Mrs. Qian's eyes suddenly lit up: "Okay, then this matter is settled."

But what Li didn't expect was that the man Mrs. Qian called had only been at their house for a few days, and actually planned to pick the tofu himself and sell it.

It turned out that when he was delivering tofu to Granny Qian’s house early every morning, he would meet people on the road, and they would ask him: “What are you doing? The autumn harvest is over, why are you still busy?”

"No, I'm sending you tofu."

"Tofu?" The man asked him puzzledly, what is tofu.

If it was time to rest, he would naturally stop and chat with the other party for a while. During this time, someone heard that such a big piece of tofu could be exchanged for an egg, and they began to be excited: "Really, an egg can exchange for such a big piece of tofu?"

One piece? Then you might as well give me one piece instead."

He was a gift of tofu, how could he change it?

If this was to be replaced, wouldn't the sixteen coppers Mrs. Qian gave him every month be gone?

Just one person asked this, two people asked this, and more people asked. When he went home and chatted with his mother-in-law, she scolded him: "You are stupid. If others are willing to change, why don't you change? A piece of tofu can do it."

If you want to exchange for one egg, think about it, how many eggs can be exchanged for one load?"

"But... Mrs. Qian decided that. If I help pick it out, I can still earn sixteen copper coins a month."

"Then if you replace it with eggs, how many eggs can a plate of tofu be replaced with? Can you count?"

The man remained silent, but he had to admit that his mother-in-law was right.

His mother-in-law gave him an idea: "That's good. The autumn harvest is over now, and there's not much work for you at home. You can just send Mrs. Qian's tofu back and pick up another load to sell."

So, this man started his career selling tofu.

Li didn't expect it to work like this at all, and was pleasantly surprised.

After taking over this business, I quickly discussed it with my sister-in-law at home and decided to make two more plates of tofu every day.

Zhu Bamei was very busy, and the wives of the Zhu family were also very busy. Even Zhu San, Zhu Si, and Zhu Wu often carried fishing nets everywhere. Even when the farming was slack, they almost never brought empty ones.

Only Old Man Zhu took Zhu Da and Zhu Er with him. After helping Zhu Laoshan and Zhu Laosi with the autumn harvest, they returned home and suddenly found that the three of them had become "idle people".

Looking at the other people at home who were busy and had no time to pay attention to him, Old Man Zhu said: "..."

As the main labor force in the family, it is actually quite uncomfortable to be suddenly "thrown" here.

Even Zhu Da and Zhu Er felt a little uncomfortable.

Usually when they go out, others will only praise them for being honest and capable, unlike their younger brothers who just know how to be lazy all day long.

But now, many people ask them: "How many fish did your third brother catch today?"

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Your family has been busy lately. Did you make a lot of money?"

"I smell your family frying food again. How much oil does it cost? Your family is so rich, my family can't even afford oil."

"Hey, why don't you two go back to help? I see that your brothers are quite busy, why do you two..."

…

What happened to the two of them? After the two of them were busy with the autumn harvest, there was nothing left for them to do.

Zhu Da and Zhu Er felt aggrieved and felt a little uncomfortable.

When they went to bed at night, they found that their mother-in-law did not "serve" them as before. After cleaning up, they quickly went to bed.

Wait, don’t they usually go to bed first?

As for when their mother-in-law went to bed, Zhu Da and Zhu Er didn't know. They only knew that every time their mother-in-law had not gone to bed before they went to bed, she would have gotten up long after they woke up.

The two of them were in a bad mood, but they couldn't talk about it. They would just sit under the wall unhappily, looking at this and that.

Forget it, they didn't do particularly well in their mother's "literacy program."

There are only five words every day. They get up in the morning and teach them during breakfast. Let them learn from each other while working, and then take the test again during dinner.

Whoever writes the fastest will get one point, and the person with the most points will get an extra egg.

Although the fool Zhu Qi was excluded, Zhu Da and Zhu Er said: They can write one, two, and three, but it will be difficult to write the following five, six, and seven, not to mention that their mother also said: "This is

The simplest and most basic writing methods are one, two, three, four and five. There are also more difficult writing methods such as one, two, three, four and five. However, these writing methods are too difficult, too difficult for you now.

, let’s start with something simple.”

Zhu Da, Zhu Er: "..."

No, they don't find it simple at all.

Zhu Er didn't understand at all. One was one horizontal line, two was two horizontal lines, and three was three horizontal lines. Why didn't he continue to draw horizontal lines at the end?

He complained to Zhu Da: "Brother, why do you think this word is so difficult to learn? Can't you just keep drawing horizontal lines? Why does it have to be so complicated? Isn't this a torment for people?"

Zhu Da didn't say anything because he didn't understand the difference between the paintings.

"Mom, it's the same. None of us are good at studying. Why bother with this? We won't go out in the future. Anyway, we must be farming for the rest of our lives." Zhu Er muttered.

Zhu Da raised his head and looked at the fishing nets being dried in the yard, and then at the dried fish being dried in the shade on the other side.

"Brother, I'm talking to you, why don't you say anything?"

Zhu Da was a little distracted and said, "Tell me, Lao San and the others have caught so many fish, have they made enough money to sell them?"

"What? Brother, I'm telling you about literacy. Why are you talking to me about fish? How do I know? I didn't sell this fish. Didn't you see what my mother said? This is a woman's money. We

Men can’t get involved.”

Zhu Da glanced at Zhu Er and felt that the second brother was a bit stupid. Regardless of whether it was money or not, he had to be rich first.

Last night, he saw his mother-in-law secretly hiding the money bag. His mother-in-law helped make tofu and pick fruits, so she must have made a lot of money.

"What's wrong? Why do you look at me like this?" Zhu Er was puzzled.

"Did your mother-in-law hide money behind your back?"

"Ah, how do I know this? It's not like you don't know that my wife can't beat her with a stick. I don't want to talk to her at all."

"Your mother-in-law helps make tofu and dry fish every day. Do you think they will not divide her money?" Zhu Da said, "You don't even care, what if your mother-in-law takes the money back to her parents' house? You forgot,

Last time your mother-in-law stole the sweet potatoes from home, you found out."

"Brother, please keep your voice down, don't let mother hear you." Zhu Er quickly glanced around, "Although this mother-in-law is a bit unpleasant, I don't want to be like the third child. Even the mother-in-law is gone, that's what it's like

It’s really tragic. I don’t know what my mother was thinking. The third child finally deceived a woman from a well-off family into becoming a mother-in-law, and even divorced her."
