Walking into a cesspit, the best evil widow wants to stand up
Chapter 554 Li's Grocery Store 2
As expected by Shen Ping, the next day, her mother-in-law Li came over with a smile. When she saw Shen Ping, she shouted, "Second daughter-in-law, your father agreed."
She recalled what happened last night at the dinner table. As soon as she mentioned this, old man Zhang Tiezhu slammed his chopsticks on the table and scolded her before she could finish.
"Why don't you agree, old woman? This is a good thing. I'm already in my forties, and I can sleep anywhere.
Think about it, if I agree, not only will the rent be waived, but I can also earn extra money. Where can I find such a good thing? Besides, it’s not far from home, just two steps away. "
"Mom, Dad is right~" the first and third wives said in unison.
Anyway, they can earn some money from running a grocery store, and they can also earn some money from working in the workshop. It's great! Nowadays, the family is getting better and better, and they can save some money.
Seeing that everyone agreed, Li was also happy: "Okay, then I will talk to the second son's wife tomorrow, and by the way, tell her to ask their Dadong to take me to buy the goods!"
The family is planning to open a grocery store, and Dahu, Sanniu and the others are all happy about it.
Erhu swallowed his saliva and said, "Grandma, when the time comes, we will open a grocery store. Will you sell candy? If you have any, give me one."
He didn't crave anything else but candy, which was sweet. Just thinking about the candy that his second aunt-in-law used to bring him would make him drool.
"Grandma, I want one too~"
Dadong was not to be outdone.
"I want it too~"
Sanniu said timidly.
"Grandma, I want two~" Da Hu said in a rough voice.
Li frowned and said, "Eat, eat, eat. You just eat all day long. You haven't even started yet. Don't open a grocery store. By then, you will eat up all the food!"
"Okay, kids just crave this." Zhang Tiezhu was quite generous at this moment.
Shen Ping was not surprised by her mother-in-law's words. This was a two-birds-with-one-stone move. She had long guessed that Zhang Tiezhu would agree.
"Second son's wife, I want to discuss something with you." Li opened her mouth but hesitated to speak.
"Go ahead!" Shen Ping also made a rough guess. She thought that Li probably wanted to borrow a carriage from her.
Sure enough, when Li spoke, what he said was almost the same as what he had guessed.
"Second son's wife, I want to take your Dadong's car to the county town, but I don't know if it's possible." Li felt a little guilty and unsure.
She thought Shen Ping would refuse, but unexpectedly Shen Ping agreed without saying a word: "Okay, I'll ask Dadong to go to the county town tomorrow.
If you come earlier, I can just give you a ride. How about this, you go back and make a list, and then buy directly when you get there. This way you can save time and not worry about missing out on anything.”
"Okay! I'll go back right away!" This made Li very excited. The second son's wife had a lot of ideas, and it gave her a reminder.
Li was illiterate and worried that she would not be able to understand what Zhang Tiezhu wrote to her, so she simply drew everything on the back, which made Zhang Tiezhu dizzy.
Zhang Tiezhu couldn't help laughing: "Old woman, what is this you are drawing? It's a mess."
"Don't worry about it, as long as I understand it!" Li was angry.
The next morning, Li came to Shen Ping's house early to wait for Dadong.
After breakfast, Dadong took Li to the county town quickly and dropped her off on East Street. He discussed with her where to wait for him after she bought the things, and then Dadong left.
Shen Ping assigned him a task, asking him to go to the yamen to ask Magistrate Zhang if there was any news from Prefect Xu.
By the way, I'll go to Jufulou again and ask Manager Qiu if there is any letter from Shenyang.
Shen Ping did all this without telling Erya. She knew that although Erya didn't say it, she was looking forward to news from Shenyang day and night.
Seeing that she was now listless at work, Shen Ping had no choice but to worry more as a mother. She wanted to see what was going on in Shenyang.
After separating from Dadong, Li went to the grocery store with the list. Li was actually not very old, only about 60 years old, but in ancient times, this age was considered a long life.
In the past, she didn't have money, so she seldom came to the county town. It was always Zhang Tiezhu who came, but she, Zhuzi's mother, and Aunt Da Jiao had only come once or twice before.
I have the impression that Li knew where wholesale could be done, so she asked Dadong to take her there and drop her off.
Li carried a large backpack today. In addition, he also took two sacks because according to his own estimation, in addition to filling the backpack, the two sacks would also be useful.
This time she came with five taels of silver to purchase goods, not only sugar, cigarettes, alcohol, and some food, but these snacks were mainly for the workers in the factory.
There are also kitchen seasonings and so on. Thank you, there are people in the village who need it. There are also some women's dressing items, silk flowers, handkerchiefs and so on.
In addition, there are all kinds of gadgets that children like, and I bought a little bit of them. The key is that they must be durable and not easily spoiled.
These things were too miscellaneous. Just to buy these goods, Li ran around and visited several stores, compared prices, and spent almost an hour to buy all these things. Fortunately, he took two sacks, which were just full.
Li had just sat for a while when Dadong came back. Seeing that Li had bought everything, he was a little surprised.
"Madam, have you bought all these things?"
"It's all ready, let's go back!" Li was eager to return home and just wanted to go back early.
"Madam, it's almost time for lunch. Madam has asked us to let our eldest young master sit in the stewed pork restaurant for a while and have something to eat." Dadong suggested.
But now Li had no time to think about it, so she waved her hand and said, "No, no, let's go back quickly!"
Now she only wanted to go back early, clean up the room and put those things there.
She asked Zhang Tiezhu and his son to nail some three-layer wooden shelves overnight. When the time comes, she will put these things on the shelves and she will be the shopkeeper.
She couldn't help but get excited when she thought of this. She never thought that she could still experience the feeling of being a boss when she was old.
Seeing that Li was eager to go home and didn't want to stay for even a minute, Dadong nodded: "Okay! Let's go back!"
Dadong loaded all the things onto the carriage, and Li also unloaded the backpack and put it on the carriage. Fortunately, this carriage was half the size of an ordinary carriage.
Otherwise, the two sacks alone would probably fill up the entire carriage.
Looking at the full box of things, Li was very happy. She had bargained so hard today that she finally got the price down.
The purchase price of so many things was less than one or two taels of silver. She had just visited some shops and referred to the prices of other people's goods, so she had an idea in her mind.
