While the two were talking, they went to Goudan's vegetable patch. Goudan insisted on letting her pick it, so Su Yan was not polite to her.
Pull two radishes and another green vegetable.
Goudanfu pulled the basket of vegetables, rubbed his hands, and then looked at Su Yan's gloves, "Did that guy at your house cook it for you?"
Su Yan lowered her head and took a look. The stitching of the sheepskin gloves was crooked and didn't look like they were made by a woman. She nodded and said, "It's too thick and can't be pierced."
"I still have some sheepskins at home. Sister, would you like to give them to you?"
Goudan's mother waved her hand quickly, "No, keep it for yourself. I'm embarrassed to collect your things every day."
"You can also prepare some food. It's already here, so you don't have to make a trip."
"That's enough, I can't even finish it if I eat more."
"Why can't you finish eating? Eat more, especially you. Eat as much as you can now."
Seeing her stuffing it into the basket, Su Yan couldn't laugh or cry, "Sister, that's enough. I still have so many vegetables at home."
"Keep what you have and sell it to the shop. No one will take it if I don't have it." Goudan's mother gave her another handful of vegetables.
When it comes to the acres of vegetables at home, Su Yan is also worried. She can make money by selling them to shops, but excluding the wages from helping farm workers, there is basically no profit.
Although green vegetables are more expensive in winter than in hot weather, vegetables that have been hit by frost will spoil quickly.
She thought of something and said: "Sister, are your parents free these days?"
As soon as he heard this, Goudanfuming guessed that he had to work, and nodded quickly, "I have time, and I'm staying at home to warm up in the winter."
"Okay, let Brother Jiang call out later. I want to make pickles from the few acres of vegetables at home and sell them in the county town." Su Yan explained.
Pickles are no longer rare in the town, and even if they taste good, they won't sell much.
Goudan couldn't help but glance at her and praised: "Why are you so smart?"
Before she went to the county town, there was a pickle shop that sold very well, and there were people queuing up on hot days.
Su Yan smiled and said, "If you don't have money, you have to find ways to make money."
She used to do everything with her younger brothers and sisters. In order to support them, she ran to the county town carrying a few cents of Houttuynia cordata and sold it for five or six yuan.
I walked for a day or two. I was so scared at night that I would hold rocks in my hands while walking.
Now that I think about it, life is much better now. At least there are rough men to handle the big and rough work at home.
It's probably the blessing I accumulated in my previous life.
Goudan's mother didn't have a well at home, so she went to the river to wash vegetables, but Su Yan didn't. Because of her cold hands and feet, she spent a lot of money.
It's finally not that cold, so of course you need to be more careful.
"Sister, give it to me and I'll wash it for you." Goudan knew her well and naturally knew about her cold hands and feet, so he reached out to pick up her basket.
I don’t think she is squeamish at all. If she doesn’t care about her own body, who else would?
Su Yan quickly moved away, "There are still vegetables at home, but they will get spoiled if washed. Sister, you should wash your own."
Hearing this, Goudan's mother didn't say anything. She washed the vegetables quickly with her hands and feet. She shivered when she first got into the cold water. After washing too much, it didn't matter.
Just as he was about to get up, two women came to the river. They were prejudiced against Su Yan and rolled their eyes at her because they didn't know where they got the bullshit.
Su Yan was too lazy to pay attention to them. These people didn't spend their time making money to support their families, but just looking for a sense of presence here all day long.
Among them, the fat woman was squatting while washing clothes, pointing at the mulberry trees and scolding the mulberry trees, saying: "Some people are so shameless, seducing other people's men, please open your eyes."
Goudanfu immediately became unhappy, "Who are you scolding? You're shameless."
The fat woman immediately said fiercely: "I didn't scold you. What did you say? What kind of person are you?"
"If you look at money, you will lose the face of your ancestors for eight generations."
Su Yan was afraid that the mother-in-law might be pregnant, so she quickly signaled her not to be angry, then stared at the fat woman and said, "Is your yard built on rented land?"
"It just so happens that my family has a lot of money, so I will buy your land later."
Don't talk about things that can be solved with money these days.
Besides, you need to find a place to put those pickles in the ground.
Upon hearing this, the fat woman's face changed, "How dare you!"
"Why don't I dare? I can buy whatever I want."
Su Yan gave her a roll of her eyes and said: "My man can't control me and it's my fault. To put it bluntly, I really don't like your man's ugly things."
"I'm not blind. I don't want to seduce the old and ugly man from my family."
"I won't trouble you, but I won't be polite if you trouble me."
Goudan’s mother was so shocked that she couldn’t close her mouth. She had probably never seen her criticize others like this before. She didn’t curse a word, but it was more humiliating than scolding.
The fat woman's face turned red and she was a little panicked, but she said, "You buy it, I'm still worried that you can't buy it?"
Su Yan held the vegetable basket and said with a smile: "It's just a few taels of silver. I bought it and left it to feed the dog." After saying that, she took Goudan's mother and left.
Before she walked a few steps, she saw her tall, rough man limping towards this side. She quickly shouted: "Slow down, I'm fine."
After saying that, I ran over with the vegetable basket. When I saw him wearing single clothes, he came out. I wanted to say a few words to him, but seeing the worry on his face, I softened my heart and said, "Go home and get dressed."
Then he turned to the woman behind him and said, "Sister, I will take my family home to get dressed. You can take your time later."
"Okay, go quickly."
Looking at the backs of the couple in front of her, Goudan's mother couldn't help but envy her. When she returned home carrying the vegetables, she saw her man waving to her, "Daughter-in-law, I bought two kilograms of mutton. You can stew it yourself."
"You're wasting money again. I told you not to buy these. My son has to get married."
"It's not like I don't have this little money."
Goudanfu looked at the mutton on the table and couldn't help but smile, "You go to my house. The Qin family is looking for helpers to do some work. Sister-in-law and the others can also call over."
A man is not as good at making pickles as a woman.
Jiang Caifu nodded, "Okay, I'll get some meat."
…
Qin family
Su Yan waited for the man to put on his coat and said, "I want to buy the land where the Sun family builds their house."
"They make irresponsible remarks all day long, I won't let them go this time."
"I'll buy it and make pickles when the time comes."
"By the way, sir, I plan to use the vegetables in the fields to make pickles. Then I will ask you to carve patterns on the bamboo tubes. It will look better and more people will buy them."
Qin An had no objection and nodded: "Sure, but you can't do too much work."
"Know."
Su Yan touched her belly and said happily: "The family will be lively next year."
Hearing this, the rough man looked at her belly with a happy expression, "Yeah."
After resting at home for a while, the two of them took the money and headed to the village chief's house, deliberately passing by the door of Sun's house. The second daughter-in-law of Sun's family turned pale when she saw it.
I dare not let the Qin family really buy this land, otherwise the whole family will have nowhere to go this winter.
She quickly called to the man in the family, "Come out quickly. The Qin family wants to buy this land from me?"
Upon hearing this, the man frowned and shouted: "How do you know? Why did you buy my land? You can't farm it!"
The woman shrank her neck, of course she didn't dare to tell the truth, and trembled: "It's not like you don't know that Widow Li is not a good person!"
