Several people got up early and worked in darkness for three days. At the end of the temple fair, they sold all the balms. Some people who bought balms on the first day and the second day went back to tell their acquaintances that many people went to Li Mo's stall to buy them on the third day.

After Li Mo sold out all the perfume in her hand, there were still people who came to her. When she saw that, she was disappointed. Seeing this, Li Mo left the address of her home with the other party. She told her that if she wanted to buy it, she could go to her home. At the same time, she also told the people who had bought the perfume that if there was a married girl in her family who wanted to make up, she could go to Daoyuan village to make up.

On the way back, Mei Zi took the cloth bag of dress money, felt the heavy weight in her hand, and her heart was about to fly out. It was too much money. In just three days, she made so much money. She was so big that she didn't take so much money in her hand.

If it wasn't for the fact that she was still outside, Mei Zi would have poured out her money and counted it.

Close to Li Mo, Mei Zi asked in a low voice: "sister-in-law, we sell this perfume very well. So many people come to buy it. After you go back, you can set up a stall in the town to sell it. The business is sure to be good."

Li Mo smiles and shakes his head. "This business can't be done in the town. I'm not going to set up a stall in the town."

"Ah?" Plum opened her eyes, wondering why Li Mo let go of such a good opportunity to make money.

Tie Zi was also puzzled.

Li Mo had to explain in a low voice: "this temple fair, no matter where the vendors will come, after these three days, no one can find anyone, but if you go to the town, it is tantamount to formally competing with those powder shops. If you sell well, people will notice you. If you can open a shop in the town, it's very easy to find someone who doesn't have a backer and want to trouble you The one who has no money and no power can only be bullied by others in vain. Therefore, let's do business in the village. In this way, we can't grab the business of other people's shops. It's irrelevant. "

After Li Mo's explanation, other people suddenly realize that they will be bullied when they go to the town to compete with those shops. How can ordinary people resist.

Plum reverently looked at Li Mo, "sister-in-law, you are still considerate. If I were, I might go to the town to make money."

Li Mo didn't say it again, but talked about the arrangement after going home. "Mei Zi, you and tie Zi have been working hard these days. Don't rush to go home first. Tomorrow we'll make something delicious and have a good dinner to celebrate. Then the day after tomorrow you and I will go to the town to make up. How about going back after coming back?"

"This" Mei Zi hesitated. She had planned to go home tonight. It was too troublesome to live in her brother's and sister-in-law's house, and the family was also in the village. She always felt uncomfortable.

"Don't hesitate. You've been busy these days. You haven't had a good meal. We'll have a good meal tomorrow. You'll have a rest these two days. Don't rush home." Li Mo advised.

Mei Zi looked at tie Zi and saw that tie Zi had no problem. Then she nodded and decided to stay at her brother's house for two more days.

It was already dark when several people rushed home. Li Mo took some people into the room, lit the candle, opened the bag of money, and poured all the money on the bed. For a moment, he only heard the crash of copper plates.

Looking at a big push of copper on the bed, several people are a little excited. It's really a lot of money. How can we see so many copper piled together.

In fact, it's not that there is too much money. It's just that there are lots of coppers. They are too big. If they get together a thousand coppers, they will exchange them for one or two silver. These days, they are too busy to exchange them for silver, so they come back with such a big bag of coppers.

There were too many coppers. Several people counted them together for a long time before they could count them clearly. There were a total of 3300 coppers, that is, more than 320wen.

"Sister-in-law, we've made almost half a cent in three days, more than the family in a year!" Mei Zi was so excited that she couldn't help laughing.

Li Mo chuckled and said, "I didn't make so much. It's not a net profit. I have to remove the 400 Wen money for buying a box and the money for adding facial oil. So I almost made more than 2900 Wen."

Mei Zi is still very happy, "that's a lot. Other people's families can't save two liang silver a year."

Li Mo lowered his head, counted 500 Wen from the copper plate, put it in a purse and put it into Mei Zi's hand. "Mei Zi, you and tie Zi have worked hard these days. This is my sister-in-law's wish."

Plum immediately pushed back, "sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Tie Zi and I don't want money to help. We don't want money!"

Tie Zi also nodded to one side, "sister-in-law, how can I ask for money when my brother and sister come to help? If you give me money, how can Mei Zi and I behave?"

"If you don't come, your brother and I will have to ask other people to help us, and we will still have to give you money. Moreover, you have been delayed for several days. Tie Zi can't go hunting, and your family hasn't done anything. You can lose a lot. Brother and sister-in-law can't let you suffer. Take the money, and later sister-in-law can ask you to help me You two can help each other. If you don't want it, my sister-in-law won't dare to ask you for help next time. "Li Mo shoved the money bag into the cloth pocket of the little tree, which was watching the adults with wide eyes, and touched his head. "Little tree, this is the candy my aunt bought for you. You should put it away."

The little tree was a little confused. He couldn't understand what the adults were saying. He only remembered that he was buying sugar for him. He immediately began to swallow his saliva, but he still remembered that he couldn't ask for other people's things casually. So he grabbed the money bag and looked at his father and mother. His little eyes were eager.

Seeing her son's small eyes, Mei Zi had no choice but to smile. Knowing that she had to accept the money today, she nodded to her son, "little tree, thank you, aunt."

The little tree knew that his mother had agreed with him. He was able to buy sugar. His eyes lit up immediately. His little head bowed to Li Mo, and he said, "thank you, aunt."

Li Mo is sprouted by this child, embrace small tree to kiss, "small tree is really sensible."

On one side, Xiaobao saw that Li Mo was holding xiaoshuqin. In a hurry, he quickly came forward and pulled the xiaoshuqin away from Li Mo's arms. "Aunt Mo, and Xiaobao, you kiss Xiaobao. Xiaoshuis from my aunt's family."

Don't kiss the little tree. The little tree has an aunt. You kiss Xiaobao.

See Xiaobao anxious, a pair of afraid that she was robbed by others, Li Mo smile embrace Xiaobao big kiss, "good good, Mo aunt kiss Xiaobao."

Several adults are looking at Xiaobao's food. They are both happy and sad.

Before Xiaobao, how could he be so lively and cheerful? He always just stayed in the corner quietly and played alone. Now he can laugh and make trouble. This is what a child should look like.

That night, everyone was tired. Several people simply ate a little supper and went to sleep separately. They were tired for several days and couldn't sleep for three hours every day. Once their burden was relieved, they all fell into deep sleep. Only when the sun rose the next day could they wake up completely.

Everyone's spirits are restored. Li Mo takes out the dishes he bought from the Temple Fair yesterday and prepares to make lunch.

The plum is in charge, and Li Mo follows. Song Dashan burns the fire. But half an hour later, a meal is finished. Three big dishes, two vegetables and one soup are made and served on the table. The two little guys' eyes are bright and they don't play any more. They run to the table and sit down to eat. The greedy person is funny.

Li Mo took out the wine left over from the last meal and said, "I'm happy today. Can't we all have a drink when the whole family are eating together?"

Everyone nodded with a smile. Relax and have a drink.

"Plum, plum, you're back, aren't you?" At this time, song's mother with a choking voice came from outside the door, interrupted the people in the room to eat.

Song's mother came in from the door with her eyes slightly red. Behind her, Wang Cuihua and Lin Zhaodi were still holding several children.

Li Mo puts down the chopsticks in his hand and says in secret that the meal is restless.

Mei Zi's face sank when she saw the comer. She pressed her lips tightly and did not speak.

When song's mother saw Mei sitting on the table, her tears began to flow. "Mei Zi, I'm so happy that you're back"

Mei Zi turned her head and didn't look at Song's mother.

Seeing that Meizi ignored her, song's mother trembled and stepped forward, "Meizi, do you still hate your mother? Have you been hating your mother for so many years? Mei Zi, my mother really can't do it. Please forgive my mother "

Mei Zi has no expression, and her voice is extremely cold." you've sold me. We're not a family. You can go quickly. "

Song's mother: "Wu Wu Mei Zi, I'm your mother. At the beginning, my mother had no choice but to sell you. Don't resent my mother, OK? I miss you so much. "

Plum: "since you sold me, don't say anything about whether you want to or not. We're going to have dinner. If you have nothing to do, you can go."

Song's mother looked at Song Dashan anxiously, with tears in her eyes. "Dashan, please persuade your sister to come back, and my mother will make it up to her."

Song Dashan lowered his eyes and said calmly, "Niang, Meizi has been married and has her own home. She's living well now. There's no need to say anything else."

Hearing the meaning of song Dashan dialect, his mother opened her mouth in dismay, "Dashan, what are you saying? It's your sister. Don't you want her to have a family?"

Song Dashan frowned, "Niang, I'll help my sister if she has anything in the future. Don't be afraid that there is no one in her mother's family."

Song's mother didn't expect song Dashan to say that. She looked at him in disbelief. She didn't understand why her two sons suddenly turned cold to her. From childhood to adulthood, the two sons were the ones who would care for her and comfort her when she was sad. They tried to make her not so sad. How did this change?

Song's mother: "Dashan, you, how can you say that"

Song Dashan: "Niang, if there's nothing wrong, you can go home and we'll have dinner."

Shouldn't she stay for dinner? Mother song opened her mouth in surprise and didn't know what to say.
