Chapter 131 The woman

Two new women in Li Shijiji, one of whom was named Wen, was a widow, whose boudoir was named Wen Xiu.

Wen Xiu's husband died five years ago. She had no children and had only one daughter. When her husband held a funeral, the elders in the clan took charge and adopted a nephew, and gave her husband a banner and helped her spirits.

According to the rules, this nephew is her heir. She will be given a care for her in the future and will be inherited by her family's property.

Wen Xiu was not stupid. She would rather adopt an orphan than adopt a son from a relative's family, but her arms could not be hindered, so she finally agreed.

She was careful and finished her husband's funeral, then married her daughter out in Rexiaoli, and asked her brothers to rent out the land at home, sell all the livestock, and secretly gave the money she had obtained to her daughter.

Her adopted son was so angry that he jumped up after hearing this, but the money had been given out, so he couldn't go to the girl to ask for money. If he dared to go, his brother-in-law would not agree.

As soon as her husband's filial piety period passed, Wen Xiu came out of the countryside and went to work as a helper in the city. He only said that the man at home was in poor health and could not go to the field, so she needed to do work to supplement the family's income.

Half a year ago, my daughter and son-in-law fled to the capital. My son-in-law was filial and in chaos, I never forgot to go to the city to pick her up and flee with her before leaving.

Wen Xiu's son-in-law's son-in-law's family has inherited the carpenter skills. Now his son-in-law is working in Lao Cui's workshop and his salary is not low. However, Wen Xiu felt that he was less than forty years old and did not have to let his son-in-law raise him. He heard that Li Shiji's boss was also a woman, so he came over.

Another woman's surname is Tian and her name is Tian Guihua.

Tian Guihua did not come from the south. She was born and raised in the northerner. The town where her mother's family is located is more than 200 miles away from Pingcheng.

The Tian family also runs a shop, selling big cakes and various sesame cakes for decades.

When Tian Guihua was still a girl, she worked in the shop. After getting married, she still went back to the shop to help. She had no wages before getting married. After getting married, she received a tael of silver from her father every month.

After her father died, the two brothers fought for the shop and almost killed someone. Later, the elders decided to sell the shop and the two brothers divided half of each, and the matter was settled.

Tian Guihua no longer worked in her parents' shop, so she set up a small stall with her own man, and still sold big cakes and sesame cakes.

Although there was no sign of my parents' home, the taste was still the same. The old customer came to him. In less than a year, Tian Guihua and his wife built a new house.

The two brothers couldn't sit still, so they first came to the door and refused to use their parents' skills to make money, but later they simply wanted to share half of the dividends.

Tian Guihua naturally refused to agree. The two brothers originally ignored each other, but now when dealing with their own sister, they worked together to find the elders of their family and find Li Zheng. The final result was that Tian Guihua would not use her parents' skills to do business.

It’s okay to do business, you have to share the money with your two brothers.

Tian Guihua's husband is an honest man, but Tian Guihua couldn't help but breathe. At that time, the three brothers and sisters learned skills with their father, and neither of the two brothers wanted to turn around the stove. Without learning, she stopped learning. Only she learned it. Eight out of ten of the sesame cakes sold in her mother's shop over the years were made by her. Why can't she even sell sesame cakes now?

Tian Guihua gritted her teeth and left her hometown with her husband and came to Pingcheng.

At that time, the emperor's capital had not yet been spread to their town. In their eyes, Pingcheng was Pingcheng, not Xinjing.

Tian Guihua originally thought that she would continue to sell sesame cakes in Pingcheng. Pingcheng was so big that her two brothers couldn't find it.

Unexpectedly, before their family reached Pingcheng, they met refugees. Only then did they realize that the emperor had moved the capital and the fight had begun to begin to occur in the south.

Those refugees robbed whatever they saw, not only robbed their family of savings for many years, but also injured Tian Guihua's husband.

Over the past year, Tian Guihua's family has had a very difficult life in Xinjing. For a long time, they were sleeping on the streets. Fortunately, their son and their daughter were very obedient. Now that their son is working in Lao Cui's workshop, his daughter is used as an apprentice in an embroidery workshop. Tian Guihua's husband has fallen into trouble and cannot do the work. Fortunately, he is skillful and knows how to weave baskets, so he took some work from the local shop and took it home to do it.

Unlike Wen Xiu, Tian Guihua had to go home when it was dark to cook for her husband and son. The reason why Li Qiniang knew that Tian Guihua's family was burdened and kept her was not because she was attracted by her skill in making pancakes, but because Tian Guihua's family, whether it was two children or her sick husband, did not have a single one who had eaten idle food and waited for death. The whole family was united and worked hard to live. This was the reason why Li Qiniang had a good impression of her.

Yan Xuehuai also had a good impression of these two people, otherwise he would not have left them for trial during the primary election.

Although the food shop opens from morning to night to welcome guests, in fact, when there are real guests, there are only noon and evening.

There were only two tables of guests at noon, and the buns and rice dumplings had already been sold out. When the last guest was sent away, Li Qiniang called everyone to have a meal.

There are nine people in Li Shijiji, and except for Yan Xuehuai, the other eight people have not eaten yet.

Yan Xuehuai is an exception. Li Qiniang feels sorry for her daughter and feeds her daughter early.

Now that others started eating, Yan Xuehuai was already full, so she brought a basin of water and took a rag outside to wipe the table.

There was a long table outside Li Shiji, which was used to sell buns and rice.

Yan Xuehuai had just finished wiping the table and was about to change the basin of water and wipe it for a second time when he saw a well-dressed young man coming over with two servants.

Yan Xuehuai didn't care. What's the most popular on Huichang Street, of course, is the most popular.

Even after noon, there were still crowds of people on Huichang Street.

Yan Xuehuai only took a look and was about to turn around and go in. At this time, Li Shiji had no guests. Although this person was dressed well, he definitely didn't come to Li Shiji.

"Hey, wait!"

Hearing this, Yan Xuehuai paused and was sure that she was talking to her, so she turned around.

The person who spoke was a servant next to the young master. Seeing Yan Xuehuai turned his head and looked over, the servant immediately smiled and said to the young master: "Young Master, what do you think? This plate, this one."

The young master was about twenty years old and looked fair, but his eyes were covered in black and blue, and his eyes were scattered when he looked at people, and he felt a little frivolous.

He looked at Yan Xuehuai up and down and nodded: "I've lost weight a little, but I'm so tender, it's okay. The young master is so good now."

When he spoke, his voice was not low. Although the streets of Huichang were very lively and shouting constantly, Yan Xuehuai could still hear it clearly.
