In the years of famine, I led a comfortable life with my husband
Chapter 14 Preparing for Business
At the same time, the angry old lady calmed down, but she still did not regret the decision she had just made. After all, in her opinion, the three houses with only orphans and widows left could not provide her with any substantial help, so it didn't matter even if the family was divided.
At this moment, Meng, who had been silent for a long time, suddenly stood up and agreed to the old lady's request without hesitation.
"it is good."
Seeing her daughter standing in front of her like a little adult, supporting her and taking on all the controversies for her, it was time for her to do something.
"Let's split up. Anyway, I haven't relied on you for anything over the years, nor have I gained any benefits from you. Now that we've split up, we can each live separately and do our own things."
Meng said without fear.
After she finished speaking, she picked up a broom and chased everyone in the yard, "Since we have separated, this is our third branch's place. People from your first and second branches should not come in unless necessary."
After saying that, Meng pretended to take a broom to chase them away. No one expected that Meng, who had always been weak, would turn against them so quickly.
Su Zhonghuai was hit several times with a broom by Meng because he ran slowly due to a lame leg.
"Just wait for me. I will remember what happened today." Su Zhonghuai said vicious words to Meng while trying to escape.
After driving away all the people from the Su family in the yard, Meng suddenly felt that the air in the yard was much cleaner.
Meng turned around and looked at Su Zhizhi. Su Zhizhi really didn't expect that Meng had changed so much today. She actually dared to pick up a broom and chase after the Su family to beat them.
Meng suddenly felt a little embarrassed, but also a little ashamed. She took Su Zhizhi's hand and said, "It's all my fault. I don't have the ability, so I let you be bullied by them."
Su Zhizhi's eyes suddenly turned red after hearing this. "It's okay. Now we have separated from them and have nothing to do with them. We just need to work hard to live our lives well."
"Yes! As long as our family works together, I believe we can live a happy life." Su Peizhi on the side also spoke.
Seeing that Su Peizhi had become sensible, Mrs. Meng felt very relieved, "Okay, okay."
Several people hugged each other tightly, as if they wanted to rely on each other.
Afterwards, everyone had a very peaceful period of time. No one from the Su family came to disturb Su Zhizhi's family, and Su Zhizhi's family was also very happy.
early morning.
Su Zhizhi looked at Meng, who had gotten up early, and asked curiously, "Mother, what are you doing?"
Meng took out a needle and thread and began to embroider on a square handkerchief.
"I recently got a job making handkerchiefs for a small workshop in the county. They charge me two cents for each handkerchief. If the pattern is more complicated, they charge me three cents. It's just enough to make some money to supplement the family income."
Meng looked at Su Zhizhi and explained with a smile.
Su Zhizhi was immediately excited when she heard that she could make money. She moved the stool and sat next to Meng without hesitation. "Okay, then mother, I will embroider with you."
After saying that, she began to pick up the needle beside her.
A second passed.
A minute passed.
Five minutes passed.
Su Zhizhi still kept holding the needle in her left hand and the handkerchief in her right hand.
Finally, Su Zhizhi was defeated.
"Well, mother, this handkerchief show is too complicated. I don't know how to make it." Su Zhizhi said with a sad face.
Seeing Su Zhizhi's devastated look, Meng quickly spoke to comfort her, "It's okay. Let me embroider the handkerchief. You can go around and see what you can do."
"Okay." Su Zhizhi nodded helplessly.
In this way, Su Zhizhi walked around their house carefully. This was the first time she carefully observed the place where she lived since she came here.
Unconsciously, Su Zhizhi arrived at the vegetable garden. Looking at the overgrown vegetable garden, Su Zhizhi fell into deep thought.
She squatted down and picked up some soil in her hand, only to find that the soil here was extremely fertile and a perfect place for growing vegetables.
Su Zhizhi observed it again and found that not only the land in their vegetable garden was good, but the land in the entire village was good, and the vegetables grown there were big and fresh.
Seeing this, Su Zhizhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and a bold idea suddenly came into her mind.
She can buy vegetables from the villagers and then open a restaurant in town!
Su Zhizhi trotted back and couldn't wait to share her idea with Mrs. Meng.
"Mom! Mom! I have an idea." Su Zhizhi said to Meng excitedly.
"What makes you so excited?" Meng looked at Su Zhizhi with a smile.
"Mom, I've seen that the land in our village is fertile. We can grow some vegetables and then open a tavern in the county town. That way, we can be our own bosses and be self-sufficient. What do you think?"
Su Zhizhi told Meng all her thoughts.
After hearing this, Meng fell into deep thought.
After a long while, she slowly said, "Your idea is certainly good, but... first of all, the vegetables grown by the villagers in our village are all for their own consumption. There is no extra vegetables to sell to others."
"Secondly, isn't it a bit shocking for a girl like you to open a restaurant? What kind of girl would go out in public to do business? Mother doesn't have any other intentions. She's mainly worried about your safety and the gossips from those gossipy women in the village."
As a mother, Meng has her own considerations.
After hearing this, Su Zhizhi fell into deep thought, and most of her excitement and excitement disappeared.
"Okay, then I'll think about it." After saying that, Su Zhizhi turned around and went back to the room.
Coincidentally, at this moment, Xie Chengjin also woke up.
When Xie Chengjin looked up, he saw Su Zhizhi, who looked like a wilted eggplant, enter the room.
"What's wrong with you? What happened? Why are you so dispirited?" Xie Chengjin asked hurriedly.
Su Zhizhi sighed, and then told Xie Chengjin everything that had just happened.
Unexpectedly, Xie Chengjin's eyes lit up immediately after hearing this, and he spoke without hesitation, "I think your ideas are all very good. You won't make any money working for others your whole life. We should dare to think and act. Only then may we have a chance to change the status quo. I support your idea."
After saying that, Xie Chengjin took out a small wooden box from under the bed and handed it to Su Zhizhi.
"This is..." Su Zhizhi took the wooden box with a puzzled look on her face, only to find that it was full of money.
"This is the private money I've saved for years, prepared for emergencies. I never thought it would come in handy at this critical moment. I'm giving this to you as start-up capital for the inn. I believe you can make a great career."
Xie Chengjin looked at Su Zhizhi seriously.
Su Zhizhi felt warm in her heart after hearing this, "Thank you."
"Why are you being so polite to me? We are all family." Xie Chengjin said with a smile.
