Chapter 315: Surprised
Liao Chengzhi's parents and eldest brother also looked at Liao Chengzhi dumbfounded, this child used to be giggling no matter what, and he had never been cold-faced. Even his wife and son were treated badly, but they endured it, and they took the money out to break up the family. Since he was a child, I have never seen him turn his face and not recognize people. But today, he is not only mean in his words, but his sister-in-law has even made a move, such Chengzhi is really no longer the original child of their family.
To say that this person's nature is to bully the weak and fear the hard, it is not false at all. If Liao Chengzhi was still the same as before, weak and retreating, even if he knelt on the ground, his mother would still scold and make trouble. But when Shopkeeper Liao no longer gave them a good face and made them feel embarrassed, they all stopped one by one. looked at the sister-in-law of the Liao family sitting on the ground with blank eyes, and didn't dare to say a word to Liao Chengzhi.
Liao Chengzhi's eyes slowly glanced at his father and eldest brother, and when he saw that they were all honest, he convinced the owner from his heart. What the lady of the proprietor said is not false at all, she is afraid of the horizontal, the horizontal is afraid of the lifeless, and the lifeless is afraid of asking for nothing. As long as you ask for something, you will always be in control. They are so honest in front of him now, it's not because they can't control themselves, but they still want to get what they want from him?!
"Daddy! Mother! I won't buy anything, but I'll give you fifty taels of silver to bring back, and you can go back and buy whatever you want. Anyway, you've had enough to eat, so I'll arrange for a carriage to take you back now. In the future, you don't want to come, every year on the New Year, I try to go back to pay New Year's greetings to the elders, and by the way, I will bring back the things that honor you. ”
His mother looked surprised. Originally, they planned that it would be very good to be able to get twenty taels, and it would be better if they could stay and earn money. It's just that I didn't expect that my son would give fifty taels when he opened his mouth. It seems that the son is really making a lot of money. She opened her mouth to bargain and shouted out a hundred taels, but Liao Chengzhi didn't give her a chance to speak. Directly said: "Mother! If you're not satisfied, that's fine! I didn't have anything to give. We're going to spend it here, and we'll see who can consume whom? ”
His father was busy rounding: "Zhizi! Your mother doesn't mean anything else, she's happy! Well, we should go back too. Your second brother may not have done the New Year's goods at home yet, so it's better for us to go back sooner. ”
Her mother also hurried to flattering and laughed. "Yes! I'm so happy! So let's go? ”
The sister-in-law, who was still sitting on the ground, stopped pretending to be dead at this time, and got up with a grunt. patted his buttocks, and asked Liao Chengzhi as if he was fine: "Where's the silver?" Bring it, let's go. ”
Shopkeeper Liao really didn't want to see their faces that there was nothing but silver in their eyes, so he immediately took out fifty taels of silver tickets from his arms and handed them to his father. But his father asked, "Don't you have any money?" We don't need it. ”
"Okay! I'll go to the counter and exchange money for you. "Shopkeeper Liao is not verbose. After changing the silver, he came back with his father, mother, brother and sister-in-law. went to the common car shop of the Wang family and hired a carriage to send them back.
The purpose of the Liao family is nothing more than to ask for money to go back, if they really let them live here, they may not be able to get used to it. The sister-in-law of the Liao family didn't really want to stay here to make money, but because she heard that Liao Lin's mother's family had earned money here, she was not convinced, so she told Liao Chengzhi that she wanted to stay here to earn money. After being humiliated, he honestly followed everyone back.
When they got the silver, they didn't say half a good word about Liao Chengzhi when they went home. When Liao Chengzhi took his daughter-in-law and children back to pay New Year's greetings to the old people of the family in the New Year, he listened to the elders of the clan reproach him. He only said a few words lightly: "Give my father and mother fifty taels of silver, which is really a little less." It's just that my annual salary is only seventy or eighty taels, and I have to keep a little bit of home, and I can't let the children and their mothers go hungry! ”
They all thought that Liao Chengzhi didn't give his father and mother much money, and the clansmen who made his father and mother almost unable to come back were so shocked that their eyes were protruding. "What? Fifty taels? My mother, I can't save that much silver in my life. They even went around saying that Chengzhi had sent them away as if they were called Hanako, tsk! How dark and greedy this experience is! ”
Liao Chengzhi smiled silently, he knew that his father and mother would not say good to him, so he would bring his daughter-in-law and children back for this trip. He doesn't believe in his father and big brother as he used to be.
Not to mention that Liao Chengzhi made a lot of money outside, setting off a storm in his hometown. Let's go back to the guests of Xiaohu's family - the martial brothers.
When they arrived at Xiaohu's house, Xiaohu and the others had already eaten and were sharing accounts with more than a dozen heads of the Wang family and the eldest grandfather.
Erya and the nurse hurriedly scooped a small pot from the pot that had been stewed for a long time. I got some chrysanthemum and coriander from the greenhouse and scalded them to eat.
The brothers hurriedly ate and went home, fearing that they would not be able to get home in the evening after a long delay.
Although they are from the same county, the Xiaohu family is in the southeast of the county, and the samurai family is in the north of the county. The donkey cart did not go as fast as the horse-drawn cart, and it was not until the time when the lights were blown out that they returned home in a miserable cold.
Everyone in the martial family, except for the children, couldn't stay up and went to bed early. The adults were still waiting in the hall, and when they heard a knock at the door, they quickly opened the door and welcomed the brothers into the house.
Wu Zhicheng's mother couldn't wait to ask, "Zhicheng!" Are they all sold? How much did it sell? ”
The old man of the martial arts family was so angry that his beard curled, and he reproached: "The two children are shivering from the cold, you don't want to get some hot water for the children to be hot, just think about your money from selling rabbits." I think you just got into the money and forget it! ”
At this time, Wu Zhicheng's sister shouted in the kitchen: "Grandpa! I've already prepared hot water, and here we are! ”
The eldest brother drank hot water, and finally felt a lot more comfortable, so he started to untie some of the things he brought back.
The old man of the martial arts family was happy to have something, but he only brought back a lot of it yesterday, and today he took something from other people, and he felt embarrassed. couldn't help but reproach the two: "Zhicheng, the owner, only gave Zhicheng something back yesterday, what do you mean if you take so many things from others today?!" ”
"No, grandpa! This big bag of rabbit meat. We brought it back from the rabbit skin. If we bring back the meat of a rabbit, it will be fifty yuan a piece, or if we don't bring back the meat, it will be sixty-five yuan a piece. Let's think this rabbit meat is so cheap. simply brought a lot of them back, and our family entertained guests for the New Year, which also seemed to have face! There are also these shoes, which are also worn by their children when they are small, and Zhicheng has packed them up and brought them back. ”
The old lady of the martial family hurriedly opened the bag that the eldest grandson said was shoes, "Ouch! A lot of these shoes are still new, they really don't want them! No matter how good the family business is, it can't be so defeated! ”
Wu Zhicheng's sister-in-law looked at the shoes with bright eyes. Xi Yingying whispered to her man: "Are these really for our children?" ”
Her man smiled and nodded, and suddenly spoke to the old man with the same excitement as the discovery of the new world: "That's right, master! Guess what. How much money can Zhicheng get from the harvest of one acre of land! Then he reminded: "Guess as hard as you can!" ”
The old man stretched out five fingers tremblingly, and a very small voice came out of his mouth: "Five taels!" ”
The eldest grandson of the martial family shook his head mysteriously: "You guess higher!" ”
The old man couldn't stand it a little, he guessed five taels ruthlessly, is it higher than five taels? Wu Zhichengniang, who is anxious, can't stand them so much. urged the eldest son: "Just tell your grandfather quickly!" It's almost midnight. Still grinding time here! ”
"Oops! Grandpa, I'll talk about it. You have to take it easy, I'm afraid you can't stand it! ”
His father and grandfather said in unison, "Say it! "Ouch! Grandpa, Dad, I'm really shocked today. When I was having dinner with Zhicheng at his owner's house, I listened to many people in their Wang family settling accounts in the courtyard, and I heard them say that the highest thing in an acre of land is about 40 taels of silver, and the lowest is more than 10 taels of silver. Grandfather. Do you believe it? ”
The old man shook his head resolutely: "Don't believe it! ”
The eldest grandson of the martial family said with a smile: "I didn't believe it at the time, and I still laughed at the Wang family in my heart for bragging* and bragging. But when they divide the money. That's real money, but you can't fake it. When they said that they were sharing a quarter of their net income, they received hundreds of taels of silver. On the way, Zhicheng also told me that those are true. In fact, people still counted it in the less, and said that the lady of the owner said that as long as you dare to think and dare to do, nothing is impossible. And we can't believe it even after hearing it with our own ears, how dare we do it? So, we can't blame God for being unfair anymore when we don't have a good time. ”
The old man didn't speak, but just looked at Wu Zhicheng with a puzzled look: "What he said is true, can you really have such a high income?" ”
Wu Zhicheng nodded: "It's true!" But our family can't do it, they simply remove the silt from the often waterlogged fields, and use it to raise very valuable lotus roots, fish, shrimp, loaches, and yellow eels. As long as you raise rabbits and ducks in the rice fields, you will be able to earn ten taels of silver. Also, remember to put away the duck down next year, and that can be sold for money. ”
Wu Zhichengniang saw that they were talking endlessly, and she was in a hurry, so she finally couldn't help but interject: "Zhicheng! How much did you sell that rabbit for? ”
"A total of four taels and two dollars, and another thirty rabbit meat." The eldest grandson of the samurai family said as he took out the silver coin and put it on the table. His mother and his daughter-in-law carefully hid their excitement of earning so much money, and looked at the old man with blank eyes, hoping that the old man would immediately give them the money.
The old man trembled in shock, he couldn't have imagined that his daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law, and granddaughter would make more money than he earned more money from planting the fields for a year. Before, his son and eldest grandson raised nearly 200 ducks and earned three taels of silver, and he already felt that it was a windfall, and he couldn't help but show off to others everywhere with excitement. I can't imagine that this thing that has never been eye-catching is more expensive than a duck!
"Daddy! You see, I'll give them the money tonight! Wu Zhicheng's father, looking at his own woman's green eyes and looking at the silver money on the table, kindly helped his daughter-in-law to bring it up with the old man. (To be continued......)
