Lucky husband

Mrs. Li gasped when she heard what Jiang Zhiyun had said about her situation, and thought to myself, what a good boy, is such a small basket worth six taels of silver?

After being surprised, Mrs. Li murmured a little, thinking of the situation before the separation. At that time, the three daughters-in-law's embroidery for a year was worth about six taels of silver. Now they can earn so much in just over two months?

But after she thought about it, it wasn't the third family who was capable after the separation. In the past, Bai Xiuhe of the old family could only earn money selling eggs and pork throughout the year, but now she started a business and earned more money than Jiang Zhiyun. , it seems that the separation was really the right one.

Before the separation, there were a lot of people in the family, and there was a shit stirrer who often jumped out to make a fuss. It was not easy to do things with peace of mind.

So Mrs. Li thought about it after muttering for a moment. Now that the left and right families have been separated, the son and daughter-in-law are filial. She and the old man are not short of food, clothes, and money.

These thoughts flashed through Old Madam Li's mind, and her expression quickly changed several times. Jiang Zhiyun kept observing, and when she saw the difference in her mother-in-law's expression, she quickly explained.

It is said that her embroidery work is not only about embroidering things, but mainly about spending time thinking about patterns, which is something that the clothing store has asked her to do in the past two years.

What's more, the money I got was so much, but it didn't count the money for buying embroidery thread, and I didn't make a mistake. If the embroidery material is damaged, or other people's samples are damaged, they will be compensated. One piece is worth one dollar. At least [-] wen will be compensated for the material of a hundred wen.

It's just that Jiang Zhiyun is careful and dexterous, she rarely damages the fabric, but she didn't mention this.

Mrs. Li didn't care at all, but she interrupted Jiang Zhiyun before she finished explaining: "Your family, you are living a prosperous life, we parents will only be happy, my old lady is not that kind of stingy People who are stingy and only know to stare at their sons and daughters-in-law all day long, I have already said that I live my life by myself..."

Taking advantage of this incident, Mrs. Li talked to Jiang Zhiyun, making Jiang Zhiyun believe that she really didn't mind the mess, otherwise she wouldn't have offered to separate the family, if she really wanted to Cleaning up the money Xinghua, she can't do it as a mother-in-law.

The two walked slowly, chatting as they walked, as if they had arrived at the county seat in a short while.

It was the time when the rice noodle stall was taking a break in the morning. Jiang Zhiyun had good eyesight and saw that there were only two people sitting at the stall, one was Bai Xiuhe and the other was Li Caoye. There was no Li Chengzhi. He must have been dragged by people from the Fu family to have a look. shop.

Bai Xiuhe saw Old Madam Li and Jiang Zhiyun from a distance, and quickly stood up to say hello, "Mother, third sibling."

Li Caoye also called for someone from the side, and gave them a place to rest, and went to the side to scoop up hot soup, which would warm her whole body in winter.

To be honest, it was really cold when I first went out, but it would be warmer if I walked a few more steps. Mrs. Li saw Li Caoye's movements and hurriedly called her: "Caoye, just bring us a bowl of warm water, and the soup stays warm. It’s sold at noon, there’s no need to give us a drink.”

Jiang Zhiyun also thought the same way. The family boiled this soup every day, and the family had already drank it. There was no need to drink the soup they had worked so hard to bring to the county with a cart.

"Mother, it's okay. There is always leftover soup at the stall every day. We either eat soup with rice or soup with pancakes at noon. The three of us have rounded up quite a bit this winter." Bai Xiuhe also stood up and walked over, with Li Caoye Together they brought a bowl of soup over.

But she refused, drank hot soup at the rice noodle stall, and said a few more words before Mrs. Li took Jiang Zhiyun and left. First, she went to the clothing store to hand over the things they brought in exchange for money.

The money she got during this trip was about the same as what Jiang Zhiyun estimated. The things she brought over were exchanged for six taels of silver and two hundred cash, because the Chinese New Year was coming soon, and Jiang Zhiyun planned not to accept work in the clothing store for the time being. Besides, the tailor shop returned her deposit of two taels of silver.

In addition, the two little sisters, Li Mingchun and Li Mingxia, also sold the purses they made over the past two months, and when they got them, they were worth a tael or more. Excluding the cost of embroidery threads and fabrics, they earned [-] cash. It is close to [-] Wen, mainly because the embroidery thread costs money, and the purses and handkerchiefs are made of leftover materials, which are very cheap.

After finishing the errands that were to be done along the way, Mrs. Li finally went to the county government office with Jiang Zhiyun to talk to Li Chengshi about the business.

Mrs. Li and Jiang Zhiyun seldom came to look for Li Chengshi. The guards guarding the door didn't know them. After they showed their identities, they suddenly realized that they went into the house and told Li Chengshi to come out.

"Mother, Yunniang, why are you here?" Li Chengshi looked at the person at the door and asked in surprise.

Generally speaking, if something happened at home, the father or elder brother would come to find him. It was the first time that the mother and daughter-in-law came together.

"It's nothing. Your wife and I have something to do when we come to the county. We'll take a look at you before we go back." Mrs. Li looked very natural and pulled Li Chengshi aside to talk.

When they reached a corner where no one else could hear their conversation, Old Madam Li asked Jiang Zhiyun to talk about brother Jin's dream. She was afraid that she would get angry and forget what to say.

Jiang Zhiyun obediently recounted brother Jin's dream, emphasizing that her elder brother would definitely take him to see the shop together this evening, and asked him to think of a way to persuade her elder brother not to buy the shop.

Li Chengshi thought for a while: "This is easy to handle, let's just say the price is too cheap. I think there is something wrong with this shop, so let's check it out."

In other words, the location of the shop is not very good, they can wait, there is no need to be in such a hurry to confirm the shop.

In short, it is easy to find some reasons to procrastinate, anyway, as long as these two days have passed.

Seeing that Li Chengshi had a plan in mind, Jiang Zhiyun nodded and said nothing more, anyway, Brother Jin's dream reminded them that nothing would happen if they stopped buying that shop.

After talking about this, Mrs. Li looked at Li Chengshi and hesitated to speak. Seeing this, Jiang Zhiyun teased her husband and motioned him to ask.

Li Chengshi asked, "Mother, do you have anything else to ask me?"

After struggling for a while, Old Madam Li still spoke up: "Third brother, I was thinking that if the house deed is obtained, will it affect the ownership of the shop if others come to us to make trouble?"

Mrs. Li thought that the house deed could prove who owned the house, and if those people came to make trouble, they should not have to pay for it, or buy this shop, which is more than ten taels cheaper, and the saved part can be reclaimed. I bought one mu of paddy field and one mu of dry land.

Li Chengzhi probably guessed what his mother was thinking. Theoretically speaking, they can be sure that they are the owners of the house if they have the house deed in their hands. Those people came to the current house owner with the deposit receipt document written by the previous boss Liang, right? It was used, because it was someone from Liang who took the deposit and ran away, not them.

However, the problem is that the person surnamed Liang has run away, and those who have been cheated out of their money definitely want to go to the shop to make a fuss.

Troubles are difficult to define. If the disturbance is too big, the government can intervene. If it is not too big, it is just a few people talking at the door of the shop every day. The government is not easy to manage such trivial matters. To mediate, it must be for them to negotiate a solution in private.

They bought this shop with the intention of doing food business. If a group of people wanted to speak at the door, their reputation would definitely be affected. If there were no customers coming in to eat, there would be no income, so the meaning of buying a shop would be meaningless.

Li Chengshi explained something, and made Mrs. Li dispel the little idea of ​​buying this shop.

After his mother and daughter-in-law had left, Li Chengshi walked into the county government slowly, thinking about the whole story of this matter, and considering whether he should pay attention to this matter, so that the common people would not be cheated of their hard-earned money by the surname Liang.

A total of 130 taels of silver is not a small amount. If you change it to another company, you will definitely not be able to figure it out. The question is what reason does he come up with to stop it?

When discussing with the elder brother, what can I say? I feel that something is wrong, the location of the shop is not good enough, etc. If I want to make others not buy the shop, I am afraid that I can only tell what the surname Liang did.

To put it bluntly, it's not very responsible, these people must be deceived because they thought this shop was cheap, so they hurriedly paid the deposit before they figured it out. It was still ten taels of silver. will suffer.

Li Chengshi guessed that the surname Liang would sell the shop to the two brothers because he saw that he was wearing the clothes of an officer and it was not easy to fool him. Without him, it would be the same to sell this shop to anyone, it just depends on who is lucky Therefore, the person with the same surname Liang can first go to the county government to change the house deed.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Chengshi decided not to tell the little trick about his surname Liang. He just found an excuse to stop him as much as possible on the day he ran away. them.

With a plan in mind, Li Chengshi settled down and continued to work, and soon received a message from Li Chengzhi, asking him to go to the rice noodle stall after work in the evening.

After noon, the rice noodles were sold out. Li Chengzhi hurriedly packed up the stall and went back with Bai Xiuhe and the others. When they got home, they had nothing else to do. , ordered a pot of hot tea at the tea shed next to the south gate of the county seat and waited for Li Chengzhi to come over.

In the evening, Li Chengshi went there without rushing to get off work. He went to the canteen of the county government to get two big steamed buns, two pancakes and two roasted taro before going out.

None of their brothers wasted money. Li Chengshi felt that his elder brother was probably hungry and waiting for him to go to the shop together. Anyway, he already knew that this shop was not available for purchase, so there was no need to let the elder brother wait. Stomach tossing for so long.

Li Chengzhi was really hungry at the moment, he had already spent money on tea and was not willing to spend money on food again, he thought about filling himself with water for a while after the work was done, and then eating when he got home later.

Unexpectedly, when the younger brother came over, he would bring dry food. The two brothers finished their dinner with two or three mouthfuls of hot tea, wiped their mouths and walked to Fujiaya together.

Along the way, Li Chengshi let Li Chengzhi say nothing and didn't express his opinion. After seeing the shop at Buzhuang, to be honest, he was satisfied. If he hadn't already known about the follow-up troubles, he would definitely think about buying it.

The problem is that he now knows that buying this shop is tantamount to trouble. Of course he will not agree. After looking around carefully, Li Chengshi pulled his eldest brother out.

Seeing the same behavior of the two brothers, the man from the Fu family shop was a little unsure. They both looked at the shop before talking about anything, so he stood at the door of the shop and looked in their direction nervously.

Boss Liang of the Cloth Village was also a little flustered at this time. He had a ghost in his heart. He was afraid that the poor man in the clothes of the county government official would see something, so he took a deep breath and went to find out about the situation.

You don't know much about it, but at least you can say a few words: "The one who came to see the shop in the morning is my elder brother. He is selling rice noodles in the stall area at the south gate. It is the famous Li family rice noodles. That poor man is the younger brother, and the two brothers plan to buy this shop together, I don't know what their attitude is, I'll ask later, Boss Liang, don't worry."

Li Chengshi was analyzing Li Chengzhi at this time, and listed three problems with this shop.

First, the price is too low, and if something goes wrong, there must be a demon. Boss Liang has two shops. If they are both cheap, he will lose more than thirty taels of silver. Is he really willing?

Second, the location is mediocre. Although this shop is located on Xishang Street, which is a very lively street, it is located in the middle, with big shops on the front, back, left, and right sides. This small shop is inconspicuous in the middle.

Third, the time was too short and he was a little anxious. Li Chengshi didn't bite him to death and said that the store could not be bought. He just said don't be so anxious and let him go back and inquire.

Li Chengzhi was very excited when he went out, and spent the whole afternoon thinking about what to do with the shop after buying it, but Li Chengshi poured a large basin of cold water on him to calm him down instantly.

I have to say, thinking about what Li Chengshi said is indeed true, after the two brothers discussed it, they decided not to make a decision today, but to answer the question tomorrow.
