Chapter 607: Starting a Business Again
Wenyou walked to the river, looked at Baiyunxi's calm appearance, and raised her eyebrows curiously.
"Has Aunt Bai expected it?"
Seeing that Wen You was rarely interested, Bai Yunxi smiled slightly and handed her a small mazaar.
"They are all young and energetic teenagers. Who doesn't have a temper? If he knew that he was a piece of meat in someone else's mouth, he would have been plotted long ago. It would be strange to be happy."
She just wanted to use her daughter's words to tell Xiao Wu that she had been plotted long ago.
Wenyou sat next to him, looking at Bai Yunxi's side face, which was peaceful and gentle under the afterglow of the sunset. As a mother, there is no right or wrong in protecting her children and shielding her from outside intrusions, only responsibility.
It is also very hard for a woman who has no support to drag her family up as far as she can.
Feeling Wenyou's comment, Baiyunxi turned his head. "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think there's something wrong with the way I handle things?"
Wenyou shook her head, "In my world, there is only success or failure in doing things, there is no right or wrong."
Listening to Wenyou's tone, Baiyunxi smiled,
"I personally agree with your point of view. Strictly speaking, I am not a good person. I don't have great love in my heart. I only care about the people and things around me. How other people do has nothing to do with me. Aunt Bai is not a saint and has limited abilities. She can take care of herself. One-third of an acre has reached its limit.”
"So, within sight, I will never allow anyone to ruin my life. To be honest, I don't have a good impression of Chen Jiao and her son. For someone I don't like, I naturally don't want her hanging around."
Speaking of this, Baiyun Xi felt the fishing rod in her hand move. She flicked it hard, and a fish jumped out of the water. She threw it on the grass. The soft dog pounced on it, picked up the fish, and handed it to the owner's feet. .
Baiyunxi rubbed the dog's head and removed the fishhook, "The last one will be gone after eating it."
After being fed, the soft dog purred, found a quiet spot with the fish in his mouth, and began to enjoy the food.
Baiyunxi put earthworms on the fishhook again, threw them into the water, and then spoke.
"Chen Jiao, mother and son just want to find a reliable man to live with. There is nothing right or wrong about this, and I don't object to it. But they regard Xiao Wu as their target, so naturally it won't work."
Wenyou nodded, and she agreed with Aunt Bai's approach.
In her previous life, Chen Jiao, mother and daughter, had been nothing but concubines of Israeli servants, or canaries raised in cages as outhouses by some wealthy children. They were not suitable to be the matron of a household at all.
A person like Xiao Wu is a standard kid from a poor family. Since he wants to pursue an official career, his partner must match him.
It's best to be able to read and write and help him take care of the back house. Even though a woman usually doesn't leave the house, she actually has a lot of social interactions.
If you don't have the ability and skill, no one will want to know you.
Chen Jiao and her daughter came here to enjoy happiness. Apart from being dependent on men, acting coquettishly and making smiles to please men, they did not know how to do anything serious. Anyone with a better family background would not want to marry such a person home.
"Okay, I've done everything I can do anyway. How far will it go? But I have no right to interfere."
Everyone has his own trajectory, and she can only interfere with how it goes. As for the outcome, she can't control it.
When there was another fish in the bucket, Baiyunxi packed up his fishing gear and went home with Wenyou.
In one day, rumors still spread in the village, all about Myolie and Bai Anbang.
After hearing this, Bai Yunxi had no choice but to find the matter in front of Songzhuang's eyes. She didn't publicize it in a big way because she was afraid of being scolded by Mrs. Zheng.
I heard that the hall sister-in-law came to Chen Jiao's door again and scolded her, started a fire, and smashed her water tank. The mother and daughter were so frightened that they hid in the house and did not dare to show their heads until Bai Yuntang came back and took Zheng Jiao to the house. Shi persuaded him to leave.
Although Xiao Wu spent most of his time studying hard at home, he was not shut in. Rumors on the street could naturally reach his ears.
Bai Yunxi only found that his face returned to normal after being dark for two days.
However, Xing'er couldn't sit still. With red eyes and white face, she ran to her house twice, but Wen Youyou intercepted her in the dark. She directly carried her to Chen Jiao, or jumped in from the courtyard wall. of.
I don't know how the threat was made, but it made both mother and son blush. From then on, Xing'er didn't dare to come to the door again.
Bai Anyan stayed at his father-in-law's house for two days and then drove his ox cart back. The man was restless and had a lot of work in the fields, so he couldn't live comfortably.
When Baiyunshan returned from the county again, the land deed was brought back directly.
"I happened to meet Li Mao when I was passing through the town. He told me that the land deed has been issued. What are you going to do next? If you want to use your cousin's money, just ask. I won't go out in the near future."
Baiyunxi took the land deed and looked at the big red seal on it, finally feeling at ease.
"That's what my cousin said. I really need you to help me with my advice. I want to renovate the sloping land a little, build a few rooms, and build a shed."
"To level the land, I need to hire people. My cousin can help me introduce which family in the village is more practical and hardworking. I want to hire a few people. As for the wages, they are the same as the day laborers in the town."
When she started, the scale was naturally not too big. She only needed to repair five or six acres, and it only took seven or eight days to do it quickly.
Baiyunshan nodded, "It's not a big deal. I'll ask you later and I'll send you a letter tomorrow."
After sending Baiyunshan away, several people came together to read the land deed, and finally Baiyunxi put it in the locker.
It takes money to hire labor, money to build a house, and there are still lots of homesteads that need to be fenced with brick walls. Baiyunxi started looking through her savings again.
The last time I bought Xiaofangzhuang, I used a year's harvest. I didn't use the savings in my hands, so I saved some food.
After the autumn grain comes in this time, and another year's grain is used to build a duck farm, the family's income will be able to increase.
She quickly trimmed the ground before the freezing weather. She knew the habits of poultry. In addition to professional feeding, they also liked to have fun and eat green grass. Therefore, it is necessary to enclose it with a fence to create a boundary to facilitate future activities.
My cousin found people very quickly, and he found five young men, all from the Bai clan. Bai Yunxi understands this. If he has work and money to earn, he will naturally stick to his own family members first.
There are several people led by the second child, plus the three children and four children, seven people are enough.
As for these two people, after recovering from their illness, they were very diligent and worked hard every day, determined to repay her for saving her life.
Although Bai Yunxi liked them very much, she had promised at that time that if they wanted to return to their ancestral home, she would give them travel expenses, which was regarded as fulfilling her daily good deeds.
The two children thought about it for five or six days and said they were willing to stay. They had no relatives in their ancestral home and would have to face bullying from their tribesmen when they returned.
