Chapter 52 Are You so Brave?

In addition to her father, the eldest aunt's youngest son Zhou Dajiang also came along. Read

"Cousin, thank you. Lend me some money to help my father with his leg." Zhou Dajiang looked a little haggard. He was about to pay his respects to her when he saw her, but was stopped by Su Qing'an.

"We are a family, so there is no need for this. It's good enough if I can help."

She took the two to the main hall to sit and talk.

Wu was at home, and Aunt Zhou also told her, but she didn't come out, and Su Qing'an didn't care.

It was enough to maintain superficial harmony. She would do what she should do as a daughter-in-law, and she would also fulfill her filial piety, including Lu Bocheng's share.

But she didn't need to live by anyone's face.

After sitting down, she heard that the eldest aunt had received the money and had persuaded her uncle-in-law to stay in Pingchuan County to treat his leg. Su Qing'an breathed a sigh of relief and asked Zhou Dajiang: "Are you all in the county?"

The fifteen-year-old boy was already half a laborer. Now that his father had fallen and his elder brother was gone, the boy's eyes had become more determined.

"My third sister has taken Jin Hai back today. I will run between the two places. The family fields have been sold. I am going to find work in another stone quarry so that I can pay back my cousin's money as soon as possible."

Su Qing'an looked at his thin body and shook her head: "There is no hurry to pay back the money. With your body, how can you chisel stones? You may not be able to carry the load."

Zhou Dajiang puffed out his chest and pretended to be able to do it: "I can do it. There are other jobs in the stone quarry, I can do it.

Su's father followed and persuaded him. But the 15-year-old boy already has his own ideas. He will be the pillar of the family in the future and is eager to support the family.

Su Qing'an thought about it, looked at the cousin in front of him again, and then he had an idea in his mind.

He said: "I will open a shop in a few days. I need a young man to run around. Do you want to come to Fengting Town to help my cousin? Before you earn enough for the shop rent, food and accommodation are provided. My cousin will give you 500 coins a month, and it will increase depending on the situation in the future. "

Zhou Dajiang didn't react for a moment and stood there in a daze.

Su's father reacted and asked: "My daughter, you want to open a shop? What shop? Do your in-laws know? You are a newlywed, do they agree that you can show up in public?"

This matter has indeed not been told to Lu's father. But Su Qing'an still has the idea of ​​a modern independent woman. If she wants to do something, she will do it. She doesn't care about anyone's eyes, and there is no such thing as showing up in public in her mind.

"I haven't said it yet."

Lu's father was a little anxious when he heard it: "You, you child, why don't you tell your in-laws about such a big thing? You are married now, not in your mother's house, you can do whatever you want. "

Seeing that Su Qing'an didn't listen, Lu's father became more anxious, and got up and pulled her: "Come on, you will go with me to meet the in-laws. "

Su Qing'an was a little reluctant. It's not that she didn't want to say it, but the shop hasn't opened yet. Now the shop has just been rented, and she wants to wait a few days before talking about it. Now Su's father pulled her up, so she had to get up.

Then Zhou Dajiang reacted and rushed to Su Qing'an: "Cousin, I am willing, I am willing! I will be your clerk, and I don't want that much money. When you make money, just give me some money. ”

Five hundred coins, his father worked so hard chiseling stones, but only earned one or two taels a month, and food and lodging were not provided. Even if he went to the stone quarry to find work, he might not be able to get so much money.

He could work as a clerk in the shop, learn how to treat people, and not have to do hard work in the stone quarry. He could also stay with his cousin, and no one would beat or scold him. Zhou Dajiang immediately reacted and happily ran to Su Qingmei to agree, fearing that Su Qingmei would change her mind if he spoke too slowly.

Su's father held Su Qingmei's hand and looked at him, and was stunned by his eager look.

Su Qingmei also laughed out loud.

"Okay, then you come to work as a clerk for your cousin. My cousin just rented the shop today, and it will take a few days to prepare for the decoration. You go home and pack it up, and come back in two days. ”

"Okay, okay. "Zhou Dajiang swept away his melancholy and his face became more lively.

Su's father was stunned. This girl rented the shop quietly?

"You, where did you get the money?"

"It's the fifty taels. I was supposed to pay the rent today, but I had no money after paying it to my uncle. The shop owner was kind enough to defer the payment for two months, and I will pay two more taels of interest then. I still have ten taels in my hand, which I will use for decoration and stocking. It should be enough to tighten the belt. Small business."

Su's father opened his mouth wide.

He had been digging for food in the soil all his life, and it took him several years to save more than two hundred coins under the nose of his stepmother. His daughter was going to use dozens of taels to do business all of a sudden?

He never dared to think about business. How could someone without money and no backing have the idea of ​​doing business?

"You, you child, how can you be so bold! What if you lose money? You have lost all the money your son-in-law left for you. How are you going to live? "

"Dad, don't worry, I know what's going on."

Seeing that Su's father still looked incredible, Su Qing'an briefly told him about her plan...

Seeing that Su's father was still frowning, she comforted him: "Dad, don't worry, it's just a small business, the loss won't be much, it's just one season's rent. And I still have 15 acres of land left by his grandparents, I can eat the rent, I won't starve."

After hearing this, Su's father still looked worried, and worried that his in-laws would say something about her, so he took her to find Lu Shengcai with a worried look on his face.

When Lu's father saw Su's father, he was very enthusiastic and took them to the backyard of the shop to sit and talk.

After hearing about Su Qing'an's uncle, he gave Zhou Dajiang five taels of silver. Zhou Dajiang knelt down and thanked him.

Seeing that Father Lu was in a good mood, Father Su told him about Su Qing'an's plan to open a shop to do business. After saying that, he looked at him anxiously, afraid that he would be angry and that he would embarrass his daughter.

Lu Shengcai really didn't expect Su Qing'an to have such an idea. A woman actually wanted to open a shop to do business?

For the first time, he looked at this daughter-in-law carefully.

Wu was the one who arranged the marriage, and he didn't know this daughter-in-law. He also understood that the familiar families in the town were unwilling to marry their daughters to Bocheng.

He hired a country girl, and he himself was from the countryside, so he would not despise her identity. Seeing that she had been married since she came, she was quite decent and had good cooking skills, and he was quite satisfied. After Bocheng left, seeing that she was well behaved, he was more satisfied.

He didn't meet her at ordinary times. Except for seeing her at meals, there was not much communication. As a father-in-law, he also had to avoid suspicion. After Bocheng left, he wanted Wu to take care of her more in the future.

Before she even opened her mouth to Wu, she had never thought that her daughter-in-law actually wanted to open a shop to do business!

Su Qing'an saw that Father Lu was looking at her steadily, so she let her look at her. She told him her idea. Father Lu was a little stunned after hearing it.

Su Qing'an said, "Dad, no one in the town has done this business, and I don't know what it will be like in the end. But it has low costs and won't lose much money. If the situation is not good, I will close the shop, and it will be in time to turn back. And I also want to save some money. In case Bocheng becomes successful in the future, he is alone without a family or background, and I also want to support him more financially."

Father Lu was still immersed in the business that Su Qing'an mentioned. He really couldn't imagine that there was such a business.

He had been doing business for more than ten years, but he didn't think of that business.

Hearing her talk about Bocheng again, seeing that she was willing to make plans for Bocheng, he was a little touched.

He looked at her and said, "Did Bocheng tell you something when he left?"
