Huang Cainiang cried even more sadly: "But mother, they..."
I told them several times, but couldn't tell the truth.
Huang Wu wouldn’t let her say it, so she pinched her arm hard and warned with a ferocious face: “I told you not to cause trouble for the family, what else did you say? Compared to The dead Ni Niang, and your sister Xia Niang, your life is good enough. At least you are marrying a matchmaker and being a legal wife. If you are not satisfied yet, don’t blame me. I don’t recognize your daughter!”
Huang Cainiang is young and her family is her God. When she heard this, she was frightened and said hurriedly: “Mom, my daughter is obedient, don’t let her go.”
Mrs. Huang Wu then put away her ferocious face, smiled and half hugged her: "This is my mother's good daughter."
He also said: "If a woman wants to live well in this world, she must be willing to sacrifice herself... So Cainiang, please endure it for now and listen to your mother's arrangements. In just a few years, your mother will be able to let you live a clean life." Days.”
She gave Huang Cainiang another piece of candy: "Eat it quickly, it was your favorite when you were a child."
"Thank you, Mom, Mom treats me so well." Huang Cainiang took the candy and ate it slowly, cherishing it. Willing to bite into pieces.
Huang Wu smiled: "Be good, eat more. After you finish eating, mother will give you another piece."
Idiot, this bag of candy is one of the four gifts brought by the Wu family. I got it with you!
But thinking about the Qin family's red cloth flowers, Huang Wu was so angry that she pinched Huang Cainiang hard.
“Ah, mother, why are you pinching me again?” Huang Cainiang was pinched to tears.
Huang Wu cursed: "I heard that the red cloth dye was made by the daughter of the Qin family, but look at you sisters, what good things have you made? Shouldn't mother pinch you? !”
Huang Cainiang was shamed by the scolding. Lowered his head: "It's because my daughter has no ability."
Hmph, Huang Wu snorted coldly: "It's good to know that you have no ability. Quickly wipe your tears and go out to work... There is still a lot of work at home. Do it!”
"Yes." Huang Cainiang could only endure the pain in her body and got up and went to work. The work she did was still heavy work of pounding kudzu and firewood, which was extremely miserable.
Wu Laosi didn't care about her and pretended not to see her. He only pestered Huang Laoer and annoyed Huang Laoer until he wanted to beat her up.
......
In the west of the village, in the old house of the Qin family, several families gathered together and talked about going to the county government today.
Grandma Qin was very worried when she heard this: "Xiaomi, the Xue family is so rich, they won't really hire thieves to steal our secret recipe, right?"
"If he is smart enough, he will not send people to steal. But other people may send people to steal the prescription." Qin Xiaomi looked at the crowd and said: "So, starting from tonight, we will continue to arrange manpower to keep vigil... Aunt Quan and Aunt Eryong are also going to come back and share a room with us. There are so many people here, it will be difficult for the thieves to kidnap us."
Everyone was frightened when he said this.
Ms. Su: "Sure, my brother and sister Yong and I will move back in."
Ms. Liu smiled and said, "It will be more lively if we all live together, and you don't have to open the fire yourself. You can continue." We get a big advantage by eating the fifth aunt's food."
After hearing this, Grandma Qin laughed and said, "I have made some money recently, so I will cook more delicious food for you. ”
Qin Jingyi and the other little guys were very happy and began to trouble Grandma Qin, asking her to cook what they like.
Grandpa Qin took Jiang Dalang, Qin Dashi, brothers Xu, Qin Ying, Qin Jie and others to dig traps near the house... Grandpa Qin had been a soldier and was very good at digging these traps. I dug a shallow trench and buried the ropes and medicine. It was all done late at night. Jiang Dalang said: "Grandpa Qin, Brother Xu and I are here to watch the night. You go and have a rest."
If a thief comes into the village tonight, Grandpa Qin and the others will be in his way. Don't dare to use all your abilities.
Grandpa Qin agreed.
But one night passed and nothing happened.
But Qin Xiaomi and the others did not dare to let down their guard and kept vigil: "At least until they find a cooperative merchant and formally sign the contract."
And during the day, Qin Xiaomi They still go to the mountains to dig grass, make arrowroot powder, and set up stalls in towns.
Many people lined up in front of the Qin family stall in the middle of the night in order to get red cloth flowers. The Qin family kept their word and kept giving red cloth flowers to the first ten customers: "Send them to June Until the last day!”
Before the end of June, there will be many girls who want to be exempted from the fine. Red cloth is in short supply. Giving it at this time is the best way to win people’s hearts.
And the human heart is one of the means for them to protect themselves.
......
Ten days later, the news of the Qin family's red cloth dyeing was completely spread throughout the country. Many strangers came to Taifeng Town, and the last time they sat down Came in a green cloth mule cart.
These people also spent a lot of money to buy red cloth flowers from the Qin family from the townspeople. They soaked them all night and washed them several times. They were shocked when they saw that the color did not fade.
The next day, no longer hiding in the inn, they all went out together, and called Si Lifang to stop Grandpa Qin and the others: "Village Chief Qin, there are distinguished guests in Si Lifang, and I want to invite your grandparents to see them. At first sight.”
"Mr. Qin, even if you don't want to, you have to go. You can't escape." Secretary Lu whispered to Grandpa Qin: "Don't blame us, there is nothing we can do. We really can't afford to offend those... Although they are all from the county, the big proprietors behind them are all wealthy households in the city, as well as noble families and even officials. If you don't give them a clear explanation, I'm afraid they will be wiped out. "A big disaster."
Li Chang also came and advised: "Brother Qin, come and go... I have stopped your family three times, but I can't stop you this time. If you don’t go, I, the head of the village, will also be implicated.”
Chang Wu said good things on his face, but he was very happy in his heart... When he learned that the Qin family had made red cloth dye again, He was so angry that he actually fell ill.
But looking at it now... Haha, this is not a good thing, it is clearly the annihilation of the Qin family!
A family who fled from famine dared to make such a huge profit. Can those nobles still let the Qin family live?
"Let's go." Grandpa Qin and the others picked up the things for the stall and followed Secretary Lu and the others to Si Lifang.
The spacious official office was already filled with people wearing silks and satins. When they saw them coming in, everyone looked at them and looked at them as if they were pieces of meat. They were already thinking about how to divide them. This piece of meat.
An old man spoke first and asked: "Is this the Qin family that made red cloth dye?"
"That's right, according to Manager Yan." Secretary Kong said flatteringly , and said to the ancestors and grandsons of the Qin family: "Master Qin Son, the granddaughter of the Qin family, this is the general manager of the Yan family, a prominent family in Fucheng. He is in charge of all the Yan family’s properties in Dongming Mansion. He is also the younger brother of the current Master Yan. He is a very important person. Please pay your respects quickly. "
Brothers?
He is just a servant born in the family.
Qin Xiaomi smiled and memorized a piece of Wei law for them: "Those who have land are the people, and the people salute those who are slaves. Those who are slaves must be beaten ten times with a cane in public to salute the law!"
Everyone present is For a moment, General Manager Yan's old face turned green. Secretary Kong was shocked and angry. He pointed at Qin Xiaomi and said: "What crazy words did you say? Why don't you apologize to General Manager Yan!"
