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

The two of them went to the market to find Zeng Hua and Zhang Danniu, chatting and laughing.

I saw they were busy with their work.

The two people quickly stepped forward to help.

Zhang Daniu went to fetch water.

As soon as the water was fetched, Zhang Da Nv quickly washed the dishes.

Wang Qiuxia helped cut the mulberry leaf tofu into pieces the same size as jelly, Jiang Xiaohe helped add sugar water or seasonings, and Zeng Hua collected the money.

After working for most of the hour, I finally sold out everything in the bucket.

The group of people were so hot that they were wiping their sweat. Fortunately, Jiang Xiaohe's stall was under the shade of a tree.

Zeng Hua only then smiled and said, "Luckily you came."

Zhang Da Nv wiped the sweat off her forehead and nodded in agreement, "That's right! Fortunately, my cousin's wife and my aunt are here, otherwise we would be too busy! When we came this morning, no one bought anything. It was only after my eldest brother yelled twice that people came. But there weren't many people. In the end, we held the bowls for others to taste and sold some. Who would have thought that the market was about to be cleared, but more people came."

Jiang Xiaohe poured her a bowl of water and let her catch her breath before talking.

"Thank you, cousin."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "This business will be good. In the morning, the weather is cool, so there are few people buying. As the sun gets higher and hotter, more people will buy. After all, this thing tastes cool and delicious, right?"

Zeng Hua smiled and nodded and said yes, then asked them if all the items were sold out.

Jiang Xiaohe nodded: "Second Aunt, do you want to buy anything? My mother and I plan to go to the market to buy some things and then go back."

"You need to buy, you need to buy. We don't have much brown sugar left at home. Go buy some more, and then buy some other things." After saying that, he looked at Zhang Daniu and said, "Daniu, aren't you going to talk about dating? But he doesn't even have a decent set of clothes. I made some money today, so I thought of buying him some cloth and making him a new set of clothes."

Wang Qiuxia nodded in agreement: "That's right... As the saying goes, clothes make the man, and after cleaning up, he will look more energetic."

"No!"

Zhang Daniu looked at Jiang Xiaohe silently and thought, wouldn't my cousin's wife be more beautiful if she wore new clothes?

Zhang Daniu walked up to him, pinched him, and whispered, "Brother, be careful."

Only then did he come to his senses.

However, Jiang Xiaohe didn't pay attention to these. She bought meat and bones today, and also bought some white flour. She really couldn't get used to eating steamed corn bread, which made her throat choke. Thinking about the wine at home, she finally made up her mind to buy one or two silver coins' worth of white sugar. She was reluctant to put more white sugar in the wine before, after all, she didn't have much silver in her hand, and it would be better to keep some for herself. But after selling the silver today, she was willing to give it up.

After Zeng Hua bought the brown sugar, he went to tear off a foot of cloth, thought about it, and bought half a pound of meat.

We wanted to go back by ox cart, but it was getting late, so we had to hurry back. Fortunately, there were many people and it was lively.

When we got to the village entrance, Zeng Hua said, "Come to my house for lunch."

"That won't work. You guys have been busy all morning."

Zeng Hua shook his head and said, "You have to come. If it weren't for Xiao He, my family wouldn't make any money today. We have to eat this meal."

Since she said so, they couldn't refuse and could only agree.

After returning home, Jiang Xiaohe went to see Zhang Chuan. The baby was awake longer and longer during the day, probably because it was too hot recently, but he could sleep well at night.

Wang Qiuxia put down her things and went out with the basin to wash clothes. This summer, clothes had to be washed every day at home.

When I arrived at the river, I found a shady place and just squatted down, Wu Qiulan came.

"Sister Wang is washing clothes too! It's the middle of the day, and I thought there was no one by the river."

Wang Qiuxia smiled and said, "I went to town this morning, so I'm free now."

Wu Qiulan put the basin next to her and said enviously, "That's because your wife is capable and has gone to town to do business again."

Wang Qiuxia smiled and nodded, wet the clothes with her hands, smeared soap on them, and began to beat the clothes.

Wu Qiulan asked her again: "You know about Li Taohua and Zhang Long, right?"

"What happened to them?"

"So, you didn't know!"

Wang Qiuxia nodded, but she actually didn’t want to know.

"Yesterday, Sun Tingfang went back home after causing trouble at your house. As soon as he arrived at the doorstep, he ran into Chen Guifang who came to the door aggressively..."

It turned out that yesterday, Chen Guifang threatened Zhang Long's family that if they did not take the bride price and marry Li Taohua earlier, she would go to the government office to sue Zhang Long for defiling her daughter and have him go to jail!

Sun Tingfang was so angry that she wanted to die, but she only had one son, Zhang Long...

They couldn't really let him be arrested by the government, so they could only compromise and ask for silver, but they bargained down to five taels!

After listening to this, Wang Qiuxia felt that they both deserved it as they were biting each other.

"So is the date set?"

Wu Qiulan shook her head: "Sun Tingfang said that she would wait until her husband came back before celebrating the festival..."

"She's not afraid that Li Taohua will look ugly if she gets a big belly!"

Wu Qiulan nodded in agreement: "That's right! If you ask me, Chen Guifang is not a good person either. If I were Li Taohua's mother, with such a bad daughter, I would have pushed her into the river and drowned her to avoid bringing disgrace to our family!"

Wang Qiuxia just listened without saying anything. After washing the clothes in a few seconds, she went home carrying the basin.

Zeng Hua also came over and called for dinner.

At the dinner table, Zeng Hua smiled and thanked Jiang Xiaohe for introducing this business to her.

Zhang Quan was also sincerely grateful to his cousin's wife. Just now, Zeng Hua pulled him into the house and told him how much money they had earned today. This was more than what he and Daniu earned in the quarry in a whole day. To be honest, their two families had separated a long time ago, but Jiang Xiaohe was still willing to help them like this, and he was really grateful.

Lifting the wine glass, Zhang Quan said, "I really want to thank Xiao He for this meal, and thank you to my elder brother and sister-in-law."

After saying that, he raised his glass and drank it.

Zeng Hua smiled and said, "He doesn't talk much, let me say a few words!" As soon as he said this, Zeng Hua's eyes turned red.

"Hey, Uncle and Aunt, what are you doing?"

"Xiao He, let Second Aunt finish what she is saying."

Zeng Hua wiped his eyes with his sleeve and continued, "It's not easy for us farmers to make a little money. Xiao He also shared the money from the wild boar she killed with us before. Now she is willing to tell us this way to make money. Our family is really grateful to her..."

Jiang Xiaohe couldn't stand it any longer: "Okay, Second Aunt, let's not talk about anything else. Aren't we a family? We shouldn't have different opinions!"

Zhang Fu nodded: "Yes, Xiao He is right. We are a family. You have helped us a lot during the days when Da Shan was away. What Xiao He is doing now is what we should do."

Zhang Quan blinked his eyes and said, "Okay, okay, big brother has spoken, so let's not talk about that anymore. Let's eat. Today's lunch is all your second aunt's specialty! Xiaohe, eat more."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded. Looking at the family at the dinner table, she felt that this family was simple, down-to-earth, and grateful. They were a very good family...
