When Jiang Xiaohe heard this, she was delighted. This was a good thing. Next time she saw that boy, she would definitely ask him to help thank his wife.

Jiang Xiaohe quickly weighed it, divided it into two large bags, and handed them to Shopkeeper Yu. Shopkeeper Yu knew her price and paid for it.

"Thank you, Shopkeeper Yu, for what happened today."

"No, no, in fact, you are doing me a favor. Just buying them this, the two customers gave me a lot of tips."

Jiang Xiaohe happily took nearly ten taels of silver and went to the market to find Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu was buying a sickle. When he saw her coming over, he was surprised: "It's sold out so quickly?"

"Today, a regular customer introduced two customers and they bought everything."

Zhang Fu was also happy when he heard her say that: "I didn't expect that thing to be so popular."

"Dad, you go buy some food first. I'll go buy some meat and flour. We'll be busy every day in the coming days. How can a family with no food have the energy to work?"

Zhang Fu nodded: "Okay, let's meet at the oxcart later."

Jiang Xiaohe took out another tael of silver and gave it to Zhang Fu.

Zhang Fu quickly refused: "Dad has too much money to spend."

Jiang Xiaohe asked him to take it, but Zhang Fu was unwilling to do so. Finally, he had no choice but to take his hand back.

Arrived in front of the butcher's stall.

When the butcher saw her, he immediately smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a while. How much do you want today?"

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and said, "I was busy at home a few days ago, please give me two pounds, and I also want your bones."

"Right away!" The boss cut the meat quickly and Jiang Xiaohe paid readily.

Then she bought some flour and rice, turned around and saw someone selling chicks in the distance, so she hurried over. Wang Qiuxia had always wanted to buy a few chickens to raise, and she had been keeping an eye on them these days. Today, she finally saw someone selling chicks, so she walked over. The chicks were not expensive, five cents each. Jiang Xiaohe selected about ten chicks and put them in a backpack, then went to meet Zhang Fu on the ox cart.

Zhang Fu bought a sickle and a rope, which were needed for work.

When he saw Jiang Xiaohe bought a chick, he immediately smiled and said, "Your mother should be happy now."

"I just heard my mother talking about it several times. It was rare to see them for sale today, so I bought ten."

When the people on the ox cart saw that Jiang Xiaohe had bought chicks, they immediately became jealous again: "We farmers raise chickens and can just hatch the chicks ourselves. Why do we have to go to town to buy them? We really know how to live!"

Jiang Xiaohe immediately retorted rudely: "You are better at living than you are."

He Xiu snorted immediately.

Jiang Xiaohe looked at the unsold wild sweet potatoes in her basket and chuckled, "So you didn't sell any of your stuff! Why can't you bear to see other people buying things?"

"You! Jiang Xiaohe, don't be so arrogant!"

"I am arrogant. I made money and bought some things. Do I have to be sneaky in front of you?"

He Xiuqi was so angry that the words "I made money" made her even more angry. Looking at the wild fruits in her hands that she had not sold, she wanted to throw them all on Jiang Xiaohe's face.

This thing has only been on the market for a short time, and it’s already all over the market. It used to be sold at a lower price, but now no one even wants to buy it.

What she didn't know was that when Jiang Xiaohe was not planning to do the wild sweet potato business, she told the vegetable seller where this thing grew and on what kind of vine it grew. The vegetable seller spread the word, and then ten to a hundred people, and then many people started buying it.

Moreover, this wild sweet potato does not grow for long, and it is almost out of the market.

When we arrived at the village, some families had already started picking corn.

When she got home, Wang Qiuxia had just hung up the clothes and was preparing to sweep the yard.

"Mom, come here and see what good things I bought."

After saying that, he put down the backpack and took out a chick.

Wang Qiuxia immediately put down the broom, walked over, and took a look at the basket of chicks.

“How much did you buy this?”

"Not many, only ten."

Wang Qiuxia looked at him with joy in her eyes.

Zhang Fu looked at it and couldn't help but smile on his dark face. This family seemed to be getting better and better.

At lunch, Wang Qiuxia asked Zhang Fu, "Boss, which field should we start harvesting from?"

"Let's start from the area at the foot of the mountain. I'll sharpen the sickle at home this afternoon, and we'll start working early tomorrow morning."

Wang Qiuxia nodded quickly: "Yes, we have to hurry up. I heard from my second uncle that it will rain in the next few days. If we don't collect them now, they will get wet in the rain and sprouts will probably appear."

Zhang Fu nodded.

The next day, Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Fu got up before dawn.

When Jiang Xiaohe heard the noise, she quickly got up as well.

"Dad, Mom, I'm with you."

Wang Qiuxia quickly said no, "We don't have much land at home, your father and I can do it, you just stay at home and cook for us, and take care of Chuan'er."

"Your mother is right. She and I, one breaking the corn stalks while the other cutting them, is just right."

As they spoke, Wang Qiuxia filled a bamboo tube with water, and the two of them went out, carrying their loads.

It was too late for Jiang Xiaohe to say anything.

When they came back, Zhang Fu was carrying a load on his shoulder and Wang Qiuxia was carrying a backpack. Both the load and the backpack were full of corn.

"Xiao He, bring the cool mat under the eaves over here."

Jiang Xiaohe quickly took the mat and spread it out in the yard.

The two men poured the corn onto the mat and went up the mountain again without even having time to drink a sip of water.

After running several times, he finally harvested all the corn in a field.

Jiang Xiaohe quickly got some water for the two of them to wash, and then brought the porridge and buns she had made to the table.

"You want to eat so well this early in the morning?"

"Mom, it's not early at all. It's already mid-morning. You and Dad have been busy all morning. What's wrong with having something delicious?"

Wang Qiuxia knew that she was filial, and felt warm in her heart: "It will only take a few days."

In the following days, Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Fu went out early every morning and came back when the sun was shining brightly. After breakfast, the family was busy threshing the corn so that they could quickly dry it and store it in the warehouse. It took them more than half a month to finish the work.

The people in the village were all working, and even if they met on the road, they no longer stopped to talk like before. They just greeted each other quickly and went to the fields.

Jiang Xiaohe just does laundry, cooking and takes care of Zhang Chuan every day, and she feels exhausted, let alone Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Fu.

The two of them kept saying that they were not tired, but when she washed their clothes, she saw that the shoulders of the clothes they wore to work were all worn out!

Jiang Xiaohe found a village doctor and bought some ointment, which she gave to Wang Qiuxia.

Wang Qiuxia said distressedly: "Why spend this money!"

"Here you go! Take it!" After saying that, he went to work.

Wang Qiuxia took the ointment back to the house, put it on the bed, and said to Zhang Fu: "Look, my daughter-in-law bought it."

Zhang Fu pinched his shoulders. It was not like he didn't hear what was said outside. "Since she is our daughter-in-law, she should be filial to us. You can use it to wipe it for me."

Wang Qiuxia gave him a reproachful look and said, "You really know how to enjoy yourself." As she spoke, she rubbed the skin on Zhang Fu's shoulders. The skin on his shoulders had been completely worn out in just half a month. It would get a little better, but it would be worn out again the next day. It happened over and over again and again and became a little inflamed.

Wang Qiuxia felt distressed, and her hands became lighter. After wiping him, she asked him, "Are you feeling better?"

Zhang Fu put on his clothes and said, "It won't be that fast. But it's cool, so it doesn't hurt that much. Come, let me wipe yours too... In a month or so, we'll have to harvest the rice, and it will be even more tiring then..."
