Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

This is someone else's family affair, and Cheng Suying would not interfere.

Anyway, they will be paid for work in a few days, and they can still take care of themselves by eating with their daughter these days.

But Jiang Shuimei was very worldly-wise and she borrowed some money from a woman she worked with, so Cheng Suying didn't have to worry about buying groceries or cooking.

Later, Jiang Shuimei's brother and sister-in-law came to make trouble again. It turned out that Jiang Shuimei insisted on divorce, so Zhang Ji detained the two children and did not allow them to work at their uncle's house anymore.

The brother and sister-in-law were unwilling to lose two free laborers, so they came to make trouble for Jiang Shuimei.

Another quarrel was inevitable, and this time the women in the workshop also joined in, and the brother and sister-in-law returned home in disgrace.

Finally, he had no choice but to hire the two children for a low salary.

Fortunately, they were all experienced in the job and the cost was much lower than hiring someone else. It was just a bargain for Zhang Ji, who got some money and continued to lie dead at home.

Jiang Shuimei knew about it, but she didn't say anything. Sometimes when the ladies chatted with each other, they couldn't help but sigh. She just said:

“They didn’t want to come out with me that day, so now it’s just their fate.”

When Du Wenxiu heard this, she couldn't help but tell Yue Niang: "There are still too few women in this world who are as clear-headed as this one."

Yue Niang laughed and said, "Does it mean that only when all women leave men can we be sober?"

"What do you mean by that?" Du Wenxiu said unhappily, "This world is unfair to women. If you work outside, you will be exposed to the public."

"But if I marry a man who doesn't strive for progress, will I just have to live on the cold wind at home?"

"You come out to earn money, but then you have to go home and get beaten. What's the point? There are only a few women who are as resolute as her."

Yue Niang listened and thought for a while before she said, "If you don't tie yourself up to rules and regulations..."

"The world will impose rules and regulations on you. It's great if you can live freely within these rules and regulations." Du Wenxiu sighed.

In fact, aren't they the same?

Even when hiring a male servant to guard the house, they had to avoid the fact that there was no male owner in the house, so they invited Fan Zhao to keep things under control.

However, relatively speaking, they have relied on their own brains and hard work to live a life that is very different from before.

——Live freely within the rules and regulations, that’s it for now.

When they got home, everyone talked about Jiang Shuimei with admiration, except A'luo, who felt sorry for her two children, who had to support Zhang Ji at such a young age.

"My aunt, what you said is wrong." Du Wenchan said:

"Didn't Jiang Shuimei ask them? Seeing her mother in such a state, she still persuaded her to go home. Is this what a child should do?"

A Luo sighed: "Maybe he just wants a home with both a father and a mother."

Du Wenchan shook her head: "If my aunt was beaten like that, I would not be able to feel heartache, I would hate the person who beat her to death, how could I regard him as my father?"

After hearing this, A Luo felt sad.

The two mothers have different personalities and characters, so it is inevitable that they do something dirty every day.

But no matter what, blood is thicker than water. You care about me and I care about you.

"If the parents are unkind, the children will be unfilial. But Jiang Shuimei works every day to support the family, while Zhang Ji lies dead at home every day. If the children are sensible, they will never say such words."

"It can be seen that he has already lost his mind and wisdom, so that Jiang Shuimei can continue to work like a slave for that family."

Everyone was silent and could only sigh.

The next morning, Du Wenxiu went to Wenyue Tower first. It was as lively as the day before.

She and Yue Niang sat in the same position as yesterday, looking at the crowd below.

"If the number of customers remains like this for three days, I'm afraid we will suffer a lot of losses." Yue Niang said with a smile.

Du Wenxiu asked: "Can we have a small meeting in the evening? What do the shopkeeper and the waiter say?"

"The shopkeeper said that the guests were very satisfied with the food and drinks. He also said that there were some dishes that they had never eaten before, and they didn't know what they were made of until they put them in their mouths."

"The waiter was also called here and there. Fortunately, he had practiced before, so he could answer the customers' questions."

"And the newly opened pickle window is also very interesting to everyone. We sold dozens of jars yesterday."

When talking about yesterday, Yue Niang smiled happily.

When doing business, the biggest fear is that no one knows that your product is good. Now you can increase its popularity. Even if only one tenth of it remains in the future, it will be enough for them to make money.

Du Wenxiu looked downstairs carefully and said, "We still need to hire more people, and let the waiter do part-time work delivering food to boost the takeaway business."

Yue Niang nodded and said, "Families like yours and Lu Sangui's are good at buying vegetables from restaurants. If you can help them, I'm afraid their business will be good and they can afford to support a few people."

"Well, but we should both stay out of public view. When Young Master Chi comes back, we'll ask him to show up more often. If business is good, there will be more people who are jealous." Du Wenxiu thought.

As soon as he finished speaking, he heard the clatter of horses and carriages below, and someone lifted the curtain of a carriage and shouted, "What are you doing in front of you? Move aside quickly, you are blocking my way, are you asking for a beating?"

Yue Niang quickly tilted her head to look, and saw a carriage coming from the east. The road was very wide over there, but half of its body was facing the crowd surrounding the stage. The driver was whipping the people away.

Du Wenxiu frowned and cursed: "What a murderer! Where did this playboy come from to wield a whip against the people?"

For a moment, no one could dodge and ended up getting whipped a few times.

Some people were annoyed, but looking at the gorgeously decorated carriage and the obscure totems on the corners, they were afraid that it had a great history.

I could not help but endure the pain, swallow my words, and avoid mentioning it aside.

As a result, the courtesan's singing and dancing stopped, and the crowd below became a scene of chaos.

It was dinner time at this time. Du Wenxiu looked at the carriage, frowned and said nothing.

A breeze blew by, lifting a corner of the car window curtain, revealing a familiar face.

Du Wenxiu hurriedly pulled Yue Niang to see: "Wu Ziwei!"

It turned out that the person sitting inside was Wu Ziwei, the owner of Wu’s Pickle Shop.

It was a quick glance and he couldn't see clearly, but Du Wenxiu saw the face clearly.

However, she was still dressed as a country girl the last time she came. Now she is sitting in such a gorgeous carriage, and looking at her long black hair tied up at the back of her head, she is actually married?

Du Wenxiu was full of doubts and discussed with Yue Niang for a while. Then the two of them called the waiter and asked him to go to the countryside to find out about the situation of Wu's pickle shop.

Downstairs, there was a lot of noise and a commotion had already started.

Shopkeeper Lin went to try to stop the fight with a smile on his face, but the two started arguing and pushed him aside. If someone hadn't reached out to help him, he would have fallen flat on his face.

Du Wenxiu frowned, thinking about how to deal with the situation, when she suddenly saw a few more people coming from the east. The corners of her mouth curled up slightly, then she sat back down with peace of mind.

Yue Niang saw that she seemed to be confident in her decision and felt puzzled. She asked her but she didn't say anything and instead pointed in that direction.

Yue Niang looked in the direction she was looking and suddenly realized what was going on, thinking that she was the evil one.

"It's not that I'm bad. I think they just want to disrupt my business, so they come here to cause trouble."
