Travel to ancient times and become rich women with your bestie

Chapter 150 Ahead

The two of them had some idea in their minds. A set of dining tables would cost eighty cents. A study table would be much more expensive than a dining table.

"It's not cheap. You ordered so many things. In previous years, we couldn't sell all these things all year round. Besides, this table doesn't need to be carved or rounded. It just needs to be put together to prevent it from falling over. It's not worth much."

"Tiantong, is what your mother said true?" The two of them really felt that this was a bit too cheap.

"It's really not that troublesome." Li Tiantong said seriously.

"Oh, your elder brother said that I am a monkey if I get involved in hair. Are you still afraid that I will let you suffer? Besides, this is for the children to learn to read and write. It is also a good idea to collect eighty-eight cents. It is most appropriate." Sister Li pulled the two people over.

"Okay, then we'll pay you. If you regret it later, don't come to my house. Once we leave this house, we'll have paid for the goods and we won't recognize them."

The two men took out the money, counted it and handed it to Sister Li.

The two of them were prepared to accept the kindness. Since they had offered this price, they thought they could make some money, it was just a matter of how much they could make, so they didn't want to reject the kindness. Besides, the intention was indeed good.

"Hahaha, no, no, I won't go. Even if I regret it and swallow my anger, and hide in bed crying, I won't go. You two sisters, I really like listening to you two talk." Sister Li received the money and laughed so hard that she fell over.

"If you like, come over to our place often. We also like to talk to you, sister-in-law. Sister-in-law, Brother Li, you guys are busy. We will take the table back now so as not to delay your work."

"Take a break, why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's a good opportunity to move the table to the village chief's house. We have something to discuss with him," Zheng Yuan explained.

"Is that so? Fine then. We won't keep you here. Tiantong, Lao Li, the three of us will help move it over. Meixiang, you stay at home." Sister Li said as she hung the stool upside down on the table and prepared to move forward with the set.

"No, no, there are exactly eight of us, there is no need to trouble you." The two men were embarrassed to trouble them.

"What's the trouble? It's not a big distance. Besides, Sizhu is so small, you still want him to move it. Three girls should move less. Girls should not be too tired."

The two men felt a little embarrassed after hearing her say that, and they were also afraid that they could not move the small four pillars. The girls were quite strong, but they knew not to lift anything too heavy, so they accepted their kindness.

But everyone in the family knew that Zheng Yuan was going to have a good time, so they stopped her from moving. Tao'er and Mei'er moved one set, Sizhu went to help Xu Hui Niang carry the stools, but Zheng Yuan didn't get one, so she also went forward to take the stools from Li Saozi and Duan Minmin.

The village chief's house is in the center of the village, and Carpenter Li's house is at the end of the village. It takes some time to walk there, not to mention that they were carrying a table, so the group walked very slowly.

When there are a lot of people, they will inevitably talk about gossip.

"Hey, girls, did Li Bangchun's wife come to treat you to a drink today?" Sister Li walked aside and asked the two of them out of curiosity.

"I came. We were still cooking this morning and I came."

"Yes, she came to our house this morning to invite us. When I asked her where her daughter-in-law was from, she was hesitant and refused to tell me how much the betrothal gift cost."

Sister Li looked around and saw no one. She moved closer to the two of them and asked mysteriously, "Do you know why their family is in such a hurry to do things?"

"Why?"

It seemed that Sister Li had heard some inside information, and the two of them were also gossipy, so they naturally leaned over to listen.

"I heard from Wang Xiumei that it seemed that the second boy got the girl pregnant!"

Oh my god, so advanced?

It is indeed not uncommon for unmarried women to get pregnant in modern times, and it’s no big deal. But this was in ancient times. Were they so advanced?

And wasn't it said that in ancient times, women who lost their virginity before marriage would be thrown into a pig cage? Why did their family hold such a grand ceremony?

Judging from the fact that Zhao was very secretive and unwilling to say more, it seems that people in this era don't take such things lightly.

"Where did Wang Xiumei get this information? Maybe she just made it up."

This was too much harm to an ancient woman, and without confirmation, the two were unwilling to believe it.

"Then I don't know. But Wang Xiumei is the most well-informed person in this village. There is no gossip that she can't find out. I think there must be some basis for this. I'm only telling you guys about it. Let's not spread it to anyone else."

"By the way, did she ask you to help in the kitchen when she came this morning?" Sister Li also noticed that the two of them were not very willing to talk about this, so she changed the subject.

"No, let's go have some drinks."

On the contrary, when the villagers do things, your family helps my family, and my family helps your family. After helping others, when it’s time to do things for yourself, no one will come to help.

I don’t know if it was because of the two men’s bad reputation or for some other reason, but I didn’t hear Zhao mention it that day.

They just don't say anything, they are happy to have some free time.

"She is at a loss. I heard from Lao Li that the dishes in your house are so delicious. After we went there to eat last time, when we came back and saw the dishes that Meixiang and I made, both of us sighed. If you don't know, you would think that we treated them unfairly."

Sister Li gave a teasing look to the father and son walking in front of her.

Carpenter Li and Li Tiantong felt a little embarrassed by what she said, and they looked like greedy boys, so they quickened their pace and walked forward.

"Sister-in-law, you are good at talking, but you are not so exaggerated. But if you like it, we will invite you to dinner some other day, and you are not allowed to refuse."

"That's great. As long as you call me, I will come. If you don't come for a free meal, you're a fool."

......

The three of them chatted about this and that along the way, and soon they arrived at the village chief's house.

Carpenter Li put down the table and knocked on the door.

"Coming!"

Footsteps were heard, and the door quickly opened from the inside, and the village chief's wife stuck her head out.

With the shadow cast by the big black dog Hua Niu last time, the two of them unconsciously took a step back.

Fortunately, Hua Niu doesn’t have the habit of greeting the door.

"Auntie!"

"Auntie!"

"Grandma the village chief!"

......

Seeing that it was them, the village head's wife moved aside and said, "Hey! You are here, come in quickly, come in quickly."

"Auntie, is Hua Niu here?"

The two of them lowered their heads and looked into the door, preventing them from entering.

Seeing them like this, the village chief's wife remembered the last time the two of them were knocked down by Hua Niu, and hurriedly shouted inside.

"Old man! Keep an eye on Hua Niu!"

"Come in, Hua Niu is here with me!" The village chief's voice came from inside.

The two men finally felt relieved. Although Hua Niu turned around and wagged her tail at them last time, her expression changed so quickly that the two men were still frightened.

"Come in, it's okay. Hua Niu won't bite anyone as long as her family is around. And Hua Niu already knew you guys last time, she was just afraid of Tian Tong and the others."

The village chief's wife came out and helped them move their things in.

When they entered the yard, the village chief was sitting under the eaves and Hua Niu was sitting at his feet. She had heard the noise and her ears pricked up.

The three people from Carpenter Li's family had never seen Hua Niu before, and they were frightened. They stood there with the table in their hands and dared not come forward.

When Hua Niu saw the stranger, he immediately sounded the alarm and made a low growl in his throat, as if warning the stranger who had entered his territory.

"Hua Niu! That's a guest! How rude!"

The village chief slapped Hua Niu on the head, and she instantly stopped moving. She lay down obediently at the village chief's feet, smiling at the few people with her innocent big eyes.

Hey! This Hua Niu is simply a spirit. The village chief's family has taken good care of her.

Carpenter Li and his colleagues helped to arrange the tables neatly in a side room as requested by the village chief, then said hello and went back.
