Chapter 619 Do a Good Deed

Alin nodded, and had no choice but to go out again to persuade those people to leave. He had to come several times a day, and he had practiced it.

Zhao said, "I will also go to the temple to donate 100 taels of silver some other day, which can be regarded as a good deed. I will pray for Lin Chen and hope that he will come back safely."

Chen Jiaoniang smiled, "Auntie has a heart."

Zhao's shares in Xunxianglai accounted for one-tenth of the shares, and they were able to share one-tenth of the dividend every month, which was almost 300 taels of silver. The business was particularly good in the winter months, and they could get almost 500 taels of silver in January. , so the Zhao family also has a family background now.

But 100 taels is not a small amount, and Chen Jiaoniang was indescribably moved.

Mrs. Zhao sighed, "Every time I see those beggars on the street, I always think of Tianheng and Qiugui, mothers always have more thoughts, things are impermanent, and I don't know how peaceful we can be here How long, maybe one day Xiu'an Town will fall, if one day Qiugui and Tianheng also become beggars, I only hope that there are also kind people who can help them."

Chen Jiaoniang patted Zhao's hand and said, "Auntie is too worried, Xiu'an Town is still so far away from the border, and the Liang people are already retreating steadily, so they won't come to Xiu'an Town .”

"I'm just talking casually. No one wants their hometown to fight. These people are really pitiful." Zhao wiped her tears, "There are still some Chinese cabbage in the field, which is not suitable for making braised meat. Let our family eat it." I can't finish it, and tomorrow I will ask your second uncle to take it to the temple."

Chen Jiaoniang smiled and nodded, "Yes."

The business of Xiangze Garden has been booming these days, and the business of Xunxianglai is naturally a little worse than usual. On the second day, Mrs. Zhao was lazy and didn't go to the shop, but went to the field with a basket on his back and Chen Ershi to chop cabbage. .

Aunt Wu's house is next to Zhao's, and she asked with a smile, "Mother Tianheng, the cabbage in your house has been kept for so long and looks so beautiful, are you going to sell it in the town?"

Mrs. Zhao said while chopping cabbage, "Every household has this stuff, and it's not easy to sell. How much money is it worth?"

Before she could finish her sentence, Mrs. Zhu happened to pass by and interjected, "Mr. Zhao, since you don't sell this cabbage, get it back for me and feed it to the pigs."

For the country people, Chinese cabbage is not a rare thing. If you cut a tree back, you can eat it for a day or two, and there are not many people who can eat it. Therefore, after the new year, many people chop the Chinese cabbage in the field and take it home. Feed the pigs, otherwise they will be soaked by the rain if they stay in the field.

It is a good thing to feed pigs, much better than the hogweeds that go to the fields to cut. Zhu's own family doesn't have much, so when he heard that Zhao's family didn't want cabbage, he was so happy.

Zhao said, "It's not going to work. Although I won't sell it, it's still useful."

Mrs. Zhu was not happy, and snorted, "Look at your stinginess, the house is up, how can you still be short of such a little thing? If you don't want to give it to me for nothing, then I'll give it to you, right? How about I give you ten pennies for a small field of cabbage?"

Before Mrs. Zhao could speak, Aunt Wu couldn't listen anymore, "Mr. Zhu, you are so kind. There are so many cabbages, at least a hundred catties. No matter how cheap the cabbage is, it costs a penny a catty, right? You want to buy them all back for ten pennies?"

Mrs. Zhu said disapprovingly, "Anyway, she doesn't want it. How much money do you expect from me for feeding pigs?"
