zheng Li'niang is indeed talented in cooking. Even if she doesn't have all the seasonings, she can still cook the food well.
After breakfast, Qian Xiuzhu took Jiang Wei into the house to make clothes, while Jiang Huaixu studied medicine alone.
At noon, the sky seemed to be clearing up, but within an hour, a strong wind suddenly arose and the sky gradually darkened.
Qian Xiuzhu, who was doing needlework, was startled by the rumbling thunder outside. She looked up and found that the room had become much darker, but she was concentrating on her embroidery and didn't notice it.
Seeing that Sister Wei had fallen asleep at some point, the eldest daughter-in-law raised her head and looked out the window. She had a bad feeling in her heart.
I have never dreamed of such heavy rain.
