Eating big melon is so refreshing

Jiang Tang's eyes were subtle. Even a child knew that Tian Bao was lying, so how could his wife still believe him as her younger brother?

A few days ago, when the old woman was tidying up the kitchen, she found a secret compartment and a small jar with fifty taels of silver ingots in it.

Tian Bao's grandson fell ill today. Is it such a coincidence? It was obviously a gimmick. Jiang Tang was getting more and more annoyed with his brother-in-law's greed. He also knew the purpose of Tian Bao's jumping up and down.

Mrs. Jiang has been taking the folk remedy for three years, but there is no movement in her stomach. She probably really can't have a baby.

Jiang Tang was unwilling to choose someone from the clan to inherit his property, but he also didn't want there to be no one to inherit the incense after a hundred years, so he was in a dilemma.

"Grandpa, don't worry. Mother can't have another brother, but my brother will have several sons in the future. Can't we just let his eldest son have the surname Jiang?"

Xiao Chunya said, "I heard from my father that Zhaojia Village is full of men and lacks women. The men in the old Zhao family are not valuable. Only chubby girls like me are valuable."

This is true. Zhao Erlang has four brothers, and his grandfather's generation also had four brothers. The Zhao family has a lot of boys.

Jiang Tang had an idea. This was also a solution. He was only in his forties this year. In ten years, he would be able to have a great-grandson. It seemed that it was not impossible.

"Father, I heard that the head of the Shen family was assassinated and the murderer was Shen Youcai, the illegitimate son of the head of the Shen family. This news is really exciting."

"It's quite exciting. It won't take long for the Shen family's power to be divided up by those with ulterior motives." Zhao Erlang said calmly, "The Shen family will no longer cause me trouble. I can continue to carry heavy bags at the dock. When business is good, it's almost the same as being a yamen runner in the county."

"Grandpa, we can dye the cloth ourselves and let Dad sell it. We don't need to take orders from other people and look at their faces."

Xiaochun Ya said cutely, "We buy a piece of cotton cloth for 1,800 wen. After we dye it, we cut it into ten pieces and make them into cloth. We sell each piece for 210 wen."

Zhao Erlang suddenly had an idea. He realized that carrying heavy bags would not always bring in business, so he could sell cloth in his free time to earn some income.

Jiang Tang has been a dyer all his life and has never thought about selling cloth himself. Most of the jobs he takes are to dye clothes for others, but the income from this is really not high and can only make a living.

"Xiaochun, cotton cloth is expensive. Many families wear the same set of clothes for several years. Only the wealthy families change their clothes every year." Jiang Tang would not be perfunctory just because the child is young. He explained the reason, "Grandpa only knows how to dye blue and red, which are the colors commonly worn by small families."

"My brother and I know how to mix colors. Pink and purple are very beautiful. We can first buy half a piece of coarse cloth from Uncle Hu in the village. Our family should be able to afford the loss of half a tael of silver."

Xiao Chunya said, "Dad carries heavy bags at the dock every day. His body can't handle it after a while. It's better to let him sell cloth for grandpa."

Xiao Qiulin's mouth twitched. She wondered when her sister would learn how to mix paints. However, there was no problem in taking some paints out of the system.

Jiang Tang thought about it and felt that it was feasible. His family hadn't made new clothes for two years. He could buy half a piece of cloth and dye it himself. If he could sell it, he would sell it. If he couldn't, he could make clothes for himself. It wouldn't be a big loss.

Jiang said, "It's a bit boring to just sell fabrics. Why not sell my embroidery as well? The price will be lower and people will buy it."

Zhao Erlang said, "Then I will get a shoulder pole and rent a stall with others at the dock to test the waters. I think this business has potential."

Jiang still had to go to the embroidery workshop to work. After Zhao Erlang sent his wife to the embroidery workshop, he went to the trade area to prepare his own stall tools.

After eating, the two children went for a nap as usual. This was Zhao Erlang's request. Children must take a nap so that they can grow taller and stronger.

胡家

Old Man Hu was a carpenter and had two acres of dry land at home. Unfortunately, his son was too fertile. The couple had seven children, three boys and four girls. For a wealthy family, having many children would definitely be a blessing, but for an ordinary family, even food would be a problem.

So even at such an old age, Grandma Hu still has to spin yarn and weave cloth with her daughter-in-law and granddaughter. People in the village usually go to her house to buy cloth, firstly to get the support of fellow villagers, and secondly because it is cheaper than outside.

In addition to the Hu family who are professional weavers in Xiaowang Village, Aunt Hua's family also weaves. Aunt Hua's daughter-in-law finally gave birth to a son after giving birth to four daughters. With a grandson, there is hope. Aunt Hua also wants to earn money to supplement the family expenses, so she carried back a second-hand loom from her sister-in-law from her mother's side. The three granddaughters in the family spin yarn and weave cloth every day, take turns cooking, raising chickens, ducks and pigs, and have gained a good reputation for being virtuous and filial.

Reputation is very important, especially when Aunt Hua's daughter and son-in-law Ergouzi are asking for a divorce. Ergouzi is in the wrong because he had an affair with Widow Zheng and gave birth to a son. However, Ergouzi's clansmen do not think it is all Ergouzi's fault. Who made Jiang Guihua not give birth to any more children after giving birth to two daughters?

In any case, Xiaocao's eldest sister, twelve-year-old Xiaoyu, was able to marry the youngest son of the Chen family in the rice shop because of her good reputation and good looks. Of course, this was also helped by Aunt Hua's eldest sister-in-law.

Over the past year, Jiang Guihua has been like a mad dog, barking at everyone she knows, especially when she saw Zhao Erlang and Jiang's affectionate relationship. She was even more irritated by this, and she even came to the house to laugh at them out of glee a few months ago.

A few days ago, Jiang Guihua was divorced by Er Gouzi and sent back to her parents' home. She looked like a walking corpse with her soul sucked out. Xiao Chunya suspected that her younger brother was involved, but the woman deserved it. Who could stand her making trouble every day?

The Hu family and Aunt Hua's family are neighbors. The walls of both families are fences, so anyone coming in and out of the next door can be seen clearly from this side.

"Brother Hu, I want to order a wooden basin."

Jiang Tang said, "A bathtub that can be used by children of five or six years old, and half a piece of cloth, preferably cut cloth."

"Grandpa, wasn't the bathtub I was using fine?" Xiao Chunya looked a little confused. "I remember that what was kicked away was a stool."

Jiang Tang's face twitched slightly. You kicked a stool away, and when you fell you also kicked the bathtub. The bathtub, which was not very sturdy to begin with, fell apart when your grandson took it to take a bath.

"Your brother broke the bathtub." A pot could be thrown on the poor grandson's head. The son-in-law was very strong, and the granddaughter inherited his strength, surpassing her father.

"It turned out that it was my younger brother who did it. He has become stronger recently." Xiao Chunya thought that there was nothing wrong with it. They were both twins. Since she was stronger, her younger brother should be stronger too.

Old man Hu looked at Chunya, who was obviously older than her peers, and his mouth twitched. It was hard to say who was stronger.
