Chapter 300: Now that you have a hen, are you still worried about not having eggs?
At the time of getting off work in the evening, the setting sun was shining obliquely, and there was still a lot of light.
Most of the people in the village took this opportunity to cook, and they finished dinner and washed up before it was completely dark and went to bed. After all, it was inconvenient to do anything after dark, and the lamp oil was expensive, so they would not light it easily.
It was time to cook dinner, why did Fan's mother come here?
She had come here yesterday, and Fan Jin refused so obviously, Shui Qing did not give in, and everyone didn't like her. Why did she come again today?
"Hey, Aunt Fan, why are you here?" Zhao Lan greeted her with a smile and shouted loudly.
When the people behind the team heard it, they immediately shut up and stopped talking.
The people in the village of yam may not know what it is, whether it is worth money, and how much money it is worth, but everyone in the village of Polygonum multiflorum, from the elderly to the five or six-year-old children, knows that it is a good thing!
A precious medicinal material that can be sold for silver!
After all, people in the village had found a plant with a particularly long age before, and it was sold for 20 or 30 taels of silver.
That’s 20 or 30 taels of silver. If Fan’s mother knew that her youngest son’s Polygonum multiflorum was packed in a basket, she would be in big trouble.
Even if the youngest Polygonum multiflorum could not be sold for 20 or 30 taels of silver, a young Polygonum multiflorum could be sold for several hundred wen. Other families in the village had also dug Polygonum multiflorum several times before, and the villagers knew a little about its price.
They knew, and Fan’s mother knew it too.
No wonder Aunt Ding told them to be selective when Polygonum multiflorum moved in today. They could tell the adults at home who were tight-lipped and could make the decision, but the children had to keep it a secret.
Now they finally understood what it meant!
I don’t know who was the one who said too much before, and let Fan’s mother know the wages of the herbal medicine shop, which led to the commotion yesterday, and almost lost such a good job.
Keep it a secret, you must keep it a secret!
Fan's mother didn't even look at Zhao Lan, she just walked forward and snorted coldly in response.
These people were working for her son's house, and they were paid. According to the master's house in the prefecture, they were no different from servants.
It was their duty to flatter her and greet her with a smile, and they knew what was good for them.
Zhao Lan didn't get angry, she smiled and walked forward and asked, "Are you hungry, Aunt Fan? Why don't you have dinner at my house?"
Aunt Wu smiled and said, "Come to my house, we can chat."
Let Shuiqing's family have a quiet dinner.
"No, I'll go to my son's room and chat by the way!" Fan's mother kept walking.
These people have never been so generous before. They just came to curry favor with her today because they earned money working at her son's house. In the past, she would definitely be very happy, but now is different from the past. She has important things to do!
"Oh, there's nothing to go to, Aunt Fan, you don't know, the yard is full of mud and water, it's so dirty, there's no place to step, if you go there, your clean new cloth shoes will get dirty and wet." Huang Tao, the wife of Xu Lao San, looked at the cloth shoes of Fan's mother and yelled.
Before they got off work, they cleaned the ground of the yard very clean, and even brushed the gaps between the bluestone slabs with a bamboo brush several times. It must be said that the yard paved with floor tiles is easy to clean, and it's comfortable to just look at it.
Fan's mother stopped her steps forward, frowned and hesitated.
People in the village all wear straw shoes, only she wears cloth shoes, this is the difference between her and the women in the village! Especially today, the cloth shoes she wore were newly made a few days ago. She treasured them carefully. If they were dirty and soaked by the mud and water, she would feel distressed.
Huang Tao saw that there was a chance, and then persuaded: "When can you not go? Why take advantage of the first day of work when it's dirty and messy?
Besides, you can ask us if you have anything to ask, and we will definitely tell you everything. Who dares to hide it from you?"
Fan's mother moved her eyes, hummed, and asked with a frown: "Okay, then let me ask you, what kind of medicinal materials are those? Are they very expensive?"
"How can we recognize what kind of medicinal materials they are? They are just some tree roots, weeds, wild fruits and the like. Anyway, if they are placed in the wild, I will definitely step over them without even looking at them."
"It's hard to say whether they are expensive or not. If they are very expensive, wouldn't they just sell them directly? I heard from Aunt Ding that only the well-prepared ones are valuable. Maybe the valuable thing is the craftsmanship of the Ding family?"
Fan's mother murmured in her heart. Why does it sound like the Ding family is more powerful than her son?
Is it because the Ding family is in charge of this matter, so her son couldn't agree to let his eldest brother and his family go to the herbal medicine shop to help him yesterday?
"The Ding family is just at my son's beck and call. What's so great about that?"
"You can't say that. We've been at the beck and call of Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding all day. We've been doing whatever they've been told to do. And Aunt Ding said they don't get paid. Since they don't get paid, they're different from us."
"Sister Shuiqing said that these herbs were identified by Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding. Otherwise, they wouldn't know and would just think they were tree roots or wild fruits."
"Uncle Ding and Aunt Ding are really amazing. I want to invite them to my mountain to see if there are any herbs. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with them, so I can't ask them."
"Yes, I think so too. If there are herbs on our mountain, even if they're not valuable, it's better than just chopping wood, right?"
Mother Fan felt regretful as she listened.
It seems that the herbal medicine shop is on his son's land. What's valuable is not the herbs, but the craftsmanship of the Ding family?
Wasn't she wrong to oppose Ding Jiajia and her grandson so firmly before?
If she hadn't gone to the Ding family to make trouble, wouldn't all the wealth belong to the eldest son's family? If the golden grandson married Ding Jiajia, the Ding couple would work for her golden grandson in disguise!
Fan's mother took a deep breath and thought about the second and third sons coming back yesterday to send Ding Jiajia home. It's not too late. As long as one of the second or third sons married Ding Jiajia, it would be a matter of words to let Ding Heli and Qin Yilin go to their own mountain to find medicinal materials.
The work of the medicinal material shop is eggs, and the Ding family is the hen. Marrying Ding Jiajia, the hen is already there, so why worry about not having eggs?
After thinking through this relationship, Fan's mother was no longer in the mood to go to her second son's house. She wanted to go home and tell her golden grandsons about this happy event!
Seeing Fan's mother return with a happy face, Zhao Lan felt uneasy and muttered, "Why did Aunt Fan return so easily?"
"It's quiet today, but I always feel that there will be more trouble later." Aunt Wu sighed, looking worried and pessimistic.
Shuiqing's future life will be no peace.
Li Tiantian, Zhang Xiaocao and other unmarried girls are trembling. Before the separation, Sister Shuiqing worked hard and never complained, and was beaten and scolded, but she was not liked by Aunt Fan. After the separation, she managed the household well and could earn money. She managed the house and the outside in an orderly manner, and her children and even niece were well educated. Even so, Aunt Fan still came to make trouble every now and then. Although she didn't get anything, she was upset and angry.
They don't have Sister Shuiqing's ability, and they met a powerful mother-in-law... I dare not think about the bad days.
