Traveling to an ancient peasant family: I got rich by doing business

Han Zheng walked side by side with the village chief and the second great grandfather.

The second great grandfather's face was flushed and his beard was twitching with excitement.

The village chief was still calm. He told Han Zheng about the situation of everyone in the village and expressed his congratulations to Han Zheng.

As for the other villagers, they walked behind the few people, looking at Han Zheng's back, feeling extremely envious.

When Li Yu saw this scene, he did not go up to disturb them, but went to the ancestral hall with Zhou Qinghe and Liu Guilan.

"My second great grandfather said that from now on, everyone in our clan, regardless of gender, will be able to enter the ancestral hall." Zhou Qinghe sighed, "Daughter-in-law Xiu Wen, you have helped us a lot."

Actually, the Han family was not bad before. After she and Guilan married the two brothers Han He and Han Shui, they lived in harmony and were pretty good. But the family was poor, and they could only eat meat a few times a year, and every penny had to be spent carefully.

Moreover, at that time, they were not allowed to enter the ancestral hall, and all major family matters were decided by men. Apart from washing clothes, cooking and coaxing children, they could do nothing else.

Things are different now. They have their own businesses and are more confident. They can participate in making decisions on both big and small matters at home.

If Li Yu hadn't helped them earn money, none of this would have happened.

Li Yu patted the back of Zhou Qinghe's hand and said, "I didn't help much, it was mainly because my sister-in-law was willing to endure the hardship."

It is not easy to run the dim sum business. Lazy people simply cannot bear it. It is only because Zhou Qinghe and Liu Guilan persisted that they have the current situation.

But everyone just needs to understand this, no need to say more.

Ancestor worship in the ancestral hall is a big event, and all the men, women, young and old of the Han family were there.

The second great grandfather, the fifth great grandfather, and the third great grandmother first brought Han Zheng, Li Yu, and Han Xiaomei to pay homage, and then the rest of the people paid homage according to their seniority.

After the worship, the second great grandfather asked people to bring out the snacks and food prepared in advance by the clan and distribute them to the villagers.

Li Yu didn't expect this to happen and asked Zhou Qinghe what was going on.

Everyone moved out a lot of things, and it was probably spent four or five taels of silver.

Zhou Qinghe said: "Brother Zheng won the first place in the imperial examination, and our entire clan is proud of it. Second Great Grandfather said that we should buy some things together to give to the villagers as a celebration.

Don’t worry, after you gave us the sauce recipe last year, everyone has already made some and sold a lot of it.”

After a pause, Zhou Qinghe continued, "You don't know, nowadays, several young men in our clan don't have to worry about finding wives. Matchmakers come one after another, and even the third grandmother's little granddaughter has a young man from the county who wants to marry her. This didn't happen before.

This is all thanks to you and Brother Zheng."

Li Yu pondered for a while, hummed, and then reminded: "Everyone's conditions are good now, but you still have to be careful, especially when getting married. Although family background is important, character must also be good. You can't just look at one side."

"Everyone understands, don't worry."

After Li Yu finished, it was already past noon. Seeing that Han Zheng looked a little tired, the village chief asked him to go home and rest first.

Some villagers wanted to speak up, but the village chief called them back, "Brother Zheng will be in the village for seven or eight days. Why are you in such a hurry? You can take care of your roses instead. Have you sold all your roses?"

When it comes to roses, the villagers immediately stop thinking about it and go home to pick roses.

The price of roses this year is not as good as last year.

Most of the villagers planted roses. It was better when they first bloomed. The rose buds could be sold for three cents apiece in the county, but that only lasted for two days. After everyone's roses bloomed, they could no longer be sold for a good price.

Everyone was reluctant to sell at a low price, so they followed Aunt Wu and the others' example and dried and stored them.

Apart from anything else, you can also make some money by selling the dried roses to passing caravans.

at home.

Li Yu and others sat on the chairs to rest, not moving.

The gifts they brought back were still in the car, but they didn't have the energy to sort them out at the moment, so they could only wait until they had a rest in the evening to do it.

The water on the table was steaming slightly. Li Yu took two sips and said, "After all, passing the imperial examination is a great event. We have to set up a three-day banquet. But it won't work just with us. I've talked to Second Great Grandfather, Uncle Wu, and the village chief. I'll give them some money and they'll arrange for someone to help. We'll set up the banquet outside our clan's ancestral hall. What do you think?"

Han Zheng said: "I have no problem, just follow your arrangement."

Li Yu continued, "I plan to invite a few people from the town and the county to the banquet this time."

Like the mayor, Zhou Laosan, Boss Hu, Boss Wei who sells sesame cakes, and the people from the Jiang family who sell braised meat in the town.

As for the county, even though they had already had a welcoming banquet at the county government office, they still had to invite the county magistrate. Regardless of whether the county magistrate would come or not, their courtesy was in place.

In addition, there are people like He Mengyan and Li Yayi.

Jiang Chengze also needs to send a message over. After all, they are partners and he should be invited.

Han Zheng listened to Li Yu's orderly arrangements and felt that he must have done something good in his previous life, because in this life God arranged for his second sister-in-law to be with him and Xiaomei and save them.

Outside Li Yu's house.

Several villagers hid stealthily behind a tree facing the courtyard gate.

They all have the surname Han, but they are not on the same family tree as Li Yu and his family.

After being rejected by the second great-grandfather in the morning, these people still did not give up and planned to come to Li Yu and Han Zheng in person.

When they arrived at the place, no one dared to step forward.

They all thought of Li Yu's previous behavior.

She is a more powerful person than the second great grandfather. She often sends people to the county government to go to jail. Will she really agree to their request for the whole family to be reunited?

Two of them backed out.

The others were not willing to accept this, so they pulled the two of them aside and said, "Han Zheng is the top scholar. As long as we are on the same family tree with him, we can go out and do things under his name. People outside will also look up to us because of Han Zheng."

The two of them paused and hesitated again, "But Xiu Wen's wife..."

"Who the hell is she? Let's not look for him. Let's look for Han Zheng. Don't forget, you held Han Zheng in your arms when he was little."

Two people: "..."

At this time, a voice suddenly sounded from behind them, "You don't have to waste your energy. Since the Han family has been divided, they will not be reunited again."

Several people stiffened and slowly turned their heads.

Li Yu, Han Zheng, Han Xiaomei, Si'er and Lu Xuan stood at the door. Li Yu looked at them with a calm look in his eyes: "Don't mention the matter of merging the clans anymore. I won't agree to it."

The person behind the tree: “…”

Li Yu continued, "You don't have to go look for Second Great Grandfather again, it's useless. Instead of spending this time, you might as well go home and dry the roses."

"Brother Zheng, I'm your fourth uncle!" A middle-aged man stood up and looked at Han Zheng with a loving face, "I used to..."

"You have never done anything before. Xiaomei and I are not familiar with you." Han Zheng said, "When my parents died, you didn't help. When my second brother died, you didn't help. When my second sister-in-law got into trouble, you were afraid of being blamed and couldn't wait to separate from us. If you were me, would you agree to unite the clan?"

They will definitely disagree!

Several people's faces changed and they couldn't answer a single word.

Li Yu sighed, "As long as you behave yourself, we will treat you as ordinary villagers and won't do anything. So I'll say this one last time, go back and do what you need to do."

Several people looked at each other, then shut up and went home under the calm gaze of Han Zheng and Li Yu.
