The Ancient Life of the Doomsday

The mother of the Qin family, Pei Shaorong, didn't ask too much. It's completely expected that someone like the Liu family can commit crimes to this extent.

Moreover, other people's affairs have nothing to do with him, and Pei Shaorong doesn't bother to take care of them. Now, he has to find a way to sell the 5-jin vermicelli and 3-jin sweet potato flour.

However, there is no rush to do business. Whether it is the cost of purchasing sweet potatoes or the cost of asking workers to help make vermicelli and sweet potato flour, it is not small.

If you are in a hurry to sell it, then the price will naturally be lower. Pei Shaorong will never do such a thankless thing. He has space to keep it fresh, so he is not in a hurry for a while.

In the end, together with Mo Xiaobao, Pei Shaorong decided to open a small shop in Yueyang Town, specializing in selling sweet potato vermicelli, sweet potato flour and other products!

Pei Shaorong has always been a man of action, and when he made up his mind, he immediately ran to the town to find a shop to get things done.

Sweet potato is a good thing, no matter it is sweet potato powder or sweet potato vermicelli, there is no such thing here in Yueyang Town now, and as soon as these things are released, Pei's sweet potato products become popular.

Especially the sweet potato vermicelli, because the local vermicelli here is made of mung bean and other raw materials, the cost is high, and the price here in Yueyang Town is very expensive.

But his vermicelli is different. It not only tastes good, but also sells at a much cheaper price. Therefore, as soon as the product was launched, it was welcomed by the masses of the people.

The cost of vermicelli per catty is eight cents, and the selling price is 15 cents. The cost of sweet potato flour is five cents per catty, and the selling price is 12 cents. The profit is basically half!

Less than half a month after opening, the turnover has greatly exceeded Pei Shaorong's expectations, and the money received every day has almost doubled.

After thinking about it for a while, Pei Shaorong continued to buy sweet potatoes and run the workshop to make finished sweet potatoes. At this moment, sweet potatoes are flooding, and the purchase price is the lowest, so naturally you can't miss it!

Pei Shaorong didn't sell all the finished products in his newly opened store, but focused his attention on the farther Yueyang City.

When everyone thought he was crazy and stockpiled all the silver at home with sweet potatoes, Pei Shaorong had already taken advantage of the convenience of space to transport a large number of vermicelli and sweet potato flour and exchanged them for silver...

After the sweet potato craze passed at the end of August, the sweet potato workshop stopped working, and Pei Shaorong also began to restrain himself.

During this period of time, because of the sale of sweet potato products, his family has completely become a hot topic in the village. It is really not Pei Shaorong's style to be so high-profile, so what he has to do is to try not to be so 'rich'!

However, although Pei Shaorong made a big move in the sweet potato business this time, in fact, the villagers really couldn't guess how much he made.

Now the Pei family's property on the surface is nothing more than a newly built house, ten acres of land, and two livestock bought in a 'partnership' with the Qin family and the Xue family.

Besides, there is the enviable shop. As for the Pei family's money, no one can guess how much money there is...

Even if everyone knows that the Pei family has made a lot of money from the sweet potato business this time, when Pei Shaorong "grits his teeth" and settles the sweet potato purchase money owed to the villagers and the wages of the workshop, the villagers' mentality will change. changed.

All the cash that the Pei family earned was used up, and the rest of the money was nothing more than a pile of unsold vermicelli and sweet potato flour.

There are even many people who worry for Pei Shaorong that if so many vermicelli and sweet potato flour in his house fail to be sold out in the end, it will be a disaster!

However, the Pei family is not worried about these issues. What worries Mo Xiaobao recently is that he is thinking about having a baby...

He and Pei Shaorong have been married for almost a year. Although it is not easy for the younger brother to conceive a child, Mo Xiaobao feels that he eats well these days, sleeps well, and is very diligent in making babies with his husband, but this stomach Why is there no movement?

Mo Xiaobao was not the only one worried about this matter, the villagers were already talking about it behind their backs, and the gossiping aunts and aunts were secretly gossiping behind their backs.

This is also a very normal thing. Generally, the newly married husband and the new daughter-in-law who have not conceived a child for a year will inevitably be talked about.

In fact, Mo Xiaobao has been gossiped by the village for so many years, so he has already developed a thick skin and will not easily care about other people's gossip.

But the problem is that what everyone is talking about is a problem on his heart. Mo Xiaobao is very looking forward to and persistent about having a baby with Pei Shaorong!

Today, Mo Xiaobao went to Brother Lin's house to tease the child again, and found out the secret recipe for having a child. You must know that Brother Lin and Xue Tieshi were pregnant within half a year after getting married...

"A Bao, don't rush this matter, don't worry, take good care of your body, have a lot of nights... Then you will definitely have something!"

Brother Lin didn't know what to say to comfort Mo Xiaobao, he really wanted to help, but how could he be an outsider who said he could help with the childbirth matter, if the secret recipe for childbirth worked, no one in the world would worry about having a baby something happened.

"Abao, don't worry about what the villagers say, those aunts love to talk about it..."

Mo Xiaobao also knew about these things, but he was annoyed in his heart, "Brother Lin, I know these things, but I have been married to Big Brother Pei for almost a year, and Big Brother Pei really wants to have a child..."

Thinking about how he swore that he would give birth to a fat boy when he got married, but his stomach didn't move for so long, Mo Xiaobao felt that he was useless.

Even thinking of his own mother, Mo Xiaobao was worried that he would not be able to have children in the future, and Pei Shaorong would dislike him. Although they have a good relationship now, he was worried...

In fact, it's no wonder that Mo Xiaobao has this kind of worry. Since he was a child, he saw Aunt Mo being rejected by Father Mo because she couldn't give birth to a son. It is absolutely impossible to say that there is no shadow.

It is only natural for this man to value his offspring, and it is not uncommon in the village that there are no examples of getting married and loving each other because of children's affairs after a long time.

Seeing Mo Xiaobao's sad face, Lin Ge'er could only try his best to comfort "Abao, don't think about it, you are so good to you, you won't despise you, I think he really likes you, look Didn't he mind your reputation to marry you back then? Don't worry, there will always be children when the time comes..."

"..." Nodding his head, Mo Xiaobao could only accept this kind of consolation, thinking that although they had been married for almost a year, their life was still as sweet as when they first got married, and he felt a lot of comfort in his heart.

Feeling better now, Mo Xiaobao was still thinking about giving birth to a baby, and pulled Lin Ge'er to continue asking for experience in giving birth to prepare for the future.

Seeing Mo Xiaobao's nervous, curious and expectant appearance, Geer Lin was also happy to pass on his experience, talking about his childbirth.

Mo Xiaobao kept all pregnancy symptoms and pregnancy preparations in mind, such as pregnancy vomiting, sour and spicy appetite, eccentric mood during pregnancy and other pregnancy symptoms.

But pregnancy is something that can happen. Although Pei Shaorong and Mo Xiaobao work hard every day to make dolls, what can they do if the baby doesn't come?

Although Pei Shaorong felt regretful, he didn't have to have a baby, but Mo Xiaobao was different. He was worried all day long because of this matter, and the villagers talked even more fiercely.

Because of this matter, Aunt Mo and Father Mo also made a special trip to the door.

Aunt Mo suffered a lot from not having a son in her life, and she deeply knew how miserable it is for a daughter-in-law and a brother who did not give birth to a son.

Needless to say, old man Mo, he is a man who values ​​incense, of course he understands how violent a man can turn his face.

My little brother is not the best kind, and now Pei Shaorong seems to be more and more capable, and Mr. Mo is very worried that he will dislike Mo Xiaobao after he becomes prosperous.

Anyway, Mo Xiaobao is also his own baby, no matter how much he despises him as a little brother, he can't watch someone get divorced and go home.

At that time, his mother's family will have to continue. Thinking about how to continue to support the younger brother when he is old and has no son to die, Father Mo feels sad.

What's more, Father Mo is now more and more satisfied with Pei Shaorong. Even if this brother-in-law is difficult to deal with and can't take advantage of it, at least this son-in-law will not let him help him, right?

"I said that Abao is the head of the family. Don't blame the old man for talking too much. You can't worry about this kid... People in the village are all talkative, so don't listen to those nonsense..."

Father Mo sat in the courtyard of Pei's house, smoking dry cigarettes, and said earnestly, "The days are still long, my Abao will definitely give birth to a big fat boy for you, if it is not possible, my Abao can work, I will give you a baby!" Men's!"

After hearing this, Pei Shaorong smiled. He knew all the recent rumors in the village, and he had told Abao many times about the child.

It's good to have buns, but it's fine if you don't have one. In his heart, a little brother is just like a man, and he doesn't feel disgusted if he doesn't have a bun.

But Ah Bao is different from him. As a little brother who was born and bred here, he absolutely can't understand things like Dink.

It's useless for children to come when things like this should come, and it's useless to rush to death when they don't come.

Mo Xiaobao understood this truth, but he still couldn't calm down in his heart. Pei Shaorong tried his best to coax and lie to him every day.

In the end, I took Mo Xiaobao to the town and listened to the comforting words from the doctor's authoritative officials, and my heart was relieved, and Pei Shaorong was also relieved.

In order to prevent Mo Xiaobao from continuing to think wildly, as soon as he goes out, Pei Shaorong will definitely go to the village and invite a few brothers and aunts to go home to divert Mo Xiaobao's attention...

After Mo Xiaobao had completely calmed down and regained his previous carefree appearance, the weather had entered the hottest time of summer, and the business of Pei's small shop had stabilized.

At the same time, the talented son-in-law said in the legend of Mr. Mo finally came back from the capital after the exam.

He didn’t return to his hometown in high school as expected by Mr. Mo. Although Sun Yaocai has some knowledge, there are many people in the world who are better educated than him. Among thousands of students, he has become the one who has lost his reputation...

Hearing this news, Pei Shaorong was actually not surprised. The ancient imperial examinations were not as simple as everyone thought. They said that they could pass the exams, and they didn't sell cabbages on the street!

Don’t you see that there was a little old man named Fan Jin in ancient times, who only passed the imperial examination once all his life, and Sun Yaocai failed the exam this time. Pei Shaorong really felt that it was really normal, and it was not surprising at all.

It's no surprise that Pei Shaorong thought it was normal, but Mo's father had a different mentality. Although he knew that the imperial examination was not easy, he thought his eldest son-in-law was very good.

Over the years, Father Mo has spared no effort to support the Sun family, almost to the point of selling everything he can, but now that Sun Yaocai has lost his name to Sun Shan, Father Mo feels very uncomfortable in his heart!

And just when Father Mo was thinking about whether he would continue to support the Sun family for another three years with his family full of papers, Sun Yaocai and the pregnant Mo Lanzhu finally returned to their natal family...

As for Mo Lanzhu, the eldest daughter of Father Mo, she was actually quite famous in Linjiang Village before she got married.

Before the age of 13, Mo Lanzhu was very inconspicuous in the village. She was dark and thin, and she blushed when she saw anyone. She was an ordinary country girl with an introverted personality.

But since she woke up from a serious illness at the age of 13, Mo Lanzhu has completely changed. Not only did her parents and brothers not know each other, but she also talked nonsense all day long that no one could understand. If so, it looks like bewitched.

Later, Father Mo went to the town to hire a sorceress, who practiced tricks and poured medicine and talisman water. After half a month of tossing, Mo Lanzhu finally returned to normal.

But Mo Lanzhu seemed to be a different person right now, his personality became more extroverted, and his head became stronger.

But the difference is that Mo Lanzhu's amnesia problem still hasn't been cured, and she doesn't know any of the housework that she is good at, and she doesn't even know some common sense.

In the next few years, Mo Lanzhu began to emit her dazzling light like a dusty pearl, and the dark and thin little girl began to move towards Bai Fumei.

The black and thin girl from before has completely disappeared. Not only has she become more beautiful, but she doesn’t know where she learned the characters. She also has a kind of arrogance and noble temperament that only the young ladies in the city have. It is simply like the boys in the village at that time goddess!

Now that she was at the age of marriage, Mo Lanzhu had her own opinions. She picked Sun Yaocai over Father Mo, and after several days of quarreling with Father Mo, she married Sun's family.

After getting married, Mo Lanzhu seldom went back to her natal home, and only stayed for two days every time she came back, and then hurried back to Sun's house, as if Mo's house was not her natal home, but a hotel.

If Mo Lanzhu hadn't stayed in the village and someone was watching at home from the beginning to the end, Father Mo would have wondered if his daughter had been swapped?

But no matter how suspicious he was, he never imagined that his daughter was really a different person. This body lived in a soul from another world that had absolutely nothing to do with him...

So in the eyes of Mo's father who didn't know the truth, it was his own birth after all. His daughter was so indifferent to him, and he said in his heart that he didn't feel a little bit uncomfortable, that was a lie.

Although he is a patriarchal person, he liked the eldest daughter much more than his younger brother since he was a child.

When other girls also went to the fields to do heavy work, Father Mo didn't let Mo Lanzhu go to the fields. At most, he just did ordinary housework and asked her to help embroider some women's reds to earn money.

However, according to Mo's temperament, he was only sad for a few days, and his attention was focused on the matter of Sun Yaocai's champion and the adoption of the Sun family.

Now that Sun Yaocai didn't pass the exam, Father Mo was suffocating, thinking to himself that it was good for him to keep his back and let Sun's family write the IOU and the proof of adoption incense!

It was already night when Mo Lanzhu and Sun Yaocai returned to Mo's house in Linjiang Village. Father Mo was sitting in the house smoking a pipe and waiting for the fire.

When he saw that Mo Lanzhu and Sun Yaocai came back empty-handed as before, Father Mo became even more unhappy.

In the past, the two of them didn't bring anything when they went back to their mother's house. Seeing that Sun Yao is the "future number one", Mo Lao couldn't bear it.

Now that Sun Yaocai failed the ranking, Father Mo just had the illusion that fetching water from a bamboo basket was a waste of time, and he was already depressed, and now the two of them came back empty-handed, no wonder the iron rooster is happy!

If it was the old days, Father Mo must have prepared a good meal early and happily waited for the two of them to entertain him well.

But today, the fact that he failed the ranking because of Sun Yao was on the rise. On the table was a very ordinary steamed bun with pickled vegetables and stir-fried vegetables, and Mo Lanzhu was a little unhappy when it was served.

It's rare for me and my husband to go back to my mother's house, but Mr. Mo didn't even cook a single meat dish. Is this the treatment of going back to my mother's house?

Next to him, Sun Yaocai is a scholar with a thin skin. Everyone laughed at him when he failed the exam this time. Now that Mo’s behavior is obviously disgusting and despising him, it makes him feel a little embarrassed...

After Mo's father brought up the matter of repaying the money, Sun Yaocai lost face completely, and Mo Lanzhu couldn't eat anymore.

The two were unhappy, and Father Mo didn't care. In his heart, money and incense were real, and it was only natural to pay off debts. He asked a few questions, what's wrong?

I have always lent more than 30 taels of silver to the Sun family in the past few years, so who is not worried about such a large sum of money?

Moreover, Lan Zhu hadn't been close to him these years, and he rarely came back without saying anything, and his attitude was very cold. Sometimes Father Mo felt that his daughter looked at him as if he were a stranger.

All these things made Father Mo feel more and more uneasy, he is not a fool, this time Sun Yaocai's failure made him feel even more uncertain.

Instead of continuing to wait for Sun Yaocai to take the No. [-] Scholar exam in vain, it would be better to have money in hand!

"Mr. Lanzhu, father is not young anymore, and he will have to take care of himself in the future. How long will it take to pay back the money? Tell me for sure..."

"..."

How could the Sun family get more than 30 taels of cash now?

The Sun family was not rich in the first place, even though there is a scholar like Sun Yaocai, there is no need to pay taxes and tribute to the court every year, which is beneficial but not much.

Moreover, Sun Yaocai spends a lot of money on pen, ink, paper and inkstone for his studies every year, and Sun's family is just a farmer, so most of them rely on the help of villagers and relatives to make him a scholar.

It's not just Papa Mo's side, the Sun's family also owed a lot of money to other relatives and neighbors to pay for the travel expenses for the exam in Beijing this time.

Now that Sun Yaocai didn't pass the exam, and the Sun family's prosperity is elusive, these creditors naturally came to the door. In order to deal with the creditors, the Sun family's savings have shrunk extremely.

This time when Mo Lanzhu and Sun Yao just came back, they also called Father Mo to ask for some money to help him. Unexpectedly, Father Mo turned his face faster than flipping through a book. He didn't care about the relationship between his in-laws and his daughter.

Seeing that Sun Yaocai's face turned red and embarrassing, Mo Lanzhu complained in his heart that Father Mo didn't give him face. After all, his body was also his own, and he called him his father for so many years.

"Father, my husband and I will return the money to you in the future. When I come back this time, my daughter wants to ask you for help. My husband wants to open a private school in the village. You can lend us another 20 taels, and return it immediately when you earn the money." you……"

Now that the family is short of money, Sun Yaocai, the man in the family, naturally has to contribute, but he is a scholar, his limbs are not diligent, and he can't do heavy work because he doesn't know the grains, and he can't hold back his face.

Now the way he can think of to make a living is to open a private school, which can not only save face as a teacher and educate people, but also earn money without delaying studying!

"20 taels? No, I have no money!"

As soon as Father Mo heard that Mo Lanzhu wanted money, he immediately became excited and refused, not to mention that he didn't have 20 taels now, and he would never lend it to the Sun family again.

Before, Father Mo was dazzled by the promise of the Sun family's incense and the bright future of the Sun family's prosperity, but now that Sun Yaocai's failure made him feel relieved.

Forget about the previous three years, if he is stupid, if he is stupid, if he is blinded by lard and wants to get rich, and now the Sun family still wants to borrow money, it will really kill Father Mo.

If Sun Yaocai still failed the exam three years later, wouldn't he have wasted all his efforts?

I'm not young anymore, but I can't afford to wait three years and three years. Father Mo still has to plan for his future.

The Sun family had promised to adopt the surname Mo after giving birth to a child. In the future, he would have to raise a boy for the Mo family, which would be a big expense. Now that he has lent all the money to the Sun family, what will the Mo family do in the future?

No, this money must not be borrowed!

The Sun family is a bottomless pit now, and this Lan Zhu has not been close to him these years, and it seems that he is not familiar with it, so if he borrows money, he will not be able to get it back!

He is so old, not only will he have to raise a boy in the future, he will also have to save some coffin books for himself.

The more he thought about it, the more Papa Mo felt that he was so stupid and stupid before. At that time, he was really obsessed with ghosts.

What's the number one exam? Yueyang Town has been around for hundreds of years, and only the son-in-law of the village head's family passed the exam. In the end, he was still a white-eyed wolf!

Wait, Bai, Yan, Wolf?

Father Mo was stunned, his eyes turned around on Mo Lanzhu and Sun Yaocai, he... he shouldn't be as unlucky as Qin Laoshuan, right?

The more he thought about it, he began to feel uneasy, thinking of Mo Lanzhu's attitude of not being close to his natal family all these years, his heart felt cold.

Thinking of Mo Xiaobao again, although he was not good to Xiaobao and asked Xiaobao to work at home, but the child rebelled against him, and if he was right, he was right, but he still offered all the courtesy and filial piety that he should have on weekdays.

Although every time he tried his best not to let him take advantage of it, if he got angry, he would turn his face and quarrel with him...

But this Lanzhu, not to mention filial piety, rarely comes back during the Chinese New Year, and with that look in her eyes, she looks at herself as if she were a stranger, a snobby old man!

Thinking about it this way, Father Mo didn't want to borrow money even more. Instead, he looked at Sun Yaocai and Mo Lanzhu with a strange look as if he had been slapped in the face.

No, I think his father Mo has been in Linjiang Village for so many years, and he can't end up with nothing like Qin Laoshuan!
