Marrying a village tyrant husband with space, being spoiled by the in-laws

"I was so scared. I don't know where this huge bird came from."

Boss Zhang climbed out of the carport, sat on the ground and gasped for breath, almost spilling bile.

"Where are we now?"

Zhao Laoer looked around and saw that the place was desolate and deserted, with not even a single person around. It was getting dark, and he didn't know what to do.

"Go, go, go, hurry up. If it gets dark, there might be jackals and wolves around, and you won't be able to save your life then."

Wu Gousheng struggled to get up from the ground, limping and covering his crotch, not knowing whether the knife had hurt his vitals.

The three of them could only walk back along the same route they came. It took them more than an hour before they saw a house.

After knocking on the door and asking, they found out that, wow! In just one afternoon, they had traveled across two counties. From Hedong County, they were brought to Hejian County, with Nanqi County in between.

If you walk back on foot, it will take a day and a night to get back. If you walk slowly, it may take two days and a night to get back.

Yu Suihuan, who had already returned home, naturally didn't know that Ermao and Sanmao were so reliable that they sent the two of them thousands of miles away in an instant.

Yesterday, she brought back two wild rabbits and a pheasant from the mountain. They had to be eaten quickly or they would go bad. She pickled the two pheasants with salt and stewed the two wild rabbits into a pot of braised rabbit meat.

After dinner, before it got dark, the family sat in the yard and chatted. Li Chengjin talked about what he had seen and heard in the town today, including the increase in grain taxes.

"These damn officials, we ordinary people grow crops for a year, and when the harvest is good, we can eat enough after paying the grain tax. If the price continues to rise, the remaining food will not be enough for the family to eat. Won't people starve to death?"

Li Zhou gnashed her teeth in hatred.

"We can no longer sell honey apricots in town. Today, when we were setting up a stall, some people targeted us because of the good business. On the way back, they even bothered us. From now on, we will only deliver goods to customers who have placed orders and will not set up a stall anymore."

After hearing Yu Suihuan's words, the family's mood sank to the bottom. They had finally managed to have a profitable business, but now they couldn't do it anymore.

Now the whole family eats meat every day, and their tastes have become picky. If we go back to eating steamed corn bread and vegetable porridge as before, it will be a bit difficult for us to eat.

Seeing the family's faces full of disappointment, Yu Suihuan hurriedly spoke.

"It's not that the honey apricot business is completely unworkable. We can still deliver goods. The money we earn every day is enough for our family to eat and drink. I will try to research some other food to sell."

She thought about it carefully again. The reason why these honey-glazed apricots are so expensive is because of the sugar. In that dynasty, sugar was a precious thing, so things that used sugar would naturally have high costs.

If they were selling some ordinary food, costing a few cents each, it wouldn't be so eye-catching.

In fact, steamed buns and steamed buns made of fermented dough are good, and they can be sold at the pier. The pier is so long that people come and go every day. Although steamed buns and buns cost only a few cents each, they make a lot of money in a day.

Also, there are a lot of people at the dock, so pushing a small cart back and forth to sell goods is neither conspicuous nor will it attract envy.

She needs to think about this matter again and see what is appropriate to sell.

"We still have over 100 kilograms of apricots left at home. Let's cook them all today."

Zhou Tian will deliver new ones around the day after tomorrow.

"Third sister-in-law, didn't you say that we can't sell them in town? Why do you have to make so many?"

Tao Guihua thought that they wouldn't cook all of it for their family, that would be too extravagant.

Although she also wanted to eat it, that thing was really delicious, sweeter than honey.

"We can't sell it in town, but we can deliver it. Two families have already ordered 50 or 60 cans."

When they heard that someone was buying so much, the whole family became happy again and started working happily.

Some people are washing apricots, some are removing the cores and peeling the apricots, and some are cleaning the jars. The division of labor is clear and everything is in order.

As for the wild peaches and wild cherries, Yu Suihuan could only hide in the space and clean them up secretly. After all, these things had never been taken out, and there was no way to take them out openly.

All one hundred jars were canned, and it took three steamings to make all the cans.

After finishing, Yu Suihuan put the wild peaches and wild cherries into the space, leaving only the apricots outside.

They were busy too late last night, and Li Zhou was reluctant to wake them up the next day.

When the two woke up, there was no one at home. Everyone had gone to the open space outside to grind wheat.

"I can go alone to deliver the goods today, you can take a good rest at home. ...

Li Chengjin didn't want to take Yu Suihuan out. Something like that happened yesterday, and he was afraid that something unexpected might happen if they went out today.

"Okay, you know both Zhu Mansion and Xunfang Pavilion, you can go and send them off yourself."

If I could take a rest, Yu Suihuan wouldn't want to run with them. It's so hot, and the people sitting in the donkey cart are dizzy. Most of the roads in ancient times were dirt roads, which were not flat at all. It was really uncomfortable to ride in a cart, and the experience was extremely bad.

Together, they loaded the fifty-plus cans of food they had ordered into the car. She put the rest into her space, leaving only three cans of apricots for the family to eat together when she returned home in the evening.

Li Chengjin drove the donkey cart out of the house. He did not go directly to the town, but went to Li Gouzi's home in the village.

"Is the dog home?"

Li Gouzi, who was drowsy in bed, heard someone calling him and immediately sat up from the bed. He looked through the window and a look of joy appeared on his face.

"Brother Chengjin, why are you here? You haven't come to play with me for a few days since you got married."

"I'm here to see you. Have you finished harvesting the wheat?"

"It was done yesterday. We only have two or three acres of land. After paying the grain tax, the rest is not even enough for food. I went to Goudan's casino yesterday and played a few games. I heard from the people there that the grain tax will be increased again this year. I don't know if it's true."

"Of course it's true. Yesterday I went to the town to deliver goods. Now you have to pay to go to the town. One cent per person, and two cents for donkey carts."

The two walked out the door side by side.

"What? It costs money to enter the town, and the grain tax is increased. The food we have is not enough to eat. If this happens, won't everyone starve to death in the winter?"

"Want to earn some money?"

"Of course I do. Brother Chengjin, do you have any good ideas?"

Li Gouzi lost all the few hundred coins he had in the casino yesterday.

"Come on, follow me to town."

"Good."

Li Gouzi has been hanging out with Li Chengjin for several years, and the two can be considered close friends.

The two of them drove the donkey cart slowly towards the town. When they passed the ditch from yesterday, Li Chengjin took a special look at it.

There was no trace of the man with the black mole inside, only a large pool of dark red blood. It seemed that he had been rescued by someone.
