The courtyard of the Zhao family was so lively that the laughter and laughter spread to other homes.
Aunt Zhang's family is really happy for her family, but other families don't think so.
The third family next door to the Zhao family is also a member of the Wan family. We don't have much contact with each other, and we only politely say hello when we meet.
The current head of the household is Wan Erniu's daughter-in-law, Li. She directed her grandchildren to clear the snow in the yard. Listening to the laughter and laughter coming from the Zhao family, she couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "Isn't it just a profit?"
A few stinky money? Why do you show off every day? You said you have no money, but didn’t you bring back a whole cart of stuff last night?”
Her daughter-in-law heard it nearby and hurriedly came over and said, "Mom, are you telling the truth? When did it happen?"
"Just last night at midnight, the carriage was full. I saw it when I got up at night! They must be good things, that's why they pulled them back in the middle of the night! In my opinion, she just didn't want to go out to build the road.
Pay some money!"
The daughter-in-law immediately said: "She is going too far. She makes so much money and spends hundreds of taels of silver to build roads for us. If she can give more, families like us can give less, and we can save one year of struggle."
Ah! It’s so easy for her to make money, why can’t she be considerate of us ordinary people?”
Li was just feeling unbalanced at first, so she muttered a few words like this, but after hearing what her daughter-in-law said, she suddenly felt that what she said made sense. A family of three taels of silver, so much money, was enough to buy the family's food rations for more than half a year. Naturally, it was
Save what you can.
Yesterday, the village chief used Zhao Huanyu's lack of money as an excuse to not allow them to mention Zhao Huanyu's payment. They believed it at the time, but now that they thought about it, they felt something was wrong.
Zhao Huanyu may have no money, but isn't there a noble gentleman living in her family? That noble gentleman is very rich at first glance. Isn't it a piece of cake to spend hundreds of taels of silver to build roads in their village?
"Mom, in my opinion, this matter must be told to the village chief and other people in the clan. Everyone must be as unwilling to pay as we are. As long as we force the Zhao family to pay, we can save money!"
The daughter-in-law continued to provoke, and the more Ms. Li thought about it, the more she realized she was right. It was not easy for her two sons to make money, and no one in the family could make money like Zhao Huanyu. As long as the Zhao family could provide money, they would do anything.
"You're right, I'll go talk to the village chief right now!"
Mrs. Li was about to go out as she said this, but as soon as she opened the door, she saw two carriages passing by her door, and then slowly stopped at the door of Zhao's house. The boy driving the carriage shouted outside: "Miss Zhao, open the door quickly, we
Here’s a New Year gift for you!”
Mrs. Li and her daughter-in-law were both stunned. What good things could these two cars bring?
They wanted to go over and join in the fun, but the door of Zhao's house opened quickly. After the threshold was removed, the two carriages went straight in, giving them no chance to join in the fun.
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law looked at each other, and Ms. Li said, "You go back and cook, and I'll go to the village chief's house!"
The daughter-in-law responded, but still pulled her neck to look towards the Zhao family, her eyes full of envy.
It's really strange. How many people has Zhao Huanyu hooked up with? How come there are so many rich people coming to give New Year gifts?
Yuanbaoshan, who is also in the Zhao family, is also very curious about this question. His family is in a town next door. Although it is not far away, he rarely has any contact with Changshui Village, so he really doesn’t know what the Zhao family has been up to in the past six months.
What happened.
The Liu family's mother and daughter have long since disappeared. Xiaoyu seems to have the final say in the family now. The noble young master who lives at home came to see her for medical treatment, and the fat young master who came to visit now simply came to give her a New Year gift.
Yes, the second sister explained to him that this was Mr. Duan, Xiaoyu’s business partner, and he had helped Xiaoyu a lot.
So, Xiaoyu is now doing business and treating people as a doctor, right?
It's really admirable to be so powerful at such a young age.
In the yard, Yuanbaoshan was the most confused. He couldn't do anything in the kitchen, so he could only help with the unloading of goods.
They were all wrapped in exquisite gift boxes, which looked very valuable at first glance. He was afraid that the box would be damaged if he touched it any more, so he hardly dared to use force.
Zhao Huanyu rolled her eyes, Duan Kuo was exaggerating a little.
She just gave a New Year's gift out of politeness yesterday, so she didn't want Duan Kuo to pay so much back.
But he probably mainly wanted to give it back to Ji Mingxuan, after all, the token was quite valuable.
Duan Kuo kept Gao talking and ignored Zhao Huanyu.
"Ah Nai, I brought you two pieces of old ginseng this time. You can soak them in water and drink them on weekdays. Your health will definitely get better and better."
Giving old ginseng was considered a big gift no matter what era, and it was two ginseng. Gao was a little flattered and said: "I am in good health, how can I use such a good thing? Take it back quickly, I heard that your father
He is in poor health, so you should keep it to replenish his health."
"I have some at home, don't worry, grandma! Just keep the ones I gave you. This is my filial piety!"
As soon as he entered the door, he kept shouting "grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma, grandma", which made Mrs. Gao very happy. Naturally, everything he said was good.
Mrs. Gao really nodded in agreement and said to Zhao Huanyu: "It's too wasteful for me to use two old ginseng by myself. You pick one and find something else. Tomorrow we will take it to your aunt's house to replenish it for your mother-in-law."
body."
"Okay! That's exactly what I thought!"
Zhao Huanyu nodded in agreement and took Wu Gui and Fu Yuan to put things into the warehouse.
Yuanbaoshan was shocked. Should such a precious old ginseng be given to his mother directly? How much is it worth?
He wanted to refuse, but thinking of his old mother who was bedridden and couldn't even eat, the words of refusal were stuck in his throat and he couldn't say anything.
He knew that what he was doing was wrong, but he also selfishly hoped that his mother could get an old ginseng root and cure her disease.
Just when he was extremely entangled, Li had already arrived at the village chief's house. At this time, the village chief's family was busy cleaning, with his son and daughter-in-law working enthusiastically.
With the money given by Zhao Huanyu this year, his family will be able to have a prosperous year, and the whole family will have smiles on their faces.
When he saw Mr. Li visiting, he greeted her warmly: "Aunt Li, come in and sit down!"
The speaker was the eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief. She was sweeping snow by the door. When she saw Mrs. Li, she naturally led her inside.
Thinking that she was here to see her mother-in-law, Ms. Li was about to call her mother-in-law to come out when she said, "I came to the village chief to say something."
"Hey, Aunt Li, please sit down for a while. My dad is in the backyard. I'll call him right away!"
The eldest daughter-in-law of the village chief's family happily went to call the village chief, completely unaware that Mrs. Li was looking for trouble.
