Abandoned Daughter's Beautiful Pastoral

Chapter 45 Make trouble
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiaocao was very excited, and felt that it was time to tell grandma about her plans.

"grandmother!"

Grandma Zhang was also very excited when she saw so much money at once. When she saw her granddaughter calling her, she suddenly came to her senses, but seeing her granddaughter's serious expression, she thought something happened, and hurriedly said, "What's wrong? Did something happen?" What's the matter?"

Seeing that grandma misunderstood, Zhang Xiaocao quickly smiled and said, "It's nothing, I just want to discuss something with grandma!"

When Grandma Zhang heard this, she took a look at her, which really frightened her old lady.

"Speak, grandma, listen!"

Zhang Xiaocao's expression became serious again, and she said, "Grandma, I want to buy some land and plant cotton in the next spring!"

Of course it is easier to make money by doing business, but she is still young, an ordinary village girl without a backer, in this feudal society with distinct classes, it would be a crime to stand out too much!
Grandma Zhang was not surprised. She had already guessed something before. She thought her granddaughter was just a whim, but she didn't think she was serious.

"Xiaocao, have you thought about it? It's not that grandma doesn't support you, but this cotton is too difficult to grow. If you don't manage it well, you will lose everything! Let's just do a small business and live a good life, okay?"

Zhang Xiaocao knew that grandma didn't understand for a while, so it was good if she didn't stop her.

"Grandma, I decided to do this with confidence, not only to make money, but also to prevent more people from getting sick from the cold!"

The reason behind may be very bachelor and hypocritical, but Zhang Xiaocao thinks so!
The scarcity of cotton has directly caused many poor people to wear warm cotton-padded clothes, and can only use quilts stuffed with straw. She received the memory of the original owner and also experienced the cruel winter. The coldness from the bones made her I don't want to recall it anymore.

Grandma Zhang didn't expect her granddaughter to have such an idea. She was surprised but also very relieved. The granddaughter is a pure and good person. Since she is sure, so what if she believes it again?
All the money was earned by her. If she disagreed, it would hurt her granddaughter's heart!
"Just do what you want, grandma has no objection!"

Zhang Xiaocao threw herself into grandma's arms happily. She was very glad that God really treated her kindly. She stayed away from her parents and relatives, but still gave her rare warmth.

With a goal, the grandparents and grandson want to earn more money, and go to the town to sell glutinous rice cakes every day, rain or shine.

Because the New Year's Eve is approaching, there are more people coming and going in the town, and the business of Nuomi Ci is very good, and the customers who can't buy it every day are complaining. I can make more of them, but because of the shortage of manpower, I can only make a maximum of [-] per day.

Rao is so, the supply is in short supply, and it will be sold out soon!

It's just that I don't know where those people got the news. They actually knew that the old lady of Lin's mansion had specially invited them to make glutinous rice cakes for her birthday a few days ago. Therefore, some restaurants and food shops actually paid attention to them, hoping that they can Transfer the recipe out.

For these people, Zhang Xiaocao politely refuses all of them, and she plans to open a shop or something in the future, specializing in some food that is not available in this era!
The others were fine, they didn't force them when they saw that they didn't sell it, but the shopkeeper of the famous restaurant in the town - Fuguilou was extremely domineering. He came here several times and bumped into a wall every time, but he still didn't give up.

The shopkeeper of Fugui Restaurant is surnamed Kong, about forty years old, of medium build, and looks kind, but his eyes reveal a hint of sinisterness.

"I can buy your prescription because I think highly of you. You don't want to toast or eat fine wine. Believe it or not, as long as I say a word, you don't want to hang around in Shuanghe Town!"

Zhang Xiaocao was not frightened by his threats, and said helplessly: "We didn't sell someone who offered 40 taels of silver before, but you only offered ten taels. How can we accept it? It's the same sentence, if you are willing to offer 80 taels Two silver coins, this prescription, I offer it with both hands!"

Hearing the words, shopkeeper Kong gave her a stern look, calculations flashed in his eyes, and he left without returning even with anyone, hum, 80 taels of silver, a good idea, there is always a way for you to hand over the prescription for nothing !
In a blink of an eye, half a month has passed, and now it is the fifteenth day of the twelfth lunar month, and it is only half a month before the New Year, because 40 glutinous rice cakes have been added, and in just half a month, nearly [-] taels of silver have been earned, Zhang Xiaocao discussed with grandma Finally, it was decided that the glutinous rice cakes would not be sold until the twelfth day of the twelfth lunar month, and that they should take a good rest and do the New Year's goods. In the past half month, the two of them got up early and worked late at night, and they were already exhausted!

However, before the [-]th day of the twelfth lunar month, something happened.

In front of Zhangjia Nuomici’s booth, the inner three floors and the outer three floors were full of people. From time to time, men’s roars and women’s shrill curses could be heard from inside, and there were discussions among the spectators from time to time. But no one stepped forward to dissuade him.

Zhang Xiaocao stood in front of the stove, looked coldly at the three men and one woman in front of her, pointed to the blue-colored boy on the ground, who was about seven or eight years old, and said sharply: "You said that your son just ate my glutinous rice cakes. If you are unconscious, then why are everyone else doing well? We are in a small business just to make money and support our family, and I have no grievances with you, so how could I murder a child?"

Grandma Zhang also anxiously explained: "We won't do such outrageous things, you must have made a mistake, you first..."

"Wrong? I'm yuck!"

Before Grandma Zhang finished speaking, the woman who had been cursing behind rushed forward, spat on Grandma Zhang's face, pointed at Grandma Zhang's nose and cursed: "My son is like this because he ate your glutinous rice cakes. , who knows if it's you black-hearted people who added bad things to this ghost thing, I just have pity on my son, who was killed by you like this!"

The woman sat down on the ground while she was talking, and cried bitterly on the child's thin body, crying, "My poor child, our family is poor, and we can't let you live a good life. It's hard to eat back. Yes, but I was poisoned by that pig and dog, which made my son look like this, you go, let mother live, my poor son!"

The man who had just roared squatted down with a painful expression at this time, put his arm around the woman's shoulder, touched the child's face with the other and said, "Mother, don't do this. If there is something wrong with you, what do you ask me to do? You Don't worry, I will never let the person who killed our child be spared!"

After finishing speaking, they actually cried bitterly together.

The mournful cries of the couple made the hearts of the people present very sad. Whose family has no children, and seeing the child lying on the ground without making a sound, those who thought it was a misunderstanding felt that there was something wrong with Zhang's glutinous rice cakes, which were delicious The people who passed by were terrified, afraid that they would be poisoned too, and the way they looked at Zhang's grandparents changed.

Seeing this, the other two men looked at each other, and while wiping their eyes with their sleeves, they told the onlookers the viciousness of the grandparents of the Zhang family. Seeing those people looking at them sympathetically, they performed harder!
