Boss Mu has no relatives in his family who were robbed. The reason why he stays here is just for morality.
Because he opened a store in Ruijin Town, but it was all ransacked that time, and the two clerks who were guarding the store were taken away. He followed him like a demon and guarded here, saying that he would be sorry for his parents in this life and that he would wait for them to come back.
Song Liyun sighed.
In fact, everyone knows that it is difficult for people who plunder the grassland to come back.
In the vast prairie, the tribes are moving, and even people can't be found. It's even more difficult to escape.
There are still family members who are concerned about this.
There are more people like Han Ming who came here alone with unknown identities. I'm afraid they didn't even leave a name, and their family members far away didn't know anything.
While the two were talking, the courtyard door was knocked open again.
Aunt Ma came out to greet her and quickly entered the room talking: "Third daughter-in-law, this is your third time. Did I say you don't want your hand anymore?"
Following the words, Aunt Ma led the people in. Song Liyun looked up and saw a thin woman holding a big cloth bag.
The thin pale pink jacket on her body has been washed and turned white. She wears single shoes with patches on her feet. The cloth on her head is loosened, revealing her hair, which although withered and yellow, is still neatly tied up.
When the woman saw Song Liyun, she was slightly startled. She bent her knees slightly as usual and tried to squeeze out a smile: "Hello, Miss Song!"
Song Liyun also smiled: "Third aunt!"
When she heard Song Liyun's name, the woman's face darkened. She just lowered her head and handed the cloth bag she was holding to Aunt Ma: "Sister-in-law Ma, these are five pieces of clothing. I have already mended the places that need to be mended."
Aunt Ma didn't open it like other women handed over clothes, she just put the cloth bag aside.
After groping for a while from the table and cabinet, he took out a small closed shell that was only bigger than his thumb and stuffed it into the woman's hand: "These are the clam shells I burned before. I also used good roe deer oil, and there is still a little left."
When you take it back, soak your hands in hot water first, then apply oil on them, alas! If they are frozen again, they will be ruined."
The woman retracted her red, swollen and ulcerated hands into her sleeves, but still refused.
Aunt Ma said angrily: "You still have to wait for the little stone to come back every day. You can survive several winters like this. Take it! There is really only a little left."
As she said that, Aunt Ma opened the clam shell, and sure enough there was only a thin layer of shell oil left inside.
The woman accepted it, picked up a few more clothes, and left.
Aunt Ma stopped talking about sex for a while and just cut cloth. Song Liyun took back the box of chilblain grease that had slipped from her palm.
The "third-level aunt" just now almost didn't accept the ointment on the clam shells. She definitely didn't want the box she bought from Qili County.
"Aunt Ma, that aunt just now was..." Song Liyun was about to go back, but stood up and asked one more question.
When he rescued the woman from the snow not long ago, Han Ming only said that she was Jin Sanchong's wife, and he hesitated about the rest, saying that he didn't know.
Aunt Ma should know better.
Aunt Ma stroked the strands on her arm and sighed: "We are all poor people. Jin Sanzhong saved her, but he didn't take care of her well.
Over the years, the family has relied on this woman for work.
Nowadays, I can’t bear to use hot water to wash my clothes in the winter, and my hands are all frozen.”
No firewood?
Song Liyun thought of the small bundle of thin firewood lying next to the woman lying in the snow that day, and her eyes gradually narrowed: If she had killed Jin Sanzhong, would this woman have been better off?
Just seeing that the woman is unwilling to accept help from others, she must have a strong temper and have her own ideas in life.
Xue Zhuang, who went out to sell vegetables, came back in the evening. As soon as he returned to town, he went directly to Baolin Residence and knocked on the courtyard door.
Han Ming opened the door a crack, looked out and saw him coming, and asked: "Xue Junhu, what's the matter?" He asked, but did not open the door.
He had already received instructions from the Song brothers and sisters that Baolin residents were not allowed to enter, and Zhou Xiaoqi and the others would only stay in the front yard at most.
The backyard is a key protected area. Except for a few of his own family members, even Han Ming himself rarely goes there.
Now that Xue Zhuang came to Baolin Residence, he couldn't even enter the outermost door.
Seeing that he refused to give way, Xue Zhuang glared and scolded: "Who taught you the rules? You don't even know to invite guests in when they come!"
Han Ming smiled naively: "The two big bosses are not here, and the young boss is playing in the yard. Xue Junhu insists on coming in. Does he want the young boss to drink tea with you?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?"
Xue Zhuang heard what he said about the big boss and the small boss, and there were a lot of small bosses playing around in the mud.
He couldn't hold back his impatience and couldn't help but said angrily: "You mean Song Zhenping and Song Liyun are not here?"
Han Ming nodded: "Yes, not even here."
"Where are they?" Xue Zhuang has no plans to enter the hospital, as long as he finds the Song brothers and sisters.
"I don't know!" Han Ming added: "I am a servant and cannot inquire about my employer's whereabouts!"
"Hmph! Then tell them to get some more vegetables tomorrow morning, at least a hundred kilograms, and send them to the guardhouse as early as possible. Why should you sleep in at a young age?" Xue Zhuang stepped back down the steps.
Han Ming nodded, said hello, and immediately closed the door. His movements were so fast, as if if he were slower, someone would get in.
Xue Zhuang watched the crooked wooden door slam shut in front of him. He was so angry that he almost kicked it. He endured it again and again, but turned around and returned to town.
There is no room for him to run wild here.
Although he was rejected at Baolinju, it did not affect his good mood. On the way back to town, Xue Zhuang was extremely excited.
Today he delivered two baskets of vegetables to Qili County. He did not go to Tianxiang Tower immediately, but placed them on the street first.
The others who went with him dispersed and went to several other famous restaurants in Qili County to explore the city.
You wouldn’t know if you didn’t ask, but you’d be shocked if you asked. Food prices have risen again in the past few days.
The price of white flour has increased to fifteen cents per pound, and people are queuing up to buy food on every street.
Many people looked at the fresh dishes he put out, and they all praised the food. No one dared to ask about the price.
People who went to the restaurants to ask the price also got the answer. The first restaurant offered thirty cash, and the second restaurant offered fifty cash.
In the end, Tianxianglou got it for eighty cents.
Others asked if they were from Broken Gold Town and asked for exclusive sales.
Xue Zhuang was very satisfied with the price. Wei Suo and him would share the profit 73 points, and Wei Suo 7 points and he would get 3 points.
On this trip, fifty kilograms of vegetables were sold for four taels of silver. After dividing it with the guard, he still had one or two taels of silver.
After excluding the transportation and transportation to the city, and the one or two hundred cash given to the person running errands with him, there were still 800 cash that ended up in his pocket.
Opening a restaurant and restaurant in Suijin Town, busy and noisy for a day, only cost more than 100 coins, but now it only costs 800 coins a day.
If the Song family were allowed to produce more vegetables and sell a hundred kilograms of vegetables a day, they would have two taels of silver... Just thinking about it, Xue Zhuang felt like his heart was about to burst out of his chest.
When I got home, my daughter-in-law Xu Yaner was eager to wait.
