Soul: At the beginning, the father died, and the eldest and second brothers wanted to separate the f

Because there was a lot of demand for duck down, Xie Jiaojiao also collected ducks from the villagers.

At the beginning of the year, because of duck eggs, many people in the village raised ducks, and the duck eggs were sold to Niu Er. Although they were a little cheaper, it was also a source of income, wasn't it?

Besides, the weather is cold now, and the ducks don’t lay many eggs, and it costs food to keep them, so everyone is happy to sell them to Xie Jiaojiao.

After all, she had never let the villagers suffer losses in selling things to her.

Mrs. Wu raised about ten cats at home and asked her old man to send them to Xie Jiaojiao.

I was so happy after receiving the money.

"Jiaojiao, do you want these ducks next year? If so, I'll raise some more next year."

"Then Aunt Wu has to raise more of them."

With Xie Jiaojiao's words, there was no need to wait until next year. After Aunt Wu returned home and put down her things, she went to Niu Er's house to buy a duckling.

Xie Jiaojiao gathered all the people in the family who knew how to do handicrafts to make quilts together.

Liu Mingyue also came to help. Knowing that Xie Jiaojiao was going to use the quilts to do business, everyone worked very hard. However, Xie Jiaojiao did not let them suffer any loss. Fifty cents for sewing a quilt was considered a high price in the village.

After making the quilt, Xie Jiaojiao looked at the rabbit fur and came up with an idea. She drew a lot of fur collar styles and showed them to Jiang Weinan: "Do you think it would be easier to sell if we make rabbit fur into fur collars like these?"

Jiang Weinan took a look and said: "These styles of yours do look unique, but they are not sewn on the clothes, but are directly tied around the neck like this?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded: "The weather is hot and cold, it's not convenient to sew it on clothes, like this. When it's hot, you can take it off, and when it's cold, you can put it on. Isn't it more comfortable?"

She was a person who could not sit still, so she did what she said. She immediately collected the rabbit hair, processed it, and made it into scarves of various styles.

Jiang Weinan looked at him and sighed, "I don't know why you have so many weird ideas in your head."

Xie Jiaojiao only replied: "This is called keeping up with the times and making good use of it!"

When winter comes, it is time to cut the sugarcane in the fields. In addition to those in the village, Xie Jiaojiao has also planted sugarcane on all the farms under Jiang Weinan's name.

When it was time to harvest sugarcane, the village was bustling with busy figures everywhere. Although Xie Jiaojiao had said before that if other people in the village grew sugarcane she would no longer buy it at the previous price, there were still many people who grew this kind of sugarcane.

After all, a little less is a little less, but it is still more money than growing crops!

Except for Niu Er, Xie Zhili, Aunt Wu, and Uncle Wang who bought according to the previous price, the others were all charged the lowest price. Calculated in this way, the income from brown sugar this year is much higher than in previous years, not to mention those on the farm.

As for Xie Jiaojiao, she simply refused to take any sugarcane from Chen Shouren's family!

Wang Qiushi was so angry that she cursed Xie Jiaojiao in the village. Xie Jiaojiao was not a good person and cursed so badly that the people Jiang Weinan sent knocked out her front teeth and threw a tael of silver at her to make her shut up. Finally, she made some soup and sold it in the town. However, her soup was not good and not many people bought it. In the end, she lost all the money.

As soon as Xie Jiaojiao's brown sugar was cooked, Manager Wang sent someone to deliver most of it directly to the capital. Such a precious thing would sell better in the capital.

Gao Shen arrived about the same time and asked for some brown sugar, soy sauce, fermented tofu and the like.

Xie Jiaojiao let him stay for one night and specially provided him with a duck down quilt.

When going to bed at night, Gao Shen felt that the quilt was very thin, but he was embarrassed to ask Xie Jiaojiao to add another one. He thought that at worst he could just make do with it for the night. He never expected that he slept soundly all night and did not feel cold at all. In the morning, the quilt was also warm when he woke up.

"Girl, why is your quilt so warm?"

Xie Jiaojiao then told him the situation in detail, and Gao Shen was extremely surprised.

"A down quilt?"

Xie Jiaojiao nodded.

Gao Shen only needed to think for a moment before he began to interrogate her: "Sister, how many quilts like this do you have at home?"

Xie Jiaojiao stared at him: "Brother Gao, how much do you want?"

"Hahaha, of course the more the better for me."

Xie Jiaojiao took him to the warehouse and said frankly: "This is all I have. I originally wanted to cooperate with Brother Gao."

Gao Shen looked at the snow-white quilt in front of him and felt that it was all silver.

He immediately asked for all the quilts, because the process of making these quilts was troublesome, especially washing and drying the duck down, which was the most troublesome. Xie Jiaojiao also asked for a high price, saying that it would cost ten taels of silver per quilt, and after careful bargaining, the price was reduced to seven taels and five cents.

Xie Jiaojiao took out the rabbit fur scarf she made herself.

Gao Shen was attracted by the style again when he saw it, not only because of its style, but most importantly because it keeps you warm.

He also took away all the stock in the house.

However, he had not planned for this thing, so he felt embarrassed to buy it on credit from Xie Jiaojiao.

After seeing Gao Shen off, Sun Ruhua asked Xie Jiaojiao, "Will you still pick up the duck down in the future?"

Xie Jiaojiao touched her bulging belly and said, "Of course I want it."

Sun Ruhua took note of it.

As soon as Gao Shen left, it was the end of the year.

Xiaoxiao can walk now, but she is still not steady. Jiang Weinan stays with her all day, afraid that she might fall.

From time to time, I would call dad and mom.

Every time Liu Mingyue saw Wang Xiuer and Xie Jiaojiao's bellies, she was envious, but she didn't show it.

That day, Xie Zhili thought for a long time and finally said to her: "Mingyue, it's the end of the year, why don't we adopt a child." He was not worried about himself, but he was a few years older than Liu Mingyue. What he was afraid of was that if he passed away in the future, Liu Mingyue would have no one to rely on.

Liu Mingyue nodded with tears in her eyes.

Xie Zhili held her hand and said, "It's all my fault. I'm sorry for putting you through this."

Liu Mingyue shook her head and blinked: "What are you talking about?"

The next day, Xie Zhili asked someone to inquire about the matter. When Sun Ruhua found out that he was asking about the adoption, she also sighed.

Xie Jiaojiao comforted her: "Actually, there's nothing wrong with adopting a child. After raising him well, he will eventually be filial to them."

Sun Ruhua just sighed and said nothing.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, Manager Wang came and brought some things and a letter.

Xie Jiaojiao took a look and said, "Mom, Zhiyi wrote this."

After saying that, he read it to Sun Ruhua.

Xie Zhiyi said in the letter that he was living very well in the capital, and the Empress took good care of him. She had promoted his rank a few days ago and his salary had increased a lot. He also said that he had not been filial to Sun Ruhua for so many years, and that he was unfilial. He also said that if possible, he would like to bring his mother to the capital. He also bought a small courtyard in the capital this year so that she would have a place to live when she came.

Sun Ruhua was so happy when she heard this that her eyes turned red.

"I didn't expect Zhiyi to be so competitive."

"He is so motivated, why are you still sad? This is a good thing, we should be happy."

Sun Ruhua nodded.
