Chapter 67 Chunyan becomes a spy

Liang Shuyan brought the children out and lowered her voice and said: "Mom thought of a way, let's do this. It's a good season to sell jelly, but we have too few potatoes at home, so I decided to let the villagers Each family will take out their own potatoes, wash them, cut them into slices, and buy them for two cents per catty, or two oxen, and you are responsible for spreading the news!"

Sanwang blinked and said, "Mom, what should I do? Now that eldest brother is not here, can we still make steamed buns?"

"No need, you follow your second brother and be responsible for purchasing potato chips!"

"From my second brother's house, you are responsible for grinding and steaming it!"

"Old man, you follow me, go to the mountains to get some game, and make vegetable pancakes when you come back. When the mountains are away, we will stop making steamed buns and make vegetable pancakes instead!"

When Mrs. Zhao learned that Liang Shuyan wanted to buy potato chips, she frowned: "This woman actually has the money to buy this pickled stuff. Could it be that this shiny jelly is made from this stuff?"

Mrs. Zhao had her own plan in mind and said to Chunyan: "Chunyan, go to your aunt's house and give these dried potato chips to her, but you have to find a way to stay. No matter what method you use, take a peek. Do you know how your aunt made this jelly?"

Chunyan was a little confused: "Mom, do you want me to be a bad person? I, I won't go. If my aunt finds out, she won't give me any delicious food in the future. I won't go!"

Mrs. Zhao slapped her over: "Oh, you stupid head, why can't you figure it out? If our family can also make jelly, we can also go out and set up a stall. If we have money, what kind of good will it be?" Have you eaten?"

Chunyan is a little fat boy, greedy, and loves to eat. Among the children in the family, she is the most unpleasant one. Mrs. Zhao has always wanted to have a boy, but her stomach just doesn't live up to expectations.

"Really? Mom, as long as Mom promises to buy me delicious food, I will go."

Zhao was so excited that she took down some potato chips drying on her roof and handed them to Chunyan: "Go, follow what I said, and you must learn it. As long as we learn this craft, we can make money like your aunt." , then won’t our family be rich by then?”

Mrs. Zhao was daydreaming non-stop. When she saw Jin Wang coming in, she said with a sullen face: "What are you still doing? Go clean it up quickly and see how many potatoes there are in the cellar. Pull them up and wash them clean." Let it dry!"

Jin Wang crossed his arms and said boredly: "Stop dreaming. If you really want to make money, do you think that woman can give this good thing to everyone? She must have run out of materials in the jelly business, so she is driving up the whole village." Help her find ingredients, you stupid bitch!"

Carrying a bamboo basket and wearing a patched tattered shirt, Chunyan carefully arrived at the door of Liang Shuyan's house and squatted at the door to observe the movement.

Sanwang came back with a hoe on his back. There was a basket on the hoe, and there were some wild vegetables in the basket. Chunyan was curious when he saw this.

"Hey, Chunyan, what are you doing sneaking around in front of my house?"

Chunyan was so frightened that she staggered to the ground, and all the potato chips in the basket fell to the ground.

"Oh, I see. Are you here to sell potato chips? You only have a few potato chips, which are less than a pound. How much can you buy them for?"

Chunyan muttered and grabbed Sanwang's sleeve: "Brother Sanwang, please intercede with auntie and let me stay and help auntie!"

"Okay, don't act crazy with me here. You just saw that we have food at home and want to come to our house to get some food, don't you?"

Of course, Sanwang didn't know the purpose of Chunyan's visit this time. His guess could only be based on his own feelings!

Li Lanfang put down her work and walked out of the house. "Chunyan, why did you come to my house?"

Chunyan looked up and found that it was the old lady. The uncle grabbed the old lady's legs and cried for the first time: "Grandma, please, let me stay and help auntie. I really don't want to go back. My mother wants to Sold me to that bachelor."

"Your mother is a shameless whore. She is incapable of giving birth to a son. Now these two girls can't accommodate her. Get up and go back and ask your father to come over!"

Chunyan thought that if she made money, she would have delicious food, so she continued to lie: "Grandma, my father can't control my mother. Please, let Chunyan stay."

The old lady stamped her crutches: "I can't make the decision yet. I'll wait until your aunt comes back."

While they were talking, Liang Shuyan and Mrs. Zhang came in one after another!

Chunyan immediately stood up, walked towards Liang Shuyan, and knelt down without any pain: "Auntie, please keep me here, my mother is going to sell me to a bachelor."

A thought suddenly arose in Liang Shuyan's mind: "This is wrong. I just informed everyone to collect potato chips from each house. In the blink of an eye, something like this happened to Chunyan. Could this woman be up to something? That’s all, since Mr. Zhao has this intention, why not satisfy his wish.”

"Chunyan, get up first. Listen to me. There are quite a few people working in our family now, but I still have to make a summary of your mother's plan to sell you to a bachelor. Since she's here, she must follow my instructions. To do things according to the rules, first of all, you have to do the hard work inside and outside our home. If you can't finish the work at home, you won't have food to eat, and you have to sleep outside at night."

Liang Shuyan just wanted to test this Chunyan to see if these demands would scare her away!

"Auntie, Chunyan is willing! As long as auntie cooks and takes Chunyan with her!"

When Liang Shuyan heard this, she suddenly sobered up: "Could it be that the second son's family just wants to find a reason for Chunyan to learn the jelly making technique from her?"

"Okay! You can stay if you want. From now on, you will work hard at my house for free for a month. If you can persist, I will agree to let you stay."

One day, Chunyan pouted and said, "Auntie? One month, isn't that too long?"

"Okay, if you think it will take a long time, then go back. Anyway, there is no shortage of work in our family."

Helpless, Chunyan had no choice but to agree first, and then look for opportunities to please her aunt, maybe she would have a chance.

"Auntie, I'll do it, I'll do it!"

However, Madam Zhang returned to the kitchen and muttered to Madam Liu: "Tell me, this Chunyan from Second Aunt's house rarely comes to our house, but she wants to stay at our house this time. Do you think it's strange?"

Mrs. Liu clicked her tongue: "Oh, sister-in-law, why don't you think about it? Chunyan is staying at our house at this time. I think it must have been her mother who instigated her. Our family has made money on jelly, so she must have come to our house. Stealing our craftsmanship!”

"Yes, why didn't I think of such an important thing? No, I must tell mother about this!"
