Chapter 48 Some truth
In addition, the children will grow up gradually. The eldest is already twelve years old this year and will have the strength to help with the work. If the two of them can sell tofu separately, they will probably be able to sell more.
If you earn more money, your life will be better in the future.
Zhuang Yonghe couldn't help but smile a little more.
He knew what he was thinking, and the smile on her face did not diminish: "If I can really make more money in the future, it will really be thanks to Ning girl."
"That's right." Zhuang Yonghe nodded in agreement: "Tomorrow when we go to get tofu, let's bring some things from home. You can pick out the good ones and send them to Ning and Sui."
If you want to take advantage of others and make a profit without any investment, you must be grateful and have the proper manners.
"Don't worry, I've got it all figured out." He smiled and said, "Tomorrow I'll take a few pounds of white flour and ten pounds of corn flour, and a dozen eggs from the old hens at home, and some green onions and spinach, etc., all of which are useful things, so they don't have to spend money to buy them."
"I was thinking of taking more, but looking at the look on Ning's face, I was afraid she wouldn't accept more, so I'll give less for now. We still have a long time to live, so let's just do our best."
For example, she could help make clothes for the two children, tidy up the house, and prepare quilts and mattresses. She always kept this matter in mind and would never let Zhuang Qingning suffer any loss.
"That's what happened."
He had been married to him for many years and had always managed the household and interpersonal relationships very well, making it difficult for anyone to find fault with her. Since she had a plan, he didn't need to worry about it.
Just as He said, there is still a long time to go, and the two families will have a lot of time to get along with each other. It will take more than a short period of time to express gratitude.
"And you guys, please remember to protect your sister Ning when you are in the village." Zhuang Yonghe instructed the young boys who were eating at the table.
After all, it was a female household, which was not in line with the secular rules, and many people probably looked down on Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui. The adults, for the sake of face, would not bring it up openly, but the half-grown children, when they were the most noisy, would speak casually and without thinking, and who knows what unpleasant words they would say.
At this time, if you care about it, it will seem that you are too serious. If you don't care, you will feel uncomfortable and it will be the most difficult to deal with. On the contrary, if you let children like Zhuang Mingliang go, it will seem like children are just fighting, and others cannot blame them. It will also prevent Zhuang Qingning and Zhuang Qingsui from being bullied by other children.
"Dad, you're worrying for nothing." The second oldest, Zhuang Minghao, slurped up the cornmeal batter in his bowl and pouted, "You don't know, Sister Ning is very famous among us kids. It's said that Sister Ning is a ruthless person who will easily use a knife. Who dares to provoke her?"
This is indeed true. When Zhuang Qingning was establishing a daughter's household, she said a lot of harsh words to Zhuang Jingye. After hearing what Zhuang Jingye said, he became more and more scared and simply told him what he said.
The purpose is to prevent people in the village from bullying her just because she is an orphan from a married woman's household. If she is annoyed, she might do something unmanageable like stabbing people with a knife or poisoning them with rat poison.
But as this word was passed from mouth to mouth, its meaning changed.
Some people said that Zhuang Qingning put a knife to Zhuang Jingye's neck, and Zhuang Jingye had no choice but to make Zhuang Qingning a daughter.
Some people also said that when Zhuang Qingning was at Zhuang Ruman's house, the knife in her hand had already seen blood. Otherwise, why would Zhuang Ruman and Song agree to let Zhuang Qingning, who had worked for nothing, go to set up a female household and still be so quiet for so long without causing trouble for her? It was all because she was chopped and was afraid!
In addition, after Zhuang Qingning established her own household, she rented Wen's tofu shop within two days and became very close to her. Others were more and more certain that Zhuang Qingning and the fierce and aggressive Wen were of the same kind, which was why they had similar interests and could get along well.
In short, Zhuang Qingning must not be provoked.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Hearing what Zhuang Minghao said, He frowned, "I watched Ning grow up, don't I know her personality? This time, the Song family forced them into a desperate situation and they had no other options."
"What a ruthless guy who used a knife. He dared to say anything. What did he say about Ning girl? As Ning girl gets older, she will have to complain about her husband's family. How can she get married in the future if she is said like this?"
The more He spoke, the angrier she became: "If you hear someone talking nonsense again, go up and tell them about it."
"In my opinion, this is not a bad thing." Zhuang Yonghe whispered.
"What do you mean?" He didn't quite understand: "This is clearly a bad reputation..."
"A good reputation has both advantages and disadvantages, but a fierce reputation also has both advantages and disadvantages. Ning and Sui have established a female household, and without an adult above them, it is inevitable that some people look down on them. But now everyone says that Ning has a fierce temper, so others dare not neglect her or bully her at will. Isn't this a good thing for Ning?"
Zhuang Yonghe explained: "Look at Mrs. Wen. Although she has a bad temper and a bad reputation, who dared to bully them, an orphan and a widow, for so many years?"
"I think this is a good thing, because it prevents those unruly people who only want to bully others from thinking that they are easy to bully."
"What you said seems to make some sense..." He nodded.
For Zhuang Qingning, the most important thing at the moment is to earn money steadily. As for finding a husband in the future, that will be several years later. Since Zhuang Qingning has established a female household, it is also possible for her to marry a son-in-law, so she does not need to worry too much about such things.
Thinking of this, He felt a little relieved, holding the bowl and drinking cornmeal, while discussing with Zhuang Yonghe how to sell tofu. - Fushun Building, the lanterns at the door were burning red, and the business was as prosperous as the lanterns.
The kitchen was busy. At this time, people were still ordering more dishes, and most of them were braised tofu with soybean sauce.
After listening to Ma's announcement of the dishes, Zhang Yongchang banged the large iron spoon in his hand on the edge of the pot twice and said, "Tell the people outside that the tofu is sold out today. If you want to eat braised tofu with soy sauce, come back tomorrow."
Most of the people who are still eating here at this time are here to have a drink with relatives or friends. They have almost finished drinking now, and you tell them that the dishes they ordered are out of stock. Isn't this obviously looking for trouble?
