Chapter 77 Cash cow
No, it must be more than twenty or thirty taels. What I took out here is twenty or thirty taels!
According to Zhang's strong character and doting on older women, she might even want to hide half of it from her.
Mrs. Yuan said repeatedly, "That is to say, your old Xu family loves their daughters too much. In the eyes of your mother, you sons are not as important as the girls who lose money. Which family has an unmarried daughter who has made money?"
Not being included in the public account? This is simply unheard of, tsk tsk tsk..."
This tone was full of disapproval and sourness.
She doesn't agree with having a p, and she can't be the home of Lao Xu's family.
The money and things Xu Laoer brought this time, plus what he brought back last time, were barely enough for five taels.
Yuan Xiaohai's marriage can barely be settled.
If Mrs. Yuan came in person, Mrs. Yuan would naturally scold her, but Xu Laoer is the son-in-law, and the son-in-law's face is not easy to deal with. After all, he is not his own child. He has his own parents to honor, so she
What kind of onion is Mrs. Yuan?
Moreover, a good son-in-law like Xu Laoer is a cash cow in the eyes of Mrs. Yuan and others.
Shake it today and money will fall out.
Tomorrow, when the tree is fertile, shake it again and money will still fall out.
Can't be offended.
He didn't even mention money. He took Xu Laoer and told him what he liked to hear, and let him eat.
As long as money is not mentioned, Xu Laoer's pressure and resentment will be much less.
During the meal, Father Yuan also asked Yuan Xiaohai to go to town and buy two ounces of soju and come back. Father Yuan and Xu Laoer would accompany him to drink.
Xu Laoer didn't want to drink, so he couldn't miss anything. He took advantage of Xu Zhang's break to catch Piggy and brought the stuff over.
It would be best to pick up some wild goods to take home on the way back, so that Mrs. Xu Zhang won't find out that he has been to Lao Yuan's house.
Pretend that you are going hunting in the mountains today.
However, Father Yuan was unwilling to let go when he saw that drinking was life-threatening.
Father Yuan has been a enjoying person all his life, smoking and drinking, and doing everything.
If you don’t have money to buy cigarettes, you can just go out and pick the leaves yourself. You don’t have to spend money to bask in the sun. When they are dry, cut them up, wrap them up, light them up and smoke them.
I don’t have money to buy wine... I can’t make wine myself, and I don’t have money to invest in brewing. I just hope that there will be some guests at home, and I will come up with some ideas to buy some wine.
If Xu Lao Er doesn't drink, it won't look good if he drinks it himself, so he has to make Xu Lao Er drink.
He was the elder in terms of generation, so he was the father-in-law anyway, so Xu Laoer couldn't resist, so he had a drink.
Shaodaozi wine is very strong.
Even if Xu Laoer had the opportunity to drink at home, he didn't drink much. Once he drank, he would get a little drunk.
Mrs. Yuan warmly allowed her second son to take a nap at home. This is the God of Wealth. He can make four or five taels of silver at once. It's easy and smooth. He doesn't have to pawn money from a pawnbroker and won't beat or scold his wife.
The child took it out willingly, which shows his strength.
No matter what, I have to hold on.
The eldest grandson's marriage is over, and there are still a second grandson and a third grandson in the future.
So, when Xu Laoer woke up, it was almost dark.
Luozigou is in the mountains, separated by two mountains from Xujiacun, but it takes half a day to walk.
Mrs. Xu Zhang must have caught Piggy and returned home. He didn't have time to go to the mountains to catch some game today.
Xu Laoer hurried home in a hurry. In order to get home quickly, he even took a shortcut.
***
Sometime in the afternoon.
Mrs. Xu Zhang bought a black native pig with colorful skin and carried it in a big basket. The little piglet, which was just one month old, was humming in the basket.
As soon as I brought it home, I was surrounded by the little beans, watching the fun with joy.
Mrs. Xu Zhang pushed them away, "Go, go, what's there to see? Has the pig pen been cleared out? Has the pig grass been cut back?"
"It's all done, tits~"
Mrs. Xu Zhang put the little piglet into the pig pen in the backyard. The pig pen was also newly built. The shed above the head had a grass roof, and below was a half-person-high fence made of earth and rocks. It was made of wooden blocks.
Door for easy entry and exit.
The pig trough is hollowed out from a single piece of stone. Although this thing looks like a labor-intensive and completely handicraft, it is not worth much. It is placed next to the gate for feeding the pigs.
Two full baskets of pigweed have been placed at the door, green, tender and juicy.
As soon as it was put in, the little piggy started to moan and groan, but did not eat. His little eyes looked at everyone from time to time.
Having just left my mother, I seem to be a little overwhelmed and scared.
The whole family of Lao Xu's family came to watch, standing outside the pig pen and looking at the piglet happily.
Shiro fed the little piggy some tender grass. The little piggy was afraid of animals and did not dare to come over to eat. He only hid in the corner and barked.
Xu Jiaojiao was making loquat wine in the cellar when she heard the noise outside and ran out to see the little piggy.
The neighbors of the three houses next door also heard the piglet's cry and came over to watch the excitement.
There were many envious comments.
"This little pig looks energetic, healthy and energetic. He is a good cub!"
"No, Mrs. Xu has a good sense. This type of pig is a good breed, and the meat is tender and delicious. I'm afraid this little piglet will cost several hundred yuan!"
"I just happened to raise them to eat during the Chinese New Year. I'm so envious. This season of the year is the best time to buy piglets. If you feed piglets for a long time, they will get old and the meat will not be fresh and tender. If you feed them for a short time, they will not grow big.
I feel bad after eating it, but now is the best time. Unfortunately, our family has no money, otherwise, we would have bought a little piglet..."
"Your family is so poor that you can't even feed the people, yet you still want to raise pigs!"
"Isn't that true? There is no eldest daughter in the family who is as capable as Jiaojiao..."
Mrs. Xu Zhang was originally planning to chase people away because there were so many idle people, and was afraid of scaring the little piggy. But when she heard such indirect praise of her daughter, she made the neighbors look at her for a while.
Everyone started to look at Piggy, and then everyone gathered around Xu Jiaojiao and started talking enthusiastically.
Everyone wants to get close to her.
This year’s loquat paste season is over, and there is still one for next year.
An income of several hundred yuan a season depends on Xu Jiaojiao's loquat ointment.
This year is the rainy season, and the previous few days have been wasted. Otherwise, it is not impossible for the whole family to earn one or two taels of silver from Xu Jiaojiao.
In the past, the most they treated Xu Jiaojiao was to take care of Xu Zhang's face.
Seeing Xu Jiaojiao now is like seeing the God of Wealth, fawning over her in all kinds of ways.
"Hey, Xu family girl, your new clothes look really good. Have you lost weight recently? Why do you look so handsome in your new clothes?"
"No, she's so pretty. I've never seen such a pretty girl. She seems to be a little thinner. She must be tired from making loquat ointment! How pitiful."
"It's better to rest more. We, Xiaodie, had the best time with you in the past. If you have any work in the future, just tell her, but don't do everything by yourself. I'm exhausted. I heard
