The girl who wears fast

Chapter 325 I heard that I am the best (12)

"I heard that Mrs. Mu is the most kind and generous. You usually donate a few taels of silver when you see a beggar. Now I have to sell buns to subsidize my family. Mrs. Mu, you think I shouldn't do this. If there is another way, I will do it too. I don’t want to work so hard... How about, Mrs. Mu, you can help my family every month? This way I don’t have to sell buns, and you don’t have to worry about our family. Just a little money can save our family Now, what do you think?"

Zhou Shichu said with a smile, and looked at Liu Yan expectantly. When Liu Yan heard her words, her eyes widened in astonishment. Obviously, she didn't expect Zhou Shichu to be so shameless, so she almost told her blatantly, Let her pay to support Zhou Shichu's family, and Zhou Shichu promised not to sell buns that day.

There are such shameless people in this world!Liu Yan's complexion was colorful and wonderful, she obviously forgot that Zhou Shichu was an unreasonable shrew who didn't care about her reputation at all, and was completely different from other women who were devoted to their husbands and sons.

Seeing that she was choked up by his own words, Zhou Shichu chuckled inwardly. She just wanted to disgust this woman who "why not eat minced meat".

"Why didn't Mrs. Mu talk anymore? Did you promise to help our family every month? You are so kind and generous, surely you won't refuse?" Zhou Shichu asked her expectantly, and didn't stop until she got an answer.

Liu Yan's eyes wandered, and she felt guilty and flustered. How could she answer this?She can't agree, after all, she is not a fool, taking money to support outsiders for nothing, even if she has money, it is not the way to spend it, not to mention that her relationship with Zhou Shichu is not so good; but she can't refuse directly, after all Zhou Shichu has emphasized that she is a "kind and generous" person. If she refuses to help Zhou Shichu, won't she deny this statement and show that she is not actually "kind and generous"?
Liu Yan was in a dilemma, her eyes were flushed with anxiety, and she was really on the verge of crying right now.

Fortunately, she also has a loyal servant girl, Qingfeng, who will marry Li Wei in the future. Qingfeng pinched Liu Yan's arm lightly, as if remembering something important, and said loudly: "Oh ma'am! It’s getting late, the general said this morning that he wanted to eat Manfulou’s donkey meat siu mai, we’ve been out for so long and haven’t bought it yet, if we go late, the donkey meat siu mai will be sold out, let’s go quickly!”

After speaking, she dragged Liu Yan away from the crowd, Liu Yan nodded and said, "You are right, we can't delay any longer!"

The master and servant fled away, how could Zhou Shichu not see their tricks?But she didn't expose it, after all, she didn't really want Liu Yan to help her.

It's funny to say that Liu Yan keeps interfering in other people's affairs by saying "for your own good", but once her own interests are involved, she immediately backs down, which is extremely hypocritical.

Zhou Shichu didn't bother to pay attention to her hypocrisy.

She wants to save more money to buy a small shop and hire a few people, then she can be the shopkeeper behind the scenes, and leave other things to others.

In fact, it is easy for her to open a bun shop, but the source of the money is difficult to explain. After all, the income from selling buns every day is obvious to all. Everyone can guess how much she earns. If she spends too much, it will definitely make people People found it strange, so she had to take her time.

Li Ji and a group of children of the same age were playing with slingshots in the woods, beating birds, catching bugs, playing wildly, and getting dirty all over.

A boy named Dahu asked Li Ji: "Li Ji, I heard that your stepmother is selling steamed stuffed buns. The business is very good. She must have made a lot of money, right?"

Li Jizheng was staring at a sparrow parked on the tree, and when he took aim, he wanted to hit it with a slingshot. Hearing Dug's words, he said indifferently, "I don't know!"

"Why don't you know? The buns she makes every day are sold out? My mother said that if they are sold out, it means that she has earned money! Will the money she earns be used by you? My mother said that your stepmother is a powerful Yes, I will definitely not care about you, let alone give you money..." Du Hu was still chattering.

Li Ji let go of the slingshot, and the small stones used as ammunition flew out. Unfortunately, Li Ji's technique was not good, and he didn't even scratch the sparrow's hair, let alone hit it. But the sparrow was frightened and flew away. Ran.

Li Ji clicked his tongue and said regretfully, "Missed again!"

"Li Ji! Did you hear what I said?" Dui asked dissatisfied.

"What did you say?" Li Ji really didn't pay attention to what Duo said.

"Let me tell you! Your stepmother made a lot of money selling steamed stuffed buns, so she definitely won't give it to you. Are you willing?" Duhu said.

Li Ji curled his lips and said arrogantly: "I ask her for money, will she give it? I'll beat her to death! If she can't beat her, then beat her sister! My father gave her money, don't think I don't know, if she dares Withholding my money, I will never make it easy for her."

"That's what you said, but she really didn't give it to you, so can you still grab it?" Dumb rolled his eyes and said.

"Why can't I rob her? Her money is mine! I'm my father's only son. If I really rob her money, she can't do anything about it. My father won't stand by her." Li Ji said as a matter of course .

"I don't believe it! Unless you can come up with fifty cash tomorrow, no, I will show you the money, otherwise I don't believe that you can really get the money from your stepmother." Du Hu provoked him.

"Take it! If I really get the consistent money, then you will recognize me as the boss. If I can't get it, then I will recognize you as the boss! How about it?" Li Ji rolled his eyes and immediately thought of borrowing this matter To determine the position of his boss.

When Duhu heard this, he immediately agreed: "Okay! That's the deal! Remember, it's the consistent money. If you lose a penny, you will lose!"

Li Ji said boldly: "Absolutely not less! You just wait to recognize me as the boss."

Zhou Shichu didn't know that her hard-earned money was being targeted by Li Ji. She sold the steamed stuffed buns in the morning, and she had to tidy up the vegetable plot in the yard in the afternoon. With so many plants in her space, she must transplant some useful ones, such as peppers and tomatoes. Peppers and tomatoes already existed at this time, but people only regarded them as ornamental plants and did not eat them, and because their fruits were bright in color, they thought they were poisonous.

Zhou Shichu didn't have this concern, so he would naturally add these two dishes to his recipe.

The original owner used to be too lazy to cook, and Aunt Qian was busy with housework, so the vegetable plot in the yard was only half cultivated, and some green vegetables were planted, but it was not enough for the family to eat.

When Zhou Shichu came, they would not waste such a nearby land. In just a few days, the vegetable field in the yard was reclaimed by them, and they only needed to tidy it up again before they could plant vegetables.
