Go to the Republic of China to engage in industry

In the afternoon of the second day, some people came to pick up their clothes. Shen Qingya returned them the washed clothes, and also collected a lot of clothes that needed to be cleaned. Those clothes were basically dirty and smelly, and it was difficult to clean them.This is also something that can’t be helped. If it’s easy to clean, these people can wash it at home, so why spend the money to find someone to clean it.

Shen Qingya was very happy to receive these clothes, and ran back happily, "Chengrun, I earned two more copper coins, and I will keep them for you."

Shen Chengrun is not polite, he really needs capital to do business now, and he must start the business as soon as possible, otherwise, even if he doesn't let Shen Qingya not accept the clothes, Shen Qingya won't listen to him.Doing laundry at this time is really a pain.

Shen Chengrun said, "I'll fetch water for you."

Shen Qingya hurriedly said: "It's good that you are sick, don't go, I can go by myself."

"It's okay, it's just that you need to move more when you're recovering from a serious illness, otherwise you'll have no energy. Besides, I drank willow leaf water in the morning and I feel much better."

Shen Qingya thought for a while, and felt that it would be fine for Shen Chengrun to exercise properly, so she agreed.

When Shen Chengrun went out carrying the bucket, he heard Shen Qingya humming happily. He smiled, Shen Qingya's happiness is so simple, as long as there is work to do and money to make.He must increase Shen Qingya's happiness level, so that he will not be easily deceived by the little favors easily given by boys.

"Don't worry, this matter is on me, she has let go."

As soon as Shen Chengrun walked out the door, he saw Aunt Hua standing at the door talking with a young man in a long gown.Although the boy's clothes were not luxurious, at least it could be seen that it was a new long coat, and he was wearing a pair of shiny new leather shoes.His clothes were out of place with this dilapidated and dirty slum, and he was obviously not a resident living nearby.

Shen Chengrun felt that the young man looked familiar, so he couldn't help but look at him more.

Aunt Hua and the boy hurriedly separated, the boy ran away in a hurry, and before leaving, she glanced at Shen Chengrun in disgust, Shen Chengrun was puzzled, and didn't remember who the boy was.

The place to draw water is at the entrance of the alley, and there is a well. All the residents in the vicinity draw water here, only a few do not draw water here. They are all rich households in the alley and have wells in their homes.

In the early days of the Republic of China, no tap water was connected to the whole province in Wuxu Province, and only a small number of wealthy areas had tap water.

Shen Chengrun found that the well was empty, and there was nothing there. To get the water out, he needed a bucket. His bucket was lost, and he couldn't get it back when he went back.Shen Chengrun knocked on the door of the neighbor next door, and a black and thin woman came out. She looked at Shen Chengrun with vigilant eyes and asked guardingly: "Who are you?"

Shen Chengrun replied in a warm voice, "Hello, auntie, I am a resident in the alley ahead. I forgot to bring a bucket when I came out to fetch water. I want to borrow a bucket from you."

The woman did not relax her guard and asked again: "Which family do you belong to? Why haven't I seen you?"

"I am the tenant of the Chen family in front, and my family name is Shen."

The black and thin woman gave Shen Chengrun a hard look, and finally recognized him, "Are you the boss of the Shen family, the one who studies?"

"Yes, auntie, my name is Shen Chengrun."

"I know you." The thin black woman relaxed, turned around and went back to get him a bucket and a hemp rope by the way.

Shen Chengrun took one end of the hemp rope and tied it to the bucket, and put it into the well along the rope, and a bucket of water came up.

Shen Chengrun turned around and returned the hemp rope to the black and thin woman, saying, "Thank you."

The thin black woman said: "You're welcome, this trivial matter of neighbors is not to be taken seriously. But it's not that my aunt is talking too much, my aunt always wants to say that it is important for you as a young man to study, but you should also help the family to share it properly. Just a few days ago , I saw your younger brother come to fetch water, and he accidentally pumped too much, and almost fell into the well. Your sister, after all, is a woman with little strength, and every time she fetches water, she fetches half a bucket of water."

Shen Chengrun's face changed slightly, thinking that if Shen Chengran really accidentally fell into the well and happened to catch up with no one nearby, would he drown silently.Even if he was rescued in time, a dip in the bone-chilling well water would probably cause a high fever, which can be fatal. Didn't the original owner die because of the high fever?

Shen Chengrun's expression changed several times, and the more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and finally bowed to the black and thin woman, "Thank you for letting me know."

The black and thin woman was taken aback, "It's okay, just say it casually, don't blame me for being nosy."

"You're doing this for our own good, so how can I blame you for meddling in your own business?"

The black and thin woman looked at Shen Chengrun up and down. The young man was thin and had a clear face. Although he was still recovering from a serious illness, it was difficult to hide the gentle and jade-like temperament on his body.

The black and thin woman felt that Shen Chengrun had changed, but she couldn't tell what had changed, she was still the same person, with that face.

She said: "Everyone has said that you are fake and noble, but in fact you only know how to suck the blood of your younger siblings. When I talked to you today, I found out that you are not such a person. Sure enough, the rumors are not credible."

Shen Chengrun just smiled lightly and did not argue.The original owner seldom greeted the neighbors around, even if they met on the road, he would not speak. It was not that the original owner was arrogant and looked down on these poor people.In fact, the original owner had excessive low self-esteem, his family background fell overnight and he could only rely on his younger siblings for support. These facts made the original owner unable to hold his head up in front of his neighbors, so he could only cover up his inferiority complex with aloofness.

Shen Chengrun was weak, and he staggered back to the yard with the wooden basin in his arms, only to smell a strong smell of pork in the yard.

Shen Chengrun involuntarily took a deep sniff, it was so fragrant, his throat rolled, and he swallowed a mouthful of saliva.It feels so good to be a human being. With five senses, you can see the world with your eyes and taste delicious food with your tongue.

However, Shen Chengrun's good mood didn't last long, and was destroyed by Aunt Hua.

"Oh, smell it, if you are willing to obey the young master of the Zhu family, this meaty smell is nothing, you can still wear thick cotton, and live the life of being a lady of the Shen family in the past, served by servants.

Don't blame me for speaking harshly, in fact, with your current status, you are already climbing high branches and smoking from your ancestral grave to be able to be a small child. "

Shen Chengran rushed out like a cannonball when he heard this, "Shut up, if you dare to say such nonsense again, I will die with you."

Aunt Hua couldn't help shivering when she met Shen Chengran's wolf cub-like eyes.Today, she was the only one at home, and the man and son had gone out to work. She glanced at Shen Chengrun, who walked into the yard with the same unfriendly expression, and poohed, and decided that the hero would not suffer the immediate loss, and turned back to the house.

"Go back to the house and wash, it's cold outside." Shen Chengrun said to Shen Qingya.

Shen Qingya didn't want to listen to Aunt Hua outside, so she followed into the house.The neighbors who were watching the show in the yard all dispersed, seeing that there was no fight, they secretly slandered.

Shen Chengran sat on the small stool in a rage, his big eyes bulging like a toad, Shen Chengrun walked up to him, knelt down to touch Shen Chengran's furry head, but Shen Chengran turned his head away.

Every time the elder brother was useless, I knew to let him be patient and never dared to help them out. Shen Zhenren really had enough of this kind of grievance.

Shen Chengrun was not angry, but whispered: "Of course, don't be angry. Tonight, I will teach you what it means for a gentleman to take revenge."

Shen Chengran's eyes lit up instantly, "Really?"

"Really, to lie to you, I am the big yellow dog outside."

Shen Chengran just laughed, and moved his head to Shen Chengrun's hand, allowing him to touch his head.

Shen Chengrun rubbed Shen Chengran's head amusedly, no matter how sensible he was, he was still a child after all.

Sure enough, Shen got the promise, and he was happy all day long.

Just as Shen Qingya was about to squat down to wash clothes, Shen Chengrun stopped her.

"Use hot water."

"Fei Chai, that's all money." Shen Qingya said.

"Then don't wash it." Shen Chengrun insisted, and raised the firewood by himself.

Shen Qingya felt sorry for the firewood, and murmured, "You can't even earn firewood for washing this amount of clothes."

"Then don't wash it."

Shen Qingya remained silent again, the family would not have a source of income if she didn't do laundry.

"By the way, Chengrun, you didn't bring a bucket out, how did you fetch water?"

"Borrowed from others, the family by the well."

"Is his mistress the dark and thin one?"

"Yes." Shen Chengrun chatted with Shen Qingya while boiling water.

Shen Qingya smiled, "That's Aunt Niu, she is very kind, and she always helped me when I went to fetch water."

"In this case, I will thank her when I find a chance in the future. Also, sister, I will fetch water in the future, and you and my brother don't go." Shen Chengrun told Shen that Aunt Niu told him that Shen Chengran almost fell into the well. Qingya, Shen Qingya had a look of fear.

"In the future, I will never let my little brother go to the well again, it's too scary."

In the evening, Shen Chengrun bought some cornmeal and came back. When Shen Qingya saw it, she scolded: "Chengrun, even if the family has some money, we can't eat like this. We can only go in and out, and one day we will sit and eat. If you know that you are so lavish, then I won't give you two copper coins."

Shen Chengrun comforted softly, "Sister, don't worry, I've already thought of a way to make money, so let's make this cornmeal."

Shen Qingya obviously didn't believe that Shen Chengrun, a student, could have any way to make money, besides, money was so easy to make, those adults with hands and feet couldn't make it, the people in their yard were examples.

"Forget it, since you bought them all back, the rice shop can't refund them, so I'll keep them for you to eat later."

"Sister, let's eat together, or I won't eat."

Shen Qingya refused, so she only made cornmeal for Shen Chengrun, bran porridge that their siblings ate.Shen Chengrun was also stubborn, he really didn't eat a mouthful of cornmeal, and followed Shen Qingya and Shen Chengran to drink chaff.

The bran is really throaty, drinking it is like eating a knife, cutting from the throat to the esophagus to the stomach, the burning pain.

Shen Chengrun used to be envious of human beings, but this is the first time he feels sympathy. It turns out that the life of the poor is so difficult.If he eats this kind of food every day, he is really not as good as an AI.

Shen Qingya couldn't see Shen Chengrun's painful expression, couldn't hold back her younger brother, and finally shared the bowl of porridge.

That night, when the whole small courtyard was asleep, Shen Chengrun opened his eyes and got up quietly.

"Of course, wake up."

Shen Chengran rubbed his eyes and looked at Shen Chengrun in a daze, "What's wrong, brother?"

"A gentleman takes revenge in a proper way."

Shen Chengran became energetic all at once, turned over from the bed, his eyes were shining in the dark night, "Brother, let's go quickly."
