Divorcing your wife might feel good for a moment, but seeing me make money will make you regret it f

My mother is different now. Before, when she lived in the Shi family, she had to do a lot of work every day and she also had to dig up wild vegetables to cook.

Two meals of boiled wild vegetables a day were considered very good. Every time she watched her father and grandmother eat porridge, she would swallow her saliva uncontrollably.

But her mother would only scold her, telling her to watch her eyes and to find what she wanted to eat herself.

Now her mother has become very gentle and even gives her meat to eat. Every day back at her maternal grandmother's house is so blissful.

After serving rice to everyone, Ms. Wen solemnly said, "Let's eat."

Xu Jian and Xu Gong picked up their rice bowls and began to wolf down their food.

The two ate while exclaiming, "It's so delicious, Mom! Your cooking is amazing!"

"Little sister, eat quickly, here, your second brother will get you some."

"I'll put some on your plate too, big fatty meat. One bite and your mouth is full of oil, it's so delicious. The lean meat your second brother puts on isn't good."

After fawning over Xu Qing, Xu Jian looked down at Xu Beibei in his hands and said:

"Little niece, grow up quickly, and when you grow up, your uncle will give you a big piece of fatty meat."

Xu Qing joked, "Isn't the baby your niece? Why don't you put some on her plate?"

Xu Gong, always eager for a good show, chimed in, "Yeah, yeah, why aren't you giving the baby any?"

Xu Jian blushed, and fearing that Xu Baobao would be angry, he quickly explained:

“Baby, don’t listen to their nonsense. Your mother just said that you can’t eat too much, so your uncle didn’t put any on your plate.”

Xu Baobao said obediently, "I know, Uncle, you love me the most."

Xu Jian finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at the family bickering, a smile of satisfaction appeared on Wen's lips.

……

When Ding returned to Shijia Village, it was already past lunchtime.

He was furious with the Xu family, and when he got home and saw that the dishes were unwashed and the food was uncooked, he exploded instantly.

"Ding Guihua, where have you been all morning! What have you been doing at home all morning?"

Hearing her mother-in-law's angry roar, Ding Guihua quickly got out of bed and ran out.

"Mother, you're back. Where's that little good-for-nothing?"

Seeing that only her mother-in-law and second brother were there, Ding Guihua craned her neck to look behind her.

Upon hearing about the small loss, Ding recalled her experience at the Xu family and angrily poked Ding Guihua's forehead repeatedly.

"This afternoon, I'll have the head of the household and the eldest brother go to the village head's house to get Shi Xiaocao's household registration done before we go pick her up."

"Go and cook for us right now. You're slacking off while I'm not home. If you dare to do this again, you'll regret it."

Ding Guihua smiled and repeatedly agreed, "I won't dare to do it again, Mother. I just thought you would bring that money-losing girl back. I'll go right away."

Ding rolled her eyes and went inside.

……

After a hearty lunch, Wen immediately took the copper coins and went out to collect eggs.

She started by asking her neighbors, "Aunt Chen, are you home?"

Aunt Chen pushed open the courtyard gate and saw Wen carrying a bamboo basket.

Upon seeing her come out, Madam Wen said with a smile, "Second Aunt, do you have any eggs for sale?"

My daughter is currently in her postpartum period, and since we don't raise chickens, I was thinking of buying some eggs for her to help her recover.

Aunt Chen said suspiciously, "Where did you get the money to buy it? Let me make this clear, I don't buy on credit."

Ms. Wen's smile remained unchanged as she explained, "Today I went up the mountain to dig for wild vegetables and found a ginseng root."

Although it's a relatively new business, it sold for a few taels of silver; otherwise, I wouldn't have dared to ask you.

Aunt Chen said with some doubt, "My family just managed to gather 20 eggs, and we were planning to take them to town to sell."

"Let me make this clear first, it's the same price as in town. If you want it, I'll get it for you."

"Yes, yes, second aunt, I'll give you the money first, then you'll trust me."

Wen took out 40 coins from her bosom and handed them to Aunt Chen.

Aunt Chen took it, counted it, and after confirming that there were enough, she stepped aside.

He said happily, "Oh, Sister-in-law Wen, come sit in the yard, I'll get it for you right away."

Ms. Wen handed over the bamboo basket and said, "I won't go in. Second Aunt, could you please put the eggs in the basket? I still need to go buy some more."

Aunt Chen said in surprise, "Twenty eggs aren't enough? Your daughter is so lucky. When I was in confinement after giving birth, I only ate ten eggs."

Ms. Wen smiled but didn't reply. Seeing this, Aunt Chen stopped talking, took the bamboo basket, went into the house, filled it with eggs, and handed it to Ms. Wen.

Wen went to Aunt Zhao's house again and accepted 20 eggs for the same reason.

Before leaving, she said to Aunt Zhao, "I need more eggs tomorrow, so please save some for me if you have any."

Carrying 40 eggs, Ms. Wen went home first. Eggs are fragile, and she was heartbroken if any got damaged on the way.

In addition, they were out of money, so they had to sell first to have money to continue buying.

Xu Qing was bored in the house, so she sat in the yard watching Xu Gong chop wood. When she saw Wen Shi return, she went into the house without making a sound.

After entering the house, Ms. Wen carefully placed the basket on the ground: "Daughter, I bought 40 first. Can your father finish them all?"

This was the first time Ms. Wen had done this business, and she was quite nervous, since the wild vegetables were free.

Even if they don't sell, we can eat them ourselves; these eggs were bought with real money.

Xu Qing gave Wen a reassuring look and silently prayed.

【Yes! 】

The eggs in the basket disappeared, and Xu Qing found himself with 200 coins.

“Mom, we can sell them no matter how many we have. Look, we sold them for 200 coins. After deducting the cost of 80 coins, we made 120 coins. Isn’t that much easier than you digging for wild vegetables?”

Even though she was mentally prepared, Ms. Wen couldn't control her excitement. Her daughter was right!

This is much easier than digging for wild vegetables!

But then she was stumped again: "Daughter, you can only eat a maximum of six eggs a day during your postpartum period. If you eat more than that, people will definitely get suspicious."

"What reason do we have to collect the eggs?"

Xu Qing: "Mother, this business is definitely not a long-term solution. We need to make sure that the money we earn is earned honestly and openly so that we can use it legitimately."

Having already placed Xu Qing under her wing, Wen asked, "Then what should we do?"

Seeing that she can't make money makes her feel incredibly distressed, like she's being scratched by a cat!

Xu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Mom, after I finish my postpartum confinement, let's set up a stall in town and do business. Who knows how much we'll earn?"

Wen thought this idea was feasible: "I'll listen to you, so shall we still collect the eggs?"

Xu Qing: "Yes, we'll buy 180 eggs, based on my daily intake of 6 eggs, and also buy a few big fat chickens."

Upon hearing this, Ms. Wen immediately became motivated, picked up her basket, and prepared to go out to collect eggs.

"Xu Gong, is your mother home?"

"I just got back. Aunt Zhao came in and sat down. I'm going to call my mother."

Hearing the noise outside, Wen went outside and bumped into Xu Gong, who had come in to call her.

"Mother, Aunt Zhao is looking for you."

"I heard you. Stop chopping wood and go up the mountain to dig up some wild vegetables, especially dandelions, understand?"

Xu Gong didn't want to dig dandelions; they tasted bitter and weren't tasty at all. But since his mother had spoken, he obediently carried his basket on his back and went to dig them.

Thinking that Xu Baobao had nothing to do at home, I thought I would take her to the mountains to play, and maybe she could pick some wild fruits to satisfy her cravings.

Let my older brother stay home and take care of the child by himself.

"Baby, do you want to go dig for wild vegetables with your second uncle? We can also check if the traps we set a while ago caught any prey."

Xu Baobao excitedly went along with them.

"Sister Wen, didn't you say you wanted to buy eggs? My eldest daughter-in-law has 30. Can you handle them all?"

Upon seeing Ms. Wen come out, Aunt Zhao took the initiative to explain her purpose.
