Chapter 54: A Handful of Beans

Xi Hongdou actually thinks that if he has a caravan to transport goods, not only can he use it himself, but he can also help other families transport goods, and he will definitely not be idle, if the eldest brother and sister-in-law can really make a caravan, she will express her support!

After spending the afternoon at my grandfather's house, everyone had dinner in the evening, and the Xi family retreated.

Aunt Ding pulled Xi Hongdou and said, "If there is a way to get rich in the future, don't forget your cousin and sister-in-law!" ”

"Okay." Xi Hongdou responded with a wry smile, and Aunt Ding was happy.

When he returned home, Xi Hongdou fell asleep early, and the day passed in such a hurry.

Early the next morning, Xi Hongdou got up early in the morning, yesterday when he went to the door when he met people to say that the Xi family wanted to collect grain, everyone got the news and spread, at dawn on the second day of the first month, all took their own grain to the village ancestral hall, which is convenient from each family, and the place to collect grain is also spacious.

The price given by Xi Hongdou is not low, it is higher than the price of the Cui family, everyone is willing to sell more money if they have food, and now Xi Hongdou has been bought and sold in Kyoto City, they will not worry about sales in the future, and they will not sell to the Cui family in the future, they will sell to Xi Hongdou here.

After a busy morning, Xi Hongdou was bookkeeping and settling accounts, and when he was eating at noon, his brother and sister were going to pack up and go home for dinner, but at this time, Xi's second sister-in-law came over and looked panicked.

"Second sister-in-law, what's wrong?" Xi Hongdou asked.

"Something happened, my sister-in-law slipped and fell, and she was red!" Second sister-in-law Xi said in a panic.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly looked at Xi Mu, Xi Mu didn't get on anything, raised his legs and ran home.

Xi Hongdou hurriedly followed, and when she got home, Sister-in-law Xi was already sweating in pain.

"Lang Zhong, look for Lang Zhong!" Aunt Xi shouted at this time, but there was no Langzhong in this village, and she went to the county seat to see a doctor.

Xi Hongdou said directly: "Hurry up and send it to the city to find a doctor!" Then he took the quilt and put it on the ox cart, and here Xi Daddy set the car, and Xi Mu hurriedly hugged the person and got into the car.

"Let's go, hurry up!" Xi Hongdou followed one and got into the car, and then went all the way to the county seat.

Sister-in-law Xi's stomach hurt and she was about to faint, Xi Hongdou was also afraid, she shouldn't have been afraid of fetal gas for five months, but Sister-in-law Xi was bleeding, she was really afraid of miscarriage, this is the first child of the Xi family's grandchildren, everyone is looking forward to being born, if it is gone, my father and mother will not say it, I am afraid that Sister-in-law Xi herself will not be able to bear it.

When I arrived at the county seat, the doctor hurried to save the person, and after the person was carried in, it took a long time to come out.

"Doctor, how are the people?" Xi Mu was anxious and pulled Lang Zhong not to let go.

Lang Zhong said: "It's okay, the child was saved, thanks to five months, but for three months, I didn't recruit anything!" ”

When Xi Hongdou heard this, he was relieved just like Xi Mu.

"Come and prescribe medicine!" Lang Zhong said, Xi Hongdou hurriedly followed, and Xi Mu went into the house to see Xi's sister-in-law.

The medicines prescribed by Lang Zhong are also expensive, a lot of money down, Xi Hongdou doesn't care about the price, he pays the money directly, but Lang Zhong still said: "After all, it is red, and it is best to have tonic soup every day after that, when the child is born, when can you rest assured!" ”

Xi Hongdou said: "If you drink tonic soup every day, will your belly be too big and you will suffer again when you give birth?" ”

"It's okay to drink less a day, and don't be greedy when you eat!" Lang Zhong said.

Xi Hongdou was relieved, so he asked Lang Zhong to prescribe a prescription, and then took the prescription to grab the medicine, and let Xi's sister-in-law drink a bowl before reassuring.

Sister-in-law Xi is very remorseful, the medicinal materials on the recipe are not cheap, if you drink it every day, you must not go bankrupt, if you are careful, there will be no accident!

"It's all my fault, I didn't notice that there were beans under my feet, and I almost killed my son!" Sister-in-law Xi said.

Xi Hongdou wondered: "How can there be beans under the soles of your feet?" Shouldn't it be so casual at home? ”

Sister-in-law Xi shook her head: "It's not home, I was going to call you back for dinner, but as soon as I got out of the door, there was a handful of beans at the door, and I ......."

Xi Hongdou's face was not good, he looked at Xi Mu, Xi Mu was not really wood, and he always felt that someone deliberately sprinkled beans at his doorstep!

"It's okay sister-in-law, fortunately, the child is fine, just a little tonic, if you feel sorry for the money, I'll fool my father and mother, what's wrong with their eldest grandson and their money?!" Xi Hongdou said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Xi was relieved by Xi Hongdou to say this, the money is enough for their big house, and they don't need to give money from their in-laws, so I'm afraid that she will make a fuss this time, and what if the child is born with missing arms and legs.

Riding the ox cart home, Xi Hongdou rice didn't have time to eat, and he had to continue to collect grain.

When it got dark, he finally made it first, Xi Hongdou was almost hungry when he got home, and as soon as he entered the door, he saw that the house was about to eat, so he sat down first.

"Mother, hungry!" Xi Hongdou was almost silent when he spoke.

Aunt Xi smiled, hurriedly served the meal, and said, "You eat first, don't care about them!" ”

Daddy Xi saw that Xi Hongdou was tired like this, so he asked, "How much do you want to collect?" ”

"Ten carts, these grains should have not been sold by the villagers before, come ten carts first, and then you will continue to collect them after I leave." Xi Hongdou said, and then quickly threw off his cheeks to eat, and if he didn't eat again, he would really starve to death.

At night, Xi Hongdou took up the pillow and fell asleep, and when he went to collect grain the next day, he heard someone talk about something on the way.

"This daughter-in-law of the Zhao family sprinkled a handful of soybeans at the door of the Xi family, and I heard that the eldest daughter-in-law of the Xi family almost lost her child!" A mother-in-law said.

Xi Hongdou was stunned for a moment, remembering which Zhao family's daughter-in-law was the Zhao family's daughter-in-law, so she heard another mother-in-law say: "Then the Zhao family's daughter-in-law is too lacking in morality, how can she still harm other people's children?" If you want me to say, if she can't give birth to a child, she is definitely lacking in morality, and others can't give birth and can still sympathize with and sympathize, this person should be! ”

Xi Hongdou finally got on the number, and knew which Zhao family's daughter-in-law was talking about, so he asked: "Have you seen the matter of sprinkling beans?" ”

The two mothers-in-law who spoke in front of them were startled, and when they saw that it was Xi Hongdou, they quickly laughed: "We are talking nonsense!" ”

"Don't go, if you say if you really saw it, I'll ask, and you can't find someone to confront you!" Xi Hongdou said.

Hearing Xi Hongdou say this, the mother-in-law nodded: "I did see it, I didn't know what she was doing at first, but then I heard that your sister-in-law stepped on the beans and slipped her feet, so I knew what she was doing!" After finishing speaking, they quickly slipped away, and now the village wants to sell grain to Xi Hongdou, and they don't dare to offend Xi Hongdou anymore!

Xi Hongdou gritted her teeth, this daughter-in-law of the Zhao family has really damaged her virtue for eight lifetimes, isn't this deliberately trying to cause her sister-in-law to have a miscarriage? !

But even if the mother-in-law saw it, she wouldn't identify it in person, and now even if she goes to settle accounts with the daughter-in-law of the Zhao family, there is no way to find it.

When collecting grain during the day, someone came to make trouble, the Cui family because the Xi family is now a grain merchant, and the grain collected is not much, many villagers would rather stay at home by themselves than sell it to the Cui family at a low price.

Boss Cui came directly with thugs, and directly intimidated the villagers who wanted to sell grain to the Xi family, seeing this situation, Xi Hongdou hurriedly stepped forward to stop it.

"Boss Cui, what are you doing here?" Xi Hongdou also recognized Boss Cui, so he asked directly, and Xi Mu Xilin next to him also stood and protected Xi Hongdou in the middle.

As soon as Boss Cui looked at Xi Hongdou, he said, "What am I going to do?" Your Xi family has raised the price of rice, so that we rice merchants can't do business, what do you say I'm going to do?! ”

Xi Hongdou said with a smile: "Price gouging? Is there a price for this? Who prescribes? Except for the government, everyone else says it is nonsense. Your Cui family is used to sucking blood, what's wrong? Can't we collect grain at home? "She still doesn't believe in this evil, others don't dare to mess with the Cui family, she is not afraid of that! Is it enough to bring a bunch of ruffians to play prestige?

Boss Cui saw that Xi Hongdou was so sharp-toothed and sharp-tongued, so he said, "What about your family? ”

"It's not easy to find anyone, just tell me if you have something, leave quickly if it's okay, don't delay me doing business!" Xi Hongdou said, then turned back to Xi Mu and said, "Big brother, go to the ground to find someone, and those who come here today will double their wages!" ”

Xi Mu nodded: "Okay, who is afraid of whom!" ”

Boss Cui saw that he couldn't scare the Xi family, so he said, "Don't you talk about the royal law?" Do you still want to gather a crowd to fight? ”

Xi Hongdou smiled directly: "These words came out of your boss Cui's mouth, it seems that the taste is wrong, your old man drove away my guests with someone, and now you still say that we gather to fight?" What's the trouble?! Then he shouted to the blind dates around him.

"Folks, my Xi family has been in Xijia Village for many years, when your grain was lowered by black-hearted merchants, but my Xi family gave a good price, if my Xi family was trampled on today, don't want to sell your rice price in the future, do you just look at it?" Xi Hongdou began to incite the villagers in Xijia Village.

Everyone thinks about it, now that the price given by Xi Hongdou is good, they naturally don't want to sell it to Boss Cui, and now Boss Cui wants to sabotage, isn't that going to cut off their livelihood?

"Boss Cui, if you don't give us a reasonable price, we will sell it to the Xi family, but if you maintain the price of previous years, we will definitely not sell it to other families!" Some villagers are fair, after all, they are also old customers, as long as they can get by, everyone doesn't want to change customers.

How can Boss Cui be so easily afraid, he has monopolized the grain procurement around Yunzhou City for many years, and he thought that even if the price was lowered, these old farmers would not have any opinions, and he could make more money, if there was no Xi family, his plan would have succeeded!

"Folks, can you think about it, my grain merchant business has to be done every year, and now that the Xi family has done business, what will happen in the future? When they don't do it, who else can you sell to? Speaking of this, Boss Cui said: "I won't make trouble now, I'll just see who sells grain to the Xi family, and even if their family's grain wants to be sold to our Cui family, our Cui family won't collect a grain of rice!" "Now it's up to who's good!
