Chapter 129: Admitting Mistakes
The third grandfather was taken aback, but he didn't expect Village Chief He to come to admit his mistake.
The village chief has always been the most powerful person in every village, and the people in the village must respect it, even if the village chief does something wrong, he will not admit his mistake, but the village chief He actually came to the door to admit his mistake, this is really ......
The third grandfather didn't know what to say.
But several of their families still have to live in the village, and there is still a place where they need the help of the village chief in the future, so they said: "Village chief, this is the sin of the Lu family, it has nothing to do with you, the matter is over, don't talk about it." ”
Gu Jinli grinned, and then the third grandfather's words: "Yes, you don't have to take it to heart, with County Lieutenant Jiang and Uncle Shang here, the Lu family can't bully us." ”
She wanted to tell Village Chief He not to think that after admitting her mistakes, she would be able to get benefits in the hands of several of them, and now they are no longer the ones who just fled the famine, and they have a livelihood to rely on.
When Village Chief He heard this, he regretted it even more, he knew that he should have listened to Okura, and he had a good relationship with several families early. Now that the Qin Gu and Luo Tian families have climbed up to the Shang family and Jiang County Lieutenant, the He family is no longer so important to them.
But things are already like this, and Village Chief He can only regret it.
Shaoqing, he said the meaning of the heart: "Dafeng Village is poor, the He family is even poorer, there is no craftsmanship and livelihood, I thought, everyone is a village, your tofu sells well, so I gave up this old face to the door, I want to tell you for the people in the village, can the white tofu and seasoning spices be sold to the He family, so that the big guy can pick up ten miles and eight towns to sell, make some money." ”
Village Chief He originally wanted the Gu family to sell the white tofu to them at a low price, but after seeing the contract in Lianghe Village, it was difficult for him to open this mouth.
Although they are from the same village, but the people in their village have bullied Qin Gu Luotian's family, these families have climbed to the county captain, and it is already good that they did not settle accounts with them, where does he still have the face to let the Gu family sell tofu to them at a low price.
He Dacang wanted to do this business very much, and immediately said: "Third Uncle Gu, Brother Dashan, niece Xiaoyu, don't worry, our He family really wants to make a living with you." For the sake of the same village, bring out some white tofu and spices and sell them to us. ”
He Jinsheng looked at his grandfather and his father pleading with the Gu family, and felt a little uncomfortable, but he couldn't help, so he could only stand with his head down and not say a word.
The third grandfather listened to the words of Village Chief He's father and son, and was very embarrassed: "Our family has limited manpower, and we can only make so much tofu in a day, and we have already given Lianghe Village 500 catties, and we have to leave some tofu to sell at the stall, which is really not good for you to say." ”
He Dacang was anxious: "Third Uncle Gu, we don't want more, just give us some even." ”
Liang Zhuzi and they picked up tofu to sell, it is not a secret, you can know it with a little inquiry, I heard that he made a lot of money, he is very hot-eyed, so he is anxious.
The third grandfather didn't make a decision, so he looked at Gu Jinli.
Gu Jinli thought for a while and said: "Village Chief He, Uncle Okura, now that spring ploughing is about to take place, we are indeed too busy, but if you want to do this business, you can do it, but we don't have much tofu, how much we can give you every day, it depends on the situation, and we have the final say." ”
Several of them still want to live in Dafeng Village, then the Lu family is already a feud, the He family, if they can be wooed, they can be wooed, and only by bringing the He family over can the Lu family be isolated.
Village Chief He frowned, but still said, "Yes, after all, you don't have enough manpower." ”
Gu Jinli said again: "Although we are in the same village, but my brothers settle accounts, if you want to make a living, you have to sign a contract like Lianghe Village, and act according to the contract, if you violate the contract, we will see you in the yamen." ”
Village Chief He was a little stunned, this little girl of the Gu family is really, why do you like to report to the official so much?
He looked at the third grandfather and asked, "Brother Gu thinks the same way?" ”
The third grandfather smiled and nodded: "Well, Xiao Yu has the final say on this tofu business." ”
Village Chief He was very surprised, he knew that the little girl of the Gu family had some skills, but he didn't expect that he could be the master of this tofu business.
There was no way, after thinking for a while, he could only agree: "Okay, let's sign the contract." ”
Gu Jinan was not at home, and the contract was written by He Jinsheng.
Gu Jinli read a sentence, and He Jinsheng wrote a sentence.
This contract is similar to the one signed by Liang Zhuzi, and after it was written, Village Chief He asked He Jinsheng to read the contract a few times, and then on behalf of the He family, he pressed his handprint.
Almost all the contents of this contract are beneficial to the Gu family, but as long as they don't buy tofu, nothing will happen.
Village Chief He put aside this dissatisfaction and said to the third grandfather: "Then Brother Gu, we will come to get tofu tomorrow." ”
The third grandfather nodded: "Okay, but how much you can take, wait until tomorrow to see." ”
The contract did not say how much tofu to be sold to the He family, but only said that the Gu family would give as much as it wanted, and the He family had no objections.
Although this contract is a bit overbearing, tofu is a sought-after thing and sells very well, and Village Chief He only asks the Gu family to sell tofu to them so that they can make money, and other details can be ignored.
After the matter of tofu was negotiated, Village Chief He sat at Gu's house for a while, and sat until Gu Jinan went home.
When Village Chief He saw Gu Jin'an, he said with a smile: "Brother An is back, I heard that I am studying with Shang Xiucai, but I am really good." ”
When Gu Jinan saw Village Chief He, he was stunned for a moment, walked over, bowed to Village Chief He, and shouted, "Village Chief, Uncle Okura." ”
Seeing that Gu Jin'an was born well and the rules were good, Village Chief He nodded with satisfaction, pointed at He Jinsheng and said, "This is your eldest brother Jinsheng, sixteen this year, one year older than you, and he is also studying." ”
Gu Jinan looked at He Jinsheng and shouted with a smile: "Brother Jinsheng." ”
He Jinsheng bowed his hand to Gu Jinan and replied, "Brother An." ”
Grandpa brought him to the Gu family today, just to make him friends with Gu Jinan.
Grandpa said that Gu Jin'an worshiped Shang Xiucai as a gentleman, then Shang Xiucai is not only knowledgeable, but also the son-in-law of the county lieutenant, if he can make friends with Gu Jin'an, he can go to Shang Xiucai's house in the future, and maybe he can also go to the county lieutenant's house, and it will be very good for him to see the county lieutenant.
He Jinsheng didn't like this, his grandfather used to ask him to play with a few grandchildren of the Lu family, but those brothers of the Lu family would only bully him.
Village Chief He didn't care what He Jinsheng thought, he had already stood up and said to the third grandfather: "I went back with Okura first, Jin Sheng and An Ge'er are the same age, and they are both studying, let Jin Sheng discuss and discuss knowledge with An Ge'er, and go back later." ”
He Jinsheng had no choice but to stay.
After Village Chief He returned home, he asked He Dacang to send a message to several honest people of the He family, asking them to come to the house and talk about the tofu livelihood.
He Dacang just called those families, and the news spread like the wind, spreading throughout the village, and the entire He family was shocked, jealous and unwilling, and they all rushed to Village Chief He's house.
