Chapter Fifty-Eight: Calculated

Passing by the shop selling fabrics, Li Yuqing thought that it was already summer, and she had been very busy recently and had not bought the cloth for summer clothes, and the cloth she bought earlier was now a little thick.

Walking into the shop, the shopkeeper who sold the cloth was very happy to see Li Yuqing. Although Li Yuqing has bought it a few times, she has bought a lot of them every time. In her heart, she already treated Li Yuqing as a big master. Because the price of the cloth she bought is good, although she bargains every time, she can still make a lot of money.

asked Li Yuqing about the price of the cloth she needed, so he led her to a shelf and stood there, introducing Li Yuqing to the latest fabrics.

Li Yuqing saw that the color of the fabric in front of her was light, and it was slippery in her hand, which was very suitable for summer wear, and she was very satisfied with it.

After picking and picking up for half an hour, they finally chose three colors that were relatively suitable for what they were wearing now. The shopkeeper was very happy to see that Li Yuqing had chosen three pieces of fabric, and this time he didn't need Li Yuqing to say anything, he took care of himself and quoted Li Yuqing a relatively lowest price, which was lower than the price that Li Yuqing wanted to repay.

Li Yuqing was a little confused, I don't know if the shopkeeper took the wrong medicine, I am very puzzled.

Seeing Li Yuqing like this, the shopkeeper also felt that the price he might offer was a little low, and then explained, "Miss Li, there is a reason why you say that I am like this." Although the quality of this batch of cloth is not to be said, it can't stand the rich people in the town who like bright colors, and those who are relatively poor will only choose cheap and durable. ”

Li Yuqing understood after listening to the shopkeeper's words, and deliberately looked at the shopkeeper with a tangled face.

The shopkeeper saw Li Yuqing's entangled face, afraid that she would misunderstand him, and explained: "Miss Li, you have also seen and touched the fabric, you know it." I lowered the price like this to let you know that I want to keep you as a customer, and I won't tell them about others. ”

Of course, Li Yuqing also knows this reason, and now that she thinks about it, she doesn't know if she lowers the price, so she saves herself from explaining to herself.

"Look at what the shopkeeper said, I know that you are sincere, and I buy it at your house every time. I will continue to patronize it if there is a good one in the future, and I will also give me a low price when the time comes" After speaking, he smiled twice at the shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper listened to Li Yuqing say this, and put his mind at ease.

Walking out of the cloth shop, Li Yuqing put the cloth in the back basket, because it was too long and a little exposed outside, Li Yuqing didn't bother to care about it.

When he was about to go out of the street and saw a stall selling meat, Li Yuqing smashed his mouth twice, because he had been busy for a while, so he hadn't eaten meat for several days. It's still early to see that there is still a lot of good meat on the stall, Li Yuqing decided to sell more dumplings at home, make steamed buns for the village chief's family, and Li Daniu's family to send some. I haven't eaten it for a long time, and my saliva is about to fall when I think of the white buns.

The boss who sold pork was very surprised when he saw Li Yuqing, no wonder because Li Yuqing and Li Congwen used to send toons together, and they bought them every once in a while. Now because he is busy, Li Congwen has sent toons by himself, Li Yuqing hasn't been here for a long time, and he hasn't bought meat for a long time.

Li Yuqing walked in front of the meat stall, and before she could start to say how much she wanted, the boss who sold the meat gave Li Yuqing a pig for her, of course, for free.

Li Yuqing saw that the pork boss was so polite, and was embarrassed to thank him. Pointing to a piece of pork weighing three or four catties for him to weigh, he told him to prepare buns and dumplings by himself.

The pork boss weighed it very well and helped Li Yuqing cut it into diced meat, so that she could go home and chop the stuffing. Li Yuqing was very grateful, and gave a few more bones when she was about to leave with the meat.

Li Yuqing was very happy, and felt that she had really come to the right town today, not only did Shopkeeper Yao send pastries. The shopkeeper of the cloth shop also cheapened the cloth money. Before I started buying pork, I sent the pig into the water, not only to help myself cut the meat but also to send the bones, and I made a lot of money today.

Humming lyrics that people here don't understand all the way, I walked home.

It wasn't until I walked halfway that I realized that I hadn't met anyone along the way, so I was right to tilt my head and think about it. Today is not a serious day for the big market, and now when the farm is busy, it is not like himself, who has nothing to do and go all the way to the city.

It wasn't until the entrance of the village that I met people, and it was not too early to make lunch. Most women come back early to cook, and only a few men who have little land at home also go home and wait for a rest.

Li Yuqing greeted the people in the village, some of whom knew each other, and some of whom did not know each other, and slowly walked towards their homes.

"Oh, Yuqing has gone into the city to buy things again," said a woman who was not very familiar

Some people who didn't notice it looked at the person when they heard the shout, and sure enough, three pieces of cloth were exposed in the back basket. The surrounding women surrounded and chattered with Li Yuqing about promising and great skills.

Li Yuqing's head was big when she heard it, and besides, she was not familiar with them, and none of them knew her seriously, but she didn't want to say anything, so she just nodded vigorously and laughed at Yinghe.

After the old meeting, I don't know who shouted, "It's not too early to eat", and everyone dispersed.

Li Yuqing touched her stiff face with her hand, her head was full of black lines, rural women were really terrible.

One of the women who just besieged Li Yuqing here was Lai San's neighbor. Her man didn't meet Li Yuqing when he came home earlier than her.

The woman was very excited when she returned home, and when she saw her own man sitting on the kang drinking water, she wanted to tell him what she had just seen and heard, but she also deliberately sold a pass, "Boss, guess who I just met when I came back." ”

The man, Li Dahai, saw that his mother-in-law wanted to say something about his wife, and his tongue was very disliked: "You mother-in-law doesn't cook at noon, you want to starve to death, we can't do it, I don't want you to think about yourself, you should always think about your son and daughter-in-law." ”

Tian was very aggrieved, but he didn't say that he was unhappy in his heart, "It's Li Yuqing, the boss of the family you work for" Li Dahai frowned, and Tian continued, "I just came back and met her, good guy, I'm really rich." I bought several batches of cloth, and I knew it was a rarity when I looked at it. There's still meat at the bottom of the basket or something, and a lot of money buys it. He said a few times.

Li Dahai frowned and thought about things, and Tian said what he heard again, and there was a crisp bang, and Tian was stuck before he finished speaking. Looking down, a black porcelain bowl was smashed to pieces, which was exactly what Li Dahai used to drink water just now.

Tian was distressed for a while, a bowl costs a few pennies, and his family is not rich, isn't this cutting her meat.

Just wanted to sprinkle and roll around and cry, Li Dahai shouted, "You brainless woman, then Li Yuqing is also what you should talk about, not to mention that I am still working in her house,"

He lowered his head and sighed, "It's hard to find a job now, if someone wants to be heard and tell her, where can I find such a good job, what do I expect to do with that little land." ”

Tian's posture paused suddenly, thinking that he couldn't take care of the distressed bowl on this floor, he hurriedly ran out of the house, looked around to make sure that no one closed the door, and walked back to the house to breathe a sigh of relief.

Seeing Li Dahai, who was blue with an iron face, he smiled and apologized to Li Dahai, but Li Dahai turned his face and ignored her.

Here, Li San hid behind his door, panting.

After being told by Li Yuqing in the morning, Li San was very angry and wanted to find an opportunity to take revenge on Li Yuqing, so he walked around the village twice and came back only when it was time to eat. Just when I went home, I happened to hear Li Dahai's conversation with them, and when he heard Tian running out, Li San hurriedly ran home and was not discovered.

Thinking of what they said, Li Yuqing bought a lot of things, and a thought came to his mind, and Li San walked into the house with a sigh of relief.

His father and brothers were eating, Li San surrounded him with chopsticks, and when he saw that he suddenly lost his appetite for food, he threw away his chopsticks and sat aside. Li San's father snorted coldly when he saw it and ignored him.

After a while, Li San saw that everyone was eating, so he hurriedly gathered around, smiled and showed a mouthful of big yellow teeth and said, "Dad, eldest brother and second brother, I have something I want to discuss with you."

Old man Li didn't even roll his eyelids, he didn't know what kind of goods his three sons had, and what good things could he say.

Li San's eldest brother Li Da saw that his father didn't speak, and said, "Lai San, don't say anything, your second brother and I still want to marry a daughter-in-law in the future." ”

Li San's eldest brother and second brother will also do some things like him, but they are not as good as Li San. Even so, there is no one in ten miles and eight villages who marries their daughters to them. It's not young, and now it's still a single.

Li San saw that no one was interested, so he briefly talked about his own business. It turned out that he wanted to climb the wall of Li Yuqing's house in the dark at night, and when the time came, he could marry her and occupy her family's things.

Li Da looked at Li Er's eyes and asked if it was feasible.

Li San noticed their interaction and decided to work harder, "You also know that Li Yuqing's family still has two oil bottles, just a yellow-haired girl, as long as I enter her house, she can still help me, and she won't let me fiddle." All you have to do is shout and catch traitors in the village, and when the villagers see me, I'll be done. For the sake of her younger siblings, she can only marry me in the future. ”

After a pause, he said, "Big brother, the second brother is not young, and my family has no money, even if I marry a daughter-in-law in the future, I can't find a good one." If I marry Li Yuqing, I can occupy her family's property, I can buy you a young and beautiful woman as a wife, and I can let my father live a good life in the future. After speaking, he looked at the old man Li who was silent.

Sure enough, Old Man Li's eyes suddenly shook, and when he saw his three sons looking at him, he coughed embarrassedly twice, "I feel that the three are right, it is feasible, you think." ”

Li Da and Li Er looked at each other, nodded, and finally finished discussing as a family.

Just wait for the night to fall.
