Chapter 118: Premonition is not good
Okay, if you don't accept it, you won't accept it, but Dad still has to coax it, but it is inconvenient for Zhao Siniang to tell Zhao Yongzhong the real reason for her objection. Out of helplessness, Zhao Siniang, who was not very kind, decided to hack Liang Yan.
"Dad, this great business has been sent to the door, if I can, I want to do it too! It's just that...... Alas, I heard that this Liang Gongzi's character is not good......"
Without waiting for Zhao Siniang to finish speaking, "Saw-mouthed gourd" interrupted her loudly: "You can't talk nonsense if you have no basis or evidence, Liang Gongzi is a good person." Thinking that he was afraid that the little girl would not believe it, Zhao Yongzhong, who was reluctant to speak, added a little embellishment: "What a very good person!" ”
"But how did I hear that because of Liang Gongzi, Liang Ji began to become mean?" Seeing that Zhao Yongzhong wanted to refute, Zhao Siniang didn't give him a chance to open his mouth, and continued: "Don't talk about it, let's talk about the wages that his family pays to short-term workers!" Dad, you have also worked part-time jobs in Liang Ji on and off for nearly ten years, can you tell me, is it that since Liang Gongzi took over Liang Ji's business, Liang Ji always likes to shorten a day's work to half a day, and then pay people half a day's wages? Don't deny it! The villagers are embarrassed to take it out and say it clearly, but when they are in Zhaojia Village, they can always hear some people talking quietly! ”
Who's to say it isn't? Since three years ago, Liang Ji, who was originally lenient and benevolent, suddenly began to find various excuses to deduct wages, which made everyone feel miserable. But fortunately, I don't deduct more every time, and at most I will give less than ten cents. However, don't look at the matter of just a few copper plates every time, this may not be a big deal in the eyes of the rich, but in the eyes of these little people who are tightening their belts and worrying about some needles and threads, it is a big deal! Although he Zhao Yongzhong doesn't want to get the slightest bit of earning more or less, it can be said that he has nothing to do with him, the person who receives the salary, but he is willing to promise his mother but refuses to agree! Just for this matter, he was scolded by Zhao Qiao's every time he handed over his wages, and even took Jiang and his children to eat a lot. To be honest, he is not uncomplaining about Liang Ji.
But in this day and age, finding a job is extremely difficult, even if you have a lot of energy. It's not like you can sell it if you want to. Even if you find a job to do, when it comes time to settle the salary, the owner may not give cash, and may give away some old millet or something.
And Liang Ji always gives priority to the villagers of Zhaojia Village because of the Liang family. Provide them with a relatively stable part-time job. What's more, although Liang Ji is a little harsh, he can achieve daily wages, which alone is commendable in this environment.
Therefore, although Zhao Yongzhong was a little dissatisfied, like most of the villagers who worked for Liang Ji, he was more grateful to Liang Ji in his heart. He sincerely wants to repay Liang Ji. I want to do my best to promote the cooperation between the two companies.
So Zhao Yongzhong then defended Liang Yan: "Maybe this idea was not Liang Gongzi's idea?" Maybe ......"
Zhao Siniang said quickly: "Even if this bad idea was not made by him, but without his nod, it is impossible for Liang Ji to deduct wages for no reason, right?" Seeing that Zhao Yongzhong's face was getting darker and darker, Zhao Siniang said softly: "I also know that there are many shops in the town, and they treat short-term workers far less well than Liang Ji." In fact, I didn't mean to accuse Liang Gongzi of this matter today......"
"Then you still ......," Zhao Yongzhong muttered quietly.
"Dad, I don't know that you have always been grateful to Liang Ji, and I will not object to you to repay the favor. It's just that if you want to repay the favor, we can take some of the food produced by our Zhao family shop and send it to Liang Gongzi like giving back to Shopkeeper Wang. "Speaking of which. Zhao Siniang said with a straight face: "But human favor is human favor, business is business, those are two different things, and they can't be mixed up." Liang Gongzi may be a good owner, but he may not be a good partner. If I hadn't met Su Ji, maybe I would have agreed to cooperate with Liang Ji just now. But who made me meet Su Ji, who did a better job? Not to mention anything else, just looking at how Su Ji treats his guys, it makes people feel that Su Ji is more benevolent and reliable, and Liang Ji ...... It's not enough to see. ”
Having said that, you can carefully observe Zhao Yongzhong's expression. It can be seen that he is still not completely moved by Zhao Siniang's words. So Zhao Siniang had to take a fierce medicine and said: "Before the change, our family made more money and less money, and even if we were deceived by others, it didn't matter much." But now we don't say it's okay, right? If you want to make money as soon as possible to rescue the eldest sister, then choosing a partner is crucial. You have to be cautious......"
As soon as Zhao Erniang was mentioned, the high-spirited Zhao Yongzhong woke up suddenly, and without waiting for Zhao Siniang to finish speaking, he hurriedly said: "It's my father who didn't think well enough and almost delayed the family's business." You are still good at doing business, Siniang, you can do what you say, I don't mess with ideas anymore. ”
Zhao Siniang showed a triumphant smile in her heart. However, on her face, she still kept her face silent, and only heard her ask seriously: "What about Zhao Chenglan, who harmed the eldest sister's life?" Dad, are you still going to rush to save her? ”
It is undeniable that "Zhao Erniang" is very useful in Zhao Siniang's house, especially in front of Zhao Yongzhong, but whenever it comes to words about her, Zhao Yongzhong will surrender unconditionally. But the reason why "Zhao Erniang" is so effective is because there is an indescribable sadness hidden behind this name - even Zhao Siniang, a latecomer, is unwilling to mention the sadness easily. Therefore, she really didn't want to say too much about this eldest sister she had never met.
However, Zhao Yongzhong is really too angry! People are "healed scars and forget the pain", his scars are still bleeding, but he always endures the pain and continues to beg for beating. treats such a person who is so badly beaten, Zhao Siniang doesn't mind poking his scar and making him have a longer memory.
Zhao Yongzhong's face turned pale, and he seemed to remember something, only to see him shake his head violently and say, "No, no...... Alas, I'm so sorry for your eldest sister! ”
After the confession, Zhao Yongzhong, who was in a mood, whipped the mule twice, and the mule, which had been walking around, was finally willing to take a step forward.
The South Street where Zhao Siniang's shop is located is not far from Qingfeng Building, and it didn't take long for them to come to the most prosperous street in Changle Town. Before the mule cart could stop, the sharp-eyed Zhao Yuanniang found Zhao Yongxiao in the bustling crowd.
After Zhao Yuanniang's finger, Zhao Yongzhong's father and daughter also saw Zhao Yongxiao's back. I saw Zhao Yongxiao walking slowly along the South Street, stopping after two steps, turning back slightly, and then turning his back to the pavement and walking forward.
Zhao Yongzhong, who knew his younger brother better, knew that he must be in some big trouble when he saw Zhao Yongxiao's appearance, and he wanted to come to his brother for help but was embarrassed to speak, so he wandered here.
So Zhao Yongzhong jumped off the mule cart and hurriedly went to stop Zhao Yongxiao.
Ask when you enter the house. As expected, Zhao Yongxiao did ask Zhao Siniang's family this time - he wanted to borrow money.
It is said that yesterday, when Zhao Yongxiao was still working part-time in the town, some enthusiastic people came to tell him that something big happened to his family. As soon as he heard about it. Immediately put down the work in hand and rushed back. It's just that he didn't have a means of transportation, but he still didn't catch up with those big plays, and when he returned to Lao Zhao's house, everyone had already dispersed.
However, he still learned the whole story through Zhao Yongfang. I can't help but feel ashamed and painful. It didn't take long for the old Zhao family to make trouble again because of Zhao Chenglan. It's not easy to stop, he's already physically and mentally exhausted. However, he was exhausted but did not close his eyes all night, and finally survived until dawn, he has always been filial to disobey the order of the old man Zhao for the first time, and did not go to the old man Zhao to catch the car, but went to Gaodian Village. But when others ran there, they couldn't muster up the courage to knock on Li's door, so they kept wandering in the west of Gaodian Village. It wasn't until noon that he was discovered by someone who knew him and dragged him to Li's house.
Arrived at Li's house. The Li family didn't beat or scold him, and still greeted him as usual, which made him even more ashamed.
During his time in the Li family, he accidentally learned that the second girl Li had injured her roots, but she was unwilling to spend money on medicine.
Yesterday, the Li family received a compensation of ten taels of silver from the old Zhao family, which is definitely not a small amount in ordinary villagers, enough for the Li family to live well for a year. However, under normal circumstances, the Li family is different from other families, and there is an old lady who takes medicine all year round, in order to treat the elderly. The family has sold more than half of the few fields in the first place, and even borrowed some foreign debts, and the future medicine money is even more bottomless. In this predicament, of course, Second Miss Li was unwilling to spend money on medicine. Even the rest of the Li family after thinking about it a few times, although they still insisted on giving Li Er Girl medicine, they only followed the prescription prescribed by Tulangzhong, grabbed a few cheap medicines and used them.
The Li family chose to compromise, but Zhao Yongxiao couldn't accept it, he really wanted to hire a good doctor for the second girl Li. to make up for the debt that the old Zhao family owed her yesterday.
At this point, Zhao Yongzhong waved his hand to signal that his younger brother didn't need to say any more, he immediately stood up, and was about to take Zhao Yongxiao to Jishengtang to ask Dr. Shen for a consultation.
In fact, the benevolent Zhao Yongzhong has been feeling deep self-reproach for the sins done by his mother and his sister. As early as this morning, Zhao Yongzhong asked the Yang family and the Jiang family to go to the Li family to visit the patient with some supplements.
Generally speaking, there will always be one or two Tulang in each village, and they can't cure major diseases, but it's not a problem to look at minor diseases. But Jiangjiatan is really a poor mess, and he lives in Langzhong - there is no such thing, and even the rattle Langzhong who walks the streets and alleys is reluctant to come. It is conceivable that there is no stable woman who is specifically responsible for delivering mothers. If anyone in the village is going to have a child, they will not go to other villages or towns to find a stable woman, so they invite an experienced old woman from the same village to make a cameo, and the Yang family is often invited to deliver babies.
Therefore, although Yang Shi's expression was colder than frost when she saw Zhao Yongzhong in the past two days, Zhao Yongzhong thought that his mother-in-law was also experienced in gynecology, so he still begged her to go with Jiang.
The Yang family really lived up to Zhao Yongzhong's hopes, and after arriving at the Li family, he taught the Li family a lot of local methods of confinement. However, Yang Shiguang paid attention to Li Ermei herself, and Jiang's observation power was not good, so he failed to find out that the Li family was worried about the medicine money.
Although Zhao Siniang has nothing to do and likes to make some small calculations, she will not object to such a life-threatening matter as curing diseases and saving people. It's just that Zhao Siniang, who is particularly understanding today, opened her mouth to persuade again: "Dad, please doctor, you can go alone, can you dispatch two big men for this little thing?" You just let the fourth uncle sit and drink tea! He's tired from the day. ”
Zhao Yongzhong thought about it, yes, his younger brother is running Gaodian Village and Changle Town, which are dozens of miles away, so he should be allowed to rest. So he pressed Zhao Yongxiao on the chair and hurriedly walked out.
Zhao Siniang specially opened her mouth to leave Zhao Yongxiao behind, of course, she didn't really want to keep him for tea, in fact, she wanted to find out about the enemy.
Zhao Yongxiao, who has no long things, wants to borrow money, and it is not unusual for her family to think of her first. But he didn't go to Jiangjiatan, but went directly to the shop in the town, which is strange. Thinking of the old man Zhao wanting to blackmail six hundred taels as soon as he opened his mouth, Zhao Siniang suddenly had a bad premonition. (To be continued.) )
