Early the next morning, Xie Jiaojiao got up, carried crabs in her basket as usual, and got on a bullock cart to go to town to deliver the goods to Qingfeng Tower.
Shopkeeper Chen had been waiting for her in the restaurant early in the morning. He saw her from afar and immediately came out to greet her: "Miss Xie, you are finally here. Do you have enough for today?"
"Shopkeeper Chen, this is a crab, don't stop screaming like a reptile! Otherwise, how can your guest eat it?" Xie Jiaojiao said with a smile.
Shopkeeper Chen patted his mouth. He was corrected yesterday and he didn't pay attention.
Xie Jiaojiao said as she opened her basket and half carried mountain crabs.
Shopkeeper Chen’s eyes were filled with laughter. This was all money! After a few steps on the scale, Xie Jiaojiao left with a bunch of copper coins.
On the road, I almost ran into Jiang Weinan and his group again. Seeing that the place they came out of was a gambling house, I didn't say hello and walked past the three of them as if I didn't see them.
It was He Hu who stopped her.
"Hey, Xie Jiaojiao!"
Xie Jiaojiao was carrying a backpack and pretended not to hear it!
He Hu rushed over and Jiang Weinan didn't even have time to catch him.
"Hey, Xie Jiaojiao, you're in town so early in the morning! What good things did you sell today?"
"none of your business?"
"you……"
"Me what?"
He Hu was speechless by her.
Jiang Weinan walked up at this time and looked at Xie Jiaojiao, then the two of them looked away.
He Hu pulled Jiang Weinan and said: "Weinan, break off the engagement with this stinky girl! Let her become an old girl! You can't get married!"
Xie Jiaojiao sneered: "I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you. Our marriage has been decided on a good day! Remember to come and have a wedding drink when the time comes!"
After Xie Jiaojiao finished speaking, she left a few stunned men standing there and left.
After Xie Jiaojiao had gone away, He Hu came back to his senses and looked at Jiang Weinan in disbelief: "Are you really going to marry Xie Jiaojiao?"
Jiang Weinan glanced at him, thinking about what Xie Jiaojiao had just said, and felt a little happy unconsciously.
"Didn't you ask me to marry her back and torture her again?"
Damn it!
He Hu grabbed Jiang Weinan's shoulders: "Tell me, are you really interested in that girl?"
Jiang Weinan rolled his eyes.
Zhang Fei next to him said: "If you don't care, can he marry her?"
Jiang Weinan pretended to yawn: "Okay, I've been busy all night. I'm going back to rest, so I won't accompany you."
After saying that, he parted ways with the two of them and turned around to leave. But when he walked through an alley, he looked back and saw that the two of them had also gone back. He immediately ran back to chase Xie Jiaojiao.
Seeing that it was still early, Xie Jiaojiao bought a pound of meat at the entrance of the town and walked home with a basket on her back. If she had to wait for Uncle Li's oxcart, she might have to wait until noon.
Walking alone on the road is warmer than sitting in a bullock cart.
Suddenly she heard someone calling her from behind, and Xie Jiaojiao turned around. Wasn't it her enemy and fiancé Jiang Weinan?
Xie Jiaojiao stood still, waiting for him to come forward.
Jiang Weinan walked up to Xie Jiaojiao and gasped slightly: "Why are you walking so fast?"
Xie Jiaojiao didn't answer his question, but asked, "What's the matter with you?"
Jiang Weinan hesitated for a moment, then took out a box from his arms and gave it to her: "Since our marriage is finalized, this is for you!"
As soon as Xie Jiaojiao took it, Jiang Weinan turned around and ran away.
"Eh……"
Before she said a word, Jiang Weinan had already run away.
Xie Jiaojiao opened the box, and inside was a lock made of jade.
It looks very valuable.
Xie Jiaojiao frowned and glanced at Jiang Weinan's disappearing figure, thinking that she must return such a valuable thing to him next time they meet.
When I got home, I started to get busy again. There is always endless work to do at home.
A few days later, Sun Ruhua looked at the dried brown sugar and asked Xie Jiaojiao: "Are these brown sugar still sold to shopkeeper Chen?"
"Just sell it to him. It won't be much this time, only a few dozen kilograms. Then we will keep some for ourselves to eat during the New Year."
Sun Ruhua agreed.
Tian Hu worked for ten days this time and earned more than one yuan. He was very happy. With this money, he and his grandma can have a good year this year!
Moreover, he has been catching reptiles every day these days, which is another income. When he saves enough money, he will leave it to grandma to buy some cotton wool to cover it, so that it will not be cold at night!
Many families in the village later heard about Xie Jiaojiao's home collecting reptiles, so they caught some and came to ask if Xie Jiaojiao's family would collect them.
Xie Jiaojiao refused directly. Qingfeng Tower only needs one bucket a day. Xie Zhiyi, Niu Er and Tian Hu caught it. If many people don't want it, she can't have it!
Those who came to ask were a little disappointed, thinking that it would be great if they had a good relationship with Xie Jiaojiao before. Everyone knew in their hearts that Xie Jiaojiao accepted, but she only accepted those from the Niu family and Tianhu. The Niu family has a good relationship with their family, but Tian Hu has such difficulties in the village, so they thought about it and let it go!
But they can forget it, but Xie Zhili can’t forget it!
Especially last time the second child in the family fell ill, which emptied the family's money!
In the past, a large family lived together. Xie Zhili felt that except when his father was sick, there was never a time when there was no money. But now that he is the master of the family, the family is in trouble every day and there is no money!
Zhou Cuihong was also unhappy: "Master, go and tell her family to accept the reptiles we caught! The reptiles cost a few copper coins per pound, which is much more than what you make up!"
"Then you have to make her willing to accept it! Have you forgotten that I was beaten by my mother half a month ago?"
Zhou Cuihong rolled her eyes angrily: "Let me tell you, your mother is partial! Our family is so miserable, and she doesn't help! How can there be such a cruel mother in the world!"
Her words also touched Xie Zhili's heart. Isn't his mother just partial?
Life was so easy over there now, and she didn't even think about his son at all!
The youngest son in Zhou Cuihong's arms started crying again at this time, sounding very upset.
Zhou Cuihong looked at Xie Zhili and suddenly had a plan in mind: "Master, come here..."
After hearing what she said, Xie Zhili looked at Zhou Cuihong and frowned and said, "Is this really feasible?"
"What's wrong! As long as my mother stays in our house, we will let Xie Jiaojiao get the mother-in-law's money every month from now on, which will be enough for our family to live on!"
After the two discussed it, the Xie family started to quarrel that night. Xie Zhili shouted that he wanted to divorce Zhou Cuihong, saying that it was because of marrying such a woman that his family was in such bad shape! My mother doesn’t recognize him now…
Zhou Cuihong’s cry could be heard by the neighbors nearby!
I heard that Zhou Cuihong took Xie Kun away in the middle of the night!
