Chapter 302 Going to town

Li Chunhong agreed: "Yes, if you feed them well, you can sell them for a lot of money."

In the future, if you have some vegetable leaves at home, you can take them and throw them into the pigpen.

Wang Erfeng asked curiously, "What did your Aunt Niu ask you just now?"

Ji Wenhe replied: "Ask how much the salary is and whether you still want to work."

"Listen, I'm not wrong, am I? You know Niu Guilan, and you can guess what she's thinking."

After saying that, Lan Qiuhua said goodbye and went home to do her work.

The other people chatted for a while and then left one after another, leaving only Miao Zhaodi.

"Wen He, Auntie wants to thank you and Rong Shan for thinking about our Shen Liang."

“Aunt Miao, don’t say that, it’s just that raising pigs is very tiring, and Brother Liang will have to work a lot harder.”

"It's not as tiring as working in town. If I'm unlucky and the employer doesn't pay me, I feel at ease knowing he's at home."

Ji Wenhe looked at the man who was concentrating on chopping pig grass and said, "Aunt Miao, has Brother Liang found a wife yet?"

Miao Zhaodi shook her head: "No, I don't have much money. Some time ago, Lin Yueniang came to my house and said that she wanted to find a widow for Shen Liangxiang, even if her husband died and she had children."

"When asked how much betrothal gifts we can give, we can't even take out two taels. How can we look at it? But Lin Yue Niang said that she will keep an eye on it."

"There was a divorced girl who didn't want a betrothal gift because she couldn't have children. She was about the same age as Shen Liang. She had been married for several years but hadn't gotten pregnant. She was divorced and sent back to her parents' home in April."

Ji Wenhe turned around and asked, "Are you sure it's the girl who can't have children? I've heard people say before that sometimes it's the man who can't have children, and it has nothing to do with the woman."

"I don't know. We didn't ask. She hasn't gotten pregnant in so many years. It shouldn't have anything to do with men."

"That's not true, Aunt Miao. In fact, apart from acquired factors that lead to infertility, it is rare for women to be born unable to get pregnant. In this case, it is basically the man who is infertile."

"Why don't you ask Lin Yue Niang whether the girl has ever seen a doctor. I guess there's probably something wrong with the boy. They blame the girl for not being able to have children. I'm afraid their own son hasn't been to the doctor either."

She was divorced and sent home because she was unable to bear children. The news spread throughout the area, and no one was willing to marry a woman who could not bear children.

Moreover, in this era, if a woman cannot have children, all the blame will be placed on her. Perhaps only one out of tens of thousands of people would think that there is something wrong with their son.

Miao Zhaodi thought for a moment and said, "Okay, I'll ask her in a couple of days."

Ji Wenhe added: "Let Lin Yueniang ask clearly. The most important thing is whether she has seen a doctor. If not, let the girl take her pulse to see if it is her problem."

"If we don't find out, the girl's life will be ruined. Let's just say that it's up to her whether to go or not."

"And if the girl can give birth, it has nothing to do with her, then your family might be able to make this marriage happen. Of course, if the girl can give birth, their family will ask for a betrothal gift, so it all depends on your family's opinion."

"I understand." After a few breaths of silence, "I will go to Lin Yue Niang to ask her tomorrow. If it really has nothing to do with the girl, there is still some hope for our Shen Liang."

Miao Zhaodi looked at her with a smile: "Wen He, thank you from the auntie, I will go back and talk to your uncle Zhuan, I will be leaving now."

"Hey, take care."

She went home and collected the dried wild vegetables.

I carried a basket to the vegetable garden, picked some cucumbers, tomatoes, and eggplants, and washed them by the river.

Shen Yuanshan’s house has been almost completed, and they are building a stove inside.

Ji Wenhe ate a cucumber and walked slowly into the bedroom. There was a small room in the bedroom where he took a bath in winter.

Shen Anguo came out and saw her: "Sister-in-law."

"I see the kitchen stove has been built." She took out a cucumber and handed it to him.

"Thank you, sister-in-law. I won't eat it. My hands will be covered with mud."

"Then I'll put it here, and you can wash your hands and eat it later."

"Hey." He responded and turned to go out to fetch some water.

Ji Wenhe stretched his head to look inside: "Uncle Shen, Uncle Ping, the stove is ready. How many days will it take before it can be used?"

Shen Ping replied: "It can be used in two or three days, but it's better to wait a few more days. If you are not in a hurry to move in, just wait a few more days."

She nodded: "Okay."

Then I went to other rooms and they were all very nice.

When I came down the stairs, I saw Shen Rongshan: "Brother Shen, where have you been? I didn't see you when I came back."

"When I was returning to the village, I saw my master wandering around the entrance of the village. I sent him back and went to see the doctor on the way."

His master is so disobedient. He used to be so disobedient that he never liked to wander around. After he injured his hand, he likes to run around with two big black dogs and won’t listen to anything he says.

"What did the doctor say?"

"Take good care of them. I just came back from cooking for the two big black dogs. Brother Liang should be in the pigpen."

"I'm chopping pig grass." Ji Wenhe pointed to the basket inside the house. "I washed a few cucumbers and will let them eat them later."

Shen Rongshan agreed and went in to help.

She took tomatoes and eggplants out of the basket and went home to cook.

I made a bowl of scrambled eggs with tomatoes and stir-fried eggplant and sent it to Zhu Danian, and also fried a duck egg.

In a few days, I'll go to town to buy some pork ribs and pork shanks to feed him.

This year, no chili peppers can be added to the pickled sour beans. Zhu Danian also likes to eat sour beans, but his injury has not healed yet, so he cannot eat spicy food.

Because of her, the three brothers now eat a little more spicy food.

It may also be because the weather is hot, sour and spicy food goes better with rice.

After the stove was built, the next step was to build the fence.

Ji Wenhe specifically told them to build the fence higher and denser.

The fences of the houses in the village allow you to see clearly what is in the yard at a glance, and it feels like there is no difference whether there is a fence or not.

She doesn't like this and doesn't feel safe.

After the fence was built, they began to build Shen Wenshan's house.

That day, the two of them got up very early.

"Brother Shen, bring two baskets. I need to buy two large pottery jars to pickle sour beans. I also need to bring back a pound of vinegar and some fine salt."

"Oh, by the way, there's also a pot. We have a lot to buy today, so let's buy them separately."

Shen Rongshan came out with a straw hat and put it on her head: "I'll go buy the pots, pottery jars and meat, and you go buy vinegar and cloth."

"No problem, we'll meet outside the town."

She wanted to take Shen Suya with her and let her choose the color she liked.

After saying goodbye to the twins, he went down the mountain.

Lan Qiuhua and Shen Suya were waiting at home.

Ji Wenhe walked over and called out, "Aunt Lan, Xiaoya, can we go now?"

"I'm coming."

Two people came out of the house.

Lan Qiuhua said with a smile: "Wen He, Rongshan, will you come with me to buy meat, or will you come with me to buy meat?"

There are vegetables at home, and Wang Erfeng and her friends have sent over a lot of vegetables. You don't need to buy anything, just some meat.

"Brother Shen will accompany you, Xiaoya will come with me."

"Okay, I'll go with Rongshan."

Shen Rongshan came over with the donkey cart and said, "Aunt Lan, everyone get on board. We'll be back sooner rather than later."

The three of them got into the car.
