Yan Jiao still didn't know what was going on. When she heard this, she said, "Will it take a long time? Grandma Li, which house do you live in?"
"I don't know how long it will take. I haven't heard any news yet."
With that said, she took Yan Jiao directly to the room in the east wing closest to the kitchen.
After Yan Jiao put the baggage away, she asked again: "What are your plans next?"
"I don't know either!"
The old lady looked at her and said earnestly: "Your situation is somewhat similar to Yuan Niang's, but it is different. You are still young and have no children, so it is easy to find another family. But you are here now, which is equivalent to If you marry far away and don’t have any relatives around you, you have to think about your future.”
As she spoke, perhaps thinking of Li Yuan before, she sighed, took the back of Yan Jiao's hand, and patted it gently.
"When a woman gets married, she is reincarnated for the second time. You have to keep your eyes peeled to find her. Look at Yuan Niang, she almost risked her life before. That kid Gao Wu is often with Jun Zi, and there seems to be nothing wrong with him, but I heard that he is always confused in front of his family. This has been the case for the past two years, every year. Being his wife will be very hard. It doesn't matter if you separate from him, it is better than being angry for the rest of your life. Look at Yuan Mom, after the divorce, even if you have two children, won’t you be fine now?”
As the old lady spoke, she comforted her: "You are younger than Yuan Niang and have not given birth to children yet, so it is easier to find someone. I look at your features. You haven't consummated your marriage yet?"
Yan Jiao had heard that some old people had sharp eyes and could tell at a glance whether they were girls or not.
When she heard this, she lowered her head and said "hmm".
Mrs. Wang didn't know whether she should be happy for her or feel sorry for her.
After a while, he said: "The past is over. People should look forward. Maybe this time is the twists and turns in your life that you are destined to have. Anyway, you have already married someone. Even if you divorce or divorce someone, it does not violate the law." From now on, we will keep our eyes open and look for someone who is honest and reliable. We have the hands and feet, and we don’t want him to be rich and powerful, we just want him to be reliable."
Yan Jiao knew that the old lady was doing it for her own good. When she heard that, she thought of Chen Wu's panicked eyes, the smelly room, and his various behaviors after she left, and her eyes instantly turned red.
She had desperately told herself before that he had no choice but to do so. That smell is not necessarily the kind of smell that makes people happy.
However, she still has to face reality after all!
Even if I forgive him this time, I am still willing to go back and live with him.
But she felt that she would never forget this incident, and every time she thought about it in the future, she would feel like it was stuck in her throat.
This incident will become a thorn in her heart, and it will hurt whenever she thinks about it!
What's more, that girl has already come here, and his attitude is...
Seeing her tears falling more and more urgently, the old lady wiped her eyes with her sleeve.
"Don't cry, you should be happy. It's better to leave now than to spend the rest of your life by then. Have you eaten? Let's go, I'll make you something to eat. Eat to your heart's content and put all this behind you. What we should think about now is how to stand up without relying on men."
Yan Jiao was led to the kitchen by Mrs. Wang. She didn't stop crying until the old lady started cooking for her.
"Grandma Li, I will do well and be better than before!"
When Mrs. Wang saw this, she smiled and said: "That's right! I know you are interested in that boy from the Chen family. It is impossible for you not to be sad for a while now. You don't need to hide it in front of me. , just tell me if you feel sad. I am old and I have a way of persuading people."
When Yan Jiao heard this, she burst into tears and laughed.
The old lady added: "If you keep yourself busy, you won't have so much to think about. Girl of the Yan family, you are not looking for a job in this city now, are you? If you don't go back to Liuyun County, you won't be able to sit back and have nothing to do. , do you think we can work together to make some food and sell it? I think Yuan Niang can make money very quickly."
Mrs. Wang didn't know whether the business was good or not. She only knew that Li Yuan's stall was doing very well.
A few years ago, even though I only worked for less than two months, I heard that I made a lot of money.
On the sixteenth day, when she went to the county town to take a carriage, she saw stalls and there were people everywhere.
Therefore, she thought that if she wanted to make money, it would be better to make food and sell it.
Yan Jiao also had limited money on hand, and after leaving Chen Wu, she didn't feel so at ease after all.
Hearing what Mrs. Wang said, she also wanted to divert her attention, so she asked: "Grandma Li, what kind of food do you want to sell? Should we rent a shop to make it, or set up a stall like Sister Yuan?"
Mrs. Wang shook her head: "None of them! Whether it is setting up a stall or renting a shop, not to mention the time consumption, it will also cost a lot of money up front. I thought about making some cakes by myself and carrying them in a basket and shouting them along the streets. I will go out today. When I was there, I asked around. Mixed flour pancakes here cost one penny a piece, white flour steamed buns cost two and three cents each, and meat buns cost three cents each. Speaking of which, the price is much more expensive than in Liuyun County. Things like those sold at Yuan Niang’s stall Such a big bowl of somen noodles can fit two bowls here. Just this, a bowl costs five cents."
As the old lady spoke, she suddenly remembered the rice balls that Li Yuan handed her when she left on the 16th, and immediately changed her mind: "In this way, we will sell the rice balls directly. Yuan Niang is in Liuyun County, and a vegetarian rice ball sells for two cents, so we Here, you can sell it for three to four cents. But the rice, firewood, and vegetables all cost money, and I don’t know if I can sell them.”
The old lady muttered, and felt that selling rice balls seemed to be quite troublesome, so she immediately looked at Yan Jiao with a sigh.
"Girl of the Yan family, what do you think we can sell better?"
If the business fails, then she will have to do laundry for others!
It's just that she's so old, and no one is probably willing to wash her clothes.
"How about pancakes? I'll bake some pancakes tomorrow morning and I'll take them out to sell. If the business is not good, we won't do it. Grandma Li, just grow some vegetables at home and raise a few chickens. As for me, You are young and have both hands and feet, so it should be easier to find a job. This is Fucheng, and the wages are higher than in Liuyun County."
You won’t starve yourself to death after all!
Mrs. Wang sighed quietly when she thought that before she came here, Li Yuan told her that she could use the house as she wanted, even if she wanted to grow vegetables.
"It can only be the!"
If the business doesn't do well, she will grow vegetables and raise chickens.
As for the eldest, he is less than fifty and has some carpentry skills. Come to think of it, it's not difficult to find a job and make a living!

Outside the capital city gate, among the carriages waiting in line to check the way into the city, Su Mingshan looked at Qingmei, who looked sick, with worries in her eyes.
"Aunt Qing, if you bear with me a little longer, you can enter the city soon."
Qingmei's eyes were originally closed, but when she heard the word "going to the city", she tried her best to open her eyelids, which were as heavy as a thousand pounds, and said feebly: "Are you going to the city?"
"right!"
