Chapter 2023 Cleaning up the Shrew
Lai Sizhuang smiled and said, "Mom, what you said is too serious. Isn't it just a job of digging soil and selling firewood? What's there to be excited about?"
Bang bang bang!
Mrs. Lai was so angry that she picked up the broom behind the house and hit Lai Sizhuang so hard that the broom was broken. She also scolded her very hard: "You bastard, you don't care about this job anymore." ? If we didn’t have this job, the shrew in the health center would eat up our family!"
"Have you forgotten how they laughed at our family these days, saying that our family has no ability and yet we are still working as a thousand households? We are just standing in the latrine but can't make any fertilizer, which makes them live a miserable life with our family. If they change to a rich family, If the children make up a thousand households, they will already be rich."
"Listen, people are saying this about our family. We got a deal that can turn our family around. If you don't cherish it, I'll beat you to death!"
But the broom failed and was interrupted. Mrs. Lai could only grab Lai Sizhuang's ear and said: "Bad boy, please remember, this is not a small job of digging earth and selling firewood. This is a favor, a life-saving job." Well, if you don’t despise this kindness, then get out of here, I’m not a traitor like you who still dislikes being helped by others!”
When I came to Sizhuang, I was nine years old, which was the age when I would attract cats and dogs and make people dislike me. I just said the wrong thing, and I was happy that my family could get this deal. After being scolded and beaten, I cried: "Ugh. Woo hoo, mother, I know I was wrong, please let go quickly, my ears are going to fall off!"
It hurts so much, I'm afraid the base of my ear may be twisted and bleed.
When I came to Erzhuang, I usually loved my fourth son, but this time I got angry and cursed: "You deserve it. If I didn't beat you up, you'd think this deal fell from the sky."
When I came to Sizhuang to listen, I cried even louder.
"Howl like shit, shut up now." Madam Lai cursed and raised her hand to hit him.
Come to Sizhuang and shut up quickly, not daring to cry anymore.
Only then did Mrs. Lai give up. She looked at Lai Sanzhuang and said with a smile: "Thank you for your hard work, mother. This job is well done. You are our whole family, no, you are the hero of the entire health center."
Lai Sanzhuang said sheepishly: "Mom, don't say that...it was Aunt Niu who pulled the strings, and Mrs. Qin is easy to talk to, so this business can be done."
Then he pointed to a letter on the table and said: "Mrs. Qin's letter to you, please read it quickly."
When he said goodbye to Mrs. Qin, Mrs. Qin gave him a letter, saying it was for his mother.
"Look at me, I forgot about it." Mrs. Lai handed the letter to Lai Erzhuang: "Second brother, you are very literate, read it to your mother."
Then he said: "You have to learn how to read with the senior management every day. You are not required to be admitted to the exam, but you must understand the letters exchanged. You can't let others laugh at our family, do you understand?"
The senior manager used to be a steward of a wealthy family. He had been literate since he was a child and could also do accounting. But when the thieves came, the master's family escaped and they couldn't take so many people with them, so they returned the deed of sale to them and let them escape on their own. go.
The senior executive fled with his father-in-law's family. As a result, two years of war broke out, and only six of the more than 20 members of the family died.
Lai Qianhu thought that his family was not familiar with the northwest, so he bought the senior executive's family with grain.
Nowadays, senior executives and their families can not only help with work, but also teach their sons how to read. It is really worth buying.
"I know, mother, we will learn how to read well." Several villagers responded.
Lai Erzhuang began to read a letter to Mrs. Lai... Gu Jinli knew that Lai's family didn't know much about literacy, so he wrote in vernacular and used simple words.
"Mrs. Qin said that she trusts Aunt Niu. Because of Aunt Niu, she trusts our family. As long as our family is honest and does not harm others, this business will continue. But if our family has any bad intentions, she is not afraid. Not only will the business fail, it will also make our family suffer..."
When Mrs. Lai saw that he had stopped reading, she urged: "If there is anything else, hurry up and read it."
Lai Erzhuang shook his head: "No, that's it."
Lai Sizhuang came over and said, "Mom, what Mrs. Qin wrote doesn't seem to be a good word. She is indeed very fierce."
"You're so mean, as long as this business can continue, what's the point of being more mean?" Madam Lai didn't mind, and said, "If you say this ugly thing up front, it will be easier for everyone to get along with you in the future."
Mrs. Lai's temper is the same as Mr. Kuang's. She likes to speak directly and hates talking in roundabout ways.
"Fourth child, you go and play with the children of your relatives and tell them the good news." Mrs. Lai smiled proudly and said, "I'm waiting for those shrews to come to my door and ask for work!"
When she sent the clay to Yangshanwei, the women laughed at her for being stupid, saying how could anyone spend money to buy clay?
Now you see, not only do people spend money to buy land, but they also pay a high price!
"Hey, I'll go right away." He came to Sizhuang and ran away like a rabbit. When he saw a friend, he grabbed him and talked about selling soil and firewood.
The friends were all shocked: "What, it's true or not, Chang Liang Wei is really willing to pay thirty cents to buy land, then Chang Liang Wei's people must be crazy!"
Earth, soil is everywhere, but you spend money to buy it. Does Chang Liang Wei have so much money that he has no place to put it?
Lai Sizhuang snorted proudly: "Of course it's true. My family has signed a deed with Mrs. Qin. Do you know what the deed is? Once signed, the matter is settled, and no one is allowed to go back on it. , you will have to pay money if you regret it.”
He waved his hands again and said: "Don't talk about this anymore, you won't understand if you do... In short, Mrs. Qin is willing to spend money to buy our soil and firewood. She has already given some money, as long as we send the soil and firewood to Chang Liang Wei After you go, you can get the remaining silver."
After these words, the friends were frightened: "Really, Mrs. Qin's family is really rich."
Still sick, spend money to buy soil!
Lai Sizhuang said: "I won't tell you anymore. I'm going to find the senior manager and go digging with him. A bag of soil can be sold for thirty cents. We brothers and the senior manager's family can dig in a day." With a hundred bags, you can earn a lot of money, and you can buy meat!"
After saying that, he didn't wait much and ran away immediately.
After hearing this, the children of the family were all stunned. It took a moment to react. They screamed and ran to the family tent, shouting as they ran: "Mother, mother, this is incredible. The soil can be sold for money. With a bag of pennies, I’m going to get rich!”
For a time, the entire residential camp was filled with such sounds.
Lai Sizhuang laughed and said, "Hmph, you're worried. Come and beg my mother quickly."
My mother said that this job was not easy to come by and that we could not just give the work to the relatives. We had to ask them to come to our house and beg for help before we could do the work for them.
If my mother took the initiative to go to her relatives and ask them to dig up soil and sell it for money, these shrews would definitely not value the deal and would take the opportunity to raise the price.
It has to be said that Mrs. Lai knows the tempers of her relatives very well. After she asked Sizhuang to come, within half an hour, some relatives came to inquire.
Mrs. Lai raised her chin and said firmly: "This is indeed the case."
After hearing this, Xu Laoliu's daughter-in-law was shocked, but her face showed disbelief: "Haha, madam, is it true or not, is there anyone in the world who buys land?"
I'm afraid he's not a lunatic.
