Chapter 131: Shen Shuang is angry
For the Shen family's dinner today, sweet potatoes are still the staple food, but they are sweet potato cakes baked with pork, which has a unique taste, plus some wild vegetables also add a lot of oil and water, everyone is hungry and tired after a busy day, so naturally no one has any complaints.
Shen Tusheng came back very early today, because Yunlai Building has been renovated, he received all his wages at noon, and he was still wandering around the town, and he drank a little wine with the guys who went to work together before coming back, in order to celebrate his salary of several hundred Wen, Shen Tusheng also specially bought a knife of pork to go home to add vegetables.
Xiao Wanshi complained a lot about this, but she didn't dare to put a fart, she just wanted to rest at night and nag.
Shen Tusheng went home and handed over a hundred yuan to Wan, of course, the rest belonged to him, this Wan didn't say anything, took the hundred yuan and happily went back to the house to hide.
During the meal, Shen Tusheng remembered Jiang Zipei's instructions, and hurriedly spoke, "By the way, Xiaoshuang, Jiang Gongzi asked Brother Mo to come over to pick you up in a carriage in the morning, and transport peach gum by the way." Dad, how much peach gum do we pick? I really didn't know that peach tree resin could be sold for silver, and when I was a child, my eldest brother and third brother and I used to pick it up and smash people, and now that I think about it, it looks like I'm smashing silver. ”
When everyone heard this, they fell silent, and Xiao Wan saw his child's father talking nonsense, so he reached out and pinched him.
Shen Tusheng snorted in pain, and looked at Xiao Wan angrily, "You mother-in-law, why are you pinching me?" ”
Xiao Wanshi couldn't wait to step on him again, but now she can only explain the situation herself, "Our peach gum is not sold to Jiang Gongzi's Yunlai Building, and my father and mother plan to sell it to Manfu Building, and also sell it for more money." ”
Shen Tusheng put down his chopsticks, to say that in just a few days, he was simply eating well, working and comfortable in Yunlailou, Jiang Gongzi seemed to be very good to him because he was Shen Shuang's second uncle, so his heart couldn't help but favor Yunlailou, and even thought about being a buddy in Yunlailou in the future.
When he was working part-time today, Shen Tusheng hesitated and asked Jiang Zipei, originally just a fluke and wanted to ask if he could give him a job, but he never expected that Jiang Zipei asked Uncle Mo to arrange it, and he really arranged it for him.
Although he is just a guy who helps load and unload vegetables in the backyard, Shen Tusheng is also satisfied, so he doesn't have to run around every day to find work to do, and he earns a few copper coins every day, which is not enough for a day's meal.
"Daddy, didn't we say that we would sell peach gum to Jiang Gongzi? Jiang Gongzi's bid is already very high, even if Manfulou is willing to pay more, we have to be trustworthy in doing things. ”
Shen Shuang was busy all day and wanted to have a meal quietly, but she didn't expect to hear her second uncle say this, although she felt that this second uncle was sometimes quite confused, but it was estimated that she was getting benefits from Yunlai Lou, and at this time, she even spoke with credit, which was simply an assist.
At this time, Shen Shuang naturally kept silent, quietly being a melon-eating crowd, and signaled her father and mother not to make a sound.
When Xiao Wan heard the words of his child's father, he didn't wait for Wan and Old Man Shen to say anything, and then spoke first, "Child's father, what are you talking about, our family also said that Xiaoshuang and Jiang Gongzi would sell him peach gum, but there was no written transaction on paper." Of course, if he is willing to pay the money, we will still sell it to him, and you don't talk nonsense in front of your parents. ”
Wan didn't expect his son to say such a thing, so he immediately said with a straight face, "Tusheng, what are you talking about?" Your father and I went out early in the morning, leading the family up the mountain to pick dozens of baskets of peach gum back, don't you think it's easy? Since it's not easy, of course our family has to sell it for a good price, who said that it must be sold to the Jiang family? ”
Shen Tusheng was a little anxious, "Mother, our family can't do this, Jiang Gongzi promised me a job today, as a helper in a restaurant, including food and accommodation, and a tael of silver a month, our family can't be ungrateful." Last time, Miss Jiang also brought so many things to our family, and we can't forget it. ”
Shen Shuang listened to this, slowly drank the sweet potato porridge in the bowl, and then ate the sweet potato pancakes, understanding why her second uncle spoke for Jiang Zipei like this, but he should have said this, but he didn't expect that he would also get a job for himself.
Xiao Wan's eyes widened when he heard one or two taels of silver a month, "What? Pack food and lodging and give one or two silver, so Yunlailou is so well treated? If you become a shopkeeper, will you have more than a dozen taels of silver a month? You stupid, why didn't you ask that Jiang Gongzi to be a shopkeeper, I see that Xiaoshuang and Miss Jiang have such a good relationship, maybe this thing can be done. ”
Shen Musheng couldn't listen to it anymore, and put down the dishes and chopsticks, "Second brother and sister, he can't read and write, how can he be a shopkeeper, although Miss Jiang and Xiaoshuang have a good relationship, we can't use this to blackmail other people's favors." ”
Xiao Wanshi stood up directly when he heard this, with an unhappy face, "Dad, mother, listen to what the eldest brother means, is this saying that I want to blackmail the son of the Jiang family?" Am I not here for the good of the natives? I think that Jiang Gongzi is taking advantage of this to make our family feel guilty, and then sell the peach gum to Yunlailou at a low price, he can think beautifully, he doesn't want it if he doesn't give ten taels of silver a catty. ”
Wan Shi echoed, "That's right, our family plans to sell ten taels of silver and a pound of peach gum to Man Fulou, and it won't be a cent, even if Jiang Gongzi does it for Tu Sheng'er." ”
Old man Shen wanted to speak, but in the end he didn't say anything, he just nodded, "That's right, seeing that we have almost picked the peach gum in the peach forest, Ming'er and your mother will go to Manfu Building to sell peach gum, boss, your family will get up early tomorrow, catch some river clams and we will sell them together, and then go to the mountains to pick Chaotian peppers." ”
Shen Tusheng naturally wanted to refuse when he heard this arrangement, Shen Shuang hurriedly gave her father a look, and then he spoke slowly, "Master, how do you plan to transport so much peach gum to the town?" ”
Wan Shi answered, "Didn't you say that Jiang Gongzi Ming'er would let someone pick you up and Yun Taojiao?" Let's take the Jiang family's carriage to the town. ”
Shen Shuang sneered, this way of taking advantage can be said to be shameless, "Peach gum is not sold to the Jiang family, why should you ask others to help transport it?" Master, such a conscienceless thing, our family can't do it, and I can't do it. ”
Wan slapped the table, "What did you say?" What does it mean to have no conscience, but it's just a free ride, why can't it be? Old family, how do you teach your daughter, just can't talk back to me, who is her milk? Do you want to be angry with me? ”
Xu Shi hurriedly spoke, "Xiaoshuang, you don't say a few words." ”
Shen Shuang was a little impatient, she wouldn't agree to do such a thing if she didn't say 10,000 words, she didn't want to eat immediately, and stood up directly, "Anyway, I won't let Uncle Mo help transport peach gum, it's impossible." ”
Wan Shi was very angry, "Oh, you little hoof, what are you talking about, don't think that you tell us that peach gum can be sold for money, if you don't want to call, this peach gum is sold for money, and you can't get a penny for your big house." ”
Shen Shuang felt that her temper had been restrained for too long, and she needed to explode at this time, regardless of her mother's dissuasion, she replied with a sneer, "Okay, then I'll see if you can sell these peach gums smoothly, if you can sell them, my father and mother and I don't want a penny." ”
Xiao Wan's eyes lit up, thinking that he could get the bulk of the hundreds of taels of silver from selling peach gum, the whole person was excited, and he smiled so much that his eyes were almost invisible, and he looked like he had picked up gold.
"Big brother and sister-in-law, do you hear me, this is what Xiaoshuang herself said about not wanting silver. Daddy, you have to testify, don't give the money to the eldest brother's family when the time comes, Xiaoshuang is not rare. ”
Shen Shuang was so angry that he turned around and left directly, Xu Shi hurriedly followed, Xiaoshan and Shi were confused, but they also knew that the adults were quarreling, and the two children didn't understand the specific content, but they didn't like adults to quarrel, so they had already taken the dishes and chopsticks to the side while eating while casually feeding the little wolf cub something to eat.
The little wolf cub does not refuse, in fact, it sneaks out at night to find food, even Shen Shuang doesn't know about this, of course, what others give it to eat will eat if it gives face, such as now.
Shen Shuang was so angry that he turned around and left, and Wan Shi was also very angry, "Boss, look at your girl, your eyes are about to grow in the sky, don't you find that peach gum can be sold for silver?" If it's not her, we can also find out what's so great. ”
Shen Musheng thought that it was his own father and mother, so naturally he was not angry with them, and he also knew that if those peach gums were not purchased by Yunlailou, they would not be able to sell them at all, but seeing their reactions, he had to hold back his anger and say, "Mother, since Shen Shuang said so, you can just go and sell it, and we can't control this matter." ”
Saying that, Shen Tusheng stood up, suddenly remembered something, and looked at the old man Shen and spoke, "Dad, every day Xiaoshan Niang cleans up the dishes and chopsticks, I see that the second brother and sister are very idle, so let Xiao Shanniang and the second brother and sister take turns to clean up in the future, they are all daughters-in-law of the old Shen family, you can't let Xiaoshan Niang come to everything, after all, you also need to be fair." ”
Xiao Wanshi was smiling so much that she couldn't see her teeth at this moment, and when she suddenly heard this, the smile on her face froze on her face, her eyes widened in disbelief, and she hurriedly pulled Shen Tusheng, who had been sitting silently and seemed to be sulking, hoping that he would help her speak.
But Shen Tusheng felt that his daughter-in-law was fanning the flames, and he didn't have a good face for her, so he said with a rushed face, "What are you pulling me for?" Didn't you hear what the eldest brother said? If you don't hurry up and put away the dishes and chopsticks to clean them, you will know that you are causing trouble all day long. ”
Xiao Wanshi didn't react to being scolded by the man, and hurriedly looked at the children who were still sitting at the table, Shen Zhuzi on the side couldn't listen anymore, but he still helped clean up the dishes and chopsticks.
Shen Cuini has been listening, but she didn't dare to talk more for fear of being scolded, after hearing this, her mother also had to help wash the dishes, and then saw her mother looking at herself, and quickly pulled a few mouthfuls of rice, "I'm full, I'll go back to the room to embroider." ”
After that, he ran faster than a rabbit.
