Started as a mute girl? I prospered in the lean years

"What does your father have to do with us? I heard that every time your father comes to see you, you always mess up things. You don't have to do anything this time. Aren't you happy?"

Jiang Huaixu felt that this child had quite a rebellious spirit.

Zhou Xiaoni's lip was broken by a stone. Even though she tried her best to endure it, tears still shone in her eyes. She wiped it hard with her arm, stood up and ran away.

She ran away, but the children from Dafeng Village who she called did not run away. They all looked at Jiang Huaixu eagerly. Jiang Huaixu said to them: "You guys wait here, I'll go back and get the candy."

Soon the dragon beard candies were brought. Jiang Huaixu shook the bag containing the candies in his hand and said, "If you want to eat candies, you have to promise me one thing."

The eyes of the children in Dafeng Village followed Jiang Huaixu's hand holding the bag, and the longing in their eyes almost overflowed.

The oldest child swallowed his saliva and said dissatisfied: "You don't mean what you say!"

"What doesn't count? If you agree, you will still have sweets to eat in the future. If you don't agree, our deal is only for this time. Think about it carefully."

Jiang Erlang stood aside, remembering that Jiang Huaixu seemed to have said something like "drawing a big cake" before, and now it seemed to be vividly staged in front of his eyes.

The children whispered for a while, and finally said impatiently: "Promise, we promise!"

Jiang Huaixu approached the children and whispered for a long time. Seeing that they agreed, she gave each of the children a dragon beard candy, and finally watched the group of people run away happily.

She stamped her feet, "Second brother, let's go back, it's a bit cold."

"Has this matter been settled?" Jiang Erlang didn't pay much attention to what happened in the tofu shop these past two days.

Jiang Huaixu nodded, "It will take some time, but it doesn't matter. Second brother can watch the show at home in the next few days."

Halfway through the way home, Jiang Huaixu suddenly remembered the purpose of going to Tofu Factory, so after saying hello to Jiang Erlang, he jogged to Tofu Factory to find Li Qiaoer and Xia Shuanghua.

She acted as a flower protector and sent the two of them home.

The old couple haven't come back yet, Li Qiaoer and Xia Shuanghua are not in high spirits, and the atmosphere is a bit silent.

"Sister Axu, are we two causing a lot of trouble to the village?" Xia Shuanghua suddenly said, "If it weren't for us, the reputation of Jiuxi Village would not be so bad..."

Li Qiaoer also looked at Jiang Huaixu after hearing this. Jiang Huaixu shook his head, "You two have been doing your own thing since you came to Jiuxi Village. Everyone in our village can see clearly that you should not take the responsibility on yourself."

Listening to Jiang Huaixu's words, Li Qiaoer suddenly shed tears when he remembered what his mother-in-law had said during the day.

Dad and mom felt sorry for her, but the world was like this. They wanted her to get married, but they felt she wasn't worthy.

After Xia Shuanghua comforted her, she gradually shed tears, wondering if she was infected, and finally the two of them cried together.

After Jiang Huaixu was in the initial panic, he only looked at the two sad people quietly without any movement or comfort.

The emotions have been accumulated in their hearts for too long, and they need an outlet.

After gradually calming down, Li Qiaoer seemed to have made up his mind. He looked at Jiang Huaixu and said, "Sister Axu, I remember you said that we need to go to Jiangnan to inspect the market. I want to go."

Xia Shuanghua stopped crying and opened her eyes wide in surprise, "Sister Qiao'er, how can this be done? My father and mother will not agree."

"I know, I will convince them." Li Qiaoer said softly, "I want to see what it's like outside, and I want to find a way to survive that is not so difficult."

Jiang Huaixu looked at her and said, "Okay, Sister Qiao'er, I promise you. Just for your safety, you need to learn something."

Li Qiaoer opened her red and swollen eyes full of hope and asked Jiang Huaixu: "What is it?"

Jiang Huaixu smiled and said, "While I'm getting ready, you can come to my house to find me in two days."

Xia Shuanghua looked hesitant. On the one hand, she was moved by Sister Qiaoer's bravery, but on the other hand, she couldn't give up the task of grinding allspice powder.

Jiang Huaixu saw her hesitation and said, "Sister Shuanghua, if you want to go, you can. I will find someone else to grind the five-spice powder."

"No." Xia Shuanghua bit her lip and shook her head, "I like working in Tofu Factory, not to mention there will be opportunities in the future..."

As she spoke, she looked up, as if she wanted to find a definite answer on Jiang Huaixu's face.

Jiang Huaixu smiled and said: "That's great! Otherwise, I would be a little worried if you two were gone at once."

Afterwards, Jiang Huaixu told the two of them about the payment based on weight for grinding five-spice powder, and then she left.

On the way home, Jiang Huaixu looked up at the night sky, which was as thick as splashed ink. He secretly hoped that there would be more women in the world like Li Qiaoer and Xia Shuanghua who could find the path they wanted to take.

In the next few days, as Jiang Huaixu said, Dafeng Village and Jiuxi Village were quite lively, and many people came to Jiuxi Village every day to inquire.

"Hey, nephew, have you eaten? It's such a coincidence that I'm here. How can I meet you here?"

Jiang Dazhuang looked at the door of his house that he had just closed, and was speechless for a moment.

He didn't speak, but the old lady opposite was still chattering, "I heard that your tofu shop needs someone? How is this going? If you don't find someone, three of my four sons can come, and my daughters-in-law can do it. Very..."

The village was a little more tactful. Jiang Zhengmao, who was working in the wasteland, was chased all the way to the tofu shop. There were many ladies behind him chasing after him.

"Village Chief Jiang, my son, daughter-in-law, grandson, and granddaughter can all come to our tofu shop..."

"Don't look at my age, but I am also very strong. Grinding spices and the like are all easy jobs. You can find someone from my family without any problem..."

······

Jiang Zhengmao's head hurt from the noise, so he said that Jiang Huaixu had left him a message for no reason two days ago, and he was waiting here!

Walking to the door of the tofu shop, there were many people looking at the door. Jiang Zhengmao squeezed in, opened the door and saw that everyone was working just like whoever was behind them, working quickly and meticulously. On the side of grinding tofu, the hair on the donkey’s buttocks They were all whipped up.

He closed the door again with a bang, turned to the villagers of Dafeng Village who were still questioning, and said, "Everyone, be quiet! Everyone, please be quiet and listen to me!"

The noise gradually disappeared, and everyone stared at Jiang Zhengmao with fiery eyes.

Jiang Zhengmao had long been accustomed to speaking in front of people, but he was still numb by the gazes of these people.

He cleared his throat and said, "To be honest, we may recruit some people to grind spices here over time. We were initially considering whether to let people from two villages work for Zhou Lizheng's sake." People work together.”

The villagers looked happy and started making noise again.

"I heard that wages are based on weight? How much is a pound?"

"If you don't see it when you look up, you can't see it when you look down. We are the right ones to look for! We are determined not to be lazy!"

······

Jiang Zhengmao spent some effort to signal the villagers to stop talking, and then spoke again, "Don't be excited, don't be excited, I just said 'at the beginning', now -"

He smiled apologetically, "I'm afraid I can't."

All the villagers in Dafeng Village were stunned, "Why?"

"Why can't you do it again?"

······

Someone thought of what happened yesterday and guessed, "Is it because of the old lady yesterday...?"

Everyone looked at Jiang Zhengmao, but Jiang Zhengmao smiled and said nothing. In the end, he just said: "Everyone, you'd better go home quickly. We have a lot of work here, so we can't delay it!"
