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

A while ago, he got a lot of wooden toys from somewhere, including wooden horses, spinning tops, towers of Hanoi, wooden dragonflies...

Letting him stay and have some porridge is also a way of thanking him!

……

After Mrs. Liu and her sister-in-law were fired, the workshop became much quieter.

In Aunt Song's words, with two troublemakers gone, my ears are suddenly free.

Liu Hongchou also left.

Aunt Song said that the three of them, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, quarreled for half the night.

Liu Hongchou was so angry that she cried and wanted to go home, but as a woman who had never been out of the house, she was just talking.

There are so many refugees, I really don’t dare to go back by myself.

The three people had no choice but to find work to do.

Thanks to her good skills, Liu Hongchou soon found an embroidery job in a workshop in the south city.

Lian Ye's craftsmanship was not very good and he complained about the low pay.

Her sister-in-law earned 500 coins a month, but she only got 300 coins. She couldn't accept it and had a big quarrel with the manager.

Liu Hongchou was so angry that she started crying again.

Later she went to a dyeing workshop, earning 350 coins a month, but the work was tiring and dirty.

With two daughters-in-law out working, Mrs. Wang was left with nothing to do.

Cook for them both at home.

Jiaojiao spent the whole day in Zheng Dafu Silver Shop, eating and drinking with the ladies and sisters of Anzhou.

A lot of goods were sold while eating and drinking.

After a month, she gave the account book to Ji Xiaobei.

"Sister, guess how much money you make in a month?"

Ji Xiaobei: "Isn't it said that rich people also tighten their belts to make ends meet? As long as you can earn enough to pay the rent, you'll be lucky."

Jiaojiao said, "Humph! There are so many refugees, and it's hard to find work in the city. It affects the poor, but the rich still have to live their lives as usual."

Ji Xiaobei flipped through the account book but couldn't understand it because there were too many words and numbers.

Dazzling!

"Don't keep me in suspense. I can't read a single word. Why are you showing this to me?"

Jiaojiao giggled and said, "Sister, can you count to 0?"

Ji Xiaobei: I still know how to do this!

Jiaojiao flipped through the account book and pointed to the last number and said, "Sister, how many zeros are there after 2?"

Ji Xiaobei took a serious look at it.

"Fuck, I make 2000 taels a month!" She couldn't help but swear.

Jiaojiao didn't understand and puffed out her chest proudly: "We have achieved success in the first month, and we will continue to work hard next month!"

Ji Xiaobei couldn't help but admire you, you are really good at making money.

Jiaojiao: If it weren’t for your cattle, I wouldn’t be able to sell it even if you kill me!

The two women praised each other for a while and went to see the children laughing.

Ji Xiaobei is not at home during the day, and the main people who look after the children are Caixia, Lin Pozi and Heita.

Ji Xiaobei went out early that day, and Jiaojiao packed up and left too.

As usual, the black tower served as the guardian at the door.

Zhengzheng and Guoguo had just learned to run, and they were running around everywhere, chasing the chickens in the yard everywhere. Heita caught one and put it in the chicken coop.

Without noticing, the fence protecting the chicken coop was opened again.

Heita went after him again, and Zhengzheng followed him.

Mrs. Lin and Caixia were cooking in the house. Mrs. Lin was exhausted after chasing the children for a long time. She sat by the fire and kept pounding her waist.

Guoguo strolled into the alley.

Mrs. Gui has been very irritable these days. As soon as the sun rises, she starts to make a fuss in Ji Xiaobei's yard.

During the day, the three children ran, jumped and played in the yard.

The noise gave her a headache.

Landian saw Mrs. Gui rubbing her temples again.

"Madam, they are too noisy. I'll go warn them!" Lan Dian said angrily.

"Have you finished the sugar cake I asked you to make a few days ago?" asked Mrs. Gui.

"It's ready, and the food has been put in. I just don't know when Master Lei will come?" Lan Dian leaned over and whispered in her ear, "The food has been put in, and you will be able to sleep all night after eating."

Mrs. Gui nodded and said, "Give some of the cakes to the two children to prevent them from making a fuss."

Mrs. Gui spoke in a flat tone, with disgust and anger on her face.

Lan Dian hesitated: "If Ji Xiaobei knew about this...it would be terrible. She is very powerful..."

Madam Gui said calmly: "It's just to make them quieter, no one will die!"

Lan Dian turned and went out.

Guoguo was strolling in the alley, with Ji Deyan and Xiao Juanmao following her on her left and right.

"Little baby..." Landian walked over with a smile.

Ji Deyan growled at her with bared teeth, and Guoguo stared at Landian curiously.

"Nini..." Guoguo called sweetly and comforted Ji Deyan with her little hands.

"This sweet cake is for you!" Landian handed Guoguo a round cake.

Guoguo held Ji Deyan with one hand and put the other hand behind her back, not trying to take it.

"Take it. Your mother and I are good sisters. We often drink tea together. Eat this first!" Lan Dian said without hesitation and pulled Guoguo's hand and placed it in her palm.

Hearing her say this, Guoguo felt more relieved and took the pastry.

"Thank you, Ni Ni..."

"Eat!" Landian said impatiently.

Ji Deyan bared her teeth at her, scaring Lan Dian so much that she took a few steps back.

Guoguo held the pastries and shook her head. She wanted to take them back for Zhengzheng and Anan.

"This is for your brother!" Lan Dian put two more pieces in her pocket, "This is for the other child."

Guoguo felt that this aunt was a little scary and couldn't help but take a few steps back.

Ji Deyan pulled Guoguo's clothes and dragged her home.

"Nini, goodbye!" Guoguo turned around and waved to Landian.

Lan Dian took a few quick steps and urged: "Hurry, eat it..."

Guoguo was pulled into the yard by Ji Deyan.

Jiaojiao happened to come back and saw Landian flash into the Magnolia Courtyard.

She cursed: "Whore, not a good thing!"

Indigo slammed the door shut.

When Jiaojiao entered the yard, she saw Xiao Juanmao and Ji Deyan jumping up and down around Guoguo.

"Guoer, what's wrong?" Jiaojiao picked her up and asked.

Guoguo stretched out her little hand and handed the cake to Jiaojiao: "Ni Ni, you eat it!"

Jiaojiao saw that the cake was not made by Caixia, so she asked curiously, "Where did it come from?"

"Nini gave it to me..." Guoguo said in a baby voice.

"Which Ni Ni?" Jiaojiao felt bad.

She just saw Lan Dian hurried back to the yard with a flustered look on her face, unlike before when she would glare at her with a frown.

Guoguo pointed with her little hand in the direction of Magnolia Courtyard.

Jiaojiao took the pastry from her hand and took out two from her pocket.

"Were they all given to us?" she asked in surprise.
