Chapter 85: The Liu Family's Calculations I
After finishing work, the workers who had been tired all day fought against the guy and went home.
Liu Erlang was sandwiched in the middle of the crowd, walking with a small tune in his mouth, and greeting people he knew from time to time, but no one answered him, compared to other people who were tired and exhausted, he was much more relaxed and leisurely.
"This Liu Fugui is really cheating and cheating, and being in a group with him really poured blood mold on me." The two workers from Lijia Village pointed at Liu Erlang and whispered together, with a look of disgust and disdain.
"Yes, a group of five people, he is standing alone, not to mention the work, and he is very lazy." The other person was also helpless. It was the first time they came to Liujia Village to help repair the house, because of the high salary, everyone was very happy, almost the whole village came, the first day they met this Liu Fugui, very enthusiastic, said that they wanted to work together, they agreed without knowing the situation, at that time the people in Liujia Village looked at them very strangely, and now I am afraid that I sympathize with them.
In just a few days, they learned what kind of person Liu Fugui is, he does things secretly and treacherously, he loves to command blindly, and he loves to talk big.
"Forget it, he's the nephew of Village Chief Liu, don't say a word." Another reminded.
"Phew, what nephew, I heard that Village Chief Liu has long said that he will leave their family alone and want to cut off relations with their family, you don't know yet, this old woman Liu has sold her grandchildren." One of them whispered what he had heard.
"At that time, I had a fierce quarrel with Village Chief Liu, and Village Chief Liu let them go."
"I know this, it seems that I want to sell people to the palace, do you think this boy can enter the palace? That's a matter of cutting off children and grandchildren, this Liu family is poisonous, and in the end, Dr. Xiao couldn't look past it and bought the person. "One of them knows a lot of the inside story.
"This Dr. Xiao is a good person, a good person, I was infected with a cold last time, it was the medicine I grabbed here from Dr. Xiao, just drink it, a pair of medicine is only five cents, very cheap."
"What is this, Dr. Xiao is now rich in the family, and he will care about those few pieces of silver, and the two truckloads of vegetables that are pulled out every day are worth a lot of money, and I heard that they are transported to a newly opened restaurant in the city." Villager Li Yanxian, every day when he came to work, he would see two large carriages of vegetables pulled out of Xiao's house.
"Today's Xiao family is not ordinary." Others echoed it, and the two carriages of vegetables that must be bought every day are obvious to all.
It was getting late, and several people stopped talking and hurried home.
Liu Erlang walked into the house and saw his mother and Liu Fushun sitting in the house talking, and said happily: "Third brother, when did you come back?" As he spoke, he found a low stool in the room and sat down, looking at his younger brother dressed in silk and satin, and said enviously: "Yo, I'm rich, this dress costs a lot of silver." ”
"Well, just came back." Liu Fushun stopped, greeted his brother, looked at his brother's body of dirt and frowned, a little disgusted.
"How about in the city, let you help me find a job, can I find it?" Liu Erlang asked.
"It's so easy to find a job in the city, how good it is for you to do odd jobs in the town and take care of your family." Liu Fushun was annoyed.
"Then where is it, it's only one or twenty wen a day to move goods in this town, how can it be compared with the city?" Liu Erlang was not satisfied, he wanted to find an easy job like his younger brother, and the salary was high
He wanted to go to the city early in the morning, and the prosperity of Pingcheng was not comparable to that of the small Ping'an Town.
"How many taels of silver do you get a month, and your brother and I only pay a hundred dollars a month, and sometimes we don't have any work to do?"
"Yes, this salary is too small, let you find a regular job for your brother, if you find it, he doesn't have much money every day." Mrs. Liu helped and said that all the money earned by the family was handed over to her, and Liu Erlang had more income, so she could save more.
"I know, mother, aren't you looking for it? It's not that easy to find in this city. Liu Fushun had to explain that in his heart, he was 10,000 unwilling to let his brother go to the city.
"By the way, what kind of person is the new Xia family, why did they suddenly come to our village to repair the house." Liu Fushun looked at his brother and asked.
"Who knows? I heard that I used to work for a large family, and it seems that I was very rich, so I hired a hundred and ten people to repair the house? The food is better than the Xiao family at the beginning, and there are big fish and meat. Liu Erlang couldn't help licking his mouth as he spoke.
"Your sister-in-law is lucky this time, she will help them cook, not only will she be paid, but she will also bring back a lot of leftovers from each meal, and you will taste it when she brings it back." Mrs. Liu was satisfied this time, the Xia family was not as stingy as the Xiao family, so she let Wang Xiaohua help cook.
"By the way, mother, how much silver is left at home, and how much silver those two have sold, take it all to me and take it all." Liu Fushun is not interested in these leftovers.
"What, what are you going to do with the money?" Liu Erlang shouted, dissatisfied.
"Of course there's something, I looked at a house in the city and was going to buy it." Liu Fushun said, looking as a matter of course.
"Buy a house, okay, this is good, and then we will all move to the city." Liu Erlang said happily, he didn't want to stay in this poor and remote place for a long time, he had no place to play for money, and he didn't have a place to eat and drink, and the birds were about to fade out of his mouth.
Mrs. Liu is also very happy, she doesn't want to stay here, she wants to go to the city to live the life of a rich wife. "How much do you want, the dead ghost is gone last time, the court issued a subsidy of thirty taels of silver, all of which was used to repair the house, the family has saved a little in the past few years, and the last time I sold the wild seeds for thirty taels of silver, now there are still a hundred taels of silver."
"Why is it so little, didn't I tell you that it will be sold for fifty taels, why did you sell them for thirty taels of silver, this is a big loss." Liu Fushun was dissatisfied, and complained a little about his wife, it was only so little, far from meeting his expectations.
"Son! I don't know, those two are very stubborn, they knew that I was going to sell them, so they went to the river, hit their heads, and they were going to die, and many people didn't want the silver. My mother was wronged for these thirty taels of silver, and you didn't come back when she asked you to come back. Mrs. Liu wiped her tears, looked at her excellent and handsome little son, remembered the grievances she suffered a few days ago, and complained of her suffering.
"Isn't there something wrong with me? Besides, I work in the city and have a shopkeeper watching, how can I leave if I want. ”
"Yes, third brother, don't you know, my uncle won't let me sell the eldest girl and the second egg, and he will cut off the relationship with us, and he will also exterminate our family; If it weren't for my mother's power that day, let alone these thirty taels, there would be nothing. Liu Erlang helped and told his brother what happened that day.
"And this matter, we sell people to take care of the village chief's business." Liu Fushun was dissatisfied, "You mean that the eldest girl and the second egg let Xiao Ming buy them." ”
