Li Shengfang went to Jiang Siqian's house and called Li Yaohong as soon as she entered the door. She asked her to prepare the teapot and tea set quickly and rushed to the salt shop in the middle street to boil water. She was worried that Li Yaohong would not be active, so she anxiously said that Jiang Siqian was thirsty and wanted to drink water. In the end, she also emphasized that the shopkeeper wanted to drink water.
Li Yaohong and her mother-in-law were at home collecting soles. When she saw Li Shengfang rush in and shout before she could stand firm, she was instinctively shocked. She thought that her husband and Li Shengfang had a fight and that a war had broken out between the two of them, causing Li Shengfang to come over to punish her.
When she heard that Jiang Siqian wanted to drink water, Li Yaohong was relieved. However, she was not convinced. This kind of small matter was worth Li Shengfang making a fuss about. If she really married a master, her brain would also learn to live like a prince. She no longer had the wisdom to stay calm in the face of danger.
Li Yaohong wanted to be cold to Li Shengfang and didn't want to take the initiative to talk to her. She was used to being a noble woman. However, Li Yaohong remembered that her husband could run a salt shop. She didn't want to offend Li Shengfang. The greatest joy in her life was to have money. Even if she couldn't dig out gold, silver, and jewelry, Jiang Siqian could rely on his shrewdness to make money.
At the thought of money, Li Yaohong's brain, which lacked the nourishment of money, instantly became happy. It was as if a silver mountain had been erected in front of her, allowing her to spend as she pleased.
Therefore, she no longer hated Li Shengfang's tyranny. For the sake of money, she was willing to kneel at Li Shengfang's feet and call her sister. She would focus on being her sister for the rest of her life. She was even willing to lower her seniority and call Li Shengfang aunt or aunt.
Ordinary people who stood on the side of pure material benefits and struggled for life would be like Li Yaohong at this moment. They would sell all their dignity just to obtain material enjoyment.
Li Yaohong quickly got up and agreed to Li Shengfang's order. She patted the dust off her body and turned to her mother-in-law beside her. She said to take care of the two children and went to the salt shop to bring tea to Jiang Siqian.
Li Shengfang interrupted. She didn't bring tea, but brought the teapot to the shop to boil tea. The shop was opening tomorrow, and she was worried that Jiang Siqian would be too busy to come back for dinner.
Li Yaohong quickly asked. How could she work if she didn't eat? Could it be that Jiang Siqian had become an immortal?
Li Shengfang rolled her eyes and said how could she not eat? In the future, she would cook in the shop. In order to lure Li Yaohong to take the initiative to cook for Jiang Siqian, she comforted Jiang Siqian's mother at the same time.
Li Shengfang said that the living conditions in the shop were good. They even burned coal to cook. It was not like burning firewood, which was smoky. There was basically no smoke and it was relatively clean. The shop was in the middle street, which was the most prosperous main street in Xikou Village. There were many vendors selling vegetables and meat. Jiang Siqian would definitely be able to eat well.
Jiang Si Qian's mother listened and laughed, sighing that the days were getting better and better. She was already old, and she didn't have many days to live. She no longer cared about enjoying life. As long as the children lived well, she and the child's father were at ease.
Li Shengfang lowered her head to show her politeness and comforted the auntie. When Si Qian's shop makes money, you will also enjoy the happiness. The children's future depends on the guidance of the two of you. It is also a blessing that you have saved for a lifetime for the family to live a good life.
Jiang Siqian's mother listened to Li Shengfang's words and couldn't help but fall in love with her. She would rather have her daughter-in-law than the wooden Li Yaohong.
In her excitement, she wanted to say a few more words to show off her elder's aura, but before she could open her mouth, she was blocked by Li Shengfang's machine-gun words. She knew that she was uncultured and could not be strong with a cultured woman like Li Shengfang, so she could only let the two young women handle the matter. She turned around and picked up her grandson, Jiang Zhaocong, pretending to be obedient and coaxing the child to hide the sudden disappointment in her heart.
On the surface, Li Shengfang respected Jiang Siqian's mother, afraid that offending his mother would affect the relationship between the two. In fact, she looked down on Jiang Siqian's illiterate mother. In addition, when she was old, she liked to nag, which made Li Shengfang's quick-witted personality instinctively hate her.
Li Shengfang had lived in a rich family for a long time. Although she had a good conscience, she did not like the poor in her bones. She wondered if there was something wrong with their brains if they worked hard but were not rich. So much so that he could not find a better way to get rich through labor.
Although Li Shengfang had read books, she had not developed a way of thinking that could see through political phenomena. The so-called reading dead books was her reading state that was detached from the reality of society.
Therefore, Li Shengfang could not use her political observation to analyze the root cause of the people's hard life but not wealth.
Since ancient times, the standard of living of the people had to be linked to the political form in reality. If one looked at the lives of the people from a purely economic perspective, they would definitely be seriously misled.
The rulers of the Qing Dynasty were corrupt and incompetent. They only cared about enjoying themselves and had no intention or ability to guide and manage the economic order at all levels of society. As a result, many unscrupulous people relied on the evil forces to reap without sowing. They plundered most of the wealth essence of the Chinese society and squandered it wantonly. Most of the people worked themselves to death and could only obtain a small amount of wealth to survive.
Therefore, rulers who were not good at balancing the wealth of the people would become public enemies in the struggle of the majority of the people calling for equality of wealth. In the end, they would lose all power in their hands and go down in history.
Li Shengfang couldn't think of so much. She was just a commoner who purely ate. The greatest happiness in her life was not to benefit others and become famous. She only regarded eating, sleeping, and having fun as the happiest moment in her life. Lying in the arms of her beloved Jiang Siqian was what Li Shengfang thought was the happiest enjoyment.
Li Shengfang saw Jiang Siqian's mother turn around and carry Jiang Zhaocong to play under the big banyan tree in the corner of the courtyard. She couldn't help but roll her eyes and curl her lips to show her disdain.
When Li Yaohong saw her expression, she couldn't help but laugh. Then, she followed Li Shengfang's meaning and said,"Old people are like this. Si Qian's mother loves to nag the most. It annoys me so much. I really want to split up with them."
At this point, she looked at Li Shengfang again. Seeing that she was interested in listening, she continued. She was afraid that Jiang Siqian would die to save face for being filial, so she had to give up.
Li Shengfang scolded her in her heart. She dared to talk about the separation in front of Jiang Siqian. She was not afraid that he would be angry and beat her up. Because Jiang Siqian mentioned his parents at home, his words and deeds were very respectful. There was no chance for Li Yaohong to drive a wedge between them.
Moreover, Li Shengfang could seduce Jiang Siqian, which was enough to prove that Li Yaohong had no place in Jiang Siqian's heart. A housewife who lacked the support of a man had a very low probability of having the right to lead the family.
However, because she also hated Jiang Siqian's mother, she didn't dislike Li Yaohong discussing family matters like this. However, she couldn't interrupt too much. If Jiang Siqian's family heard it, it would affect her relationship with Jiang Siqian.
So, she changed the topic and instructed Li Yaohong to quickly pack up the teapot and tea set. She quickly went to the middle street to make tea, so that the two men who worked would not be anxious and angry. Not only would it affect her relationship with Jiang Siqian, the salt shop business could not open on time, and her husband Zhou Xueti would also look down on her.
Zhou Xueren was worried that he would be held accountable for selling official salt, so he didn't want to have any contact with official salt. He asked Jiang Siqian to be the shopkeeper. His wife, Li Shengfang, came and went between the salt shop and his family to pay close attention to the salt shop's market. She mainly supervised Jiang Siqian to prevent him from taking away his family's money.
According to Zhou Xueren's traditional mentality of looking down on women, he should not have handed such an important matter to Li Shengfang. He should have personally dealt with Jiang Siqian and strictly monitored Jiang Siqian's business activities. At the critical moment, he needed to use the power of a hooligan to deter Jiang Siqian so that he would not have evil thoughts in front of a large amount of silver. He would hide the silver and move it back to his home. When the limelight passed, he would take out the money and become a new generation of rich people. Zhou Xueren would suffer a big loss.
Therefore, Zhou Xueren arranged for his wife to manage the salt shop business, but he was not sure. When he saw Li Shengfang, he always reminded her to say something, saying something not to be fooled, hinting that Jiang Siqian was not an honest person. He must be careful. After the salt shop business closed every day, he must clear the silver and take it home quickly, lest the store accumulated too much silver. Jiang Siqian was greedy and would run away with the money.
Li Shengfang heard her husband's worry and couldn't help but roll her eyes at him. She let out a few cold laughs from her mouth, causing goosebumps to appear on Zhou Xueren's body. She suspected that her wife had just entered the business world and had already become a Jianghu person. She was stained with the evil spirit of Sun Erniang in Water Margins.
Li Shengfang's academic experience made her look down on her husband's worries. A man who didn't understand psychology wanted to become a fine man? It was simply mocking the intelligence of an intellectual.
