Xiao Ya pushed open the door and walked inside.
After telling Su Jiaoniang about the situation outside, Su Jiaoniang sighed softly. Every place has good people and some who try to be clever.
This has remained unchanged throughout the ages.
He touched Xiaoya and Futu's faces and thought his children were very clever. One played the bad cop and the other the good cop, and the matter was resolved.
Stepping outside, I saw that everyone's baskets were filled with large, red, and crisp persimmons.
Baskets of persimmons were weighed and piled up in the yard. After the persimmon seller left, Su Jiaoniang went to the kitchen.
Dinner was extremely simple.
After dinner, Su Jiaoniang looked at Xiaoya and asked, "Why are you back so late today?"
After thinking for a moment, Xiao Ya said, "Mother, our business has been ruined. The officials in the county said that we are not allowed to set up stalls at the dock, and the landlord of the rented shop refunded our rent. We're not renting it anymore!"
The child finished speaking and sighed deeply.
Doing business is really tough!
She, Hu Niu, and Zhang Erzhu walked around the county town today but couldn't find a suitable shop.
Some of the shops haven't been rented out yet.
But they just won't rent it to them.
Su Jiaoniang paused, then looked at the little girl: "No rush!"
"If the business fails, come back and inherit the family business!" Su Jiaoniang said, then laughed. What family business did she have? Just a small pancake stall.
The little girl nodded.
"Mother, I miss Mr. Gu. Do you miss him?" the little girl suddenly asked.
Su Jiaoniang was stunned for a moment. Did she miss Gu Xizhou?
It does feel a bit empty at home with two fewer people, and sometimes it takes some getting used to. But life is full of joys and sorrows, and all good things must come to an end. This kind of separation is a normal part of life.
If you can't refuse, you can only adapt.
“If Xiaoya misses Mr. Gu, she can write him a letter, and I’ll have someone deliver it to her!” Su Jiaoniang said.
This is probably all she can do for her child.
The little girl's eyes lit up, and she walked towards the study.
Fu Tu's gaze fell on Su Jiaoniang. He hesitated for a moment, but finally couldn't help but say, "Mother, some people in the village are saying that you've taken a liking to Gu Lin and want to marry him!"
"..." Why would she be so despondent?
"Don't listen to their nonsense, Mother doesn't have time to think about that!" We need to go to the county town to see the little shop that Wang the carpenter set up.
We need to harvest the persimmons before autumn is over.
Let alone not having time, even if I had time, I wouldn't want to think about it.
Su Jiaoniang was very firm in her beliefs!
Her thoughts are worlds apart from this era, and she has almost no one who matches her in spirit. So why should she lower herself to accommodate this world, and why should she compromise for a lifetime?
For example, will anyone really support and understand her in this persimmon acquisition?
The village chief would offer a few words of comfort upon hearing this, and Fu Tu let out a sigh of relief; he certainly didn't want to call the hunter Gu "father."
Aside from his biological father, only Jun Chaoyang could earn his respect and the willingness to call him "father," or perhaps the perverted Rong Zhen.
Looking at the persimmons in the yard, Su Jiaoniang felt a chill run down her spine. She couldn't possibly finish them all; she would need to find someone to help. Peeling persimmons was different from picking them; it involved holding a knife. Her father should find a few gentle-tempered and meticulous people.
Su Jiaoniang, who knew little about the villagers, walked toward Zhang the blacksmith's house.
Chiang Kai-shek was meticulous, and anyone who could be his friend would also be meticulous.
Upon arriving at Zhang the blacksmith's house, Su Jiaoniang immediately saw Zhang Sanzhu bustling about in the courtyard.
The moment Zhang Sanzhu saw Su Jiaoniang, his eyes lit up, but the gleam slowly faded.
After exchanging a few words with Su Jiaoniang, he headed towards his room.
It's clear that there are still some things I haven't let go of.
When Jiang saw Su Jiaoniang, she walked out of the kitchen with a smile. The third son was stubborn, but it didn't matter. Who didn't have a little beauty they cherished when they were young?
Back when she wasn't married to the blacksmith in her family, she had a crush on the fair-skinned scholar in the same village. However, she wasn't fair-skinned enough, so the scholar didn't take a liking to her, and she eventually married the muscular blacksmith.
But as time passed, the girl who married the scholar was worn down by the years and life.
On the other hand, thanks to the blacksmith's skills, she was well-fed and comfortable.
Life is life, and feelings are feelings.
If the third child can't let go, then don't let go; just keep it in your heart.
Decades later, when he looks back, he will be glad that he is not with the Su family now.
Having spent time with her, she had come to understand that someone like Su was destined for great things and would undoubtedly enjoy wealth and status in the future.
Their third child is just an ordinary person. The two are at different levels and the gap between them is too big. Even if they lived together, they would not be happy.
He chatted with Su Jiaoniang for a while and heard that Su Jiaoniang was looking for help, and that it would be paid.
She immediately thought of her sisters-in-law and brothers-in-law from her maternal family.
When it comes to making money, the first people that come to mind are naturally one's own family.
Su Jiaoniang didn't mind and instructed, "There are no other requirements, just wash your hands thoroughly before each task, and be careful with the persimmon peels too!"
"No problem, no problem, I'll keep an eye on them!"
Chiang Kai-shek immediately took over the project.
Early the next morning.
Jiang brought people to help, and Xiao Ya followed Gouhua back to the county town. Neither of them were people who gave up easily. Even if things were difficult, even if there were challenges, they would still look for opportunities little by little.
Su Jiaoniang slung her basket over her shoulder and prepared to head to the county town.
As soon as I opened the door, I saw Zhao Han standing outside!
