118. Chapter 118: Savings exceeded five hundred taels!

Jiang Yu came with a grand motorcade and left with a grand motorcade.

The villagers didn't even do the work in the fields, and scrambled to surround them to watch, watching the motorcade full of goods leave the village, their eyes full of envy.

"Good guy, dozens of carriages, this trip is afraid of making a lot of money!"

"Why is the luck of that widow Jiang so good? It's fine to cooperate with the restaurant in the town, and there are so many carriages coming to her house to pull goods."

"Yes, yes, no wonder she was willing to spend so much money to hire people to work some time ago. It turns out that she is going to make a lot of money!"

Mentioning the matter of hiring people to work last time, Li Dayong's wife scolded angrily: "Pah, she is proud of making some money. I have never seen such a stingy person! No wonder the Old Li family kicked her out. She is a heartless person, preferring to hire people from other villages to make this little money, rather than hiring us fellow villagers!"

She deliberately made her voice very loud, but no one echoed her on the side.

On the contrary, several kind-hearted women spoke up to refute: "Third Aunt, you can't say that. The old women hired by Xiaoxiao's mother are all families who are about to be unable to open the pot. Xiaoxiao's mother is doing a good deed. Your family is not short of food or drink, why do you still want to compete with others for that only livelihood."

"Who said my family is not short of food or drink?" Li Dayong's wife refuted dissatisfiedly, "My family has two sons, half-grown boys eat the poor father to death, and the family is almost out of food!"

Jiang Wei walked over to close the courtyard gate, and when she heard this, she sneered loudly: "According to Third Aunt, I saw you carrying a basket of brown rice to Shuangzhai Village a few days ago. You are out of food, so why do you still have brown rice to send to Shuangzhai Village?"

Shuangzhai Village is the closest village to Yuhe Village. Li Dayong's wife married from Shuangzhai Village. She happened to have time to go to the mountain to find limestone for the next calcination, and happened to run into Li Dayong's wife secretly carrying a full basket of brown rice along the mountain road to Shuangzhai Village.

As soon as these words came out, a thin old woman jumped up: "What! I said why there was a bag of brown rice missing in the cellar, it turns out you stinking woman stole it!"

The old woman scolded and rushed up to tear Li Dayong's wife's hair.

"Mother, I, I was wrong..." Li Dayong's wife saw that her secret act was exposed, panicked, and hurriedly lowered her head to admit her mistake, "Mother, I will never dare again..."

"Pah, you stinking woman, this is how many times you have stolen food from home to subsidize your maiden family!" The old woman grabbed her ear hard in front of many villagers, scolding her all the way home, "Let's see if I don't beat you to death today, you wasteful woman!"

Everyone looked at Li Dayong's wife who was dragged away all the way, shaking their heads helplessly. This wife is too unclear. Although it is understandable to subsidize the maiden family in private, she can't steal such a large bag of food from home.

A large bag of food, or the most filling brown rice, in this era when food is more precious than anything else, this is sucking the blood of the husband's family to raise the maiden family!

Everyone's topic shifted from the Jiang family's business to Li Dayong's wife. After the discussion, everyone dispersed and did what they had to do.

Only Widow Xu stood not far away, looking at Jiang Wei who turned back to the room, her eyes mixed with jealousy and hatred...

Jiang Wei entered the room and saw her daughter staring at a table full of silver, giggling.

She walked over and tapped the table with her fingers: "What are you thinking about in your little head again, drool is almost flowing out?"

Jiang Xiaoxiao came back to her senses from the giggle, wiped the non-existent drool from the corner of her mouth, and muttered: "Mother, with so much silver, can we buy a shop in the town?"

Before Jiang Yu left, he settled all the money for the snow cakes and ice cream ordered this time.

Five thousand snow cakes, twenty-five wen each, totaling one hundred and twenty-five taels. Ten thousand ice creams, fifty wen each, totaling five hundred taels... Except for the one hundred taels of deposit paid last time, this time a total of five hundred and twenty-five taels of silver was earned!

Jiang Yu was also afraid that the amount of money was too large for them to store, so he unified it into ten-tael snow silver ingots.

But even so, it was enough to exchange for more than fifty snow silver ingots!

Looking at the white snow silver that was almost unable to be placed on the table, Jiang Xiaoxiao was so excited that she was about to jump up. Her family finally had money!

More than five hundred taels of silver, money that many people can't earn in several lifetimes!

With so much money, whether it is building a house or buying a shop in the town, there is no need to worry!

Jiang Wei looked at her helplessly: "Okay, let's consider the shop after autumn. I will go to Shopkeeper Zhou to ask which shop in the town is going to be sold."

"Hmm, good!" Jiang Xiaoxiao nodded repeatedly.

After autumn, the weather will gradually cool down, and there may not be as many people eating ice cream and snow cakes as there are now, so they can also have time to choose a shop.

"Mother, the shop we buy doesn't need to be as big and luxurious as Yuelai Restaurant. An ordinary one-story shop is fine. Choose a good location, with a courtyard and housing behind the shop, so that we can live in the town when we have time in the future..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao counted with her fingers and chattered a lot.

Jiang Wei rubbed her head with a bit of doting: "Okay, okay, all up to you."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was talking about the location of the future shop when a voice suddenly sounded outside the courtyard:

"Third Sister-in-law, Er Ya, are you at home..."

Jiang Xiaoxiao was stunned. Who is calling them? This voice is still a bit familiar?

When she went out to see, a person wrapped tightly from head to toe stood outside the courtyard, revealing only a pair of triangular eyes.

Jiang Xiaoxiao recognized that the person wrapped tightly in front of her was Li Xiufen through these eyes inherited from the Old Li Woman.

But what is she doing here?

Jiang Xiaoxiao stood in the courtyard without moving, and didn't step forward to open the door for Li Xiufen.

Li Xiufen saw Jiang Xiaoxiao standing there with a cold face, and walked up anxiously, shouting at Jiang Xiaoxiao across the half-person-high fence: "Er Ya, I am your aunt, don't you remember me? Open the door and let me in."

Jiang Xiaoxiao deliberately stepped back in fear: "You, you weirdo wrapped in black, talk nonsense, I don't have an aunt!"

"Do you think I want to be wrapped like this!" Li Xiufen gritted her teeth in anger. If it weren't for the fear of being seen by the villagers, would she wrap herself tightly in the hot weather?

In the hot weather, walking all the way from the Li family to here, she was already sweating all over, and the clothes on her back were soaked with sweat, sticky and uncomfortable to death.

She had long lost the patience to deal with Jiang Xiaoxiao, and said impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, I am really your aunt, open the door and let me in!" ===== CHAPTER 119 =====
