Go to the Republic of China to engage in industry

Early the next morning, Shen Chengrun took Shen Chengran out to sell soap as usual. The two woke up in a daze, and no one noticed a man with a sly eyebrow and a mouse-eyed appearance in the alley behind him, quietly following behind Shen Chengrun and his brother.

At noon, the two brothers Shen Chengrun had already sold half of the soap. They were tired and hungry, so Shen Chengrun said, "Let's eat first, and sell them after eating."

Shen Chengran was also so hungry that his chest stuck to his back, and he kept talking all morning, his throat was smoking.

The two found a noodle stall by the way and sat down to eat. The stall owner asked with a smile, "What do the two little brothers eat, a bowl of plain noodles with two liters, and a bowl of meat noodles with four liters?"

It is said to be meat noodles, but it is actually a few thin slices of meat, but no matter how little meat there is, it is still meat. Shen Chengran licked his mouth greedily, "Brother, I want to eat meat noodles."

Shen Chengran didn't get an answer from his brother for a long time, turned his head to look, and found that his brother didn't know what he was looking at.

"Brother." Shen Chengran patted Shen Chengrun, and said strangely: "Brother, what are you looking at? What's wrong with you today, why do you keep looking back."

Shen Chengrun withdrew his gaze, "I always feel that there are two eyes staring at us in the dark, but every time I turn around, I don't see anyone."

Shen Chengran immediately became nervous and searched around vigilantly.

At the same time, he whispered: "Brother, could it be Aunt Hua? Shall we go home?"

You can't stop doing business, go home today, what about in the future?

"Two guests, what do you want to eat?" The stall owner interrupted the conversation between the two brothers.

Shen Chengrun found that the feeling of being spied on was gone at this time. It was his first time as a human being. He had heard of the sixth sense before, but it was still a first-time experience. I don't know if it is accurate.He felt this way when he came out of the house, but every time he couldn't find anyone, he wondered if it was the anxiety that came from being too nervous after meeting Aunt Hua yesterday.

No matter what, you have to eat first, Shen Chengrun said: "Two bowls of meat noodles."

The amount of this kind of noodle stall is average, enough for women, children and men with small appetites. People like him and Shen Chengran who are tired and hungry after running for a day can't get enough to eat, so they got up and bought four more pancakes. .Two sheets of cornmeal and two sheets of white flour.

Shen Chengran was full after eating a bowl of meat noodles and a white noodle pancake, and Shen Chengrun ate up the remaining three pancakes, and he also drank up a bowl of noodle soup.The bowls that the two brothers have eaten can be seen as a lesson.

Shen Chengran rubbed his full stomach, forgot what happened just now, and said, "Brother, you can really eat now. If you didn't make a lot of money yourself, even if you don't get sick, my sister and I can't afford you."

Shen Chengrun laughed. Although it was only a day, he could feel the slight changes in Shen Chengran. He had begun to learn to trust him, and got closer to him intentionally or unintentionally. The alienation that used to be mixed between brothers was gradually dissipating.

Shen Chengrun was very pleased.

The two brothers took another break before continuing to sell soap.The soap business was very good, and they sold out early, so the two brothers closed the stall and went home. On the way, they passed by Xu Tu's to buy suet and returned, and the feeling of being spied on reappeared.But it was only for a moment, the feeling was as fast as Shen Chengrun's panic caused by his own excessive nervousness.

"It's true that I feel panicked today. Let's go home first and not go to Aunt Niu's." Shen Chengrun still decided to be more cautious.

"Okay." Shen Cheng has no objection, he is now very convinced of his brother's ability to make money, so he listens to his brother's words very much.

As soon as the two brothers left, a sloppy man walked into the slaughterhouse. Baocheng asked sharply, "What did that kid buy just now?"

The butchers who sold meat were already acquainted with Brother Shen Chengrun, and they all knew each other, so they ran out and asked about the two brothers personally. Naturally, these butchers would not tell, "What do they buy for you?"

Baocheng is a well-known little hooligan in their area. The neighbors usually walk around him. Even if he finds fault on purpose, he dare not provoke him. Answer, do you still want to do business?"

The butcher suddenly showed a sinister smile, held up the butcher knife dripping blood in his hand, and said solemnly: "Boy, you are messing with grandpa!" All the butchers looked at Baocheng almost at the same time. the Lord.

Baocheng is a stern and soft-hearted master, he is more afraid than anyone else when he encounters a horizontal line, he runs out with trembling legs, but his hands are as soft as noodles, and he falls on the ground with a plop.Immediately all the butchers burst into laughter, and Baocheng scrambled and fled in embarrassment amidst the laughter of the butchers.

"Of course, the clothes are back." Brother Shen Chengrun came back, and Shen Qingya came over with the newly made clothes, "Try to see if it fits, if it doesn't fit, I can send it to the shop to have it changed as soon as possible, don't delay your tomorrow's business .”

Tomorrow is the day when Xu Tu's daughter gets married. Shen Chengrun saw that Shen Chengran didn't have a suitable dress, so he asked Shen Qingya to go to the shop to help Shen Chengran make one, and by the way, let her make one by herself.

Shen Chengran hasn't worn new clothes for a long time, he happily stretched out his hands to hold the clothes, and at the same time said to Shen Qingya: "Sister, you can also change into it for me and elder brother to see."

Shen Qingya's clothes fit her well, mainly because she was already sixteen and not too tall, so she did it just right.As for Shen Chengran's, it's a bit big, but it's normal. At this time, children's clothes will be bigger. Children grow up fast, and if they don't get bigger, they won't be able to wear them for half a year. Even the Shen family used to be like this.

Shen Chengran didn't care about it at all, rolled up his sleeves and happily circled around.

"It looks good." Seeing her younger brother happy, Shen Qingya was also happy.

Shen Chengran's eyes were shining, "Sister, you are also pretty."

Seeing the happy appearance of the siblings, Shen Chengrun felt a strange feeling in his heart.That should be the unique warmth of family affection. Paying for one's relatives is sometimes a kind of happiness.

The two brothers and sisters were smug for a while, and they both changed their clothes and hid them in a high place before eating.

After dinner, it was already too dark outside.This kind of sky is just right, even if someone follows them, they can't see clearly.Besides, they hadn't gone out for such a long time since they came back, and it was so late at the moment, even if someone followed him, they probably thought that they would not go out, and it was suitable for him to go to Aunt Niu's house.

Shen Chengrun carried the basket and led Shen Chengran to open the door gently, and walked to Aunt Niu's house.

After escaping from the alley, Baocheng went to Aunt Hua's house. At that time, Zhou Qiang and Aunt Hua's husband both came back from work, and the family was eating.

Baocheng was not polite, he sat down as soon as he sat down, he didn't care whether the food was enough, let alone the roughness of the food, he started to eat big mouthfuls.

The food at Aunt Hua’s house is about the same, not to mention the head count. With one more Baocheng, Zhou Qiang and his son are not full. After a long day of exhaustion, the food is not enough. Aunt Hua’s husband is inevitably angry and glared at Aunt Hua. .Aunt Hua hurriedly laughed along with her, washed the man's feet with water, cleaned the bowls and chopsticks before she came out and asked Baocheng, "Did you find out clearly, which foreign company did the two little bastards of the Shen family make the soap?" Today I saw Shen Qingya's little bastard even bought new clothes, at least two sets, I saw two kinds of fabrics, one for women and one for men. A poor family can still wear new clothes, it must be for sale The soap makes it."

The greedy look in Baocheng's eyes was like an erupting volcano, "I followed them for a whole day, but I didn't see any contact person."

Aunt Hua frowned, "Why don't you follow me for another day tomorrow?"

At this moment Zhou Qiang hurried back, "Mother, Shen Chengrun and Shen Chengran went out again."

Aunt Hua and Baocheng looked at each other, and they both saw joy in each other's eyes, "Fortunately, I let Qiangzi secretly observe the movements of those bastards in the Shen family, otherwise I would really be deceived by them. Baocheng, hurry up and follow. This time, we will definitely find their connector."

Looking at the dark sky outside, Baocheng grinned happily, "As expected of a scholar, he is smart. This kind of weather is most suitable for doing things that are not suitable for people to see."

Baocheng hurriedly followed Zhou Qiang's directions, and saw Shen Chengrun and Shen Chengran entering a neighbor's house with things.

He wisely didn't knock on the door to enter the house immediately, but found a low wall and climbed up.However, the rear window of Aunt Niu's house was blocked by someone, so he couldn't see clearly what was going on inside. The more this happened, the more Baocheng felt that there was a ghost inside.

Baocheng is a typical person who can't do business and is smart.

It soon occurred to him that the Shen family had developed so fast, they shouldn't just rely on the price difference of a few copper coins they earned from selling soap.If there is another person guaranteeing it, then it is absolutely impossible for the Shen family to take most of the money they earn and use it to honor others. How did the Shen family get rich so quickly?

If you say that this person is ignorant, he dares to think about anything. If you have a little knowledge, you will understand how difficult it is to make soap. The soda ash craft is in the hands of foreigners, which is like choking the throats of many businessmen, so many knowledgeable people. It is impossible to break through this technology. Shen Chengrun is just a child who has studied for a few days, so how could he know this difficult technology.

However, Baocheng is ignorant and doesn't understand these things. In his eyes, scholars are great, and they should know this technology. Those who don't know it are people who are not good at reading.

Baocheng's heart was beating like a drum, and he felt that the opportunity to make a fortune was just around the corner, so he couldn't help turning over and jumping into Aunt Niu's house.

As soon as he got close to the rear window, before he had time to make any other movements, there was a burst of dog barking. The barking sound was getting closer and closer, and it was in front of him in an instant.

Baocheng usually does things like sneaking around, let alone being kicked out by dogs. He has a lot of experience in escaping from such things, so he reacted quickly. When the two dogs of Aunt Niu's house were about to bite him, he climbed up to The wall fled in embarrassment.

Shen Chengrun's heart skipped a beat when he heard the movement. He hurried out of the kitchen and asked, "Aunt Niu, I heard a dog barking just now, but are there guests?"

Aunt Niu looked unhappy, "It should be because the smell of meat is wafting from the house every day during this time, I don't know which greedy ghost has been recruited here. It's a pity that the man escaped too fast, otherwise I would definitely break his leg if I caught him."

Aunt Niu murmured again: "This man is so fast, he must be a habitual offender. If he is targeted by such a person, the family must pay attention in the future."

Listening to these heartbeats, Shen Chengrun became more and more uneasy, and Jiahaoyou and Shen Chengran hurried home with their things.

At home, Shen Chengrun told Shen Qingya about the matter with a serious face.

"I always feel that the theft is not aimed at Aunt Niu's house, but at us. Yesterday when I went out to sell goods, I always felt that someone was watching. I suspected that I was suspicious. It seems that my feeling is correct. .”

Both Shen Qingya and Shen Chengran started to panic, Shen Qingya said anxiously: "Then what should I do?"

Shen Chengrun thought for a moment, "The enemy is in the dark and we are in the light. There will be nothing we can do for a while. So, from tomorrow onwards, Cheng Zhen and I will not go out to sell soap. Anyway, we are now cooperating with Li's grocery store, and the family is getting money again. Hungry No. We will move in when our house comes to an end at the end of the month, and when the time comes, we will invite a woman and two guards at home, and the man will not dare to do anything when he sees us on guard."

Whoever was watching behind their backs, at least they were safe these days in the compound.No matter who dares to commit crimes openly under so many noses, of course there are people who dare to commit crimes, they will never follow him secretly without making a move.

Shen Chengran anxiously said: "Brother, then we will stop doing this soap business, such a lucrative business!"

"Of course." Shen Chengrun said: "It's just that we have to wait until we move. Although bad guys don't dare to commit crimes in front of so many people, I don't feel at ease when my sister is at home, so I suggest that we all stay at home with my sister. Wait until After I moved, I went back to study. I had to get along with my classmates in order to understand their character, and I also found a good character who could protect us and cooperate with them.

After all, this soap business is too big, and doing this business with our family's power is like a child holding a golden brick to make trouble. "With Shen Chengrun's relationship network, the only way out is to find a classmate with a background to cooperate with at home.

When he first chose this business, he didn't want to do it alone, but he just wanted to give his family some relief, so he found a big tree to lean against.

Shen Qingya and Shen Chengran felt at ease when they saw that Shen Chengrun thought of everything in such an orderly manner.

The Shen family made the soap after dinner and went to bed, but Baocheng was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He told Aunt Hua's family his guess, of course he didn't say it was a guess, but he saw it with his own eyes.Aunt Hua's cloudy eyes immediately turned red.

Baocheng directly suggested: "Before we bought goods with him, he was unwilling to earn a little price difference, and now he is even less likely to agree to hand over his technology, so we can only do hard things if we are soft."

Aunt Hua was stupid and vicious, "Then what do you say, as long as I can get rich, I will listen to you."

"There are several types of tough methods. As far as the characters of the two bastards of the Shen family are concerned, if we used ordinary threats, they had no choice but to agree to it, and then turned around and sued us. Special means." Baocheng has been working outside for so many years, and he has seen a lot of insidious methods, so he knows how to make people suffer without daring to speak out, so he can only swallow the insidious methods.

The next day, although the soap was ready yesterday, the brothers of the Shen family didn't get up early to sell soap as usual, and Baocheng and Aunt Hua were so anxious that they wandered around the house.

Aunt Hua asked uneasily, "Those bastards from the Shen family won't find anything, right?"

"No." Baocheng replied firmly.

He thinks that he has been on the road for so many years, and he still has some skills, but he is just following a scholar who has no power to restrain him, and he can still be discovered.In addition to those books, those scholars also know a fart in their minds.If you fight alone, you have to teach him to beat him down.

"Wait and see."

About an hour later, the Shen brothers came out, especially Shen Chengran changed into new clothes, and the two went out beaming.

Seeing this, Aunt Hua and Baocheng wished they could rush up and pick him off with their own hands, "I'm waiting for half an hour, and if the Shen brothers don't come back, we'll do it." Baocheng's eyes were filled with vicious light, Aunt Hua didn't give in either.

Shen Chengrun and Shen Chengran had no choice but to go out. They had promised Xu Tu that they would come to write a gift account. This was a big deal for Xu Tu's family, so they could only keep the appointment, and the time to go out was short, no more than two hours. Nothing will happen, which is why Shen Chengrun agreed.

When the Shen brothers arrived, the guests hadn't arrived yet, so it was just in time.

"Congratulations." Shen Chengrun gave Xu Tu his gift.

Xu Tu didn't point out that Shen Chengrun could come up with any good things at first, he always thought that Shen Chengrun came to him to buy some meat just to do some food business.At this moment, seeing that the gift from Shen Chengrun turned out to be foreign soap, which was sold at five yuan a pack in foreign companies, even if Shen Chengrun only sent two yuan, it would still cost a few cents, so I was so happy from ear to ear.

This is a great gift.

At that time, Xu Tu asked people to serve melon seeds, peanuts and sugar tea, and even brought a plate of nuts for Shen Chengrun and Shen Chengran to eat casually. He also told the family to watch some.

In fact, the gift of soap was all money from the family. It was a time of nervousness, but the soap was made and could not be sold for a while. Shen Chengrun thought that this thing is expensive, and giving it as a gift is also a generous gift, so he brought it.

Shen Chengrun ate the nuts and sighed: "I don't know what happened to Fufu today, but he refused to come out with me. He usually clings to me so tightly that he can't stop coming. There are good things here, but they don't come out."

Shen Chengran didn't answer, he didn't feel anything about Fufu, it was just a simple cognition of his brother's pet, so he just sat aside and ate obediently, while Shen Chengrun helped another gentleman invited by Xu Tu to write the accounts together.

Seeing that the Shen brothers hadn't come back for half an hour, Aunt Hua and Bao Cheng knew whether they would come back in a while, so they knocked on the doors of other houses in the courtyard first. His reputation brings everyone together.

In fact, no one believed it at first, but Aunt Hua's house searched hard, not to mention the business that didn't make a fortune, even if it did, it wouldn't be so generous to tell everyone.It's just because of Aunt Hua's swearing, and she thought that if she went there, she would lose nothing, and if she didn't go, she would really lose money.

Aunt Hua gathered everyone in her house and told about the soap making by the Shen Family Brotherhood, "You can also see that the life of the Shen family is getting better day by day, how well-off it is now, and there is meat to eat every day. That's a family that can't afford to eat bran.

With such a good opportunity, everyone in the neighborhood should help each other. "

He still had self-knowledge, so he said: "We know how the children of the Shen family have lived these past few years. We didn't help them when they were so hard. Now that they have such a great fortune to make a fortune, how can they agree to it?" Give us free points?"

Aunt Hua showed a sinister smile, "We need to use some unconventional methods!"

A few women were terrified by Aunt Hua's grim smile, and when they sensed something was wrong, they wanted to back off, "What, I still have laundry at home, so I'll go back first."

"I have something to do at home, let's go first..."

However, Aunt Hua's smile became wider and wider, and the women realized that almost all the children in Aunt Hua's family were in the hands of the men in Aunt Hua's house. Those men tricked the children into giving them sugar water. In the past, this would have had a knife in its hand.This was a blatant threat, and the women turned pale all of a sudden, but at the same time they didn't dare to make any noise to leave.

Originally, Aunt Hua really didn't want to share this opportunity to make a fortune, but she couldn't do without it.They live in a big courtyard, and they have some coercive means against Shen Qingya, and everyone in the courtyard can hear it, and when someone's troublesome family goes out to call the police, everything will fall by the wayside.

So it's better to pull these people together, everyone participated in the forced incident, as long as they didn't want to go in, they would keep their mouths shut afterwards, and no one dared to go out to speak out.

This is also the reason why Aunt Hua chose this time and discussed with these people in the yard without prior consultation.Only now that the labor force of each family has gone out to work, and only the women are left in the family, they can be threatened. When the family members of those families come back, their affairs have been completed, and the women of all families have participated in the coercion. If all the women are sent in, they can only suffer from this dumb loss.

Aunt Hua didn't have these tricks, they were all the ideas of Baocheng, a gangster in the market.

Sure enough, no one dared to raise objections again. Aunt Hua looked at all this with satisfaction, and said meaningfully: "This is also a helpless act of mine. It is all for the common prosperity of everyone. Don't be unhappy, and there will be better days in the future." waiting for you."

Aunt Hua rushed to Shen's house with her men who hadn't started work, the big men brought by her nephew, and the women from various courtyards. Fufu, who was vigilant, reacted first, and rushed out and bit Aunt Hua's grabbing hand. Aunt Hua screamed and knocked Fufu off the wall.Fufu was thrown dizzy, and when he got up, he saw Aunt Hua, who was looking unhappy, picked up a broom to beat him, and ran away against the wall.

Aunt Hua scolded disdainfully: "Sure enough, it's trash. Scholars are useless. They only like those flashy things. You said that your family has a mouse, so you bought a lot of expensive nuts, but when disaster came, the mouse slipped away." Faster than anyone else, if you have a dog, maybe you can fight to the death to protect the master and fight with the old lady."

"Gu, don't talk nonsense, the business is important." Baocheng was impatient to listen to Aunt Hua's nonsense, and stepped forward to help Shen Qingya roughly, fearing that she would stop her yelling, and put a knife on her neck.

Shen Qingya was so frightened that her tears welled up, she didn't dare to move.

Aunt Hua's face was ferocious, and she said viciously: "Little bastard, you can answer whatever I ask you, don't call, or don't blame me for killing you."

Shen Qingya didn't know what was going on, she nodded in fright.

Aunt Hua asked again, "Tell me, do your two brothers know how to make soap?"

As soon as these words came out, Shen Qingya was in shock, wondering how Aunt Hua knew about it.She couldn't speak and shook her head in denial.

But Aunt Hua already knew the truth of the matter, and how could she let it go by denying it when she came to this point, and said viciously: "I know it all, it's useless for you to lie to me, hurry up and tell Fang Zi the truth, otherwise don't blame me The old lady is cruel and merciless."

Shen Qingya shook her head desperately with tears streaming down her face, Aunt Hua didn't understand what she meant by shaking her head, she refused to say or didn't know, and signaled her nephew to take out the cloth ball on her mouth.

Shen Qingya cried and begged: "I don't know, I really don't know, how could their brothers tell me a girl about such a big thing."

In fact, the Shen brothers never kept Shen Qingya behind their backs when making soap, she knew all the steps.But she can't say that it's what his two younger brothers will live and live in in the future. If she tells others that her two younger brothers are so young, how will they make money in the future.

Even if she dies, she still has to keep the secret, that is the formula her elder brother worked hard to come up with, if it is to guard against her, she doesn't know it right now.Brother actually trusted her as a sister, so she wouldn't tell it even if she died.

Seeing that Shen Qingya refused to say anything, Aunt Hua didn't know for a while whether she really didn't know.Honestly speaking, if she has such a recipe for making money, she will definitely not tell her daughter.What if the daughter tells the son-in-law about the outsider?

Baocheng sneered and said, "I don't want to say it's easy, I don't know it's better. Auntie, don't talk so much nonsense, just let me put this woman to bed. Then she will be mine, and the two brothers from the Shen family will be mine." In order for their sister to live well, they have to tell me Fang Zi."

This era is particularly harsh on women's reputation, it's not that Baocheng is whimsical, some people's daughters are not slept by men, but they have to commit themselves to others just by accident.There are not a few women who have been defiled by hooligans and hooligans. In the end, there are not a few women who have to commit themselves. Most of them can only admit it by pinching their noses.Even if there were staunch women who were resolutely unwilling to send the adulterer to prison in the end, the rumors and rumors from the outside world made many women unbearable, hanged at home, and even affected the marriages of other sisters in the family.

So this is really not Baocheng's idiot's dream, it is really the choice that the family of a woman who is underestimated at this time will make.This kind of thing is not unheard of even a hundred years later, let alone at this time.

"No!" Zhou Qiang's voice sounded angrily.

"Why not, I came up with this idea!" Baocheng stared angrily.

Aunt Hua looked at her son and couldn't understand what he was thinking. In the past, she looked down on Shen Qingya. Apart from simply being jealous of her good life and being born into a wealthy family, she also disliked her for being inferior to a peasant girl. , refused to live a good life with his son.It is different now, whoever gets Shen Qingya will get the hen that lays the golden eggs, the soap business is a profitable business, Aunt Hua is naturally happy.

"Baocheng, you really can't do this, you really need your cousin to come." Seeing that Baocheng was going to get angry, Aunt Hua's family hurriedly appeased, "My sister was raped, so I can swallow my anger and marry the perpetrator, but if you are a child Well, after all, the Shen family is a scholar's family, pedantic and old-fashioned, with a good face, and a younger sister who is a concubine. If she can't read this book, wouldn't she be ridiculed by all the scholars. Even for this, if you don't want to pursue it, you can only pursue it to the end."

This is an argument that Aunt Hua only thought of when Baocheng got married.

Aunt Hua persuaded her earnestly, "Baocheng, in the current situation, you can't be arrogant, those scholars have lost face! Think about it again, what kind of woman won't be rich in the future!"

Baocheng thought about it, and indeed, even if a scholar would marry his younger sister to the man who raped her, but for the sake of reputation, it is impossible to let his own younger sister be a concubine anyway, it is a shame that he has married.

Baocheng said bitterly: "In the future, I want to get the most of the business!"

"Okay, okay." Aunt Hua responded with a smile on her face.At that time, Fang Zi will be in his own hands, and it may be uncertain who will take the lead.

Aunt Hua winked at Zhou Qiang, Zhou Qiang stepped forward, and Aunt Hua and the others withdrew to wait outside the house.

Zhou Qiang looked at this woman who he couldn't reach in the past in his dreams, and he thought it was a dream, and he said affectionately: "I will treat you well in the future."

Shen Qingya was shaking like a sieve, because her mouth was gagged, she could only shake her head non-stop, feeling hopeless in her heart.

And the women who lived in the same compound outside the door, because their children were coerced, just listened to Aunt Hua and Baocheng's bargaining to determine Shen Qingya's fate, none of them dared to intercede.

The author has something to say:
