Chapter 165 The Ding family really benefits her
Shuiqing really didn't expect Fan Qian and Fan Damu to come to buy lime.
Lime, to put it simply, is used to kill viruses and disinfect bacteria for prevention.
Whether it is good or not, and whether it has any effect, you can't tell for a while, but you have to pay money to buy it.
Why are they willing to spend money to buy something that can't be effective immediately?
Besides, their family is different from other families. Other families in the village raise rabbits. After the flood, the land is wet and there are many rotten things. It's good to kill viruses and disinfect bacteria in and around the rabbit nest.
These two families don't have rabbits, and they don't even have many chickens, ducks, and geese. Why buy lime!
However, her family has a lot of lime. Originally, they were afraid that there would be some bad bacteria in the village after the flood to kill viruses. They didn't plan to let people in the village spend money to buy it. Now even Fan Qian and Fan Damu came to buy it. Is she still afraid of how much money she has?
Of course not.
Shuiqing had a smile on her face, as if she was a family member taking care of her family. "We are all Fan family members, so I won't make any profit from you. I'll sell it to you at the original price.
It's just that you bought a lot, and it was not easy for the head of the family to carry it back. How about this, it takes more than an hour to walk from the city to Shanshui Village, and the freight for carrying these bags of lime back is five cents, isn't it too much?"
Fan Qian and Fan Damu took a breath!
Fan Qian thought that he and Fan Jin were brothers! Really, my sister-in-law actually asked him for money.
Not only did she ask for money, but she also charged for freight!
Fan Damu thought that he had only heard of buying more at a lower price, but he had never heard of buying more and charging extra freight.
Is my sister-in-law obsessed with money?
Shuiqing still smiled and worriedly said, "This is the same price as in the city, and we didn't make any profit from you.
You bought so much at once, so my family has less to use, and we have to go to the city to buy more, and we don't know when we can go to the city."
When Fan Qian and Fan Damu heard this, they decided to buy it!
Not only did they buy, they bought a lot.
What a joke, my sister-in-law is a woman who doesn't understand the market, but these two grown men do!
Uncle Ding said that the price of lime in the city will definitely increase after the flood.
Buying now is a profit.
The two of them pulled the cart back and saw villagers pushing wheelbarrows, pulling carts, and carrying baskets one after another.
I was very proud.
My sister-in-law must not have much left, and these people may have to return empty-handed.
It's a pity that they ran fast and came early!
The two returned with a full load, and they didn't feel tired even when they pulled a few sacks of lime home with difficulty.
When they got home, Fan's mother and Sun Jinhua saw the high pile of lime, and their faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot.
"Son, why did you buy so many inedible things?"
"Is the man from the Ding family trying to cheat us?"
Fan Qian, who was questioned, looked unhappy. "The old village chief and other elderly people have bought it in advance. How can it be fake?
What do you women know? If I hadn't run fast, I couldn't even buy this."
Sun Jinhua didn't dare to say anything.
The money in the family is either in the hands of the mother-in-law or the head of the family. It's not up to her to decide whether to buy or how much to buy.
Fan's mother felt sorry for the money and muttered in a hoarse voice: "The crops in the fields, the food"
Fan Qian was annoyed when he heard the two broken voices at home and interrupted: "Okay, okay, spread these limes everywhere. You spent money to buy them, spread them carefully!"
Fan Damu's mother and wife over there also looked unhappy when they saw the lime.
They didn't even build a house, why did they buy this?
Fan Damu just regretted it at this moment. When he heard that it was almost gone, he thought about buying it quickly. Now he felt that he had spent money.
But since he had bought it, he naturally couldn't admit that he had bought it wrong.
On the other side, people were busy buying lime in front of the warehouse of Shuiqing Yard.
Before Fan Qian and Fan Damu came, she didn't let the young ones come forward, let alone her family members, otherwise if they were pressured by the two of them as elders or regarded themselves as Fan family members, how could they negotiate money? How to collect money?
Now they are all people from the village, and they are all honest people, so the purchase of lime is handed over to the young ones.
She stood at a distance and watched, and whispered to Fan Jin beside her: "I didn't expect it. I was worried about how to send it out and let the villagers spread it willingly, but now they actually take the initiative to buy it."
You know, it's very difficult to change the concept of farmers.
Especially for this kind of thing that can't be seen immediately, even if it's in the name of doing good for them, it's not an easy thing to make them work.
Fan Jin raised a faint smile at the corner of his lips, "It was Uncle Ding who made them think that plague is easy after floods, and lime is useful."
This is also related to the corpses he saw with his own eyes a few days ago.
How can people in the village not be afraid?
Shuiqing thought that with Uncle Ding behind her and Aunt Ding in front of her, the Ding family really benefited her.
She looked at Hu Wenhua, who was carrying a large sack of lime, as if he was holding a ball of cotton, and asked casually, "How old is Uncle Ding's daughter?"
The Ding family moved in later, with a small population, and their style of speaking and doing things was also very different from the people in Shanshui Village.
They didn't know how to farm, nor did they buy land. They made a living by collecting medicinal herbs on weekdays.
They opened a small piece of wasteland at the back of the village to grow some vegetables and raise a few chickens and ducks, and built three adobe houses, which were not bad but not conspicuous.
Because they lived at the back of the village, they rarely interacted with people in the village, and their presence in the village was extremely low on weekdays.
But every time there was something going on in the village, they were extremely reliable.
Like this flood, the mushroom poisoning before, and the poisoning of Fan Qian and Sun Jinhua's family, well, this can't be blamed on Aunt Ding.
Any mother would not be able to swallow this breath if her daughter did nothing wrong and was chased to the doorstep and scolded.
This Ding family is not at the same level as the farmers in the village.
I don't know how Sun Jinhua has the nerve to think that the Ding family must have taken a fancy to her son? And it must be her son.
Fan Jin tried to think about it, but he didn't expect it. He frowned and said embarrassedly: "I don't know, you can ask Sister Guifen, she knows the most about the village."
He couldn't ask for her about the affairs between women.
Sister Guifen grew up in Shanshui Village since she was a child, and married Li Wen. She is a warm-hearted person. She knows everything about the big and small things in the village.
Shuiqing was just saying it casually, and seeing Fan Jin's embarrassed and self-blaming look, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth.
It's normal for a grown man like him not to know the age of a little girl in the village.
It's not like he has to know whatever she asks.
"Don't worry, maybe we'll see him someday."
Although Shuiqing said that, she knew it was hard to see him.
First, the Ding family lived at the back of the village and rarely walked around the village;
Second, her family belonged to a branch of Shanshui Village and rarely walked around the village;
How could they possibly see each other if they didn't walk around?
