The fat wife is rebellious: she was spoiled by the group on the way to escape famine

This amount of money was exactly what Jiang Jinhe had expected.

Song Yuyu held the heavy silver ingot in her hand, her eyes almost shining with excitement.

"Oh my god, we really made a small fortune! From now on, we can buy whatever we want!"

But as soon as he uttered this sentence, he was immediately stopped by Aunt Song.

"What do you want to buy? You can't spend this money carelessly. Prices are changing every day now, so you have to save some money."

Song Yuyu took a look at the backpack full of goodies, including beautiful skirts and shoes, and she felt very envious.

But she didn't dare say it!

The memory of the beating I received not long ago is still fresh in my mind, and I don’t want to go back to those days of eating coarse food day after day.

Then I thought again, I got two purple-haired rabbits to make clothes just by saying a few words, and I couldn't help but feel happy again.

As long as I can eat meat by following my third sister-in-law, I will never cause trouble again.

However, Jiang Jinhe saw through her little thoughts at a glance, and directly took out a skirt from the backpack and stuffed it into Song Yuyu.

"Mom, I have plenty of clothes here. This one should be given to Yuyu. Doesn't my eldest sister-in-law know how to make clothes? We can buy some more cloth and make new clothes for everyone. Xiaocao and the others should dress up a little, too."

In fact, Aunt Song didn’t want her family to wear new clothes, but mainly wanted to save money.

As you get older, you naturally have to think more.

Now is a time of fierce struggle within the court. The eight princes are fighting for territorial rights and frequently relocating people and changing their household registration.

If King Chen were to fall one day, the whole family might be forced to move to some unfamiliar place again.

Moreover, money is needed to deal with regular troops or various exorbitant taxes.

"Jinhe, the weather is getting colder and colder. Our family will have no income for the next three months. When spring comes, we still have to prepare for planting and pay taxes. There are so many expenses!"

Aunt Song's brows were tightly furrowed, her eyes full of worry and helplessness.

The cold wind had begun to seep into the house through the gaps in the old windows, making people feel a chill.

This winter will be particularly difficult, with little money left in the family to deal with any problems that may arise.

Spring is coming, which not only means a new beginning, but also represents a series of necessary expenses. Whether it is purchasing seeds or paying taxes, each item is a considerable burden.

"This skirt was originally bought for you. It doesn't matter if other people don't wear new clothes."

Jiang Jinhe looked at the beautiful dress and thought silently in her heart.

Although she also liked the new clothes, considering the family's difficulties, she felt that now was not a good time to buy new clothes.

So she tried to get the skirt back from her sister-in-law who had already got it.

But how could Song Yuyu be willing to give up what she had just obtained?

He hugged her tightly and refused to let go, almost crying.

"Mother, my third sister-in-law has already agreed to give it to me. Can you please stop worrying about it? I'm already so old and I've never had such beautiful clothes. I'm getting married soon, right? Who would be willing to marry me if I don't look good?"

She argued in a choked voice, with tears in her eyes as she begged for her mother's understanding and support.

For a young girl, owning a beautiful dress of her own is such a dream.

Upon hearing this, the old lady got angry and picked up the broom on the ground to teach the boy a lesson.

"What nonsense are you talking about, little girl? Do you even know how to write the word shame?"

In her opinion, her daughter's behavior completely violates the values ​​of traditional family and she should not forget her identity and responsibilities for the sake of beauty.

However, besides being angry, I couldn't help but feel pity for her. After all, she was my dearest child.

In an instant, the mother and daughter were running around in the house, and the scene was very chaotic.

Jiang Jinhe watched the two chasing each other in the room, feeling both amused and speechless.

As the most rational member of the family, she understood that someone needed to step forward to stabilize the situation before they could continue to discuss solutions to the problem.

Seeing all this, Jiang Jinhe was really impressed by her little sister who loved beauty.

It's really speechless that he would disregard everything for a skirt.

She had no choice but to step forward to stop Aunt Song from chasing after her. "Mother, don't worry. There will always be a way to solve this predicament. Isn't the money we work so hard to earn meant to be used? If those who earn money can't even buy decent clothes, why bother working so hard?"

These words contain her understanding and tolerance, and she hopes to persuade her family to temporarily put aside their prejudices and face the difficulties together.

Song Yuyu echoed the words...

"That's right, Third Sister-in-law is right. Mother, just listen to her."

Although she still longed to wear that beautiful dress, it was obviously wiser to choose to support her third sister-in-law's opinion in the face of more important things at the moment.

Aunt Song was so angry that she wanted to attack again. At this time, Song Yuanmu suddenly coughed a few times, indicating that he had something to say.

"Old Third, your mother has some truth in what she said. We have to plan for the future."

He intervened in this family conflict in a gentler yet more dignified manner, hoping to use this opportunity to allow everyone to calm down and think about the importance of long-term development.

"We did make some money this time, but I'm afraid no one will hire us to make furniture or beds again. Unless someone needs a new bed for a wedding."

As an experienced person, he is well aware of the volatile nature of this industry and that it is necessary to be prepared and plan ahead to prevent more difficulties in the future.

After hearing this, Song Yuanshan and Song Wenxiao nodded silently.

They also realized that if the entire family wanted to continue to prosper, it was far from enough to rely solely on existing resources and technology. They also needed to constantly seek out and seize opportunities to open up a broader living space and development path.

Jiang Jinhe had anticipated this situation a long time ago.

Most families in the village use bamboo to build their kangs, while some people are more frugal and simply pick up flat stones to use as the edges of the kang. This way, they not only have a place to sleep, but they also save on benches.

Moreover, the earthen kang is much larger than an ordinary bed, and the extra space can be used to store various sundries, and even the wardrobe can be omitted.

This design makes the Song family's carpentry skills basically useless.

As for the work of blacksmiths, the villagers can only make farm tools at most.

A tool can be used for several years, so it is almost impossible to make a fortune from this craft.

However, Jiang Jinhe's goal is far from just staying at these small interests.

She was not satisfied with the returns from her small business which only earned her a few dozen or even a dozen cents each time.

Thinking of the long winter that was coming, a smile involuntarily appeared on Jiang Jinhe's lips.
