The peasant girl who escaped the famine: pick up the leak and pick up a prince

Chapter 20 Selling Flowers ([-])

After one night, Yu Maimai found that the flowers were wilting, and she was very sad.

"What's going on here? Why are other people's flowers very bright, but the ones I picked all look like this overnight? What can I do?"

When Ning woke up early in the morning, seeing the wilted flowers, she shook her head dejectedly.

"Mother, it seems that this business can't be done. Let's think of other ways. The house at home has just been repaired in the past two days. Why don't we clean up the house first, and then we can think about how to make money, okay?"

In Yu Maimai's opinion, the matter of making money must not wait, and the affairs of the family must not be delayed. Thinking of her two daughters-in-law and two grandchildren, she recruited all the family members to the main room for a small family meeting.

In the main room, there was a table near the window, and several people sat down around the table.

Nan Nan and Tun Tun glanced at each other, staring with a pair of small eyes.

"Grandma, do you have something to say, or did mother and aunt make a mistake?"

Yu Maimai sat down and said solemnly: "How about this, I will go to the market with the second child's family later, and the old family's family will look at the two children and tidy up the house by the way."

Tuntun pouted, and said unhappily: "Why does grandma always take mother with her when she goes out? I don't like it. I want to go to the market with grandma."

This hoarding is the most noisy, and after such a commotion, Nan Nan also followed, arguing to follow grandma to the market, and the two daughters-in-law also glanced at each other, expressing their helplessness.

Yu Maimai sat down and started to coax her grandson. She took out two candies from her bosom, gave one to Tuntun and Nannan, touched their heads and said, "You two belong to our family. Little man, you have to be obedient and take good care of our family, grandma is going to the market to make money, and when she makes money, grandma will take you to the market, shopping lanterns, and watching a play, okay?"

The two little guys nodded immediately and stopped making noise.

Ning's arm is still not healed, but this time her memory has improved, she stopped dressing up, and followed Yu Mai out the door in only a linen shirt.

The people in Kushuihe were all relocated from Mijiawan, so everyone is familiar with it. It was Uncle Liu who drove the ox cart. Seeing that Yu Maimai and his daughter-in-law were going out, he dared not talk too much this time.

"You're going out. You're going out so early. I'm afraid that this trip will run in vain."

Uncle Liu's family is in a bad situation. His wife has always been sick and has raised a son and a daughter. His son Liu Cheng listens to his daughter-in-law and is not filial. He has food for himself, and he will never remember that there are parents, and the daughter is married. It's far away, and I can't come back once a year.

Yu Maimai got into the bullock cart. Obviously, Uncle Liu talked a lot less this time, but Yu Maimai talked more.

"Uncle Liu, how is your income these two days? Has your aunt's illness improved?"

Uncle Liu turned around and glanced at Yu Maimai, a little curious, but he couldn't help but sigh: "What kind of income is there? I can't help it. I just recruit a few people, earn a few pennies, and maintain my life. Old women often have Sickness, tuberculosis, and coughing."

Yu Maimai thought of his own system, and thought, if the system had this kind of medicinal material, it might be able to cure his aunt's illness. This old man is quite pitiful.

"How about this, I just learned a little medical skills from someone, and when I come back later, I'll stop by to see my aunt, maybe I can cure her illness?"

When Uncle Liu heard this, he said in surprise: "Really? You actually see a doctor, but my old lady has been sick for many years, and the doctor has also seen it, but there is still nothing to do?"

Yu Maimai is also a very sympathetic person. She can tell that the old lady of the Liu family may have bronchitis or something. She herself has some medical knowledge. Rare medicinal materials that can't be found can be found in the medicine storehouse.

"Really, Uncle Liu, please stop at the entrance of the market in front, let's come down and go to your house later to see a doctor for my aunt."

The old man said happily: "Okay!"

Yu Maimai brought his daughter-in-law Ning Shi to the back door of Chunhua Building, Ning Shi said with some disgust: "Mother, why did you bring me to such a dirty place?"

It can be seen that this Ning family is an extremely conservative woman, and she attaches great importance to women's chastity.

"Go forward, remember, we are here to do business, not to sell you, what's the matter, are you worried that mother will sell you?"

Ning shook her head vigorously: "Mother, no, my daughter-in-law is just curious, why did mother bring me to this place?"

Yu Maimai stepped forward and grabbed Ning Shi: "Don't worry, although I am your stepmother, after getting along for such a long time, I think you are all good people, and I will not do such a nasty thing." things."

The back street of Chunhua Building is obviously not as lively as the front street. Occasionally, a shopkeeper carrying a load will pass by, shouting as he walks, and several carriages are also parked at the back door, and an unknown man can be seen getting out of the carriage. , sneaking into Chunhua Building through the back door.

There was a man in a black robe standing at the back door. Seeing Yu Maimai walking over, he kept rubbing his hands: "What's the matter, what's going on? It's been so long since I saw you coming, I can tell you, If it happens again next time, we don’t need to do business.”

When she got here, Ning suddenly realized that the flowers had wilted, she frowned and dared not move forward.

"Mother, our flowers are all withered. What are we doing here? Wouldn't we be embarrassed if they were sent back?"

Naturally Yu Maimai would not come here with withered flowers, she said with a smile: "Don't worry, our flowers are the most colorful, go quickly."

This business was all because of Lotus' help, and she ventured into the brothel by herself, so she couldn't just give up just because she was a little late. Wouldn't this be a waste of all previous efforts?
Yu Maimai fumbled in his pocket, and there was still a little bit of silver. He hurried forward, handed the silver in his hand to the man in front of him, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, we left just now. Okay, I don’t know where the wild man rushed over with a horse, and we also took a detour, so it’s a bit late, big brother, don’t take offense.”

For such a handsome person as Yu Maimai, the man couldn't help but tremble when he called him "brother" so crisply.

"The current market is very chaotic, especially for a pretty lady like you, but you must be careful, and don't let those people take advantage of you."

But Ning said unhappily: "What are you talking about, this is my mother-in-law."

"Oh, you are so young like a goblin, whose mother-in-law is prettier than the daughter-in-law?"
