38. It is not easy to make money in the old society of all evils

Then, Meng Tianchu went out for seven days before coming back.

It took two days to catch the bully, and five days to ask for debts in the Yamen.

The Qingwan County official warmly welcomed the arrival of Bahu, gave him a set of ultra-luxurious prison packages, and then threw down Meng Tianchu, who had sent people away, and drank cold air at the entrance of the yamen all day.

The next day, a short-legged master threw a package to him, a little, fifty taels.

Meng Tianchu was naturally unwilling, took out a wanted warrant, and bluntly said that he deserved five hundred taels, not fifty.

The master looked down on the person with a dog's face, "It's good to have fifty taels, this money is allocated from above, don't you want the storage fee?" Do you want shipping costs? The people who count the accounts do not feed? This has to be buckled from the inside. Do you want to love me, don't you want to pay me back? ”

Of course Meng Tianchu won't return him, and of course Meng Tianchu won't take fifty taels and leave obediently.

At first, he didn't make trouble, but he just bought all day's dry food every day, sat at the door of the official office, and said that he had caught the bully, and the Qingwan County Order still owed him four hundred and fifty taels.

Seeing that this man was a dead-eyed man, he sat at the gate all day like a stone lion, ruining the reputation of the county government, and on the fifth day, an official came out and threw him fifty taels and told him to get out quickly.

Meng Tianchu put the money away, and still sat upright at the door, "Tell you about the county order, he still owes me four hundred taels." ”

It's really a stone in a pit, smelly and hard!

The master brought a few servants, and he was not polite to him, and he drove people away when he lifted the stick, but he didn't expect it to be all other people's side dishes, and he lay on the ground with a few fists and palms and screamed.

Blatantly attacking the government's tolerance, this is worth it! A group of officers and soldiers with knives and guns rushed out to bring Meng Tianchu to justice.

Knowing that money would never come again, the other party was overwhelming, and his own master pursued peace and harmony, so he decided not to entangle anymore and broke out of the encirclement.

Meng Tianchu returned to the broken house, threw a hundred taels to Wang Erya, briefly explained the situation, and went to the back of the house to chop dry firewood.

But where is his battle like chopping wood, it is simply chopping people.

Wang Erya knew that he was angry, and reassured: "One hundred taels is good, how many years do I have to grow cabbage." plus the two hundred taels I saved before, I went to the city to buy a small shop, which was enough. ”

Meng Tianchu didn't talk.

Wang Erya said again: "Look at our iron pillars, I will fry cabbage for you tonight, your boss and I planted it with my own hands." ”

Meng Tianchu stopped his hand at this time, stared at the pier that was about to be split by him, and said, "I'm not afraid of them, just a few small soldiers, and they can make their blood splash on the spot within a few moves." Just, I know you don't want to cause trouble. ”

Wang Erya smiled like an old mother, very pleased, "I usually walk to the side as soon as I speak, I thought you were the wind in your ears, but I heard it." Since ancient times, the people have not fought with the officials, and no matter how powerful the little fart people are, they are asking for their own death against the court. When we meet these officials, let's be turtles honestly. ”

"Then there is no way but to swallow your anger?"

This guy, who is here in the end, in this era, is it possible to talk about fairness and justice?

"There's a way, prick a villain and curse them for offending the more powerful people. Those people can be even more ruthless, and they will crack the car at every turn. ”

Meng Tianchu was so angry that he laughed, "Aren't you just helpless?" ”

"What do you know, this is called the Spiritual Victory Method, which was carried forward by the great Comrade Ah Q and is the only way to resolve social contradictions."

Meng Tianchu shook his head with tears and laughter, and continued to chop his firewood, but the firewood was finally saved.

Wang Erya sat on the ground and watched him chop wood, and unconsciously remembered the two powerful people. I don't know if the two of them have gotten up again, no one will give them an idea in the future, and they will continue to compare who will visit the Qinglou thoroughly?

The next day, the two of them went into the city with three hundred taels to find a shop, and before leaving, they did not forget to harvest the little cabbage that was growing well, which was Wang Erya's hard work.

"Brother Otomo, please take care of your family more!" Wang Erya waved goodbye to Li Dayou.

In fact, once the house is broken, she really can't find anything to take care of, but she has suffered before, so she always likes to leave a way out for herself. If the business fails, come back to farming.

Three hundred taels, in addition to looking for a shop, you also have to find a place to live, and the two of them ran for most of the county before they reluctantly booked it.

Not a prime location, but not very remote either, on the corner of the street. The house is quite large, but it is special-shaped, like a narrow-mouthed gourd, and the street is only about ten square meters, through a passage, there is a yard of more than 100 square meters.

There have been several owners of the house before, and they all felt that the house inside was useless and spent money in vain, but Wang Erya liked it very much.

First, it is cheap, such a location, such a size, other shops have to cost four or five hundred taels of silver, and this one only costs two hundred and twenty taels.

Second, she doesn't need to be on the street for the business she wants to do. The hut outside sells goods, and the courtyard inside has a few tables to play mahjong. The shop must be, Wang Erya immediately found a few more carpenters, and began to pour according to the picture she drew.

No, she didn't know, she realized how skilled the craftsmen that the Ning brothers recruited at that time were, she only drew a few sketches at that time, and they could do it well, even more perfect than she thought.

The ones she found took several days and several reworks before they could be seen by the eye. Looking at the crooked and twisted tube like a big bowl of wide noodles, Wang Erya kept comforting herself in her heart: at least it is cost-effective.

She was busy looking for a carpenter, while Meng Tianchu was sent out to buy second-hand shelves, tables and chairs, and by the way, two small rooms were separated in the backyard as bedrooms, so that they didn't have to find another place to live and save a lot of money.

Everything is neatly arranged, the goods are on the shelves, just waiting to see the opening of an auspicious day of the zodiac. Meng Tianchu went back and forth in the house, always feeling that there was something missing?

Looking at the empty walls, he finally remembered, "There's still a peachwood sword missing." ”

"Huh?" Wang Erya didn't know why.

"Those who open the door to do business all ask for one to drive away evil spirits and avoid evil, those who have money go to the temple to invite the gods to suppress evil, and those who don't have money must at least hang a peachwood sword."

Wang Erya has never done business, let alone done business in this world, so she went to other shops to take a look, and sure enough.

But counting the remaining silver taels in her hand, she was really a little reluctant. I went to ask the carpenter for the price, because this thing is a special need, and the price is inflated, and the most ordinary peachwood sword actually costs one or two silver.

Wang Erya didn't do it, so she simply bought a piece of peach wood directly, and it cost one hundred and fifty yuan.

Meng Tianchu looked at his master and sighed, but Wang Erya was full of words, "I can't look down on what they do, and I can't do what I can see." ”

Wang Erya believes in doing it herself, and has enough food and clothing.

Her mind turned, she took a rough piece of rice paper, drew a pattern, and then sharpened the wood with a knife.

"What is this?" Meng Tianchu looked at the strangely shaped drawings and asked.

"Mechanical Tyrannosaurus Slashing Blade."
