After her husband died, her parents came to force her to remarry

Chapter 154 Decoration Shop

When Jiang Xiaohe returned home, she told Wang Qiuxia and Zhang Fu about this.

When they heard that she bought a big shop in town for eighty taels and that there was even room for people to live in the backyard, they felt like they had found a treasure.

"If this shop were open normally, it would definitely sell for over 100 taels. I got a bargain today."

Zhang Fu nodded: "What should we do next?"

When it comes to this, Jiang Xiaohe said, "Dad, the shop is actually still a little small, but it is said that another floor can be built on the original foundation, so I would like to ask my second uncle to help see how to build it. If it is possible, I am afraid that the house will have to be renovated according to the layout I want."

"Okay, Dad understands. After lunch, I'll go talk to your second uncle and let him get the shop ready for you as soon as possible while he's not busy recently."

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and nodded: "Then I'll ask Aunt Hua's family to help make some tables and chairs, and then we can open the business."

The two old men were very excited when they heard this.

Wang Qiuxia said, "Next time we go to the market, Mom will go to the town with you and I will go see what the shop looks like."

"to make."

When Zhang Quan and Zeng Hua knew that Jiang Xiaohe had bought a shop to start a food business, her mouth was big enough to fit a fist.

How much money did Xiao He make, using it to build a house and buy a shop?

But the two didn't say much.

Zhang Quan agreed to go to the town to look at the shops tomorrow. After they left, Zeng Hua said with emotion, "Why is there such a big gap between people? I was thinking a few days ago that our family has made some money, and when Daniu gets married, we will build two big blue brick and tile houses to live in by the end of the year. But it hasn't been long since then, and they bought a shop again. Sigh!"

After listening to this, Zhang Quan smiled unhappily: "When did you start to compare yourself with others?"

"How can you not compete? After all, you are brothers, and everyone is watching."

Zhang Quan took a puff of his pipe and said, "Okay, it's a good thing that Big Brother can live a good life now. Why don't you compare it with what they have been through."

Zeng Hua quickly said, "Look at what you said. I just said it, but I don't mean it."

Hearing her say this, Zhang Quan nodded and said, "Don't worry, if they become prosperous one day, they will not forget us. You have seen Xiao He and Big Brother and Big Sister-in-law for so long, don't you still believe them?"

"I know it in my heart. We are a family after all. We are still connected by bones."

"That's right. You see, they want to renovate the shop, and they think of me first. Then I can take Daniu with me, and I won't have to work hard in the quarry."

Zeng Hua smiled and nodded, then continued, "Da Niu's marriage has been arranged. The matchmaker sent someone with a message this morning, asking us to prepare and go see the bride in two days."

When he said this, Zhang Quan smiled: "That's good, that's good. Don't delay Daniu's marriage any longer. Let's get it done when it's suitable."

"Don't worry, I know it!"

The next day, Jiang Xiaohe took Zhang Quan and Zhang Fu to see the shop. Zhang Fu was very satisfied with the shop.

In particular, there are several rooms in the backyard, which can be used as warehouses or for living.

"Dad, are you satisfied?"

"Satisfied! It's a good deal to buy such a good house at this price."

Zhang Quan took a look at the house and knew where was the most suitable place to start building. Jiang Xiaohe only needed to tell him her needs.

"Uncle, I want to turn this second floor, which is built along the street, into private rooms."

Zhang Quan nodded: "Okay, do you have any other requests?"

Jiang Xiaohe nodded and took him to the back kitchen: "I want to renovate this place. I also want to make hot pot. I can make it into a half wall here, hollow out the middle, and make a grille on top. Then, make a big table next to the half wall, just against the wall, and use it to serve dishes. And..."

Jiang Xiaohe said a lot of things and Zhang Quan wrote them down one by one.

After everything was done, Jiang Xiaohe said to Zhang Quan, "Actually, since you have this skill, you can take Da Niu with you and train a few apprentices. Then you can specialize in repairing and renovating houses. If you can do it on a certain scale, it can also be a way to make money."

this....

Zhang Quan had never thought about it before. After all, farmers and laborers were the ones working in the fields.

Jiang Xiaohe smiled and stopped there.

In the following days, Zhang Quan took Zhang Daniu and called a few more people to concentrate on running the shop for Jiang Xiaohe. In the meantime, Zhang Daniu was called back for one day, and it was said that he was going to meet his blind date.

While Jiang Xiaohe was ordering the furniture needed for the shop, she began to study the recipe, and basically all the matters concerning mushrooms were left to Zhang Fu and Wang Qiuxia. She only needed to record the amount of money sold every day.

In a blink of an eye, the ground on the edge of the field turned green and the weather became much warmer. Jiang Xiaohe took a basin and went to the river to wash clothes. There were already many women washing clothes by the river. When they saw her coming, they hurriedly greeted her. Since knowing that Jiang Xiaohe was good at making money, the villagers began to respect her.

Don't hit a smiling person. Others respect her and she also respects others. In this way, many people in the village became familiar with her.

Jiang Xiaohe pricked up her ears to listen, hearing Dr. Niu's wife gossiping next to her.

"You don't know, Li Taohua has been married to Zhang Long for more than half a year, and her stomach has not moved. She has been taking medicine these two days."

"Li Taohua takes medicine? No way."

"Why can't I do that? Li Taohua's mother has been asking my husband for medicine every few days. Am I lying to you?"

When everyone heard this, they felt something was wrong.

"Chen Guifang is getting medicine? I'm afraid she's getting it for He Qing, the chicken that doesn't lay eggs."

Everyone nodded: "That's right, He Qing has been married to her Li Tieniu for several years, hasn't she been taking medicine all the time?"

Doctor Niu's wife shook her head and said disdainfully, "That was in the past. I heard that Li Tieniu didn't even touch his wife when he came back. What's the use of taking more medicine? So we stopped!"

Everyone had a sneering expression on their face: "How could this be possible? This Li Tieniu might be a man, right?" Everyone laughed again.

"Also, when my husband gets medicine, he always asks who it's for so that he can prescribe the right medicine for the right condition. But Chen Guifang was hesitant and couldn't say it. You said she was like this, isn't she getting it for her daughter Li Taohua, but for herself?"

Everyone laughed again, but they didn't stop holding the sticks.

"When Li Taohua married Zhang Long, didn't she say she was pregnant with Zhang Long's child?"

"She was pregnant, she was just trying to cheat Sun Tingfang out of the betrothal gift. It was exposed the next day after the wedding."

"That's right. Back then, Sun Tingfang went to Chen Guifang and made a scene. Do you still remember that?"

Everybody laughed again.

Then he talked about some other things in the village, such as how many babies each pig gave birth to, which chickens were stolen by which family, etc.

Jiang Xiaohe found it boring and went back home after washing the clothes.

On the way back, she met He Qing, who also saw her. He Qing thought she was going to cause trouble for him again, but he saw her lowering her head and silently walking past her carrying the laundry basin.

After walking for a long time in confusion, he looked back and saw He Qing carrying the basin and walking away. He thought that He Qing didn't want to wash clothes with the women in the village to avoid being gossiped about. Thinking about what Doctor Niu's wife had just said, He Qing was also a poor man.
