I was divorced because I got pregnant during the lean years, so I went back to my parents’ home and

Ji Xiaobei shook his sleeves and said with a smile: "Don't look at it, there is nothing on my body anymore, only the flesh is left!"

The aunts chuckled and reached out to take the cakes.

Just when the cakes on the table were almost distributed, Fu Jichang came back with a few bags of snacks.

The pastries bought in town are not as exquisite, but they are bigger and the people behind are very happy.

It was Ah Yun's turn. She glanced at the cakes on the table.

He said dissatisfiedly: "Ji Xiaobei, we who are at the back are at a disadvantage. This pastry doesn't look good at all."

The mother-in-law standing behind her reached out and slapped her: "Shut your stinky mouth!"

After saying that, he grabbed two and pushed Ah Yun away while scolding, "You are just here to make up the numbers. Eat it if you want or not..."

The grandfather's face turned cold, and he carefully wrapped the gift in paper, muttering, "It's a pie in the sky, but you are so picky..."

Erya wrapped a scarf around half of her face tightly. She lowered her head, reached out to take a piece, and left.

When Erya's mother saw Ji Xiaobei's bright face, she couldn't hold back her anger anymore.

"It's just a piece of crappy cake, but you really think you are the Bodhisattva Guanyin who has come down to earth..."

The old man on the side heard it clearly, and he raised his cane and hit Wang Fuyou.

Wang Fuyou was caught off guard and screamed when he was hit.

"What are you doing, Patriarch?" Wang Fuyou asked with a frown in pain.

"Go back and take care of your wife. If you cause trouble again, I will beat you!" The old man's face was full of anger.

Wang Fuyou curled his lips and didn't dare to speak.

My grandfather has been a living god in the village all his life, and no one dared to contradict him.

Wang Fuyou looked at his wife nervously, fearing that something might happen again.

With so many people watching, Erya's mother didn't dare to go too far and stopped talking.

Everyone got a share of wedding cakes, and there were still about ten pieces left on the table.

Lin rushed over, hugged Ji Xiaobei in her arms and said, "Okay, I'll put away the rest."

On the other hand, all the old women and girls in the village who had needles and thread went to Haixia to sign up.

The old women watched Haixia write stroke by stroke and were so anxious that sweat broke out on their heads. They wished they could snatch the pen from his hand and write their own names first.

Ji Xiaobei asked Ma Haixia to pause for a moment.

"Aunts, our handicraft shop is recruiting embroiderers and seamstresses, and we have some requirements..." Ji Xiaobei stepped onto the big rock again.

The old women all looked down at their hands, sighed, and then pushed their daughters and daughters-in-law forward.

Strait lady, look at their hands one by one.

The old woman with deformed joints and large cracks on her bones took the initiative to move back.

Only those young people with suitable hands and who can embroider can register with the Strait.

Those who can do needlework should go to register with Fu Jichang.

After a screening process, only about twenty people registered.

The others gathered around and asked Ji Xiaobei jokingly.

"Bei, when can you find us some work to do, even for clumsy people?" asked Ji Sannai quickly and with a smile.

"Third Aunt, after our shop opens, I will go to the capital to see if there is any business suitable for us." Ji Xiaobei said with a smile.

At this time, several people hurried over from a distance.

Aunt Song pulled on the corner of Lin's clothes and said, "The people from your old house are here!"

Lin was just wondering why she didn't see anyone from the old house when she was distributing wedding cakes.

Here it comes!

"Eldest daughter-in-law, why didn't you tell us earlier that you were going to distribute wedding cakes? No one in our family knew about it..." Old Mrs. Ji was panting, followed by her two sons, two daughters-in-law, and a few children in tattered clothes.

"Everyone in the village knows about it, and I didn't even notify every household!" Ji Xiaobei said with a sneer.

"Eldest wife, take out the wedding cakes. The remaining ones are from the old house." Old Mrs. Ji glared at Lin fiercely.

She heard on the way here that there were still a lot of wedding cakes left.

Lin changed her usual cowardice and stepped forward and said, "Mom, the wedding cakes have been distributed, there are no more!"

"No more, bah. I saw your eldest cousin coming back with a bag. What? They've all been distributed!" said Old Mrs. Ji gritting her teeth.

Ergou's wife looked down on those shabby wedding cakes. She said, "Sister-in-law, you have to understand that we are a family.

Why are you letting Ji Xiaobei go his own way? Our shop is open now, and if we need to find someone, we have to look among our family members first."

Ji Ergou followed up and said, "That's right, sister-in-law, my brother is not at home.

The men in our family are me and my third brother. If you have any problems, come to us.

After all, my cousins ​​are outsiders, and I'm always worried about handing money and other things over to them."

Ji Xiaobei: Bah! If I hand it over to you, it will be like throwing meat buns at a dog.

Lin: Bah! Bullshit!

When Lin saw the old lady Ji's face, she felt a little scared.

She said: "This shop is run by Xiaobei alone, I am just helping out, if you have any problem, go to Xiaobei!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Second uncle is right. It is more reassuring to run the shop with our own family.

My shop has many customers. They have to pay for buying cloth, silk thread, tassels and buttons.

Now I owe 100 taels of silver to the county shop. Your uncle and aunt can take care of it if they want.

You take 20 taels first, and Uncle San and Aunt San also take 20 taels, and I’ll pay for the rest…”

Before Ji Xiaobei finished speaking, Ergou's wife and Sanhu's wife gasped.

I cursed in my heart: TND, dream on!

Old Lady Ji coughed and said, "Your second uncle and third uncle's families don't have that much money.

You can arrange for them to do some work, and pay them one tael of silver per person per month."

Ergou and Sanhu both nodded, and the two wives were also very satisfied. Their mother still had more ideas.

Lin was so angry that she was about to smoke. The shop hadn't even opened yet, but her own family members came to make trouble first.

Lin said angrily, "No, we'll give you all the money we earn from the shop this month. Otherwise, we won't open the shop anymore and you can run it."

"Sister-in-law, don't get excited. Now that Ergou and Sanhu are here, maybe we can make some money." said Ergou's wife.

Lin's legs went limp, he leaned back, rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground with a thud, fainting.

"Oh... Xiaobei's mother, what's wrong with you..." The old women were in an uproar.

"Mom, please don't die. We're not going to run this shop anymore, mom..." Ji Xiaobei slapped his thigh, sat down next to Lin and started crying.

The villagers were not afraid that Lin would faint, they were afraid that Ji Xiaobei would really close his shop...

"What do you want to do? You've angered a living person to death. I'll kill you..." Second and Third Grandma Ji rushed up and started arguing with Grandma Ji.
