Chapter 5: Shameless

Finally got his slingshot back, but Chen Zheng still had a lot of questions to ask.

Fortunately, in this Wei Dayong, in addition to not admitting that he is a bandit, other questions must be answered.

"Second brother, where do you say your village owner has taken a fancy to me? Why do you want to marry me? Chen Zheng asked.

This is where he is most confused, Yue Xiaorong, as the owner of Hongsong Village, wants to have an industry and have subordinates, so what is she trying to do with herself?

Is it just because he is good-looking and greedy for his body?

So why not have a round room with yourself?

Seeing Chen Zheng's confused face, Wei Dayong said very seriously: "The reason why the owner of the village likes you is quite simple, because your parents are dead, and you have nothing to worry about. ”

Chen Zheng was stunned, what kind of reason is this, if you choose the prime minister according to this, then the people who meet the standards can go from Hongsongzhai to the county seat.

It seems that the reason is more reliable because of his good looks.

After about a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the red pine forest.

"Brother, work hard, cut more red pines, sell them at a good price, and exchange them for wine and meat!" Wei Dayong began to beckon.

As a qualified carpenter, Chen Zheng is still sensitive to wood, looking at the red pines, it is like seeing a beautiful woman, a pair of hands on the pine wood constantly caressing.

"Good mahogany, really good mahogany!" Chen Zheng muttered to himself.

Everyone else had already begun to cut down the trees, but Chen Zheng was the only one walking around the forest, touching and looking, shaking his head and nodding his head, looking very idle.

However, everyone knows that he is the father-in-law of the owner of the village, and it would be good to be able to come to the forest to accompany them to cut down trees, how can he be asked to do it himself.

"Down the hill!"

Wei Dayong's voice shouted, startling Chen Zheng, and when he looked back, he happened to see a red pine being cut down.

Chen Zheng hurriedly walked over and counted the annual rings of the red pine, and couldn't help but be surprised, this is a red pine tree that is more than ten years old, can it be sold for a lot of money, right?

Slowly approaching Wei Dayong's side, Chen Zheng asked, "Second brother, how much can this red pine tree be sold for?" ”

"This one, it can be sold for five or six taels of silver, the big guys work hard, this day is dozens of taels, and they can be exchanged for a lot of wine, meat, rice and noodles." Wei Dayong introduced Chen Zheng.

Hearing this, Chen Zheng felt distressed, really distressed!

This good mahogany only sells for five or six taels of silver? The guy who collects the wood is so dark!

If this is made into all kinds of furniture, the price can be increased several times!

Seeing Wei Dayong and them busy pruning miscellaneous branches, Chen Zheng couldn't help shaking his head, in his eyes, those people have changed from hard-working and simple laborers to losers who don't know how to be noble or cheap.

Yue Xiaorong is the owner of Hongsong Village, he is the owner of the village, these people are ruined, they are ruined by his property, can they not feel distressed?

However, then again, with Chen Zheng's current skills, it is okay to make some simple tables, chairs and benches, and he can't make some high-grade furniture, and these mahogany are also a waste in his hands.

Saddening the cheap sale of mahogany, angry that his skills were not perfect, Chen Zheng spent a day in a tangle.

Seeing more than a dozen rosewood loaded into the car, Chen Zheng was even more distressed, if he sold one more, he would lose one more money!

After returning to his and Yue Xiaorong's house, Chen Zheng looked depressed.

Soon, Yue Xiaorong came back from outside, and immediately saw that something was wrong with Chen Zheng, so she asked, "What's wrong with you?" Tired of cutting trees? ”

Chen Zheng shook his head and didn't answer, but his frustration couldn't hide it.

Yue Xiaorong sat opposite him, smiled slightly, and coaxed: "What about you now, it's my father-in-law, tell me if you have any questions, is someone bullying you outside?" ”

Glancing at Yue Xiaorong, Chen Zheng seemed to have regained some of his spirit, and said, "Our red pine wood is sold too cheaply, it's a loss!" ”

Hearing this, Yue Xiaorong was happy and said with a smile: "It's because of this, I thought there were people in the village who couldn't get along with you." ”

"Isn't that a big deal?" Chen Zheng asked rhetorically.

"As long as you have enough money, it's useless to earn too much." Yue Xiaorong said.

Chen Zheng rolled his eyes, and said that if a woman is too big in a certain part, she will be very brainless, and today he finally let him confirm it.

As a carpenter, he would never watch those fine rosewoods sold at such a low price, which was an insult to rosewood!

"I have a reluctant request, I don't know if I can mention it." Chen Zhengdao.

Yue Xiaorong nodded and said, "Just mention it, as long as I can do it, I will satisfy you." ”

Chen Zheng's eyes lit up, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "I don't want to give up my carpentry skills, can you let me go back and bring back my tools." ”

Yue Xiaorong stared at Chen Zheng for a long time, the corners of her mouth raised, and said, "You want to take the opportunity to slip away." ”

"I'm not, I'm not, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Zheng directly denied it.

"Don't worry, I'll send someone to fetch it for you tomorrow, you can do whatever you want, anyway, we don't have anything else, just a lot of wood." After Yue Xiaorong finished speaking, she turned around and went to the hut again.

Chen Zheng didn't have a chance to refute at all, so he had to lie on the creaky bed and go to bed first.

When she got up the next day, Yue Xiaorong had already left, but there was food left on the table.

After breakfast, he walked out of the house, he didn't have to go into the mountains to cut wood today, and Yue Xiaorong didn't have anything else to explain, so Chen Zheng chose to bask in the sun.

It didn't take long for Chen Zheng to see Wei Dayong coming over with a big burden.

Wei Dayong brought the burden to Chen Zheng and said, "Your tools are all in it, see for yourself, is there anything missing?" ”

Chen Zheng opened the baggage to check, and there were saws, chisels, planers, rulers, and ink lines inside, which were basically quite complete, and there was nothing missing.

Immediately, Chen Zheng thought of something and said, "You still don't admit that you didn't take me here captively?" If not, how do you know where I live? How did you get it? ”

Wei Dayong was stunned, and after staring at Chen Zheng for a moment, he suddenly grinned: "I didn't pick it up, I picked it up at the gate of the village." ”

When he said this, his face was not red or panting, he was right, and it was a matter of course, so that Chen Zhengdu was speechless for a while.

"If it's okay, I'll go first, no thanks!" Wei Dayong turned and left.

Looking at Wei Dayong's back, Chen Zheng finally reacted, and couldn't help scolding: "Second brother, you are so thick-skinned and shameless!" ”

Wei Dayong, who had just walked a few steps, paused, and then his steps seemed to be faster, and in a few breaths, he disappeared.
