The first peasant daughter of the green garden

Chapter 63 Selling Jujube Peel (4)
"Aunt Nian, how much do you think this wild jujube skin should sell for a catty?"

"My son sells it for 100 Wen a catty. I think it sells so well, so it should be able to sell for 150 Wen."

"Well, according to this calculation, it should be able to sell for 30 taels of silver."

Aunt Nian took out nine taels of silver from her pocket, "This is the money I got from selling jujube skins last time, but my son asked for a store fee."

Li Caiwei calculated in her heart that the total income from the wild jujube skin was this amount, around ten taels of silver, and it would cost about the same to go to a shop for a tael.It's just that Aunt Nian gave it all to herself, and she hurriedly shared half, "Aunt Nian, we agreed to share it equally between the two of us, and I can't take advantage of you."

"I didn't help much last time. You were busy all by yourself. Your family is not well-off now. You save it and use it first."

"Aunt Nian, I must give it to you. This is what we agreed." Li Caiwei forced the money to Aunt Nian, but Aunt Nian desperately refused.Aunt Nian stuffed the money back to Li Caiwei, "I know the situation in your family. Right now, there is no food. You have to buy food in your field. Keep this money. If you earn money this time, you can give it to me."

Li Caiwei had no choice but to nod, the family really had no money right now, so she reluctantly said, "Okay, this time I sold the wild jujube, we will share it equally." The two of them worked hard all afternoon before they packed all the wild jujube skins.

"Jiacheng daughter-in-law, I have to tell you something. My son said that if he helps to sell, he wants [-] points. I feel sorry for you. If I want to say [-] points, if you seven my son three, I will count gone."

"Aunt Nian, how can this work? Your son really needs money for his help, but it's a bit too much for him to ask for three to seven cents. You have worked so hard for so many days, how could you not have a penny? I think otherwise, your son Take two points, you four points, I four points."

Aunt Nian quickly waved her hand, "You don't know, my youngest daughter-in-law is very good at planning. Since my son proposed three points, let's go three points. I am not short of money. I wanted to go to the county seat with you tomorrow." , look at my grandson, but I won’t go if there is something at home, I’m a daughter-in-law, can you bring me something for my son?”

"Aunt Nian, if you have anything to bring, just tell me."

When she said this, Aunt Nian lifted the corner of her clothes and wiped away her tears, "The family becomes a daughter-in-law, you don't know that my sons are all unfilial sons who married their wives and forgot their mothers."

Everyone in the village knew that Aunt Nian had three sons, the eldest son was a petty official in the town, the second son opened an inn in the town, and the third son opened a grocery store in the county.Aunt Nian's family has dozens of acres of land, and the two elders grow vegetables at home, earning tens of taels of silver all year round. Many people are envious, but they never thought that Aunt Nian would still have such suffering.

Li Caiwei hurriedly moved a stool and handed it to her, "Aunt Nian, sit down, don't be sad, what happened?"

Aunt Nian sighed, "The last time I went to the county seat, I wanted to stay with my youngest son for a few more days to take care of my newly pregnant daughter-in-law, but who knew that my son-in-law detested me and secretly asked my son to let me come back."

"Aunt Nian, don't be sad. If you go to the county this time, you can ask again. Maybe your daughter-in-law has something to hide." These are just words to comfort Aunt Nian. The real situation must be that the daughter-in-law hates herself mother-in-law.

Aunt Nian shook her head, "A few days ago, the old man broke a leg. The doctor in the village came to see him and said that he would not be able to do heavy work in the future. The rice harvest will be harvested soon. I want to go to the county town to ask my son. Are you free?"

"Uncle Nian is sick? Why don't you tell me."

Aunt Nian shook her hand, "My child, you are too busy at home, and I don't want to bother you."

"Aunt Nian, you've helped me so much since I got married, which is what I should do. I'll ask Jiacheng to come and help if your family has any work."

Aunt Nian sighed, "If this old man falls, I'm afraid he won't live long." After finishing speaking, she couldn't help wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, "It's often said that children are raised to guard against old age, but who would have given birth to three children? Dutiful son, his father has been ill in bed for so long, no one came to see him."

"Aunt Nian, don't be sad, maybe something is going on at home." Li Caiwei comforted her.

"My daughter-in-law, don't comfort me, I know it well." "Uncle Nian is sick, so you can rest assured to take care of him at home, and I will send him to the county myself."

Aunt Nian nodded, "It's just that I still want to ask you to send something to my daughter-in-law."

"Okay, I'll tidy up now. When the carriage comes over, just bring me the things." When she went to the county town, many things at home and outside of the house had to fall on Jiacheng's head.

Li Caiwei packed a few clothes in the closet, and said to Liu Jiacheng: "Jiacheng, the ducks have to be fed every three hours, and they have to come back at five or six in the evening. You have to eat the vegetables in the vegetable field." I often go to have a look, lest there be mice or rabbits to eat."

Liu Jiacheng abruptly took out the jade pendant from his pocket, "Post it."

Seeing that it was the jade pendant that was not pawned last time, Li Caiwei immediately stuffed it back, "Jiacheng, this is your belonging. Since you always carry it with you, it must be very important to you. You keep it. It is sold this time." Suanzao, there must be no shortage of money at home."

The corners of Liu Jiacheng's mouth twitched, seeing that the corners of her clothes were torn, many holes were patched in the clothes, and the hair rope was cut out by herself with rotten clothes. She didn't dislike it, didn't complain, and didn't even care about her appearance.In my heart, there was a pity that there is such a woman in this world.The heart that was once filled seems to be gradually empty.His deep and indifferent eyes fell on her, "Buy some more clothes, don't worry about the house." After speaking, he immediately turned his head away, not wanting to be held by a plain hand.

Seeing her small face upturned, clear eyes and white teeth, the hand holding the hem of his clothes suddenly gradually loosened.It was the first time his heart was moved like this, and it seemed that he had never been so moved by a woman in his life.Seeing the disappointed look in her eyes, she couldn't help walking forward, and said softly, "What's wrong?"

"Jiacheng, Uncle Nian fell down a few days ago, I think Aunt Nian has lost a lot of weight these days, but I can't help you much."

"Don't worry too much."

"How can I not be worried? My aunt has helped me a lot since I got married. This time I was anxious when I heard that something happened in her family, so I thought this time the county could call his son back."

"Well, be careful." Leaning into his arms, "Jiacheng, you have time to visit Aunt Nian. It's getting late, I have to go, otherwise I don't know where to stay when the city gate is closed .”

"I go with you."

"Huh?" Li Caiwei was a little surprised, inexplicably happy in her heart, but worried again in a blink of an eye, "But what should I do at home?"

"I'll take you to the gate of the city, and I'll hurry back."

From the moment she got married, she knew that she not only had to take care of others, but also him.On weekdays, he would take care of himself a little, but this time he felt that he was caring for the first time.I was a little worried about bringing so many jujube cakes with me. "Okay." Before leaving, Aunt Nian told her the address of her son, and took an old hen and some supplements.Li Caiwei comforted Aunt Nian and said that she would definitely bring the things with her.
