Mother Jia couldn't accept the consequences for a moment, and she couldn't come back to her senses for a long time. When she regained consciousness, she found that she had already pinched the palms of both hands and blood was bleeding.
It was just dawn, they were not selling breakfast, and there were only mother and son in the whole shop. Jia Mu chased into the kitchen: "Da Lin, I am a woman who raised you three siblings, and your sister is still trapped in
Rich families are not allowed freedom. Among the three siblings, I only owe her! But I don’t owe you or Dahai! Especially you. At first, you wanted to marry Sanniang, but their family was very open-minded and insisted on a big sum.
The betrothal gift, If it weren’t for me... If it wasn’t for you, Uncle Wu, do you think you would be able to live the good life you have now?"
"You think it's shameful for me, a woman, to associate with a married man?" Mother Jia simply went all out and exposed the unbearable things: "But if I wanted to be shameless, the four of us, mother and son, would have starved to death.
Yes. I didn’t change the price in the first place because I didn’t want the three of you siblings to become dragsters..."
Jia Dalin was putting the meat on the chopping board and said without looking back: "Compared with the unpleasant words outside, I hope I can be a dragster."
Jia Mu: "..."
She opened her mouth, but unknowingly her face was filled with tears: "Now you would rather be a dragster. But at the beginning, I had no choice at all! Why don't you let Qiao Xin remarry? It's because I survived
In this half of my life, I have seen too many people, but all the widows who remarried with their children, if they remarried and gave birth to a boy and a half girl, they would live a good life. But the children they brought with them... would really not live well..."
Jia Dalin cut the bone into two pieces with a sharp knife, threw it into the pot and simmered: "No matter how bad it is, no one will point their noses and call his mother a prostitute!"
Mother Jia's face changed drastically, and she took a step back and fell to the ground. No matter what outsiders said, she had indeed done those things, but when these words came from her son's mouth, she really couldn't accept them.
The room was quiet except for the banging sound of Jia Dalin chopping bones. The sound was so deep that it seemed to hit Jia Mu's heart every time.
The mother and son were obviously fine when they went out in the morning, so why did they end up like this?
After Jia Dalin finished chopping the bones, he ran to grab firewood and threw it in front of Jia Mu: "Mom, help me light a fire, okay?"
"What can't be done?" Mother Jia's face looked desolate: "It's okay if all my bones and flesh and blood are melted and given to you. "
As she said this, she blew on the fire.
Jia Dalin glanced at his mother in front of the stove: "Mom, it's just Sanniang who wanted to take you back because she wanted to be lazy. If Uncle Wu comes to ask for you, don't be too high-minded and accept it as soon as you see fit. At first, Uncle Wu only interacted with you secretly.
I have never treated you badly. Now that you have become his wife, he will not miss you."
Jia Mu smiled bitterly: "He and I were not husband and wife at first, so it was only natural for me to ask him to get something. But now..."
Now that we are a couple, there are some things that are hard to talk about.
For example, she felt sorry for his hard work. In the past, Jia Mu only had to say a few words of worry. But now she can't do that. She has to fetch water for his feet, wash all his clothes, and pinch his legs and shoulders. She herself
She is tired from working from morning to night, who can understand her?
Really, before today, Mother Jia was very motivated as long as she thought that she could get a big share of the money saved by the Wu family. But after hearing what her son said just now, she really didn't want to do it anymore.
The pot was sizzling, and it was getting daylight. The three siblings came over. Jia Mu felt sorry for her children and gave them each a bowl of bone soup. Hua'er saw that something was wrong with her expression, and asked tentatively: "Mistress, are you crying?"
?”
Jia Mu shook her head: "I'm caught in the wind and can't help crying."
Hua'er took the handkerchief from her hand to wipe the table and urged: "Then you go to the stove and bake it, and I'll clean the table."
The granddaughter is so well-behaved, and the two grandsons next to her also have worried faces. Mother Jia can only feel relieved.
So, you still have to do it!
The Wu family still has to go back!
Nowadays, there is no one idle in the Wu family. After Wu Pengsheng bought groceries, he chartered a carriage to pick up people. His attitude was very low, and he only said that yesterday was an accident and that he was too tired to pay attention.
Jia Mu didn't make things difficult for him. After crying, she followed him into the carriage.
When passing by Zhao Qiaoxin's wine shop, she stopped the carriage.
Wu Pengsheng opened his mouth and wanted to urge him a few words, but thought that the couple had just reconciled and had to take him back to work, so he stopped talking.
"Qiao Xin, give me some of this wine of yours, and I'll let the customers at your Uncle Wu's stall try it later. If they like it, they'll use yours from now on."
Chu Yunli was a little surprised when she heard this. Naturally, she could see that Jia Mu wanted to take care of her business. But there was really no need.
"There aren't many." She pointed. "Everything here, including the wine brewed in the warehouse, has been sold. Even the wine to be released next month has already been ordered 80% of the time."
Mother Jia looked surprised: "Is it so easy to sell?"
Naturally, the wine in the city is not so easy to sell, but the wine made by Chu Yunli is different from other wines. It has a mellow taste and is not intoxicating. Of course, there are also spirits, no matter which kind, they are better than the current wine.
"It's easy to sell. Those restaurants are worried that they won't be able to win the deal, so they don't even bargain with me." Chu Yunli waved her hand: "You don't have to worry about me, just live your own life."
When Jia Mu got on the carriage, she was in a daze. Wu Pengsheng saw this and asked, "Is that your little daughter-in-law?"
Jia Mu nodded.
Wu Pengsheng opened the curtain and took a look at the wine shop: "Your wife is really capable. She gave birth to children right after she got out, and even opened a shop so quickly. Where did she get the capital?"
"I don't know." Jia Mu shook her head.
Wu Pengsheng asked tentatively: "Has she met another man? I think she looks pretty good..."
Jia Mu came back to her senses and felt unhappy: "Don't talk nonsense. She is not that kind of person!"
Wu Pengsheng did not argue with her and just said: "A woman can start a business in the blink of an eye. She is amazing."
This tone is very strange. Although it does not emphasize that Zhao Qiaoxin relies on men to do business, the meaning is already obvious. To be honest, if Jia Mu had not known that her daughter-in-law was pregnant when she left home, she would have spent so much money before she gave birth to a child.
Since she started doing business after having a child, she probably suspected that Zhao Qiaoxin was attracted by a man.
A woman's appearance is the ugliest when she is about to give birth and her body is not in good shape. It is even more impossible for a woman to be content with a man at this time... How can a man give a large sum of money if he does not let the man enjoy the benefits?
As for the source of Zhao Qiaoxin's money, Jia Mu still couldn't figure it out. However, as long as it didn't depend on a man, it would be a good thing.
"It's quite amazing." Jia Mu said sincerely, "I'm not as good as her!"
Wu Pengsheng reached out and held her hand: "In my eyes, you are the best, and no one can compare with you."
Before, even if Jia Mu knew that these words were false, she would still think that there was some truth in them, but now... Haha!
After Jia Mu went back this time, she seemed less busy than before. She would find time to come back every three days, and she would bring something with her, including Chu Yunli.
Chu Yunli had no shortage of her things, but Jia Mu was always invisible and would only leave her things at the door of the shop. When she saw them, she didn't know how long they had been there, and she had no chance to refuse.
As time went by, the reputation of the new wine in the city became more and more popular, and people from the town even came to buy it specially.
The quantity they asked for was not large, but it allowed Chu Yunli's wine to spread further.
Everyone outside the area knew about it, and Jia Dalin naturally heard about it in the shop.
Before, he only knew that Zhao Qiaoxin's business was doing very well, and restaurants in the city lined up to give her money. On this day, even his guests asked: "Master, do you have any of Zhao's wine here?"
Jia Dalin shook his head: "I only have Shao Knife here, and her wine... isn't very easy to buy."
"I heard that you are related to the Zhao family and I thought you had wine here. That's why I came here." The visitor looked disappointed: "You can try to buy some. Those big restaurants buy wine and sell it very expensively.
.I just like this one, and I’ve spent a lot of it this month.”
Jia Dalin apologized and gave him one or two more wines. After sending the guest away, he felt like a cat scratching his head. According to the guest, the wine was sold at a high price in the restaurant. You know, the wine in his shop was
It is purely for the convenience of customers and does not make any money at all.
Seeing that everything was done, he deliberately got off work early and passed by Zhao Qiaoxin's shop.
Zhao Qiaoxin was the only one left in the shop, who was playing with the child at the moment. Jia Dalin paused for a moment, then walked in with a normal expression.
Chu Yunli raised her eyes and saw it was him, and was surprised: "Is something wrong?"
Jia Dalin looked at her shop: "I heard you bought this?"
"You have something to say." Chu Yunli picked up the child: "It's getting dark, I'm going home."
Jia Dalin heard the impatience in her words and felt unhappy, but he did not forget about the business: "Do you sell the wine here in bulk?"
"Bulk sale." Chu Yunli's brewery was moved to the outskirts, and this month he bought the entire place. There are about twenty people working there non-stop every day. Although the wine produced is still not enough to sell,
She didn't give away everything to the restaurant. She came here with her children every day to guard and sell some individual customers, and didn't want the restaurant to charge too high a price.
Jia Dalin was overjoyed: "Give me ten pounds."
Chu Yunli hummed: "I won't sell you."
Jia Dalin was stunned: "You don't do business even if you have business?" Are you a fool?
"I don't have to worry about selling my wine. I'm a boss. That's the good thing about it. If I don't want to do anyone's business, I just refuse it." Chu Yunli smiled half-heartedly: "I hate you very much. You have been my life for more than ten years.
One of the most disgusting people. So, I won’t do your business.”
Jia Dalin looked ugly: "Zhao Qiaoxin, we were once a family, do you have to target me like this?"
"Targeted?" Chu Yunli sneered: "Based on what you did to me, I would be generous if I didn't retaliate against you. What's wrong with targeting you? What can you do to me?"
Jia Dalin stared at her.
Chu Yunli stood up: "Get out, I'm closing the door."
Jia Dalin is now a boss and smiles at his guests. But when he walks in the alley and in front of his neighbors, he thinks he has some dignity. Being kicked out like this has never happened to him before when he was a laborer, and he immediately became angry.
Rush away.
"With your attitude towards your customers, I want to see how well your business can do."
Chu Yunli was behind him and said leisurely: "You are not a guest, you are my enemy."
Jia Dalin was so angry that he wanted to turn around and beat her up, but he only considered her a decent person and didn't want to be laughed at.
It happened more than once that customers asked for wine. Even Chen Sanniang knew about it. She even went to inquire about it and learned that several big restaurants in the inner city specially took Zhao Qiaoxin's good wine and sold it to those customers at double the purchase price.
. Even so, there is no need to worry about selling the wine, and it is often out of stock.
These days, she was busy working in the shop, and she was very tired every day. Jia Dalin was even more tired, and her children were also busy, but the profit was not as expected. Since she married out of town and saw the world, she has never been more interested.
She can't calm down and work hard...because she knows that smart people can multiply their money several times without having to work by themselves.
After learning about the profitability of good wine, she immediately had many ideas. So, she came to visit him again.
He was too embarrassed to mention to anyone that Jia Dalin came to buy wine but was scolded and walked away. Chen Sanniang didn't know that the two had a quarrel because of this matter.
"Qiao Xin, let me see the child."
Chu Yunli saw what she was holding and said, "Take it back!"
Her tone and attitude were very cold. If Chen Sanniang hadn't asked for help, she would have turned around and left because of her attitude.
"I am the child's aunt, and these are my thoughts."
Chu Yunli seemed to be smiling but not smiling: "If you have something to say, just tell me! Don't make such lies. If you say you really love your child, I won't believe it."
Chen Sanniang was a little embarrassed. She had already come, but she didn't intend to leave just like that. She immediately sat down where Chu Yunli was waiting for guests and said, "I do have something to discuss with you. You..." She glanced across the shop.
Inside, smelling the aroma of wine in her nose, this taste is indeed very different from other wines. No wonder the nobles in the city are flocking to it. She continued with a smile: "I don't think you can sell much even if you stay here every day. How about you?"
Why don't you invite someone? I'm quite free recently, how about I help you?"
She patted her chest: "I have seen the world, and I am the one who calculates the accounts in the shop. I will never help you make mistakes."
"No need." Chu Yunli really plans to hire someone to help her with cooking and cleaning. The aunt's daughter-in-law is a good person. She recently sent her to the suburbs to make wine. If you want to sell wine, you must first understand the grades of various wines.
Once you learn it for a while, you can get started later.
"Don't refuse first, think about it before you say it." Chen Sanniang smiled and said: "Speaking of which, you have such a good recipe, why don't you come up with it? If you had known earlier, I wouldn't have opened that shop, and the two of us would work together to sell it.
If the business is good for a long time, you can make a lot of money."
"You're so shameless!" Chu Yunli said rudely: "The prescription belongs to me, how shameless do you have to be to say such a thing? To put it harshly, you shouldn't even think about it!"
The words were so unpleasant that Chen Sanniang could no longer keep the smile on her face: "Qiaoxin, I really want to help you. It's not like I'm taking your things for nothing, I have to pay for it."
"Whether I make money or lose money, I don't want to have anything to do with your family anymore." Chu Yunli said every word: "Especially Jia Dalin, I feel sick when I see him."
Chen Sanniang looked extremely ugly and suddenly stood up and left.
Chu Yunli looked at her back with disapproval. This couple had high ambitions but low ambitions. They wanted to make money but refused to lower their status. They opened a small shop and thought they were very capable.
After that time, the couple did not bother Chu Yunli again for a long time. She had to take care of her children in the past two years, and Chu Yunli had no intention of expanding the business. After getting the profits, she only expanded the winery, and she used the remaining money.
She came to buy a shop. She bought all the shops next to the wine shop. She even bought a house and moved in with her children.
The house got bigger and she had to hire someone to clean it. She asked her aunt to help, and she found a down-to-earth person in the alley.
The house she bought earlier was not far from Jia's family. Since everyone lived together, it was difficult for Jia Dalin not to know what she was doing.
Chen Sanniang felt quite unhappy. The couple had worked hard for several months, but before they even got their money back, Zhao Qiaoxin had already earned a shop and a large house.
In the past, they thought that because Zhao Qiaoxin was living as a widow with a child, and having close contact with such people, they must be at a disadvantage. But things are different now. Zhao Qiaoxin's life is getting better and better, and both the couple feel that it is necessary to ease their relationship with her.
Not to mention returning to the closeness of a family, as long as we can interact with each other like relatives... If nothing else, just take some wine from her and resell it, there will be a steady stream of money every month. It will definitely be more than what they earn from a hard day's work.
many.
The two met to discuss and found out that the other party had been kicked out before. They were upset and could only think of other ways. So Jia Mu was invited back.
The weather got warmer, Jia Mu and Wu Pengsheng's relationship got better, and Li Qiuman began to toss people again.
In the past few days, Li Qiuman had to sleep on the bed several times, and the quilt was not enough. Jia Mu also wanted to come back and take a breather.
Shortly after entering the house and sitting down, she heard her son and daughter-in-law talk about their plans. In fact, Jia Mu was quite surprised that her daughter-in-law's wine business had become so big and spread throughout the inner and outer cities.
In her opinion, sometimes people have to accept their fate. Some people are born with wealth, such as Zhao Qiaoxin.
"Let me go take a look!" Jia Mu stood up and said, "I just bought something for the child."
Judging from what he had sent out before, Zhao Qiaoxin shouldn't be able to kick her out. As long as he is willing to let her in, he will be able to get closer and closer in the future.
Jia's mother was not very lucky. When she arrived at Chu Yunli's new house, the two Zhao brothers also came.
Several people walked in together. Zhao Mingle glanced at her with a cold look in his eyes. He did not say anything unpleasant after all. The third brother Zhao Mingxi was not polite: "Auntie, why do you have the nerve to come to the door? Could it be because you think my sister is having a better life?
Come to enjoy the autumn breeze?"
Mother Jia has heard about the recent situation of the Zhao brothers. The eldest brother, Zhao Mingkang, has been staying in the countryside. It seems that he is not liked by Zhao Qiaoxin and has not been able to do business. The second and third children have received Zhao Qiaoxin's guidance. I heard that they are doing well recently and are wearing silk and satin.
Not to mention, I often travel between the village and the city, and I am already looking for people in the alleys to ask about the courtyards in the city.
Of course, they cannot afford Zhao Qiaoxin's current big house, and they only plan to buy a small courtyard in the alley to live temporarily.
Thinking of this, Jia Mu regretted more and more that she had left too hastily and failed to reconcile the whole family. Otherwise, she would be the one who would get a share of the pie now.
"No, I just came to see my grandson." Mother Jia's attitude was gentle, but her tone was cold, and her words were deliberately harsh. No matter how capable Zhao Qiaoxin was, the child she gave birth to was from the Jia family, and everything she owned in the future was
Owned by the Jia family's descendants.
Zhao Mingxi was dissatisfied and wanted to speak, but Zhao Mingle stopped him: "Third brother! You were bitten by a dog, are you going to bite me back?"
Jia Mu: "..." What kind of metaphor is this?
What a bully!
Hearing this, Zhao Ming was overjoyed, stopped talking to Jia Mu, and took the lead in walking ahead. Not long after, he saw the child crawling on the ground in the yard, and stepped forward to pick him up: "Call Third Uncle. After calling, give it to me."
you this!"
He took out a brightly colored cat. The child liked it very much and reached out to catch it. The uncle and nephew became entangled in each other instantly.
Jia's mother saw this in her eyes and was particularly envious: "Qiao Xin, how are you doing lately?"
Chu Yunli looked sideways at her: "It's good. If I didn't see you and didn't think of those disgusting things in the past, I would be better."
Jia Mu: "..."
"Qiao Xin, can't you get through those things?"
Chu Yunli nodded: "Yes! So don't come to me!"
Mother Jia looked ugly: "I gave the child a lot of things."
Mentioning this matter, Chu Yunli suddenly looked stunned, turned his head and shouted: "Auntie, please take out the things I asked you to collect earlier."
Hearing this, Jia Mu suddenly had a bad premonition in her heart. The next moment, she saw the aunt come out of the house with a large bag and placed it in front of her. There was a vague smell of a strange smell inside, which was the sour food.
Stink.
Could it be...that all the things she had secretly sent were here?
