Chapter 44: Working for Bangs
Hearing this, the expression on Zhang Laoer's face froze, and he shook his head dejectedly, and his shoulders twitched slightly.
In the past few days, he has used up all the savings of several years, and now he has run out of ammunition and food, and there is almost nothing.
Just for this, his wife didn't quarrel with him less, but the business was too good a few days ago, which also gave him courage, so even though his wife objected, he also insisted on doing it.
"Even so, you're still going to fight me?"
Liu Hai looked at him with a little doubt, to be honest, he didn't know what Zhang Lao Er thought until now.
Zhang Lao Er raised his head and glanced at his bangs indifferently.
"Who thought of fighting you? If it weren't for the fact that the steamed cakes really couldn't be sold, and I couldn't make ends meet these days, I would have to toss you? It's good now, this steamed cake can't be sold and no one buys it, and I can't live anymore, what am I fighting with you? ”
Liu Hai looked at him carefully, and saw that Zhang Laoer's expression did not seem to be fake, and the smile on his face slowly faded.
"Even if you don't fight with me now, your hair cakes and steamed cakes still won't sell, so what are you going to do?"
Zhang Lao Er glanced at Liu Hai vigilantly, as if he was thinking about what his motive for asking this sentence was, and then he shook his head dejectedly, with a wry smile on his face.
"Forget it, I don't have anything you covet right now, do I? I guess I have to find a way to make a living again, I always have to support my mother and children, and in less than two years, my children will have to marry a wife, and now I don't know what to do, are you satisfied? ”
Bangs sighed slightly, smiled and shook his head.
He looked at Zhang Lao Er deeply, with a hint of smile in his eyes, and a little helplessness.
"You also know that the world is difficult, why did you do this to me in the first place? Sell me the steamed cakes that have gone rancid, and refuse to admit it. ”
"I just want to sell it, where can I think of so much? Even if it is not sold to you, it will be sold to others. ”
Zhang Lao Er sighed, he squatted on the ground a little decadently, looking ahead with empty eyes, full of despair.
"The main thing is that this day is not good, if it is better, why should I sell the steamed cakes that have been rancid to others, the grain is very valuable these years, even if the steamed cakes are rancid, they can still be eaten. You threw the steamed cakes on the ground that day, and I was so distressed. ”
Bangs stared at him, sighed silently and didn't speak again.
Seeing the two of them squatting there, Xiaobei's eyes flickered slightly, and he walked directly towards his bangs.
"Big brother, the mutton steamed buns have almost been sold, we might as well go back quickly, so we can prepare for tomorrow."
Bangs nodded, patted him from his body, and stood up.
He turned his head to look at Zhang Lao'er, and although he was slightly hesitant, he still said with a smile.
"I said this bet, I probably won't come over to this West Market in the future, so you can do business in peace."
Zhang Lao Er raised his head suddenly, a trace of surprise flashed on his face, he looked at Liu Hai in disbelief, as if he didn't quite believe that what he said was true, but when he saw Liu Hai's disapproving expression, he quickly stood up.
"No, I can't actually do business here anyway. You made a big enough fuss that time, and many people know that I sell rancid steamed cakes here, and my business itself can't go on, so I don't need to leave them blank anymore. If you want to go, it should be me who goes, I'm really sorry for you that day, but later I didn't apologize for the sake of face. But today, you probably don't care about this sentence, do you? ”
Liu Hai looked at Zhang Lao Er with some puzzlement, but he didn't expect that his change would be so big, not at all like him before.
It seemed much calmer, and it seemed like he was completely disillusioned with doing business, which made him open his mouth, not knowing what to say, and finally just smiled.
"Actually, it really doesn't matter much to me whether you apologize or not. But since you don't plan to do business anymore, what are you going to do? Go home and farm? ”
Zhang Lao Er nodded dejectedly, he reluctantly raised his head to look at his bangs, and his smile was full of bitterness.
"I don't have anything else to do right now but farming. I probably won't come back to Xishi in the future, and I won't see you again, which makes me a lot happier. ”
Bangs smiled dumbly and shook his head helplessly.
He glanced at Zhang Lao Er deeply and showed a smile.
Enemies are easy to solve and difficult to settle, and now except for Lin Dachun, he really doesn't have anyone who is particularly disgusted. What's more, all he is thinking about now is to get Ayu back, and he doesn't pay much attention to these little things, which can be regarded as a kind of growth.
"Then I'm afraid you won't be able to get your wish, I want to ask you to help me now, after all, I have to deliver the goods to Zheng Erlangjun later, we are really busy, if you are willing to go to work with me, I can pay you for the work."
What's more, Zhang Laoer's skills are not bad, if he can work together, it can also help a lot.
After Zhang Lao Er heard Liu Hai's words, his eyes widened in disbelief, he didn't dare to imagine that Liu Hai was like a different person at this time, instead of stepping on himself, he also repaid his grievances with virtue and was willing to recruit himself to work.
Xiaobei stared at the bangs, frowning slightly, she couldn't guess what the bangs were thinking now, she had no clue at all.
Liu Hai saw that Zhang Lao Er seemed to be stunned, and couldn't help but smile and shake his head.
"I promise not to play you a joke, but if you really agree, you will come to my house tomorrow morning to find me. If you don't agree, that's okay. You might as well go back and discuss with your lady to see how to choose. ”
Zhang Lao Er swallowed his saliva, he turned his head and quietly glanced at Xiaobei, and saw that she looked at her bangs inexplicably, obviously not negotiated, and couldn't help but be excited.
Seeing that the business is no longer able to do well, last year just coincided with a major drought, and I don't know what the situation will be this year. If you can get a job, you can also reduce the pressure at home.
What's more, he knows about bangs, and he has made a lot of money these days. Coupled with the cooperation with Zheng Erlangjun, he will only live better in the future, and the starting money can be opened, which he is not worried about.
Now that there is an opportunity to make money, even if it is a part-time job for bangs, although it is a little awkward, it is not that it cannot be accepted.
Thinking of this, Zhang Lao Er nodded busily, indicating that he had agreed to this matter.
