Chapter 1339
Wang Xiaoming said: "How much can I ask for? I have money now, buy a new one, don't tell me."
When Yang Ming heard Wang Xiaoming's words, he couldn't help but curl up his lips. A penny would stump a heroic man. With money, Wang Xiaoming would be more confident and his self-confidence would return.
On the boat back to the island, the boatman couldn't help but smile when he saw Wang Xiaoming dragging his family with him, carrying clothes and quilts: "You guys are so funny, you still need to bring quilts when you go home."
Wang Xiaoming said with a smile: "I don't have it at home, otherwise I won't be able to build it when I go back."
"Then we won't celebrate the New Year at home. We'll celebrate it in the county town. There's no one at home anyway."
Wang Xiaoming smiled and didn't answer. Why was there no one there? They left without even saying hello to his father and ancestors. They just left.
"Uncle, do you have any explanation for our sale of the island?" Wang Xiaoming asked.
The boatman shook his head: "No, the Huang family can't care about it now. Something happened to the daughter of the Luo family, Afen, a few days ago. Have you heard about it?"
Wang Xiaoming nodded: "I heard a little bit, how are you now?" He also tried calling Luo Junsheng, but the other party did not answer his call and directly blocked him. Wang Xiaoming didn't know the reason, so he stopped calling.
The boatman said: "I heard that the man is awake and his life is not in danger, but a bone in his body is broken. If it cannot be cured, he will be paralyzed in bed for the rest of his life."
Wang Xiaoming was startled: "Did you fall to your waist?"
The boatman said: "I don't know exactly. This Ah Fen is really pitiful. She thought she married into a good family, but it turns out that Huang is such a vicious person. If she hadn't been beaten too hard, how could she Can’t you think of jumping off a building? I heard that one of Fen’s ears was deafened.”
Wang Xiaoming clenched his fists and gritted his teeth: "What did the Luo family say?"
The boatman sighed: "What did the Luo family say? The Huang family said that her ears were also broken, and there were no other injuries on her head. How could her ears be damaged? Afen's eldest son also said: Dad beat his mother. The Luo family Even if they knew it, they didn't say anything now. The first thing was to ask the Huang family to pay for the rescue, and we would wait until it was settled. The Luo family wanted to go to the Huang family to cause trouble, but Luo Maogang and his son refused to let him go."
According to the fierce and fierce nature of the local people, if a daughter gets married and encounters something like this, it is the husband's family's contempt for the whole family. The mother's family will definitely take the lead, but neither the father nor the brother of the person involved agrees to make trouble. What else can my uncles and brothers say?
Wang Xiaoming didn't answer. He knew that in this case, the Luo family was afraid of offending the Huang family. If the Huang family refused to pay for medical treatment or arrange for people to take care of them, their family would really be destroyed. All the money was lost. In an unequal marriage, one has to endure such humiliation.
The boatman shook his head and said, "Of course, the Luo family can't do anything about it. If a person falls and disappears, go make a fuss and ask for a sum of money, then the matter will be settled. But now that the person has not left, it's not good. It's so unfair." Hanging up and down, it's not time to break up."
While talking, the boat had already docked, and Wang Xiaoming rode a tricycle down. When meeting acquaintances on the road, it was always necessary to say hello and wish them a happy New Year. The three aunts hired by Wang Xiaoming's shop are all neighbors on the island. When they came home yesterday to spread the word, everyone knew that Wang Xiaoming's restaurant business in the county town was booming and that Wang Xiaoming was about to make a fortune. Especially the Buddha Jumping Over the Wall brought back by the three families, the fragrance wafted far away, and almost everyone in the village smelled it. The smell was like fairy air, and it was intoxicating when you smell it. No wonder you want to make a fortune.
As soon as Wang Xiaoming got home, many children came to his house to pay New Year greetings and ask for money. Wang Xiaoming was prepared early and took out red envelopes, one for each child. The children took the red envelopes and left happily. Wang Bing looked at Uncle giving out so many red envelopes: "Uncle, I want them too."
Wang Xiaoming said with a smile: "Let your uncle take you to other people's homes to ask for money. The red envelopes just given out are not for nothing."
Wang Ergou got his eldest brother's permission and took Wang Bing to pay New Year's greetings. This is a local custom. On New Year's Day and New Year's Day, a child goes to a neighbor's house to pay New Year greetings. The host's family prepares a red packet of any amount, ranging from five to ten yuan, to seek good luck. In previous years, Wang Xiaoming's family conditions were not good, so he only asked his nephew and younger brother to visit a few neighbors who were close to each other. Accordingly, the children from those families would also come to his house to pay New Year greetings. Wang Xiaoming would give some small profits, and if there were more, he would He couldn't handle it anymore. Everyone knew about his situation and generally wouldn't let children disturb him. The situation is different this year. As soon as he came back, everyone came to visit him, which was a kind of recognition for him, so Wang Xiaoming could let his brother and nephew go and seek profit.
As soon as Wang Xiaoming packed up his things, someone came to visit him. It was an aunt who worked in her shop: "San Amu, I wish you a happy New Year! Come in and sit down. How can I let you come to my house first? I should I should go and give you New Year greetings."
Auntie waved her hand: "I know you have just arrived home and your things must not be packed away yet. It's okay. Alu, San Amu is here to tell you something."
Wang Xiaoming came out with melon and fruit snacks: "What's the matter, Third Amu, tell me."
The aunt grabbed some melon seeds in her hand and said, "Our store still needs to hire people after the Chinese New Year, right?"
"Yes." Wang Xiaoming nodded.
The aunt said: "Didn't you say before that you will recruit young people in the future? My niece-in-law, Ah Shui, is not very old, only in her twenties. She took care of the child at home last year. Now that the child is weaned, she wants to find something to do. The child is small and she doesn’t want to be too far away. I heard that your store is hiring people, so she asked me to ask you to see if she can hire someone. Ah Shui is a very honest girl, hard-working and not bad. I I feel pretty good.”
Wang Xiaoming said: "Yes, as long as she is healthy. When the store opens, you can ask her to come over."
The aunt smiled and nodded: "Then it's settled. I'll come over early to settle this matter with you, so that you won't have enough manpower by then."
"I haven't started recruiting yet. If San Amu knows a suitable young girl, she can introduce it to me. The main thing is that she has a reliable character." Wang Xiaoming said with a smile.
Auntie nodded: "I know, of course we have to be diligent and not lazy, otherwise we will attract others and cause trouble for ourselves."
Wang Xiaoming smiled and nodded: "Thank you, Third Aunt. The water is boiling. I'll make tea for you."
"No more drinks. I have to go back and make lunch. You are busy with your work." Auntie said, grabbed some melon seeds, got up and left.
Yang Ming came out of his room with a bucket and rag: "Who came just now?"
"San Amu said that her niece-in-law wants to come to our store to work, and I agreed." Wang Xiaoming said with a smile. He was in a good mood. He couldn't recruit people before, but now some people take the initiative to come to their store to find work. This is a great progress.
