Chapter 496 Cannon Fodder Died in Exile (14)

Wu Yingchun, who was originally in a trance, slowly woke up after hearing Wu Yingxue's words, and then a burst of hatred surged in his heart.

It's all to blame for the Shi family, as well as the Wu family, for not having a single good person.

She was already in such a miserable state, and they were adding insult to injury.

She would never let these people go. Even if her life was difficult, she would never let them have an easy life, especially Shi Mu. If she hadn't done this, she would have found another way.

Now, everything is over!

Mrs. Zhao came out of Wu Hongyang's room crying, and then looked at Wu Yingchun who was sitting motionless on the ground. He hated her for embarrassing herself, so he stepped forward and beat her hard twice, and then pulled her to her room.

, take care of it.

Since the master has said that, if this damn girl suddenly runs away, then she will really never be able to stand up in front of the master again.

Wu Yingchun allowed Aunt Zhao to drag her into the house. She hated both her mother and the Zhao family. If she had been reborn in her mother's womb, she would not have to suffer like this.

Shi Jiang and Shi's mother didn't have time to take care of the Wu family's affairs. Judging from the quantity of the bamboo tubes and reed straws they had prepared on the first day, they knew that they would have to get them again this time when Shi's father came back.

Shi Jiang felt that it would be better to leave these things to Mrs. Cai and her family to help.

After all, Mrs. Cai and the others are from the same village, so if they go to chop bamboo and reeds, the villagers won't mind too much.

But if people like them, who have just arrived in the village here, go to chop it down, some people will say something bad.

Sure enough, when Shi's mother listened to Shi Jiang's words and went to talk to Aunt Cai, the neighbor next door to Aunt Cai asked in a strange way why Shi's family was cutting so much bamboo.

Shi's mother smiled and ignored the man. She just pulled Mrs. Cai into the house and said something.

I heard that Shi's mother was willing to give money to let their family cut bamboo to make bamboo tubes, and then cut the reeds to look like straws. The edges were also required to be smoothed. For every 100 bamboo tubes and straws made, they would be given five cents.

.

Mrs. Cai's eyes lit up immediately and she agreed.

Their family has no shortage of strong laborers. As long as they have money, they are willing to do any job.

Not to mention these hundred bamboo tubes and reed straws, it only takes a blink of an eye and can be done.

Not to mention, their family has earned more copper coins in the past few days than they did in the whole year before.

So, after she respectfully sent Shi's mother out of the house, the neighbors curiously asked what Shi's mother was doing at their house. Sister Cai hesitated and said that Shi's family asked when the bullock cart would be free. After all, they were the only ones in the village.

My family is in the business of picking up and dropping off people with bullock carts.

As for the bamboo tubes and straws that Mother Shi asked them to make, if one less person knew about it, there would be one less person who would have the opportunity to compete with their family for work.

When the neighbors heard what Sister Cai said, they really believed it. After all, it seemed that Uncle Cai's oxcart was coming to him every day these days.

Not asking for any useful information, she rolled her eyes, snorted and turned around to go home.

Sister-in-law Cai didn't bother with people like this. When she got home, she called the third and fourth children over and asked one of them to cut bamboo and me to cut reeds. If anyone asked, they would say that the one they had before was broken.

, now chop more and leave it.

Even if people in the village find out about it later, they can still make some money first.

When Shi's mother returned home, she saw her daughter frowning and thinking about something.

"Children, why are you looking so sad?"

Shi's mother patted her daughter on the shoulder, touched her hair and asked.

"Mom, I have to buy this milk again. Otherwise, if dad comes back today, there will be no milk tea to sell tomorrow."

Shi Jiang was a little worried, how could she take out the milk from her bag and use it openly?

Shi's mother thought her daughter was worried about the lack of milk at home, so she quickly said, "Then I'll go to the village chief's house and buy another bucket!"

After saying that, he turned around and wanted to go out to the village chief's house.

But Shi Jiang grabbed him. Shi Jiang thought for a while and said to Shi's mother: "Mom, we often use milk for milk tea. We always go to the village chief to buy milk. The village chief doesn't say he has any objections.

, then I will definitely have to find out why our family buys so much milk every other day. Then, I’m afraid, how to make milk tea

I can't hide it any more. Why don't we directly ask the village chief if their cows are for sale? If so, buy them directly. This will save our family the trip to their house. It doesn't matter if they don't sell them.

, let dad ask in the county if there is anyone selling cows, we can just go and buy one and bring it back."

When Shi's mother heard what her daughter said, she thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed what her daughter said.

After all, they had just arrived in this village and were not very clear about the nature of the village chief.

It is better to just buy a cow and you can milk the cow anytime and anywhere to make milk tea.

"Sure, I'm going to ask first. I told Mrs. Cai that their family will prepare all the bamboo tubes and straws and send them over."

When Shi Jiang heard this, he learned that a hundred bamboo tubes and straws cost only five cents, and nodded to show that he understood.

This is too cheap and a great deal!

However, this time when Shi's mother went to the village chief's house to buy a cow, she was rejected.

In fact, the village chief wanted to nod and agree to sell it at first. After all, their precious grandson no longer wanted to drink this kind of smelly milk.

However, before he could nod in agreement, his mother-in-law opened the curtain and came in, directly rejecting Shi Mu's request to buy a cow.

When Shi's mother heard that the village chief's wife refused, although Shi's mother felt it was a pity, she didn't force it. She still spent the same ten cents and bought a barrel from the village chief's house.

When the village chief saw Shi's mother leaving the front door of his house, he frowned and said to his mother-in-law: "If you don't sell this cow, leaving it at home is a waste of food. After all, someone wanted to buy it. Why did you refuse?"

Tian Shi glanced at him, and then said: "You idiot, our family obviously needs milk at this time, so they ask our family to buy cows. As long as we don't sell cows for a day, his family will have to buy milk from us. One

It was a one-time buyout. How much is a cow worth? But as you just saw, a bucket of milk like this can be sold for ten cents! If you sell it a few times, you are afraid that you won’t be able to get the money back from a cow.

Coming?"

After saying that, I felt very proud and felt that I was more calculating than my own men.

The village chief was speechless for a moment. He didn't expect that his mother-in-law would think this way, and he regretted acquiescing to her refusal just now.

If I had known earlier, I should have told Shi Mu that his cows were sold. As long as he raised the fee a little, wouldn't the money be there?

If I really follow my mother-in-law's plan, Shi's family is not a fool. There is a shortage of everything here, except for this kind of cattle, sheep, and horses.

If you use this to criticize others, will it be impossible for them to buy cows from his house?

In the livestock markets in the county, as long as you have money, you can buy as many cows as you want.
