Chapter 250 The world is big, but the world is small
Na Liwen took the tourist team to Penglai Island for fun.
Penglai is known as the "fairyland on earth".
It is surrounded by mountains and sea, with beautiful scenery. The most distinctive feature is the ethereal "mirage" spectacle, which attracts countless people every year to see the strange scenery.
The beautiful legend of "Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea" is known to everyone.
There are so many attractions to visit in Penglai.
After consulting the children, we first went to the Eight Immortals Crossing the Sea Scenic Area.
The world is big, but the world is small.
This sentence is very philosophical.
In the scenic spot where the Eight Immortals Cross the Sea, Na Liwen met someone he never expected to meet.
Li Xiaobao saw a woman selling fresh lotus pods at the entrance of the scenic spot, so he shouted that he wanted to eat lotus pods.
July and August are the seasons when lotus pods are at their most fresh and tender.
Penglai not only has many scenic spots, but also many lotus flowers. Naturally, there are also many lotus pods.
Na Liwen walked over with the children and let them choose.
"How much does a lotus pod cost?"
Walking up to him, Na Liwen asked.
The woman raised her head and grinned: "Lotus pods cost one yuan each, you can choose whatever you want."
Looking at the woman's dark smiling face, Li Wen was stunned.
"Sister-in-law?
Are you...Yang Peilan? "
she hesitated.
The woman looked at Li Wen with some doubts.
She took off her sunglasses and said, "I am Na Liwen."
"Oh, it's you!
I didn’t expect to meet you here...”
Yang Peilan exclaimed in surprise, and stepped forward to hold Li Wen's hand, as if she was eager to meet an old friend in a foreign country.
"I didn't expect to meet my sister-in-law here either..."
Why are you here? "
Na Liwen held her hand and asked in surprise.
"Ugh!"
Yang Peilan let out a long sigh, and the smile on his face disappeared.
“It’s hard to put into words.
A few years ago, wasn't your eldest brother investigated? The manager was also raped.
Your eldest brother can no longer stay in Yabu City and feels very embarrassed.
I had no choice but to move here with your eldest brother and Tiantian. This is my parents’ hometown. "
Then Li Wen asked: "Where are Tiantian's brothers?
Didn't move in with you? "
Yang Peilan's eyes dimmed and she whispered: "The boss died in a car accident two years ago. The boss's wife remarried and left her son to me."
Na Liwen: I also have to raise a grandson as a co-author, which is a big burden.
"The second brother is a strict wife and dislikes us, so he followed his wife to the mother-in-law's house.
The third daughter-in-law is also unwilling to live with us. The third daughter-in-law fights with her all day long and wants a divorce. Divorce is not okay, the son is just over one year old and cannot live without his mother.
Your eldest brother and I had no choice but to separate them out and have separate lives. "
Na Liwen: Her daughters-in-law were all married to Zhang Zixiong when he was in power, and they were all quite afraid of this father-in-law at that time.
Once the father-in-law lost power, no one took him seriously.
It's no wonder that the daughter-in-law doesn't want to see this father-in-law. There are too many gossips, and she spends a lot of money on women outside.
Zhang Zixiong is now out of power and depressed. In the end, the only person left by his side to share the joys and sorrows with him is the honest Yang Peilan.
"That······"
Na Liwen looked at the pair of bamboo baskets placed in front of her and hesitated to speak.
Yang Peilan looked at the two bamboo baskets holding lotus pods in front of her and said with a wry smile: "I can't help it. Your eldest brother has been used to being pampered after being an official for so many years. He can't lose face in anything he does.
Wanting to do business, he did several things and lost everything.
Tiantian, as you know, since that incident, although things are getting better now, I can't find any good job without a diploma. I just work as a waiter in a restaurant.
The little money she earns is not enough to support a family of three.
Your eldest brother worked hard when he was young, but his health has never been very good. Now, he has the problem of three highs.
The family doesn’t have much money left, so it’s not a big deal to just sit there and have nothing. What if someone gets a headache again?
So, I picked some lotus pods from my pond and sold them in this scenic spot to earn some living expenses..."
Na Liwen asked: "Selling lotus pods here should be very profitable, right?"
Yang Peilan's dark red face showed a satisfied smile: "It's not bad.
These two baskets of lotus pods can hold more than fifty lotus pods. If they are all sold, they can earn more than fifty yuan, which is more than what I earn when I go out to work. "
That's really good.
You know, Li Wen's current monthly salary is only close to one thousand yuan.
At Yang Peilan's age, she goes out to work, that is, washing dishes in restaurants, which can earn her up to five hundred yuan a month.
Then Li Wen asked: "How long will it take to sell these two baskets?"
Yang Peilan replied with a smile: "When there are many people like today, it can be sold out in half an hour. If there are few people, it can be almost sold out in the morning."
Na Liwen: "Then you can come to sell twice this day, once in the morning and once in the afternoon..."
Yang Peilan quickly waved her hand and said: "I can come here once a day. My home is too far away from here. It takes more than an hour to walk, and it takes three hours to go back and forth."
Na Liwen: "You're always walking here with lotus pods on your back?
Why not come by bike or car? "
“I don’t know how to ride a bicycle, so a round trip costs four yuan, which is enough to buy a pound of pork.
My health is not bad, so it won’t be difficult to pick something like this.
You forget, when I was young I could carry two buckets of cement at the construction site. "
Yang Peilan replied.
Na Liwen: "······"
People say that it is easy to go from frugality to luxury, but it is difficult to go from luxury to frugality.
Yang Peilan has been an official's wife for more than ten years. Her family even hired a nanny, so she didn't need to do the laundry or cooking herself.
Now, in order to save four yuan on the bus fare, I would rather measure it with my feet and go to the scenic spot to sell lotus pods.
There are not many people like her who can put down their posture.
Na Liwen and his party of twelve people chose twelve lotus pods in total.
Yang Peilan smiled and said to Na Liwen: "You can give me ten yuan."
Then Li Wen gave her ten yuan.
Tourists came around to buy lotus pods again. Yang Peilan didn't bother to talk to Na Liwen and hurried over to solicit business.
then.
Na Liwen silently followed the children running ahead and walked away.
She walked far away, then turned and looked back at Yang Peilan, who was still soliciting business.
This woman's life is really not that good. Although her husband was rich when she was young, he didn't like her at all. Even though he came back to him when he was old, he asked her to work hard to earn money to support him.
What do you want from such a man?
Make your own money and spend it yourself, isn’t it delicious?
--------------
The eldest sisters Nalisi and Liming caught up from behind.
She said to Na Liwen: "I just saw a rural woman selling lotus pods at the door. She looks like Zhang Zijian's sister-in-law."
Na Liwen told her: "It's his sister-in-law Yang Peilan..."
"what?
It's really her. How did she get to this point?
Most likely he was dumped by Zhang Zixiong..."
Na Lisi guessed.
"no.
They are still living.
It was Zhang Zixiong who was in despair. "
Na Liwen said.
Then, she told her eldest sister the cause and effect of the incident.
Na Lisi sighed: "Actually, apart from being a bit extravagant, Zhang Zixiong is still a decent person."
Na Liwen: Just the "flower" aspect is not advisable. In order to satisfy his personal desires, his claws will be stretched very long.
It should be that he is not too greedy, and there are people above him to protect him.
Otherwise, he should be squatting in the "number", how could he still be roaming around outside.
