Becoming a stepmother of three children gives me space

Ma Cuilan was originally pretending to be dead, but when she heard the word "compensation", she struggled and started cursing:

"You damned bastard! You hurt me and you still want me to pay you..."

Grabbing her hair, he lifted her head and slammed it against the ground. Her face made close contact with the ground.

boom! !

Blood splattered everywhere, it was even more tragic than before.

boom! !

boom!

After hitting the ground continuously, Ma Cuilan was completely motionless. The villagers were so scared that they took two steps back. It was so brutal!

The village chief was quite quick-witted. He observed the fear on the villagers' faces and guessed that Xiao Yunxi wanted to make an example of someone.

There is much trouble at the door of a widow.

She suddenly got some ill-gotten gains. If she didn't have some tricks up her sleeve, people with bad intentions would definitely come to cause trouble for her. Even if they just wanted to take advantage of her, there would be no shortage of them.

The village chief knew what was going on, and he was not vague:

"How much compensation do you intend to ask them to pay?"

"1 taels!"

Xiao Yunxi said slowly.

hiss! !

The villagers gasped.

大夏1两银子能买200斗米，约2400斤，按照现代1斤米2块计算，1两银子相当于现代的4800块的购买力！

Xiao Yunxi is asking for too much!

"Sixth brother's wife, one liang is equivalent to half a year's income. I think it would be a compromise. How about 500 wen?"

Xiao Yunxi readily agreed:

"no problem!"

Compensating money is just a means to warn others that there is a price to pay for making mistakes, so that no one will easily cause trouble.

The village chief ordered Ma Cuilan's daughter-in-law to pay the money, and both of them were about to cry:

"I...we have no money. All the money in the house is with my mother-in-law."

Ma Cuilan cursed, "You bitch! Why are you mentioning me at this time?"

Xiao Yunxi kicked her:

"Don't play dead. Are you going to give me the money or not?"

There was a roaring wind and thunder in Ma Cuilan's heart. She wanted to be a brave seagull, shouting loudly on the roaring sea and amidst the lightning: Let the storm come even harder!

"Give……"

Haiyan, be more careful. If you dare to say no, Xiao Yunxi will be ruthless, and I can't bear it with my 200 pounds!

A good pig will not suffer a loss in front of her. She has a way to get back the money she gives out now, and she will get it back ten times or a hundred times.

Ma Cuilan took out a piece of silver, less than half an ounce. Xiao Yunxi did not haggle over it and accepted it happily, then asked her two daughters-in-law to carry Ma Cuilan away.

After the melons were eaten, the villagers scattered like birds and beasts.

They always wondered when Xiao Yunxi became so powerful, but beating up Ma Cuilan was very exciting.

At the same time, I warned myself not to mess with this madman. After all, not everyone can afford to pay half a tael of silver as compensation. If I can't pay the silver, I will lose my life!

The villagers dispersed, and Xiao Yunxi washed the dirt off Xiaobao's body.

His clothes were torn into rags and could no longer be worn. There was no other clothes at home, so Aunt Li took one of Goudan's clothes and wore it first.

The villagers helped to gather the scattered meat and went into the house to look for Dabao:

"You and your stepmother found the wild boar, so you have a share of the money from selling the meat. Do you want to use it to buy land?

Dabao shook his head.

If it were yesterday, he would definitely ask for money and buy a piece of wasteland, so that his brothers and sisters would at least not starve to death.

After experiencing Xiao Yunxi risking her own life to save him, beating up Ma Cuilan to vent their anger, and forcing Ma Cuilan to pay compensation, he felt that Xiao Yunxi seemed to have really changed.

Putting her hands on her hips, she let Xiaobao beat someone up, and promised to live a good life in the future. Dabao felt that Xiao Yunxi was very kind.

No matter how mature a child is, he is still just a child and longs for his mother's care. Although he cannot fully trust her yet, Dabao decides to give his stepmother one last chance.

The village chief did not force it.

Xiao Yunxi's behavior is a bit weird, but it is also surprising. It is a good thing that Dabao is willing to give her a chance. After all, the child is too young and will be bullied even more miserably without the protection of adults.

This was also the reason why she had never made up her mind to expel Xiao Yunxi.

It was getting dark. After seeing off the village chief and Aunt Li, Xiao Yunxi felt uncomfortable and wanted to take a shower. However, she found that she had no change of clothes and no wooden tub for bathing, so she gave up reluctantly.

Sell ​​the pork tomorrow and buy a wooden barrel later.

At dawn the next day, the village boy, Daniu, came driving a bullock cart.

Load the pork onto the cart, lock the door, and ask Aunt Li to help keep an eye on it to prevent anyone from stealing the meat. As for the children, take them all with you.

Ma Cuilan is a relative of Li Zheng, and there are many males in her family. If she comes to cause trouble when she is not around, Aunt Li will not be able to protect her. It is more reassuring to keep her by her side.

Dabao's leg was dislocated again and there were external injuries that needed to be treated. She planned to go to the town to see a doctor and get some medicine to avoid any sequelae.

The driver, Da Niu, was very careful. He knew that Dabao was injured, so he drove at a very steady speed. After about 3 quarters of an hour, they arrived at Dongshan Town.

There was a big market in the morning, and the town was crowded with people.

Vegetable sellers, grocery sellers, fruit and vegetable sellers, and people shopping are coming and going, making the place quite lively.

Xiao Yunxi went straight to the butcher shop.

She asked Tieniu to park the car on the side of the road and went in alone to investigate the situation.

The price of meat varies greatly from region to region. Xiao Yunxi didn't know much about the price of meat, so she first found out the selling price so that she had a rough idea of ​​it.

The shop was doing good business, and the only things left on the stall were pig offal, large bones, and a small amount of lean meat, which were parts that people didn't like.

"Boss, how much is the meat?"

"Lean meat is 17 cents a pound, large bones are 3 cents a pound, and all the pig offal is 5 cents!"

"What's the price of fat meat?"

"Pure fat meat is 22 cents per pound, pork belly is 21 cents...but they're all sold out!"

"Business is good."

"That's right! There's a bandit incident in the next town, so the market was temporarily moved to Dongshan Town. Business is so good that all the meat is sold out. I'm still worried about what to sell tomorrow!"

Scarcity makes things valuable, supply and demand determine prices.

Daxia's livestock farming industry was underdeveloped, meat prices were high, and the boss was out of stock. Xiao Yunxi immediately became alert:

"I have half a head of wild boar meat that I just brought back from the mountains last night. If you want it, I can sell it to you at a lower price."

Hearing this, the boss was overjoyed and responded quickly:

"Bring the goods over to me and have a look. If the quality is guaranteed, I'll take it!"

Xiao Yunxi turned and walked out of the shop, waving to Da Niu. Seeing this, Da Niu drove his ox cart over and carried half of the wild boar into the shop.

The shop owner had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that this half wild boar was not only fresh in texture, but also quite large in size and fat, making it a top-notch product.

He nodded with satisfaction and said

"This meat is 8 cents a pound, what do you think?"

Xiao Yunxi shook her head without even thinking:

"That's a huge difference. Your pork belly is 21 cents!"

The boss patiently explained:

"My dear lady, you can't calculate the bill like that. Half a pig has bones and is pure lean meat. 8 cents is already very high."

Xiao Yunxi disagreed and argued:

"Pork bones account for a maximum of 20%. How about I sell them separately? I'll take the bones and sell you the pork belly and fat for 20 wen. That way, no one loses out."

The boss stared and said:

"You are asking for too much."

Xiao Yunxi smiled and said firmly:

"How about buying the whole thing and giving me 15 cents? We've eaten the meat before and it tastes great. Boss, please be quick. I'll give you priority when I have more in stock."

Xiao Yunxi had thought about selling it herself, but not only would it be a waste of time, but the goods would also go bad if she couldn't sell them all. There was really no need for that. It would be best if she could sell them all.

The boss frowned and said in embarrassment:

"In that case, I'll charge you 15 cents. If you have any goods, please send them to me."

"no problem."

Xiao Yunxi was happy, and the boss was even happier.

There is a difference between pork and pork.

The pigs in Daxia are not castrated, and the domestic ones have a strong smell and are cheap meat.

Wild boar meat has a relatively light smell and is considered a game delicacy. It is a premium meat, and the larger ones are the best of the best, and are much more expensive than ordinary pork.

The Wang family in the town married off their daughter and then sold her, making at least 2 taels of profit!

Life is like a play, it all depends on your acting skills. The tangled expression is deliberately pretended, otherwise how can you bargain! !

Xiao Yunxi didn't know that she was being cheated by a dishonest businessman and was quite satisfied with the price.

The pork was weighed, including half a side and the leftovers, and the total weight was 142 jin. At 15 wen per jin, it was 2130 wen, which was more than 2 taels of silver, a huge sum of money.

Xiao Yunxi wanted to buy the remaining offal, and the boss generously packed up the offal and bones for her.
