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

When Ji Xiaobei heard the shouting, he ran out in two steps at a time.

She helped Huang Po into the house.

"Don't worry, Mrs. Huang. It's all because Xiaobei didn't explain it to you clearly. Now that you've come to Anzhou, I don't have time to see you! Let's eat first. Caixia, get the bowls and chopsticks for Mrs. Huang and Mr. Lian..."

Only after hearing that Ji Xiaobei was there to help did Huang Po feel at ease and eat two bowls of porridge.

After dinner, Ji Xiaobei took out some books and gave them to Lian Feng.

She didn't know how to make insecticide either. She looked at the methods in the book and tried them one by one. If he couldn't make it, there was nothing she could do.

Lian Feng was overjoyed and went to study it.

Ji Xiaobei asked Xiaozhuo to pull a truck of pesticides to the field.

Xiao Zhuozi and Huang Po didn't think it was strange.

Ji Xiaobei always comes up with something extraordinary. Since it is good for me, why bother about it?

What does the boss’s business have to do with me?

……

The court had just quelled a rebellion, and after Fu Jichang went to court that day, he never returned to Anzhou.

Ji Xiaobei was busy with household chores.

After Liang Yuyao was frightened, she was bedridden and Mrs. Huang came to see her.

Your body is still too weak, you need to take good care of yourself.

The baby is due in just a month, so there can’t be any mistakes.

Liang Yuyao was recuperating at home, and Mrs. Lin was taking care of her.

Liang Yuyao was in charge of all the work in the shop, as Shitou was unable to handle it all by himself.

Ji Xiaobei could only go to the shop to help.

Zhengguo shop had dealings with many cloth shops in the capital.

Zhengguo’s shop is small and it produces only a few styles of fabrics.

The garment shop needs other styles of fabrics and needs to purchase them from other fabric shops.

Sometimes, in order to reduce costs, we would go to the south to import the latest styles of fabrics.

Song Laohei and Shugen were the ones who went to the south to purchase goods, along with a few others.

I've been there twice and I'm pretty familiar with the route.

Ji Xiaobei suddenly had an idea. Since he was going to the South anyway, why not buy some other things?

Shugen: "Xiaobei, apart from the fabric, I don't understand anything else."

Shugen was shocked by the idea that Ji Xiaobei came up with on the slap of his forehead.

Even when importing fabrics, he was trembling with fear, fearing that the goods would be difficult to sell.

I went there twice and it was okay, I sold all of them.

"Uncle Shugen, let's buy some silk, tea and other things at the same time," said Ji Xiaobei.

"No, Xiaobei. The weather in the south is stuffy and humid. We don't know how to store it. If it gets damp and we can't sell it, then we'll lose it, right?"

The tree root was so scared that he waved his hands quickly.

"Yeah, I'll think of a way!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and let them go out.

Ji Xiaobei stayed in the shop for three days, and everyone was very happy.

When the boss is here, I can eat meat every day, which really satisfies my cravings.

Xiaoju quietly pulled Ji Xiaobei: "Sister, you can't eat meat tomorrow. Meat is 20 cents a pound. You have to eat more than ten pounds of meat for this meal!"

Ji Xiaobei smiled and said, "Let's not talk about the meat for now!"

Xiaoju: I just came to talk to you about the meat!

"What are you and Heita going to do?" Ji Xiaobei asked.

Xiaoju blushed immediately: "Sister, you decide for me. If you say yes, I will marry you. If you say no, I won't marry you."

Ji Xiaobei: I can’t make the decision on this matter.

"Then you have to ask yourself, do you like him?" Ji Xiaobei asked the silly girl with a smile.

"Well, he is a nice guy, but mother, mother doesn't want to!"

Xiaoju stammered.

"What?"

"My mother told me to find someone from Anzhou and be a good daughter-in-law from Anzhou."

Ji Xiaobei: "Being a daughter-in-law in the capital is not better than being in Anzhou. Does mother dislike him for not having a proper job?"

Xiaoju bit her lip and nodded.

Although he is now recognized as Fu Jichang's brother, he used to be a servant of the Fu family.

Mrs. Lin wanted Xiaoju to find a decent local man.

Find someone who lives a down-to-earth life, not someone who is always fighting and killing.

Although the man Ji Xiaobei was looking for was a high-ranking official, he was worried every day.

Xiaoju is different from Xiaobei. That child doesn't want to venture out.

Mrs. Lin wanted to find a decent family for her.

But Xiaoju set her sights on the black tower.

With Fu Jichang around, Mrs. Lin couldn't tell Heita in person.

I can only nag Xiaoju every day.

"It would be fine to let Heita do business with you! He doesn't have a proper job right now." Ji Xiaobei suggested, "I'll tell Fu Jichang when I meet him."

Xiaoju nodded.

"Sister, Heita asked me when he bought the house. I said I didn't like a big one, so he bought a small one. He also showed me all the things the emperor gave him as rewards. Last time I went to the capital with Shitou, I also went to his house and hid them again with him. Sister, those things are enough for the two of us to live on for a lifetime."

Xiaoju blushed and spoke out what was in her heart.

"Okay, I understand your thoughts. I'll take care of mother's situation. Also, I'll prepare a dowry for you, and you'll have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Ji Xiaobei touched her head.

After Xiaoju came to Anzhou, she grew taller and became more beautiful.

"Sister, I don't want it. Mom said that this shop belongs to you."

Xiaoju said hurriedly.

"No girl would get married without a dowry. As for the dowry, I will give you one." Ji Xiaobei patted her head.

"Hey, thanks, sis!"

At this time, Xiaohua walked in and saw her eldest and second sisters were in the room, so she hurried out.

"Stop!" Xiaoju said fiercely.

"Have you finished the embroidery I asked you to learn from the aunts?"

"Second sister, it's almost there, almost there!"

Xiaohua tried to run, but Xiaoju grabbed her by the collar.

"You are a lazy person, you are only seven or eight years old, and you still play every day. Let's see what kind of family you will marry in the future!"

"I, it's okay for me to marry Tiedan!" Xiaohua said angrily.

"Tiedan, if I stay with you and do nothing every day, you will starve to death!" Xiaoju shouted.

"Second sister, you look down on me too much. Big sister, you play every day, but you're not starving to death, right?" Xiaohua winked at Ji Xiaobei, begging her to help her out.

Ji Xiaobei: If you say this to the factory, I won’t care about you!

"Xiaohua, what are you busy with every day?" Ji Xiaobei also thought that it was no use ignoring this little sister.

"I'm busy every day..."

"Just not doing your job..." Xiaoju took over the conversation.

"Sister, look at my second sister..." Xiaohua pouted.

"Xiao Ju, you go and do your work. Xiao Hua, come with me to Huang Po's place." Ji Xiaobei held the little sister's hand affectionately.

On the way, Ji Xiaobei asked, "Aren't you following Huang Po to sort out the herbs? Are you learning well?"

"Yes, didn't Huang Po leave? There is no one to take care of me. So, my elder sister and second sister said that I was not doing my job properly. I couldn't help with the things in the shop. They asked me to embroider, but my hands couldn't hold the embroidery needle. Huang Po was not here, so what else could I do if I didn't play?"

Xiaohua argued convincingly and felt very wronged.
