Dressed as a mother-in-law, she leads the whole family to turn over

Chapter 7 Motivation and Change

The shopkeeper glared at the waiter fiercely, "Stupid! Even the Tang family, the richest man in Yan Dashan Town, can't eat this kind of salt! Where can she get it? Only passing merchants can get such good things. I will take them away." When the time comes, if someone gets really angry and makes the matter bigger, how can I reconcile it? Will the shop still be able to do business?"

If the other party had exchanged more salt, he might have had some evil intentions, but they only gave him a pound. It wasn't worth taking such a huge risk for such a small amount.

Jiang Ning had already thought about this problem when she was changing things, so she only took out a pound, which could arouse the other person's thoughts without making anyone attack her.

After changing so many things, she couldn't take them away at all, so she had to stand not far from the grocery store and wait for Yang Datou to come and look for her.

When Yang Datou was carrying food on his back and saw Jiang Ning piled with things around him, he felt heartbroken, "Auntie, you, you, you. How much did you spend on these things?"

Jiang Ning shook his head, "I got something in exchange for it. I dug some good stuff in the mountains yesterday. I just bargained with the shopkeeper. I didn't get any money, so I just asked for stuff. The twenty coins you gave me haven't been touched, and I still have it in my pocket."

The surprise came so suddenly, Yang Datou smiled like a fool. The mother and son walked back hard with a bunch of things. It was obviously a journey of more than half an hour, but they were forced to walk for more than an hour, carrying a heavy load. The scorching sun entered the village at noon.

Jiang Ning stopped at the entrance of the village and asked Yang Datou: "Wait a minute, if someone sees us buying a bunch of things when we enter the village now, can we still hold on?"

Their two shabby houses couldn't even protect themselves from rats, let alone humans.

Yang Datou suddenly woke up as if someone had poured cold water on him, "Aniang is right, you can't enter the village like this! You look at things here first, I will carry the food back, and then let Erdan come over to help."

The adults in the village generally take the main road, but the children have their own paths, which are ditches, slopes or bushes that adults cannot walk on. It is easy to encounter snakes and four-legged monsters when walking in such places, but you can avoid the villagers.

Yang Datou went back and brought back Yang Erdan and Liu Ye. The three of them had leaves hanging on their heads and clothes, and they didn't know which woods or grass they had gone into.

Seeing so many things around Jiang Ning, Yang Erdan and Liu Ye's eyes shone. Without Jiang Ning opening his mouth, they rushed forward and carried all the things around Jiang Ning, which made Jiang Ning very embarrassed.

The three of them returned the same way. Jiang Ning thought for a while and decided to walk on the main road carrying an empty backpack. She would have to meet a few villagers along the way. Although everyone rejected her, they couldn't help but be curious when they saw her carrying the basket into the village. Those who were bolder would He even leaned closer and stretched his neck to explore his head, but Jiang Ning gave him a fierce glare and then shrank back.

After Jiang Ning left, several women gathered around, "Have you seen it all? What did she bring back?"

The woman surrounded by the middle curled her lips and said, "What do you bring? Nothing! I think no one is willing to give alms even if she goes to beg for food!"

When everyone heard this, they all agreed and stopped talking about Jiang.

Jiang Ning had no idea that she just walked around in front of the villagers and caused a lot of gossip. When she returned home, Yang Datou and the other two people had already put the things into the room where she slept, and piled them up in the corner of the yard. bamboo.

She glanced at it, and Liu Yexing hurriedly brought her a bowl of hot wild vegetable porridge, "Mommy, eat something first."

So positive! Jiang Ning glanced at her twice, then sat down and ate all the bowl of wild vegetable porridge in a few gulps. It seemed that she was numb after eating too much, and she couldn't feel anything at all.

After filling his stomach, he lay down under the shade of a tree, feeling sleepy as the summer mountain breeze blew, and soon Jiang Ning fell asleep.

Yang Datou and others didn't dare to make any noise when they saw that she was sleeping. They all went into the house and started taking stock of things.

Liuye lowered his voice and exclaimed again and again, "How much did you exchange for those melon seeds? Why did you buy so many things?" Yang Datou made a gesture of silence, "I exchanged seventy-four cents and bought two cans for four. We had seventy cents left. I used fifty cents to buy five kilograms of grain, which was enough for us to eat for a few days. I originally gave my grandma twenty cents to buy salt, but grandma exchanged the items for salt and sugar. There are other things, and she still has twenty coins on her that are useless.”

Yang Erdan was so happy, "So we still have twenty coins! Brother, why didn't you take my mother to see the doctor?"

Yang Datou's expression froze and he patted his head in annoyance, "It's all my fault. I was so happy in the town that I forgot about it! Tomorrow, tomorrow I will take my mother-in-law to see the doctor."

It costs five cents to see a doctor to check your pulse. If you want to get medicine, you have to pay extra. Now they have twenty cents. Even if they can't get medicine, they can still know what A Niang's condition is.

Liu Ye said: "Datou, since I have to go to the town tomorrow, I will pick some more melon seeds now, and then take them to the town to sell them tomorrow. In exchange for some more money, I can also buy medicine for my mother-in-law."

"Yi Zi, thank you!" Yang Datou was so moved.

Liu Ye looked away embarrassedly, "Thank you for everything! We are all a family, and your mother-in-law is my mother-in-law!"

In the past, she really didn't like her mother-in-law, and was particularly afraid of her. She couldn't help but tremble when she saw her. Unexpectedly, when her mother-in-law woke up after being seriously injured, she not only stopped scolding her for causing trouble, but also made money for the family. For this reason, she Everyone has to find a way to save her mother-in-law.

Yang Erdan hurriedly said: "I'll go too, I'll go too, and I'll go help too."

Yang Datou objected, "Just let Ye Zi take Xiaoya there. There are three iron and four villages over there, so we don't need so many people. You can help me build a straw shed. Let's try to put up the shed in the next two days. At least there is a place." It can protect you from wind and rain.”

Yang Erdan looked disappointed, but when he looked down at the newly purchased things, he felt motivated again.

The two brothers had nothing to do and went to the bamboo forest to cut some bamboo.

It was almost two o'clock in the afternoon when Jiang Ning woke up. Yang Datou and Yang Erdan had already tied some bamboos, and Jiang Ning quickly got up to help.

A simple straw shed is made by digging four small holes in the ground and inserting bamboos as pillars.

Jiang Ning felt that it was unstable, so he dug several more holes. The entire roof tilted to one side, and the gaps between the bamboos on it were made denser. Although it was more time-consuming, it could last longer.

The three of them completed the frame of the shed. It was getting dark again, and while there was still some light, the brothers bundled the cut thatch into bundles and threw it on the roof. They spread as much as they could.

Liu Ye led the others home under the stars. They had come back several times in the afternoon, and now the kitchen house was full of melons and the stench was overwhelming.

A group of children didn't mind the smell after knowing that this thing could be exchanged for money, and they worked very hard. When the ash was not enough, they burned it again. After two days of tossing in the stove, one side of the wall collapsed completely, but no one cared.

Everyone worked hard to deal with Gualou. With their help, Jiang Ning was obviously much more relaxed.

The next day, she and Yang Datou took the melon seeds they roasted last night and went out early.
