Peasant Girl Bookseller

Chapter 51 Fertilizer water does not flow outsiders field

Mai Xiang didn't know that there was a woman behind her. She did two business transactions at the wishing pool, then hurried out of the temple gate, found Mai Huang, and sold two baskets of grass, and then took Mai Huang Pack up the stall and go home.

Originally, Mai Xiang wanted to buy a piece of floral cloth to make a new suit, but Mrs Yu refused to leave, and Mai Xiang didn't want to show her wealth in front of Mrs Yu, for fear that Mrs Yu would be even more unwilling to leave after knowing that Mai Xiang was rich.

Mai Xiang and Mai Huang returned home, but they didn't see a woman following them far behind. The woman turned around and went back after watching Mai Xiang enter the courtyard gate.

"Big Ya, how much did you sell the kite for?" Seeing Mai Xiang returning home empty-handed, Yu asked hurriedly.

Because this is the first time Mrs. Yu has seen Mai Xiang selling kites, and Ye Dafu is not very skilled in making kites. In addition, he is not yet able to go to the ground, and he has to wait for Wufu to provide all the materials needed, so these geniuses made kites. Two kites came out.

Ever since Yu knew that Mai Xiang could sell a kite for a tael of silver, she had been itching to urge Ye Dafu to make the kite. She wanted to see with her own eyes what was different about this kite, but it actually sold for a tael of silver!
"Grandma, this kite is different from the kite, and the person who buys the kite is also different. If she is happy, she may give more, and if she is not happy, she may give less."

"Why don't you just say how much you sell?" Yu asked impatiently.

"They just gave some broken silver, how do I know how much there is?"

"Let me see?" Mrs. Yu did not give up.

Mai Xiang took out a small piece of silver, which was the six-dollar piece of silver.

Mrs. Yu took the silver and looked at it. Ordinary rural families rarely have the opportunity to use the silver. Mrs. Yu was not sure how much the silver was, but it was Ye Dafu who weighed it in his hand and said it was five or six coins.

"I see that it's not difficult to make a kite, Young Master Ye, why don't I call your brother-in-law and your elder brother over, and you teach them so that they can make money?" Yu saw Ye Dafu lying on the kang for a few days He could earn a few coins, so he moved his mind.

Seeing that Ye Dafu was silent, Mrs. Zhao hurriedly said: "The child's father, my elder sister and elder brother's life is really difficult, so you can help them."

"I can't make up my mind about this. I'd better wait for Mr. Cao to come and discuss it with him. After all, I also learned the craft from him." Ye Dafu said after pondering.

"That's easy to say, why don't I call him here now." After staying for a few days, Mrs. Yu knew that Mrs. Cao was the doctor next door who treated Ye Dafu and Mrs. Zhao.

"Grandma, you are too impatient, sir is very busy, it will not be too late when he comes to see your parents."

As soon as Mai Xiang finished speaking, she heard voices talking in the yard, and quickly lifted the curtain to see that it was Mai Xiang's aunt Fang who came with her daughter Qiaohong, holding a package in her hand.

"Hey, isn't this my in-laws sister-in-law? Why do you have time to visit today?" Mrs. Qian was coming out of the kitchen. When she saw Mrs. Fang, she glanced at Mrs. Fang's baggage and said hello with a smile.

"It's not that my mother said that she would help my sister-in-law with housework here, so that the little ones in the family would not be able to do anything. I thought she didn't bring any change of clothes, so I gave them away. Come here." Fang said with a smile.

As soon as Qian heard it, she knew that Fang was mocking her for grabbing eggs, so she walked away awkwardly and went into the upper room.

Only then did Fang follow Mai Xiang into the house. Yu had heard Fang's words in the room, and knew that Fang wanted to push her to be raised here for a while.

Mrs. Yu is not stupid. After living here for a few days, she obviously feels that the life of her daughter's family is better than that of her son's. Mai Xiang seems to have a way to make money. It is much easier to earn money than others. She really wants to stay and watch See how Mai Xiang makes money.

So when she saw Fang enter the door, she smiled and said: "It just so happens that you are here, and I was planning to go home and tell you about it. Your brother-in-law is selling kites these days, and I want Da Jiang to come and learn with your eldest brother-in-law. Anyway, it can also supplement the family."

When Fang heard this, his face was full of smiles, and he said: "It's a good feeling. Our family is sixteen, and I'm worried that I don't have money to marry."

After hearing this, Mai Xiang said to Ye Dafu: "Father, why don't you teach Uncle Wu, and let Uncle Wu earn some money to support the family."

Mai Xiang thinks that Wu Fu is a good person. After the separation, he never forgets to fill up the water tank for Mai Xiang every day, prepare the firewood for the day, and clean up the clean buckets and goose nests. Well, he is really helping Ye Dafu's family, unlike Erfu and Sanfu who just moved their mouths.

When Yu and Fang heard that Mai Xiang was going to bring in the Ye family to make kites, they were a little reluctant.Fang Shi didn't care that the purpose of coming this time was to see how Mai Xiang earned money to support the family, so she hurriedly pulled her daughter and walked back, and Yu Shi also went to inform her eldest son-in-law.

Because kite flying is only suitable for these two months in spring, so if you want to make money, you can only learn the craft as soon as possible, and use the night time to light up a few lamps to sell, without delaying the work in the field.

Zhao Yuanjiang and Dachun's husband, Yang Dalin, came in almost at the same time. This incident attracted the attention of several women in the Liu family. The Fang family hurried away as soon as they arrived, and the Zhao family hurriedly came with two big men. , During such a busy spring plowing season, do you still have time to visit relatives?

When Mrs. Liu was talking to Jiufeng, Mrs. Qian came in angrily, pulling Mrs. Sun.

"Mother, come and comment on this. Eldest brother knows how to make kites. Today, eldest sister took two kites and sold them for a few bucks. Seeing her jealousy, her aunt asked elder brother to teach the Zhao family how to make kites. We Brother is not ashamed to speak yet, for fear of robbing the elder brother's family of wealth, the people from the Zhao family are lucky to come to the door first." Qian said first, she was also overheard at the door of Mai Xiang's house just now.

"What did you say, Dafu taught the Zhao family how to make kites?" Liu didn't seem to understand.

"Mother, as the saying goes, the fat and water don't flow into the fields of outsiders. If the eldest brother wants to teach, he must first understand how many of our own brothers are. The fifth brother is not married yet. Seeing the sky is busy with the affairs of the eldest brother's family, don't say anything. For those who have worked hard, if the elder brother is any good, you should also think about the fifth younger brother." Sun cleverly pushed Wu Fu out first.

When Mrs. Liu heard this, her heart was touched. These days, the family has no income. When will they be able to raise enough dowry money for Wufu's marriage?

"Mother, sit down and drink some water first, don't worry." Seeing Liu's dizziness, Jiufeng hurriedly supported her.

"Leave me alone, go and call the big girl here." Liu Shi originally wanted to ask Ye Dafu for clarification, but when she thought that Mai Xiang's uncle and uncle were with other men, Liu couldn't bear to make a fuss. Due to his temperament, he has hardly quarreled with others in these years, let alone spoiled.

"What do you want from me?" Mai Xiang just opened the door curtain and came in.

"Big girl, you came just in time. Your parents are confused. You can't be confused. Go and persuade your father. From now on, your father will rely on this craft to eat. How can you teach outsiders? How big is the Reclining Buddha Temple and Changning Town? How many kites can you sell in this place?"

Mrs. Liu held Mai Xiang's hand, trembling. Firstly, she was short of breath, and secondly, she had worked hard these days after the separation, and her diet and nutrition could not keep up, so she also lost her health.

Mai Xiang grabbed Liu Shi's hand and said, "Nurse, don't worry, listen to me, although my father pointed at this to eat, but making kites is a skill, and selling kites is also a skill. I I came here to ask where Uncle Wu is, why don't I find Uncle Wu and others, and let my father teach him together so that I can earn some money to supplement it."

Before Mrs. Liu spoke, Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun hurriedly said after hearing this, "It just happened that your second and third uncles have also learned it. I'll call them back."

Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun left in a hurry after talking. This kite can be made by lighting a lamp at night. If you have money, you are a fool.

Seeing Mrs. Qian and Mrs. Sun leaving, Mai Xiang looked at Mrs. Liu and asked with concern, "Mama, are you tired recently? Would you like me to call Mr. Cao and show you too?"

Mai Xiang doesn't really dislike Mrs. Liu. Although the old lady prefers Jiufeng and the unmarried Wufu and Bafu, this is also normal as a mother, and it can't be said to be a serious problem.

In all fairness, the old lady still took care of Mai Xiang a little bit, and she taught Mai Xiang how to live, and the vegetables in the garden were also eaten closely by Mai Xiang.

"Forget it, I know my body, so why do I need to take medicine?" Mrs. Liu shook her head.

Mai Xiang knew that she was not willing to give up money, so after thinking about it, if he subsidized her with an egg every day and cooked it for her, it would be considered a filial piety.
