Upon returning, Iris returned to her house to rest, the old house had many rooms, it became more spacious after José's family left, Carmen lived in the one that was better located.After a while, Pablo entered her room to discuss strategies with her. Paul said: “The grocery store at home has been losing money for a long time. Now he still owes thirty silver coins for the purchase. Originally today I went to cost Joseph a deposit, but this was now impossible. If you can't solve it yourself, I'll scratch Iris's face to make amends with Selena…""You dare…"After Carmen finished speaking, she wiped away her tears: "Iris is only 14 years old. What does she know? She is still a child. She is still your sister. How could you do this? If you hadn't been so ruthless at the beginning, how could José become so indifferent? We don't even need to cut off the relationship anymore…"Seeing Pablo showing signs of anger, Carmen trembled and immediately changed her words: "Don't you think it's a little
Selena walked around the house for a while after eating. At noon, she ate two pieces of cake and a few pieces of meat, which were not much. What made her uncomfortable was that she drank two bowls of milk. Her parents don't like drinking it either, they only drink more than half a bowl at a time and the rest is hers.Seeing how Selena drank a big bowl every time, they thought she liked to drink this, but in fact, she almost vomited after drinking it, and adding sesame powder only slightly alleviated the taste, the aftertaste is really unpleasant.But there is no way, to be stronger you have to pay this price. Leaning in front of the window and looking at the scenery outside, she felt a little melancholy, wondering how long she would have to drink this milk before she could get stronger.Selena has been “recovering” at home for most of the month. Many women in the town like to gossip, openly or covertly, and ask indirectly about Selena's face. Because she fell to the ground with blood
While the people of the village are idle, Joseph's family is very busy. Maria and Selena make blush soap every day, although they are not busy from morning to night, there is no free time completely.Since the New Year is approaching, there are many people buying New Year's products, and the items in Pedro's store are also very popular. Essential oils and blushes have been reserved, so seven boxes of rouge and five jars of essential oils will be made this month, which will be enough to keep Maria and Selena busy.In the end, Selena did not sell the base made with jasmine seeds to Pedro, after all, there were few jasmine seeds, and she wanted to keep two boxes for herself and her mother.So in her spare time she used rice to make a common fragrant foundation and mixed some jasmine powder soaked with magic water into it, although it was not as good as jasmine seeds. It still smells fragrant. It is better than the common ones, and the price is more or less the same as other foundations on
In the following days, María even went to Lucía's house to chat less frequently, she was busy at home spinning like a top all day. Some people in the village felt jealous when they saw him. They saw Joseph carrying a heavy load to sell goods every day, and he even ran back and forth several times a day. Suddenly, various families also thought of selling goods.So, numerous women from the village who had plans came to Selena's house to chat and find out what José was selling on weekdays, and then asked their men to buy some products to sell.Because Maria and Selena had been making blush and foundation in the cabin behind the greenhouse, no one paid attention to it, even if they smelled the fragrance, they thought it was the smell of a blush and foundation that José sells, and didn't take it seriously. Leo and Lucía knew a little, but they were not loose-lipped, so the matter did not spread.Of course, Maria would not deliberately talk nonsense, and she would tell the things Joseph was
Joseph took a sip of water and said, “The judge finally acted fairly this time. He scolded Pablo as soon as he entered the door. Finally, Carmen's filial piety payment was set at 3 silver coins, but Pablo gave him 5 silver coins and the amount cannot be changed once stipulated…”Maria carefully read both sides of the deed and was worried when she heard it: “Doesn't Paul object? Can he agree?”“Of course he didn't agree.”Jose said: “But it's useless, he doesn't agree. The judge said that he inherited all the family assets when the family separated, and it is natural to support Carmen, so he should give more pension.”The judge said that if Pablo did not agree, he would make the final decision to redistribute the family property, giving him and me half of the property. What do you think Pablo can do? So after a big fuss, the matter is resolved and will not change in the future. If they want to default, we will take this paper to sue them, and they will have to go to jail…”After Joseph
Then I went to visit family and friends in each house in the town. There were quite a few New Year's greetings, José had completely broken off his relationship with Carmen, naturally he would not visit them this year, they just needed to give Carmen the monthly pension.When José went to give money, Lola saw that he did not bring any gifts, and she began to scold José for not being filial. José turned around and left without even entering the door. Now that he no longer takes them seriously, he feels much better.Leo's family came over in the afternoon and Maria brought out the snacks she had prepared in advance for Antonio and Sara to eat, mainly some preserved fruits, dried meat, and some homemade nuts.Antonio was completely attracted to Selena when he saw her. He felt that Selena would become very different after not seeing her for a few days. There is a soft glow on her face and her lips look moist. Wearing a pink wool cape-style coat, she looked very delicate and charming, making
Regarding Pedro's approach, although Selena understands the nature of entrepreneurs to seek profits, if this type of strategy is used with her own family, the feeling of having been calculated is truly infuriating.In just two months, her products made Pedro a lot of money, but once he tasted the benefits, he was reluctant to let them go. There are countless customers who have used the blush and foundation made from Selena and ordered them several times, but now they have reached the point where they are no longer available for pre-order, which shows that, in Pedro's eyes, the Selena's products are his trump card.He was forced to think about solutions for the future. The current financial situation of Joseph's family is good, but if Joseph becomes rich in the future, he may change his mind and no longer entrust the sale in his name, then his store will suffer a great loss. Therefore, without obtaining the formula of the product, he could only think of other ways, and then thought of p
So at night, José secretly took Selena up the mountain with a hoe. He spent a lot of time digging at the spot Selena pointed out. The winter was dry and cold everywhere. After digging for a long time, I finally found a cloth corner.The cloth was as frozen as iron and difficult to open, and they had a hard time opening it, revealing the glistening gold inside. After Selena saw it, she immediately put the gold into the prepared cloth bag. The father and daughter finally breathed a sigh of relief and walked down the mountain together.Two days later, the people from the notary's office returned to the town, José took the money to the village chief and secretly gave him two silver coins before going to the notary's office. Everything turned out well because José is local and, according to local laws, José has the right of first refusal. Even if foreigners are willing to pay more, they cannot do so.In addition to the help of the village chief to complete the paperwork at the notary's offi
