Rebirth of the poor elder sister-in-law

Chapter 78 Selling Peanuts ([-])
Liu Man'er and others followed the steward to an alley and stopped. Looking at the alley, it didn't look like a place where rich people lived. Liu Man'er looked at it and knew that it must be the back door of a wealthy family.

The steward didn't say a word, just said that he wanted to get something for the people inside to taste, and then let them wait here. Liu Man'er generously agreed, and took his own tray to let the steward take a lot of food, and the other people also followed suit. Gave some to this steward.

However, they all seem to know the steward. Seeing that the steward looks rather flattering, even a little servile, Liu Man'er can't act like this. It's okay to have a smiling face, but she can't do it, and there's no need for her to be servile to others.

After the steward entered, Liu Man'er and the others began to wait. Liu Man'er was already prepared to wait for a long time. After all, the courtyard is deep. If the steward wanted to show it to his master, then she I don't know how long I have to wait.

But with Ye Yuan by her side, she is not bored.

Although Ye Yuan wouldn't take the initiative to say anything, but whenever Liu Man'er asked him anything, he would still answer, and he would respond to Liu Man'er's words.

These people were all looking forward to the situation inside the door, but Liu Man'er pulled Ye Yuan and squatted down under the opposite eaves.

Although this was quite unsightly, Liu Man'er didn't care so much, and she felt a little tired when she stood up.

Ye Yuan paid attention to his image outside, Liu Man'er called him several times and pulled his clothes, he looked around and saw that everyone else was squatting, so he squatted down.

"Aren't you tired from standing? How comfortable it is to squat." Liu Man'er gave him a blank look, "No one here will know you, don't pay attention to those images."

Ye Yuan had already squatted down, but after hearing Liu Man'er's words, he stood up again, "A gentleman must be cautious of his own, I'd better continue standing, I'm used to standing."

Seeing him like this, Liu Man'er also stood up, "I really can't help you, I'm tired from standing, and you have to rub my legs when I get home."

Ye Yuan knew that she was accommodating him, so he couldn't help but smile in his heart, and nodded slightly, "Okay."

Liu Man'er stood with Ye Yuan. Seeing that there were many people here, Ye Yuan just kept his face straight and didn't talk to Liu Man'er much. Liu Man'er knew that he was such a person, so she didn't force him anymore, but she said it from time to time. He raised his eyes and looked inside the door.

"Don't worry." Seeing her like this, Ye Yuan said, "I guess he won't be able to get out in a while."

"I know, but you don't talk to me, what do you want me to do." Liu Man'er curled her lips and said, "I'm so bored."

"Eat two peanuts if you're bored." Ye Yuan took the initiative to sit down on a nearby stone pier this time. He peeled the peanuts slowly, and Liu Man'er sat beside him. He peeled her and ate. In such silence, every minute and every second passed.

After a while, the manager came out from the back door, and all the sellers surrounded him. Liu Man'er heard the manager call, "Hey, the peanut seller is here." She just finished eating the peanuts in her mouth. Went to the door.

"Your peanuts are good, we bought them." The shopkeeper asked Ye Yuan and Liu Man'er to come over, and he took them, and some other selected people, to the yard together.

Sure enough, this was just a backyard, and some women and maids were busy shuttling around inside. The manager brought Liu Man'er and others to a food warehouse, and then took out the scale and began to weigh their things.

Liu Man'er's basket of peanuts weighed twenty catties in total, and she got a tael of silver. After receiving the money, Liu Man'er was about to leave with Ye Yuan. Anyway, seeing the superior demeanor of the purchasing manager, she felt that she wanted to get along with him. Getting online is also a bit difficult.

After all, even giving money to her looks like sending off a beggar. She looked a little panicked, but she still endured it for the sake of money. Sometimes people live for various reasons. And compromise, he looks at people like this, he is rude, Liu Man'er is not as knowledgeable as him.

Just as they turned to leave, this person stopped them, "Wait a minute, register."

"Register what?" Liu Man'er asked in confusion.

"Your name, where you live, what you sold in our house, and how much you paid for it all need to be clearly written." The steward explained to Liu Man'er a little impatiently.

Liu Man'er didn't want to write it at first, but after thinking about it, she went to the stage and wrote Ye Yuan's name and address.

"You wrote our address for another purpose, right?" After finishing writing, Liu Man'er asked one more question.

"You think too much. These are just our own accounts. The reason why we wrote down your address is because your things are not bad. Maybe we will buy your things next time. "The steward saw that Liu Man'er, a village woman, could write, and her writing wasn't bad, so he gave her a high-level look, and his tone of voice became better.

"I see, thank you for the steward." Liu Man'er nodded, put down the brush, and then walked outside with Ye Yuan.

The things are sold out, so it's time to take a stroll in the county. Although she doesn't plan to buy a horse, Liu Man'er decided to go to the horse market and ask about the price. It's just like what Ye Yuan said. All the horses cost more than 20 taels of silver each, and only some foals were cheaper, but the price was more than 15 taels of silver.

"It's a bit expensive, next time, next time when our house is built, we'll buy a horse, and then we'll buy a car to put it on, so we can be regarded as a family with a house and a car." Liu Man'er held Ye Yuan's arm. arm, said with a grin.

Seeing that there were many people around, Ye Yuan calmly took her arm out of his, and replied, "Yes."

"Wait, next year, next year at the latest, I will definitely buy you a horse." Liu Man'er said, "When you buy a horse, you have to take me around twice, like this, I'm not even allowed to hold your arm What happened can never happen again.”

"That depends on the situation."

"I know, it depends on who is there." Liu Man'er curled her lips, "Is it embarrassing for me to hold your arm?"

"No, it's just that others will gossip about you behind your back." Ye Yuan replied.

"Gossip about me?"

Liu Man'er couldn't understand this, but then she thought about it, and then she stopped. It seemed that it was true. No matter in the previous life or the present life, even if they were separated by different time and space, human beings always like to blame some sins on women. body.

"What do they say about me? That I'm not decent in broad daylight?" Liu Man'er snorted coldly, "They're all prudish people."

"Well, you're right, in fact, I'm also a prudish person." Ye Yuan nodded and admitted: "But living in this world, we have so many things to worry about, I'm fine , It’s just that your ears are so sensitive, you can definitely hear what others say about you clearly.”

"Uh..." It seems to be true, but Liu Man'er never listened to such nonsense before, but now that Ye Yuan said this, she paid attention to other people's whispers.

It happened that a stall owner said to her and Ye Yuan, "If you can't afford it, what are you asking?"

"It's all your fault. I heard a stall owner scolding us just now, saying that we shouldn't ask the price if we can't afford it." Liu Man'er complained to Ye Yuan.

"Don't pay attention to him." Ye Yuan comforted Liu Man'er, but he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He really couldn't afford it. He suddenly felt that he was a bit useless. After all, Liu Man'er was in charge of everything in the family.

"Well, I won't listen anymore." Liu Man'er shifted her attention and looked at other things for sale around. This is the horse market, which sells livestock, and there is nothing interesting about it, so she dragged Ye Yuan towards him. Went to another street.

There is a street dedicated to buying jewelry, ready-to-wear fabrics, rouge and gouache, etc. Because some shops have cooperated with Liu Man'er in the past, so when Liu Man'er went in, some of the shopkeepers still knew her.

After seeing her, she even greeted her with some surprises, "Boss Ye and Ms. Liu, you two haven't been here for a long time. The goods in our store have long been sold out. Ask someone else to make it, and you can't act like that." Come."

"Oh, is that so?" Liu Man'er said to the shopkeeper, "We're not here to deliver goods today, I'm just here for shopping, since last time you said that there are too many imitations and it's hard to sell, I haven't done it. "

"Ah, I was just complaining casually at the time, and many maids still ask about it now." The shopkeeper said, "That was indeed the case at the time, but later everyone thought your goods were better. Now you go and see, the street Many people regard hanging the sachets sold by our family as a beauty."

"Haha." Liu Man'er laughed. She didn't think of this, so she said to the shopkeeper, "We've been busy with the farm work these days, and it's slack time, so we'll do it later."

"Okay, remember to leave some for us when the goods are available." The shopkeeper said with some expectation.

"Of course, as long as the shopkeeper doesn't dislike it." Liu Man'er smiled, and walked around the shop. She wanted to buy a lot of beautiful jewelry, but when she thought of houses and horses, she held back her hands. impulse.

It's better to save the money, if she is ridiculed for having no money, she will be ashamed.

Then Liu Man'er went to several other shops, mainly to ask about the sales volume of her sachet. She thought that if she could, she would open it again.

At first, she thought it was tiring to make a sachet, but after doing it once, she immediately felt that painting flowers was really an easy thing to do.

And when the time comes, she will need money to build a house, and she will also need money to buy horses. Suddenly, the financial pressure will increase, and she still needs to work harder.

Now that the busy farming season is over and the peanuts are sold, she seems to be free again except for house work. In this case, it is not a bad idea to reopen her workshop, besides, the patterns of Ye He are almost done now. It's okay to help her, so she won't be too tired.

But should someone be hired to help her take care of the livestock in the house?After all, it takes time to feed these chickens, ducks, rabbits, etc., and people need to do things like sweeping and washing clothes in the house. Liu Man'er doesn't want to do it herself, and she doesn't want Fang and Ye He to do it, so I thought about it , she decided to go to the toothmaid to have a look and buy a little girl back.
