Chapter 72 The benefits of the Han family

"Dong dong dong."

Lao Mei's family was sitting in the yard, finishing dinner while it was still dark, when suddenly there was a knock on the door of their yard.

"Who?"

Mei Qian went to open the door and carefully opened it a crack, and saw an older woman standing at the door of her courtyard.

"Grandma Yuan?"

Mei Qian shouted softly, and when she saw that the other party was holding a small basket in his hand, which was covered with cloth, she welcomed him in without saying a word.

"Old sister~"

As soon as Mrs. Yuan entered the yard, she immediately laughed out loud when she met Mrs. Mei's gaze.

This old lady from the Yuan family settled in Taohua Village with Mei Qian and the others.

Unlike the Mei family, who was allocated an open space and built their own house, the Yuan family came to this village and directly spent a sum of money from the village chief to buy the best green brick courtyard in the village and live in it.

It turned out that the place was lived by the wife of a landlord. Later, the eldest lady of the family discovered the place and gave her a mute drug and sold her.

The house became vacant, and because the old woman's mother-in-law and the village chief's wife were cousins, she asked the village chief to sell the yard.

No, it just so happened that the Yuan family fell in love with it at first sight when they came here. Even though they knew that the original family they lived in was not good, there was no better house in a short period of time, so they bought it.

This bluestone courtyard is just in front of Mei Qian's house.

At first glance, the Yuan family was a wealthy family. It was surprising that the old lady was able to chat with her grandma Mei Qian.

After all, not only the Yuan family came to this Peach Blossom Village, but many of them looked down upon Mei Qian and her family.

However, after asking around, it turned out that Mei Qian's family used to be farmers, which was not attractive to those wealthy households at all.

But this Yuan family is different.

"Hey, why are you here at this hour? Have you eaten?"

"Eat, it gets dark early, so I can save money on lights."

Old Mrs. Yuan walked to Old Mrs. Mei with a smile. Old Mrs. Mei stopped eating and took Old Mrs. Yuan directly into the main room to talk.

The rest of Lao Mei's family also quickly finished their dinner and went to work each other.

[Host, the #jingchun millet porridge + chives jade cake# you uploaded to the platform in the evening was exchanged by the exchanger from the orc plane with two kilograms of Lulu beast jerky. 】

Mei Qian's eyes lit up when she heard the oily Lulu beast meat again.

"Girl Qian, come into the house with a pot of hot water."

When Mei Qian heard Mrs. Mei calling her, she immediately responded, turned around, poured the hot water from the small stove in the kitchen into a teapot, and carried it to the main room.

However, when she entered, Mrs. Yuan had already stood up to leave. Mrs. Mei kindly asked her to stay, but she did not sit down and walked out. During this period, Mei Qian noticed that the basket that Mrs. Yuan had brought earlier was placed in her home.

"Sister, don't give it away, don't give it away."

"Oh, it's getting so dark. Although there are still a few steps to go back, I'm not worried, Erhu!"

Mrs. Mei shouted again at this time. Mei Erhu was about to go out to fetch water. When he heard Mrs. Mei's shout, he immediately put down the bucket.

"You give it to your Aunt Yuan."

"Oh, okay~"

He asked Mei Erhu to send Mrs. Yuan back. Mrs. Mei just came back. When she came back, she saw that Mei Qian was still in the main room. She poured a cup of hot water and asked with a smile: "Hey, what is that old lady from the Yuan family doing here?" ?”

"Let your sister-in-law Cui'er boil half a catty of Qiuli ointment."

"Then how do you count money?"

"The five taels of autumn pear ointment in the medical center cost eight taels of silver, but I only paid three and a half taels."

"Nai, are you not afraid of losing money?"

It's only eight taels in the market, and her milk is half off?
"What's the loss? I asked your sister-in-law about this autumn pear ointment in advance. She said she can make it and knows the cost, but it only takes time and firewood.

It's the season for eating pears, so even if you include all these, it doesn't cost much. The most expensive thing is just some other medicinal materials added to it. If I don't ask Cui'er about this clearly, how could I reveal it to Madam Wu? "

This Wu is the surname of Mrs. Yuan, and Mrs. Mei talked to Mei Qian about the situation in the Yuan family.

The old man of the Yuan family used to be the lecturer of Chengping Mansion. Later, when he got older, he resigned from the position of lecturer and returned to his hometown to open an academy. He also taught several Jinshi. He was famous and many people came to spend money to study. Even though I have saved a lot, I have a lot of wealth.

Among the three sons, only one was talented in reading. Unfortunately, one year in spring, he caught a cold and almost died. Later, he became ill and was unable to take the imperial examination. He ran the academy at home with his father.

The other two sons used the money earned from their father and brother's academy to do a lot of business privately, which has enriched the Yuan family's wealth a lot in the past few years.

The grandchildren are also doing their best. At present, the three grandchildren seem to have considerable talent in reading. However, they suddenly encountered this and ended up here.

As the seasons change, the men in the Yuan family are not in strong health and all suffer from coughs.

Originally, the Yuan family spent more than half of their money on settling down and buying a house. Now, because many people from the north have flocked to the south, all prices have remained high for a while. They must start to increase revenue and reduce expenditure immediately.

Mei Qian was shocked when she heard what her mother said.

The whole family is busy building a house these days, right?

Even when Mei Qian was busy, she helped transport bricks and so on, but it turned out that her mother-in-law even knew the old lady of the Yuan family, and she still talked so much?

Even the Qiuli ointment business has been negotiated?

"Um...how does sister-in-law's Qiuli ointment taste?"

Mei Qian suddenly remembered Cui'er's ghostly cooking skills, and couldn't help but think that her autumn pear paste tasted like that, right?
When Mei Qian asked, Mrs. Mei suddenly fell silent.

"Look back...why don't you help your sister-in-law order it?"

Mrs. Mei had no idea. After thinking about it, she could only rely on Mei Qian, the only one in the family who knew how to cook.

Mei Qian: "..."

Good guy, I should have known better that I wouldn't have asked and would have found a job for myself.

"If you do a good job helping your sister-in-law, I will buy you a piece of floral cloth later and let your mother make clothes for you~"

"Then I'll choose the color myself."

When Mei Qian heard Mrs. Mei talk about calico, all she could think about was the bright red and green colors. She was not sure about the aesthetics of her breasts.

"Row!"

After these words were settled, Mei Qian remembered that her grandma asked Han to contact Aunt Tao in the afternoon, so she took the opportunity to ask:

"By the way, grandma, would you ask my aunt to meet Aunt Tao? She is very good at this?"

Mei Qian only knew that when she was in the village, her aunt liked to listen to gossip and get into fights with some old women who spoke their own language.

Therefore, Mei Qian's worry is normal. Even Mrs. Mei said, "I'm not very good at it."

Mei Qian:? ?

"But the people who can hang out with your aunt are either of the same temperament as your aunt and not much smarter. Or they are kind-hearted people who can tell at a glance that your aunt is not very smart and don't care about her. "

Mei Qian was shocked by the reason behind Mrs. Mei's words.

I knock!

This wave of her breasts is in the atmosphere.

Then she heard Mrs. Mei say:

"If I can't get along with your aunt...I won't tell you everything, but most likely it's all because of deep thoughts. Your aunt is not willing to play tricks with such a person.

It is difficult for us to talk to such people, and we need to pay more attention to them when interacting with them.

There are still some left, either because they think your aunt is stupid and don't want to deal with her, or because they think people like your aunt are of no benefit to her and don't want to associate with them.

He is not an easy person to deal with. After all, if your aunt takes action, you will know whether this person can continue to get along with our family and how to deal with it~"

　Han: My mother believes in me!
　　Mrs. Mei: Yeah.

　　Mei Qian: emmmm
