Chapter 116
Zhuang Dashan glared: "Don't talk nonsense, I don't have that intention. Besides, her ex-husband is an official, and I don't want to get into trouble."

"It's not a problem for you to be like this all the time."

"Only women can be widowed, but there is no need for men to be single?"

"You don't understand. Men and women are different. They will suffocate after a long time."

"That's you, huh!"

Hu Hai smiled: "Forget it if you don't want to look for me, just stay alone slowly."

The two of them drank until the evening. Hu Hai couldn't speak clearly and insisted on sending Zhuang Dashan back.

Shitou settled him and sent Hu Hai back.

He sat next to his father, caressing his face, and almost burst into tears.

How could he not be in pain? How could a man who could accompany his wife to death forget her so easily.

Especially knowing that she found a new love so quickly, one can imagine the pain in her heart.

Five days later, the workers came to work. The farmer's sixty acres of land were harvested, plowed, planted, and everyone started working on the workshop.

There is work to do and little to think about.

Zhuang Dashan is responsible for lotus roots and lotus seeds. Although the sales of these two items are not as good as those of sauces and pickles, the results are also good.

The main reason is that Qin Yue hyped it up well. She wrote the benefits of eating lotus roots and lotus seeds on paper and sent them to vendors so that they could explain them to diners.

I didn’t make lotus root starch, it was too labor-intensive, so I mainly focused on cold lotus root slices, rock sugar glutinous rice lotus root, and lotus seed medicinal food.

These are made and sold on the same day, very fresh, but a little expensive.

Five cents per pound of lotus root was sold to her for 25 cents, while the merchant sold it for 35 cents. The glutinous rice lotus root was sold for [-] cents, while the merchant sold it for [-] cents. A bowl of medicinal food was fifty cents, including soup and water, with a lot of added ingredients. Herbal medicines can nourish the body and Qi, and are most suitable for the elderly and women.

Nowadays, as long as it is produced by the dealer, diners outside will blindly believe and follow it.

They have already tasted the sweetness. Not only is it delicious, but it is also really good for the body.

So far, people from outside cannot go to the dealer to buy goods, except for Hu Pengcheng from the county town and Old Man Lu from the south of Jeju.

For this reason, some people are thinking hard and want to settle in Shanshui Village.

Because the village chief goes out to sell goods every day and is not at home during the day, he is blocked at home by many people at night.

Hu Hai is in a difficult situation. In the past, the village was poor and no one wanted to come. But now, so many people want to come.

There are still five pieces of homestead land given by the Yamen, and they are not on the roadside of the village. This does not affect their determination to settle here, as long as they have land.

There are too many monks and too little rice. Let's auction it. A piece of homestead land of one acre was sold for twenty acres of money.

Of course, he would not embezzle the money and hand it over directly to the Yamen.

In this way, five more families were added to the village.

When I came in for the dealer's goods, I signed documents with the dealer while building a house, and started selling the goods.

Qin Yue and Shitou had been staying in the house for the whole time and didn't go to the back much.

Zhuang Dashan was busy behind him. When he raised his eyes and saw a man, his face changed immediately.

Who?Xiang’s husband!

She and this man were talking and laughing in front of the grocery store that day. He could see it clearly and he would never forget it in his life.

He didn't hum, let alone tell Qin Yue and Shitou.

If this man can come to the dealer to batch goods, he must have settled in the village.

Is Mr. Xiang here too?

Zhuang Dashan closed his eyes, clenched his fists, and tried to adjust his emotions.

At night, he lay alone on the kang, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep. He had been like this for several days.

When working, the circles under his eyes were dark, and Qin Yue both noticed it when they were eating together.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

"No, it's nothing, I just didn't sleep well."

Perceptually, something is wrong!

"Dad, what you said is that we are a family, and we have to handle things together."

Zhuang Dashan was questioned by his son and had no choice but to tell him.

"Your mother, that man, comes to our house every day to batch goods."

"Oh? They moved here?"

"That should be the case. Wan'er didn't know him, so she signed the paperwork when she saw that his household registration was from here."

"My mother has gone too far. If you leave, don't come back. Isn't this intentional to make people angry?"

Zhuang Dashan sighed: "It's good that you know, there's no harm in being on guard." Qin Yue snorted coldly: "A grocery store can't afford to be a monster. It's just a fancy for our products. As for the Mr. Xiang, maybe you really want to get married, or maybe there are other reasons, just take it one step at a time, I'm here, you don't have to worry."

The next day, Qin Yue stood at the seller's side and watched with her hands behind her back.

She was wearing very ordinary clothes and stood inconspicuously among the crowd. Those who didn't know better thought she was also a wholesaler.

After a while, the man came.

Ever since he entered the workshop, his eyes had been restless, looking around as if looking for something.

He kept asking Qin Rui this and that, and being attentive from time to time. Qin Rui yelled impatiently, and then became more honest.

Outside the gate, sheds were being built on both sides. Shi Shi was right, it was too messy here.

"Liang Dong!"

"Ma'am, I'm here!"

"I'll give you a mission."

"Madam please tell me."

"In the dark, I watched the people who came to batch the goods, especially that man, and reported every move to me at any time if there was anything unusual."

"Yes"

At this time, trabecular movement came in handy.

Mrs. Huang and Mr. Qian didn't come over much during this time, so they knew she was busy.

But today, Qian came alone.

She found Qin Yue with a basket in her hand.

"Come, try the sweet-scented osmanthus cake I made."

Qin Yue picked one up from the basket and took a bite: "Well, it tastes good, and the sweetness is just right. It's not like the ones sold outside, which are cloyingly sweet."

"Have you done any work lately?"

"No, I can't hire you. If you have the skills, I still want to lie down for a while."

Qian laughed and looked outside. Except for Shitou, who was reading a book in the courtyard, there was no one else.

Then he whispered: "Let me tell you something."

"Ok?"

"I have a sister. Unfortunately, her husband had an accident. Since she had no children with her, her husband's family couldn't accommodate her, so my parents took her back."

Qin Yue understood instantly and immediately grinned.

"You want to give her to my father-in-law to make peace with her?"

Qian nodded tenderly: "My sister is the youngest in our family. She is in her early thirties, about the same age as you. She is gentle and virtuous, knowledgeable and courteous. My parents don't ask for a good family background, but only ask for good people. .”

"You have found the right person. My father-in-law has a good character and family background. With me here, I will definitely not let her suffer in terms of food, drink, housing and transportation."

"I knew you would say that."

"It's just that wealthy families are all about being well-matched. My father-in-law is just a weakling. Will your family be willing to do that?"

"It's me, I'm the one who fell in love with Donghai. You see, we have never been blushing since we got married, and he has never taken a concubine. He is devoted to me. I trust my vision."

"Okay, pick a day and ask her to come to my house as a guest."

"Don't you tell Zhuang Dashan about this?"

"That's bullshit. He doesn't want to look for her at all. Let's let your sister see each other first. If she is willing, I'll be here."

Qian didn't know what to say: "Can you be your father-in-law's boss?"

Mrs. Qin rolled her eyes at her: "Don't you know everything about my family?"

"But the melon that is twisted is not sweet."

"If your sister is a good person, how can he not be tempted? Plus I'm mediating in the middle. There's a high probability that this will happen. It all depends on whether they have a compatibility or not."

"Sure, it's settled, I'll send someone to pick her up tomorrow."

The two finalized the matter and instantly became happy, and laughter could be heard in the room.

Shitou curled his lips. Whenever they came, he would give way.

Three days later, a guest came to the dealer.

Shitou found out about it early in the morning. He was happy and disappointed, and his mood was very complicated.

He cooked the dishes himself and worked in the kitchen.

Qin Yue was in the living room, talking with Qian and her sister.
