Chapter 434: Selling Charcoal



After the two of them came out of Zhou's house, Song Yuehua asked Xiao Cui, "Have you thought about what to do after the divorce?"

Feng Cuihua hummed lightly and said, "Xiao Ye burns charcoal, and the price is not expensive. I want to get some charcoal from her and sell it."

Song Yuehua thought for a while before saying, "It might be difficult for you, a woman, to sell charcoal."

If it was an ordinary woman, it would be fine, but the problem is that Feng Cuihua is too eye-catching. If she meets someone who wants to take advantage of her...

"Don't worry, boss," Feng Cuihua knew what Song Yuehua was worried about, so she said, "I will wrap the charcoal tightly when I sell it, including all the old and broken ones, and I will sell it for as much as I can."

Song Yuehua responded, "When you get to the county, look for the Tianyuan Chess Hall. There are many people living in the county. Let Xiaofu ask for you then."

"Thank you, sir."

A few days after she returned home, Lin came to talk to her about Hu Jinshui and Xiao Cui.

"Hu Jinshui said that we could get a divorce, but we had to pay compensation."

Song Yuehua immediately reacted strangely, "Didn't the Feng family confiscate the betrothal gifts?"

When the two families got married, the Feng family only wanted to move to Taoyuan Village to avoid disaster, and Hu Jinshui just wanted to marry a wife.

They hit it off immediately and no one mentioned dowry or betrothal gifts.

Lin said, "At that time, the Feng family lived in the Hu family, and the food they ate was calculated by Hu Jinshui according to the grain price at that time."

"How can we calculate how much food we have eaten?" Song Yuehua was puzzled. "How can we calculate it by force?"

"That's right." Lin said, "Xiao Cui's father was tough for once. He said he would pay back the money after buying the land for the family."

"Has it been sold?" Song Yuehua asked.

Lin shook her head and said, "No, according to Hu Jinshui's calculation, they have to pay back 50 taels of silver. How can their family sell it for 50 taels of silver?"

"So what should we do now?" Song Yuehua asked.

"I asked Xiao Cui privately and she said that if she really had to pay back 50 taels, she would rather be divorced," Lin said with a sigh, "Now your uncle Dafu has gone to persuade her, let's wait and see."

"After all, they have been married for so many years, and I never thought it would end up like this."

Song Yuehua also sighed.

However, the next day, Lin came over again and said to her, "They are divorced!"

"Has Uncle Dafu been persuaded?" Song Yuehua asked.

Lin waved her hand and said, "I still want the silver, but I only want 10 taels of silver. I heard that Xiao Cui borrowed it from Wang Xiaoye."

"Wang Xiaoye is a kind-hearted person." Song Yuehua said.

Lin also sighed, "That's right, that's 10 taels of silver, it seems that Gou Wazi has made a lot of money in the past few years."

When Song Yuehua went to the chess hall again, she happened to meet Feng Cuihua who was carrying charcoal.

If it weren't for his round eyes, she wouldn't have recognized him.

"Is this the first time you go to the county town to sell charcoal today?" Song Yuehua asked.

Feng Cuihua nodded.

This is too hasty. He just got divorced the day before yesterday and today he's selling charcoal. I don't even know if he has recovered yet.

Song Yuehua took a look and said, "Is this all you're selling?"

"Xiao Ye said that we should sell a small number first so that people can try them out, and then place an order if they think they are useful," Xiao Cui explained.

Song Yuehua said, "I still have several hundred kilograms of charcoal stored in the cellar of my chess hall. If you need it urgently, you can take my stock and sell it. Just replenish it for me. You can store some charcoal in the chess hall or You Mansion in the future to avoid carrying it up and down."

After the two arrived in the county town, Song Yuehua first took Xiao Cui to the chess hall to familiarize themselves with the route. While walking on the road, they met Wu Zheng.

Song Yuehua pulled Xiao Cui, but she lost control of her strength and pulled her down.

Not only did Xiao Cui fall to the ground, but the charcoal in the backpack also spilled out. The two of them hurriedly picked it up and saw an extra pair of hands in front of them. Song Yuehua looked up and saw that it was Wu Zheng.

"This official is Lord Wu." Song Yuehua introduced him to Xiao Cui.

The rag on Xiao Cui's head fell off, and she quickly took the black charcoal from Wu Zheng's hand and said, "Thank you, sir. It's no use."

"Are you selling charcoal again?" Wu Zheng looked at Song Yuehua.

Song Yuehua smiled and said, "Master Wu, these charcoals are not mine, they belong to her."

"How many?"

Song Yuehua exclaimed, and Wu Zheng asked impatiently, "How many are there in total?"

"60 kilograms." Xiao Cui said.

Wu Zheng asked again, "How much is one pound?"

"30 jin of tobacco is 10 wen per jin, and 30 jin of smokeless is 20 wen per jin." Xiao Cui said.

The two were still calculating, and Song Yuehua said, "900 Wen."

Wu Zheng took out a tael of silver and gave it to Xiao Cui, saying, "Carry it to my home."

Xiao Cui didn't expect to have to pay for the first business order, and she didn't have that much money on her.

It was Song Yuehua who went to the store to split the money, counted out 100 coins for Wu Zheng, and counted out 900 coins for Xiao Cui.

Xiao Cui still had to deliver the things to the Wu family, and Song Yuehua was worried so she went with her.

Wu Zheng's family situation was neither bad nor good, but just average, and there was no one at home at that time.

"Don't look around." Wu Zhengdao.

Song Yuehua came to her senses and felt a little embarrassed, thinking that she had indeed been rude.

After leaving the Wu family, Wu Zhengcai said, "If your family is short of charcoal in the future, I will go to the chess hall to let you know and you can send it to my home."

Xiao Cui didn't dare to respond and could only look at Song Yuehua.

"Okay," Song Yuehua said, "If any of your friends need charcoal, just let us know."

Although Wu Zheng didn't say anything, he didn't refuse either. He just hummed.

After the other party left, Xiao Cui exhaled softly and said, "This official is a nice person, but a little scary."

After that, Xiao Cui asked again, "Boss, can I borrow some charcoal from you to sell? I finally came to these counties, and I don't want to go back like this."

It was a pleasant surprise that all the charcoal was sold out, as such a good thing does not happen every day.

Of course Song Yuehua agreed. After returning to the chess hall, she introduced Xiao Cui to Xiao Yu and Xiao Fu, and took out 60 kilograms of charcoal from the cellar at the back and packed it for her.

Xiao Cui was about to go out with the charcoal on her back, and Song Yuehua told her, "Come here to rest at noon. Xiao Hu's vegetable dumplings are only a few cents each, so remember to come."

"OK."

Xiao Cui's pair of peach blossom eyes were exposed, and Song Yuehua smeared some charcoal ash on her face to make them less conspicuous.

Xiang Xiaoyu asked, "She's so beautiful, isn't it bad to do this?"

It really is true that even a straw hairpin and a cloth skirt cannot hide her natural beauty.

Song Yuehua sighed, "It's not easy to be too beautiful."

"Is Sister Xiao Cui getting divorced?" Zhao Xiaofu asked.

Song Yuehua turned to look at her, "How do you know everything?"

Zhao Xiaofu smiled mysteriously, "Tangyuan came over to rest yesterday and told me everything."

"How did he know that..." Song Yuehua said, "It was Zhang Dandan, right?"

Zhao Xiaofu nodded.

By noon, Xiao Cui had not returned yet, and Song Yuehua became a little anxious.
