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

Li Yu worked for most of the morning and prepared six dishes.

Pickled fish, pickled pork with preserved vegetables, three shredded vegetables, shrimp dumplings, sweet and sour pork, hot and sour cabbage, and a rice wine and egg soup.

Boss Hua didn't expect to be able to eat new dishes, and his joy was beyond words. So when Li Yu gave him the recipes of the dishes she made at Qin's house last year, he bluntly said that he wanted to give this courtyard to Li Yu.

Li Yu naturally didn't want it. This courtyard had a good geographical location and a large area. Not to mention the decoration inside, it was carefully designed. It was obvious at a glance that Boss Hua liked it very much, and she couldn't take away someone else's love.

She refused several times, but Boss Hua insisted on giving it to her.

"Your recipes are worth more than my courtyard, so I'm not losing out. Besides, I don't come to Jiangyang County very often, at most twice a month, so it would be a waste to leave this courtyard unused. It would be better for you, Boss Li, to take it over. When you come here in the future, you'll have a place to stay."

What he said made a lot of sense, and it seemed that he would not accept it unless Li Yu accepted it. Li Yu had no choice but to accept it.

As it was still early, after dinner, Boss Hua went to the county government office without saying a word and transferred the house to Li Yu.

Li Yu didn't know what to say about Boss Hua's behavior. She really wanted to give the recipe to Boss Hua. Although he failed to connect her with Zui Xiang Lou, he was a good person. It was not bad to make friends with him by giving him a few recipes.

As a result, she not only made friends, but also had an extra house.

Han Xiaomei was very happy about this. She liked everything here and would come here to play when she had time.

Han Zheng didn't say anything, but he looked happy.

Seeing this, Li Yu stopped worrying about it, put the deed away, and the family packed up and went home.

Clearwater Village.

Uncle Wu sat in the village and chatted with people in a random manner.

"Old Wu, you work for Xiu Wen's wife every day. What benefits has she given you?" someone asked indirectly.

Recently, there has been a lot of gossip about Li language in the village.

Although some people knew that they shouldn't talk about Li Yu behind his back, they couldn't help it. In such a big village, everyone worked hard for decades but couldn't afford to build a big brick and tile house. However, Xiu Wen's wife built such a big house in just a few months of business.

They were so jealous just by looking at it.

Uncle Wu looked at the person asking the question and said, "Xiu Wen's wife gave me the supervision fee."

"How much did you give?" the man asked excitedly.

Uncle Wu looked at the man's eyes, which were red with jealousy, and did not answer.

The man thought that Li Yu gave too little, and said anxiously: "It can't be just a few cents, that's too little. You help her work every day, how can she be so stingy? If it's your opinion, you should just stop helping her and let her do it alone."

Others chimed in, “Yeah, you helped her so much.”

"Xiu Wen's wife is really not a good person. She earns so much, so what's wrong with giving you more?"

"How about we help you go and ask her for your wages, and then you can treat us to a drink."

"Speaking of which, Xiu Wen's wife is the most selfish. She has so many ways to make money, but she doesn't tell us. We are all from the same village, so she should lead us to make money together."

"You're right. We're from the same village. We'll meet each other sooner or later. How can she bear to see everyone suffer?"

Seeing these people talking more and more outrageously, Uncle Wu said loudly: "Xiu Wen's wife gave me one or two taels of silver."

"How much?" someone broke into a voice.

Uncle Wu repeated: "One tael of silver."

Everyone was quiet.

After a long while, the person who asked the question first said, "How can you be so foolish? You have such a good opportunity, why don't you bring us along? Old Wu, you can't eat alone!"

The people who just agreed also found their voices and said, "Yes, Old Wu, your family is doing well now, you can't look down on us. Next time Xiu Wen's wife has a job, you have to think about us first."

……

A few people were talking to each other, as if their poverty was caused by Uncle Wu and Li Yu and had nothing to do with them.

Uncle Wu got angry when he heard this. He stood up and yelled, "What nonsense are you talking about? Why should Xiu Wen's wife teach you how to make money? What does she have to do with you? You also said that Xiu Wen's wife is stingy and selfish. You are the selfish ones, and you are also stingy. You want me to help you in the future, but you are dreaming."

This speech was so ruthless that some people got angry and said, "Why are you yelling? I'm just a laborer, I don't get much money a month, what's there to be proud of?"

Uncle Wu got angry and wanted to continue arguing, but was stopped by Li Yu.

"Xiu Wen wife, you're back!" Uncle Wu was shocked.

"I just got home and bought some snacks. I was just about to send them to the village chief." Li Yu shook the snack bag in his hand and said with a smile: "I bought some for you too. I have already given them to Aunt Wu."

"This is too expensive." Uncle Wu put on a smile again, "It's not easy for you to take care of two children by yourself, so don't buy it in the future."

Li Yu smiled: "They are just small things, not worth much money."

The two of them were talking as if no one was around. Someone looked at the dim sum and was a little tempted. He said, "Xiu Wen's wife, the dim sum in the county is very expensive. I have lived for decades and have never eaten it."

Li Yu looked at the person who was speaking. If she remembered correctly, it was Old Man Huang who lived in the south of the village. He had just scolded her a lot.

Narrowing his eyes, Li Yu said, "The snacks in the county are naturally not cheap. If Uncle Huang wants to eat some, he can ask his children to buy them. I heard that your son has become rich, so he must be willing to buy you a box of snacks to show his filial piety."

After saying that, Li Yu turned and left.

Old man Huang was dissatisfied, "Xiu Wen's wife, we are from the same village, why are you so stingy?"

Li Yu turned her head and looked at him with a smile, "How am I stingy?"

Old man Huang pointed at the snack in her hand and said, "It's just a snack, but you're not willing to let others have a taste of it."

Li Yu said, "This is the snack I bought. It's normal that I don't want to give it to you. Do you think I should give it to you? Are you my relative? Or have you helped me before?"

Old Man Huang: “…”

No one else spoke up for Old Man Huang, but their expressions all showed their dissatisfaction with Li Yu.

Li Yu looked at him, and his smile gradually faded. "I recently thought of a new way to make money. I originally wanted to bring some villagers to try it out, but now I think it's unnecessary. Some people are not born to be good. There is no need for me to waste my time and energy to help them, lest I get thrown into the mud."

After saying that, Li Yu left again, and this time she didn't look back. Uncle Wu saw her walking away and turned back home. These people are not good, there is no need to say more to them.

The two men left separately, and the few people left looked at each other.

After a while, someone asked, "Is what she just said true? Does she really want to help us make money?"

Old Man Huang rejected it outright: "Impossible, she wouldn't think of us at all, she just wants to laugh at us!"

"What you said is true. If she wanted to take us, she would have asked long ago. Why wait until today?"

After a few people talked back and forth, they finally came to a conclusion: Li Yu was lying to them.
