The eldest sister-in-law became rich by farming in the mountains

She really had no confidence in asking this question, after all, the current situation of the Feng family was caused by her.

Feng Xing shook his head and said nothing.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't mean to come to your house to cause trouble." Xu Yingtao admitted her mistake sincerely.

Feng Xing suddenly asked, "Do you want brine?"

"You ask me?" Xu Yingtao raised her eyebrows in surprise.

"Didn't you just say that making dried tofu and tofu skin doesn't require brine?" Feng Xing looked a little dazed.

Xu Yingtao was confused. Even if she wanted to make dried tofu and tofu skin, she could just ask someone to buy them in town and would never ask the Feng family for them.

But since Feng Xing asked, she didn't hide it: "It's useful."

As soon as he finished speaking, Feng Xing took out a gourd from his arms and handed it to him: "Keep it and use it. You don't have to return it. I have more at home."

Xu Yingtao hesitated for a moment, thanked him solemnly, and took it. Then she looked at the man in front of her seriously.

He was in his thirties, and looked more like Tao. He looked upright and honest, with a dull look in his eyes, as if he was daydreaming.

It seems that he was obviously hit hard.

Xu Yingtao sighed and apologized sincerely again. She had just come to discuss cooperation, but she didn't expect it to be so bloody.

Feng Xing shook his head: "You are right, I should thank you."

Xu Yingtao thought to herself that it was true. If she hadn't exposed Old Man Feng's scam, the old man would have had to enslave his wife and children with lies for the rest of his life.

What a scheming old Deng.

Thinking of this, most of the guilt in my heart disappeared immediately.

She asked tentatively, "Then I'll call you Uncle Feng Xing, too. I'm sure you've heard my conversation with your father. If you're interested, we can work together. If you're not interested, that's fine. Anyway, my business doesn't conflict with yours, so you don't have to make a decision so quickly. Just give me a definite answer tomorrow morning."

Feng Xing couldn't think at all now, he just nodded.

Soon, Jiang and Zhou helped Tao out of the house. The latter was still sobbing and complaining about the "evil deeds" of old man Feng over the years.

Mrs. Zhou advised, "Sister, don't get angry and hurt yourself. It's not worth it! From now on, you should eat and drink properly. You don't have to work like a cow or a horse for a man. You have to live a good life. Good days are still to come!"

Tao's daughter-in-law also ran out with the child in her arms, and with red eyes she advised: "Mother, Aunt Zhou is right, your health is the most important thing. You are a very blessed person, you can't let the dead old man make you angry."

Xu Yingtao was shocked when she heard this.

Even in her time and space, a daughter-in-law would not dare to openly slander her father-in-law. Tao's daughter-in-law looked weak and timid, but she was surprisingly bold.

It's really fresh.

It was obvious that this cooperation could not be reached for the time being. After appeasing Mrs. Tao, Mrs. Zhou hurriedly asked the two to leave.

"Cherry, it's all thanks to you, otherwise I wouldn't have known that Feng Mazi is such a heartless person!"

On the way back, Mrs. Zhou was filled with righteous indignation and scolded Old Man Feng.

"At the beginning, his eldest granddaughter accidentally knocked over a gourd, so he cruelly hung the girl up and beat her half to death. But he was not satisfied with the beating, so he punished the child to kneel in the snow for a night. The snow was really heavy that year, and it was freezing cold. How could a seven-year-old child endure it? As a result, the child froze to death the next day. It was really a sin!"

"Feng Xing and his wife were depressed for six or seven years because of this incident. There was no laughter or vitality in the family. It was not until last year that they had a boy, which gave them some hope. But think about that girl. She lost her life because of such a small thing. It's really pitiful."

"The villagers used to think that the girl had died of some disease, but they didn't expect that she died just because of five cents a pound of brine. This Feng Mazi is really crazy and has no humanity at all. Just wait and see, the dead old man will get his retribution sooner or later!"

Although Jiang had heard about this matter from Tao before, her eyes turned red when she heard it again from Mrs. Zhou, and she kept wiping her tears with her sleeves.

She also has a daughter, and she hates to see her daughter suffer.

Xu Yingtao didn't cry, but she felt as if a huge stone had fallen on her heart, making it difficult for her to breathe.

It was not because of the five cents per pound of brine. It was clearly because Old Man Feng wanted to maintain his absolute authority and use violence to highlight his status in the family.

However, this seemingly sacred and inviolable status and authority was built up of huge lies. In order to cover up the lie, Old Man Feng did not hesitate to sacrifice his granddaughter's life.

This also explains why Feng Xing was so distraught after the lie was exposed, and why his wife openly cursed her father-in-law.

It's all retribution.

As soon as the few people entered the house, Zheng Wen followed closely.

"Uncle, you've worked hard. Please sit down and have a bowl of water." Xu Yingtao personally poured him a bowl of water and brought a bowl to Zheng Wu who was pounding rice.

Zheng Wen gulped down a bowl of water before saying, "Cherry, Manager Luo from Jishiditang asked me to pass on a message to you. He said that the county pharmacy has just received a batch of chili peppers, about thirty kilograms. If you want them, he will have them delivered to the town."

"want!"

It's really like someone giving you a pillow when you feel sleepy.

Zheng Wen smiled and said, "That's fine. I'll pass the message to you tomorrow."

Zheng Wu refused to do it: "Tomorrow it will be my turn to run errands for Yingtao, big brother, don't snatch it away!"

Zheng Wen curled his lips: "I don't think you want to run errands for Yingtao, you just want to eat for free."

For a moment, the room was filled with laughter.

Mrs. Zhou asked again, "Da Wen, are there many people in the town today? When will your father be back?"

"There will be far fewer people than yesterday. I heard from Dad that there are only about 20 households left in our village who can pay the full amount. Let's save some food for him at noon."

Mrs. Zhou sighed, and couldn't help cursing the world, then nodded.

Xu Yingtao comforted her: "Grandma, instead of being sad and angry, you might as well help me select the list of villagers. I want those who deliver jelly to the villages and those who help in the tofu workshop. "

Mrs. Zhou was successfully diverted and asked, "There are ten households selling jelly, so how many households do you want to go to the tofu workshop?"

Xu Yingtao pondered for a moment and roughly estimated the number of people.

"You can start by selecting according to the standard of 20 households. Only women and maids are needed. If it is not enough, we can add more later."

Mrs. Zhou patted her chest and assured: "Don't worry, I will definitely choose someone who is nimble and has a tight mouth for you!"

"Thank you for your concern, grandma." Xu Yingtao thanked him and added, "Grandpa will definitely gather the whole village to announce this matter tomorrow, so I thought of making some sample food for everyone in the village to try, so as to give everyone some confidence. When the time comes, I will ask the aunts and uncles to come to my house to help with the transportation."

The Zheng family members all agreed.

Because Jiang still had to go back to take medicine, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law decided not to stay in Zheng's house any longer. They only agreed to continue the discussion after the village chief returned home in the afternoon.

However, as soon as Xu Yingtao stepped out of the door, she saw Feng Xing, whom she had just met not long ago, rushing into the yard like a madman.
