Koi baby helps his mother farm and becomes the richest man

Soon Zhou Yu came out with his sleeves rolled up and asked, "How can I help you?"

"Nothing," the three women said hurriedly, "We've packed it up. We'll just heat it up when we're ready to eat."

"Aren't you making dumplings?" Zhou Yu came over. "I don't know how to do anything else, but I'm okay at making dumplings. How about this, we make more and give a few to everyone in the village."

Although all the villagers were given oil, it was inevitable that no one was willing to eat it.

Xu Xia also came up with a smile, "Count me in, I can do it too!"

Zhou Yu simply asked him to call Zhang Jinzhi and others over as well.

As the year was coming to an end, apart from Zhou Yu and Xu Xia, only Zhang Jinzhi, two clerks and two guards stayed behind, while the rest went home to celebrate the New Year.

In this way, someone will take care of the chopping of stuffing, and the women will only have to knead the dough and roll out the dumpling wrappers.

Uncle Chen Jiu's family didn't have enough kitchen knives, chopping boards, wash basins and other items, so he sent Zhao Hu to the village to borrow some.

When the villagers heard this, they came to help spontaneously, leaving no place for Aunt Zhao and the other two to get in.

Qin Ying and Aunt Zhao discussed it and decided to just pick up An An and quietly go home.

But soon after arriving home, Xu Xia came chasing after her, carrying a bag and a lunch basket, "Auntie, how come you disappeared in the blink of an eye?

"Master said that those who come to help today cannot come empty-handed. This is your share. It's not much. You can add some more as you see fit.

"Inside the bundle is the New Year gift that the adults prepared for An An."

After saying that, he put down his things and ran away.

When Aunt Zhao untied the bundle and took a look, she felt extremely uneasy and hurriedly called Qin Ying over, "Yingzi, we can't accept this! It's too valuable!"

Zhao Hu didn't understand. As soon as she saw the fabric and craftsmanship, she knew that the clothes were not cheap and would be worth a lot of money if she took them to a pawnshop!

This is the way the world is. When you have no money, clothes can be used as money, because there are not many people who can afford to buy good materials and wear good clothes!

Their Tongshu Village was considered a big village and was considered wealthy in the past, but everyone at most wore clothes made of homespun cloth.

Most of the people in poor families and villages wear paper clothes.

Moreover, most farmers could not afford to buy cotton, and usually they would only buy a new cotton-filled quilt when they got married or had a son.

Qin Ying fumbled with the brand new clothes and fell into deep thought. After a while, she said, "Mom, let's take it."

"Ah?" Aunt Zhao and her son were deeply surprised. "Why?"

Qin Ying sighed, "Mom, Huzi, this dress is clearly made according to An An's size.

"People believe that it is because of our great kindness that they were able to find their relatives, so in their opinion, any reward is not excessive.

"If we insist on not accepting it, people will either think we are being hypocritical and wanting more or better things, or they will think we are unkind.

“Rich families are always very generous. What we think is unaffordable is nothing to them.

"Let's take it, and we can both feel at ease. No one will mention this matter in the future and that's it."

Aunt Zhao still felt uneasy: "But Master Zhou has been sending people off again and again this year. When will it be over?"

Qin Ying pondered for a while and said, "How about I talk to Mr. Zhou about this in a couple of days?"

"All right then," Aunt Zhao sighed. "I can't talk to a man like that. And, to be honest, even though Mr. Zhou is usually kind, he can be quite frightening when he gets stern."

"Mother, how can you say that about Lord Zhou!" Zhao Hu said dissatisfiedly, "Lord Zhou is so nice!"

"I didn't say anything bad about him!" Aunt Zhao hit him on the head, "You little brat!"

Zhao Hu rubbed the back of his head and pouted, "All you do is beat me up!"

Aunt Zhao raised her hand towards him. He shrank his neck and took two steps back. "I'll go look after An An!"

An An had fallen asleep a long time ago.

Aunt Zhao lowered her voice and said, "Yingzi, in fact, from my heart, I really think that accepting these things is nothing. After all, if it weren't for An An, Master Zhou wouldn't be able to do things so smoothly.

"Maybe it was thanks to An An that we were able to find his sister this time.

"But we can't talk about this openly! What will the villagers say if An An goes out wearing this new dress tomorrow?"

She raised her hand and touched Qin Ying's arm, and said earnestly: "Yingzi, Huzi and I are not afraid of anything, but you are still young, and you have a long life ahead of you. You can't ignore these things!

"What if Guo Wen comes back and you two get into a fight because of all the gossip?

"It would be easier if he died outside!"

Qin Ying was at a loss for words. Although there was no romantic relationship between her and Guo Wen, he had really taken good care of her during those years. Even if they were not destined to be husband and wife, she still hoped that he could return safely.

As the two were talking, a shrill voice suddenly rang out from outside: "Qin Ying! Where the hell have you been?! Why is there no one in my house?!"

It's a girl.

Although she hadn't heard that voice in two years, Aunt Zhao recognized it immediately: "Guo Ni'er?"

She held Qin Ying down and walked out, looking coldly at the little girl next door who was hunching her shoulders and hunching her back.

The girl hadn't grown much taller than she was two years ago. She was thin and skinny, and her clothes were dirty, torn, and didn't fit her well. Her hair was dry and yellow, and was tied into two buns on her head.

His face was red from the wind and covered with dark wrinkles. Because he was too thin, his cheekbones were prominent and his eyes, with three white sclera, were full of impatience.

The gate of the courtyard fence of our eastern neighbor, the Guo family, was originally tied with hemp rope. The doors of their houses were also locked.

Although Qin Ying had moved from the Guo family to the Zhao family a long time ago, she would still go there from time to time to clean the house to prevent it from decaying due to lack of care.

But at this time, half of the fence gate was broken and the door to the main room was wide open.

"Oh, who was it?" Aunt Zhao said sarcastically, crossing her arms. "It turns out to be Guo Nier, who followed her uncle to live a good life!"

Guo Nier turned around and saw her, forcing a smile: "Aunt Zhao! I haven't seen you for two years. I hope your family is doing well!"

Guo Nier looked at her cotton-padded jacket, her eyes filled with greed. "This jacket is 90% new! Not a single patch! Can it be exchanged for more food?"

Unconsciously, she came over and asked with a shameless face, "Aunt Zhao, do you know Qin..." She knew that Aunt Zhao couldn't stand her bullying Qin Ying, so she quickly changed the topic, "Do you know where my sister-in-law went?

"Why is it that when I get home, the stove is cold and there's nothing to eat?"

"What else could there be at your house?" Aunt Zhao sneered. "Didn't you ask your uncle to take everything away when you left? He even took away the pot, and you still have a cold pot?"

Then a woman came out of the house and greeted Aunt Zhao with a smile: "Aunt Zhao, Happy New Year! I heard that your village is doing well. We didn't see my nephew's wife when we came back. Do you know where she went?"
