70: The Soldier King's Supernatural Wife, Three Babies in One Child

Chapter 78 Why do you want your brother to marry a widow?

"Confused!"

Gu Suyi stared at her daughter's belly and felt dizzy.

"Si Zhengyang is obviously an irresponsible man. Even if he can become a superior person as you said, he may not be able to stay with you for long."

Tao Yuwei knew that her mother didn't like Si Zhengyang, and she just wanted to use the background of Si Zhengyang's parents to cross the class barrier.

Otherwise, even if she could pass the college entrance examination and leave the countryside two years later, and earn a lot of money relying on her memories of her past life, she would not be able to enter that circle of power.

"Mom, believe me, as long as Si Zhengyang goes to that university, we can leave here."

Seeing her daughter so persistent, Gu Suyi rubbed her temples helplessly.

"I don't care about you guys anymore. You should go to your second uncle's place more often. Otherwise, all the money and eggs he earns will be taken away by Lu Xiang and her children."

Hatred overflowed from Gu Suyi's eyes.

During this time, she was not in the house, and all the eggs collected by Liu Zhibai were taken away by that bitch Lu Chaoyan.

She even took away the money, causing her to not smell meat for half a month.

"I understand," Tao Yuwei's eyes were slightly cold, "Now the mountains are full of people picking ghost buns, and the jelly can't be sold. I don't have anything to do, so I will help my second uncle in the clinic from now on."

Gu Suyi thought of her eldest son and tears came to her eyes again.

"How is your eldest brother's house going? I don't have time to check it out. I wonder if the Hu family is bullying him?"

"It will be well soon. Don't worry about him. He can't even handle a bunch of peasants. He doesn't deserve me to call him big brother. I will go to the city tomorrow morning to see my second brother and see if he has dealt with Wu Hui."

"Oh, I just can't understand why you insist that your second brother marry a widow with a child?"

"Mom, Wu Hui's cousin is the wife of the director of the silk reeling factory. If we can establish this relationship, it won't be difficult for my second brother to become the richest man in the world in the future."

Especially since the factory director's sister's husband's family background is one of the most powerful families in the provincial capital, if the second brother marries Wu Hui, it is equivalent to clinging to that powerful backer.

When she and Si Zhengyang return to that home, they will complement each other and become a support to each other.

Money and power are all in your hands.

"Well, as long as your second brother is willing, I have no objection."

Gu Suyi felt sad when she saw her daughter who was wholeheartedly planning for her brothers.

It was all because of her incompetence that she could not protect her children, causing them to suffer.

At this moment, in the front yard, Lu Chaoyan had finished her meal and walked into her own room.

Only then did I feel like I had finally settled down in this world.

The whole house is filled with furniture made of fragrant fir wood, and a light and elegant scent of plants wafts through the air, making you feel refreshed and peaceful.

She had a good dream and woke up on time at three o'clock the next day.

I happened to meet Tao Yuwei who was about to go out, and Liu Zhibai who was going into the mountains to collect herbs.

During this period, he got a lot of good medicine from Lu Chaoyan, but the finished pills were still in his hands and he hadn't exchanged them for money, so Lu Chaoyan kept asking him for money every day.

Liu Zhibai didn't even have ten dollars left to turn over.

He could only go up the mountain to collect herbs, prepare them himself, and then sell them to pharmaceutical companies.

The three of them walked to the bridge together. Si Zhengyang was riding a bicycle and waiting for Tao Yuwei. They saw a cloth bag and two large wooden barrels tied to the back seat of his bicycle.

Lu Chaoyan smiled.

No need to guess, you know that the wooden barrel contains jelly, and the cloth bag should contain fungus.

Is it harvested so soon?

Then she would have to find time to go and have a look.

"What are you looking at?" Tao Yuwei stood in front of the cloth bag and yelled at Lu Chaoyan.

"Of course it's because you're beautiful." Lu Chaoyan smiled mischievously and walked away.

Tao Yuwei always felt that something was wrong with her, and she was very panicked, thinking that Lu Chaoyan must be trying to do something bad to her again.

After the two went to the city, they found the place where they had set up their stall.

The price of jelly was originally ten cents a bowl, but it was disrupted by Bao Aijuan’s selling of two bowls for one cent.

Now, she can only sell it for five cents a bowl.

In the 1970s, the price of black fungus was comparable to that of gold. Ordinary people in the city could not afford to eat it on a regular basis. Only during festivals could they get a small amount of food.

Therefore the price is not cheap.

Tao Yuwei charged half the price of the state-owned supermarket, fifteen yuan per pound, plus a pound of food coupons, with a minimum purchase of one pound, and no retail sales.

Most people just look at it and leave because they can’t afford it.

Zhang Hai goes to the black market every morning to look for fresh ingredients that are not available in state-owned shopping malls.

When he came to Tao Yuwei, he fell in love with her black fungus at first sight. He rummaged in the cloth bag for a few times and found no impurities, so he picked it up and weighed it.

"Ten yuan a pound, ten pounds of food coupons, I want them all."

"15 per pound, not a cent less."

Tao Yuwei was very determined. She had put a lot of thought into growing these wood ears, and it would not be cost-effective to sell them at a low price.

Zhang Hai raised his eyes and stared at her seriously, but he didn't expect Tao Yuwei to show no weakness at all. She met his eyes and refused to give in.

"Hey, interesting." Zhang Hai looked at the tough Tao Yuwei and thought of Lu Chaoyan. That girl was also very courageous, but more courageous than this girl. "Give me a pound."

He took out fifteen yuan and a pound of food coupons and threw them over.

Si Zhengyang, who was hiding behind Tao Yuwei, hurriedly picked it up and took out the oil paper and short scale that he had prepared early in the morning.

Tao Yuwei weighed a kilogram herself and handed it over with a sweet smile, "I come here every three days to sell it. You are welcome to come next time."

Zhang Hai picked up the fungus, weighed it, threw it into the basket behind him, glanced at her, and left.

Tao Yuwei took the money from Si Zhengyang and stuffed it into the small bag hanging on her chest. She smiled at Si Zhengyang with a smug look in her eyes and said, "When doing business, you can't be weak, otherwise others will only take advantage of you!"

The guy selling eggs nearby leaned over and whispered, "Hey, do you two know who is buying the fungus? If you don't sell it to him, you will lose a lot."

Tao Yuwei's smile froze on her face, "What do you mean?"

Did I offend someone?

The young man replied, "That's Zhang Hai, the head chef of the state-owned restaurant. He's the most generous in purchasing. If you just promised him, he will be able to eat whatever you have in the future."

Tao Yuwei had heard of Zhang Hai, but this was the first time she met him, and she secretly regretted it.

She rolled her eyes and thought that when she came to sell fungus again in three days, she would talk to him again and try to get closer to him.

But afterwards, not a single pound of fungus was sold. Si Zhengyang looked unhappy and blamed her for being too greedy.

Let her sell it at a lower price.

Tao Yuwei refused. People at that time regarded black fungus as a precious nutritional supplement. Besides, the artificial cultivation of black fungus had just started and the technology was not perfect. The price would only get higher and higher. She wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to make a fortune and would never lower the price.

Just when Si Zhengyang was getting angry, a white-haired old lady came with a basket. After looking at the fungus, she opened her mouth and asked for two kilograms.

Tao Yuwei smiled and weighed the fungus to her. When the people walked away, she glared at Si Zhengyang.

"I've told you many times that you need to be steady and calm to make big money."

Si Zhengyang immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "I was wrong. I will listen to you from now on."
