Wenxiu thought that it was already a big deal for the villagers to buy a dozen or so straws with such wealth. It was already a display of their boundless love for their children. When Good Chen led her daughter and grandson in to buy twenty straws in one go, she was completely shocked.
Twenty strings?
Do you have to be so generous?
He was the wealthiest person in the village. His family had a lot of money that could be ranked in all eight villages. 60 gold coins was nothing to the Chen family, but to Wenxiu, he was a big customer!
When Song Xiaoyue saw that the sage Chen had led her daughter and grandson away for a while, Wenxiu was still in a daze. She pulled on her sleeve and said, "Xiu Niang, you're in a daze. The person who bought the candied fruits is here again."
Wenxiu had picked a basket full of red fruits last night, but her family only had a tiny bit of white sugar. Even after busying herself for most of the day, there were still no more than sixty or seventy of them. After a short while, she still intended to test the water and sell half of the candied fruits directly, but she didn't know what to say anymore. If he sold out the candied fruits today, then what would he sell in town tomorrow?
Wenxiu had thought that she was delusional, but what she had not expected was that before nightfall, the thirty strings of candied fruits on the straw target had all been sold out.
In just over two hours, she had earned almost two hundred gold coins in return. Her heart was truly in turmoil!
Tomorrow, she must go to the town to buy more sugar and then make more candied fruits. Afterwards, she and Song Xiaoyue went to sell in the town and other villages separately, in order to earn a lot of money in a short period of time.
The imagination was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. In the basket, there were at most eighty or ninety strings of red fruits. If she wanted to make more candied fruits tomorrow, could it be that she would be going to the hawthorn forest to pick some fruits tonight?
No, she wouldn't go even if he beat her to death!
That white shadow from last night was still fresh in her mind. She didn't have the courage to go to the forest at night.
She was afraid of ghosts!
Wenxiu planned to head to town early in the morning. After buying the white sugar, she would go to the forest to pick the fruits. In the daytime, even if the forest was haunted, the ghost still wouldn't dare to come out, right? However, before she could even finish her breakfast, she was stopped by Lady Yang and a slovenly woman in her fifties or sixties.
This old woman Yang's skin is itchy again?
"What are you doing here so early in the morning?" Wenxiu was truly disgusted with Mrs. Yang from the bottom of her heart, so her tone naturally could not be considered as good. With an impatient face, she urged, "I didn't cook the potato powder today, let's come back another day!"
When Mistress Yang heard this, she got angry, but she couldn't do it. She pretended not to hear Wenxiu's words and shamelessly smiled. "Wenxiu, this is Matriarch Xi. Let's talk inside!"
Come in and talk? Who gave you that much face!
As Mrs Yang said this, she walked into Wen Xiu's courtyard. Unexpectedly, she was stopped by Wen Xiu. "Sorry, I have nothing to say to you, and I don't know this aunt. You guys are fine, hurry up and leave, I still need to rush out." Whoever blocked her from making a fortune, don't blame her for being impolite!
Hearing this, the smile on Mistress Yang's face froze and cracked into pieces. She glanced at the silent Matriarch Xi and stubbornly said, "Wenxiu, let's talk in the house. It's not convenient for people to pass by."
Did Mrs. Yang not understand human speech, or did she deliberately come here to cause trouble?
"Hurry up, my family doesn't welcome you!"
Wen Xiu could not bear it any longer. Her face fell and her tone changed abruptly. She was extremely unhappy.
"You …"
Yang Shi's face was peeled clean by Wen Xiu. She was furious. Little bitch, once you enter my Liu family, I'll see how I'll deal with you. You ignorant fool, hmph, I will make you feel proud of yourself. She cursed Wen Xiu in her heart while muttering to herself, "Why hasn't that old bitch of the Gou family arrived yet?"
Matriarch Xi secretly sized Wenxiu up from inside out. Seeing that Lady Yang was so speechless from her words, she cleared her throat and said with a smile: "Li family's daughter-in-law is a beautiful person, no wonder so many people want to marry her. Looking at her pretty appearance, her lips are red and her teeth are white. She is also capable.
When Wenxiu heard someone praise her, she immediately followed up with a bunch of incomprehensible words. Then, she shifted her gaze towards Mrs. Xi. She had never seen this old woman before!
"Aiyo, I'm sorry, I'm sorry for being late!"
Before Wenxiu could recall who it was, a familiar and annoying voice entered her ears. Looking up, who else could it be other than that disgusting Old Madam Li?
What was the meaning of today? These hateful women had come to her house so early in the morning. Could it be that she hadn't seen the calendar when she went out?
When the Yang family heard Old Lady Li's voice, they felt 'pah' in their hearts. However, a smile changed on their faces. They turned around and said, "Not too late, not too late. Old Lady Xi and I have just arrived!"
Lady Yang and Old Lady Li faked a few pleasantries. Old Lady Li looked at Wen Xiu with an unfriendly gaze and reproached, "Such a large person, do you understand the way of treating guests? If it wasn't for the Li family, they would have long since been swept out the door. Hurry up and get out of the way. Bring your Sixth Aunt and Mrs. Xi in! "
Old Lady Li had put on airs, but when her words left her mouth, she was slightly regretful. I heard that Wenxiu this little slut has a new way of making money. A single worthless red fruit was sold for a string of three gold coins. How much would a forest full of red fruits be worth? She was just too anxious and scolded too quickly. This slut wouldn't bring a way to earn money to the Liu family, right?
Oh, what a loss!
Wenxiu did not know what Old Lady Li was trying to say, but the expression on her old face was marvelous. She looked like she wanted to laugh. However, he didn't have the slightest intention of letting them off. "What do you guys want? If you have nothing to do, then hurry up and leave. Don't disturb my child's sleep!"
"Heh, you shameless thing. What the hell are you? You dare to talk to me like that?" Old Li was too anxious and directly blew up. It didn't matter if she would give it or not, he just directly snatched it. "What a shameless thing. If it wasn't for you, would I have gotten up so early in the cold?" "You really don't know what's good for you. Wait until you pass through the door, I'll see if your man doesn't kill you!"
Old Lady Li scolded a bunch of times. Wenxiu finally understood that these shameless old fogeys had come to matchmaking for her!
Ouch, it's a good day. It's not noisy, it's bad luck that you made it." When Matriarch He saw Old Lady Li fly into a rage, she hurriedly tried to persuade her. It was unknown that she had caught a chill. After she had said two words, her nose actually started leaking. She wiped her messy sleeves and continued, "Ladies and gentlemen, it's not a good thing to talk about happy events outside. The old woman has not yet spoken to anyone from the front door. "Let's go in, let's go in, shall we?
When the Yang family and Old Lady Li heard this, they naturally did not object!
However, Wenxiu opened her arms and stopped the three of them. "If you want to be a matchmaker, go somewhere else. Don't come to my house and pester me. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite!"
