What a cheating husband

Chen Qing came out of Liang Ji, found an open-air tea shed, sat down and counted slowly.

There are 100 pieces of silk oilcloth on the cabinet, 35 meters long and 1.8 meters wide. If you want to build a greenhouse, you need at least 5 pieces of oilcloth.The cost of 500 taels is only enough to enclose more than 200 square meters. If the cost of blue bricks is added, it will be as high as 550 taels of silver.

Such an investment is far greater than the cost of building a plastic greenhouse in modern times, but now that it is winter, if you want to make money quickly without leaving the Liang family, you can only make a fuss about your own three acres of dry land.Green vegetables are scarce in winter, so growing greenhouse vegetables has become the first choice and the only feasible way at present.

Chen Qing only had a few taels of silver in his hands, so there was a reason why he dared to imagine such a large investment.Although he helped Liang Ji survive the crisis and earned more than 2 taels of silver, it was based on Liang Ji's original property.In the past, helping Liang Ji train the embroidered lady, and imparting all the skills to her is the capital Chen Qing relies on now.

Embroidery workers can trade with the cloth workshop based on the stitches they know, that is, they can sign a death contract to sell their craftsmanship to the cloth workshop.Chen Qing's own acupuncture methods were all contributed free of charge. In the past, he was Liang Zijun's wife, so it was understandable to do so, but now that he is free from shackles, he no longer needs to care about affection, and he will ask for nothing less.

The difficulty was that Chen Qing didn't want to sign a death contract with Liang Ji and be bound to cloth shop for the rest of his life, so he had to negotiate with Liang Ji at a lower price.Shopkeeper Wan couldn't decide on this matter, so he had to discuss it with Liang Zijun, which was exactly what Chen Qing wanted. Right now, he didn't want to negotiate with Liang Zijun, so it was just right to ask Shopkeeper Wan to deal with it.Although it is still under the control of others, the price may be extremely low, but it doesn't matter, as long as you can draw a clear line, even if you suffer a little loss, it is better than being controlled by him for a lifetime.

Thinking about it, even if Liang Zijun was shameless, he wouldn't want to push down the price too much, otherwise, as a hired worker, Chen Qing would have reason to go to the yamen to beat drums and complain.

Embroidery workers don't get their due rewards for delivering their skills, and the county lord has the right to hold the employer accountable and coordinate unreasonable payments from it.

The reason why Chen Qing was so sure was that Liang Zijun would not let him go to court, otherwise Liang Ji's reputation would be damaged, and coupled with the embezzlement of money from embroidery workers, it would be difficult for good embroidery workers to come to work on their own initiative in the future.

After noon, shopkeeper Wan, who had gone to Liangjia Village to discuss, returned to the cloth shop, and sent someone to the old house to find Chen Qing to reply.As soon as he entered the private room on the second floor, Chen Qing's face turned dark, and when he saw the person he didn't want to see the most, there was a faint sour water in his stomach...

Shopkeeper Wan smiled apologetically before explaining seriously, "It's related to the operation of the cloth workshop. It's a big matter, so I have to ask the boss to come forward. Feel free to discuss with the boss if you have any requirements."

Liang Zijun looked at Chen Qing with some trepidation. He wanted to get up and take a step forward, but finally hesitantly took his seat under the disgusted eyes. After Master Wanda exited the box, he called out aggrievedly, "Ah Qing..."

Chen Qing frowned politely after seeing the ceremony, and just got up and said solemnly, "Since the boss came forward to discuss it, it would be great, you and I will also settle the previous wages together."

Liang Zijun rubbed his forehead, really had nowhere to do anything to Chen Qing at this moment, so he stretched out his hand and listened quietly.

"As far as I know, the cloth shop signed a death contract with a middle-class embroiderer for 200 taels, and a top-ranking embroiderer for 400 taels. The embroiderers who signed the death contract are not allowed to change to another family, and the needlework cannot be taught to others. I don't want to share with Liang. The dead contract was signed, so the price had to be negotiated separately.

Chen Qing only sells the stitches taught to you before, and the stitches he figured out in the future have nothing to do with Liang Ji, but please rest assured, these stitches will only be used by Chen Qing for himself and will not be disclosed to other cloth shops. Reasonable price. "Chen Qing's body was stretched straight, and he finished speaking at a steady pace, without giving Liang Zijun a single glance.

Liang Zijun frowned and sighed softly, "You and I really want to be so different?"

"The boss is joking. Chen Qing is the worker of Liang's parents. How can there be a difference between master and servant? Besides, brothers have to settle accounts clearly. Don't let the boss say something that Chen Qing can't understand." Chen Qing clenched her fists and tried her best Suppress the feeling of nausea in my heart.

Liang Zijun laughed at himself, and said, "Forget it, since we're talking about this, let's do whatever we want, lest you think I'm forcing you again"

Chen Qing quickly glanced at Liang Zijun with the end of his eyes, then turned his head and took a deep breath to avoid the slightly resentful gaze.

The subsequent negotiation went smoothly, Liang Zijun did not argue with Chen Qing on the price, but offered half of the price extravagantly.As for the wages for teaching embroiderers, it is paid according to the monthly schedule of the big shopkeeper.

"You have also worked in Liangji for several years, and you helped the cloth workshop to recover the losses. I will not deduct a single cent of your wages. If you pay more, you will be rewarded by my employer. You can take 400 taels..." Liang Zijun He took out the bank note from his pocket and put it on the table, and wrote a note with his own hands.

After Chen Qing's signature and painting were deposited, just as he was about to pick up the banknote, he was covered by a palm stretched out diagonally, staring at the thief's hand, Chen Qing threw it away angrily and stared at Liang Zijun.

"Cough cough..." Liang Zijun coughed embarrassingly, and then said quietly, "...This is not the end of the business, we have something private to talk to you..."

"I have nothing personal to discuss with you." Chen Qing yelled angrily, then squeezed her eyelids, said in a slow tone and gritted her teeth, "Who said there is no business? Now there is a big deal, does Mr. Liang want to do it?"

Liang Zijun was yelled at and his mouth was flattened. Who told him to be wronged, he hurriedly bowed his head and smiled apologetically, "Doing and doing, since it is a big business, how can there be any reason to push it out? Please sit down, please sit down"

Chen Qing took advantage of the situation and sat in a seat farthest from Liang Zijun, letting the newly appointed dog leg serve tea and water, but turned his face away and said in a super fast tone, "I want to buy 5 pieces of silk oilcloth, and the price may be more favorable." ?”

Liang Zijun blurted out in surprise, "Why did you buy so many oilcloths?"

Chen Qing felt suffocated in his chest, and he choked without thinking, "How much I buy is none of your business!"

After the two roared without thinking, both of them were stunned. The staring posture seemed to return to the moment when they first met. Liang Zijun couldn't help laughing, and said again and again, "It's none of my business... I don't want to think about our family. Except for the firewood house, it’s useless for you to buy so much. Besides, it’s all your own stuff. If you want to use it, you can just take it out and spend money on it..."

The more he spoke, the softer he was, seeing the faint veins on Chen Qing's forehead, Liang Zijun hurriedly stretched out his hand and patted his mouth, "It's just a joke, don't take it seriously...you are a customer, so you can buy as much as you want, silk oilcloth is not like this now." Too much, I'll let the guy oil it up and send it to you, they are all old acquaintances, just treat me as a compassionate employee of my boss, do you think 50 taels is suitable?"

The more Chen Qing listened to this nonsense, the more angry he became. The cost of the silk oilcloth alone was 50 taels, plus labor and paint, the cost reached 58 taels a piece.Liang Zijun easily lost money and sold him, if he had a bad intention, who would believe it? "If I ask you to be the shopkeeper, I'm afraid you will be a yellow stall! Do you dare to trade at a loss? ... Huh~ I'm too lazy to argue with you, sell me for 75 taels a horse"

Chen Qing rubbed his swollen and sore forehead dejectedly. He really didn't want to deal with the rascal Liang Zijun.

Liang Zijun begged for a beating with a smile on his face, "So I say you have to take care of it, otherwise..."

"Get out~" Chen Qing lifted his foot and kicked, this guy is as shameless as a hob.

Liang Zijun hurriedly dodged a kick and kicked, begging for mercy, "All right, all right, as much as you say, that...Ah Qing, I'm really wrong... Oops~ Don't get angry, let's talk about it if we have something to say Okay?...Hey? Can I kneel down and admit my mistake?...Daughter-in-law, Ah Qing...don't go~"

Liang Zijun knelt on the ground and stared at the door panel, before Youyou yelled, he slammed the floor hard in frustration.He knelt down and confessed his mistake, but it's a pity that people ignored him and left, so how should he make amends?

Shopkeeper Wan Da, who was hiding in the corner next door, heard that he had left, so he dared to come out to ask his boss what's going to happen next.

"Squeaky... Master..." Shopkeeper Wanda pushed open a gap, then closed it silently, stretched out his hand and gave himself a mouthful, "You didn't see anything..."

Liang Sanye petrified for three breaths, and then quietly asked, "Did you see it..."

Shopkeeper Wan Da blushed, and replied softly through the door, "Going back to the boss, I didn't see..."

Liang Zijun got up silently and brushed his hem, pretending to be nothing, and ordered, "Immediately oil 5 pieces of oilcloth, and send him the remaining silver taels."

"Okay~25 taels, right? I'll just ask my buddy to do it." Shopkeeper Wan Da said softly and quickly walked away.

Liang Zijun blushed, raised his sleeves and scolded on his face, "An old man, he has learned to listen to the corner of the wall..."

Chen Qing left the cloth shop in a hurry, returned to the old house and hurriedly repaired a book and sent it to Qingping Town.

This time when negotiating with Liang Zijun, Chen Qing not only did not suffer a loss, but also got 100 taels more than expected.Originally, if I wanted to build a greenhouse, I would have to have the audacity to borrow money from my aunt and the others, but now the difference is so small that it saves me such troublesome things.Although the oilcloth was settled, Qingzhuan was still short of 20 taels of money, so he had to ask someone to send a letter to his sister, borrowing some emergency first.

The reason why Liang Zijun gave the money was probably out of intention to please him, but even so, Chen Qing didn't want to accept this kind of favor. How can money be able to smooth out those things before?He's not that cheap!The big deal is to pay him back after earning money.

After delivering the letter, Chen Qing went to the grain store again, bought all the expected vegetables, bought an iron pot, a kettle and some dishes.Since there is a need to divide it, it should be done neatly. Part of the rough food at home comes from the fields, so he can eat it with peace of mind, but he needs to buy some other items.

After buying the salt, Chen Qing walked home with big and small packages on his back.I silently calculated in my heart what items I needed to prepare after separation. I had less than 300 cash left in my hand, and I needed to prepare another set of quilts and jackets, otherwise I would not be able to survive the cold winter months.

Putting things back into the woodshed to avoid people's eyes, Chen Qing looked at the small dwelling, and thought to himself that when the shed was built, he could just move out of the yard and save himself from facing that rotten guy Liang Zijun every day.

Light the fire and cook, and before Liang Zijun arrives home, Chen Qing hastily finishes eating and goes to the woodshed.The next day, I hurried out after breakfast again at dawn.

For three consecutive days, Liang Zijun couldn't find a chance to confess to Chen Qing, let alone pleading guilty.Calling people not to answer, knocking on the door and not opening it, and throwing things at the door to swear at people in a hurry, Liang Zijun's mouth is worn out, but he can only ask Chen Qing to promise that he will not confess to his family for the time being.

The reason why Chen Qing agreed to cover up for Liang Zijun was because he was really annoyed by him blocking the door every night, and secondly, it was really hard to talk to Liang's family. He had a falling out with Liang Zijun.

In addition, the Liang family just got a grandson who is happy, and he can't make troubles with bad things. Fortunately, everyone is busy with the baby and no one pays attention to the two of them, otherwise Chen Qing's clothes at this time should be fine. suspicious.

Chen Qing avoided Liang's family by going out early and returning late, but he couldn't avoid Wei Liang and Li San who were guarding the gate.

Li San and Wei Liang were only servants of the Liang family, so naturally they couldn't talk too much about the family affairs of the master, and Chen Qing begged repeatedly not to leak anything, so Li San had to keep his mouth shut and pretend he didn't know.It's just that every time Liang Zijun went out, he kept a cold face and didn't even say hello, but Wei Liang was a dutiful person, except that Liang Zijun deliberately slipped and slipped twice when leading the horse, but he didn't dare to show embarrassment.

Liang Zijun came to a realization, and he only scratched his nose and admitted that he was wronged by the little tricks of the world. Who would let his wife befriend these two people?But asking him to beg for mercy with the two servants, he couldn't keep his face off, he thought it was the two of them venting their anger for his wife, and silently endured it.
