At the beginning, the abandoned wife brought two children, and became the richest man by farming and

Along the way, Yi Ren thought about it: Aunt Li and Brother Jin Bao took the children to pick a lot of Jiudeng lotus yesterday. If the melon seeds are peeled off, it should weigh [-] catties, but they must be carefully selected for sale to restaurants, and they are small. Yes, you can't take empty shells, flat shells, or soft shells. In this way, at least ten catties will be required.When wet melon seeds are fried, some water will evaporate. Generally, ten catties of raw melon seeds will produce seven or eight catties of cooked melon seeds...

Calculated in this way, the stock at home can only produce [-] catties of ripe melon seeds, and at least [-] catties of raw melon seeds must be needed!I and Aunt Li have to be in charge of frying, so I'm afraid I won't be free to pick them now...

She thought about it all the way, and when she was about to get home, she suddenly thought of someone—the original owner's childhood playmate, Qiu Guifen.

Songjiazhuang has four generations in the past, and perhaps most of them have the surname Song, but in recent years, the number of foreign surnames has gradually increased.Qiu Guifen was about the same age as the original owner, and had fled from the south.At that time, her parents were bringing three children. The eldest was seriously ill when he arrived. His belly was as big as a woman's pregnancy, and he died not long after.The third child was the youngest, and Gui Fen's mother couldn't even eat a full meal, and naturally she had no milk. The third child also starved to death not long after.Later, four more boys were born. The family was poor, and it was hard to support them.

Migrant households cannot divide their land, so the Qiu family can only plant in the spring and harvest in the autumn. When the fields are busy, they will do part-time jobs for other families to earn some living expenses.During the slack season, Gui Fen's father also went to the pier or repaired city walls and canals at the request of the government.Gui Fenniang is good at embroidery, if it wasn't for the cost of lamp oil at night, she could embroider day and night.

Over the years, the family did not see any prosperity, but Gui Fen's father was exhausted and passed away five years ago.Gui Fenniang has done too much embroidery, and her eyes are not good.Not to mention the dowry at home, even eating a full meal is exhausting. No matter how good Ren Guifen's embroidery is, she can't marry a good family.

In Gui Fen's year, it happened that the village official Song Shan lost his wife, and Song Shan's wife gave him a continuation, so she married Gui Fen.

Song Shan is a decent person, and he is also Song Yiren's clan uncle, but the relationship is a little distant.He was nearly forty years old when he lost his wife, and he didn't want to continue Xuan Xuan, but he couldn't bear the persecution of his wife, and he also considered the children in the family.The eldest brother, Song Dalin, is already twenty, he is a son and has already married, so it doesn't matter.But the second and third are girls, one is seventeen and the other is only thirteen, which is the age at which mothers need to discipline and talk about marriage.In the end, the mother made the decision and married Qiu Guifen, who was poor and had a good personality.

Gui Fen became a stepmother at eighteen, her stepson was three years older than her, and her two stepdaughters were around her age, and one was not a few years younger than her.She has a shy personality, and her stepson and stepdaughter are not easy to get along with. Although she has given birth to a pair of twins and a young son, life is still difficult.

Song Yiren walked quickly to Cunzheng's house, and as soon as he entered the courtyard, he heard crying and cursing inside.

"Little girl, what's the big deal? I'm just my son. I don't own everything in the house, and the position in the village is mine!" Song Yiren sounded like Song Dazhong, and then there was the sound of cups and bowls breaking.

"Brother, will it be in the West Wing? The West Wing is always locked!" Song Yiren didn't know the two girls from the village Zheng's family well, so he didn't know which one was talking.All I could hear was the whimpering of a woman accompanying the two of them talking.

Song Shan's house is the most magnificent and largest house in Songjiazhuang. There are five rooms in total. The main room in the front is the hall and the bedrooms of Song Shan and Qiu Guifen.There are east and west rooms on the left and right, and Song Erhua and Song Sanyu live in the west room together.Song Dalin and his daughter-in-law Xia lived in the two rooms behind.

"Mother, why did big brother search our house?" A childish voice came out.

"What is your house? This is my house, little wild species!" the male voice scolded.

"Wow." The two children cried heartbreakingly.

Song Yiren had already reached the door of the main room, just in time to bump into the brothers and sisters of the Song family rushing out of the door. In order to avoid being hit in the stomach, she stretched out her hand to block it, but unexpectedly pushed Song Erhua to the ground.

"Ouch!" Song Dahua fell on his back, sitting on the ground and couldn't get up. "Brother, is this bitch looking for help?" Turning her head, she pointed at Qiu Guifen and said.

Song Yiren looked around the room, Qiu Guifen fell to the ground, and Ai Ai burst into tears.Standing behind them were two children, judging by their age, they should be twins, crying loudly.She couldn't help but feel angry: the brothers and sisters of the Song family, what kind of skill is it to bully women and children!
"Look at where you are going, the bald-headed melon who is older than your second uncle and grandpa is intimidating, and Gui Fen still needs to find a helper? The toad will have to detour if he sees you!" Song Yiren opened his mouth and hated Song Dahua.

"You, you." Song Dahua pointed at Song Yiren's face and remained silent for a long time.

"I heard that your good-looking husband kicked you? Why? Recently, he got on with Aunt Li's family's gold treasure? It's so pompous!" Song Dazhong pulled his sister away, and opened his mouth to make stinky remarks. "Tsk tsk tsk, look, even though she is an abandoned woman, she has such a small face and figure, no wonder she seduced Jin Bao."

"Dashan, I'm still your mother in name! I'm in charge of you! Don't say that!" Qiu Guifen saw Song Dazhong humiliating Song Yiren so much, although she was weak, she still stood up and scolded.

"Bastard! My mother died so badly! You two are the same asshole! Song Yiren looks like this, and seducing men is a must!" Song Dazhong looked at Song Yiren with a lewd look.

"Looking like this is to seduce men. You have such a stinky mouth, is it to seduce the toilet?" Song Yiren showed no sign of weakness. "She married your father, and she is your mother. You don't need to call her that, but at least you have to respect her! That is, my aunt has a gentle personality. I think you can't tell the difference between the big and the big. The belly button is long and the back is on the back, which is the opposite of you." Alright!" In terms of seniority, Song Yiren should indeed call Qiu Guifen "auntie".

Song Dazhong was so angry that his seven orifices were about to smoke, his eyes were wide open.Qiu Guifen sent the two children back to bedroom [-], and hurriedly stood between them, afraid that Song Dazhong would get mixed up, so she moved her hand.

Qiu Guifen has a weak personality and a kind heart, and she is anxious: Yiren is still pregnant, how can she be hurt because of her own affairs?
"Brother, while father is not at home, let's go find him!" Song Erhua saw that his brother was losing his tongue, and also feared that his father would come back suddenly, so he pulled Song Dazhong, and the two went straight to the East Wing.

"What are they looking for?" Song Yiren couldn't help asking after the siblings left.

"What can I look for? Money!" After hearing Song Yiren's question, Qiu Guifen burst into tears again. "Your clan uncle brought people to repair the canals for the government today. They came to ask for money while he was not at home, saying that Erhua's dowry was not enough and they wanted to add it."

"Erhua has a bad personality, everyone in the village knows it, I'm afraid no one wants to marry, what kind of marriage did you say?" Yi Ren has also heard about Erhua's reputation.

"In the county seat, they say they have a well-established family, but no, she has repeatedly said that she is afraid of being looked down upon by her husband's family, and she wants to add a dowry. I have indeed added it!"

"Then they went to the east wing."

"It's okay, the money is not in the east chamber."

"You, your character is too weak, like I used to be, you can't do it. Fortunately, you are still smart!"

Hearing what her old friend said, Qiu Guifen smiled shyly. "I'm a stepmother, so it's better than when I'm at home! By the way, Yiren, I heard that you and your husband have divorced?" Qiu Guifen's eyes flickered with worry.

"Yes, it's okay, I can earn money to support myself and my children!" He said and stroked his stomach.

"Yi Ren, you seem to be really different from before." Qiu Guifen looked her childhood playmate up and down for a long time before she said.

"I came to you because I wanted to tell you something about earning money!" Yi Ren said seriously.

"Me? Your clan uncle hasn't come back yet." Qiu Guifen wondered, usually men take care of outside affairs, not only in their family, but also in most villages and towns.

"I'm not looking for my uncle, I'll just tell you." Yi Ren held Gui Fen's hand. "Gui Fen, I'll call you Gui Fen when there is no one else!" Gui Fen nodded, and she continued: "I want Jiudenglian melon seeds, I know you will pick some every year, and save them for the New Year's Eve." Fry it yourself!"

"I thought it was a big deal, you want me to get you something to eat!" Gui Fen got up and was about to go to the cellar to the west.

"Gui Fen, listen to me!" Yi Ren held her back. "I want thirty catties today, and I may ask for it every day in the future. The quantity is only a little bit more. I will count the money to you every day!"

"So much? What do you want this for? Can you make money? It's very troublesome to fry this stuff, it's too difficult to fry it well, and it's not so expensive to sell it!" Gui Fen was a little worried about her friend.

"Don't worry! I'll definitely earn it!"

"Thirty catties today must be enough, but if you have to have so much every day, it's not enough. But these things are all born by the edge of the mountain forest, and they are also valuable, no one picks them!"

"That's right, Gui Fen, I'm heavy and have to go out every day, so I can't pick them, so I'm here to beg you!"

"But I have three children with me, I'm afraid I won't be able to spare time!" Gui Fen frowned and thought.

"Gui Fen, I want you and the clan uncle to go to each family to adopt the village in the name of the official. After all, I am a widow, and I am afraid that people in the village will not believe me!" I am afraid that it is difficult for melon seeds to gain people's trust.The village still recognizes the village official very much, so the price that the village official charges can be fair. In addition, my body and time really do not allow me to do this.

"Normal [-] catties of raw melon seeds cost more than ten yuan. I will give you twenty yuan, but they must be uniform in size, full of grains, and not adulterated! As for how much money you and your uncle collect from the villagers, that's fine. It's your business, and you deserve how much money you earn!" Yi Ren explained.

"Yiren, the price of [-] Wen is really high. It is only a few Wen for a catty of fried melon seeds in the market, but it is really difficult and troublesome to fry melon seeds. Are you sure you can make money?" Gui Fen was still worried. .

"Don't worry, Gui Fen! You can just discuss it with your uncle! I'll confirm the dosage when the time comes, just let me know after you've discussed it!" Yi Ren said as he took out twenty copper coins. "This is today's [-] catties of raw melon seeds! In addition, I will also give me a catty of peanuts and golden chestnuts at home!"

Gui Fen saw that there were twenty copper coins, and she refused to take them for a while. Raw melon seeds are not worth much, and golden chestnuts are not delicious, so she usually picks them from the mountains. The peanuts are worth a few dollars, but these Things are not worth twenty cents!

Yi Ren let her accept it with confidence, and there will be more opportunities to communicate in the future.Gui Fen stopped, and took a full load of raw melon seeds, peanuts and golden chestnuts from the cellar.

Seeing Song Dazhong and Song Erhua returning from the east wing when they were leaving, Yiren couldn't help but say, "Gui Fen, the brothers and sisters of the Song family are masters who can make trouble. You have to do it for your three children, not for yourself. You can't be weak!"

Gui Fen sighed and nodded, she seemed to be full of worries about her future life and not very hopeful.

Yi Ren thought; when he earns money, he can also earn money with Gui Fen, and he will be able to stand up in this family. It's not too late then!

She didn't say much, and went home with a basket on her back!
