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

Back in the room, Li Yu sat down and poured himself some tea.

Han Xiaomei sat down next to him and asked hesitantly, "Second sister-in-law, do we really not care... about the people outside?"

"Do you feel sorry for her?" Li Yu put down the teacup and asked leisurely.

Han Xiaomei shook her head: "Second sister-in-law doesn't like her, so she must be a bad person. There is nothing worthy of pity for bad people, but I am afraid..."

She paused and said, "She is old, and I'm afraid something might happen to her in front of our house." She didn't want to be contaminated by bad luck!

Li Yu almost laughed out loud, and reached out to rub Han Xiaomei's hair, "Don't worry, nothing will happen to her."

A selfish person like Mrs. Zhang wishes she could live a hundred years, so she is reluctant to die.

Han Xiaomei was influenced by Li Yu and calmed down.

After following Li Yu for so long, she is no longer the timid girl she used to be. Now she has only one wish, that is, her family is well. She dislikes anyone who tries to destroy the harmony of the family.

"By the way." Li Yu put down the teacup and tapped the table with his fingers: "The person outside also wants our braised pork recipe. Since she wants it, we will give it to her. I tell you, wait a minute..."

Outside the yard, Mrs. Zhang howled for a long time, and finally shut up when she realized that Li Yu really would not come out.

She sat on the ground angrily thinking about how to get the prescription, when she suddenly heard some noise in the yard.

She was startled, and quickly got up and squatted at the door, looking inside through the crack.

In the yard, Li Yu was sitting on a small stool peeling potatoes, and Han Xiaomei was talking to her while holding a fist-sized cloth bag.

"Second sister-in-law, this is the stewed meat we used the day before yesterday. Do you still need it today?"

Li Yu glanced at the courtyard door calmly and said, "It doesn't smell good anymore. You can throw it away later."

Han Xiaomei nodded.

At the door, Mrs. Zhang listened to the conversation between the two and her eyes gradually widened.

If you can't get the recipe for the braised meat, it's okay to get the ingredients for the braised meat.

Her heart was pounding as Mrs. Zhang looked at the ball in Han Xiaomei's hand as eagerly as if she were looking at her own son.

Inadvertently, Mrs. Zhang looked down and discovered that the door was not locked from the inside.

In other words, she could now push open the door, run in and snatch the braised pork ingredients from Han Xiaomei.

Her hands trembled slightly. After a moment, Mrs. Zhang took a deep breath and pushed the door open. Before Li Yu and Han Xiaomei came over, she rushed over and grabbed the braised meat ingredients in her hands. She moved very fast, and her agility was totally unlike that of a woman in her sixties.

The cloth containing the braised meat ingredients was slightly damp and very uncomfortable to hold, but Mrs. Zhang was extremely excited.

As long as she takes this back and gives it to Boss Huang, she will get twenty taels of silver.

Mrs. Zhang was delighted. Across from her, Li Yu and Han Xiaomei exchanged glances and said sternly, "Why did you steal my things? Give them back to me now!"

"Dream on!" Mrs. Zhang hugged the braised pork bun tightly and backed away while speaking, "What I snatch is mine."

Li Yu looked anxious: "You can't take it away, or I will sue the authorities."

She was so worried that Mrs. Zhang felt more and more that she could not return the braised pork buns.

After looking around quickly, Mrs. Zhang made up her mind and ran out.

Li Yu and Han Xiaomei pretended to chase after him, but Mrs. Zhang was afraid of being caught up, so she ran even faster.

Soon, the three of them chased each other out of the village.

Suddenly, Han Xiaomei screamed and fell to the ground.

Li Yu hurriedly squatted down to help her, "Xiaomei, what's wrong with you?"

Han Xiaomei shouted, "Sister-in-law, my leg hurts. Is it broken?"

When Mrs. Zhang heard this, she looked back and saw Han Xiaomei's face distorted with pain. She was very excited and said, "You two girls should have stayed at home and started a business. You deserve this!"

Li Yu glared at her angrily.

Although Mrs. Zhang wanted to ridicule her a few more times, she was more afraid that she would go crazy, so she ran away with the braised pork bun in a panic.

Han Xiaomei stopped howling until her figure disappeared. Her crying face instantly turned into a smile. "Second sister-in-law, I was pretending just now, wasn't I?"

Li Yu looked at the red marks on her legs and felt so soft-hearted, "Don't add drama to yourself in the future, okay?" Her plan was originally to chase Mrs. Zhang from home, but in order to make it realistic, Han Xiaomei deliberately tripped over a stone on the road and fell.

Fortunately, no one was hurt.

Helping Han Xiaomei up, the two of them walked home slowly.

*

Mrs. Zhang ran in a panic for two miles before stopping. After all, she was old, and after running so far in a short time, her body could not hold on. She slid down the tree trunk and sat on the ground, panting.

After a while, an ox cart came from a distance.

Seeing the car, Mrs. Zhang suddenly gained strength and scolded with full force: "I asked you to wait for me outside the village, where have you been? You useless thing, you can't even do a small thing, do you want to tire me to death?!"

The person pulling the ox cart was a woman. She was not short, but thin, with calluses all over her fingers.

Mrs. Zhang cursed loudly, and the woman was so frightened that she trembled, shrank her head and whispered: "Mom, I'm going to earn copper coins by pulling the cart."

You asked me to do this. The woman considered the latter part of the sentence again and again and did not dare to say it out loud.

Mrs. Zhang then remembered that this was indeed the case, and she continued to curse, "You are so inflexible, you don't know how to check the time. You saw that I was about to come back, but you still wanted to bring me back. Are you a good person? Oh, by the way, where's the money for bringing me back? Give it to me!"

The woman carefully took out a purse and handed it over.

Mrs. Zhang weighed it and felt that the weight was okay, then she smiled with satisfaction.

Sitting on the ox cart, Mrs. Zhang instructed the woman, "Go back, I've got the recipe for the braised pork."

The woman nodded and pulled the cow towards home.

Her shoes were worn out, but she didn't dare sit on the ox cart for fear of being scolded.

In the car, Mrs. Zhang was holding a braised pork bun with a calculating look in her eyes.

That little girl wants to fight with her? She’s dreaming!

*

The ox cart continued all the way without stopping and arrived at Huangzhu Town in the afternoon.

After entering the house, Mrs. Zhang did not take time to rest, and directed the woman to go to the inn to call Boss Huang.

"Tell him that we have got the braised pork recipe, and ask him to come over to pay for the goods."

The woman didn't dare to disobey her and ran out of the door quickly.

"Useless thing." Mrs. Zhang spat at her back and then spoke to her old man and son.

"So? I told you I could do it, but you didn't believe me!"

"You are still the best, old lady." Li Yu's nominal grandfather, Old Man Huang, smiled with his broken yellow teeth.

"Mom is the most powerful person in our family. Having her is a blessing I have earned in eight lifetimes." Huang Dongyuan, Li Yu's nominal uncle, flattered him obsequiously.

*

Mr. Huang, who wanted to buy a house, came quickly and soon followed the woman into the Huang family’s gate.

If Li Yu was at the scene, she would definitely find out that she knew this Boss Huang. He was none other than Boss Mei who wanted the prescription but was reluctant to spend the money.
