Chapter 198 I can't wait to bite off a piece of meat
It is said that due to the disaster last year, business is not going smoothly.
So in order to find a way out, he took his family to Anling in September.
But the people there were xenophobic and he couldn't find a way out. After losing a large sum of money, he moved to Lucheng.
Fortunately, Lu City relies on maritime trade and is very inclusive. After some hard work, he finally had a foothold.
However, all things are difficult at the beginning. The cost of starting over in a new place is higher than before, and sometimes you even have to go out to sea yourself.
In the future, if there is nothing important at home, he will not come back.
However, he will still give the silver that is due to the clan.
But times are a bit difficult now, and the little money I had left has been invested in goods.
I hope the clan leader will give him a two-year reprieve for the sake of his past.
Then, the silver that should have been given to the clan last year and this year was not given a penny.
I sent some dried seafood to Su Maolin and several elders of the clan!
After learning all this, Liu Quan was thinking about talking to Su Manman about this later.
I'll wait for Rongrong to come back and ask her what she thinks.
If he wanted to go to Lucheng to confirm, he would let Songmu go with him.
First, confirm whether Jinhui is still at Su Ye's house.
Secondly, with Su Rongrong and the others around, there should be escorts on the road, so safety is guaranteed and Songmu can broaden his horizons.
But now that Jinhui has returned, will he still tell us about Su Ye’s whereabouts?
Su Manman didn't know what Liu Quan was thinking. After seeing the person, she pulled Jinhui over.
"Village head, Jinhui just came back and is not feeling well. I want to take him to the county town. I wonder if your oxcart is convenient?"
Anyway, the price for hiring an ox cart in the village is the same.
On weekdays, if a group of people go together, each person can just give one penny.
If you charter a car, it will cost twenty cents for a round trip.
But the current situation is special. Everyone is busy planting and digging vegetables, and even reclaiming wasteland, so they have no time at all.
She was afraid that the village chief would not be willing to lend the ox cart.
Liu Quan, who had not figured it out yet, turned his gaze to Jinhui again after hearing Su Manman's words.
After thinking about it, I finally decided to tell the other party.
However, this was information he had finally found out, and there were many people around and Su Rongrong was not there, so he decided to go there in person.
When we get to the county town, we'll tell Jinhong first, to prevent the Su family from finding out and causing any trouble later.
Thinking of this, he replied readily, "It's convenient, but you have to wait for me to eat before leaving."
"it is good!"
Su Manman could afford to wait for a meal instead of having to walk by herself.
In Lanxia County, Su Qiaoqiao didn't know yet that her long-missed twin brother had returned.
She had already closed her stall and it was a rare occasion that she didn't go to the back hall to accompany her mother.
Looking at the unsold items at this moment, she pondered for a moment and looked at Tao Ya and Liu Miao who were also in a bad mood.
"Sister Taoya, Sister Miaomiao, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and everyone is holding on to their money tightly and is reluctant to spend it.
Instead of wasting time here, why don't we just close this business?"
Liu Miao and Tao Ya watched the business of the morning stalls with their own eyes. From not being able to sell enough food when they opened to now not being able to sell out, they felt extremely heavy.
Hearing this, the two were silent for a long time, and finally nodded slowly.
"Okay! Everyone is busy, let's go home and help!
There’s just that leftover rice and flour, and there’s no need to sell them out.
But we still make some money every day, although it’s not much, but it’s still money.
There isn't much left today, not even enough for lunch for the three of us.
I'm thinking about it, let's set up the stall for three more days and then close it down!"
Su Qiaoqiao thought about it and nodded: "Okay! Then I'll set up the stall for another three days.
After the cellar of the new house is dug and I bring my mother back, I will return to the village.
My third sister's business has not been affected much, so I guess she should be very busy.
My eldest sister asked people to plant so many things, especially the watermelons, which are said to be very valuable. I have to go back and help keep an eye on them."
Her elder sister and brother Zheng are counting on the watermelon to make a lot of money this year.
Then she should take over these relatively easy tasks that require someone to keep an eye on them when everyone is busy.
This saves us from having to take care of these one by one in our busy schedule.
Although there were people sent by Wei Bo Niang to take care of it, it was her family's stuff and she would not feel at ease if she didn't look after it personally!
Tao Ya, who was standing by, was also tempted when she heard the word "watermelon".
Thinking of the watermelon purchase price that Su Rongrong had mentioned before, she decided to go back to Sujia Village after closing the stall.
When the time comes, I will first see how the watermelon harvest goes, and then think about whether I can plant two seasons.
If she could grow two crops, her family could make more money.
By then, even in a disaster year like drought, if we have more money, I think life at home will be better.
*
Perhaps it was a big thing that had been on their minds, so after discussing it, the three of them started cooking.
The three of them were having dinner when Su Manman and Su Jinhui came over in a ox cart.
Tao Ya saw someone with her sharp eyes and stood up immediately.
"Jinhui?"
Upon hearing this, the other two immediately looked up and followed her gaze.
When they saw Jinhui, a thin and small figure, being held by Su Manman, they couldn't help but get excited.
Especially Su Qiaoqiao, she immediately threw away her chopsticks, rushed forward quickly, opened her arms and hugged the person.
"Jinhui, Fourth Sister misses you so much——"
As the little girl spoke, she couldn't help but redden her eyes.
Soon, before Su Jinhui could react, she let him go and looked him up and down carefully.
When she saw people who were shorter and skinnier than her, she couldn't help crying.
“Everyone said you were living a good life, how did it become like this?
"I can't stand with Su Ye, that thief!"
At this moment, Su Qiaoqiao's hatred for Su Ye reached its peak.
If Su Ye was here, even though she was still young and most likely would not be able to defeat him, she would still step forward and bite off a piece of that man's flesh!
Su Manman did not interrupt Qiaoqiao and Jinhui's reminiscing. She glanced at the things on the table and then said to Liu Miao:
"Sister Miaomiao, where is my elder brother? Also, your father helped send Jinhui and I here.
This will make him still outside, maybe he has something to say to you!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Miao quickly replied, "Jinhong is in the new house he bought."
After saying this, he lowered his head, finished the noodles in the bowl in three or two bites, and left in a hurry.
Liu Quan also wanted to hurry back to work in the fields.
So we didn't go in, and the ox cart was parked at the gate.
When he saw his daughter rushing out and almost tripping, he said quickly:
"Girl, how many times have I told you to look at the road when you walk, so as not to fall down when you look back.
Dad is here and he won't run away, why are you in such a hurry? "
