"Look at what is being eaten here and what the children are wearing. As a wife and a mother, don't you feel a little bit guilty? How dare you accuse others of spending money lavishly?"
"Starting from tomorrow, don't sit idle at home. Go out and find a job. This will prevent you from being idle all day long and just gossiping behind your back!"
Since Mr. Niu said it in front of him, he would definitely say it in front of others.
There are many people living in this alley, including the family members of the academy. If the news reaches the ears of others, they will probably laugh to death.
He joked that his family lived in poverty, and behind his back he said that others were spending money lavishly. In fact, it was because other people's families were rich, so he was just jealous.
If this is the case, then his face was really humiliated by Niu!
Niu was a little confused by Zhang Yaosheng's roar. After a moment, she came to her senses and asked timidly, "If I go out to work, wouldn't I embarrass my husband?"
After all, she is a talented lady, and she will be a wife in the future. If she works in public, she will definitely be looked down upon.
Especially those who get together to chat and talk on weekdays.
Maybe those talkative women not only looked at her with disdain, but also spat behind her back and even said that she was a talented lady. So what, why don't you just go out and make a living like them?
Mr. Niu couldn't bear to be talked about like this.
What's more, she begged hard to come to live in the county town. She originally wanted to feel proud and superior to others. If now she is worse than doing farm work at home, then what is she trying to do?
"You eat chaffy vegetables all day long and make your children look bad in shabby clothes? If others don't do the same, do they say you don't have any ability?" Zhang Yaosheng felt that Niu was really stupid, so he became even more annoyed, "If you don't want to be People are talking about it, isn’t it just a matter of finding a more decent job, or carrying someone behind your back?”
Comparing people to each other is really irritating.
Look at Song Jingyun’s family!
The family lives in such a spacious and bright house. The wife of the family is young and beautiful, and most importantly, she is a good money maker. So Song Jingyun wears the best materials on weekdays, and does not have to worry about copying books to make money all day long. , you can concentrate on studying, how free and comfortable it is.
Look at your own home again!
The more Zhang Yaosheng thought about it, the more aggrieved he felt, and his face turned as black as the bottom of a pot, which was very ugly.
Niu could see Zhang Yaosheng's anger, and he didn't dare to argue anymore. He just nodded hastily, "I understand, I will..."
"After lunch, I went out to look around to see if there was anything suitable for me to do."
Seeing that Mr. Niu was so obedient and afraid of him, Zhang Yaosheng felt a little more at ease. He said "hmm" and continued eating.
Seeing Zhang Yaosheng's gentle expression, Mr. Niu diligently helped Zhang Yaosheng pick up the vegetables.
These meals are so unpalatable!
Zhang Yaosheng was full of disgust, but because of hunger in his belly, he had to stuff it into his mouth.
But the more congested I become, the more congested I feel.
Song Jingyun was so lucky to have found such a good woman.
It would be great if he had such luck...
The fact that there is no food in the academy theoretically has no impact on Song Jingyun.
After all, he goes back to eat every day.
But because many people often invited him to go with them because they wanted to go out for dinner, Song Jingyun had to decline them all.
There was only one reason for the decline: he wanted to go back and have dinner with his wife.
At first, everyone was extremely surprised, thinking that there was no reason for this. But after a few times, everyone got used to it, and even laughed and said, "Mr. Song is really a man who cares deeply about his wife."
"The love between husband and wife makes others envious."
"It is rare for Mr. Song to have such deep affection and friendship..."
Such words often came to Song Jingyun's ears. Song Jingyun always smiled slightly and did not respond too much.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Yaosheng thought for a moment and felt relieved.
Even for an ordinary couple who love each other, there is no reason why they should be tired of being together every day. Song Jingyun runs home all day long and does not eat out for a single meal. There is probably only one reason - henpecking.
After all, Mrs. Renjiang made all the money in the family. Even though Song Jingyun was a manly man, his status in the family was probably not good enough. He needed to please his wife in exchange for his own food and clothing.
Although Niu was a little incompetent, she was very obedient. He asked her to go east, but she didn't dare to go west. He asked her to beat the dog, but she didn't dare to chase the chicken. It can be said that she obeyed his orders.
In this comparison, his life is still easier!
Zhang Yaosheng suddenly felt a lot more proud, and the dejection he had felt because his family's financial situation was not as good as Song Jingyun's was gone.
And when he learned that Song Jingyun did not marry Jiang Michia, but married into the Jiang family as a son-in-law, he became even more proud and happy.
No matter how good he is at studying, no matter how well he is appreciated by his master and the mountain chief, no matter how well-dressed and well-fed he is, he is actually a son-in-law, and the children he will have in the future will only have the Jiang family name. It was just the icing on the cake for the Jiang family, not even half of the glory of the Song family.
How ridiculous!
Zhang Yaosheng's chin was raised high.
——
It snowed twice in succession, and the weather became increasingly cold.
In order for students to study well, charcoal fires are used for heating in the academy.
At Jiang Michia's house, a large amount of charcoal was purchased to burn earth dragons and charcoal basins. Even the hand stoves used to warm hands always maintained a certain level of heat.
Amidst such cold weather, Babao Zhai in the county town opened its doors, but the opening time was a full half month later than expected in October.
The reason is that when decorating the shop, Jiang Michia looked at the layout of the shop and the route of the customers after entering, and slightly changed the position of the counter at the door.
After the modification, the doorway was very open and bright, and it also looked grand and classy. Even shopkeeper Wei was full of praise for it.
As for the matter of being half a month late, everyone didn't pay much attention to it and just looked for a good day.
After all, you don’t have to worry about being late for a good meal!
In fact, this is exactly what happened.
Babaofang is well-known in Fucheng, and its fame has also spread vaguely to the county. Now that Babaofang has been opened in the county, it is natural to give it a try.
As a result, Babaofang's business has been booming since the day it opened, and it is full of guests every day.
In response to this situation, Jiang Michia suggested that Shopkeeper Wei introduce a tiered membership system.
Silver card, gold card, black card.
Members adopt a pre-deposit system. The more money you deposit at a time, the higher the level of the card, the more discounts you can enjoy when dining, and you will also get more gifts and priority in private rooms.
The membership system may seem ordinary, but it has become a bad marketing tool in modern society, and is even looked down upon by many marketing and promotion people.
But many times, the most effective method is often the simplest method.
