In the blink of an eye, four months passed.

It's the end of the year in a flash.

On New Year's Eve.

Mrs. Zhen Lu, Widow Qin, Shitou, Xiaolingdang, Xiaoxiangchun's family of five, as well as Yi Qinghe and his wife, all gathered at He Dashan's house. Together with He Dashan, He Xiaoyu's brother and sister, and the lame old lady in the backyard,

A whole room of people gathered together and were making dumplings together.

Lively and lively.

Mrs. Zhen Lu looked at the lame old lady and the aunt: "The Cao family in the front yard has become more prosperous in the past few months. Just in the morning I saw that the family had chickens and fish, and they carried them to the backyard without saying anything.

Be filial and filial to the old lady.”

In a few days, the Cao family was prospering, and Mrs. Zhen Lu was very excited to see it.

He only regretted that his son died early, which made Cao Zhang proud, so he took the opportunity to apply eye drops in front of the old lady.

"What's the use of honoring an old woman like me when half of my body is buried in the soil."

The lame old lady also sounded a little sour when she spoke.

She really wished that the whole courtyard would come to honor her.

The eldest lady heard something wrong and said a few words to the Cao family: "It's not easy for the Cao family. They fled from the northwest, and there were only five mothers left out of a dozen people. In the past six months, it has been hard to make ends meet.

Okay, that’s it, I haven’t even bought all my belongings yet.”

People are living a good life because the Cao family is capable, wild and willing to endure hardships.

When the Cao family arrived in the courtyard, you, the old lady, didn't even stretch out your hand or say a single kind word. The Cao family is being filial!

It makes no sense.

"Hey!"

"If you're having a hard time, why should you eat so much? No one in this courtyard can compare to what they eat. I don't want to think about what the Cao family will look like when they come here."

"So skinny that I lose my shape!"

"Shamefully dressed!"

"The only possessions I have are a pole, two baskets and a jar."

"Look now -"

"A strong one can kill a cow!"

"How many months has it been?"

Mrs. Zhen Lu was sour and jealous. The more she talked, the angrier she became. Seeing that the eldest lady disapproved, she said with a sour smile: "I almost forgot. Yesterday, the eldest son and the fifth son of the Cao family went to the first uncle's house and brought a lot of good things.

Right? One basket is bigger and the other is smaller. If you don’t know, you might think you are visiting your in-laws.”

"mother!"

Widow Qin and He Xiaoyu were coming in with dumpling fillings. When they heard Zhen Lu's words, they hurriedly interrupted.

A man and a woman who are nearly fifty years old and have nothing to live for, if they tell people in front of them that they want to leave their in-laws, isn't this a slap in the face?

The eldest lady looked ugly.

But it didn't happen either.

Since the eldest son of the Zhen family was still there, the first uncle had been close to the Zhen family and helped a lot in the past. After the eldest son of the Zhen family, the widow Qin, disappeared, he helped even more.

If there was a dispute with Zhen Lu, not to mention that Zhen Lu's fighting ability was second only to the crippled old lady in the entire compound. Even if the aunt had the upper hand, the elder would inevitably try to sidestep the dispute and try to settle the matter.

Three times and five times.

The eldest lady has stopped fighting with Zhen Lu for a long time, which gave Zhen Lu the confidence to dare to ridicule the eldest lady.

Every family has its cupboard.

It’s especially hard to remember the eldest daughter.

…

Not just the middle court.

At this time, Master Yan’s house in the front yard also talked about the Cao family.

"The Cao family boss is very smart!"

"I collected rabbits at first and sold them to Sun's Restaurant through Xu Dazhi. I made a lot of money."

“Later I switched to selling fish and made more money.”

"The weather has cooled down in the past two months, and the price of fresh fish has increased a lot. The Cao family has never been out of stock."

Master Yan took a sip of the soju mixed with water and smacked it, feeling uncomfortable in his heart.

The Cao family's life is getting better and better.

On the contrary, it is the Yan family. As the price of food in Xijing City rises instead of falling after the autumn harvest, the Yan family's income has not changed. Life will be even more difficult now!

Compare the two phases, one up and one down.

Who doesn’t feel uncomfortable?

In fact, when the Cao family started selling hares, Master Yan wanted to imitate him, but unfortunately he couldn't get the supply.

When the Cao family started selling fish, he went to the pier to inquire, but he also had no way out. He could just buy some miscellaneous fish, and the big fish with good quality would not be their turn at all.

If he trades in trash fish and small fish, wouldn’t he become a complete second-rate fishmonger?

What kind of dignity does this have for a scholar!

The eldest son of the family is not willing to do this either.

The most important thing is that there is no money to be made.

Master Yan was also puzzled: "Where did the Cao family come from? They are so wild!"

"Is there any other way?"

"The big man of the Cao family is in the Caishui Gang. There are more than a dozen docks along the Caishui River. They are all the territory of the Caishui Gang. Do you want any big fish?"

Yan Bi's face was filled with envy.

In the entire compound, their family is geographically closest to the Cao family. In addition, the Cao family has a "house-stealing hatred" for the Yan family, so they naturally pay more attention to it on weekdays.

However, no one expected that in just four or five months, they would watch the Cao family prosper like this.

Some of the hostility in the past has long since disappeared over time.

Now Yan Bi and Yu Li only want to earn more money so that they can move out as soon as possible, so that Mrs. Yan and the young couple will not have to plan every sip of tea and candle.

And this lucrative business will probably still fall to the Cao family.

"Let me go find the Cao family?"

"What are you thinking about!"

"If we hang out with the Cao family, will our family's reputation still be lost?"

When Master Yan heard this, his head shook like a rattle and he refused.

"How can you lose your reputation by being close to the Cao family?"

"The Xu Dazhi family is close to the Cao family. I don't know how much they have made in the past six months!"

"There is also the grandpa's house! Auntie and Aunt Cao are very close. Yesterday, I really saw that Cao Ren carried a basket of eggs and two big carp and went straight to the grandma's house."

Yu Li was not convinced.

Their family is closest to the Cao family. If their relationship is better, how can they not take advantage of it? If they bow their heads and surrender, what is a little face if they can exchange it for a profitable business?

Not to mention that the Yan family was afraid that Cao Ren was a rebellious person and did not dare to bite him randomly. The two families never really broke up with each other.

"Okay! No further discussion!"

"Other people's families are other people's families! We are students in our family, and we are not from the same gang as those in the gang!"

Master Yan refused to give in even a step.

Yan Bi looked embarrassed and did not dare to speak.

Yu Li was so angry that she gritted her teeth. She was angry that her father-in-law was too stubborn and that her men were not living up to expectations. She couldn't help but hide in the house and wipe her tears.

…

Eat at Xu Dazhi's house at noon.

Return home.

Cao Zhang also mentioned something: "There are several people in the courtyard who have inquired with me. They want to ask the boss to introduce them to do some aquatic products business."

"Pooh!"

“What a beautiful thought!”

Before Cao Ren could open his mouth, Cao Xian spat and frowned.
