Salted Fish Lady Loves to Eat Melons

Chapter 252 She really needs someone who can make money

"Ah! Are you all full?" Uncle Fan asked embarrassedly. He was so absorbed in eating the delicious food that he forgot that he was already full.

"If uncle is not full..." Xiao Lichuan was interrupted by his uncle before he could finish his words.

"My fourth nephew, I'm already very full. The main reason is that the food in your house is so delicious that I can't bear to put down my chopsticks."

"Since Dad is full, let's go to Zither Garden to drink some digestive tea and chat!" Fan Wenjie said quickly.

He knew that his father was daydreaming again and didn't hear what his cousin's wife said at all.

"Okay." Uncle Fan felt relieved when he saw that his son was not restrained at all and was more casual than when he was in the Fan family.

He followed in the footsteps of his two sons, recalling the past. He lived in Jiangnan Lotus Village for eight years.

Although he lived in poverty, it was the happiest time of his life. Even though she later... she still didn't hate her.

His aunt was not only a maid who came with his stepmother as a dowry, but also a maid who grew up with her.

Despite such affection, his aunt died a few years after giving birth to him. He was only three years old when his aunt died.

What he remembered most clearly was that his aunt said a lot to him before she died, saying that his stepmother was also a pitiful person.

All the changes in his stepmother started from the cancellation of the engagement... His aunt thought he was an ignorant child and spoke recklessly.

He really didn't understand at that time, but he remembered the words his aunt said deeply, because those were his aunt's last words before she died.

It was not until he fell in love with a girl that he understood the true meaning of his aunt's words and the suffering of his stepmother.

He once felt some sympathy for his stepmother, but he never expected that she would inflict the pain on him.

Since he couldn't resist, he could only calmly accept his stepmother's arrangement and marry the Xiao family's eldest daughter. Although she was very beautiful, he couldn't fall in love with her.

He still didn't fall in love with her after two years of marriage. When his stepmother Cui and her family gave birth to a child, he really didn't want to have one because he really couldn't fall in love with someone else.

But his stepmother mocked him for being stupid and stubborn. He looked at his superior stepmother in confusion.

But when he saw the lotus picker with a big belly beside her, his first reaction was just happiness.

His beloved girl actually entered the Fan Mansion, and he would be willing to do so as long as he could see her become a father.

Just at that moment, his respected eldest brother came in, and Caihenu called him husband in a tender voice.

The two of them were being very affectionate in front of him, and they didn't look at all embarrassed as if they were crying their hearts out in the snow.

The lotus picker whom he had always regarded as his salvation told him proudly that she had known for a long time that he was the son of a wealthy family.

The housekeeper of the Fan family went to her house to cancel the engagement. She cried and begged him to take her away. She was willing to be his concubine, but he was unwilling at that time.

He didn't want his beloved girl to suffer any injustice. It was so free for her to pick lotus in the Lotus Village. Why should she come with him to suffer injustice?
But she secretly asked the housekeeper to bring her to the Fan Mansion, and fell in love with the elegant eldest brother at first sight.

They were in a relationship but didn't tell him. They probably didn't tell him because they were afraid that he wouldn't be able to accept it.

He had lost his appetite for the past two years because of her, and kept himself busy on purpose to avoid his new wife.

But she and her elder brother have already had a baby!
That would have been fine, but what made him most angry was that she had called him a useless person in front of him, not even half as good as her elder brother.

Where is he useless?
Since returning to the Fan Mansion, he has worked hard in business, earning money to support the expenses of the mansion.

He went from being a noble young man in the capital to a sinister and cunning businessman. His stepmother had lived a luxurious life since she was a child, and his eldest brother also needed money to manage the officialdom.

The Fan family is a large family, and they also have to take care of the weddings and funerals of their side branches, each of which requires money.

Although he did not fall in love with his new wife, he knew that he could not let her suffer any injustice. The premise of not letting her suffer any injustice was that he could be useful to the Fan family.

He was a bastard's son. Because his father died early, he never took the imperial examinations, had no official position, and stayed in the countryside all year round.

In fact, when he returned to the Fan family, he didn't know what to do next, but he only knew that he needed money to prevent his wife from being bullied.

He wanted to build good relationships with those merchants and make a lot of money, and he couldn't let his stepmother look down on him.

But even though he earned a lot of money, he was still looked down upon by his beloved girl and became a laughing stock of the entire Fan family.

The beloved girl took advantage of her elder brother's favor and showed off in front of him, saying that he was not even worthy of carrying her elder brother's shoes...

He felt a headache after hearing that. Looking at the affectionate couple, he didn't know whether to be sad or happy.

If it weren't for the money he earned to donate to his elder brother, who was praised by the emperor himself, how could he have shined at the palace banquet?

Let the emperor praise him for inheriting the Fan family's character, and let him stand out among the nobles and become a leader.

What he didn't expect was that his elder brother knew that he liked Cai He Nv, but still took her as a concubine.

Caihe girl kept saying that she liked him, but she turned around and threw herself into the arms of her eldest brother!
I don’t know if it was because he was too angry, but he went back to his yard and consummated his marriage with his wife.

His wife was extremely beautiful, and the reason why he was reluctant to consummate the marriage was that he already had someone in his heart, and also because he was afraid of desecrating her.

Unexpectedly, she was willing to consummate the marriage, and after they became husband and wife, his heart gradually shifted to her.

Although the couple could not be said to be in love, they lived in harmony. The wife fed her son and was filial to his stepmother.

He originally felt that his status as a bastard was not high, so he wanted to become an imperial merchant and a famous wealthy businessman so that he could provide support for his wife and children.

It is said that the current Lu family was the vanguard of Emperor Taizu when he was conquering the world, and was also his purse.

Every member of the Lu family was good at making money. After more than two hundred years of changes, the descendants of the Lu family finally embarked on an official career, and a descendant of the Lu family became the Marquis of Zhennan.

They had two children in three years, both of them were sons. He originally wanted to unite the entire family, but his stepmother and eldest brother wanted to devour him.

They suppressed him everywhere and bullied his wife and children behind his back. Especially his stepmother, who was mentally abnormal. Sometimes she treated his wife like her own daughter and sometimes she wished she was dead.

With such a stepmother, how could he dare to devote himself to business? However, his elder brother took the opportunity to take over his shop.

He was bought a sinecure in the Ministry of Revenue, and he used his own money to buy it. His daily attendance at court was like going to the grave. He was a completely invisible person.

One advantage of having an idle job is that he has plenty of time. When he is off duty, he goes home to educate his two sons.

The family lived on thin ice. He didn't dare to show that he loved his wife, for fear that his stepmother would be perverted and break them up again.

Their eldest son was very ambitious and was able to pass the imperial examination at the age of eleven, but the emperor always taught his son to hide his shortcomings.

The two sons are one and a half years apart in age. The younger son does not like studying but likes doing business very much, but he has no chance to try.

When the eldest son was sixteen, he won the top three prizes in the imperial examination. This was a good thing for his son, but his stepmother and eldest brother were not happy.

During the autumn examination of the following year, his eldest brother made some arrangements to cause his eldest son to fail.

His wife didn't know why, and she wept when she saw him fail the exam. His son knelt in front of her and said nothing, just looking at him with a wronged face. He also wanted to ask his eldest brother for clarification, but he knew that the eldest nephew of the first wife was very good, and his stepmother and eldest brother didn't want the son of the second wife's illegitimate son to surpass him.

When I received the news that my eldest son had an accident while boating in the lake, he fell into the lake and almost drowned.

He taught his two sons to swim when they were young, so how could they almost drown?
After hearing his doubts, his wife took out a cotton jacket and cotton pants. Those were the cotton jackets that his stepmother gave to his eldest son.

He opened it and saw that the cotton inside was specially supplied long-staple cotton with excellent water absorbency.

It sank and swelled when it came into contact with water, which affected the performance of the eldest son and caused him to almost drown in the water.

He was so angry that he smashed the cup in his hand, thinking back to the ferocious look on his stepmother's face when she looked at him.

Suddenly he felt that fame and status were not important anymore, all he wanted was for his wife and children to be alive.

So he told everything to his wife and children, hoping that his wife would feel more at ease. However, his wife was like a frightened bird, and was worried all day long.

His two sons were also very depressed, and his daughter was brought up to be arrogant and domineering by her stepmother. He felt very aggrieved, but there was nothing he could do!
I held this anger for many years, but my wife suddenly said that she wanted to take my father and me away from the Fan family and move to the Xiao family.

My eldest brother looked at me flatteringly, but I lowered my head and ignored him. It was really good to be away from the Fan family.

If he earns money to support his family with his own ability, without the constraints of his stepmother, his wife and children will live much more freely.

Wen Qingwan sent Xiao Jin back to the yard to sleep, while she stayed in Zither Garden to chat with her aunt and her family.

While eating, she would use a mind-reading talisman to explore what kind of person her uncle was. If he was not the kind of person who would cause trouble, she would arrange for them to go to the farm to farm.

But who knew that he was a genius in business, but was always suppressed by his stepmother and brother. No wonder I had never heard of any ability of the second uncle of the Fan family in my previous life.

She really needs someone who knows how to do business!

Especially since the eldest cousin of the Fan family can read, haha, he’s going to make a fortune!

She smiled very gently, "Uncle, aunt, you two cousins ​​can live in our mansion with peace of mind. We have many courtyards in our mansion."

"Cousin, do you really not mind us living here and eating white meals?" Fan Wenjie asked anxiously.

Before Wen Qingwan could say anything, Xiao Libo smiled and said, "Second cousin, you are overthinking. We don't keep idle people in our house."

"Ah! Second cousin, please speak clearly." Fan Wenjie looked at his high-spirited second cousin and asked curiously.

He also heard that the second son of the Weiwu Marquisate had opened a pig farm on a farm outside the city, but he didn't look like a pig farmer at all.

“Every one of us has to work. Your second cousin doesn’t have any skills, but my eldest sister-in-law told me that I could learn to raise pigs.

Hehe, our eldest sister-in-law is very powerful. Your second cousin is very impressive now. Many of the pork in the mansions in Shangjing City is raised by me. "

As soon as Xiao Libo finished speaking, the whole audience burst into laughter. The Xiao brothers and sisters laughed without any image, but it was not a mockery.

Even Wen Qingwan was laughing so hard that her body shook, "Second brother, is there anyone who praises himself like you?"

"My sister-in-law is very powerful. What I said is the truth. Huan'er, is what your husband said true?" Xiao Libo put on an exaggerated expression.

"Haha...it's indeed the truth. I can testify to it." Fan Shiba said with a happy smile.

"Madam Hou...uh, niece-in-law, then what do you think we can do?" Uncle Fan asked modestly.

"Uncle, please don't believe my second brother's nonsense. At that time, our mansion was so poor that we had to eat plain porridge every day. I wanted my younger brother and sister to help.

Starting from food, we can be self-reliant, and we can choose what we like to do. "Wen Qingwan said modestly.

"What my niece-in-law said is absolutely right. This way they all have something to do and everyone can have enough food. If everyone stays at home, things will get worse more easily. It's good for them to have something to do."

Uncle Fan really believed what Wen Qingwan said. He had already experienced how uncomfortable it was to be stuck at home.

Wen Qingwan looked at her uncle and thought she was going to persuade him earnestly!

At this moment, she looked at Uncle Fan and seemed to see the resolute self she was back then.

She still admired him very much. After all, he had not been driven crazy by the old lady of the Fan family in more than 30 years.

"Uncle, I heard that you lived by the lake in Jiangnan. Can you build a boat?" Wen Qingwan suddenly asked.

"Shipbuilding? I studied it for a while. Does my niece-in-law need someone in this field?"

"Well, I'll tell you more tomorrow. I have a group of subordinates who travel back and forth, selling local specialties to other places.

Then I bought goods from the second place and sold them to the third place. Through the information gap, I made some money in the past two months."

"No, don't talk about it tomorrow. I'm very interested in reselling goods, and I know some old masters who are very good at shipbuilding.

To be honest with my niece-in-law, nephews and nieces, my eldest uncle is also a man with great ambitions. He also traveled to the Northwest with my father when he was a child.

I also thought about taking Jie'er to Mobei to see the smoke rising from the desert, and bring back precious medicinal herbs from Mobei to sell to the dignitaries in Beijing."

When Uncle Fan talked about his hobbies, he was so talkative that he completely lost all his reserve.

When his father was still alive, he often taught him that if he didn't want others to look down on him, he had to do better than others.

No one can support you.

Everyone is a mountain. No one should be defined arbitrarily, and no one should live a mediocre life.

In recent years, he has been working in a sinecure position in the Ministry of Revenue, and he has heard more and more ridicule from the outside world, which simply says that he is useless.

His two sons are already grown up and will get married and have children in the future. He should take his younger son who is interested in business with him to travel around the country.

The Xiao brothers and sisters listened to their uncle's passionate words, but they didn't feel anything.

But their sister-in-law listened with great interest, and they would not interrupt her. They all looked at their sister-in-law with an obsessed look: Sister-in-law is so beautiful.

Uncle Fan saw that everyone was fascinated and thought that everyone liked listening to it, but he didn't know what to say.

Then he heard the clear voice of his eldest niece’s wife: “If uncle likes it, just go ahead and do it.

My husband will definitely help you realize your wish. He is a man who does great things. He defends the country, and I will lead everyone to make money together.

After I had a lot of money, I wanted to find some shipbuilding craftsmen to build a big ship.

We will use large ships to do business in the open sea. When the border is peaceful, my husband and I will take my brothers and sisters to see the tranquil sea.

It is said that you will see a different world on the other side of the sea and you can also earn money. "

"Sister-in-law, Huan'er and I are going to raise pigs seriously and sell the pork overseas."
