Chapter 68: Get Rich Quick!

el at her daughter to wake her up when the two personal guards returned.When Li Laotai heard that her eldest son was going to have Gong Yunshu acknowledge the token, she got up and went next door.Jia...Li Laotai missed her grandson and told him,

"Hongying ah, make some meat sauce for dinner tonight..." 。I will bake some more cookies tomorrow and have Lao Er deliver them to Jia Ren. 。This child doesn't know how to save money while at college. 。"Let him have a taste too!"

"Alright, Mother, you can rest assured, I'll make the arrangements." 。"Tao Hongying took a handkerchief and wiped the corners of her daughter's mouth. " 。The bowl was a bit bigger, and Jia Yin ate it with relish, almost burying her face in the bowl. 。Everyone laughed, laughing and eating 。Zhao Yuru said, "I boiled a pot of water and washed Funiu in the evening." 。It's too hot today, the children are suffering. 。"We want to too, we want to too!" Jiāxǐ and Jiā'ān also shouted. 。The old woman tapped them with her chopsticks and scolded them with a smile. 。"What are you yelling about You're going to have to hide in the house even if you wash yourself." 。While others can't even afford water, you can still take a bath. 。Have fun in secret, be careful not to attract envy from others. 。"Got it, Grandma" 。"Gladly, home's happy and peaceful, I immediately agreed." 。Chia Yin ate half a bowl of porridge, her small belly rounded. 。

He lay down on the kang again and fell asleep.

The old woman felt heartache; she knew best of all the people in the family... 。The granddaughter, though so young, fetches water at the well every night. 。Adults can't hold on, let alone a child who is not yet a year old. 。 "Oh, I hope it rains soon." 。

I can't take it anymore.

"

Li Laosi didn't want his mother to get angry, so he said, "Mother, don't worry about 。We nap during the day and water things at night, we don't get tired at all. 。"

Li Lao'er and the others also nodded, "Mother, we're not tired" 。“

Lao Li sighed, her son and grandson were clearly much thinner and darker. How could they not be tired ” 。But her grandchildren are filial and sensible, and they can endure hardship, so she is happy. 。Then let's persevere for a few more days. After all, such good crops would be a shame to waste. 。"Yeah, now there's just our family left. " 。Luckily, we still have well water. 。Otherwise, even if you try your best, there will be no chance. 。Everyone agreed. They must have eaten pork and gained strength. 。That evening, the whole Li family watered three ridges of land. 。After Jia Yin finished watering the plants, she saw Da Qing's labored breathing. So she pulled Grandma over and plucked a lot of greens from the space. 。Dàqīng was so excited that he was ecstatic, breathing heavily and eating with gusto. 。Li Laotai felt sorry for him and even wanted to snatch the food from his mouth, but Jia Yin took out a lot more. 。bok choy, cilantro, Chinese spinach, rapeseed, green onions, are all emerald green and crisp. 。Even cucumbers and peas, zucchini...

Old Lady Li was so delighted that she couldn't be happier, and she even wanted to take them to the kitchen

But, the granddaughter took more and more. 。She suddenly realized and tentatively asked: 。"Funiya, with so many dishes, our family can't finish them all." 。"See, isn't this what you want your second uncle to take to the city to sell" "Ah, ah!" Jiayin nodded vigorously. That was her plan indeed. 。

Things that are rare are precious.

If it were any other year at this time, vegetables would be the cheapest. 。But now even drinking water is difficult, vegetables have become treasures. 。Once they arrive in the city, those wealthy families would certainly be willing to pay silver. 。Just so happens, the ones coming back to draw water this trip are Li La Er and Li La Si. 。Lao Li had two sons and hurried to twist the hemp rope. 。Quickly bundle all the greens together and put them in the willow basket. 。

While putting things away, I sprinkle water.

Lastly, they loaded the donkey cart, filling it to almost its full capacity. 。Li Laotai whispered to her son, 。"You go into the city tonight, and enter as soon as the gate opens." 。 。If you encounter someone who is bullying others, don't dwell on it too much. 。"Safe return is the most important thing, understand" "Understood, Mother." 。Li Lao'er and Li Lao'si, one steady, the other brave 。In times like these, it's most fitting to make such speculative profits. 。Both brothers knew this dish was strange, but neither dared to say more. 。Fu Niu is turning one year old, and since the escape from the warzone began, there have been all sorts of strange things happening at home. Now we just accept them as normal. 。Li Lao'er and Li Laosi quietly drove the mule cart and set off. 。Old Li carried Fortune Girl to the field and called back several of Tao Hongying's. 。The old men next door were also helping out. They didn't know what was going on and kept asking 。"Why didn't you water the plants tonight But the well is dry"Li Laotai climbed up the ladder, "Looking at it, there isn't much water left. Leave some for everyone, and we'll see tomorrow night whether to water or not." 。Several old men sighed, “You guys are too kind-hearted.” 。"Yeah, at this time taking care of yourself would be the most important thing, you guys are actually still looking after the entire village." 。“ Everyone chatted for a bit and then went home. 。As for Jia Yin, she had already fallen asleep on grandma's back, drooling. 。I'm so tired, I've reached my limit. 。Natural disasters are a consequence of human actions and the will of heaven. 。Now we can only persevere and hope for the best, praying for heaven's mercy to send rain soon. 。Then Li Lao Er and Li Lao Si waited for the city gate to open. After paying ten wen, they successfully entered the city. 。Since the two were unfamiliar with the wealthy families in town, Li Lao Si thought about it and went to the鏢局 to ask Liu Biaotou for help. 。Liu BiaoTou was a kind-hearted man and also Jia Yi's master, of course he wouldn't refuse 。He was familiar with the masters of each household, but he was unfamiliar with the purchasing manager. 。So, he called the pawnshop's clerk for help. 。This is a young man in his twenties, surnamed Zhou. He looks like he has a smiling face and is very easygoing. 。Having heard the Li family's intentions and seeing the green vegetables in the car, he couldn't help but get excited and rub his hands together. 。These days, every household in the city is complaining. 。The common people are short of grain and water, while the wealthy are short of enjoyment. 。There are no fruits left, no vegetables left, and even the water supply is insufficient. 。These days are simply unbearable! The families' shopping is very unlucky, they are scolded by their masters all day long. 。Now Li's family's vegetables are like meat in the beak of a crow, as soon as they are brought out, they will definitely be snapped up. 。"Li Erge, Li Sige, to be honest with you" 。Your car must be selling like hotcakes! But before I decide, I want to ask, do you have any more Is this a one-time deal, or can I expect regular deliveries The difference is significant, it's not just about a few coins. 。That's dozens of taels! You have to be clear, then I can arrange things for you. 。“ Li Lao'er and Li Lao'si looked at each other, both feeling that they had rushed out a bit too quickly. They should have asked their mother carefully! But it wasn't too late, Li Lao'er said " 。"Zhou brother, our well is drilled deep, so there's still water now. " 。These greens were saved from the family's mouths, hoping to sell them for some silver to pay for the children's education. 。There are still some at home, but after all, there are quite a few relatives and friends. 。I don't know if everything can be sold. 。Thus, I asked Lao Si to go back one more time. 。"Let's get this straight, then we can discuss it further" "Okay, okay, that's best." 。Zhou Guan was even more excited, he had caught a big fish. 。If it works well, he will also benefit. 。Li Lao Si hired a carriage and left, Liu Biao Tou invited Li Lao Er and Zhou Guan Shi back home for breakfast. 。Li La Er was generous and thoughtful, he took two bundles of small dishes and three cucumbers. 。Mrs. Liu cooked a meal and served it at the table, everyone ate with great joy. 。Li Laosi ran all the way home. People in the village were drawing water, and when they saw him come back dusty and tired, they were all surprised 。He also had no time to chat, he pulled his mother into the house. 。Li Laotai didn't know if there would be any more vegetables in the future, so both mother and daughter looked towards Jia Yin. 。Jia Yin woke up and had eaten her fill. She was just lounging around when she heard about a profitable opportunity. How could she possibly pass it up 。to sell the wooden plaques containing the articles to the Li family, intending to frame Li Jiaren and Li Jiali during the examination. Why would you do such a thing!”"No, no! He's lying, we don't know...
