The ancient locust tree, which has never rejected Guo Mianmian's request, rarely rejected her request this time. After learning the reason for the rejection, Guo Mianmian really wanted to kneel down with the ancient locust tree.

The ancient locust tree also learned badly, and it was embarrassed to ask Guo Mianmian for benefits in collusion with the big tree, and he didn't help if he didn't allow it. It wasn't until Guo Mianmian assured Gu Huai that when the spring flowers were blooming, he took Tang Yuan'er to visit Fang's house together, and it agreed to track down the abnormal murderer for her.

The ancient locust tree was happy to help, and Guo Mianmian was more relieved, and he waited patiently for news in the next few days.

On this day, Guo Mianmian took advantage of the fact that Tang Yuan'er was asleep, so he took out the money he had saved since selling tiger head shoes at home. She didn't move the hundreds of taels of silver left for the house, but only took out the silver tickets stored in the box and counted them.

In the past six months, the business of tiger head shoes has been getting better and better month by month, until the number of shoes has reached a new peak this month, and 30,000 pairs have been pulled away. According to the profit of 20 wen per pair, this month alone will make a net profit of 600 taels of silver.

Coupled with the money saved in the past few months, all the silver added up to almost two thousand taels, not counting the silver that Guo Mianmian married.

With so much silver in place, Guo Mianmian figured out what to do with it to make some good money. It's not like the old world, there are thousands of channels for cost investment, and now it's impossible, except to buy a shop or house in the city, only to buy land is very cheap.

It's not bad to start a small business or something by yourself, and Guo Mianmian still wanted to open a dim sum shop at the beginning. Now that she has Tangyuaner, the child's father goes out from time to time, and it will be a few months and a half a year when she leaves, she is worried that she can't take care of both ends of the shop, so she temporarily stopped this idea, hoping to wait for Tangyuaner to talk about it when she is older.

After putting the silver in the box and putting the box back in its place, Guo Mianmian went to the front yard to wash his hands. As soon as she finished washing, the third aunt broke in, grabbed her arm and dragged the person out: "Mianmian, something is wrong, hurry, come with your aunt." ”

Guo Mianmian didn't react for a while, she was pulled by the third aunt and trotted a few steps, and when she came back to her senses, she quickly stood firm, but took the third aunt's hand and said helplessly: "Auntie, no matter how urgent it is, you can let me go and tell my mother!" ”

Tang Yuan'er slept alone in the house, no one was watching by the bed, what if she kicked over the quilt and caught a cold!

Thinking of this, the third aunt couldn't help but smile wryly, and urged: "Then you go quickly, the aunt is waiting for you here." ”

Guo Mianmian nodded, went back to the house and said a word to Meng's family, and then walked out with the third aunt. On the way, Guo Mianmian asked: "Third aunt, is there something wrong with our shoes?" ”

It's okay not to mention it, but when the third aunt mentioned it, her expression changed, and she looked at Guo Mianmian and said, "Mianmian, my aunt said that you don't get angry!" ”

When Guo Mianmian heard this, he knew it in his heart, and said with a smile: "Third aunt, let's say it, it's not a big deal if the shoes that are not to be handed in next month are burned." ”

The third aunt's heart calmed down a little, and she told the reason why she hurriedly came to Guo Mianmian this time.

The two new tiger head shoes sold very well in the market, so from this month, the Zhang family slightly reduced the number of the first tiger head shoes and asked Guo Mianmian to make more new ones. So during this time, the shoemakers who can make new shoes ask the rest of the people to make new shoes.

It's not a big deal, and the shoemaker who can make new shoes should teach the rest of the people, but in this way, the speed of making shoes slows down. Worried that the number of next month would not be available, the third aunt recruited another group of newcomers, and these newcomers specialized in learning to make new tiger head shoes.

What people didn't expect was that there was actually an "agent" mixed in this group of newcomers, and this "agent" was found by the leader of a county town specializing in imitation tiger head shoes business, so the purpose was to make the new tiger head shoes at a very fast rate and get a piece of the pie under the nose of the Zhang family.

The leader's abacus is very good, he knows that his family is thin, and he has no background to compete for a big business, so he doesn't dare to pay too much attention to the Zhang family to put the new shoes on the market one step ahead of the Zhang family, so as not to provoke the attention of the Zhang family.

Therefore, he only hopes to launch a new tiger head shoe a little later than the Zhang family, quietly grab part of the Zhang family's business, and hope to use this method to always imitate Zheng's very new shoes.

The idea is good, and if you go well, you can earn a lot of money. It's just that the "agent" who was sent inadvertently revealed a flaw and made the villagers aware of it, and the person immediately reported the matter to the third aunt.

The third aunt didn't dare to be sloppy, secretly investigated for a few days, and finally confirmed that the "agent" had pulled the person who taught her to make new shoes into the water, this person was not an outsider, but also a wife of the Zheng family, which made her impossible.

After thinking about it, the third aunt decided to kill the chicken and the monkey, and today she told this part-time job in front of everyone, to drive away the wife who was greedy for money, not to allow her to make tiger head shoes anymore, and to hand over the greedy silver as compensation.

The wife who did such a thing coveted the silver, and now not only did she spit it out, but she was also robbed of her qualifications to make shoes, and she would never be richly paid again. How can you be willing to leave honestly?

She cried and made trouble in front of everyone, and called all the people in her mother-in-law's family, scolded the third aunt for being ruthless and unkind, and abducted Guo Mianmian as well.

The third aunt was so angry with her that her chest hurt, and after the wife scolded her for being just an old dog under Guo Mianmian's subordinates, and she didn't have the qualifications to drive her away, she couldn't help but run to find Guo Mianmian.

Listening to the whole part-time song, Guo Mianmian's eyes turned cold, and when the third aunt looked over, she regained her calmness, and her expression was a little guilty: "Third aunt, I made you wronged!" You didn't do anything wrong in this matter, and if there will be similar part-time jobs in the future, you can do it with peace of mind, regardless of what others say. ”

"Mianmian, it's none of your business." The third aunt waved her hand and couldn't help wiping the old tears from the corners of her eyes: "Mianmian, I'm not afraid of your jokes, my aunt has lived to this age, or the first time she has been pointed at and scolded by a junior 'old dog', according to her past personality, she has already broken her mouth." ”

She is self-aware, and she knows that Guo Mianmian is for the sake of the two families, so that she is in charge of such a large group of people. She can receive an extra remuneration every month, and some people have already been red-eyed, and there are many people who are secretly unconvinced.

This time she was pointed at her nose and scolded, but few people stood up to speak for her, but I was afraid that she would be angry and provoke herself to do it.

"Third aunt, this matter depends on me, I was sloppy and should have set the terms and conditions a long time ago, so that you can do it politely, and no one can say a 'no'." Guo Mianmian felt more and more guilty in her heart, and quietly decided to set the rules as soon as possible, so as not to happen similar things in the future.

She hadn't thought of this stubble before, and she thought that most of the people involved in making shoes were from the Zheng family, so she didn't do it because she was worried that the people would feel bad, but now it seems that she was very wrong.

Seeing Guo Mianmian like this, the third aunt was not very good, and a far-fetched smile appeared on her face: "Mianmian, don't say that, if your aunt gets an extra payment, she should do things well for you, and now that things are not done, they will still be tired of you." ”

Guo Mianmian shook her head and asked the third aunt not to blame herself. Under her persuasion, the third aunt's mood gradually improved.

In order to let the rest of the shoemakers learn to build new tiger head shoes as soon as possible, the third aunt deliberately divided people into dozens of waves, and let them go to the homes of people who can make new tiger head shoes to learn wave by wave.

The wife and son who were dragged into the water by the "agents" were surnamed Hou, and this time there were 30 people studying at her home, including the "agents" who entered the water two days ago.

When I came to Hou's house, the courtyard of the house was full of people. Most of the people rushed to the scene after the quarrel between the third aunt and the Hou family, and then the third aunt went to find Guo Mianmian, these people wanted to know how to deal with it after all, and they didn't leave one by one.

Hou dared to scold the third aunt for being an old dog, but her heart was very empty, at this time she kept telling others about her grievances, blaming the third aunt for not being used to her, deliberately making the part-time job bigger, making her embarrassed, and asking her to pay for the silver, not mentioning her own faults at all, when the part-time job did not exist.

The rest of the people saw her jumping up and down, so they sent a few words of comfort, and they didn't think she was innocent in their hearts. There are also people whispering: "Hey, you said, Sister-in-law Guo is here, how will you deal with this?" ”

"It's not easy to say, but it can also be seen as the first time the Hou family committed it, and it is for the sake of our Zheng family, so I will let her go this time."

"Well, there is this, Sister-in-law Guo is a good talker, Hou cries and makes trouble, maybe she will move in."

"It's not true, the Hou family's crime is too big, to put it seriously, this is a leak, we have a contract with the Guo family, and it is not wrong for the third aunt to punish the Hou family like this."

As soon as Guo Mianmian arrived, he heard this, and spoke approvingly: "The third aunt is indeed right, the deed is written in vain!" ”

The rest of the people were taken aback by Guo Mianmian, who was suddenly discovered, and after reacting, their hearts suddenly froze. Until Guo Mianmian's smiling demeanor, one by one, you look at me, I look at you, and there is indescribable embarrassment on his face.

Guo Mianmian didn't have time to pay attention to what these people thought, she took the third aunt and walked inside. The rest of the people saw it, greeted her one after another, consciously dodged a way, stretched their necks and watched her walk towards Hou step by step.

"Oh, third brother and sister, you have to make the decision for me!" Hou Shi heard the movement, and without waiting for Guo Mianmian to come over, he pulled his throat and snorted, took three steps and two steps to knock down Guo Mianmian, grabbed her arm with both hands and began to "avenge" himself: "The third aunt looks at me unpleasantly, and wants me to pay the silver and not let me make shoes, if you don't care, our family will have no way out." ”

Looking at the Hou family, who thundered and did not rain, Guo Mianmian's demeanor did not change at all, and the corners of his mouth even showed a faint smile. She quietly looked at the tongue and lotus to defend herself, not forgetting the Qiu family who shouted to catch the thief and pull the third aunt into the water, wanting to see how shameless a person can be after all.

Seeing that Guo Mianmian didn't speak, Hou thought that this trick was effective, so he told his grievances more and more loudly.

It's just that Guo Mianmian never spoke, the more she said that her heart was bottomless, until her mouth was dry, and she said a few words over and over again, and she couldn't say it anymore, so she closed her mouth in embarrassment and looked at Guo Mianmian in panic.

I was dragged out by my colleagues for a day today, and I owed a thousand words yesterday, and I made up for it the next day

Under such silent pressure, Hou finally calmed down, and her in-laws gradually turned off their voices, not daring to jump up and down to beg for justice.

Guo Mianmian's gaze swept over them and fell on the rest of the people, and asked with a light smile: "Do you also think that the punishment of the third aunt is in doubt?" ”

The rest of the people touched the benefits of banning Guo Mianmian, and they looked at each other for a while, and no one stood up to publish their opinions.

Most of these people have an attitude of not caring about themselves, and instinctively pity the Hou family, a "weak man" who weeps bitterly, thinking that the fellow villagers have another ancestor, and the Hou family knows that it is wrong, and should not be blamed too much.

Although Hou's approach was very inauthentic, it did not lead to the loss of tension, and the two punishments that the third aunt said before were a little nervous. It's just that they don't want to say what they think about Guo Mianmian's gaze, and they don't want to blame anyone.
