Chapter 238: Fooling Everyone
Soon, I heard that Su Wu had made a fortune and came back, and the rest of Su Wu's family came to see the excitement, the Su family's family was not very cohesive, after all, there had been two or three generations of estrangement.
There are more and more people around, there are more than two hundred, and most of them come to see the excitement, that's because it is difficult for the people of this generation to find a rich man, everyone is living a bitter life, what Su Wu brought back, he knew that he had made a fortune outside, and he didn't need to be rich if a person was rich, as long as he lived better than most people and was more decent, Su Wu was undoubtedly like this.
Su Wu was in the middle of a group of neighbors, like standing out from the crowd, shining in the crowd.
With so many people gathered at home, Little Brother Su and Little Sister Su were undoubtedly the happiest, everyone envied the eldest brother, giving them face among the children.
With so many people coming, there is no way to keep a low profile, and to persuade everyone to follow Zhangjiacheng, who will believe him without any practical persuasion, just empty talk, not many people will follow him.
Su Wu: "When I came back this time, the neighbors came to care about me, and I invited everyone to have lunch at noon, and I hope that the neighbors will give me face." ”
Su Wu said loudly, "Dad, there are five taels of silver here, you go to the town to buy two fat pigs, buy wine and come back." ”
Everyone heard that Su Wu invited everyone to eat, and they were already in a good mood, and then they heard that they were going to buy two fat pigs, their throats surged, and they almost drooled.
Su Wu was ready to have silver, because he knew that except for Zhangjiacheng, silver coins were not easy to use in other places, and they were not as good as silver, of course, silver in Zhangjiacheng was a different situation.
The fat pig was bought, and soon there were already large pieces of fat meat in the bowls of the neighbors, plus the rice brought back by Su Wu, which made everyone happy. Everyone is happy to eat, and their senses for Su Wu are even better, this Su family is going to live a good life in the future, I don't know if I can follow it, not to mention eating meat every day, eating one such meal a month, I am already satisfied.
It's a pity that when Su Wu left with his family soon, there would be no such a good meal in the future, everyone gathered around Su Wu's house to eat a big bowl of meat, drinking soup made of bones, and it would be difficult to eat such a meal again in the future, after all, everyone didn't have much money at home, and after paying the official taxes after the harvest of fishing in one day, as well as the so-called protection fee of the local bullies, the copper coins that could be earned in a day were only more than ten.
Su Wu has lived here for more than ten years, and he knows the situation in his hometown very well, the money earned by the people working here for a month is not as good as the people of Zhangjiacheng working for a day, and there are too many different pay differences for the same work, why is there such a thing, because Chen Zijian gave up the war dividends, and the people here in his hometown do not have such good things.
As the host of the treat, Su Wu sat in the middle of everyone and ate a bowl of meat and bones, someone originally wanted to give Su Wu the fattest pork, because fat meat has the most oil and water, and fat meat in this era is much more expensive than meat and bones, Su Wu doesn't care about this bit of oil and water, he hasn't eaten anything in Zhangjiacheng, but has eaten meat and bones that everyone doesn't want to eat.
When everyone had eaten about the same, Su Wu stood up and said to the neighbors who had eaten about the same, "Listen to me!" ”
Su Wu, as the host of the banquet, uh, the moneymaker, knew that he was making a fortune outside, such a character was already much higher than the people who made a living from fishing, in a group of people who could not earn 100 yuan a month, Su Wu could take out the silver to buy two fat pigs and invite everyone to eat, which is more important than not.
Su Wu spoke, and most of the people put down the bowl on their lips and looked at what he was going to do.
"Fathers and fellow villagers, you watched me grow up, know that I can't lie, this time I came back to my hometown, in order to pick up my father, mother and siblings to leave, in the past Zhangjiacheng to enjoy the blessings, I bought a new brick house in Zhangjiacheng, a brick house much larger than this thatched house."
Saying that, pointing to his own dilapidated grass house, he didn't feel anything after listening to Su Wu's naked show-off, and the little kid who was still eating meat with his head bored didn't feel anything, eating meat in front of him was much better than listening to Brother Su, and it was too late to eat meat, so it didn't matter what he said, but those adults were different, and their eyes were full of envy and jealousy.
Daddy Su's life is really good, the ancestral tomb is smoking, otherwise how would Su Wu live in a brick house! You must know that the brick house is only a place where the rich people in the city or the landlord can live, Su Wu made a difference at a young age, and then look at his life over the years, there is no change in living in a dilapidated grass house, and the days have passed to the dog, and many villagers have pimples in their hearts, and they have no other meaning, and they are still uncomfortable when they see others getting rich.
The mood of the neighbors is understandable, not to mention the current situation of Su Wu, even if the Chinese people of later generations see that their neighbors are rich and want to move to a luxury villa to live, and they still live in a small building, that person is not unhappy.
Su Wu continued to stimulate everyone: "I have five taels of silver a month in Zhangjiacheng, and I usually eat and drink for free, and I have big fish and meat every day." If you see if I'm fat for nothing, you will know how good I eat! ”
Su Wu stood out from the crowd among a group of ragged fishermen, and it was not an exaggeration to stand out from the crowd with those who ate two porridges a day and three full meals a day.
Su Boy, what do you mean, I know that you are a good mixer, and it is great to show off here!" ”
The clan is a distant relative of Su Wu, a few generations ago, it was still a family, and there was some prestige in the vicinity, Su Wu invited everyone to eat and naturally came over, but he couldn't stand it when he saw Su Wu here, you can do it, you are powerful, we are all hillbillies, it's useless! Seeing Su Lao talking, the others looked at it with complicated eyes.
Father Su hurriedly stepped forward to apologize, "The old man of the clan is angry, Da Lang doesn't mean this!" ”
"And what does he mean?" Su Lao stuck his crutches on the ground, this kid looked at the grown-up, went out and came back to make a fortune, but seeing that he had changed as a person, it was great to show off his wealth in front of a group of poor relatives!
Su Wu came over and carefully apologized, "Old Su, listen to me first, I'm not showing off anything to everyone." ”
Then said loudly, "I said Zhangjiacheng so well, this time I came back in addition to taking my father and mother away, that villager wants to eat meat every day in the future, three full meals a day, you can follow me over, I was a petty official in Zhangjiacheng, you can also take care of everyone, and all your uncles are fishing experts, and you can earn at least three taels of silver in the past month." Su Lao, you have been suffering in the village for most of your life, how about following us this time! The rich and noble dare not guarantee that there will be no problem with three full meals a day in the future. ”
Except for Daddy Su, the people around him suddenly exploded when they heard this, they can leave here with Su Wu, and they can earn silver and eat a full meal in the future, their ears are not wrong, right? Everyone looked at Su Wu suspiciously, and their eyes were a little uneasy with anticipation. Looking forward to it, of course, is looking forward to the good days that Su Wu just said, uneasiness is to live here for decades, and follow Su Wu to leave the heart of uneasiness, or that it is difficult to leave the homeland, but there is really the kind of good life that Su Wu said, it is not a problem to leave the homeland, everyone is contradictory and looks at each other, all this is too sudden for them.
Just now I was envious and jealous of Su Wu for taking my father and mother away, and now Su Wu said that he could take them, is this a pie falling from the sky, or a stone falling from the sky.
Old Su's mouth opened wide for a while, and he asked in disbelief, "Su boy, you didn't lie to me, it's really so good." Dare to lie to Lao Tzu and draw you from the family tree in the future! ”
Su Wu shouted, "How dare Su Lao lie to you, it's all true, I took my father and mother over, what's the benefit of deceiving everyone, it's not that Zhangjiacheng has a good life before everyone brought it over, if I lie to everyone, I will admit it when the time comes." ”
Old man Su is old and refined, and it is easy to see that Su Wu has no malicious intent, "Okay, I'll go and see what you said so beautifully, anyway, the old man is old, and I'm not afraid of you hairy boy." "Although what he said is not good, but he helped Su Wu open an opening, Su Lao is not afraid of his age, and the others are not good to get there, they are all a group of poor ghosts, what good is it for Su Wu to deceive them, and they can blow up the bones from the poor ghosts, if you really do this, Su Wu's family will be scolded to death by the neighbors in the future!
"Brother Su, I'll go with you, I'll be content with half of what you said."
A man with patches in clothes came out, his skin was dark, and his cheekbones were prominent, this was formed by long-term hunger, and when he heard that Su Wu could take everyone to live a good life, he couldn't wait to cry out in his heart, could he give up such a good opportunity, just as Su Lao thought, his family was poor and there were dozens of copper plates left, Su Wu wanted to deceive them and they didn't have any oil and water, this was a rare opportunity to change in the future, and he wouldn't let go if he grabbed it.
Su Wu looked at it carefully, and was a little stunned, this is Su Niu, the partner he has played with since childhood, but he has changed a lot, and he almost can't recognize it.
With someone taking the lead, people who were determined immediately came over, hoping that Su Wu would take one of them.
Su Wu: "I'll leave tomorrow, and everyone who wants to live a good life will come and leave together when the time comes." ”
After saying the conditions and being willing to follow, Su Wu didn't mind taking them out of here, and if he didn't want Su Wu, he wouldn't have an opinion.
After everyone was full, they went back to digest what Su Wu said, and discussed whether to leave with them.
Su Lao looked at the few people around, "Boy, make the situation clear, the purpose of you taking the villagers away." ”
Su Lao helped Su Wu, but he didn't want to be in the dark, so he asked Su Wu to explain things clearly.
Su Wu smiled and said, "Su Lao Yingming, in fact, if I bring a villager over, I will have one or two pieces of silver, and the more people, the more silver." ”
Su Lao's forehead wrinkled, and he was angry, isn't this a tooth, what are you doing with the villagers! Cattle!
Su Wu saw that the old man's face was wrong, and hurriedly opened his mouth to explain, and explained the front and back of Zhangjiacheng to Su Lao!
After a long time, Su Lao said, "So what kind of chief defeated tens of thousands of people in the official mansion, and he wants to be the king of the local area!" ”
Su Wu: "Old Su, I don't care what the chief's purpose is, but in just two months with him, I have lived such a good life, and I will follow the chief whatever he does." ”
Old man Su has never heard of such a person, gathered more than 100,000 people in a short period of time, and defeated the army of the government, many people there were arrested, but few people made trouble, what kind of person is this!
Su Lao: "Boy, I hope you don't lie to me, the old man is about to fall to the ground, go over and see the world." ”
From Su Wu's mouth, I know that everyone in Zhangjiacheng has clothes to wear and everyone to eat, it is really so good! What does it look like for everyone to live in a brick house? Su Lao is already full of yearning there, people live a lifetime, in order to live a good life, but it is a pity that Su Lao has lived for so long, and few ordinary people can eat enough.
