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

After that day, Xie Jiaojiao felt relieved as she saw Sun Ruhua's spirits were getting better and better every day.

Sun Ruhua was very sorry: "Because of my mother, I didn't have a good New Year."

Xie Zhiyi went to Sun Ruhua's arms and acted like a spoiled child: "I hope Mom gets better. I'm really worried that Mom will be upset and won't want me and my sister anymore."

Sun Ruhua touched Xie Zhiyi's head lovingly and said, "Don't worry, no matter what, mother will wait until our Zhiyi grows up, gets married and has children."

Xie Zhiyi blushed: "What are you talking about, mother? It's too early for me."

When talking about this, Sun Ruhua raised her head and looked at Xie Jiaojiao: "Yesterday, your Aunt Wang told me that one of her nephews is willing to meet now, and she wanted to ask about our time."

Xie Jiaojiao was selecting soybeans and shook her head. "Come on, mom, let's forget it. It's been so long, maybe they have no other options and are thinking of us again. There's nothing good about marrying into a family like this."

Sun Ruhua thought it made sense: "Then I will reject your Aunt Wang tomorrow. We will slowly see each other. We should still look for someone with good character. We won't look for someone who is so messed up like this."

"That's the truth."

Sun Ruhua smiled and said to Xie Zhiyi, "Okay, go and have fun. I still have to carry the ashes from the stove to the fields to scatter. Spring is coming soon, and we'll be busy then."

As Sun Ruhua spoke, she went to the kitchen carrying the basket on her back.

Xie Jiaojiao continued to select soybeans. She had been thinking about how to make money recently. She had thought of a way before, but she didn’t know if she remembered it correctly, so she thought of trying it with the soybeans at home first. If it really worked, she would just sit back and wait to make a lot of money.

Seeing that Sun Ruhua was busy, Xie Zhiyi helped Xie Jiaojiao pick soybeans. While picking, he asked Xie Jiaojiao, "Sister, what is this used for?"

"You'll know later. When I make money, I'll build a big house for our family. When Zhiyi grows up, I'll find him a beautiful wife, okay?"

Xie Zhiyi nodded seriously: "That's definitely possible."

This made Xie Jiaojiao laugh out loud.

Sun Ruhua went out with the backpack, and Xie Jiaojiao started to prepare lunch. After lunch, the family went to the fields to weed. Xie Jiaojiao looked at the two acres of sugarcane fields. Sugarcane seedlings had already grown in some places. If things go well, it will be a good income by this winter.

Sun Ruhua smiled and said, "It feels like the plants are basically growing. Tomorrow, mom will bring two more buckets of manure water to sprinkle on them. They may grow even better."

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and nodded: "Then I'll be very tired by then."

"This thing can make so much money, who would complain about the hard work?"

Xie Jiaojiao smiled and said nothing. In the blink of an eye, spring came.

There is farming everywhere. There is only one cow in the whole village, which belongs to Uncle Li. Every household is waiting for this cow to plow the fields.

During the busy farming season, basically no one in the village would go to the town to attend the market, so Grandpa Li had one less way to make money. Therefore, during this period, Grandpa Li would rent the cow to the villagers for five cents a day, and they would just be responsible for feeding the cow.

Many people in the village are willing to rent oxen to plow the fields. After all, it takes an ox half a day to plow the fields, while manual labor may take several days to dig, which is not cost-effective. The men in the village all want to plow the fields as soon as possible so that they can find some work in the town. Working in the town can earn fifteen cents a day, and everyone knows how to count and make a living.

Xie Jiaojiao and her family also wanted to rent a cow, but even if they rented the cow, they couldn't plow the field. So they thought, if they rented a cow, could Uncle Li help plow the field at home? They were willing to pay ten cents more a day and provide lunch.

Uncle Li was of course happy. Seeing that his own land had been plowed, Sun Ruhua breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Now we just have to wait to plant the rice in the field."

Xie Zhili's family also knew about this matter, and Xie Zhili was so angry that he got very angry in the house.

"If they can't plow the fields, they can ask me to do it. I can earn ten cents a day, but outsiders are making all the money. That Li guy boasts in the village all day long that Xie Jiaojiao and her friends plow the fields and have meat for lunch for two days. It really makes me so angry!"

Zhou Cuihong could only listen and couldn't say anything. She was getting heavier now and just wanted to take good care of the baby in her belly. She could think about other things after she gave birth to this baby.

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, Xie Zhili felt bored and stopped talking.

In the Xie family's yard, there are still traces of fire in the main house. After such a long time, Xie Zhili and Zhou Cuihong have not cleaned it up properly. It still looks like a ruin.

Xie Jiaojiao's business with Qingfenglou is becoming more and more stable. Although the winter solstice has passed and fewer people are drinking mutton soup, some families have gotten used to eating fermented tofu with rice this winter. Therefore, Qingfenglou still basically places an order for a fixed batch of fermented tofu from Xie Jiaojiao every month for diners in the store to buy, and makes a profit from the difference.

That day, Xie Jiaojiao said to Sun Ruhua at the dinner table: "Mom, let's go to the town to buy some more salt tomorrow."

"Isn't there still salt in this house?"

“There’s not enough at home.”

Sun Ruhua wanted to say, isn't the fermented tofu for next month already ready? But she didn't say it.

She found that her daughter Jiaojiao had grown up and had her own ideas about everything. If she asked too many questions, it would be bad.

The next day, the family went to town.

Sun Ruhua took Xie Zhiyi to buy spring clothes. In the past six months, Xie Zhiyi has grown very fast, and last year's clothes were too short and could not fit him at all.

Xie Jiaojiao took the silver to buy salt, but she felt that she must have not checked the almanac before going out today. When she arrived at the salt shop, she saw Jiang Weinan coming out of the gambling house not far away, and the two looked at each other.

Jiang Weinan looked listless at first, but when he saw her, his eyes widened immediately.

Before Xie Jiaojiao could even buy some salt, she turned around and ran away with the basket.

Jiang Weinan and his two followers chased after her, but after chasing for two blocks, Xie Jiaojiao still ran away.

One of the men gritted his teeth and cursed: "Fuck, this girl must be a dog, she runs so fast!"

Jiang Weinan was also running out of breath, and asked the man next to him: "Last time I asked you to find out about this girl, how did you do?"

He Hu waved his fan, took a deep breath and replied: "I've found out... I've found out almost everything. Since you were not in town during the New Year, I didn't have time to tell you!"

Then he told Jiang Weinan what he had found out.

After listening to this, Jiang Weinan snorted coldly: "Next time, let's go directly to her village to block her! I wonder where she will run to!"

He Hu was a little surprised when he heard this: "Weinan, are you really going to fight with a girl? Are you...?"

Before he finished speaking, another person next to Jiang Weinan started laughing.

Jiang Weinan kicked him and said, "What are you laughing at! What are you thinking about? I wonder if you will be convinced if that little bitch blocks you in the alley and beats you up."

When the two heard him say this, they realized that they were still angry about the last incident. They looked at each other and held Jiang Weinan's shoulders: "In this case, today is worse than tomorrow. Today, we brothers will help you block that little girl on the road and let you take care of her."

Jiang Weinan yawned and waved the folding fan in his hand: "I'm not going today. I gambled all night yesterday and I'm very sleepy now. I'll go back and catch up on some sleep first."

After saying that, the man turned and left, and the two immediately followed him.
