Chapter 115 Old Lady Song Arrives
Not only did each family come alone, but several people came together.
Shen Xia looked at their happy smiling faces and asked curiously, "Why don't you go back?"
Uncle Yang and Aunt Yang said, "Thank you, Xiao Xia. I don't know what to say now. You haven't even sold it yet, but you're paying us first. I feel uneasy. How about this, you give us half of the money first?"
"You can give us the other half after it's sold." Uncle Yang was worried that if Shen Xia didn't sell such an expensive item, he would suffer a loss.
Even Aunt Liu next to her agreed after hearing this.
The other three followed suit.
As for what he said later, maybe he said it out of embarrassment, but he still spoke up.
Shen Xia didn't expect Uncle Yang to make such a suggestion.
He is really an honest and simple person!
Shen Xia smiled and said, "Uncle Yang, I appreciate your kindness, but this first batch of goods, whether it can be sold or not, I will keep it for my own use, so you don't have to worry. I will only let everyone raise it if it can be sold."
Uncle Yang felt much more relieved after hearing what Shen Xia said.
Shen Xia looked at everyone and said: "Next, everyone should plant your mulberry leaves well and add some manure water, so that they can grow well."
"I'll wait until the finished product is ready and then sell it. If it can be sold, I'll let you continue to raise it."
Everyone nodded. Everyone tasted the sweetness of this for the first time.
Who doesn't love it!
It was only a month of hard work, but I earned three taels of silver.
I'm so happy that I'm going crazy.
If I raise it for twelve months a year, my God!
If you raise a little more every month, you can build a blue brick and tile house in two years.
Shen Xia didn't know about this. If she knew, she would say that raising silkworms usually only takes four or five seasons, so how could there be twelve seasons? She was overthinking.
Several families were so happy that they couldn't stop smiling.
The Yang family came with Aunt Yang and Uncle Yang's second wife, and they looked at the silver in my mother's hand.
Can't believe this is true.
Mother Yang looked at the second son's wife and said, "If Xiao Xia wants us to raise silkworms in the future, you will be responsible for it. It doesn't matter if your eldest sister-in-law doesn't like it."
After hearing this, the second son's wife was extremely happy: "Okay, thank you, mother."
Everyone has left.
In the end, only family members were left.
Looking at so many silk cocoons received.
Shen Xia thought, I simply can’t let this go!
Fortunately I didn’t continue to raise it, otherwise I would have no place to put it.
So I put these in the room where my cousin lived and the room where my third brother and his family lived.
Then I looked at everyone and it was finally done.
Because everyone was tired today, we just made some food and ate it in the evening.
It gets dark late now, so everyone eats in the yard.
But before we could even finish eating, an unexpected guest arrived.
Only Fourth Aunt, Song Jiang's grandmother and Song Fei came together.
Looking at so many people in the yard.
Old Mrs. Song knew Song Jiang's uncles Zhao Yuangang and Zhao Yuancheng.
The fourth room also has memories. After all, the scene of the two men coming to support their sister in dividing the family property is still as vivid as yesterday.
Shen Xia looked at it and pretended not to see it.
Too lazy to tell them.
Song's mother wanted to stand up, but Shen Xia pulled her back.
Can't get up.
Mother Song glanced at Shen Xia and could only concentrate on eating.
Seeing these people ignoring her like this, Old Lady Song suddenly felt a fire burning in her stomach.
He scolded: "A bunch of uneducated people."
Everyone remained silent and continued eating.
Only the Zhao family was embarrassed.
Is this really ignored?
Until Song Jiang stood up and said, "Grandma, what do you want?"
The old lady was unhappy when she heard this: "What do you mean, what's the matter?"
At this time, the fourth aunt also said, "Big brother, your grandmother really loved you in vain when you were a child."
Song Jiang glanced at his aunt and said, "Oh, really?"
Song Fei also spoke up: "Of course not, brother, how can you marry a wife and not even recognize your family members."
Song Jiang said coldly: "Do you want me to remind you how our family was divided?"
At this time, Song Yun stood up and said, "No one comes to visit you for no reason. Don't waste your breath. Just tell us what you want to say!"
Fourth Aunt and the old lady looked at each other.
The old lady coughed lightly and said, "I heard from the villagers that you are raising cocoons at 40 cents per pound. Your sister and fourth aunt have nothing to do at home, and they also want to raise some. We are family, so you can charge 51 pounds."
"Family members must not be treated the same as outsiders."
The old lady looked condescending.
It was as if he was talking to a servant.
After hearing this, Shen Xia was too lazy to talk to her.
Song Yun listened, glanced at Shen Xia, and then said to his grandmother: "Raising silkworms is very hard work, and it is not suitable for people like your grandmother and Fourth Aunt to do it."
When the old lady heard this, she thought it was a rejection of her!
I had listened to my grandson before and said not to cause trouble, but seeing that they were getting better and better and the house had started to be renovated, of course I have no intention of buying the house now. I will wait until the house is renovated.
But I heard that there are several families in the village who follow them in raising insect cocoons, and they can earn three taels of silver in just one month. How can I not be tempted?
My son only gets one or two taels of silver a month in town, but if he just keeps some food at home, it would cost three or two taels of silver a month.
So when he heard the news in the evening, he brought his daughter-in-law over.
The old lady cursed: "You unfilial thing, others can support you, why can't your fourth aunt support you?"
Song Yun smiled and said, "The weather is hot and there are no insect eggs. Who can raise them?"
As the other party is an elderly person, he can only deceive people in this way.
You can't just go up and tear your grandmother apart with your own hands!
Now that I think about it, it's really something only Shen Xia could do.
Discuss it with her when you are free. It is not right for several brothers in the family to do such a thing.
The old lady didn't understand either. When she heard it, she asked, "Is this really the case?"
But you can't fool anyone about this. When the time comes, we'll see if everyone can raise the animals. You can't let others raise the animals while you can't.
When the time comes, he will tell everyone and won’t let others poke his spine.
Seeing them eating simple meals without even a bit of meat,
I feel a little better now.
Watched them go.
Shen Xia then glanced at Song Yun. She didn't expect that Song Yun, as a scholar, would lie.
He really remained calm and composed!
Song Yun looked at Shen Xia's scrutinizing eyes and asked, "What kind of look is that?"
Shen Xia raised the corner of her mouth: "It's okay, I just suddenly felt that scholars can also be so eloquent."
Song Yun's face darkened.
Are they praising themselves or insulting themselves?
I did this because I thought she had worked all day.
Don't you want her to come out and tire her out again?
Finally I laughed at myself.
Forget it, I won't do that again next time————
This wasn't her trouble.
Even though she was laughing at herself, why was her smile so charming?
I spend less and less time at home.
I suddenly felt reluctant to let go, but there was nothing I could do.
Song Yi from the fourth room also passed the examination for a scholar last year.
I can't drag the Queen Mother down any longer.
I have to take the exam this year.
