The Landlord And His Wife

Mr. He came out, which relieved Liu Changgeng, no need to answer Aunt Yu’s endless questions, Mrs. He saw the two people standing in the courtyard smiling and busy greeting: " His aunt is here! Please come in! Xiaolian is here too!"

Aunt Yu stopped asking Liu Changgeng now, turned her head to look at Mrs He and said with a smile: "Our mothers enter the city today, so let's see Xu'er and your family."

He smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go around when you have time." Turning her head and instructing Zhou: "Go and call Xu'er, just say Aunt Yu and Xiaolian are here."

"

He laughs, this auntie in the village is also a person who likes to gossip, and likes to inquire about other people's affairs. If it is normal, He will not communicate with her, but it is just the little girl of the aunt. Xiaolian is a handy person, and she makes silk flowers very well. At that time, she also came to her door. Xuer looked good and promised to sell it in the shop.

Mrs. He smiled and greeted the mother and daughter to the wing room. Mrs. Yu sat down without rushing. Regardless of her, go and pour tea for the two of them.

"Your family is really much better now! We country people can't compare." Aunt Yu kept talking.

He hurriedly smiled and said politely: "Why are you, ours, our family is also from the countryside, how long did it take to move out? Our house and land are all in the countryside, and everyone is the same."

Aunt Yu smiled and shook her head: "How can it be the same, it is completely different." Then she finally sat down.

When Xiaolian came in, she also looked around, curiously looking here and there, but she was silent.

He was a little unclear about the meaning of the mother and daughter coming to the door, smiled and asked tentatively: "What's the matter with entering the city today? I remember that Xiaolian seems to have not brought silk flowers for a month. Here, did you bring the goods today?" He looked at the mother and daughter, but they were empty-handed, then looked at the door, and there was no basket or anything.

Aunt Yu smiled and said: "No, I didn't bring it today... Wait for Xu'er to come, there are some things I want to discuss with Xu'er!"

He murmured a little in his heart, thinking that it was not a good thing for Aunt Yu to come this time? Fortunately, Liu Xuer came over soon, and when she entered the door, she saw Aunt Yu and Xiaolian, and greeted them with a smile.

Aunt Yu was still the same as when she entered the door, she stood up with a hurried smile, pulled Xuer to praise, and looked at Xuer's clothes, tsk tsk in her mouth, and said The life of Xu'er's family is so good, and now they are wearing satin clothes!

Liu Xuer also felt that Aunt Yu seemed to be a little malicious, and when they entered the door, they didn't see the big basket they usually brought when they went into the city for delivery, and they also didn't deliver for a month. After thinking about it in his heart, he smiled and asked directly, "How is Sister Xiaolian's silk flower doing?"

Xiao Lian's face was stern, as if she was preparing to say something important, but she glanced at Aunt Yu again. Sure enough, the smile on Aunt Yu's face disappeared, and she sighed: "Xu Er, Aunt Yu's house is a little embarrassed now, Xiao Lian has already started talking about kissing, Xiao Lian's brother should also marry a daughter-in-law, It's New Year's Eve, and your uncle Yu has been sick all the time. Taking medicine, your family has been emptied! It's really difficult at home now, and you don't have the money to buy silk cloth, what do you think?"

Liu Xuer said 'oh': "I don't have the money to buy silk cloth? Do you want me to buy silk cloth first for Sister Xiaolian to make? This is no problem."

Aunt Yu glanced at Xiaolian, and Xiaolian was also nervous, as if she was still holding on to something important.

Liu Xuer frowned, so still not satisfied? After thinking about it again, as long as it doesn't go too far, if Aunt Yu just asks to settle the money for the next batch of goods first, it's okay, and the villagers can help. In recent years, it's not that no one has come to cry about how difficult it is for their family. They need to take money first, or advance money here. As long as it's not too much, Liu Xuer usually helps.

So I waited for Aunt Yu to speak, but Aunt Yu said something, but she really called Liu Xuer a little surprised.

Aunt Yu said with a smile: "That's right, our family is not a matter of one or two pieces of silk cloth now. It's really impossible to open the pot at home, and we can't live any longer..."

He naturally heard it from the side, she was in a hurry, and seeing Aunt Yu was laying the groundwork, she couldn't help but hurriedly said: "Auntie, what are you doing? What do you want, just say it! The villagers, if we can help, can we help? If you have something to say, just say it!"

Aunt Yu heard this, then looked at Liu Xuer with a smile and said: "Xuer, I really can't talk about this, it's embarrassing... It's not my greed, it's really I can't make it through the house anymore..."

Liu Xuer nodded with a smile: "Aunt Yu, if you have any ideas, just say, I'll take a look at the details."

Aunt Yu glanced at Xiaolian, and Xiaolian also looked at Aunt Yu, the two seemed to be cheering each other up, and Yu Shengda stammered: "So what... Xiaolian and I Lian thought, can you raise the price of silk flowers for us? I saw it last year. In your shop, the silk flowers made by Xiaolian sell for five cents each, but you only give us two cents for Xiaolian. , We think it's a little too little... Can you give it to Ti?"

He's face was a little ugly, and Liu Xuer smiled and said, "How much do you want to mention?" She has already calculated quickly in her heart. , Sanwen money will not work.

It's just selling... I think, you don't actually have anything to offer, you just buy it, it's like making money in vain..."

Liu Xuer's mind stopped immediately, and she looked at Aunt Yu in surprise, what is this called? It's obviously not a good idea to talk like this. She didn't care, she asked Aunt Yu with a smile: "Aunt Yu, what do you want, just say it directly."

Aunt Yu paused again, and then said: "I have discussed with Xiaolian, a silk flower is five cents, we will take four cents, and you can't do any work, silk cloth or something. It’s all prepared by ourselves, which is equivalent to making money in vain, just take a penny…”

He looked at her in surprise, her eyes became bored, and looked at Aunt Yu up and down, but after so many years, these things have always been handled by Liu Xuer, so she held back did not speak.

Liu Xu'er smiled and said, "Aunt Yu, when I received your silk flowers, I should have told you and Sister Xiaolian how much we will receive for silk flowers, and the two of us have discussed it, then we can't Repented, as for how much my shop sells, it has nothing to do with you.

Aunt Yu thought for a while before nodding: "Yes, but... what?" She probably forgot what to say next, and turned her head to ask Xiaolian.

Xiao Lian said: "This time, this time..."

Aunt Yu nodded hurriedly: "Yes! From time to time! Our silk flowers are now the most sold in your shop! You should give me a price increase."

Liu Xuer patiently said: "It's okay to go up, it's all from the villagers, since Aunt Yu has opened up, I can't help but give you this face, but it's not so high. Law. I told you before that my shop has rent, taxes, and all kinds of management, all of which are here. I sell a silk flower for five cents, and maybe two cents of it is spent. On these things... you don't need to worry about them, naturally you feel that the price I sell is high and the price for you is low, but if you really open a shop, you will know that these are big heads and should be included in the entry of the shop. "

Aunt Yu blinked and turned to look at Xiao Lian, who was also blinking.

Liu Xuer didn't ask Xiaolian what she was thinking, Xiaolian's attitude at this moment clearly agreed with her mother's style, and the two had the same idea.

Aunt Yu smiled again and said: "Xu Er, I don't understand what you said, and I can't understand... We country people don't understand these things, what you say is what... Anyway, Xiaolian and I have already discussed it, it is four cents of money, it can't be less!"

He couldn't help it and frowned: "Auntie, what are you talking about? Do you suspect that I am lying to you? What are we talking about? This street is How many people do business, you just go and ask, is it what Xuer said!"

Liu Xuer nodded: "Yeah, Aunt Yu, do you want to go back and discuss? You can raise half a cent, and a silk flower will give you two and a half cents, which is equivalent to our two Half of the people, what do you think?"

Aunt Yu was very determined: "No, don't mention the half-penny, can you take this half-penny into your eyes? Xiaolian and I have already discussed it, it's just a four-penny flower. Money, not even half a word!"

He was on fire all of a sudden! Liu Xu'er also frowned at this moment, and said, "Four cents is absolutely not acceptable."

"If it doesn't work, pull it down!" Aunt Yu's voice was raised a lot: "Do you think your family is the only one doing business?! We can't live without your home?! Xuer, I see For the sake of your parents, I just told you well, don't be too black!"

Liu Xuer sneered and said: "I'm really going to have a black heart, I won't accept your silk flowers, you have a lot of connections, just go to yours!"

Aunt Yu jumped up and pulled Xiaolian out, and said angrily: "Let's go! Let's see who suffers last!" Take Xiaolian out.

Liu Changgeng heard them arguing in the house, and hurriedly came in and asked, "What's the matter?"

He said the matter angrily, Liu Changgeng said: "Why is this? Xu'er, don't be angry, it's good that such people are not accepted, they don't know what's wrong! We don't deal with them either. ."

Liu Xuer nodded: "I'm not angry either." However, this is quite strange. In the past, Aunt Yu and Xiaolian came to beg them to receive her silk flowers. Logically, the current situation is still the same. It hasn't changed, the people in the village have to come to themselves if they want to make some money here.

With such a high price all of a sudden, there is no room for negotiation, what does she rely on? Did someone find her again? Want to receive their silk flowers? Also gave four cents a flower?

He just happened to be saying: "It's really weird! She opens her mouth and asks for four cents. If it breaks down, we don't want it, so she earns it? I don't know what she's thinking!"

Liu Changgeng wondered: "That's right."
