Chapter 24: good money
Chapter 24 Is it good to make money?
The children's laughter echoed in the Ye family's house, but three people in the Liu family fell ill one after another.
First, Wang Shi, who was frightened by men in black who were all over the yard frozen into popsicles early in the morning, and half of his souls were lost, then Qian Shi, who was capable of harming others but contradictory, and was particularly afraid of blood. After knowing the truth of the matter, Liu Feng was **** off by his daughter-in-law's misbehavior.
Liu Zhihong is fine, but as long as he thinks that his new wife doesn't take his vows seriously at all, he can't help but regret that he didn't think more about who to marry.
Suppressing his anger, Liu Zhihong took two days to deal with the aftermath, and returned to Fucheng with Qian and the dozen or so servants who followed Qian's dowry.
After they left, they never returned to the village. Liu Feng and Wang Shi, who were still ill, were entrusted by Liu Zhihong to his aunt and sister.
His younger sister, Liu Zhiyuan, is only three months younger than Ye Anlan. When she was a child, she often chased after Ye Anlan, and her sister and sister yelled at her. Knowing someone, stepping on Ye Anlan is harder than anyone else.
As one of the only two children of the Liu family, although Liu Zhiyuan is a girl, she has always been pampered by her mother-in-law Wang at home.
Now her brother ran away with his sister-in-law, and the task of taking care of her parents fell to her, a delicate girl who never touches the sun. Liu Zhiyuan couldn't do it after only two days.
She was crying and fussing, Wang felt sorry for her daughter, and thought about leaving the housework to her sister-in-law, but Liu Feng severely scolded her, saying that she didn't want to use her relatives as slaves. His son has a good reputation.
Wang couldn't hold him back, so he could only drag his sick body, cook and wash, and feed pigs and chickens by himself. She was in a bad mood, and she was always unable to follow the doctor's advice to rest well, so her condition kept coming and going. Even though it was nearing the end of the year, she still hadn't fully recovered.
It's hard for the villagers to say anything in person, but behind their backs, almost all of them are talking about the recent messy things that happened in the Liu family.
There was the one with the long mouth who deliberately came to Ye's house to share gossip with Li Shi. After sharing, I still don't forget to say gloatingly, "The Liu family didn't marry a daughter-in-law, it's obviously giving up a son."
They didn't know that those men in black from the Liu family were hired by Qian Shi, so they naturally couldn't guess that Liu Zhihong took Qian Shi away to prevent Qian Shi from making another moth.
Among these villagers' guesses, Liu Zhihong clearly disregarded the life and death of his parents and his own sister, and only wanted to take his little daughter-in-law to a safe and prosperous Fucheng to enjoy happiness.
As the audience, Mrs. Li knew the inside story, but why did Mrs. Li help Liu Zhihong, a white-eyed wolf like him, clean up his stigma? It is kind enough for her not to add insult to injury.
***
There are still ten days before the new year, and there has been no new moth in the Liu family, so Ye Anlan decided to fulfill her previous promise.
She asked Ye Jinkui to go to the village to borrow two cars, and then took her family and Zheng Fengshou to the county town with all the money.
It was still Ye Jinkui's two little friends who helped them look after their house, but this time Ye Jinkui and the others would not stay overnight in the county.
A few people drove the ox and donkey carts and set off at dawn. After paying the entrance fee, they went to Jishitang immediately to find the old doctor's pulse and medicine.
The old doctor still had an impression of this big family. He checked the pulse of the Li family, changed the prescription, and then took out the scar-removing ointment that Ye Anlan had ordered before.
Ye Anlan gave him the balance of twenty taels of silver for the ointment, and then used two silver dimes to pay for the consultation fee and medicine.
"After the first month, please bring us another thirty boxes of this ointment." Before leaving, Ye Anlan gave another thirty taels of silver to the old doctor, and ordered the next batch of scar removal ointment with him.
Both Ye Jinkui and Li Shi were shocked by Ye Anlan's generosity, but neither of them asked Ye Anlan in front of the old doctor.
Saying goodbye to the old doctor, everyone walked out of the hospital carrying medicine bags.
Going to more than fifty taels at once, Mrs. Li, who was sitting in the bullock cart, couldn't help but gasped, feeling that the money was too much to spend.
"If you can't help but spend it, then earn more." Ye Anlan has never had the habit of digging and searching in her life, and she prefers to rack her brains to make money rather than rack her brains to save money.
"You child, money is not so easy to earn." Li patted his daughter on the back lightly, with a tone of nine parts pampering and one part reproach.
Ye Anlan looked innocent, "Isn't it easy to make money?"
Li Shi: .
Thinking about the two windfalls his family made recently, Mrs. Li was speechless.
Ye Anlan smiled secretly, she turned her head and blinked at the little Doudings, "Come on, big sister will take you to a restaurant!"
A few xiaodouding cheered loudly, but Ye Jinkui looked at Ye Anlan's back with a troubled expression.
"Dad?"
"It's okay." Ye Jinkui wiped his face, and pulled the little girl to follow the eldest girl.
Last night, when Ye Anlan said that she would come to the county seat, Ye Jinkui reminded her to remember to buy another jade pendant to take home, but Ye Anlan flatly rejected his proposal.
Ye Anlan did the calculation for him. She did the calculation very quickly, her mouth was babbling like a machine gun, and Ye Jinkui didn't even realize what she had put into the calculation, and whether the calculated number was correct.
The only thing he was impressed with was the conclusion that Ye Anlan reported with a calm face - we don't have the spare money to throw it away.
Ye Jinkui felt that her daughter's consumption concept was very problematic. She called it "reckless throwing money" when buying jade pendants, but she felt that it was only right and necessary to take her family to eat out.
The honest man Ye Jinkui wanted to persuade him a few words, but Ye Anlan was determined to make this happen. She used her eloquent tricks, ahem, lobbying skills, and after a while, she just subconsciously nodded in agreement with what Ye Jinkui said.
"Here comes a mutton pot, a sauced elbow, a steamed pork ribs, a chicken stewed with mushrooms, a sauerkraut stewed white meat, and a braised lion's head."
Ye Anlan specializes in ordering meat dishes, and every time the name of the dish is reported, the saliva of several small ones will flood with it. Zheng Fengshou is the most exaggerated, and Ye Anlan can even hear the sound of him swallowing.
Considering that everyone's appetite is not small, and it is rare to have a good meal, in addition to these, Ye Anlan also ordered a large bowl of steamed buns as a staple food.
Looking at Ye Anlan's and the others' clothes, they thought it was just a small business, but in the end they unexpectedly entertained a group of rich customers. I gave them two small dishes of pickles.
