Cao Zhenzhu didn't believe it: "Didn't you earn more than two taels in August?"

  Han Jiang said: "It doesn't cost money to raise pigs? Do you think so much pig food is blown by the wind? And the meat you eat and the chicken soup you drink don't cost money?"

  Cao Zhenzhen rolled his eyes and whispered: "Brother has only been raising pigs in the past six months, and I haven't hunted much game. The money you earn for pig food is all spent on it. When the pigs are sold, eldest brother will have to pay more." Let’s order some pocket money.”

  There was some truth to this, and Han Jiang finally didn't reply.

  During the twelfth lunar month, every household rushes to buy meat for the New Year. The prices of chicken, duck, fish, pig, firewood, rice, oil, and salt have all gone up a bit. It can be said to be the most expensive time of the year.

  In Chen Jiao's chicken coop, a total of twenty-eight chickens survived. Some died of illness, and some were stolen by weasels...

  Knowing that the weasel would steal chickens made Chen Jiao very angry. It was like a weasel getting angry, which made Han Yue laugh all the time.

  Looking at the chickens in the pen now, Han Yue is quite satisfied thinking about the sweetness and the few quarrels this year.

  Chen Jiao kept eight hens to lay eggs and one rooster to crow. Then Han Yue caught and tied up the remaining nineteen, and tied up a wild boar and took them to the county town to sell. After half a year , after Han Yue's careful care, the fourteen surviving wild boar cubs have grown to 200 pounds. Since things are so precious, Han Yue plans to sell them one at a time and would rather run a few more times. County towns also have to sell at high prices.

  Han Yue sold the first male wild boar for a good price of eighty taels. As for Chen Jiao's chickens, they were sold for a total of five hundred wen, which was more cost-effective than those sold in the town.

  After selling the wild boar, Han Yue went to the cloth shop and pulled four bolts of fine cloth, one for each of his two younger brothers and two wives. It was a celebration, since he needed to buy new clothes for the New Year anyway. Han Yue also went shopping in jewelry stores and was dazzled by what he saw. Finally, he decided to take Miss Jiao into the city with him in a few days and let her choose by herself.

  After returning home, Han Yue handed the silver and copper plates to Chen Jiao, and then asked Chen Jiao to send two pieces of fine cloth from the second room.

  Chen Jiao hugged three horses. Who doesn't know how to do honorable work? Then she smiled and let Cao Zhenzhen pick the two horses for women first.

  Cao Zhenzhu looked at the two identical pieces of fine cloth and understood Chen Jiao's purpose.

  She took a random one and asked Chen Jiao: "Sister-in-law, how much money did you sell that pig for?"

  Han Jiang also looked over.

  Chen Jiao said truthfully: "Your eldest brother is very lucky today. As soon as he entered the city, he met a rich man and gave him eight taels in one fell swoop. Tomorrow, this good thing will probably be gone. Those in charge of procurement will try their best to lower the price." , I make a lot of money for myself."

  Cao Zhenzhen glanced at Han Jiang.

  After a while, Han Jiang couldn't help but go to the West Room and rummaged through the West Room, but couldn't find the familiar money jar.

  Okay, when the family had no money, the eldest brother put the money jar outside for public use. Now that he has made a lot of money, the eldest brother and his sister-in-law keep it private!

  Han Jiang was very angry and felt that his eldest brother had changed!

  Cao Zhenzhen sat on the warm bed, holding her son in her arms and feeding him, and said sarcastically: "I've said it before, with my sister-in-law here, how can I still see you brothers in the eyes of my elder brother? You are stupid, and you will give all the money you make to the father-in-law."

  Han Jiang was upset and ignored her.

  Next, Han Yue went to the county town every day to sell wild boars at prices ranging from four taels to ten taels.

  There were fourteen piglets, two boars were kept by the family, and two were given to Mr. Tian. Only ten could be sold, plus the big sow that sold for a high price of ten taels.

  On the twenty-third day of the twelfth lunar month, Han Yue was going to the county town to sell his last wild boar, and asked Chen Jiao to go with him.

  Before leaving, Chen Jiao locked the money box containing sixty taels of public accounts, hid it in the closet, and finally locked the closet.

  Han Yue felt that Miss Jiao was too cautious. No matter how confused and bold Cao Zhenzhu was, his second brother would not dare to come and rummage in their house.

  Chen Jiao said angrily: "If I lose it, I'm afraid you three will ask me to pay for it, but I can't afford it."

  Han Yue leaned against the closet door and kissed her frivolously: "One hundred taels can't compare to you."

  Chen Jiao snorted: "You mean, you can beat me with just one thousand taels?"

  Han Yue smiled: "Mountains of gold and silver are not as good as yours, okay?"

  Chen Jiaotian blushed.

  The couple kissed sweetly for a while, and then walked out the door side by side. They saw Cao Zhenzhu coming out of the side room, followed by Han Jiang.

  "Brother, sister-in-law, I want to buy a pair of tiger-head shoes for Brother Sheng and ask his father to go to the city with you. The things in the city are beautiful." Cao Zhenzhen said with a natural smile.

  Han Yue looked at his younger brother.

  Han Jiang said bravely: "I haven't been to the city for a long time."

  Chapter 23

  On the dirt road leading to the county seat, Han Yue sat on the left side of the cab driving the carriage, and Chen Jiao sat on the inside of him, facing south. When Han Yue tilted his head, the couple could talk to each other eye to eye.

  Inside the car, Han Jiang, the second eldest child, was face to face with a black-haired wild boar tied up with five stripes.

  Chen Jiao didn't know if Han Jiang insisted on following them into the city, just to buy tiger-head shoes or for some other purpose. She only knew that Han Yue's promise last night to take her to pick out jewelry was probably impossible to fulfill today, dear. With her brother by her side, Han Yue bought her good jewelry. Will Han Jiang also want the same for Cao Zhenzhu?

  Even if Han Yue was willing to part with it, Chen Jiao was reluctant to part with it. Han Yue almost pulled out this litter of wild boars day and night. After finally selling it for money, Chen Jiao would rather not give up the jewelry than waste it on Cao Zhenzhu’s head. .

  Han Yue is also thinking about this matter.

  Ever since Miss Dajiao came in, she has been living a poor life with him. Only in the past six months can she eat more meat. As early as the day when Han Yue hunted back the big wild boar, he promised to buy jewelry for her after making money. The Chinese New Year is coming soon. Today, Han Yue must find a way to fulfill this promise, otherwise he will have no shame in pestering Miss Jiao to have children again.

  The city gate is in front of us. Han Yue said to his younger brother: "Go and buy shoes for Brother Sheng. Your sister-in-law and I will go to the market first. After you finish shopping, go find us over there."

  The wild boars sold quickly. Han Yue planned to take Miss Jiao to a jewelry store after selling the wild boars. If the second brother went to the market, he would have to wait by the donkey cart first. Han Yue had acquaintances at the market to help look after the car, so he was not afraid of losing it.
