After Mrs. Liu’s loud voice, everyone in Liujia Village knew that the Xiao family and the Xia family did not want to rent a house. According to Mrs. Liu, Xiao Ming and the Xia family just didn’t know how to promote themselves and didn’t know what to do. They sat on the big tree in the village. Xia pointed at Qiaodong and scolded them for a long time, and threatened not to let them go to her wedding banquet.
Xiao Ming ignored all of this, but made the Song family, Da Wang family and others very angry. Da Wang family tried to argue with Mrs. Liu several times, but was stopped, otherwise another war of words would break out.
The happy event for the Liu family had no impact on the Xiao family. The Xiao family continued to pick grapes, but in the past few days, fewer and fewer people came to help. Today, apart from the Wang family, Liu Yu, and Liu Xiaofang, there was only the Li family.
But today Xiao Han was off to help her family pick grapes, so she still had enough manpower.
Mrs. Li was in a particularly bad mood today. She was busy doing things and didn't talk much. Only after Mrs. Wang asked about it did she find out the cause and effect. It turned out that she went to Mrs. Liu's house yesterday evening. She happened to have two fat pigs at home and wanted to hold a banquet for Mrs. Liu. , threatened to buy five big fat pigs, and her family happened to have two that could be sold.
Who knew that Mrs. Liu was so unreasonable that she actually kept the price very low, picked on and dismissed people, and after an argument, the price was not raised. Instead, Mrs. Li was drooling after hearing this, and she was so angry in her heart. Pigs didn’t buy it either.
Liu Fushun and his bride, Miss Zhou, came back on the first day of the banquet. They were riding high and mighty, and there were countless servants. Several girls carried baskets and handed out wedding candies and ate food to everyone they saw. They were much more impressive than when Mrs. Liu came back.
The neighbors in the village not only received wedding candies, but also sweetly said auspicious words and received red envelopes. However, the bride did not show up while sitting in the carriage.
"Aunt, it's so hot. I want to eat shaved ice." Xiao Yu and Wang Tiandong ran in, sweating profusely. Now he and Wang Tiandong have grown a lot, and they insist on following Xiao Han and Xia Xiaoba. I went to pick grapes and my face was red and my whole body was covered in sweat.
"Look at you, come here and sit down." Xiao Ming pulled Xiao Yu to sit next to her, and gave each of them a bowl of anti-heat medicine on the table. This was a heat-relief medicine specially prepared by her to prevent heat stroke. .
"I want to eat shaved ice." Xiao Yu frowned and drank the medicine in one breath, still not forgetting to eat the small fruit shaved ice.
"Okay, each of you has a share." Xiao Ming said with a smile.
In the afternoon, Wang Xiaohua came over. This time Mrs. Liu didn't come. She only brought two girls over, wearing beautiful and colorful tulle skirts. Their hair was as shiny as the previous few days, and there was one on each wrist. The big red gold bracelet shines brightly everywhere.
"Girl Xiao, I heard that you grow a lot of vegetables for sale here. I'm here to buy some vegetables and fruits. Pick some of everything for me. I want fresh ones." Wang Xiaohua sat down and ate the fruits on the table as soon as she came. He didn't forget to explain his purpose of buying vegetables and fruits. He thought he was great, so he sat down and shouted at Xiao Ming.
Looking at the woman in front of her, Xiao Ming was a little disgusted. She was really haunted. She was not polite when buying things. She was dressed in a decent manner, but she didn't know the etiquette. No matter whether Kong Lin or Mother Li came to her house, they were always polite. of.
"Girl Xiao, you see, if you don't lend us your house, you still have to take care of your business, right? Everyone in the village should want to help each other, right?" Wang Xiaohua was eating grapes, still brooding over what happened the day before, thinking that Xiao Ming Young and ignorant.
"You can buy vegetables. How much do you want? I'll have someone pick them for you. The vegetables are five taels of silver per catty and the fruit is ten taels of silver." Xiao Ming quoted.
"What? You robbed!" Wang Xiaohua jumped up, spit out the grapes in her mouth, and looked at Xiao Ming in disbelief.
"You little girl, do you know the market? This dish is only sold for one or two cents in the town, but it actually costs five taels of silver here." Wang Xiaohua was angry. This fruit is even more ridiculously expensive. The two taels of silver that her mother-in-law gave her I'm afraid I can't even buy half a pound of vegetable leaves.
"Sister-in-law Wang, the things I have here are worth this price. Do you want to buy them or not? I still don't want to sell them?" Xiao Ming said and ignored her.
"You..." Wang Xiaohua reacted. This girl clearly didn't want to sell, so she raised the price so high.
Really~~~
"Haha, Sister Ming, you see there are so many vegetables and fruits that I can't finish them all, so why don't you sell them to me at a cheaper price, how about twenty cents per catty." Wang Xiaohua said flatteringly, the fruits in Pingcheng are only three or four. Ten cents per catty, and vegetables were worthless. She thought that the price she gave her was already quite high, and she still had a few cents left over for twenty taels.
It's a pity that Xiao Ming ignored her.
Even though she had nice things to say, Xiao Ming wouldn't let go.
Xiao Ming's family never had to worry about selling their vegetables. Kong Lin would come and take a few carts every day. Now the price of vegetables has risen to fifty cents per catty. Wang Xiaohua thought it was a high price when she paid twenty cents.
Wang Xiaohua couldn't help it, so she went to discuss it with Mrs. Song and Mama Yi. Mrs. Song and Mama Yi knew that Xiao Ming had made up her mind and rejected Wang Xiaohua.
Unfortunately, Wang Xiaohua returned without success, and she was so angry. On weekdays, Xiao Ming would rather give away the vegetables and fruits at home to the villagers than sell the vegetables to her cheaply.
Wang Xiaohua returned home without buying anything.
In the Liu family, Zhou Lianrong got up in the afternoon and looked tired. She was very dissatisfied with the best room in the Liu family. The bed was too hard and there was always a strange smell in the room. There were always mosquitoes buzzing in her ears. Even though The girl had scented the room with sandalwood in advance, and the two girls fanned her at the bedside, but she still couldn't sleep peacefully.
She couldn't stand it for a moment, there were mosquitoes and the smell. Fortunately, it was only a few days. She would go back to the city as soon as the wedding banquet was over.
In front of the dressing table, Zhou Lianrong half-closed her eyes and allowed the girl Qingsui to style her hair into a bun. She also asked a girl to put the ice basin at her feet. There were constant shouting outside the house, which made her head feel heavy.
"What's going on outside? It's noisy." Zhou Lianrong said irritably, her tone was a little bad, and since everything was not going well, her mood was naturally not very good.
This is the first time she has come to her husband's old house, and it will also be the last time she comes here.
Qingsui quickly winked at the little girl guarding the door and asked her to go out and take a look.
After the girl went out for a moment, the noise outside the door became much quieter. The little girl came in to reply. It turned out that Wang Xiaohua came back from the meal at Xiao Ming's house and told the whole story to Mrs. Liu. Mrs. Liu was so angry that she ignored the people in the yard. They immediately started making noises, scolding Xiao Ming for being ignorant, and forgot to restrain themselves for a moment, disturbing the little daughter-in-law.
"There is such a thing. What vegetables and fruits can be sold for five or ten taels." Zhou Lianrong sneered. The untouchables in the countryside have never seen silver. When they know that their family is rich, they will ask for prices all over the sky.
"Rong'er, you're asleep, why don't you sleep a little longer." Mrs. Liu walked straight in, with a friendly smile on her face, and she didn't look like she was being messed with at Xiao Ming's house.
