Chapter 49: Earning Money



From that day on, Chen Xuanxuan and Chen Daming started a small business selling kimchi.

Chen Daming was busy with business every day, and she handed over the matters of taking care of her husband and father-in-law to her younger brother Chen Xiaoming.

Time passed quickly, and six days later, Gu Decong came back with his father.

As soon as the father and son came back, they found that in just over 20 days, their house had changed a lot.

Of course, the most obvious change was that everyone in the family seemed to have gained weight.

Especially Chen Xuanxuan, her clothes became more and more beautiful, and she even wore a pair of embroidered cloth shoes on her feet.

Gu Decong noticed that his wife's skin had become much whiter and she had become prettier in just 20 days. He thought about it and couldn't help asking, "Wife, during the time I was away, no one should have bothered you, right?"

Chen Xuanxuan didn't understand what he meant, but she still replied with a smile, "No one has bothered you."

"That's right. There is a relative in your family who used to sell tofu in the county. Some time ago, someone died in his store, and several of his family members were thrown into jail. Now, they haven't been rescued yet. By the way, the child is not very old, he looks about fifteen or sixteen years old. His name is Gu Decong. He brought his brothers to ask me for help that day, so I took them to my mother's house and asked my eldest brother to find his godfather, Captain Huang..."

When Gu Yanzhang heard this, he frowned.

Gu Decong's family? ...

Thinking of that big family, who used to only come back for ancestor worship, Gu Yanzhang shook his head slightly in his heart.

This matter is a bit serious. There are not many people in the clan who are really promising. They can't help at all...

While Gu Yanzhang was thinking, Chen Xuanxuan had already prepared food for them.

"This is the noodles I cooked for you. Eat it while it's hot!"

The two bowls that Chen Xuanxuan handed over were both tomato egg noodles. There was a lot of oil and seasoning in the tomato egg noodles.

Especially the mixed vegetables, they were particularly rich and delicious.

Carrot shreds, cucumber shreds, chopped black fungus, fried peanuts, and the particularly appetizing sour cucumbers and sour beans. Served with a spoonful of chili oil with a lot of chili. This bowl of tomato and egg noodles, just by its appearance, can whet one's appetite.

Sure enough, after Gu Yanzhang received the bowl of noodles from Chen Xuanxuan, he couldn't help swallowing his saliva. He

picked up the chopsticks and began to eat with big mouthfuls.

Gu Yanzhang and his father both ate very fast. In less than a minute, they finished the whole bowl of noodles.

"Are you full? If you are not full, I have more here..."

Gu Yanzhang listened and shook his head gently, "We haven't eaten enough for a long time outside. Now that we are home, we can't eat too much. Otherwise, we won't be able to adapt..."

Gu Yanzhang and his father had such personal experience before.

People who haven't eaten enough for a long time, suddenly eat a lot one day, not only will they suffer from gastrointestinal discomfort, but they will also have vomiting. In other words, everything they eat will come out.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanzhang really didn't dare to eat anymore. Because if he continued to eat, he felt it would be a waste.

Seeing that both the father and son were unwilling to eat anymore, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and gave them all the tattered clothes she had bought from that poor app before.

Gu Yanzhang was quite excited to find that he had new clothes to wear as soon as he got home. He couldn't help asking, "Wife, this dress looks quite expensive. How much did it cost?"

When Chen Xuanxuan heard him mention money, she couldn't help rolling her eyes at him, "How much do you think it will cost?"

"Recently, the vegetables in our garden have all been ripe. There were too many vegetables, and I was worried that they would be wasted, so I made them into pickles and sauerkraut that can be stored for a long time. Summer is coming, and I thought I still need to buy a lot of things for the family. And those things all require money to buy, so I thought to myself, why not just give all the vegetables to my eldest brother to help me sell them."

"During the time when you were not at home, my eldest brother helped me sell a lot of vegetables. Look at the pickled cucumber and pickled beans you just ate, we sold them very well. A big bowl of vegetables is only two cents, and many people in the county are willing to pay for it..."

"Yesterday my eldest brother brought me good news. He said that there is a store in the county that specializes in selling steamed buns. They want to make those sauerkraut steamed buns. So they came to us and ordered 100 catties of sauerkraut. I charged them 90 cents for 100 catties of sauerkraut. Although this money is not much, it is still good for our family..."

Hearing Chen Xuanxuan talking about doing business, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but grumble in his heart.

I don't know what's going on with this daughter-in-law. Recently, it seems like something has dawned on him. He has even thought of doing business.

So, after thinking about it, Gu Yanzhang couldn't help but ask, "Wife, do we still have a lot of pickled cabbage?"

"If there is still a lot, then starting from tomorrow, I will take my father, Dazhu and other children to sell pickled cabbage to the surrounding towns..."

After hearing this, Chen Xuanxuan thought about it and nodded.

"Okay."

"I'm happy that you are willing to run around and earn more money for the family."

"But the mountains are high and the roads are long, and it's very tiring to carry hundreds of pounds of things up and down every day!"

Gu Yanzhang listened and replied with a smile, "What can we do now that isn't tiring?"

"People who live here have lived a tiring life for generations. As long as I can have one more meal to eat and one more piece of clothing to wear, no matter how tired or hard I am, it's worth it..."

Hearing Gu Yanzhang say such words in a condescending manner, Chen Xuanxuan felt sad and couldn't help but glare at him lightly.

"Come on, you've been working hard for a while, take a hot bath now and go to bed early!"

"You guys go to bed and rest first, I'll wake you up later and we'll have a family reunion dinner together."

Hearing Chen Xuanxuan suddenly say that she would make pork with preserved vegetables, pork belly, steamed pork with rice flour for them, Gu Yanzhang, who had just eaten a big bowl of noodles, couldn't help but drool. They

had been doing hard labor in the river, carrying water and sand, and doing all kinds of heavy physical work, and they had long felt exhausted.
