Several times in dreams

Chapter 35
When Wen Jun's illness was completely cured, Meng Wanying had already put the summer grain into the warehouse, and the accounts were clear.

If it wasn't for the weak body after the illness, Chen Wenjun really wanted to hug Wanying and throw it into the sky a few times. You must know that every year just fighting with the tenant farmers would take a lot of time.

Not to mention the messy account with Chen Shifei, it takes a whole month of tossing every year to barely finish it.

As expected, Meng Wanying was born in a family of merchants. After thinking about it for two nights before harvesting the grain, she came up with this series of plans, saving time and effort, and the calculation was slightly higher than before by [-]%.

First of all, instead of haggling with the tenant farmers and grinding their mouths, it is better to give them the profit directly. When they get the benefits, they will naturally not haggle over every penny when paying the grain, and pay quickly and happily.

In the past years, the Chen family and their sons have been grinding their mouths, until the end, this family is dependent on that family, but the total number has not improved year by year, and it is good if it does not regress.

This year, Meng Wanying took down Chen San'er, who took the lead in playing tricks, and the others naturally stopped, saving a lot of time. After all, the labor of collecting grain and putting it into storage is also calculated on a daily basis.

Secondly, if you go to the mill to grind flour for free, the condition is that the bran remains, and the cost of grinding flour is greater than the value of the bran. Naturally, no one objects.

The bran you get can be used as feed for pigs and chickens, and naturally you can save a lot of money. Saving money is equal to making money.

Besides, when exchanging grain for cloth and medicine, the tenants don’t have much cash in their hands, and usually they need cash to sell surplus grain. Now they have the opportunity to directly exchange things, which saves trouble, and it’s better than spending silver dollars to buy things after selling grain. It's a good deal, of course I want to.

This shop is our own, buy low and sell high, there is no loss-making business when you enter and exit, food is in short supply during times of chaos, and the extra food that comes in can be stored for emergencies.

A rough calculation shows that the grain harvest alone is [-]% more than in previous years, and the follow-up business is calculated, and the income is more than [-]% more.

Chen Wenjun is also a middle school educated person. He usually goes to the countryside with his father to collect grain, and it is not uncommon to go to the market to buy goods, so he is not uninformed.

But after hearing these plans of Meng Wanying, he was stunned. He hugged Wanying and slapped his face fiercely, "My lady, my sister, you are really amazing, it is a blessing to marry you!"

"I hate it! They say you are an honest person, why are you so glib, I have to take a good rest these few days, and in a few days, you have to take me back to my mother's house, I miss my mother!"

"Okay, okay, don't do anything these few days, I will take good care of you!" Chen Wenjun's face was full of doting.

"By the way, my mother-in-law said that our father is much better. Zhao Langzhong has the ability. After more than ten days of getting silver needles, my father can already sit up and speak coherently. He can't even walk. I have to go to him tomorrow. Please go, old man!"

"Okay, I'll accompany you. Dad heard that you have worked so hard these days, and asked mother to cook black chicken soup for you tomorrow! Dad is so happy and praises you every day!"

Early the next morning, Wanying's young couple greeted Chen Zhizhou. Master Chen was so anxious that he smashed his legs on the bed a few days ago, hating that he fell down at the wrong time and almost got worse.

Jiang shi persuaded him with kind words, and told him that Wanying was in charge, and the grain harvest was smoother than in previous years, and the harvest was [-]% more, Chen Zhizhou felt relieved.

Chen Shifei, the accountant, went to the bedside three times a day to report the daily progress. Mr. Chen stroked his beard and smiled from ear to ear. This daughter-in-law is really the lucky star of the Chen family!
After eating the black-bone chicken noodle soup made by Jiang's, and two pieces of pea cake, Wanying asked Wen Jun to go to the granary to review. After all, some things need to be handled by her own family to be safe.

"Okay, I'll listen to my sister, you can be my husband in the future." Chen Wenjun smiled softly, and obediently went to the warehouse.

Meng Wanying felt a little full in her stomach, so she called Chunni, and they walked around the backyard together.

"Young mistress, when will the young master be born?" Chunni asked foolishly.

"It's going to be spring next year, after the first month?" Wanying also looked confused, her mother-in-law Jiang had calculated it, she seemed to remember saying so.

"It was still cold at that time, so you should wear a padded jacket? Why didn't Young Mistress see you make a padded jacket?"

"Chunni, are you stupid? Babies don't wear clothes when they are born, they are all wrapped in a quilt!"

Chunni blinked her eyes, "Yes, my brother was wrapped in a quilt when he was a child, how could I forget!"

"Stupid!"

Tired from walking, the master and servant sat in the shade under the grape arbor to rest, Chunni fanned Wanying lightly, and the two discussed how to return to their mother's house in a few days.

While talking, I saw Yun Juan and Yun Shu, the little girls in the mansion, coming from the front wing with a smile on their faces, and went to the servant's room. When they saw Meng Wanying in the garden, they hurried over to salute.

"Little girl, what treasure did you get? See if you two are happy!" Chunni couldn't help being curious.

"Young Mistress! Elder Sister Chunni, today's Madam asked us to clean the Young Master's and Miss's room, saying that it's hot today, so we should clean out the unnecessary things, so as not to attract insects and mold!"

"It turned out that I found this in the eldest lady's room, and it fell behind the phlegm jar," Yun Shu smiled and held up a topaz pendant.

"Okay, you guys are getting bolder now, you dare to pick up the master's things yourself?" Chunni said angrily.

"How dare you, sister, I wiped it up and gave it to the eldest lady. The eldest lady didn't even look at it, so she said that she threw it away by herself, so she gave it to me!" Yun Shu said timidly.

"What about you?" Wanying's face turned cold.

"The little piece of muslin was also rewarded by the eldest lady. She told me to take it back. It's enough to make a cotton robe for my brother in winter!" Yun Juan said in a low voice, holding a piece of blue muslin cloth in his hand, which was ten feet long. Remain.

"You young lady is really generous..." Wanying leaned on the grape trellis and muttered to herself.

"Young Mistress, look at that girl's name is so nice. After all, the master of the family is a scholar. If you look at my name again, it's dead..."

Chunni looked at Yunjuan and Yunshu's back, and said enviously, when she turned around, she saw Meng Wanying's gloomy face was lost in thought, and she was too scared to speak anymore.

Back in the wing room, Meng Wanying was in a panic. After drinking three bowls of Mingqian weak tea, her heart was still dry.

I always thought that the fabric was shortened, and it was my mother-in-law who made things difficult for me. Later, I saw Jiang's taking care of me in every possible way, and I didn't look like that kind of person. Only now did I realize that all of this was done by Wenlan.

Although Wenlan has never been taken seriously in the Chen family, why should she not vent her grievances on herself?

After much deliberation, Wanying, who is straightforward, still plans to have a good talk with Wenlan. After all, they are under the same roof, and if they look down and see each other, the relationship should be harmonious.

Meng Wanying raised her legs and came to Wenlan's room. Just as she was about to knock on the door to enter, she heard Jiang roaring inside.

"You damn girl, if you're told to do this, you won't do it, and if you're asked to do that, you won't do it either. What do you want?"

There was no sound in the room, Wanying could imagine that Chen Wenlan must be holding the hem of her clothes, her eyes were downcast, and she didn't say a word.

Sure enough, this angered Jiang Shi even more, "Look, look, you look so dead when you talk about you, I really committed a crime, how did you give birth to such a crime!"

"Look at your sister-in-law. She is beautiful and educated. She can even handle things like collecting food. After passing through the door, she will add a queen to our Chen family. What kind of blessing is it for her mother to have such a daughter? ah!"

"All right, all right, she is good at everything, you can let her be your daughter, she is well educated, her natal family let her learn from her husband, why don't you let me go to school!"

Chen Wenlan finally broke out amid Jiang's nagging.

"A woman's ignorance is virtue. Your mother and I don't know how to read, so I became a lady. Your sister-in-law didn't go to school, so she just studied in the private school at home for a few days. Didn't your father also teach you how to read?" It's gone!"

"Hey, I didn't finish talking, where are you going?"

Chen Wenlan opened the door and saw Meng Wanying standing at the door. She seemed to have heard everything, and yelled hysterically, "Are you still smart? Overhearing other people's conversations, bitch!"

"Wenlan, no, I didn't want to eavesdrop, I just wanted to talk to you..." Wanying said incoherently.

"Go away!" Chen Wenlan pushed violently in anger, Wanying was unprepared, staggered, missed the door frame, fell heavily, and rolled down the steps.
