When Jiang Tangtang was selling space fruits, he thought there might be trouble, but he didn't expect the trouble would come so quickly!
But running at this time made her feel guilty.
She sighed inwardly and was about to say that she could just go by herself. But Guanshi Xia was the first to speak: "I have nothing to do anyway, so I'll accompany you to the teahouse!"
"Then I'll trouble you!" Jiang Tangtang said.
The man asked for a private room facing the street, invited Jiang Tangtang and Manager Xia to sit down, and asked the waiter to serve tea and cakes.
Jiang Tangtang only ate porridge in the morning. Now he was a little hungry, so he didn't show any politeness, so he sat down and started eating.
But the cakes in this teahouse, which cost only one tael of silver for a plate, are not as delicious as those made at her farmhouse.
Jiang Tangtang only wished it was too far away from the county seat, otherwise he could make money by setting up a small shop on the street and selling pastries!
While eating cakes, Song Muci walked in, waving a folding fan.
Even though she was fanning herself in the middle of winter, Jiang Tangtang rolled her eyes inwardly and secretly cursed the king of pretense.
A look of panic instantly appeared on his face, "I wonder what Mr. Song wants to see me for?"
Song Muci put away the folding fan, cupped her hands towards Jiang Tangtang and said, "I'm disturbing you, girl. I'm stopping you today because I really want to find you." Let me inquire about something. I heard that the girl sold an old donkey cart a few days ago. I wonder if this is the case?" "It is true
. The donkey cart at home was old, so I replaced it with another one." Jiang Tangtang said He asked, with a puzzled look on his face, "But what's wrong with the donkey cart I sold?"
Song Muci frowned, "You said that donkey cart is yours?"
He looked at Jiang Tangtang for a moment, "Then Is the old woman selling fruit a relative of yours?"
Jiang Tangtang shook his head and said: "No! I just lent her the donkey cart for a while."
Song Muci was greatly disappointed, but still said with a smile: "Then if you If I meet her again, can you tell me something? Just tell her that if she still has some fruit to sell, she can send it to the Song Mansion, and the price will be double the last time."
Jiang Tangtang promised, but he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart. regret. For safety reasons, I'm afraid I won't be able to make this money for the time being.
While Jiang Tangtang and Song Muci were talking, Manager Xia also asked the boy next to Song Muci what was going on.
When he learned that a basket of oranges cost ten taels of silver, Mr. Song even went to great lengths to find someone and took the initiative to raise the price just to buy those fruits. He was shocked and at the same time became more and more excited.
If those wild berries are grown, are you afraid you won't be able to sell them at a high price?
After leaving the teahouse, Manager Xia couldn't help but said: "The oranges you gave me last time, aren't they the oranges Mr. Song is looking for?"
Jiang Tangtang smiled and said: "That's right, the oranges I gave to me were the ones that the old lady gave me last time. Mine."
"Those oranges are sweeter than honey. It's really rare." It
cost me twenty taels of silver to buy a basket of oranges. This made Manager Xia feel a little elated, but then he turned around and remembered that his third daughter-in-law had come to visit. When I went to ask someone for oranges, my face darkened again.
The third daughter-in-law must be well disciplined, otherwise she will become more and more disgraceful.
Mrs. Gu didn't know what her father-in-law was thinking. She was secretly hiding in her room eating oranges. But the oranges were so delicious that people couldn't stop eating them, and the more they ate, the more they wanted to eat.
It's a pity that she didn't eat the oranges. She originally wanted to save a few to eat tomorrow, but accidentally lost control and ate all the remaining fruits.
Looking at the basket with only orange peels left, Gu felt depressed and resented both her husband's family and Jiang Tangtang.
She pouted and returned to her parents' home.
"Yunqin, you're so pregnant, why did you come back alone?" Gu's mother kept reproaching: "Where is your man? It's such a winter and there's nothing to do, so why didn't you come back? But someone bullied you. ?"
Gu Yunqin pursed his lips and sniffed before crying.
Brother Gu immediately picked up the hoe and said angrily: "What? Did Xia Laosan bully you? I'm going to settle the score with her." "
Brother!" Gu grabbed him and said, "It has nothing to do with him."
"Then who bullied you? Already?" Mother Gu and Brother Gu said in unison.
"You're not the new criminal..." Mrs. Gu, as if she had been greatly wronged, recounted the events of the past two days in an exaggerated manner.
Brother Gu said angrily: "Just wait, I'll teach her a lesson. She's been exiled as a criminal, and she's bullying my sister. She thinks we have no one in the Gu family, right?" "
Brother, what are you going to do?" Gu said.
"Don't worry about it. In short, give that Jiang a lesson so that she won't dare to mess with you again. You can go to the room and have a rest. I'll ask your sister-in-law to kill a chicken to replenish you. Today Don't go back either, wait until Mr. Xia comes to pick you up." After
Brother Gu ordered Sister Gu to kill the chicken, he went out with the hoe.

After leaving the teahouse, Jiang Tangtang thought about finding a way to make money quickly, so he made an appointment with Manager Xia to go on errands separately and meet at the city gate at noon before returning to the village together.
After Jiang Tangtang and Manager Xia said goodbye, they slowly started walking around the street. After much deliberation, she still wanted to start with food.
First, in order to open a farmhouse, she put a lot of effort into food. It can be said that apart from designing jewelry, her most impressive skill is cooking.
Secondly, there are all kinds of modern kitchen utensils in the farmhouse, which is more convenient than doing anything else.
Jiang Tangtang bought flour, pork, sesame seeds, lime, pumpkin seeds and other raw materials, then drove the donkey cart to meet up with Manager Xia and others and returned to Zhuangzi.
As soon as the donkey cart reached the intersection of Zhuang Shang, they saw Mrs. Su with disheveled hair, crying and running around in the fields like a madman.
Jiang Tangtang was shocked by her appearance, and quickly stopped in the driveway: "Mom, what's wrong?"
"Tangtang, you are finally back." Su Shi didn't have the temperament of a lady at all at this moment, and she kept crying. Said: "What should I do? Wuwuwu...Tiantian is gone. I made Tiantian disappear..."
Jiang Tangtang was completely confused. It took a long time to calm down and said: "How could the child disappear suddenly?" Have you looked for her? Where are her two brothers?"
Su Shi cried and said: "I heard that vegetables were being planted in the fields today... I wanted to help, so I followed them to the fields. Several children brought slingshots. I wanted to follow him to the wasteland to hunt turtle doves, but I thought it wouldn't be a problem to keep the child at home, so I took him with me. In the blink of an eye, Tiantian's child disappeared." "
He disappeared in the wasteland. "Does Shi Yan know?" Jiang Tangtang forced himself to calm down and said, "Where did you search?" "
His father and his people searched all over the village for you, but you were nowhere to be found. Now he is taking his people to look for you in the woods."
Su Shi kept beating her chest, "That child Tiantian is always obedient and never runs around. Why is he missing? Someone kidnapped him!"
Jiang Tangtang thought of Jiang Caiwei for some reason. Could it be that woman?
