Chapter 167 Making Money Is an Adult's Business

Wang Dahong was ashamed and annoyed. For the first time, he felt a little disappointed with his own son. He actually made himself a fool of himself. Does he still regard himself as his mother?
Now she can't even find an excuse to take advantage of Chang Sanshi's house.

The Wen family would not be kind enough to comfort them. They saw that the misunderstanding had been cleared up and the food bags were saved, so they went back home unceremoniously.

There was a commotion at the entrance of the village, and within a short time, almost everyone in the village knew about the divorce, and accusations against Wang Dahong's family flooded in like a flood.

These have nothing to do with Chang Xi, the doors and windows of his house are closed, and he does not hear anything outside the window.

"Now that the family has recovered thousands of catties of grain, tell me, what should we do?"

Wen Furong waited for Chang Sanshi to decide.

"Part of the tax is paid, and part of it is kept at home to eat, and the rest can be sold except for storage."

Chang Sanshi gave his own answer.

"I'm going to hire someone to help our family build the house. Although the cost will be higher, it will only be solid if built by professional people."

"Housing is a lifetime thing, it's better not to settle for it." Chang Xi had no objection to these words.

But she added: "Dad, can we start a small business? I mean if we finish building the house, there will be some extra money."

Chang Sanshi smiled: "Xibao, what kind of small business do you want to do?"

"Well, for the time being, I just thought that we can use the surplus grain to make popcorn. Anyway, the ingredients are our own, and we can sell them if we can. If we can't sell them, we can eat them ourselves."

Popcorn is not a rare item. Nearby villages are selling it. The taste is sweet and fragrant. If you eat too much, you will get angry. The key is how to make it stand out from the existing popcorn.

Wen Furong doesn't think popcorn can make much money, but apart from that, she really can't think of any other more suitable business.

She thought for a while before nodding in agreement, and Chang Sanshi nodded accordingly, Chang Xi felt relieved.

She dared to bring it up because she had planned it in her heart.

The three brothers were in a daze. They knew nothing about business, so they couldn't participate in this topic at all. They sat dryly and looked up at Chang Xi's eyes.

Chang Xi didn't notice it, but got together with his mother and explained his plan in detail.

After hearing this, Wen Furong finally had a bottom line in her heart.

The next day, it was time to pay the grain to the village head's house, and the village head would hand it over to the government, and the tax payment was over.

After the busy farming period, the village school will resume classes as usual.

There is still a lot of food left in the Chang family, so during recess, Chang Xi purposely called Goudan to talk under the paulownia tree.

"How do you sell your maltose?"

"Brother! You want to eat maltose, I honor you every day."

Maodan's eyes sparkled with excitement.

Chang Xi stroked his forehead: "I don't want to take advantage of your family, I just want to discuss business with your family, forget it! You are still young and don't understand anything. When you come home from school, ask your mother if you want to do business with my family." .”

Goudan straightened his body and flattered: "Well, don't worry, big brother, wrap it on me. If my mother disagrees, I will cry and beg her."

Cao Jingxiu leaned against the door and listened, seeing Maodan running away, he opened his mouth leisurely.

"Doing business to make money, isn't that what the elders think about?"

Chang Xi rolled her eyes and saw his handsome, unearthly appearance, a wry smile appeared on the corner of her mouth.

"You are the son of a big landlord. I am different from having to worry about making a living since I was a child. If we don't work hard to earn money and farm, how will we survive?"

Cao Jingxiu felt strange in his heart, but he didn't say anything.

But Chang Xi's words lingered in my heart for a long time.

Chang Xi saw that he hadn't said anything, and sighed regretfully: "I don't expect you to understand what is suffering among the people."

The recess was over, and Chang Xi walked back to her seat.

Cao Jingxiu followed her, and they both sat down, Chang Xi heard a word behind her.

"Don't interfere with your homework."

Chang Xi thought it was funny, she raised her eyebrows, looked back at him, and found that this man was writing, ready to write at his desk, but swallowed the words on his lips.

But Chang Xi didn't know, until she turned her head, Cao Jingxiu's pen and ink hadn't landed on the rice paper.

The negotiation to buy maltose went very smoothly. Mao Danniang didn't look at the monk's face to see the Buddha's face. She was afraid of the little tiger so she didn't dare to enter the house.Standing at the door, he said a preferential price.

For the rest, you need to buy oil. I can’t use lard anyway, and I don’t care about other oils, as long as the popcorn doesn’t stick together after it’s cold.

The things in the early stage of doing business are paved.

On this day, before returning to town, Chang Sanshi went to the village chief's house to buy a homestead.

Because of Chang Xi's good luck last time, he got the Black Stone land with a single finger, which made Chang Sanshi regard his daughter as a mascot, and take her there again no matter what.

Chang Xi came to the village chief's house for the second time, except for Chang Congming staring at her unkindly, she didn't feel any discomfort.

Automatically ignoring the very smart existence, she greeted softly.

"Hello, cousin."

"Hmm." Village Chief Chang didn't say anything superfluous.

Because of Chang Xiuzhu's matter, he is not as high-spirited as before, and his smile is much less.

Chang Sanshi directly explained his purpose, and the village chief took out the drawings for them to choose, and Chang Xi was looking at them.

Chang Ercheng ran out with a sad face, "Father, my mother is going to die!"

"what?"

Not only Chang Chang, but even Chang Xi was stunned.

Ever since Chang Xiuzhu was taken away that day, the village chief's house has been closing the door to thank guests, and will not open the door unless there is something to do, especially the village chief's wife.
Catch up with such a thing, and they are related by relatives, they can't continue to choose the land calmly, and they come to the sick bed to visit together.

Looking at it this way, it's incredible.

Chang Xi used the knowledge she learned in later generations to conclude that she had a heart attack and was not in a good condition.

"Cousin, can you help my cousin to lie on her side? She is so uncomfortable!"

Chang Xi couldn't help but make a suggestion.

Although the village chief was puzzled, he still followed suit. The painful expression of the village chief's wife disappeared a little, but it did not completely improve.

Although she only said one sentence and didn't help much, but fortunately, it temporarily relieved the pain of the cousin, and the sad mood of the village chief's family also stabilized a little.

The village head finally took the initiative to talk about the illness: "Since she came back that day, she has been complaining of colic and tinnitus. Please ask your master to take a look. She has taken several medicines, but there is no improvement."

"The medicine is too expensive. We took it for a while, but it didn't get any better, so we had to keep it up. Hey girl, look at it."

The village head obviously pinned his hopes on the children.

He didn't think about it at first, but he observed his wife's face clearly just now, and lying on her side really helped her illness.

Only then did he want to try it, saying that it would be good if he went to the doctor in a hurry.
