The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 99 Borrowing Silver
Li Jiren was paralyzed alone. The news spread throughout the village, which also made everyone sigh. Some people in his family were forced to whisper that they must not do the hard work of carrying wood. Did you see this? That's the example.

Chen Qicai's family at the south end of the village was talking about this matter, and Chen Qicai sighed again and again.

Since the kudzu root was no longer sold, and he couldn't make candy, the family had no income at all. My mother became even more ill, so I added some medicine to the prescription. This medicine is expensive. In their family's situation, they have to take everything. Sorry.

He couldn't watch his mother being sick. He knew that Li Jiren and his son had gone to carry wood to earn money. It had been half a month and they still hadn't come back. He must have made money, and the work of carrying wood was the most profitable.

He was planning to ask his eldest son to carry wood for a few days to earn some money when he suddenly heard that Li Jiren had carried it back. He was hit by a piece of wood and would have to spend the rest of his life in bed. He was also very scared. Fortunately, fortunately I haven’t let my son go yet.

He understands the pain of being pregnant better than anyone else. He is just lame and can't work so well. He is paralyzed in bed and can't do anything. If he can take care of himself, then the sky is falling. It’s over.

Now I can't carry this wood anymore, but I need to give my mother medicine, what should I do?

He couldn't help but discuss with his family about borrowing money from his brother-in-law's family.

His daughter-in-law, Mrs. Mao, said: "We haven't paid back what we borrowed last time. My siblings have had troubles a few times. How can we still borrow it?"

Chen Qicai had no choice but to let his daughter-in-law go back to her parents' house to borrow it, right? My in-laws' family is also very poor.

Mao rolled his eyes and gave him an idea: "How about borrowing some from Li Jihe's house?"

Everyone in the village now knows that his family's life has improved and is very prosperous. They hire dozens of helpers every day. How much wages do they have to pay? The carpentry workshop didn't make any money, so how could he dare to lay out such a grand display?

Therefore, his family must have extra money.

"If the pomegranate girl hadn't claimed that the kudzu root was a medicinal material so that the whole village knew it, we could have saved a lot of money relying on the kudzu root. How come we can't even get the supplementary medicine now? This matter is It should be blamed on Pomegranate, so just go and beg her about this. The little girl is so soft-hearted that even if she lends us a coin or two, it will be enough for my mother to grab the medicine first and take it back."

Chen Qicai heard what he said made sense. He didn't borrow more, and he didn't refuse to pay it back. The Shiliu family now had a lot of money. Isn't it just a matter of raising a hand to borrow this small amount of money?

It would be best to lend him the money and then go into the carpentry workshop to help pay off the debt when the time comes.

As for the carpentry workshop, many people in the village want to join it, but unfortunately they are not recruiting people.

Well, that's it, he'll go borrow money tomorrow!

Every household in Xiahe Village has something to talk about, and some people even have trouble sleeping at night. Ding Fuguang, who is far away in Luoshui City, has no intention of sleeping at this moment.

For no other reason than matchmaker Zhou's reply to the letter and how she had gone and come back, Li Jihe's family actually rejected the marriage.

According to Matchmaker Zhou, if she let her words slip, Li Jihe didn't even hesitate and just refused.

Ding Fuguang really couldn't understand. Wasn't he sincere enough?
sincerity
He had been pacing in the study and thinking about it for a long time. Suddenly, an idea flashed in his mind.

Why did he notice the pomegranate in the first place? Isn't it because she is just like him when he was young, with a rare calmness and perseverance that does not belong to young people?

Perseverance, most people with this kind of mentality have good ideas and have their own opinions, like him.

Since he thought highly of Pomegranate, how could he doubt that she had no ideas of her own.

Ding Fuguang hissed and made a decision. He had to go see Shiliu and talk to her in person.

He planned to go back to Dafengji early tomorrow morning, but when he returned to the main courtyard first, Wang came to greet him, "Master! Why did I hear the news that you met Matchmaker Zhou today? Didn't you promise me not to propose marriage? ? Why are you going to invite Matchmaker Zhou behind my back again?" Ding Fuguang was so noisy by her sharp words that he had a headache. He couldn't help but sigh because he couldn't propose marriage, "Yes, I will invite Matchmaker Zhou to you today. Now that the Li family has gone, you thought the Li family would be happy to accept the marriage, right? Unfortunately, the Li family refused without any hesitation, even after seeing such a big box of jewelry and satin!"

So, you think that someone wants to get married for money, but they don’t want this marriage at all!

When Wang heard this, she was naturally shocked and stunned. She was surprised because she thought her husband had just approached Matchmaker Zhou today, but she didn't expect that Matchmaker Zhou had already come to propose marriage. What was surprising was that the Li family actually refused the marriage?
Rejected the kiss? How can this be?

"How is that possible? Then the Li family, are they pretending to be retreating in order to advance?" She looked suspicious.

How could you refuse such a good marriage? She simply didn't want to believe that the other party would look down on their family or her son, so she firmly believed that the Li family was playing hard to get, lest others say that his family was too high-spirited!

"Master, believe it or not, if you ask Matchmaker Zhou to go there again, her family will agree immediately!" Mrs. Wang couldn't help but snorted, "Those high-ranking families only refuse one and two marriage proposals to show their wealth, this little People from the countryside actually come here!"

If you go again, you won’t refuse again?

Ding Fuguang couldn't help but shake his head. He believed that if he went there again, the result would be the same.

That's why he wanted to see Pomegranate in person.

But there was no need to talk to his wife about this matter. He shook his head and did not answer any more words. He only asked the maid to bring hot water to soak his feet.

Seeing that he had no words to answer, Mrs. Wang thought that he had heard what she said, and became anxious, "Master, you can't let Matchmaker Zhou go to her again! I told you, this marriage won't work! I've already found her The golden matchmaker asked her to help with the fortune telling, and there will be good news in less than two days!"

Ding Fuguang listened and pretended not to hear. Anyway, even if his wife found a suitable candidate, she would still ask his opinion and would not make a decision behind his back.

He didn't care what his wife was doing, he still had to get his side done first.

-

Early in the morning, Shiliu packed a backpack and took Li Rongzhang up the mountain.

There are still a few days until delivery on the 15th, so there is no rush to make the candies for the remaining wooden boxes, we can just make them in the first two days.

After having two days of free time, Pomegranate thought about what she had said yesterday that she would teach her elder sister how to make more snacks when she had time. It just so happened that in this late winter and almost spring season, there was a kind of wild vegetable on the mountain that was in season.

She decided to make this dish first.

If you can do it well, you can even sell it.

She doesn't know how to make wooden boxes and can't get involved, so it would be good to do something else to make some income.

The siblings walked all the way along the bank of the Xishui River. There were not many houses they passed along the way, and none of them were close to the river bank. But if they wanted to go up the mountain, they would inevitably have to pass in front of Chen Qicai's house.

Chen Qicai made an agreement with his wife last night. He originally planned to come back at noon, but he happened to see pomegranates in his yard. He thought to himself: This is not a good opportunity to deliver it to your door! What if there is no one there after noon?
Immediately, he shouted to Pomegranate and walked towards the door.

"Pomegranate! Hey! Pomegranate!"
