Chapter 18

Even though Mingxiu was not so happy with Xie Zhan's attitude, she still listened to his words.

What she wants now is just to make her family's life easier. Making a lot of money is very tempting, but it must be maintained by her family.

Mingxiu lowered his eyes, secretly thinking about who he could give this method to in exchange for benefits.

"There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Now you only need to pack up other things and take them to the town to sell. Find an opportunity to find out how the county magistrate's reputation is now. If he is a good person, you can take the credit for this.

into his hands."

"But the county magistrate... shouldn't be able to give you much money, right?"

Ming's father cautiously interjected. In his opinion, Tubao Village had lived a relatively good life over the years, and there were no excessive taxes. The county magistrate should be an upright official.

How much money can an honest official have? Even if the other party is interested, they will not get any benefit.

"The money we have now is not expensive, it is enough." Mingxiu thought for a while and understood what Xie Zhan meant, "If the county magistrate remembers our good deeds, then our family will have a backer in the future.

Life can be easier."

Nowadays, the villagers in Tubao Village do not take the Ming family seriously. They regard the Ming family as a soft persimmon that everyone can step on. Why?

It was simply because Ming's father and Ming's mother had no children, and their only daughter was stupid in her early years, and she had no relatives or friends. Of course, this also had a lot to do with the two's soft temperament.

Everyone thought that the Ming family would be like this for the rest of their lives. After Mingxiu got married, the Ming family would be considered extinct, so they dared to cause trouble unscrupulously. Whenever the Ming family had any good things, people would try their best to get it.

But if their family had a relationship with the county magistrate, would they even be kind to the magistrate?

In Tubao Village, the sky is high and the emperor is far away. The county magistrate is the earth emperor here and the person with the most power here. With him taking care of him, even if he does nothing but just borrows his name, the life of the Ming family will be much easier.

.

Ming's mother nodded repeatedly, "What Xiu'er said is that as long as there is enough for food and clothing, how can we have so much money?"

She is not greedy, and is even a little timid. When Xie Zhanming said what the use of this pepper was, she had a faint intention to hand it over. Now Mingxiu and Xie Zhan have discussed a feasible plan, which sounds good.

It could be of great benefit to her family, so why would she refuse?

With Ming's mother's approval, Mingxiu felt relieved.

She loves money, but she also knows the importance of it. She is now focused on planning for her family. If her parents blame her for the money, she would rather not find it.

"Let's go to the town tomorrow to set up a stall and inquire about the county magistrate's situation."

Mingxiu lowered her eyes slightly. She was just a peasant girl now. If she wanted to see the county magistrate, it would be difficult. She couldn't help but focus on Xie Zhan.

Since this person can come up with this plan, he should have a way to meet the county magistrate.

What is his identity?

Mingxiu didn't ask after all. After agreeing, she and Ming's father and mother packed up the things they were going to sell in the town and put them on the cart.

This cart was roughly made by Ming's father. After weighing the weight of the cart and the distance to the town, Mingxiu secretly decided that he would definitely buy an ox cart when the house was repaired.

If setting up a stall in the town is feasible, they will definitely go to the town frequently in the future. It is not possible to rely on Ming's father's manpower alone. Although Ming's father is strong, he is still an old man after all.

If he had to work so hard, Mingxiu would feel bad after all.

"Is this your first time setting up a stall in town?"

Mingxiu found a place, and after setting up the stall with Ming's father and Ming's mother, the mother-in-law selling vegetables next to her came up to talk to her.

"You guys are here late. The good places are all taken up. I'm afraid there won't be much business here."

From the looks of Mingxiu and the others, you can tell that they got up early in the morning and were on their way, but they got up early, and the morning market in the town opened earlier. If they came from other places, they often had to wait at the entrance of the town before dawn.

It's just too late.

Mingxiu also realized what was wrong with him, and coughed slightly embarrassedly, "I thought we came early enough..."

Seeing Mingxiu's appearance, her mother-in-law smiled kindly and said, "It's okay. There is a first time for everything. I came back late this time. I will know when to show up next time."

Her eyes fell on Ming's stall, "Are you selling wild vegetables?"

Although she had been talking to Mingxiu, her eyes were directed at Ming's father. Obviously Ming's father was the one who made the decision in this family.

Ming's father was in a dilemma, and his eyes for help fell on Mingxiu.

"When we went up the mountain, we found some fresh wild vegetables and fruits. We tasted them ourselves and thought they were good. We also asked the doctor to make sure they were not poisonous before we dared to sell them."

Mingxiu smiled and took a plump apple from the basket for the mother-in-law to taste.

"This is something that Doctor Zou has checked and confirmed is not poisonous. Would you like to try it?"

Dr. Zou is very famous in the town. As soon as the mother-in-law heard that it had been inspected by Dr. Zou, most of her original hesitation about this fruit disappeared. She thought that she and Mingxiu met by chance, and there was no grudge between them. In addition, they were

Things to be sold should not be poisonous.

He hesitated for a moment and then took it.

"How embarrassing."

Mingxiu didn't take it seriously, "You also know that this fruit is rare, and many people have never seen it before or don't recognize it. If you taste it and it is good, you can help recommend it to other customers later."

She did not hide her purpose. Aunt Niu had come to trouble her before because of this apple. Although you may not meet people from the bumpkin village in the town, it is always a good thing if you can have someone to vouch for her.

The mother-in-law was obviously already aware of this kind of thing. Seeing Mingxiu speaking out so openly, not only was she not unhappy, but she also had some appreciation for this little girl.

"What a nimble little girl, big brother is so lucky."

It was a good thing for his daughter to be praised. Ming's father scratched his head naively and said, "You're welcome."

Ming's mother was also happy. When she was not bullied, Ming's mother was still clear-minded. She looked at Mingxiu angrily and said, "Auntie, please stop praising her, otherwise this girl's tail will be raised to the sky."

Seeing them chatting, Mingxiu just smiled shyly and stood in front of the stall waiting for the customers to arrive.

This was the busiest time in the town. Although no one was visiting yet, Mingxiu was not in a hurry.

The sun gradually became stronger. The old woman finished drinking the water she brought and took a hesitant bite of the apple Mingxiu gave her.

"This fruit is so sour and sweet. How do you plan to sell it?" Her stall had gradually reached its bottom. When it was time to go back, she saw that Ming's stall hadn't opened yet, so she wanted to take care of it.

Of course, it’s also because the fruit is really good.

"Originally we ordered two for one penny. If you like it, just take two back and try them." Mingxiu stopped Ming's mother from talking and said to the old woman with a smile.
