When Zhang Guilan said she was leaving, the Liu family were so happy that they went to 3 mouths at once! How much will this save?
But soon they stopped laughing, and Mrs. Liu couldn't stand it at first, and no one did the housework.
She was alone in doing laundry, cooking, and cleaning up the house. Everyone else was men, young and old, and no one reached out to help her.
Mrs. Liu persisted for more than a week, and finally she couldn't hold it any more. She was an old man, and she was going to serve people like an old servant? What is her life!
Mrs. Liu was having a hard time, so she fell and beat her, and she didn't cook well, so no one else could have a good life.
"Go and call her back tomorrow." Mrs. Liu said to her son.
Before Liu Xiangqian could speak, Liu Cong quit first: "Milk, bean sprouts can earn 300 a month! Not 30! It's a pity to give up."
With that money, he can marry Sun Xiaofang!
Mrs. Liu saw his plan at a glance, and rolled her eyes in anger. Her eldest grandson was fascinated by the little goblin of the Sun family.
"Stop dreaming, I'm tired of seeing it!" Mrs. Liu beat him: "The supply and marketing cooperatives don't sell bean sprouts these days, don't you know? It's because the weather is bad, so good bean sprouts can't be produced!"
300 yuan a month would still fall into her pocket, how could she not care? She went to the door of the supply and marketing cooperative every day these days to see how many people bought how many kilograms of bean sprouts.
As a result, it is getting less and less every day, and it is not for sale these two days.
More than 100 catties of bean sprouts are not enough for the leaders to share, so how can there be any excess for sale.
Mrs. Liu was heartbroken, so she decided to call someone back. If she couldn't earn 300, she would come back and earn 25! Can also serve their whole family.
"What?" Liu Cong yelled, unable to accept the news: "How could this happen?"
The family really can't get 200 yuan plus three turns, and the next thing is that they can't marry Sun Xiaofang... If they can't get the money, what should Sun Jiazhen do if they sue him?
"Zhang Guilan is really a mourning star, she shouldn't have married her in the first place!" Mrs. Liu said with a blank look at her son: "The whole family has a good bean sprout business, 2000 catties a day, and when she returns, 200 catties are gone! It's all hers!"
As soon as she said that Liu Xiangqian was in a bad mood, she said angrily: "She is not good, then let her go! Marry another one."
Before Mrs. Liu said a word, Liu Cong quit: "Don't, Dad! You've already married two! I don't have one yet, so I can't give you all the money in my family to marry a wife! If you hadn't married Zhang Guilan, it would have cost With a lot of money, it will not be so difficult for me to marry a wife now."
"You're still relying on Lao Tzu?" Liu Xiangqian couldn't hold his face in his heart, he took off the soles of his shoes and headed towards Liu Cong.
Liu Congcai would not be beaten obediently. He shouted while running: "Tomorrow I will go to Kuoshantun to see Zhang Guilan and see how much she earns!"
He still didn't want to give up.
Besides, now is the season of cooked melons, he went to see Zhang Guilan, she couldn't let him come back empty-handed, right? When the time comes, I will have to order fresh food and send it to the Sun's house, look at Xiaofang, beg her, think of a way, and I'll get it. If I tell him, she will look good with a straight stomach?
......
The next morning, Zhang Guilan and Aunt Ma and Aunt Liu went to the black market alone with a basket.
A basket of fresh vegetables, a basket of dried mushrooms, a basket of large watermelons.
Vegetables cost 120 cents to 30 cents a bundle, dried mushrooms cost 1 yuan for a bunch, and watermelons cost 5 cents each.
It was gone in an instant.
In this era, there is a shortage of materials. If there are not all kinds of "tickets" restricted, everything can be robbed.
These fresh vegetables without tickets, especially those sold by Zhang Guilan, were robbed faster.
Zhang Guilan didn't even know that she now has a group of loyal and stable customers. Even if there is no shortage of vegetables at home, she has to come and wait for her every morning. No matter what she sells, she will buy it!
Several customers had a small dispute over watermelons. One wanted to wrap up the package, but the others refused.
The 100-pound watermelon was too heavy because of the bad road. Zhang Guilan rested a few times along the way. When the basket was put down and lifted, a watermelon was cracked, and the unusual fragrance filled the surrounding area, making people hooked. I just wanted to take out my pocket and wrap it up.
Liu Cong, who was about to catch the train, happened to pass by and was also attracted by the fragrance, but before he could get close, the watermelons were distributed one by one.
The crowd quickly dispersed, revealing Zhang Guilan inside.
Liu Cong was stunned for a moment, then turned around abruptly, walked away quickly, hid in the darkness, and quietly observed Zhang Guilan.
After Zhang Guilan sold the watermelons, she helped Aunt Ma and Aunt Liu sell things. I heard that the two baskets of things were also hers, and they were selling quickly.
After 10 minutes, the items were sold out, and the 3 people walked away with their baskets on their backs.
Liu Cong followed them all the time, following them on the train. It's not the same car, Liu Cong doesn't want to meet Zhang Guilan right now.
He followed the three of them all the way back to Kuoshantun, watched the other two women leave one after another, watched Zhang Guilan enter a yard, got busy, and there were many mushrooms in the yard.
And Zhang Guilan's attitude is very natural, just like in her own home.
He just walked over.
"Aunt Zhang, do you live here? It's good." He said, staring at the mushrooms on the ground.
There are so many mushrooms, it takes 100 catties to dry them, and a catty of dried mushrooms costs 1 yuan, which is the market price, so this is 100 yuan!
Did she take it? Very good!
When Zhang Guilan heard his voice, the broom in his hand was almost thrown out.
She looked back at the person outside the fence, it was really Liu Cong.
"You, why are you here?" Her heart suddenly became nervous.
When she married into the Liu family, Liu Cong was thirteen or fourteen years old. When he was arrogant, he beat her a lot, sometimes even more than Liu Xiangqian.
She didn't dare to fight back. When she fought back, everyone in the Liu family, including several uncles and aunts of Liu Cong who had been separated out, had to come and beat her.
Liu Cong beat her like this for five or six years, until Liu Cong was in his 20s, tall and strong, and he was laughed at by everyone when he beat his honest stepmother.
She was a little afraid of Liu Cong from the bottom of her heart.
Liu Cong knew this and was very proud.
"You picked these mushrooms?" Liu Cong asked.
"No, no!" Zhang Guilan immediately shook her head: "I've never picked a single one! I still have to work, how can I go up the mountain to pick mushrooms?" This is true.
"Who picked that? Whose house is this? Why do you live here?" Liu Cong asked with a frown in disbelief.
"This is my newly built house. Because there is vacant land, the neighbors will come over to borrow a place to dry mushrooms." Zhang Guilan bit the bullet and lied.
If it was before, she would never have dared to lie to Liu Cong, but now, she must lie, otherwise the fruits of her three daughters' hard work for so many days will be taken away by him alone!
