Chapter 574: The Letter Is Wrong
Li Zheng nodded, and the two discussed some details, and finally decided to go to the county the next day to sign the contract, and then take advantage of the end of the autumn harvest to be relatively idle, and ponder the drawings drawn by Shen Yuerong little by little, and strive to get some of them in the spring of next year.
The mountains in this village are not only cheap can be described by two words, it is simply the price of cabbage, and Li Zheng bought the two mountains and the open flat land at the bottom of the mountain, and only spent five hundred taels.
Of course, for the village names, this mountain is not eaten or drunk, five hundred taels is simply sky-high, it is not an exaggeration to say that five hundred taels is enough for a family not to starve for decades.
When everyone heard that it was Shen Yuerong's money, some talkative aunts muttered.
"It doesn't cost you money, and you can't spend it like this, what are you doing with that broken mountain?"
"Yes, it's not easy for the Shen family to make money, they have built roads for our village, and they have also funded the village school, why do they still spend their money to buy mountains."
Li Zheng listened to these reproaches but was not displeased at all, his face was still smiling, he just wanted to say that Shen Yuerong was not good to the villagers in vain, and this one would help the Shen family feel sorry for the money.
If they are not grateful and say some nonsense, they are afraid that Li Zheng will really be angry.
"Okay, then you will know, hurry up and talk about it everywhere in the village, and all the idle strong laborers will be recorded, and then there will be work every day, thirty wages a day, and one lunch."
At this time, there is still someone who has the kung fu to blame Lizheng, and the hula is all scattered, and everyone is happy.
Although there is no need to starve with the dividends of the winery, there is no need to starve, but there is no good life, after all, every family has some places to use a lot of money, repair the house, children go to school, marry a daughter-in-law for the younger brother in the family, and add a dowry to the younger sister, everything is money.
Now that the farmer can earn a wage, and he can also take the family out with a strong mouth, it is obvious that he can leave a lot of food for the family, and the women and the elderly who save rations on weekdays can also eat a little more, who will not be happy.
The farming in Yutou Village is more lively than the autumn harvest, except for the Liu family, of course.
"Feng'er, why don't you go and register it too? I'll ask you for a job, let's not do that kind of laborious work, let Li Zheng arrange a foreman for you, manage accounts or something? ”
Mrs. Liu thought about it for a long time, and asked very carefully, but she still angered Liu Feng.
As soon as the wine jar in his hand fell, he scolded: "You actually let me go to a place like the construction site?" Insulting Sven, I won't go! ”
I think he was the pride of the sky in the village, everyone praised him for his talent and knowledge, and a bunch of girls revolved around him, even if he didn't have fame, he was also a serious scholar, how could he go to the construction site to work with those untouchables who were five big and three rough.
This is simply a great shame for Liu Feng.
Mrs. Liu didn't dare to say more, for fear that Liu Feng would be angry again.
She really wanted to cry without tears, and inevitably went to Lin Sen's house to make a few fuss, Lin Sen was already like a withered tree, Mu Mu ignored her, and Mrs. Lin looked like she had nothing to love, anyway, if she couldn't leave, she would scold, and she would leave when she was tired.
"Miss, there's something wrong with the young master." The person who came was Zhou Zheng, with a bitter face.
Shen Yuerong hurriedly took Lin Yun to Shi Yingying's chestnut shop, this was the third time Shen Nianhua set up a stall, but it was the first time that Shen Yuerong did not accompany him, so he didn't expect an accident.
Shi Yingying stubbornly protected Shen Nianhua behind her, Shen Nianhua's expression was very aggrieved, and there were two big men standing in front of her who were scolding and scolding.
Zhou Zhenglu gave a general idea of the matter.
These two people are here to write a letter today, one has made good business this year, and is going to return to his hometown this year, first write a letter back to tell his family, and the other is the younger brother who came out with him died, and wrote back to let the family come to mourn.
The two gave the money, and after saying something, they went to buy something, but they knew that the letter they came back was wrong, and the two went back and scolded.
Shen Yuerong heard that something was wrong, he had returned to his hometown, as for coming here to write a letter? Or find a child, those poor people in order to save three melons and two dates is still understandable, since they can do business, why can't they write letters? Or don't have a literate accountant?
There must be something strange about this.
"Nian'er, what's going on?" Shen Yuerong asked Shen Nianhua first.
Shen Nianhua pounced all of a sudden: "Sister, they said that I was wrong to give the letter, but I didn't, I remember very clearly, the uncle with the mole said that his brother was dead, but he had to say that it was wrong." ”
The man with the mole scolded loudly: "My brother is good, you dare to curse him, believe it or not I will kill you!" ”
Lin Yun stepped forward and slightly, and almost broke his finger pointing at Shen Yuerong, and the man didn't dare to curse when he wailed.
Shi Yingying also walked over: "Shen Yuerong, is your brother remembering the fork?" I was busy just now, and I didn't pay attention. ”
Shen Yuerong shook her head, why was Shen Nianhua able to stay with Wang Xiucai for half a year and was told by Wang Xiucai that there was nothing to teach, it wasn't her bragging, Shen Nianhua would not forget it, but his memory was definitely very good, how could these two people remember the fork?
Shen Yuerong glared angrily, and the man with the mole at the sight felt weak: "Since you are not the one whose younger brother died early, you are the one who returned to his hometown in fine clothes?" ”
The man with the mole nodded.
Shen Yuerong continued: "What you said is that you made money in business and returned to your hometown, so you should be literate yourself, why did you come to my brother to write a letter?" Who the hell sent you? ”
Everyone had a little aftertaste at this time, Shen Nianhua set up a stall for the third time, and a few little daughters-in-law were introduced by the wives who had written letters before, and a few people were seen by chance when they passed by, but they were all embarrassed to the naked eye, and these two people were dressed more neatly, not at all like illiterate poor people.
The man with the mole was stunned for a moment, and retorted: "I don't know much about reading, it's just enough to do business, why can't I?" ”
Another thin man also said: "That is, I can't read, my brother died in vain, I waited for the family to bring money to bury, your brother actually wrote that I want to return to my hometown in fine clothes, don't come out and be embarrassed if you can't write a letter." ”
Yo, death in vain, return home, embarrassed, can you say these words if you don't know a big word?
Shen Yuerong snorted coldly: "Okay, even if both of you are illiterate, then I have to ask, how did you find out that the letter was reversed?" For the convenience of everyone, my brother often helps to seal the letter with wax oil after writing, even if he wants to find it, he shouldn't have just left the stall to find out, right? ”
Shi Yingying's eyebrows were raised at this moment, she didn't know the truth of the matter just now, she just felt that she had to protect Shen Nianhua from being bullied.
