After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 48 Your father and I are a burden to you

The waiter took out the backpack and put the snake gall in a bowl.

He handed it to Jiang Xiaohe respectfully.

"Shopkeeper, can I buy this bowl from you?"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "I'll give it to you, young lady."

How can that work.

Jiang Xiaohe took out three cents from her pocket and put them on the table.

"If you're taking something from someone, then consider it as something I bought."

The shopkeeper smiled and thought the girl was pretty good: "Then I'll take her."

"As it should be, there's nothing else to do, my father and I will leave."

The shopkeeper walked them to the door and said: "Next time, if you get something good, you can send it to us."

Jiang Xiaohe nodded, thinking that this was a preparation for selling wine next time.

Zhang Fu was very excited. Jiang Xiaohe continued, "Dad, let's find a pharmacy to see if we can exchange the snake gall for some silver."

"Can the snake gallbladder medicine shop still accept it?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded.

They randomly found a pharmacy in the town. Zhang Fu waited outside while Jiang Xiaohe went in carrying the snake gall.

"Doctor, do you accept snake gallbladders?"

...

When she came out, Jiang Xiaohe had another hundred bucks in her hand.

"Can a snake gallbladder be sold for so much silver?"

"Dad, the main reason is because this snake is big and courageous, so they gave more."

Zhang Fu smiled happily and said, "Okay, okay." He prepared to go back.

Jiang Xiaohe said, "Dad, let's go buy some more things."

As he said this, he walked towards the grain shop.

Over the past few days, the boss has become familiar with her. When he saw her, he immediately smiled and asked, "What do you want to buy today, ma'am?"

"Boss, give me five pounds of flour, some soy sauce, and a small bottle of sesame oil."

"Dele!"

Soy sauce and sesame oil are so expensive!

"Daughter-in-law, these things are very precious!"

"Dad! We made some money, so we should treat ourselves to a good meal!"

Zhang Fu bit his lip, afraid to say too much.

Put the things in the backpack.

"Dad, let's go buy some more cloth."

"Why buy those? We're not making new clothes!"

"I want to make new clothes. I see that mother has been mending your clothes in the yard all day. There is no more room for needles."

Zhang Fu refused: "No, Dad has other clothes!"

Did he have other clothes? Looking back on her past memories, how could she not know? When Zhang Dashan was around, even though the family had income, the two old people were reluctant to make clothes for him.

After Zhang Dashan left, the two of them didn't buy a piece of cloth for themselves for more than a year, and the patches on their clothes were so many that there was no place left to sew.

Ignoring his objection, Jiang Xiaohe went to Bush's shop and bought two pieces of coarse cloth, one for Wang Qiuxia and one for Zhang Fu. She also bought some fine cotton cloth, thinking of making some clothes for Zhang Chuan. The weather has been hot recently and Zhang Chuan has developed prickly heat from covering his body with the cloth.

When checking out, Jiang Xiaohe bargained and asked the boss for some leftover materials to take back and have Wang Qiuxia make shoe uppers.

Zhang Fu felt very painful after spending a hundred dollars.

"Dad, I will earn this money back!"

Zhang Fu didn't say anything, and advised himself in his heart, don't feel bad, don't feel bad...

After they finished shopping, they headed home. She originally wanted to buy some meat, but the butcher shop was out of meat today, saying that it would only be sold during the big market tomorrow!

There is no way to cover it with this cloth.

As soon as they entered the village, the villagers became jealous. Jiang Xiaohe also thought that life would only get better and better in the future. Did she have to hide it every time she bought something? This was the money she earned, not stolen or robbed. What was she afraid of!

“Buy so many good things!”

Jiang Xiaohe didn't remember the person who spoke, she just smiled and said, "Yes, I took the snake to the town and sold it for some money."

This was equivalent to an answer to those jealous people, and then the two of them walked quickly towards home.

Wang Qiuxia had also been waiting early. When she saw them coming back with good stuff in their backpacks, she immediately realized that the snake meat had been sold.

He quickly brought water to the two of them.

Jiang Xiaohe took it with a smile: "Thank you, mother."

Wang Qiuxia then went to pack up the backpack: "I bought so much cloth."

"Mother, I bought it for you and father. When the time comes, you can each make two sets of clothes. The fine cotton cloth is for Chuan'er. I see that the weather has been too hot these days and he has prickly heat all over his body."

After hearing what she said, Wang Qiuxia subconsciously refused: "Why are you buying cloth for us two old things? With this little money, you can buy yourself a piece of cloth to make two sets of clothes. Look, you wear the same two sets of clothes over and over again!"

Then she complained to Zhang Fu: "Why didn't you stop your daughter-in-law from buying it?" How much silver did it cost? She felt bad, she could buy a lot of food with it.

Zhang Fu really wanted to say, can he stop it?

Jiang Xiaohe put down the bowl and walked to her side: "Alright, mom! I've already bought it. Look at how many patches there are on your and dad's clothes! There's not even a single patch on my clothes."

As he said this, he put the cloth into Wang Qiuxia's hands and said seriously: "Mom, this time I bought coarse cloth. Later, I will buy silk and satin for you and dad to wear!"

Touching the cloth in her hand, Wang Qiuxia's eyes turned red. Listening to Jiang Xiaohe's words, she was afraid that her tears would fall, so she hurriedly wiped them with her apron: "Why wear silk? Mother doesn't want those. Mother just wants our family to be well."

Jiang Xiaohe squeezed her arm and said, "Don't worry, Mom. Our family will be fine. I'll wait and see Mom and Dad wearing new clothes."

Zhang Fu was moved when he saw this. He wiped his eyes secretly and said unhappily, "Okay, this is all the filial piety of my daughter-in-law. We should just accept it. It's noon now. We are very hungry. Let's go cook."

Wang Qiuxia glared at him, took the cloth back to the room, couldn't help touching it again and again, then turned around and went out to cook.

Jiang Xiaohe held the flour and said, "Mom, let's make buns at noon. I bought some flour."

Wang Qiuxia nodded: "Okay, then help me pick some beans from the backyard."

At noon, the family had porridge and buns. At the table, Jiang Xiaohe told the two old people how much she had earned and spent that day, and also told them how much silver the family had now.

When they heard that there were almost four taels of silver in the family, the two old people were surprised. They didn't expect that the family earned so much silver in just about half a month!

However, knowing that the family is now rich, the two old people feel a little more relaxed.

"Dad, you go to the mountain to pick wild sweet potatoes this afternoon. Mom and I are going to process the grapes we picked today. We can sell them for a high price in the future!"

Zhang Fu nodded: "Okay, but I'm afraid many people will follow me up the mountain today."

"That's fine. Everyone will know about this sooner or later. At worst, we can stop doing this business and do something else. Or you can ask your second uncle to come with you this afternoon so that the benefits don't go to outsiders."

She said this and Zhang Fu nodded.

After lunch, Zhang Fu rested for a while and then went to call Zhang Quan to go up the mountain together.

Jiang Xiaohe fed Zhang Chuan milk, and when he fell asleep, she started to process the grapes.

First, Wang Qiuxia and I picked all the grapes, washed them with clean water, then took out all the winnowing baskets in the house and hung the washed grapes to dry.

Then he asked Wang Qiuxia: "Mom, do we have a wine jar at home?"

"What do you use that for?"

"Wine brewing!"

Wang Qiuxia was stunned at first, then nodded: "Mom will give it to you."

When the wine jar was brought over, Wang Qiuxia asked her, "How come you know everything? I've never heard you mention it before..."

Jiang Xiaohe blushed and said calmly, "Isn't this just about making money?"

Wang Qiuxia felt a little uncomfortable listening to this: "Alas, it's all because of your mother and your father that you are dragged down."

"Don't say that, mother. I think everything is fine now. However, is this the only jar in the house? This one is not enough!"

"Yes, yes. When you and Dashan got married, you bought a lot of wine. These wine jars are piled up in the backyard. Mother will take them for you."

"Um……"
