The two of them hurried back to find the hook without wasting a moment. Not only did they think that Chinese toon was good, it was also a good thing in the eyes of others. They just found that the place where Chinese toon was planted was not particularly hidden. If they delayed for too long and it was picked by others, they would be upset for a while.
When Zhu Cuilan saw this small patch of tender Chinese toon, she said happily, "You two really know how to find a good place. This small patch can be sold for quite a bit of money."
Zhu Cuilan is not as generous now as she was before the New Year. She would like to spend every penny in half. In the past, this little bit of Chinese toon was not enough for the whole family. Now it would be a waste to eat it all by herself. It would be better to exchange it for some silver and keep it in her hand to feel at ease.
Chinese toon grows halfway up the mountain. After picking the Chinese toon, there is a fork in the road when you go back down the mountain. One road leads to Zhaojiazhuang, and the other is not far from Dayang Village.
Seeing that it was still early, Yang Donghu called out to Zhu Cuilan, "Aunt, it's still early. Fang Chu and I want to go see An Jin. We haven't seen him for several days."
Zhu Cuilan was calculating how much these Chinese toon trees could sell for. When she heard Yang Donghu say he wanted to see his future daughter-in-law, she naturally agreed: "Okay, go ahead. He must be feeling suffocated being cooped up at home, so it would be nice if you two could go and chat with him."
As he spoke, he divided half of the toon he had picked, put it in his clothes pocket, and put the remaining half in a basket and handed it to Yang Donghu: "We won't make a fortune by selling this little toon, so why not keep it for ourselves? I'll send this half to An Jin's family. His family is busy and may not have time to pick wild vegetables. This is a good opportunity for them to have a taste of fresh vegetables."
Yang Donghu put the basket on his back and responded, "Hey, I understand."
"We've kept half of it. Don't play too late. Come back early and I'll make eggs with Chinese toon for you two." After saying this, Zhu Cuilan walked towards the path leading to Zhaojiazhuang.
"knew."
Zhao Fangchu came to Dayang Village once on New Year's Eve, but it was dark that day and the villagers gathered together to play, so no one paid attention to them.
When they first saw Zhao Fangchu, he looked unfamiliar. Passersby looked at him curiously, but when they saw him walking with Yang Donghu, they realized that he was the young master of the Zhao family.
There are a few people who like to watch the fun in every village. Sanwai's wife has nowhere else to go, so she sits under a big tree all day doing nothing. Her family doesn't have much land, so she rented it out to people from other villages to grow medicinal herbs. Sanwai works as a sedan chair carrier for a wealthy master in town, and doesn't come back once a month. When he comes back occasionally, he just pays the money and leaves.
Sanwai's wife lived comfortably at home, well-fed and well-drinking, and had no desire to find other ways to make money. She was content with having enough to eat for herself and her child. Even if some people in the village didn't like it, they had no right to criticize her. Sanwai was doing it willingly, and no one else could interfere.
Sanwai's wife couldn't stand Wang Dujuan. She knew Yang Donghu had been treated harshly since childhood, and now that he was married, he and Wang Dujuan weren't close at all, and even had a falling out. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Sanwai's wife greeted Yang Donghu enthusiastically from a distance, "Donghu, why did you have time to come to the village today? What's going on?"
If she didn't say anything, Yang Donghu would definitely not speak, but now he couldn't hide, so Yang Donghu responded: "Auntie is sitting here, I'm here to find An Jin."
Seeing Yang Donghu carrying a large basket and coming from the direction of the forest, Sanwai's wife unconsciously glanced into the basket, wanting to see what was inside. "That's right, An Jin has arranged an engagement with your husband's family, so she has to come visit from time to time. You finally came here, and you don't even go home to visit? Your family has been in trouble lately."
Yang Donghu wasn't interested in the Yang family's affairs, but since his grandmother was still there, he asked, "What happened?"
"Oh, you didn't know. I thought your mother would come to look for you. Your eldest sister and her husband had a fight. Your eldest sister is still staying at her parents' house. I heard that the fight was pretty fierce. Don't you want to go and take a look?"
Yang Donghu breathed a sigh of relief. As long as nothing happened to his grandmother, he couldn't care less about the others. Whether Sanwai's wife was doing it intentionally or not, she was obviously just there to watch the fun. Yang Donghu didn't want to say much and replied calmly, "I haven't heard about it. Maybe they don't want me to know. Aunt, you guys sit down first. I have something else to do. We can chat later."
Sanwai's wife watched the man walk away and said with a sigh, "Look, he's much more confident now. When he was little, he was like a mouse seeing a cat when he saw Wang Dujuan. Now that he's married into a wealthy family, he's even more assertive. There's no trace of him being bullied. I have to make a promise to my daughter in the future that she has to have the ability to find a good husband."
"Who says not? Look at you, you've become a completely different person now. The saying that it's better to get married than to be reborn is really true."
Yang Chunxiao's secret taking of money was discovered by her husband. Since the truth could not be hidden, she just wanted to give it to Wang Dujuan for two days. When Wang Dujuan had money, she would return it to her and even give her a little more so that she would feel better.
Yang Chunxiao has been married for several years, but she has not been pregnant. Her mother-in-law has always disliked her and always uses the fact that she has no children to humiliate her.
Her husband originally protected her, but Yang Chunxiao herself was confused. Even though Wang Dujuan treated her like that, she was still obsessed with finding ways to send gifts to her parents' home. After this happened so many times, her husband couldn't stand it anymore, and the gap between the two of them became deeper and deeper.
In the spring, someone in the village came to sell land, which was a fertile paddy field. The seller had some connections with Yang Chunxiao's husband's family, so he thought of his family first. The two families had agreed on the price. Normally, one mu of good land would cost five taels of silver, but because the seller was in urgent need of money and was eager to sell it, he compromised on the price and sold two mu in total for only five taels of silver.
