Chapter 44 Another day to do it yourself!

No one expected that when Zhu Donghua came back to her senses, she actually returned to the stove shed with the bowl in hand.

When I came out again, my hands were empty.

"Duo Zi, thank you. I have figured it out in the past two days. As long as my mother doesn't ask me to leave, I will listen to her. Even if Li Yi is gone and becomes a widow, I will still listen to my mother. Yes, do your best in this family!"

Mrs. Xu didn't say anything more, shook Mrs. Zhu's hand, and continued cleaning the fish scales.

Lin Tao got up again just after entering the bed. She calculated that she would go to bed at midnight, but she got up at midnight, and it was another day when she only slept for three hours.

When they left the room, they saw Mrs. Xu and Mrs. Zhu, already busy at work.

Xiao Li Qian sat on the ground and added firewood to the stove.

Xiao Linglan became a porter of firewood, helping her brother carry firewood one by one.

Mrs. Xu kept stirring the fish scales in the pot.

Zhu is cleaning the leaves.

"Are you awake?"

"I fell asleep. We just got up." Zhu said, bringing water, toner, and a newly made "toothbrush."

Although she has been here these days, Lin Tao is somewhat used to it.

But every time she brushed her teeth, she really didn't like the feeling of chewing dirt in her mouth.

Next time I go up the mountain, I have to find some honey and make some toothpaste.

After getting ready, Lin Tao led the people out.

Li Yi, who slept at the door yesterday, still sleeps at the door today.

It seems that Li Yi's spirit today is much worse than yesterday.

He hasn't had anything to eat for two days, it's no wonder he's in good spirits!

"Mom, I'm really going to die." Li Yi was as angry as a thread.

Lin Tao replied heartlessly: "Then congratulations in advance."

Li kept fussing, and his mouth was covered in blood and scabs, just like a prisoner who had been tortured.

After harnessing the ox cart, Mrs. Zhu suddenly said: "Mom, teach me how to drive the cart."

Lin Tao was very curious: "Why do you want to learn to drive a car?"

Zhu lowered her head and didn't speak for a long time.

Mrs. Xu put the two little ones into the car and said, "Sister-in-law, since you have thought it through clearly, tell mother what is on your mind."

When Zhu raised his head, the look in his eyes was no longer as dull as before.

"Mom, I don't want to be an outsider in this family. I want to rely on my own hands to truly become a member of this family, and work with you to support this family!"

Lin Tao never expected that Zhu would say these words.

You know, since she kicked Li Yi out, Mrs. Zhu seemed to have lost her soul.

In fact, it is not difficult to understand that here, women obey their father at home, their husbands when they get married, and their sons after their husbands die, which shows their low status.

Without Li Yi in the family, she would be homeless. It is understandable that she would be at a loss as to what to do.

But what Lin Tao didn't expect was that Zhu would have the idea of ​​relying on herself. There were not many women here who could have such an idea.

Seeing that the old lady was silent, Mrs. Zhu quickly explained: "Mother said that in this family, you must be useful! Mother, please teach me to be a woman who can survive without relying on men, okay? I don't want to Go back to your parents’ home again! Please!”

Seeing that Zhu was about to kneel down again, Lin Tao pulled her up.

The reins in his hands were also handed to Zhu.

"bring it on!"

Mrs. Xu was so excited that she wiped tears with Mrs. Zhu, saying from time to time: "It's great! It's great!"

On the way, Lin Tao taught Zhu how to control the ox cart.

I have to say that Zhu is much smarter than Li Er.

She is not like Li Er, who is making a fuss and cannot hold her breath.

When they arrived at Fangshi, Lin Tao set up a stall next to Sister Yu.

Sister Yu was holding two little ones, and she was so complimentary that Lin Tao couldn't help but think about it.

The two children, who had never come out to see anyone, were even more blushing and buried their heads low.

Looking at this scene from a distance, one would think that the two little ones were being trained.

"Okay, okay, if Sister Yu praises you again, my grandchildren will almost fly into the sky!"

Lin Tao pulled the two little ones aside.

However, today's business is much worse than yesterday. This stall has been set up for two quarters of an hour and has not yet opened.

Sister Yu, who had just sold another fish, came over with two cents and said, "Here, pack two portions for me. I will take them back and give them to my grandchildren to taste."

Lin Tao knew in her heart that this was Sister Yu's good intention.

When doing business, it is important to have a smooth opening. Some people believe that as long as the business is not open for one day, it may not be sold for several days.

Lin Tao packed an extra portion and sent it to Sister Yu.

"What's going on today? The snack business seems to be in a recession."

While we were talking, there were several women passing by with baskets filled with bean sprouts.

Lin Tao noticed that at this moment, she didn't buy as much as millet or bean sprouts.

Sister Yu pointed to the sky: "Sister, I'm afraid you've forgotten that it hasn't rained in two months today. Everyone is afraid, so they buy more food and put it aside. It's also good to prepare it in advance, so as not to run out of money in the event of a drought.

If you buy food at high prices, your family will starve to death."

"By the way, doesn't your family have no land? Do you want to buy some and save it?"

"That's not necessary." Lin Tao shook her head. Even if she used all the money to buy food, she wouldn't be able to buy much.

With just that little money, what should I do after eating? Will the whole family starve to death together? I don’t know if I can go back if I starve to death?

"Oh, by the way, eldest sister, let me ask you, is there anywhere in town where I can buy bows and arrows?"

"What? Bow and arrow?"

"Yes, that's what the officers and soldiers used..."

Before she finished speaking, Sister Yu's expression suddenly changed and she covered her mouth.

"Oh! Sister, you must never say these words again, or you will be beheaded!"

Lin Tao nodded, and Sister Yu let go of her hand.

"You! Don't you know that common people can't buy and sell weapons? If the people in the government listen to this, let alone you, your whole family may not even be able to save their heads."

No wonder she was kicked out of the iron shop yesterday when she went to the market and asked about bows and arrows.

Yesterday, she thought that they did not engage in arms trading, so they could not engage in arms trading.

Hey! Another DIY day!

At the right time, someone came to buy gold armor.

Lin Tao pulled the two little ones up and said, "Go and help your mother collect the money."

Although Xiao Linglan is much more courageous than before, she still doesn't dare to open her mouth and speak.

Xiao Li Qian was much more cheerful than before. He responded, took the small basket she gave him, and led his sister over.

"Uncle, it only costs a penny a share." Xiao Liqian said, holding a small basket in both hands.

While the customers were waiting for the food, they started to joke: "Hey, the little shopkeeper is very good at doing business. What if I buy two portions?"

Xiao Linglan, who was hiding behind Xiao Li Qian, stuck out half of her head and said in a little cat voice: "Two."

The customers in front of the stall raised their eyebrows slightly. It seemed that they just didn't understand what Xiao Linglan meant.

Xiao Liqian smiled with crooked eyebrows and said loudly: "One penny for one share, two penny for two cents."

The guest asked again with bright eyes: "What if I want to buy five servings?"

"Five cents!"

"What if I buy eight copies?"

"Eight cents."

"Abo, if I ask you again, is it possible to take a more difficult test for you?"

Xiao Liqian nodded.

"If your snacks cost two cents each and Uncle wants to buy six, how much should you charge?"
