Chapter 42 The difficulty has increased
During the autumn harvest, the meals were so good that the Zhou family members gained weight rapidly, even the eldest and second oldest workers gained weight. The most obvious one was Li. She was a foodie and had caught a lot of pheasants during the autumn harvest. Zhulan was willing to spend money on her, so Li showed off her skills. As a result, Li's face became rounder. The facial features were not three-dimensional to begin with, and now they were rounder like a big pancake.
Zhulan usually doesn't look at Li's face, especially when she smiles, her eyes are squinting because it looks too funny. But Li doesn't think so. What she is most proud of is her face, and she always praises herself as having a lucky face.
The autumn harvest was soon over, and the rice threshed out was neatly stacked in bags, waiting for the autumn harvest in the village to be completed and taxes to be paid.
A lot of pheasants were caught in the autumn harvest. Zhulan was eating meat, and eating chicken continuously was enough. In the end, Zhou Shuren had eaten the marinated duck, and according to the principle, he made all the pheasants that could not be eaten into marinated pheasants.
As for why the pheasants are not raised, pheasants are very temperamental. If they are tied up for a short while, they will get angry and die. There is no chance to raise them at all.
The autumn harvest was over, and the eldest and second sons went to the fields to pull corn stalks to use as firewood.
Zhulan also prepared gifts and calculated the date to return to her parents' home to inquire about the specific date of the escort mission so that she could prepare luggage for Zhou Shuren. She was happy to have some quiet time as she had no time to deal with Li, who was visiting her boss.
People really don't stand nagging. Zhulan was thinking about Li, and Li ran back with messy hair. "Did a dog bite you? How can you not walk?"
Originally, she thought that she was the only stupid person in the Li family, so she was willing to be more lenient to him. However, she didn't know what your sweet words had done to her, and she was trembling with fear all day long, almost kowtowing to you to admit her mistakes. Several times, the neighbors saw her and severely criticized her. The reputation for kindness that she had worked so hard to gain was gone in an instant.
She was so angry that she finally realized that Li was destined to be punished. Look, even after being scolded, she was still smiling.
Li was not afraid at all and pulled her hair together. Her mother's gloomy face could not suppress her excitement. "Mom, the third daughter of Wang Laosi's family has made a lot of money. The Xu family heard a bundle of copper coins ringing, and they said there were several taels of silver!"
Zhulan, "........everyone in the village knows about it!"
Their family no longer mixes in, and Wang Ru's road to counterattack becomes increasingly difficult. First, Wang Laosi changed, and then this time he made money. The original author was not a chatterbox, and no one in the village knew that Wang Ru made money. Now it's the Xu family's turn. Although the Xu family seems honest and taciturn, they can't hide anything. This is a bit like the Li family, and the two of them are like-minded.
Li felt that her mother-in-law had missed the point. "Mother, San Ya has made money. A lot of money."
Zhulan agreed with this point. The Zhou family could not earn ten taels of silver with their twenty mu of land in a year. The original text said that Wang Ru earned ten taels of silver, all from selling ten recipes of kimchi. It was so cheap. Don't expect there was copyright awareness in ancient times. This was only because the kimchi was fresh, otherwise it would be good if one dish could be sold for one hundred coins.
Li saw that her mother was distracted again. What could she do in a hurry? She could only call out softly, "Mother, mother."
Zhulan came back to her senses. She didn't care about the reaction caused by Wang Ru's money. She only cared about the spicy cabbage. She could also make a small fortune by taking advantage of the opportunity. Anyway, the Zhou family has always been a source of hatred. There is nothing to worry about if there are too many lice. "Go and call the eldest and the second brother back."
Li was a little confused, but her mother-in-law had already turned around and went back to the house, wondering what had happened. She ran away quickly. Although she was a little fat, Li was also a smart fat girl.
Zhulan went back to the house and dug out the money, her eyes sparkling, "I'll ask the eldest and second brothers to collect more cabbages to sell, and we can also take advantage of the opportunity to make some money."
Zhou Shuren frowned, "Don't worry, wait until the Wang family reveals that the spicy cabbage is made of cabbage."
Zhu Lan patted her forehead and said, "Yes, you are right. I will ask Li to find out later. She is an expert in this field."
I feel happy when I say this, a family really cannot do without someone like Li.
