I became a farmer's wife, and the cruel and powerful officials forced me to give birth to a chi

Jing Qishan was only depressed for a short while, but soon he regained his fighting spirit.

Humph, what do you mean he never gave any support? Wasn’t it his idea to invite the opera troupe?

If we hadn’t invited a troupe of actors over, why would there be so many guests today?

Also, didn’t he also chopped firewood for the yard?

Thinking of this, he called Jing Qizhi over and pretended to ask Jing Qizhi to help him to the attic.

Then he sat in front of the attic and watched the lively scene below.

A troupe of opera singers was performing at the door. Customers came in an endless stream, some for the opera and some for the hot and sour noodles. The road to the door was packed with people, and as there was no room to sit inside the shop, some people simply took their bowls across the street and ate while watching the opera.

Li Yujiao shuttled back and forth between them, sometimes checking whether the noodles in the kitchen were cooked, sometimes chatting with the customers. In order to avoid making people in the surrounding shops jealous, she also gave them red envelopes and gave them free hot and sour noodles.

This woman is quite capable!

……

This busy work lasted until midnight.

The troupe left, the guests dispersed, and the dishes were washed.

Li Yujiao took a bath and counted money under the candlelight.

Because it was the first day of opening, Wang Erhua, Chun Ge and Jing Qizhi were watching with great interest.

Today, we sold more than 3,000 bowls of hot and sour noodles. Each bowl cost eight cents. The copper coins we collected filled two large buckets. After counting, it turned out to be about 24 taels of silver.

In addition to hiring the opera troupe, there was still more than twenty taels of silver to pay for the wages of Aunt Pang and people like Agui and Aping who came from the village to help.

After deducting the cost of the hot and sour noodles, as well as the wages of the long-term workers Jing Qizhi and Wang Erhua, and the temporary wages paid to Song Ning, the total amount was about fifteen taels.

After all, it was the first day of business, and as the owner, she had to give her employees red envelopes or something.

All in all, I made a lot of money today!

Jing Qishan watched Li Yujiao counting the money. Her face was red and her almond-shaped eyes showed her excitement at the sight of money. She was very charming.

Jing Qizhi said: "It seems that it is more practical to hire a troupe. Brother Qishan's idea is not bad!"

For the first time, Jing Qishan felt that his cousin Jing Qizhi was someone he could get along with.

But Wang Erhua disagreed: "If you ask me, it's my sister Jiao who is more capable. Sister Jiao also wanted to invite the opera troupe at the beginning, but she was afraid of Guicai and didn't invite them. But Sister Jiao can heal illnesses. How did she save the old troupe owner's daughter by chance? Two taels of silver can make the opera troupe come and sing for a day. Who has such a talent?"

Then he looked at Jing Qishan and asked, "Is he the kind of person who can only talk?"

Jing Qishan: ...

Wang Erhua continued to instigate: "In my opinion, Mr. Song's work is more genuine, painting and distributing flyers."

Jing Qishan felt that Wang Erhua was really a bad talker.

If he were in power, he would make sure she was slapped in the face twenty times!

Li Yujiao saw that Jing Qishan was not doing right, and she was worried that it would be Wang Erhua who would be boiled in the future, so she couldn't help but stop Wang Erhua.

"Erhua, what you said is wrong. We have achieved such great results today because of the hard work of all of us, whether we are the ones who came up with ideas or the ones who contributed our efforts."

Jing Qishan looked at Li Yujiao approvingly.

His wife is really good at talking, she deserves to be the boss.

Li Yujiao added: "Everyone has worked hard today, go to bed early. I estimate that there will be many guests tomorrow, so we need to stay alert!"

Wang Erhua, Jing Qizhi and Chun Ge were indeed tired, and they all went back to sleep while yawning.

Li Yujiao and Jing Qishan were the only ones left in the shop.

Since moving to the town, Jing Qizhi and Chun Ge have been responsible for taking care of Jing Qishan, but tonight they seemed to have forgotten him.

Li Yujiao was about to extinguish the candle when she remembered that Jing Qishan was still here.

She couldn't help but say apologetically: "Oh, I almost forgot about you."

Jing Qishan: ...

Li Yujiao said, "Let me take you back to your room."

She came over and picked him up.

I haven't hugged him for a while, and I just felt that his body had become much stronger, and it took a lot of effort to pick him up.

She couldn't help but ask doubtfully: "Are your legs still weak?"

Jing Qishan said: "Somehow, my arms have regained their strength, but my legs are still very weak. I can only stand for a while occasionally, but I can't walk."

Li Yujiao said: "Logically speaking, you should be able to leave."

Jing Qishan looked aggrieved: "I also want to get out of bed and walk right now, and no longer be treated as trash in their eyes, but I really can't walk!"

Li Yujiao suddenly felt that he was a little pitiful.

Jing Qishan moved his head closer to her, smelling the fresh scent of her body after taking a bath, and continued aggrievedly: "You heard what Wang Erhua said about me just now. She said I didn't help you at all. You were all busy today, and I was sitting alone in the yard. She also said that I was not as good as Mr. Song and took the lead in despising me."

Li Yujiao knew that this future traitor was very sensitive, so she comforted her, "Erhua doesn't understand the situation. The day you gave me advice, she happened to go back to the village to help me find someone."

"You didn't want to join the troupe at first, but you came up with this idea after listening to my advice. Although it was thanks to you that I was able to invite him back later, but when she said that about me, wasn't she saying that I was a waste?"

Li Yujiao had no choice but to comfort her: "Erhua is indeed a bit blunt in her words, but you are a magnanimous person, so don't bother with her."

She had already carried him to the attic, and it was a bit difficult to go up the stairs.

He was a little worried, so he hugged her tighter: "Be careful, if it doesn't work, bring Jing Qizhi over, and you can lift me up together."

He knew that she would not bother Jing Qizhi again, as Jing Qizhi must have been asleep by now.

Li Yujiao said: "I can do it, just... hold me tighter."

"Okay!" He hugged me tighter.

Li Yujiao felt something strange in her heart.

Is Jing Qishan so afraid of falling?

Could it be that, as he said, he suffered a great injustice today?

Yes, everyone was busy today, and maybe no one paid attention to him. Even she didn't know whether he had eaten today.

Finally she carried him to his room, and after putting him down, she asked him, "Are you hungry?"

"I'm not hungry." Mainly because I didn't want to trouble her.

Then she lit a candle for him.

The candlelight was lit, illuminating his face. He looked at her, his eyes flashing with a strange light.

Li Yujiao's heart trembled inexplicably.

This is the way a man looks at a woman!

But this gaze only lasted for a moment, and he said, "It's late, you should go back to your room and rest."

She had yawned several times on the way here, and he didn't have the heart to torment her any more.

"Okay!" She yawned again and then said, "See you tomorrow. Call me if you need anything."

"it is good!"
