Chapter 170
The past few days have been extremely unsatisfactory for Mrs. Liu, and she can hear people talking about the Tang family wherever she goes.

Those women who would flatter her in the past, now prefer to hang out with Luo Chunhua.

Now that the Cheng family is prosperous, the people in the village are going to curry favor with Luo Chunhua.

At home, Wang Xiuhua would reply to Liu Shi from time to time, which made Liu Shi feel unhappy.

"Have you heard? Which shop of the Tang family is in the town? It's big, and it's next to the river. It is said that there are boxes on the second floor. Without this number, you can't go there!" Someone gestured with a number.

When the people around saw it, they all gasped, "Really?"

"Can I fool you?" The man gave the people around him a direct look, as if he owned the shop, "I've seen it with my own eyes!"

"Let's not talk about the second floor, even this floor we can't afford it! A table costs at least a few tens of Wen, and the more expensive ones cost hundreds of Wen!" He shook his head, "We can only eat sesame seed cakes to relieve ourselves." I'm hungry!"

However, even though most people in the village have never eaten at the Tang family's shop, they still smell the aroma from afar.

I have to say that this hot pot is really fragrant, even if you are separated by several streets, you can smell the tempting smell.

But these days, apart from the wealthy households in the town and the merchants on the wharf, how can the average countryman be willing to spend tens of pennies for a meal!But even so, there are still a lot of people going to Tang's hot pot restaurant, like the owners of many shops in the town, who are regular customers here.

"This Tang family is really well-off, recruiting people and opening a shop!" Someone sighed, "If the Su family hadn't divorced at the beginning, I'm afraid they would be lucky too!"

"This shop is said to be a dowry for that girl of the Tang family. The shop originally cost 200 taels!"

Liu Shi listened, and took a breath of air.

200 two?
so much!
In fact, Wang Xiuhua also has a shop in the town, but the seats are mediocre, and the annual rent is only a few taels of silver, which is naturally not comparable to the current income of the Tang family.

The most important thing is that Wang Xiuhua is still a little clever. She will not give most of the money to Liu Shi, so Liu Shi has not figured out how much dowry Wang Xiuhua brought.

A few days ago, Su Ting took Wang Xiuhua's maid as his concubine, and Wang Xiuhua was crying and making trouble, making the Su family go crazy.

Suddenly Liu felt a little regretful!
If his son Su Ting hadn't divorced the Tang family back then, wouldn't Tang Mi's things now belong to their family?Moreover, compared to Wang Xiuhua, Tang Mi was more well-behaved and more obedient. At that time, his son asked Tang Mi to go east, but Tang Mi didn't dare to look south!The most important thing is that Tang Mi also listened to Su Ting's words, otherwise he would not have agreed to this marriage at the beginning.

But now...

Liu Shi thought of Tang Mi's face, and soon lost the thought.

Although the Tang family seems to be well-off now, it is difficult for Tang Mi to marry if she grows up like this!

Wang Xiuhua's appearance is much better than Tang Mi's.

But what if Tang Mi is made a concubine? ...

Liu Shi suddenly fell into deep thought.

………………

Compared to Liu's entanglement, Wei Maimiao was also very nervous.

Her elder brother Wei Changgong sent a letter back from the front line. It is said that when General Gu's men returned to Shanghe Village, they specially helped to bring it back.

Wei Maimiao was surprised and delighted, but looking at the thick stack of letters, he was dumbfounded.

She is illiterate, and there is no one in the family who can read!
Now, Wei Maimiao was a little dumbfounded.

It's just that this is a family letter after all, Wei Maimiao didn't want others to know, and finally went to Tang's house with his mother Zhang when it was dark.

Tang Shu is almost ten years old now, and he is the best in knowledge among the students in the village.

And because Tang Shu has bought a lot of books over the years, he knows a lot of characters.

When Wei Maimiao talked to the Tang family, Tang Mi led them to see Tang Shu.

Now that the shop in the town is gradually getting on the right track, Tang Mi doesn't have to stay in the town every day. The shop has Che Wu's daughter-in-law Xu Guifang and Huang Gui to help watch it, so it's no big deal.

Tang Mi is not the kind of person who is extremely diligent. She prefers the quietness of the countryside.

Wei Changgong told Wei Maimiao that he narrowly escaped death this time and lost a leg, so he was going back to the countryside!However, the imperial court still gave preferential treatment to these soldiers, and this time gave him money to support him in retirement!
Wei Changgong also said, let the family not have to worry, it will be great if he can come back alive.

Wei Maimiao and Zhang's tears fell when they heard this.

In fact, as Wei Changgong said, when Wei Changgong went to Shuzhou at the beginning, the family had already prepared for the news of his death.But now Wei Changgong has lost a leg, but he is still alive, which is already a blessing for the Wei family.

In fact, even though the Wei family could understand these things, Tang Mi didn't know how to comfort them.

"Don't cry!" Tang Mi said to Wei Mai Miao, "If brother Chang Gong comes back and has no work to do, I'll teach him to weave baskets and knapsacks!"

"Although these things can't be sold at high prices, they can still sell some!"

The Tang's grocery store was closed, so most of the people who bought these things went to the Huang's to buy them.But the Huang family is not like the Tang family before. There are many goods sold in the shop, and you can choose from them.

If Wei Changgong is willing to make up more and sell them, although he won't be rich, it is still possible to support his family.

Wei Maimiao also knew that Tang Mi was comforting herself, she burst into tears and laughed, "Then I will thank you on behalf of elder brother first!"

"Tell me what to thank you for?" Tang Mi said, "Actually, we should all thank Brother Chang Gong!"

"If it weren't for them to protect our home and country, how would we be able to live a peaceful life?" When Tang Mi said these words, it was indeed from the heart.

This ancient times is no better than modern times. When she looked at the history, she knew how hard the people lived during the war.

So for soldiers, no matter in that era, she admires them from the bottom of her heart.

People like Wei Changgong who came down from the battlefield should not be starved to death, nor should they be looked down upon!

Wei Maimiao was slightly absent-minded for a moment as he listened.

These words have never been spoken to anyone in their family.

After all, in the eyes of these people, they only look at their own one-acre three-point land, how could they think of this?

"You really think so?" Wei Maimiao lowered his head and said in a daze, "My brother went to the battlefield because his family was poor!"

"He went to join the army, not only can he eat enough, but also can use money to support his family!"

Speaking of which, Wei Changgong didn't have such a great idea to join the army, he was just afraid of starving to death.

Tang Mi listened to Wei Maimiao's words, but nodded in comfort, "Of course I think so!"

"No matter what idea Brother Changgong used to join the army, he was indeed protecting Shuzhou. How can this be faked?"
