Ma's face was bruised by the scolding, but she didn't dare to refute. She just muttered, "What can I do? The four pillars are back, and I can't win the fight... You know better than me how poor the Zhao family is. They can't make any money anymore, and now they're lucky to be alive."
Old Lady Ma snorted coldly, "After all, it's still that girl from the Zhao family. Even after being divorced, she's still so powerful. Let's see what she can do. Why don't you find her a husband? Wouldn't that little whore thank you happily?"
Ma suffered a loss at Zhao Taohua's hands today, and she looked a bit embarrassed. "That little bitch is really powerful. She just got divorced, so I'm afraid she won't be able to find a suitable one. The key is that I can see that she definitely wants to get married. She has food and drink in her parents' home, so why would she marry?"
Old Madam Ma sneered, glanced at Ma, and said, "Look at how cowardly you are. It's a good thing you can't find a suitable one. Otherwise, how can you marry a greedy and lazy man? I think Zhang Laizi, our neighbor, is a good choice..."
As she spoke, Old Mrs. Ma began to whisper in Ma's ear.
Ma thought this was a good idea. By then, that little bitch would have no choice but to marry.
"But here, you should first make plans with that beggar Zhang. When you go back to the Zhao family tomorrow, I think you can still extort some betrothal money out of her. For a divorced second-hand girl, one or two taels is not too little," said Old Lady Ma with a smile, rolling her eyes.
Ma nodded habitually.
Whatever mother does is right, even if she is wrong, she is also right.
But when she thought of the way Zhao Dazhu looked at her yesterday, with his eyes full of anger and as if he wanted to punch her, Ma was still a little scared.
But on second thought, the Zhao family would not be willing to beat her, because she was the daughter-in-law that the Zhao family had spent all their savings to marry.
Without her, the Zhao family would fall apart.
Ma felt happy when she thought about it.
…
afternoon.
Accompanied by Zhao Erzhu, Zhao Taohua took Zhao Sui'an and rode the village's ox cart to the town.
The first thing to do when arriving in town is to explore all the streets to find out where the flow of people is heavy and where the flow of people is light...
Then we rushed to the candied fruit shop, which bought all the ingredients needed for ice jelly, such as brown sugar, hawthorn fruit, dried fruits... They packed several large bags, each costing half a pound.
These things were usually expensive and one could only buy a small plate at a high price, but Zhao Taohua closed her eyes and watched, which made Zhao Erzhu stare.
Afterwards, Zhao Taohua bought a small bag of potato starch and a brand new large wooden barrel. She originally wanted to buy some wooden bowls, but Zhao Erzhu said he could cut bamboo and make them himself, so she didn't want to buy them.
This saved a lot of money.
But I bought so much, and it was just the ingredients, so I only spent about one and a half taels.
Yes, one and a half ounces.
Two taels of silver could make the two elders of the Zhao family unable to sleep. Zhao Taohua bought a lot of things and actually spent them lavishly. The extent of her spending was probably enough to give the two elders a heart attack.
However, these ingredients are far from enough in Zhao Taohua's eyes. After all, some space should be reserved for her private goods.
Especially the brown sugar. The brown sugar in the space kitchen is a fine product far beyond this era.
"Hey, there's milk for sale over there."
Zhao Taohua said in surprise. After all, in the farming era, it was oxen that worked and pulled carts. Dairy cows were relatively scarce, and it was a rare thing to be able to buy cow's milk in this town.
So Zhao Taohua bought half a bucket without hesitation, spending a full 10 yuan.
In this case, her total capital was exactly two taels of silver.
"Third sister, if you don't finish this milk, it will go bad!"
Zhao Erzhu stopped him.
Zhao Taohua shook her head. "No, I have ways to store it. Besides, milk is so precious. If you miss today, it will be hard to buy. You can't catch a wolf without sacrificing the child."
The main thing is that there is space for a refrigerator.
