40. There is a farce at home

After matchmaker He was driven away, the Zhao family thought the matter was over. However, they felt that the matter was over, so Li Zugen's family refused to give up.

In fact, Li Zugen doesn't want to marry Brother Zhao. He is very thin and Brother Zhao is one head taller than him. When they stand together, others will probably think that he is Shuang'er. In this case, it would be strange if he looks down on Brother Zhao.

But his family...

Li Zugen's father is as thin as him, and his mother is not a motivated job. The oldest of the four children below is ten years old. They are still young, but they eat a lot.

They... can't just sit there and eat nothing.

If there were other choices, the Li family would definitely not choose Brother Zhao Jin, but isn’t there any other choice? Under the persuasion of their parents, Li Zugen gritted his teeth and agreed to marry Brother Zhao Jin. Then, they took more actions.

After the matchmaker He was not good at getting a good start, Li Zugen's mother, Li Liu, took action in person. She found the Zhao family, complained and cried, and asked for her son to marry Zhao Jin Ge.

Zhao Liushi naturally didn't want to do so, but Li Zugen's mother was extremely resilient and would never give up until she achieved her goal. She actually came to bother her every day.

Moreover, she is different from matchmaker He. Matchmaker He belittled Brother Zhao Jin at the beginning, but she almost praised Brother Zhao Jin to heaven, saying that she really wanted Brother Zhao Jin to be her daughter-in-law and would definitely be nice to Brother Zhao Jin in the future.

"I like Brother Jin since I was a child. If the guy from my family hadn't fallen in love with the man surnamed Xu, Brother Jin would have become my daughter-in-law long ago."

"I see that there is nothing better than Jin Ge'er in this place. How could you dislike it? You can't listen to matchmaker He's rumor."

"When Brother Jin goes to our house, we will definitely treat him well and will never neglect him."

"Those four children will be the worst at the end of the day. Brother Jin came in and became a family. It is certain that his children are the most important."

...

Li Liu comes to Zhao's family every day, and looks very sincere, just like when they were proposing to Brother Zhao Jin.

She was so sincere that gradually, the people in Hexi Village began to speak for her.

Although Zhao Liu's family does not like to socialize with others, they still know some people in Hexi Village. These days, the Zhao family is so lively that these people come to Zhao's family to watch the fun. As they watched, they even advised Zhao Liu to come.

"Your Brother Jin can't always stay away from getting married."

"Look at the old bald man in the village who couldn't marry a wife, he starved to death in the house the previous year, and no one knew."

"This person is injured and sick, so someone will always help you."

"The Zhao family is not having a good life now, but that's it. When Brother Jin gets married and helps make life happen, don't they thank Brother Jin for being nice to Brother Jin?"

...

These people have no malicious intentions. They really think so.

Zhao Liu is not a very determined person. She did not like Li Zugen before, but now she hears these people muttering... She suddenly realizes that Li Zugen is not particularly bad either.

Although their family is a mess, at least they have land. As long as Brother Jin is willing to work, he will not go hungry. Moreover, the family is very thin, Brother Jin can also clean up people.

Maybe Brother Jin can really live a good life after marrying?

Zhao Liu thought so, and that night, he gazes at Brother Zhao Jin: "Brother Jin, the Zhao family is here every day these days..."

"Mom, I won't marry." Brother Zhao Jin expressed his affirmatively, and frowned at the same time.

Jiang Zhen went to buy the sea goods. At first, he said he had gone for about five days, but now it's been more than ten days, so why haven't he come back yet? He had nowhere to inquire about Jiang Zhen, and was worried that he was too worried, and was entangled by the Li family again, and he was really not feeling well.

Zhao Liu sighed: "Brother Jin, mom knows that you are thinking about your parents, but you also have to think about the future..."

"Mom, I won't marry Li Zugen anyway." Brother Zhao Jin was very sure.

"Do you don't want to be a stepmother or do you hate what his family did before?" Zhao Liu asked again.

"None are not." Brother Zhao Jin said, Li Zugen did not feel so uncomfortable about retiring from the marriage. As for being a stepmother for others... he didn't think anything was wrong.

"Why is that?" Zhao Liu was puzzled.

Brother Zhao Jin hesitated for a moment before saying, "I don't like him." He now... likes Jiang Zhen.

When Zhao Liu heard this answer, he was even more puzzled. After a while, he realized it: "Do you think he is too thin? Yes, he is too small!"

Of course, Brother Zhao Jin didn't like Li Zugen because of his size, but Zhao Liu felt so, so he accepted it and reiterated: "I won't marry him."

"Okay, Brother Jin, you don't want to marry, forget it." Zhao Liu sighed.

Brother Zhao Jin breathed a sigh of relief.

On the other side, Jiang Zhen put away the stall, took a few sips of the rice made by Wang Haisheng, and entered the fishing boat full of fishy smell, and fell asleep.

Although he hired a half-old child to help these days, he was very tired because of too much work.

During this sleep, Jiang Zhen did not wake up until the sun rose the next morning.

When he was nervous a few days ago, he could still hold on. After relaxing, he felt a little weak in his hands and feet. Fortunately, they rested today.

In order to save money, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng slept on the boat these days, and they cooked some rice and kelp for their own meals. However, when they were idle today, they made money again, so there was no need to treat themselves badly.

After moving the cooking items on the shore, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng made a pot of rice, bought pork and fried a plate of vegetables, and ate two large bowls each comfortably.

"Look at the boat, I'll go to the city to take a look." After dinner, Jiang Zhen said to Wang Haisheng.

There are many other fish and kelp they keep but don’t sell on their boats, and they plan to bring salted fish and kelp from Hecheng County, so someone will definitely watch them.

Wang Haisheng responded, Jiang Zhen went ashore and started walking around the city.

This city is much bigger than Hecheng County. Then, it is probably because it is located in the south of the Yangtze River. It does not have a tall and majestic city wall and its business is also very prosperous.

Jiang Zhen had been in Hecheng County before, and asked about the prices of various commodities. When he arrived here, he was shameless and asked about the prices of the city. When he returned to Hecheng County, it was difficult for him to go back empty ships, so he should bring some goods back.

Some things in the Fucheng City are more expensive than Hecheng County, while others are cheaper than Hecheng County. For example, the oil and some beautiful cloth here are much lower than those in Hecheng County.

The most profitable thing these days is definitely luxury goods. However, Jiang Zhen had no capital to buy such goods at all, so he planned to choose cheaper daily necessities than Hecheng County and bought them and took them back.

Jiang Zhen wanted to get oil, but at this time the oil press workshop was not responsible for preparing oil-filling tools for the people who came to buy oil. He couldn't get the oil barrel for the oil for a while, so he gave up buying oil and went to a dyeing workshop to buy thirty taels of silver cloth.

After buying some oil paper, they carefully wrapped the cloth and placed it on the rack of the fishing boat. Jiang Zhen breathed a sigh of relief. The time of the day was almost over.

Early the next morning, Jiang Zhen and Wang Haisheng set off for Hecheng County. This time when they arrived in Hecheng County, it was already dark.

It was getting dark, so Jiang Zhen did not rush to go back to Hexi Village. Instead, he slept on the boat all night. Early the next morning, he took the cloth to the cloth shop in the county town.

There are two cloth shops in Hecheng County, one is a little smaller and the other is a little larger. Both cloth shops have collected their own cloths and dyed them in their own stores to sell them. The ones sold are all very ordinary cloths, and there are only a few colors.

However, they would occasionally go out to buy goods, so when Jiang Zhen brought the cloth to the door, they also collected it. However, the profit here was not much, and the thirty taels of silver cloth was sold at a time.

After half a month of going out, Jiang Zhen earned a total of twenty taels of silver. If others knew about this, those people would probably die of jealousy. After all, Jiang Chengxiang's previous job was only two taels of silver a month, and Zhao Jinge worked as a long-term worker for someone, and only three or four taels of silver was available.

But this is actually not much, and the purchasing power is equivalent to 20,000 yuan in later generations.

After packing the silver, Jiang Zhen went to buy five kilograms of pork, and then headed to Hexi Village.

It was noon when Jiang Zhen arrived in Hexi Village. In the morning, he only spent two cents on the porch in the city. He was already hungry and missed home very much.

With Wang Haisheng, he carried the remaining salted kelp fish on a load, and Jiang Zhen walked to the village. He was thinking about Brother Zhao Jin. Although he was very hungry, he still took a detour to the land of Zhao Dahu's house. As a result, Brother Zhao Jin, who used to work in the field at this time, was not here today.

Jiang Zhen walked home in a sense of loss, planning to cook a meal for Brother Zhao Jin before going to find Brother Zhao Jin, but he didn't expect that he would see Brother Zhao Jin near his home.

For some reason, there were many people around the Zhao family, and there was a short man pulling and pulling at Zhao Jinge... Seeing that the man actually grabbed Zhao Jinge's hand, Jiang Zhen suddenly became angry.

Someone actually dared to tease his man! He really deserves his life!

Jiang Zhen was no longer very happy, but he heard someone say, "Brother Jin, Li Zugen is sincere, you can marry!"

After a moment of "opening", the flames in Jiang Zhen's heart suddenly became a sea of ​​fire. In the past half month, he had been suppressing his temperament outside, but now he couldn't hold back. He threw down the burden he was carrying, and Jiang Zhen rushed over with a shoulder pole.

Brother Zhao Jin is actually very popular now.

Today, he was working in Zhao Dahu, but unexpectedly, halfway through his work, a thin man with four children suddenly came. The man came up and called him "Brother Jin". The four children even came up and called him mother!

Hearing that mom, Brother Zhao's face turned dark and he also recognized the man - who was not Li Zugen?

Although Jiang Zhen sometimes looks careless, he is very energetic, but this person is different. He is thin and small, and obviously a bit vulgar.

The most important thing is that when Jiang Zhen looked at him, his eyes were full of him, which made him blush and his heart beat, but this person was the opposite... Brother Zhao met this man's dodging eyes, and then looked at the four children who were pestering him, and he wanted to learn from Jiang Zhen to beat him.

However, although he is very strong, he is a Shuang'er. When he was a child, he was custodian at home and was not experienced fighting with children of the same age. Later, when he grew up, he would not fight with others, and he felt that he had no idea how to start.

What's more, he was pestered by four children!

Brother Zhao Jin took some effort to pull the four children off him, and scolded Li Zugen to let him leave in their cry. However, Li Zugen refused to leave, so he even pestered Brother Zhao Jin, making him unable to continue working.

When Zhao Dahu, who came to check in the field, saw this scene, he asked Brother Zhao Jin to go home to solve the problem. As a result, Brother Zhao Jin returned home. Li Zugen actually came with his children and even called Zhao Liu's mother to tell him to live in the Zhao family.

He is planning to lie to the Zhao family!
