Chapter 60 Seeking Help from Mrs. Zhang
The next day, both of them got up early and supervised the children to brush their teeth before letting them go.
Looking at the children squatting in a row, brushing their teeth and retching in unison, the two finally felt a little bit of the joy of taking care of children.
really interesting.
Tomorrow is the day for the Zhonghe Town morning market, but now we are familiar with the process and don’t need to prepare anything. So today the whole family went to the fields together and came back together at three or four in the afternoon.
I finished my lunch early and prepared things for the market the next day.
Zheng Yuan decided to only knead three pounds of ice jelly seeds.
Tao'er was very puzzled: "Aunt, last time I went to sell this with you guys, it was obvious that those people liked our ice jelly very much. After it was sold out, there were still many people around to buy it. Why don't we make more to sell?"
Zheng Yuan rubbed the ice jelly seeds while explaining, "You have to keep it a little bit secret. If there is a lot of ice jelly and they can buy it anytime, they won't be so eager to buy it. Only when you give them the impression that the product is limited and if they don't buy it, others will buy it all, will they rush to buy it."
"It's like the eggs at the market. Everyone has one, and there are more people selling than buying. Even those who need one won't care, because no matter when you go, there are always plenty of eggs waiting for her to pick."
Zheng Yuan briefly explained the concept of hunger marketing to her. Tao'er probably understood what it meant and continued kneading the ice jelly thoughtfully.
The next morning, the two of them set out again with Erhe. This boy was smart and followed them a few times. After taking him a few more times, they let him go out with other children to sell alone, which saved them from having to get up early every time.
From a distance, they saw Liu Cuilan from next door riding on a ox cart.
"Mom, Grandma Liu is in the car again. Does she want to follow us?" Erhe said unhappily.
"She might be going to the market. The market is not owned by our family. We can't stop her from going to the market." Zheng Yuan comforted him.
But as soon as they got on the bus, Liu Cuilan's eyes were fixed on the buckets in their hands, as if she wanted to snatch the buckets from them.
Well, this is directed at them.
Just now I saw her trying to persuade the people of Erhe that they were just here for the market. But she wasn't here for the market at all; she was just following them.
Liu Cuilan had a hard time these days. She had a fight with Maomao and her daughter-in-law that day, and it was very ugly. Her husband and son also blamed her, and even Maomao didn't get close to her these days.
But from time to time, she could smell a strong smell of meat coming from next door. She felt that the discord in her family was caused by Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin. Now that the culprit was living such a carefree life, how could she be willing to accept this?
After waiting for the market for a long time, she secretly took her own land deed early in the morning and waited on the ox cart early. Today, she had to establish a relationship with the nobles in Zhang Yuanwai's house. She got some ice herself to see how arrogant they were.
After making a lot of money, she would see if Wang Caifeng dared to go against her. If she was unhappy, she would let her son divorce her. This damn old man didn't help her before, so let's see what he has to say now.
This Li Juxian is also a useless person. I asked her to steal the land deed from my home and start a business together yesterday, but she didn't dare to do it. Forget it. When I make money, I will let her regret it.
Immersed in the fantasy of making a lot of money, Liu Cuilan unconsciously tightened the pocket where she placed the land deed.
Looking at her eyes, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin couldn't help but shudder. How much resentment was there in her.
I really don't look for trouble, but trouble finds me. Why is it so difficult to live a good life?
It seems that I have to go to Mr. Zhang's house and block Mrs. Zhang. At worst, I can give her some benefits and ask her to help me cover up the lie.
The fact that they could make ice must not be spread out. Not to mention how jealous the villagers would be, the wealthy businessmen in the ice business would not let them go.
The man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure. They are just two ordinary village women who cannot keep such a big piece of fat meat.
So they entered the town, and the three of them hurriedly carried the buckets and walked towards the corner gate they had met last time.
The three of them walked in front carrying buckets, and Liu Cuilan followed quietly behind. When she turned around, she saw her hurriedly hiding figure. She thought she was hiding very well.
As expected, I still don’t give up.
They didn't expose it, pretending not to notice, and continued to move forward. Anyway, they really knew Mrs. Zhang, and she wouldn't dare to come forward at that time. I just need to pretend to be very familiar with Mrs. Zhang, hand her the ice powder, and if possible, give Mrs. Zhang a little benefit and ask her to help them tell this little lie. Even if Liu Cuilan really stopped Mrs. Zhang, as long as Mrs. Zhang didn't let go, I think she would be helpless.
Soon they arrived at the corner gate they had been to last time. Several people put down what they were holding and sat on the steps to rest.
They didn't go up to knock on the door, because knocking on the door so early would only invite scolding. Today was market day, so Zhang, as a shopping woman, would definitely go out.
Seeing the three people sitting on the steps, Liu Cuilan only dared to peek at the entrance of the alley.
I got up very early and ran into Liu Cuilan, this follower. I was upset at first, but it was also quite interesting to see that head sticking in and out from the corner of my eye.
As the sun rose, the house gradually became lively, and the sounds could be heard outside. Guessing that Zhang Po was about to come out, the three of them stood up, dusted off their bodies, and stood aside.
Soon, the voice of Mrs. Zhang was heard.
"Zhu Zi, you are being lazy again, why don't you open the door for me."
"No way, Madam Zhang. I just took a nap for a while. I'm going to open the door for you now. Are you going to buy groceries? Be careful!"
When Mrs. Zhang went out, she saw a few people standing on the side and asked curiously, "Why are you here?"
Zheng Yuan hurriedly pulled Mrs. Zhang over, and at the same time signaled Duan Minmin and Erhe to stand behind them to block Liu Cuilan's sight.
"My dear sister, last time I sent some ice jelly to your house thanks to you, so I thought of sending you some more. Don't worry, I won't charge you this time. This ice jelly is our way of honoring you and the nobles in your house."
Seeing them like this, Mrs. Zhang guessed that these two people wanted to ask her for something. Could it be that they wanted to get some benefits from her because she was the purchasing lady in the mansion?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Zhang felt a little unhappy. She didn't like people who pushed their luck, so her tone was a little cold: "Just tell me what you want to say!"
Hearing her tone, Zheng Yuan knew she was unhappy, but she could only say in a nice tone, "Sister, to be honest, we are in trouble. But we are both from the countryside and don't know any important people. After thinking about it, the only person we know is you. Sister, you are kind-hearted, so we shamelessly come to you for help."
Her words hinted that Mrs. Zhang had some connections and praised her for her kindness. Mrs. Zhang looked a little better after hearing this.
"Okay, tell me, what happened?"
So, Zheng Yuan roughly told the story of how the ice jelly business they were doing was being targeted by someone, and he wanted to use her power to scare the person who was targeting this business away.
"Sister, you don't know that we are both widows with seven children in our family. We finally got the chance to get this ice, but now those people are jealous and want to steal our business. We really have no other choice, so we come to you for help."
As he spoke, he wiped the non-existent tears from the corners of his eyes with his hands. Finally, he played the sympathy card, hoping that it would work for this old woman.
Hearing them talking about their dead husbands taking care of seven children, Mrs. Zhang's heart softened for a moment. It was not easy for these two women.
"Alright, alright, don't be sad, sister. Life is getting better day by day. It's not a big deal. If that person dares to come and stop me later, I will just scare him away."
Mrs. Zhang also saw the old woman peeking out from the entrance of the alley and guessed that this was the person who was eyeing their business.
