Chapter 224 Unreasonable trouble
The morning light was just breaking, the sky was gradually turning red, and the crowing of chickens and barking of dogs woke up the sleeping village.
After using some mint hydrosol last night, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin both felt that the oiliness on their faces was alleviated a lot.
The original skin of these two bodies is not particularly good. Due to years of malnutrition and exposure to wind and sun, although there are not many pores on the face, there are many freckles, and the skin is also relatively rough.
The two of them did not neglect their appetite during this time and took good care of their bodies, but their faces began to become oily. I guess their natural skin is oily, but due to malnutrition, the oily skin has been turned into dry skin.
Now that you have enough nutrition, you need to pay attention to oil control. Don't let the freckles not fade, and the oil secretion will cause new problems such as enlarged pores and blackheads.
After washing and cleaning up, they went to Zheng Yuan's house and took out some mint hydrosol and asked the children to come over and splash some water on it.
The girls all love beauty and know that this thing is good for the skin, so they followed the two men and carefully applied it on their faces until it was absorbed through massage.
The three naughty boys thought it was too troublesome. They just followed the instructions carefully last night because they saw it for the first time and thought it was novel. But now they just smeared it on their faces in a few strokes without caring whether it was absorbed or not.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin tried to persuade them earnestly, but the three boys just said that they were not delicate girls and did not need such good skin. This might be the difference between boys and girls, so the two stopped persuading them.
Anyway, they just need to remember to apply it every day. Even though various short video platforms nowadays promote the importance of skin care, there are still many boys who don’t even have a bottle of facial cleanser, let alone know what lotion is. It’s already very good that these skinny guys can remember to apply it every day.
After breakfast, the children went to school and the two went to the workshop as usual.
Before I got close, I heard someone arguing and the voice of Old Lady Chen trying to stop the fight.
The two were startled and quickly quickened their pace.
"Second Aunt, you are so unkind! You knew where the roses were, but you secretly picked them!" a sharp female voice shouted.
"It's funny what you said. I know why I told you that. Do you know you will tell me?" The other one was not to be outdone.
"We are all family, so what's wrong with making money together?"
"We and my eldest brother have separated a long time ago, not to mention your generation. How can you be considered a family?"
......
When Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin walked to the door, they found that the two aunts from yesterday and their respective families were quarreling, and Old Lady Chen and a group of people working were trying to persuade one or the other.
But the two families were so immersed in their quarrel that one could not hear what they were saying at all. Seeing that it was useless, Old Mrs. Chen sat back on the stool and let them quarrel.
Seeing the two people come in, Old Mrs. Chen breathed a sigh of relief and was about to come up to tell them what had happened.
But the two leaders also saw them. They stopped arguing immediately, rushed up and pushed the old lady aside. Then one of them pulled Zheng Yuan and the other pulled Duan Minmin and started to complain.
"Big Tree Lady, let me tell you..."
"Auntie, let me tell you..."
Old Mrs. Chen, who was pushed aside, almost laughed out of anger when she saw the two people being pulled aside. These two aunts had just told her to stop making noise but one of them didn't listen, but now they were in tacit understanding when complaining, and they even knew to complain separately.
After listening to the two people's endless complaints for a while, Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin roughly understood what was going on.
It was this sister Li Qiong who accidentally discovered a large patch of ownerless roses on her way into the mountains to collect herbs a few days ago. The flowers were in full bloom at the time, and Sister Li Qiong found them very rare. When she came back to do her work, she took them out and discussed them with her nephew's wife, Gong Qiaoyin, as if they were a rare thing.
After all, it is rare for a car to bloom so well in the wild without anyone taking care of it.
But at that time, Zheng Yuan and the others did not say that they wanted to collect roses, so Gong Qiaoyin did not take it to heart. She just thought it was something strange and did not care what Sister Li Qiong was talking about.
But who would have thought that yesterday the two of them suddenly said they wanted to buy rose petals, at such a high price of ten cents per pound, and then she remembered this matter.
But now that it can be sold for money, no one is stupid enough to tell her.
So even though she followed her second aunt the whole day yesterday, she didn't say a word and just said that she forgot or that it didn't happen. The whole family was picking mint leaves peacefully.
Gong Qiaoyin's family watched over them for a whole day, but seeing that there was indeed no movement, they thought that they had really forgotten about them, so they did not continue to watch over them at night.
Who knew this family could be so patient? After they returned, they lit torches and went to the mountains in the middle of the night. The family worked all night without sleeping and brought back all the roses.
Today, when the family was carrying roses over here, they were seen by Gong Qiaoyin who was trying to pick some mint leaves. She felt very uncomfortable.
In order to keep an eye on the whereabouts of the roses, her family didn't dare to relax at all yesterday, so they didn't pick many mint leaves. But her second aunt's family not only picked the mint leaves peacefully, but also brought so many roses in the middle of the night. How could she be at peace with this?
So she immediately went home and asked her family to come to the workshop, and she kept demanding an explanation from her second aunt's family.
Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin were speechless after hearing this. Isn't it reasonable for Gong Qiaoyin's family to make money from the roses they found?
Why does she think that others owe her something and insist that others tell her how they make money?
If it weren't for their greed, the whole family would have gone out yesterday to concentrate on picking mint leaves, which would have been a considerable income.
You know, roses are full of thorns, and they are much harder to get than mint leaves. She only saw that rose petals were two cents more expensive than mint, but she didn't want to think about why they were two cents more expensive.
Focusing only on the extra two cents, she ended up earning a lot less.
I don't know what's wrong with this person's brain, and he still has the nerve to blame others.
However, it is not easy for the two of them to say these things directly, so they should let them handle their internal relationship. If you, the collector, interfere, it will be easy to make yourself unpopular.
So Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin could only say a few words of persuasion and then tell them that they still had to collect the mint leaves.
If Gong Qiaoyin's family was smarter, they should have gone to find mint leaves quickly instead of continuing to argue with his second aunt's family about not telling her about the roses.
But it was obvious that this family had not come to this point and were still holding on to her second aunt's family.
Even after saying all this, he still doesn't get it. Zheng Yuan and Duan Minmin are helpless. It's no wonder that some people never have any great luck in their lives and don't even have this kind of vision.
The two of them no longer cared about their lawsuit, asked Old Lady Chen to weigh the roses for them, and then sent the guests away.
But after receiving the money, Gong Qiaoyin's family became even more jealous.
Aunt Li Qiong's family brought 105 kilograms of roses and took away more than one or two taels of silver at once. Gong Qiaoyin was so jealous that she was almost crazy and kept saying that her second aunt's family had ulterior motives.
On the other hand, Aunt Li Qiong knew that they were being unreasonable, so she ignored them, took the money and left. Instead of arguing with them, she might as well go find some mint quickly.
