Chapter 302 Selling Granddaughter to Raise Money
Chapter 302 Selling Granddaughter to Raise Money
Jiang Guangyi, who was in a daze, returned home trembling.
Chen Qiuju returned from the village entrance first.
"Where have you been? Aren't you embarrassed to go out?" she asked puzzledly.
"Oh, I went to check on the fields, thinking about what to plant before winter." Jiang Guangyi made up an excuse.
"What else can I plant? Cabbage? Are we going to plant those damn potatoes like them? I don't know if they will grow. Even if they do grow, Jiang Shoujia may not harvest them. One pound for one cent. Humph, how much money can you make?"
Chen Qiuju had seen sprouted potatoes from the villagers.
Only a little bit bigger.
She mistook the potatoes for fruit from a tree.
I thought it wouldn't produce much.
His eyes and mouth were full of sarcasm.
"Qiuju, does our family still have money?" Jiang Guangyi asked her tentatively.
"Money? What do you think? We've paid the fine and bought medicine, so we don't have anything left. What do you want money for?"
Chen Qiuju always felt that her husband was acting abnormally today.
She had to think more.
"No, nothing, I'm going to sleep first." Jiang Guangyi stuttered, avoided her gaze, and ran back into the house.
Leaning on the bed, he saw several granddaughters playing outside the window.
Suddenly, an idea flashed through his mind.
The next day, he pretended to be sick and stayed at home and did not go to the field to plant cabbage.
Wait until people leave.
He walked quickly into the yard and stopped his four granddaughters who were preparing to go up the mountain to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables.
Erniu was eight years old and could help with a lot of housework, so she couldn't be sold. Jiang Guangyi drove her away first.
The remaining ones are Sanniu, Siniu and Wuniu.
He hesitated.
I heard that at the human trafficker's place, a baby girl can be sold for around two taels.
Widow Liu wanted three taels, so he had to sell at least two.
His eyes moved back and forth between the three of them.
The original plan was to send Jiang Sanniu, who always made trouble, and the youngest Wuniu, leaving behind the well-behaved and sensible Siniu.
But his worries were written all over his face, and Jiang Sanniu, who was the most thoughtful, thought something was wrong.
I’m just afraid that grandpa wants her to work.
"Grandpa, when grandma left just now, she asked me to go to the fields to find her. If I'm late, she will scold me. Maybe she has already come back to find me." He lied easily.
Jiang Guangyi could only wave at her and tell her to leave quickly.
The remaining two little granddaughters looked at him with confusion.
"Grandpa will take you to a good place. You have to be good, okay?" There was a hint of apology in Jiang Guangyi's eyes.
"Okay." The two girls agreed obediently. Jiang Guangyi made up his mind, closed the door, and left with his granddaughters.
This time is the busiest time for the villagers. The men go to work in the fields, while the women and children go to the mountains to pick mushrooms and dig wild vegetables.
After the rain, many mushrooms and wild vegetables sprouted on the mountain.
There is no way to pick them all up or dig them all up.
Therefore, when the three of them left, no one saw them.
In the morning, Jiang Fubao took a short rest on a recliner.
The sweet and sour green plum drink, paired with freshly-cooked meat patties, is delicious with every bite.
She skipped lunch because she was worried about gaining too much weight.
The first and second floors of the shop were already full of people.
There is a cup of green plum drink on almost every table.
Although the price is one hundred dollars.
It is dozens of times more expensive than the mung bean soup which only costs three cents.
But many people are willing to spend this money to drink it.
Eighty percent of the people who come to Jiang’s snack shop are rich people.
I don't care about these small amounts of money at all.
"Wow, I haven't been here for a few days. Are there new products in the shop? They are really delicious. They even smell like alcohol. Did they pour alcohol in it? No, this alcohol is not spicy at all. It doesn't look like it was freshly poured. Could it be that it was mixed with tea in advance? This shouldn't be the case. The tea is very fresh and light in color. It doesn't look like it's been left overnight. This is really strange."
Old customer Yang Wanli sat by the window on the second floor.
Tasting the alcoholic green plum drink, he first exclaimed in amazement, and then this gourmet began to guess how the green plum drink was made.
I guessed for a long time but still couldn't figure it out.
He drank two cups in a row and his cheeks turned red.
"Brother Yang, you'd better not drink anymore since you can't drink that much. I'm really afraid you'll get drunk. You're so fat, I really can't afford to take you home." His good friend who was sitting opposite him said jokingly.
"How can I be drunk? I am drunk, but this little bit of alcohol won't knock me down. Don't worry, Eryong, have another drink! Oh, and give me ten skewers of mutton, with more spicy food. I have finished eating everything on the table."
Just as Jiang Eryong was walking up the stairs with food in his hand, Yang Wanli spoke casually.
Because he was too familiar with him, he directly called Jiang Eryong's name.
"Okay, Manager Yang, after I deliver the food to that table of guests, I will go to the backyard to get it for you." Jiang Eryong responded quickly.
In fact, Yang Wanli was already eight-tenths full.
But he went to Lin County for some work a few days ago, and he hadn't eaten at Jiang's Snack Shop for several days, so he missed it very much.
I sat there from the end of the morning till the beginning of noon before leaving with a feeling of unfulfilled desire.
Having drunk three cups, he was a little tipsy and was even unsteady on his feet.
After arriving home, he was scolded by his wife.
"Look at you. What kind of good person would drink like this in the middle of the day? When did Jiang's snack shop start selling alcohol?" Although Shi Yanxiu was cursing, her actions were not slow at all.
She walked over quickly and supported Yang Wanli, fearing that he would fall.
She also poured him a cup of tea to soothe his throat.
Sober up at the same time.
"No, there is a new green plum drink that is really delicious. I'll take you to try it tomorrow." Yang Wanli burped.
Different from being drunk before.
This time, the burp was filled with the fragrance of green plums, tea, and the aftertaste of osmanthus.
Shi Yanxiu put down her hand as she was about to cover her mouth and nose: "You have such a poor alcohol tolerance, don't drink next time. I can't even smell the alcohol when you burp. What's wrong? Did you eat sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"
"Hey, my lady, I didn't eat it. It's the green plum drink that has osmanthus in it. It's delicious. There are two flavors. You can drink the one without the taste of alcohol. How come everything in this Jiang's snack shop tastes so good? It's really strange."
Yang Wanli plans to go drink again tomorrow.
"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore. Seeing that our granddaughter is already five years old and doesn't even have a playmate, I feel so distressed. She doesn't talk much and doesn't like to go out. It's not good for her to stay at home all the time.
Our Fengnian often goes out, leaving Ruixue with no one to play with. Tomorrow, you and I will go to the pawnshop to select two maids, preferably those who are close to Ruixue's age, to just play with her."
Shi Yanxiu sat next to him and got down to business.
"Okay, I'll do as you say. We don't lack money, so you can buy as many as you want."
Yang Wanli, who had a poor alcohol tolerance, lay down on the couch and fell asleep after he finished speaking.
This left Shi Yanxiu speechless.
The backyard of Jiang’s snack shop at this time.
Jiang Fubao, who was also taking a nap, started snoring.
"It's bad, mother. Someone from Sunjia Village just brought word that Zhou wanted to sell Zhaodi. She followed Zhou and watched her go to Wanlu Street."
Sudden.
Jiang Yahe suddenly ran to the backyard and shouted.
Jiang Fubao was awakened and trembled with fear.
