When Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Xiao went to Xiao Yi's house aggressively, Xiao Yi's house was busy.
A dozen men were laying tiles on the roof of the wing, and there were more than twenty women, wives, and children gathered around to pick chickens, ducks, and geese seedlings. Qu Xiaodie helped collect money, food, or record work. , Xiao Yi couldn't stand Xiao Jinyu's grinding, and was accompanying Xiao Jinyu around the big box to watch people buying chicks.
Of course, Xiao Haitang also joined in the fun. When someone picked one out, she frowned and soon urged Xie Yushu not to sell it. She couldn't bear it!
Xiao Jinyu also pointed with her little fat finger
"This is so cute, I like it so much, this is so cute too!"
A look of reluctance.
News spread quickly in the village. Most people came over early in the morning as soon as they heard that Xie Yushu had bought a lot of chickens for sale.
It took a long time, and most of them were bought or exchanged, and most of them were picked up. Xie Yushu had no intention of making money with these chickens and ducks. She bought them with three or four copper coins, plus the millet she fed on the road. When I get back, I'll add a copper plate and sell it.
Chickens were sold for four coppers each, ducks for five coppers, and gooses for six. Before morning, there were more than fifty chickens left out of the three hundred. One hundred ducks had been sold out. There are twenty-five young geese left.
Those who are willing to spend money to buy it, or exchange it with grain, are those who followed them into the mountains in the first place. They still have two taels of silver left in their hands. They have just experienced two years of high prices and have eaten grain for two taels of silver per catty. , now chickens and ducks are worth three to five coppers each, which is really not expensive!
Moreover, farmers can’t afford meat. The most basic supplements are chickens, ducks and goose besides various eggs. When the work is tired, they eat some eggs. Unless there is a child in the family or an important person is sick, they are not willing to kill a chicken to eat!
If you raise more chickens, you can save some money by laying eggs to supplement your family income!
These chickens, ducks and geese are essential items for farmers!
Therefore, this batch of seedlings from Xie Yushu is really popular, and almost all of them were sold out in no time!
Hearing Xiao Haitang and Xiao Jinyu crying anxiously, Xie Yushu came over to take a look. Seeing that there were not many chickens and geese left, she hurriedly said
"Okay, ladies and gentlemen, we won't sell these anymore. We have some at home, and we have to send a few to my parents, and a few to my parents-in-law. We keep these for ourselves. !”
There were a few others who didn't catch up, which was a pity, so I had to give it up!
Widow Liu was originally cooking, and she also wanted to keep a few chickens. She couldn't afford to feed more, so five or six were fine. Now let them out and let them eat bugs on their own. If they gave them some rice bran in the winter, they would be able to lay eggs next spring. Got it!
She originally wanted to go to work at night and ask Xiao Yi for a few when no one was around. Unexpectedly, they had all been snatched up before the day workers arrived. She suddenly became anxious, stuffed a handful of firewood and ran over.
"Girl Xie, please give me a few. I originally thought of catching them at night, but I didn't expect them to be separated so quickly!"
Hearing this, Xie Yushu looked at the chicken and said,
"If you hadn't told me earlier, we wouldn't have enough at home!"
Widow Liu said hurriedly,
"I told Brother Xiao, maybe he didn't pay attention!"
Xiao Yi was stunned for a moment. He didn't hear what Widow Liu said to him, but Widow Liu said directly that he might not have paid attention, so he couldn't refute even if he wanted to, so he kept silent.
Seeing that he was silent, Xie Yushu thought that he had agreed to Widow Liu, so she said
"Then I'll give you four chickens! Will you give me the money now or will it be deducted from your salary at the end of the month?"
She didn't want to choose either one, but Xie Yushu asked clearly. She was too embarrassed to say that she wanted to take it for free, so she said
"Then let's deduct it from wages first!"
After saying that, she quickly caught four chickens and let her daughter take them home.
I thought about telling Xiao Yi later, if she wins Xiao Yi, what money will she give her! Xie Yushu went to stay in the capital to see what she wanted!
There are fifty-two chickens left! Xie Yushu asked Xiao Haitang and Xiao Jinyu to pick ten chickens and five geese to keep, and then she picked out twenty chickens and eight geese and put them in a small basket, and asked Xiao Haitang and Hu Mei to carry them to Xie Baotian. !
There are twenty-one chickens and twelve geese left, and Xie Yushu plans to share them equally with Old Man Xiao, Xiao Dayong's family, and Xiao Yuanhang's family. No matter how much she hates Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Xiao, she doesn't want to share it with Xie Yujiao and Xiao Yuanhang in person. Leave something to say, because these few copper coins are not worth it!
After Xie Yushu had finished dividing the chickens, she asked Xiao Yi to send them over. It happened that the person who bought the chickens hadn't left yet, and the village chief's wife was also there, so everyone could bear witness!
Sure enough, after thanking Yushu for sharing, everyone spoke up and thanked Yushu for her kindness and filial piety.
The village chief’s wife even specially praised Xie Yushu,
"This kid is kind!"
Others who knew the inside story, especially those who had seen Mrs. Xiao searching Xiao Yi like a bandit, even said that Xie Yushu was a wife who was hard to find even with a lantern, she was filial and capable!
So, take a look! Sometimes it doesn't do things against its will in vain! Once you do everything you need to do, the truth will prevail!
However, before Xiao Yi could carry the basket out of the door, Old Man Xiao and his party blocked him back!
Old man Xiao made a face and spoke with a look of bitterness and hatred.
"I heard that you bought a donkey and a cart? And hired people to wait on you?"
Xiao Yi pushed Xiao Jinyu behind him and said
"I didn't buy the donkey, the cart, and other things. I have no money!"
The perfect straight man suddenly choked old man Xiao and made him fall backwards.
Mrs. Xiao angrily stepped forward and gave Xiao Yi a big-eared melon seed.
"You bastard! That's how you talk to your father!
Whether you bought anything or not, whoever bought it was from this family, and everything she bought had to have the surname Xiao! "
While scolding, he glared at Xie Yushu. Xie Yujiao and Xiao Yan also looked at Xie Yushu provocatively.
Xie Yushu took out her ears and thought to herself, bad luck!
But he didn’t rush to speak! Instead, he gave Qu Xiaodie a wink!
After all, Mrs. Xiao hadn't pointed at her nose yet, so she didn't bother to scold her!
Sure enough, there was no need for her to speak. The village chief’s wife scolded her
"Mrs. Xiao, what's the matter with you?
You two have just brought some chickens and geese to you. What are you doing? Making faces for each one, then hitting and scolding them when they come? Are there any parents like you? "
"Does he have such a good intention? He is a black-hearted thing. Now that he is rich, he enjoys his happiness secretly! He has long forgotten his parents behind the second door!"
Mrs. Xiao shouted arrogantly
The angry village chief’s wife’s eyes were on fire
"You are so unreasonable!
Take a look, it's already been divided, one for you, one for everyone, and one for the fourth family! There are four geese and seven chickens in the family.
The child is thinking of you well, but you are better off scolding him when he opens his mouth and hitting him when he reaches out his hand!
Ten fingers are of different lengths, but you two don’t go too far! "
Xiao Yi handed the basket to Xiao Dayong
"Take it, one for your parents, one for you, and one for your fourth brother!"
Xiao Dayong took it
"You have a heart!"
Mrs. Xiao angrily pointed at Xiao Dayong and scolded him
"If you have any bad intentions, I'll just send these bastards to you with their worthless looks!"
