After farming, I opened a family tree

Chapter 38 Chinese New Year

Today the market in Qingshan Town is crowded with people.

Shen Tang's arm was held tightly by Qin Wanwan.

After saying hello to Liu and the others, Shen Tang went straight to Madam Xiang.

A moment later, while Qin Wanwan was stunned, Shen Tang put away the land deed and banknotes.

"This courtyard was originally inhabited by a widow and her daughter. Her daughter got married a few years ago. Now that she's old, she's going to live with her daughter and her husband."

"Although it's just a house for mother and daughter, it's not small. It has two courtyards. The price is also reasonable, three hundred taels."

"Don't think three hundred taels is too much. The courtyard is in an excellent location, and the people living around it are all wealthy people in the city."

Madam Xiang raised her eyebrows and joked.

"How is it, is the boss satisfied?"

How could I not be satisfied? It was extremely rare for a wealthy family in the city to be able to buy a house with two courtyards.

"For a widowed mother and an orphan to have lived here peacefully for so many years, the location must be excellent. Thank you for your concern, madam."

"As for shops, there are some for sale, but I checked out the locations and they weren't very good, so I wasn't interested."

"I thought it wouldn't be too late for you to see it for yourself after you move in."

The two chatted for a while, and then Shen Tang left with Qin Wanwan, who looked admiring.

Her cousin was amazing! She had a courtyard with two entrances! And banknotes. Although she had never seen many banknotes, she could read.

My cousin has several of those hundred-liang silver notes!

Shen Tang took Qin Wanwan to the clothing store.

The owner of the shop still remembered Shen Tang and was very enthusiastic.

Finally, Qin Wanwan blushed and walked out of the shop with her bag.

"Cousin, you spent so much money, my uncle and the others will feel bad."

"Who told you that this is my parents' money?"

Qin Wanwan was confused. If it wasn't her uncle's money, then whose could it be? It was the same with her aunt's.

"Wanwan, I earned all this money myself."

"what?"

"The workshop being built in the village was also my idea. I can say that I have the final say in the family because it is me who has made our family live a better life. My parents are also happy because of me, so at home, I can do whatever I want."

Shen Tang looked at Qin Wanwan.

No wonder, no wonder my cousin can say that she chose her own path.

Only when you are strong can you resist external forces.

"So, just keep it with peace of mind. Consider it your cousin's New Year's gift to you."

Qin Wanwan nodded, and seemed to be lost in thought throughout the rest of the journey.

When Shen Tang saw this, he just smiled and said nothing.

As for the Liu family, it was incredible. Everyone was hung with things, and even the little cousin was carrying two large bags of snacks.

Shen Qingqing's face also changed from shock to numbness.

My sister-in-law is so capable!

The group returned with a full load.

As soon as they entered the door, there was a knock on the back door.

Qin Yan leaned over to look through the crack of the door.

"Mom, it's my second uncle and grandma."

This is what I smelled.

When Old Mrs. Shen heard that the eldest wife had returned and bought a lot of things, she couldn't sit still anymore.

After knocking on the door for a long time and no one opened it, I finally lost my patience.

"Liu, you used your sister-in-law's money to buy so many things, aren't you ashamed?"

"As the eldest sister-in-law, how can you be so shameless as to deceive your younger sister-in-law like this?"

Old Mrs. Shen's voice was quite loud, and everyone around came out to watch the fun.

"Qingqing, don't be fooled by them. They are just after the money in your pocket!"

"they--"

Old Lady Shen's voice suddenly stopped.

Shen Tang stood at the door with a cold face, holding a pair of tongs in his hand, pointing directly at Old Lady Shen.

"You know, my mind wasn't clear before. Even though it's better now, I don't think it will get worse again. If anyone gets hurt, I won't be responsible!"

Shen Tang originally thought that he just needed to ignore the top relatives, but he didn't expect that their indifference would instead encourage the other party's arrogance.

"I have a bad temper and can't beat my second uncle, but I can definitely handle the old woman and the child."

"I'm saying this now in front of all the villagers. We've already separated and are living our own lives. If you gossip in front of my house again, I'll cut off our relationship. At worst, we'll have a meeting with the government!"

"You, you! I am still Shen Dashan's mother, your grandmother!"

"If you don't leave when I count to three, don't blame me for being ruthless. Three—"

Shen Tang's eyes were so sharp and terrifying that the second wife felt a chill on her back and took a few steps back.

Shen Tang ignored him and closed the door.

Her intuition also told her that the second wife would never give up.

But now it's New Year's Day, and she doesn't want to bring bad luck.

On New Year’s Eve, Shenjia Village is lit up with lights.

Tonight, the smoke from cooking, mixed with the aroma of meat and wine, floats in the sky above the winter night.

Liu prepared a large table and also called Aunt Guihua and the two sisters Shen Li and Shen Dan.

Nine people sat around a table, it was so lively.

"From now on, we'll celebrate the New Year together every year!"

Several elders drank some wine. When Shen Qingqing heard this, envy appeared in her eyes.

"Qingqing, you don't want to go back either. Let's spend the New Year together in the future."

"We live our own lives, not for others. We only have one life, so we should live it happily."

"Come on, come on, children, come and get your New Year's money."

Even Shen Tang was a little excited, as this was her first year in ancient times.

Although it is not as prosperous as modern times, it is still warm and cozy at home.

She has family and friends around her, and next year will surely be as warm as today.

Liu took out a few small red bags.

Each person got one, and several girls gathered together.

When it was opened, there was a hundred coins strung together with a red thread inside.

The twin sisters exclaimed, so many!

What Qin Yan had in his hand was taken away by Shen Qingqing, using the same excuse as in ancient times.

Mom is saving it for you and will give it to you when you grow up.

I'm used to the ancient biological clock and I'm not used to staying up late.

Because of the custom of not using sharp objects on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Liu took a few people to the kitchen to make dumplings.

Shen Dashan took his nephew for a ride on a big horse.

Several girls were inside the house, whispering to each other.

"My sister has really clever hands!"

Shen Li looked at the handkerchief in Shen Tang's hand and couldn't help but sigh!

"I say, we can't find such good craftsmanship in our village."

"If I sell this, it will fetch a good price."

"Really? When we went to the market, I saw someone selling this handkerchief for ten cents each! It wasn't nearly as well embroidered as my cousin's."

Shen Dan turned the handkerchief over and over again, unable to help but admire it.

The people in the surrounding villages are all ordinary farmers, and they don't know how to do embroidery.

The most they do is mend things, and it's considered good if the stitches are good.

How can I embroider?

Something suddenly occurred to Qin Wanwan's mind, but it disappeared in a flash.

"It's snowing! It's snowing!"

Qin Yan's childish and crisp voice came from the yard.

“Yeah, it’s really snowing!”

The whole village was in an uproar.

Because it was snowing, Aunt Guihua took the twins home.

Ruixue is a prosperous year.

The coming year will definitely be a good year.
