Because the Ji family's tip was received by the shopkeeper in time, shopkeeper Ye always kept it in mind and was very concerned about the Ji family's affairs. It didn't take long to find the green bricks they needed to build a house for them.

Now that the materials are in place, it’s time to repair the house.

Every household in the village has a young and strong labor force. Nowadays, people in the village only need help when repairing houses.

The Ji family is kind-hearted and knows that every household in Niutou Village is tending crops, so they want to hire someone to repair their houses and need some money.

They gave each person twenty cents a day and two meals.

This is comparable to the money you can earn by carrying bags for others at the pier, and you don’t have to walk that far, and you don’t have to worry about whether you can get a job or not.

Almost as soon as the news came out from the Ji family, many families in the village rushed over to make up the numbers, including the two Zhang Dazhuang brothers.

Now is not the busy time for farming, the wives at home can weed the fields, and the men can naturally free up their hands to build houses and make money.

Mrs. Ji asked everyone to make dry rice, and for lunch, she would ask her son to buy some meat from the city. If those men were lucky, they would be able to taste some meat in the dishes.

If I grab a piece of meat the size of my thumb, I will find a separate bowl to put it in. If I don't want to eat it, I will take it home to my children and my wife.

Anyway, there is plenty of food to take care of here, and they have a lot of strength, but meat is rare! They are also happy to save it for the children at home.

Seeing this made Ji Miaomiao extremely emotional.

The supplies are so scarce now that men are reluctant to eat even a piece of meat.

Just as the foundation of the family house was slowly being laid, the Ji family's new wine was brewed.

New wine is made by adding pears and some other ingredients. It is not only mixed with a strong aroma of wine, but also has a refreshing fruity aroma.

Combined together, the spiciness of the wine is well balanced by the fruity aroma, forming a delicious fruit wine.

The Ji family fell in love with it as soon as they tasted it. Brother Duan happened to make a batch of small jars with patterns based on the pictures Su Xiuer had drawn before. They looked compact and cute, and were very different from the jars sold on the market.

Mrs. Ji asked her children and grandchildren to put the wine into jars and seal them. After Shopkeeper Ye arrived, she took Shopkeeper Ye to see them.

Shopkeeper Ye had this intention when he asked the Ji family to make some jars, but he didn't expect that the Ji family would be so smart and the results would be even better than he imagined.

Looking at the exquisite canned wine, shopkeeper Ye remembered the recent headache that Yuan Wai had, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

This Ji family is really their noble family!

Once something bothers you, the Ji family can help you solve the trouble right away!

As his thoughts flowed, Shopkeeper Ye smiled and said:

"Aunt Ji, I have collected all this wine. If it sells well, I will follow this pattern! The wine is much better than I imagined."

After saying this, he took out forty taels of silver from his pocket.

Mrs. Ji put away the money, and the family sent Shopkeeper Ye away with smiles. They left the yard. Duan Fang was still waiting anxiously at the door.

"How's it going? Aunt Ji, have you collected the wine?"

Duan Fang was a little anxious.

Are you not in a hurry? Although my brother is now able to walk on his legs, he also suffered some sequelae and became a cripple.

If he went out to work as a day laborer, he would not be wanted at all. He would either have to farm at home or run a kiln to make porcelain.

Therefore, the Ji family's wine jar business must not be lost this time. The eldest brother and sister-in-law of the family are still waiting for her reply.

Mrs. Ji smiled and gave the letter:

"Shopkeeper Ye made a great deal! Let your elder brother bake it with confidence. This can be regarded as the deposit silver I give to your elder brother!"

With that said, Mrs. Ji stuffed a dozen silver ingots into her hand.

Duan Fang looked at the shining silver ingot in his hand in disbelief, almost feeling like he was hallucinating.

Did she read that right? This is ten taels of silver!

This amount of money can be used to build a house!

My eldest brother usually works very hard at the dock carrying bags for others, and can only earn a few dozen taels of silver a day. Now that the Ji family has asked for a deposit, they will directly give him ten taels of silver!

Duan Fang was completely stunned.

After reacting, he quickly refused:

"Aunt Ji, you don't have to be so polite. We all remember your kindness to us. The money you paid for my eldest brother's medicine last time has not been returned to you, so there is no need to take so much money!"

Mrs. Ji also likes to associate with such upright people as the Duan brothers and sisters. When she saw this, she smiled and said:

"Okay, don't be polite to me. These jars have helped us a lot. Didn't you see that I didn't tell you the money for this batch of jars? Just treat it as if you paid me back. The deposit is here

Leave it here, after the deposit is paid, there will be five copper coins in a jar!"

With that said, Mrs. Ji rudely drove them away.

Duan Fang looked at the silver ingot in her hand with tears in her eyes, and looked at Mrs. Ji with tears in her eyes.

Mrs. Ji is a good person! This can be seen from the fact that she went to her parents' house with her to save her brother.

Before, my younger brother brought them to Niutou Village just because he gave them meat.

But after getting along for a long time, they are still willing to help each other because of their character.

Now her family is full of gratitude to the Ji family, and she is determined to let her brother make pots well and repay the Ji family.

After leaving Ji's house, Duan Fang rushed to Niujiao Village without stopping.

It was better to arrive early than to arrive by chance. She had just walked outside the yard when she heard her second sister-in-law scolding her angrily.

"Now that he is a cripple, this will drag down the whole family! The money for the medicine your man takes is not the hard-earned money of the family? As an uncle, just because your man takes medicine, your nephews and others have no eggs to eat.

Are you sorry?"

You thought it was not enough, so he continued:

"I've finally been able to work in the fields. If I don't help my family with crops, what's the use of guarding that shabby kiln every day? Nowadays, people don't have enough food to eat. Who will buy those jars of yours? I think you really deserve it.

I starved to death with my uncle."

The Duan family's second sister-in-law's surname is Yi, and her name is Yi Chunhua.

Yi Chunhua has always been a lazy and evil woman, but she is good at giving birth to sons. She has had three children for four years as soon as she entered the house, adding three sons to the Duan family. In addition, the second elder of the Duan family loves the second wife, so she usually does no work at home.

Before the Duan family was separated, the eldest family almost took over everything. She relied on the favor of her two elders every day to help others at home, scolding this and that, and no one liked her.

Duan Fang had long disliked her. When he heard what she said, he entered the courtyard angrily. As expected, Yi Chunhua was standing in the courtyard of the big house, arrogant.

When he saw her coming back, he raised his eyebrows:

"Hey, who do I think you are? Isn't this my sister-in-law? What's wrong? When your eldest brother has something to do, you run to your parents' house every day. When your second brother has something to do, you just act like a turtle! Little sister, you're not so biased.

of."
