Chapter 32

After buying the things, the two went back. It was only afternoon when they returned to the village.

Song Ruan found an excuse to hide back in the room, and then entered the space.

I bought 16 piglets and 30 chicks today. Together with the ones I bought before, I have a total of 26 piglets and 40 chicks.

When buying, she deliberately bought more hens because hens can lay eggs.

It was not known whether it was because of the air in the space or because she added Jade Spring water to their food, but the small animals raised in the space grew very fast.

According to the current growth rate, it is at least four or five times the normal size. Hens usually start laying eggs at five months old, so in about a month, their family will have no shortage of eggs to eat.

Song Ruan also counted his own money.

She had 54.4 yuan left before, and after deducting the money she gave to her second brother and spent on shopping from her earnings today, she had 7.2 yuan left, a total of 61.6 yuan.

Yang Bin gave her 525 yuan the first time and 1,250 yuan the second time, for a total of 1,775 yuan.

At the rate she was making money, she might have to sell a batch of poultry and livestock.

After figuring this out, Song Ruan prepared enough food for the piglets and chicks, put them in their nests, and went out to cook dinner.

She planned to hang half of the 10 pounds of pork she bought today to air-dry and use the other half to make braised pork. Her family and Yang Bin’s family definitely couldn’t finish 5 pounds of braised pork, so she planned to save some for her second brother to take to town to sell tomorrow.

She might not be able to sell much braised pork, after all, people might prefer to make it themselves rather than spend more money to buy ready-made ones. But she still wanted her second brother to try it, after all, if he couldn’t sell it all, he could take it back and continue to eat it.

But what Song Ruan didn’t expect was that the next day her second brother not only sold out the bamboo basket of red date cakes, but also the braised pork she brought, and he excitedly bought another 10 kilograms of pork and asked her to continue cooking.

Song Wu’s passion for making money has been completely cultivated by Song Ruan.

She thought this was a good idea. As long as her second brother found a way to make money that he liked and suited him, he would not become an apprentice, nor would he make friends with those who would lead him to fight. Then her second brother’s fate would be changed.

In the next few days, their model was that Song Ruan was responsible for making the products, and Song Wu was responsible for selling them in the town. The two of them accumulated their money bit by bit like little hamsters.

On this day, Song Ruan was alone at home, making a fire and steaming red date cakes, when she suddenly heard someone knocking on the door.

Song Ruan quickly stuffed the firewood sticking out of the stove into the stove, blocked it with a wooden board to prevent the burning firewood from falling out, and then ran to open the door.

As the door opened, the first thing Song Ruan saw was Zhang Caihong’s familiar face.

Seeing her open the door, Zhang Caihong said sarcastically, “I knocked on the door for so long, but no one opened it. Didn’t I expect someone was home?”

Song Ruan understood that he was secretly saying that she was slow to open the door.

She is not her sister-in-law in this life, Song Ruan will not tolerate her.

She slammed the door and went back to steaming her money cakes, ignoring them even though they kept knocking on the door.

Making money is much more important than wasting time talking to her.

About ten minutes later, Song’s mother, who was sewing shoe soles at someone else’s house, and Song’s father, who was busy working on his own land, were both found.

Zhang Caihong and the matchmaker, who had been left outside, were finally able to enter the house.

As soon as she came in, Zhang Caihong accused her, “Didn’t you just open the door? Why did you close it again? What do you mean by that?”

Song’s mother was a little unhappy to see her daughter being pointed at and scolded, but she still tried to smooth things over for the sake of appearance.

Song Ruan first apologized to the matchmaker. After all, her attention was focused on Zhang Caihong’s face and she didn’t notice that there were other people behind her.

Then she turned around and said to Zhang Caihong calmly, “There was a stranger standing at the door, accusing me in a sarcastic tone. Why didn’t I close the door?”

Seeing that the two were not getting along, the skilled matchmaker immediately defuses the atmosphere: “Oh, it’s my fault that I came here without informing you in advance. Brother Song and Sister-in-law Song, do you mind?”

“No problem, no problem… Hehe…” Song’s mother Ye Hongmei smiled at the matchmaker and looked at the girl in front of her: “Who is this?”

“Oh, look at my memory, I forgot to introduce them.” The matchmaker said with a smile, “This is Zhang Caihong, the girl from the Zhang family in Xishui Village. She has been to junior high school and is a good match for your Song Wu.”

Song Ruan said faintly: “My eldest brother has only a high school education, how come he is a good match?”

Ye Hongmei patted her daughter and said, “Stop talking nonsense and go pour some tea.”

“Don’t stand there, come in and sit down. Song Wu will be back soon.”

After Ye Hongmei said this, everyone walked through the yard and into the house.

Zhang Caihong looked around and suddenly asked, “Your house only has three rooms? I heard that you have three brothers and a little sister. How do you live here?”

Ye Hongmei didn’t react: “Just… his father and I will have one room, my daughter will have one room, and the remaining three brothers will have one room.”

Zhang Caihong frowned: “Isn’t your eldest son old enough to get married? Why is he still living in the same room with his brothers? He can’t live in the same room even after getting married, right?”

Ye Hongmei was stunned by Zhang Caihong’s straightforward words. To be honest, it always felt strange that girls who came for a blind date discussed these things so openly.

Song Baoguo didn’t think too much about it, but just blamed himself and said, “I was planning to build another room, but… this is my fault for wasting the money…”

“Oh, don’t worry about that. There will be rooms available when the time comes. Come, sit down and chat.”

The matchmaker wanted to avoid the topic, but unexpectedly Zhang Caihong started the conversation in a very familiar manner.

“I heard about it, too. Uncle and aunt, I think you really shouldn’t give it. If a family doesn’t have some money…”

Song Ruan had just made the tea and brought it over.

Zhang Caihong laughed: “Come to think of it, there is also a family in our village who got married without money and house, but the younger sister of that family was lucky enough to marry with a high bride price, which not only gave her elder brother money to get married, but also made room for her older brother.”

At this point, she covered her mouth and smiled: “Of course, I’m just talking about other people’s families, I didn’t say that your family should be like this…”

Song Wu, who had gone to the cowshed to listen to stories told by the exiled intellectuals, came back at this time.
