Farming: I dressed up as a widow and beat my parents-in-law violently

The man agreed.

If you buy all the candles, you will need more than 300 taels of silver. But if you sell them, after excluding the cost of more than 300 taels, you can make at least another two thousand taels.

The benefits don't stop there.

This gimmick of burning candles for a long time can not only make money, but also win back lost customers.

Doesn't the Yang's Incense Candle Shop across the street rely on low prices to attract customers?

After all, this method cannot last long.

Since their He family can't compete with low prices.

Then he will pay a high price, and from now on he will sell expensive candles and only do business for dignitaries!

In Shu County, the price of an ordinary candle is 100 Wen.

Even the cheapest and poorest quality ones cost 20 cents a piece.

When the price of ordinary candles in Yang's shop was the lowest, they only sold for 60 cents, making no money at all.

He Chuwei didn't even know how his shop survived.

He planned to price these candles at 200 cents each.

Definitely not cheap!

"Is this... news reliable?" Wan still had a trace of reason left.

She took her right hand out of He Chuwei's palm and asked with suspicion in her eyes.

"Madam, please believe me, okay? This news must be reliable. When I earn the money, I will repay you four hundred taels with interest! However, you must not mention this matter to my grandfather and father. You know it and I know it, but you can't If a third person knows about it! I will bribe the waiter in the shop, and when I make money later, I will put it into our private treasury. From now on, if I am the head of the He family, then you will be the mistress of the He family. No one can Ride on your head!"

He Chuwei's cake-painting skills were inherited from his own father.

"Okay, I'll help you, but... you also know that my natal family is not as good as yours. My original dowry was only thirty taels of silver, but my maternal family felt sorry for me and bought me a small shop as my dowry. Since then, After we got married, we already collected twenty taels of silver in rent. The shop is too small and we can't sell it for much money, but don't worry, husband, you pawned my jewelry, which is enough for more than three hundred taels."

While Wan was talking, she took out the paper deed of the dowry shop, a money bag, and half a box of jewelry from the cabinet.

"Half of these jewelry were worn by me when I was at my parents' house, and I brought them with me after we got married. The other half were given to me by my aunt and grandmother after I married you, so I'll pawn them all."

He Chuwei glanced at it.

There are hairpins, earrings, bracelets, etc. in the jewelry box.

All materials are available.

But most of them are gilt and silver, and there are a few sapphires.

Regardless of the large number, they are not as valuable as a set of headgear worn by the wife of a wealthy family.

He Chuwei held Wan's hands and looked at her lovingly. "Madam, I will have no regrets in my life if I marry you."

"Husband~"

"Lady~"

The two became more affectionate, and He Chuwei put down the bed curtain.

Yan Mansion at that time.

Yan Xia's family has just started dinner.

"Mom, I just heard from Chang Yi that you brought Chen Zhaoer back?" Chang Lu asked casually as soon as he took a bite of spicy fried pork slices.

"Well, I met her on the road and looked at her pitifully. I heard that she was sold by Wang Lihua. It's really a crime. My own daughter can be so cruel. Tsk." Yan Xia took a sip of soup and sighed.

"It's not like you don't know about the ladies in the Chen family. From old to young, is there any good one? But Zhao'er is still young and her temperament is undecided. I have watched her grow up. This child is also a pitiful person. I hope Don’t let her grow up like the Chen family, by the way, mother, do you want to keep her?”

Chang Lu continued to ask.

"I don't know. Wait until she recovers from her injuries. If she has a good temper and is honest, mother will wait until the school is built and send her to the school to study. Then let her live in the school dormitory. If she is restless, mother It won't harm her, she is a child after all, so just find her a good family and let her work as a maid, she will be fed and clothed, and it is better than begging for food."

Yan Xia told the truth, although she felt sorry for Zhao'er, not everyone could save him.

She doesn't do this kind of thing like a farmer rescuing a snake.

Even if Zhao'er is kept, she will not be allowed to live in Yan Mansion for a long time.

The school will be built after the Chinese New Year, and then she will send Zhao'er to study for free.

After graduation, Zhao'er will grow up.

Then she can do whatever she wants, whether she gets married, stays in school and becomes a wife, or goes into business, etc. She won't care about anything.

After a while, Yan Xia finished her meal.

She asked Xiao Ji to bring out the food that she had previously ordered the kitchen maid to put on the stove to keep warm.

Then Xiaoji and I went to Zhao'er's house.

The door is closed.

With a gentle push, the wooden door opened. On the left side of the room was a wooden bed, and on the right side were piles of debris. The space was cramped and a little cramped, but the debris was neatly placed by the maid, so it was not messy.

The bed on the left is particularly clean. There is a candle lamp on the table, and the bed is covered with thick quilts. Under the candlelight, the room is very warm.

Zhao'er was not sleeping on the bed, but was looking at the beams in a daze with his big eyes open.

Yan Xia's voice was very soft, and her footsteps were very soft because she was worried about scaring Zhao'er.

Xiaoji put the food on the table next to the bed.

Then he helped Zhao'er up, stuffed the pillow on her lower back, and covered her with the quilt.

A set of actions flows like flowing water.

However, Zhao'er's small body had no expression on his face.

The whole person was unusually quiet.

Let yourself be at the mercy of your own ego.

"Zhao'er? Are you hungry? Get up and eat." Yan Xia said to Zhao'er. As he spoke, Xiaoji had already brought the tray on the table to Zhao'er. There was a bowl of thick thin noodles in the tray. Meat porridge and two plates of side dishes, but Yan Xia was not allowed to eat big fish, big meat and white rice.

But Zhao'er has been hungry for too long. If he eats too much greasy food all at once, it will hurt his spleen and stomach.

In severe cases, you may vomit and defecate.

It doesn't matter, adults.

A child as young as five may have diarrhea and die.

Zhao'er saw Xiao Ji placing the tray on her quilt, and the smell of rice surrounded the tip of her nose. Xiao Ji'er was drooling, but she didn't eat immediately, but said in a soft voice. "Thank you, great-uncle. Zhao'er only needs a little bit, and great-uncle can eat the rest."

The rice porridge is so fragrant, and there seems to be meat in it.

When Zhao'er grew up, he only ate meat once, before he was sold by his mother.

That day, my mother cooked a bowl of lean meat and egg custard, saying it was to see her off.

Zhao'er didn't know where he was going.

She only knew that the egg custard that day was particularly delicious. She ate a full spoonful of the bowl of egg custard. Although her cousin ate all the rest, she was very satisfied with just one spoonful.

In her spoonful of egg custard, there was also a thin shred of pork, which tasted so delicious that she was reluctant to swallow it.

Thinking of the past, Zhao'er's eyes were red, but the tears didn't fall for a long time.

In fact, she was so hungry that her stomach hurt.
