"Sister, the sun is shining brightly again today!"

Before the sun rose in the early morning, Jiang Yan's childish but vigorous voice echoed across the hills.

Without waiting for Jiang Sining's instructions, he hurriedly spread the borrowed bamboo mat on the grass, preparing to dry the tea seeds when the sun came out.

In the past few days, Aunt Li and her colleagues have collected more than 200 kilograms of tea seeds, and can squeeze out at least kilograms of tea seed oil.

Tea seed oil can be eaten, but it doesn’t taste good and eating too much can cause diarrhea, so people in this world don’t eat tea seed oil. This is also why there are so many tea seeds on the mountain but no one wants them.

Jiang Sining doesn't press the oil for consumption, but to use it to make cooling oil or wind oil essence, or even to develop some cosmetics.

Now Jiang Si Ning only had two taels of silver in his pocket, and he had to eat more, and he had to hurry up to build a house. The herbs from Mr. Liu would require a large sum of silver when picking up the goods.

She had to make a lot of money again in a short period of time.

The productivity of this world is very backward. It is difficult for ordinary people to have enough food to eat and they simply don’t have extra money to spend. So if they want to make money, they have to make money from the rich.

The earliest tea seeds collected have been dried and can be sent for oil extraction.

After breakfast, she brought medicine and porridge to Si Chenan.

The rice porridge is cooked with spiritual spring water and lean meat and simmered for a long time. Although the only seasonings are salt and green onions, it smells very fragrant and tastes good.

After yesterday's treatment, the color of Si Chenan's fingernails seemed to have lightened slightly, indicating that the toxins were being eliminated. It seemed that the medicine she used was correct.

"Thank you for your concern, my lady."

"You're welcome, my husband."

Jiang Sining responded to Si Chenan's politeness with corresponding courtesy.

Although they are not a real couple, they still have to pretend to be one for others.

This reminded her of an idiom "treat each other with respect as guests", which was definitely a positive connotation in ancient times, but in modern times, it has unconsciously acquired a derogatory connotation.

From a psychological point of view, if a couple is too polite, there is probably a problem.

However, this mode of getting along is very suitable between her and Si Chenan.

"Ning girl, we're here." Aunt Zhang's loud voice came from outside, "Are you up?"

"Yes." Jiang Sining replied.

"Where are you going today, madam?" Si Chenan asked.

"I asked the aunties in the village to help with the oil pressing. You don't have to worry about it," Jiang Sining said, "make sure you get some rest."

When they walked out of the house, Aunt Li and the other three looked at them in unison, with strange smiles on their faces. It was obvious that they were thinking about something improper.

"Why did you call us here?" asked Aunt Li.

It hasn’t rained for a long time, so there are no mushrooms in the mountains, and the tea seeds nearby have almost been picked up.

Apart from digging wild vegetables, she really couldn't think of anything else to do.

"Aunts, please help me mow the grass today."

"Mowing the grass?" The aunts looked at each other in bewilderment. "Ning girl, the grass isn't everywhere, why do you still want someone to mow it?"

"Yeah, you don't raise pigs or cows at home, so what do you need so much grass for?"

"I don't want weeds, I want certain kinds of grass."

Jiang Sining named seven or eight kinds of grass, all of which are common in the mountains. Some can provide a temperature that repels mosquitoes, and some can relieve itching and swelling.

If these effects were added to the cooling oil, it would surely sell better.

Of course, the main ingredients are menthol and camphor, but these two can only be purchased through Mr. Liu.

"Okay, since you want it, it must be useful." Aunt Li said, "Let's go cut it now. I promise to give you a full pile today!"

After the business was settled, Aunt Li lowered her voice and said, "Ning girl, I shouldn't have interfered with your marriage. I know you bought an exiled prisoner as your husband in order to leave home and start your own business, but others don't think so. I don't know how badly those gossipers in the village have said these days."

"It's okay, auntie, let them say whatever they want, I won't lose a piece of meat."

"I'm glad you can let it go. Then let's go mow the lawn."

Aunt Li and the others went to cut grass. Jiang Sining was packing tea seeds into a cloth bag. Jiang Qingmei came up with her two younger brothers.

Jiang Qingmei was severely tricked by Jiang Sining last time. Not only did the Jiang family lose all face, but they also had to pay money. Naturally, Jiang Qingmei held a grudge against him.

As soon as the hype about this matter died down, they couldn't wait to come to the door.

"Oh, it's tea seeds." Jiang Qingmei said with a smile, "Are you going to press them for oil?"

Jiang Si Ning was too lazy to pay attention to her and pretended to be alone. However, Jiang Yan was young and couldn't control his temper. He retorted coldly: "What we do is none of your business."

"Haha, of course it's none of my business," Jiang Qingmei was not angry today, but kept a smile on her face, saying, "But you can't eat the oil from the tea seeds. It will upset your stomach. Only those who are extremely poor will eat it."

Seeing that Jiang Si Ning still ignored her, she continued, "I'm talking to you! How come you don't even recognize your cousin now that you have a man? By the way, everyone says your man is useless and can't even get out of bed. Is that true? No wonder he's taking tea seed oil. You're buying a piece of junk and you're still spending money on his medical treatment. If you're not poor, who else is poor!"

Jiang Sining tied up the cloth bag containing the tea seeds, turned around and said to Jiang Yan, "Xiaoyan, Qianqian, you should be good at home today. Eat cakes if you are hungry at noon. Remember to warm the medicine for your brother-in-law. I will be back before dark."

"Well, don't worry, big sister," Jiang Yan glanced at Jiang Qingmei and said, "We will take good care of the family."

Jiang Sining walked away carrying the tea seeds.

People like Jiang Qingmei are like toads that don't bite but are annoying. If you look at her, you'll lose.

Originally she wanted to laugh at Jiang Sining for finding a useless man, but ended up getting rejected. Jiang Qingmei felt very upset and was about to catch up with him to continue talking when she suddenly saw a small pile of dry firewood next to the shack.

With a turn of her eyes, Jiang Qingmei had a brilliant idea.

So she put on a smile and said to Jiang Yan who was drying tea seeds: "Xiao Yan, cousin was not nice to you before. It was my fault. Please don't be angry with my cousin, okay?"

Jiang Yan was suddenly at a loss for words because of her.

Ever since he could remember, this cousin had always been yelling at him or scolding him. When had she ever spoken to him nicely like this?

Are you possessed today?

"How about this," Jiang Qingmei said, "You two should move out. I can't help you much. How about I help you pick up some firewood with your two cousins ​​today?"

"No, no." Jiang Yan shook his head like a rattle, "We have a lot of firewood, we don't need you to pick it up."

"Don't be polite to your cousin. This is your compensation to you." Jiang Qingmei turned to her two younger brothers and said, "You all heard it. Come with me to collect firewood."

Jiang Qinghe and his brother were also a little confused. Was their sister out of her mind, asking them to collect firewood for these little bastards?

But when she saw Jiang Qingmei winking at them continuously, she realized that her sister was going to find a way to deal with these little bastards.

"Okay, let's go collect firewood!"

After saying that, regardless of Jiang Yan's objection, the three of them went to the woods together.

"Sister, do you really want to collect firewood?"

"correct."

"No way, sister," Jiang Qinghe said, "Why should we pick up firewood for them?"

Jiang Qingmei sneered: "If you don't pick up more firewood, how can the fire burn vigorously?"

Jiang Qinghe's eyes lit up: "Sister, you mean we should get more firewood and light a fire for them..."

"What do you mean by 'we'?" Jiang Qingmei asked, "Didn't that little bastard play with fire and burn down the shack?"

"Yes, yes, it was that little bastard who did it," Jiang Qinghe laughed, "Then let's pick up more and make the fire bigger!"

Jiang Qinghai said, "But that bastard useless man is still lying in the shack. Will he burn to death when the time comes?"

"He deserves to be burned to death for ruining my plans!"

When talking about Si Chenan, Jiang Qingmei gritted her teeth.

If it weren't for this guy, Jiang Sining would have had to marry into Zhao Bozi's family and suffer, and her family wouldn't have to return the betrothal gift and pay compensation.

"Besides, the person was burned to death by those two little bastards, so what does it have to do with us?" Jiang Qingmei said, "By the time the person is gone, the government might have to question that little bitch and put her in jail!"

"Hehehe... Sister, you are so vicious!"

"Can you talk?" Jiang Qingmei glared at her brother. "This isn't called viciousness, this is called scheming!"

When the three men thought about the possibility of destroying Jiang Sining's family and killing everyone in it, they worked much harder than collecting firewood for their own family. They kept dragging anything that could be lit in the forest towards the shack.

Just as they went to deliver the firewood, Xia Shan jumped down from a big tree, avoiding everyone's sight, came to Si Chenan, and reported everything he had just heard.

"Young Master, this is what happened. What do you think we should do?"

"Summer Mountain."

"My subordinate is here."

"I already said it yesterday," Si Chenan said, "I am not the one in charge of the family now, so you should ask Madam about this matter."

Xia Shan twitched his lips. The house is about to burn down, and you two are still here trying to shirk responsibility, right?

"What about Madam?"

"He's going to the market town to press oil," Si Chenan said, "If you run faster, you can catch up in half an hour."

Xia Shan:......

"Subordinates retire."

After Xia Shan ran away in a hurry, Si Chenan began to look forward to it.

How will his mysterious wife respond?
