A small breakfast shop in the street market, supporting the family and making money

After making up her mind, Wang Shiliu created several chance encounters, which naturally made Sun Caiwen fall in love with her.

After she asked about Sun Caiwen's family background, she vaguely told him about her situation in the Wang family and how wealthy the Wang family was.

Wang Shi acted like Liu was very pitiful, and Sun Caiwen was overwhelmed with protectiveness, telling her not to be afraid and that he would go to the Wang family to propose marriage right away.

Wang Shuqing was naturally dissatisfied with Sun Caiwen. He knew the difference between a little boy student and a big man who could help his family business.

Therefore, he immediately ordered people to drive Sun Caiwen out, but as luck would have it, Sun Caiwen did not give up and came to propose marriage for the second time.

At that time, Wang Shuqing had just received a letter from the old widower, who told him that he had found a second wife whom he fell in love with at first sight, and that the marriage with his daughter should be put on hold for the time being. If it really didn't work out, he could send her to be a concubine.

After reading the letter, Wang Shuqing was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He was really angry and annoyed.

An old widower had originally planned to give his beautiful daughter to him as his second wife, but in the end she suddenly became his concubine.

Although he needed help from others, he couldn't slap himself in the face like this.

Just at this time he heard a servant come to report that Sun Tongsheng had come to propose marriage again, so he went to meet him with reluctance.

After thinking it over for a while, Wang Shuqing finally thought that since he was a scholar, if he could train him well, he might have great luck and be able to use it for his own benefit. After thinking it over again and again, he accepted the marriage.

"Miss, why are you here? It's so hard for me to find you."

The maidservant came running over, disturbing the calm ripples.

"What's the matter?"

Wang Shiliu suddenly came back to his senses in the mirror and asked.

"Miss Shijiu was walking in the garden just now. When Aunt Mei passed by with the young master, she insisted that Miss Shijiu had bumped into the young master..."

The remaining words and the maid's voice gradually faded.

"Aunt Mei?"

Hearing this, Wang Shiliu curled the corners of her lips in front of the mirror with amusement, "I just turned 20 this year, even though I just turned 20.

"After all, Mei Yi Niang is still two years younger than me. I really don't know why such a young and beautiful girl would make such a fuss just to win the favor of an old man!"

Born in such a family, in a wealthy and powerful family, Wang Shiliu could not afford it and did not want to marry into it, so she wanted to find a small family and live a simple life.

I just don’t know whether she has good vision and whether God will favor her.

With a rumble, thunder exploded in the dark night, and the Leng family members who were about to fall asleep were all startled.

"Oh my, it was fine in the daytime, why did it suddenly thunder?"

Zhang Cui Niang looked at the dark night with a worried look on her face. "Tomorrow we will start digging the foundation. I hope it won't rain too hard."

The auspicious day for starting construction is always calculated. If there is a delay, you will have to wait for several more days.

Leng Yan was also a little anxious, but with the changeable weather, there was nothing she could do and she could only wait until dawn.

When they woke up in the morning, before the roosters started crowing, the Leng family members got up one after another.

Zhang Cuiniang and Leng Xun, together with Leng Su, Leng Huai and Leng Cang, drove a ox cart to take Aunt Liu and her daughter from next door to the shop.

Leng Yan, her grandfather, and the little twins stayed at home to entertain the workers who were building the house today.

Last night's rain only lasted for a while and then stopped, but the sun still rose in the morning.

After all the workers arrived and set up the incense table, Grandpa Leng asked his grandson Leng Qi to light the firecrackers hanging in front of the door.

The crackling sound caused the children to cover their ears and laugh in shock.

Contractor Zhan Hu took the workers, measured the dimensions, determined the location, and started digging the foundation.

In order to ensure its stability, the foundation has to be dug more than one meter high, which is a very physical job.

Fortunately, they recruited thirty villagers from the village to help build the house. Together with Zhan Hu and his son Zhan Jiang, a total of thirty-two people helped with digging, so the speed was quite fast.

Old Man Leng was also helping out. He was really happy that the house was being built.

Leng Yan took her younger brothers and sisters to make some tea, and then went into the city to buy ingredients for lunch.

There was only one ox cart in the family, which was used by his parents. Leng Yan carried the basket on his back and went to the village entrance to use the ox cart.

Mr. Leng was still frightened by the robbery two days ago. Seeing this, he immediately stopped what he was doing and wanted to go along.

Leng Yan waved his hand and said, "Grandpa, it's okay. I will take the oxcart at the entrance of the village this time. There will be many people on the oxcart and it won't be noticeable.

Moreover, the case has just been reported to the authorities, and the government is still searching for them. They certainly won't dare to show up for the time being.

Besides, we can’t leave here without people, and I can go there and come back quickly by myself.”

Leng Yan was telling the truth. Even if she encountered a bad guy, it might be easier for her to deal with him alone.

After hearing her say this, Mr. Leng finally felt relieved.

When Leng Yan was about to leave with the basket on his back, he suddenly remembered something and called his younger brothers and sisters over.

It is not easy to prepare a big pot meal for more than 30 people. With just the siblings, it would take a long time just to wash and cut.

So she said, "Qi'er, go to Grandma Lin's house later and weigh some tofu for lunch."

After she handed over the copper coin, she turned around and echoed:

"He Jie'er, go to Aunt Yuemei's house and ask her if she's willing to help with cooking. Tell her that it was me who asked you to give her twenty copper coins a day for lunch.

Uncle Tiezi is also building a house at our house. When it’s time for lunch, we can ask Aunt Yuemei’s children to come over to eat, so we don’t have to go home and cook alone.”

"okay."

The two little ones responded obediently and waited for her next instruction.

Seeing this, Leng Yan thought for a moment and said, "Wait for the two of you to come back, then go to the backyard and pick some more peppers, wash them, and wait for me to come back."

After explaining everything, Leng Yan felt at ease and carried the basket into the city.

She strolled around the West Market, bought some pork and pork bones, then went to the grain store to buy some white and mixed flour. Finally, she went to the medicine store, thought about the recipe for sour plum soup, and grabbed a few packets.

Although the weather is not too hot now, the workers are thirsty and hot after a busy day. If they can drink some sour plum soup to relieve heat and fatigue, they can work more efficiently.

After paying the copper coins and taking the items, Leng Yan ran into an acquaintance when he walked out of the pharmacy.

"Oh, little girl, I had such a hard time looking for you. I didn't expect to run into you here."

"Boss Shen!"

Looking at the woman in front of him, Leng Yan was extremely surprised.

Seeing that she still recognized him, Shen Fuqing couldn't help but slap his thigh and said, "It's me! It's been several months since you came to my shop to sell clam oil that day."

She had bought those ten boxes of clam oil for three taels of silver, and she sold them for more than six or seven times the price.

But she made a small profit, and everyone who used it said it was good and wanted to buy large quantities from her.

But she had no goods, and she had a lot of money but couldn't make any money, which made her very anxious.
