Chapter 265: Robbery of errands
Meng Lili still said angrily: "Then you can go to the town and talk about it, and transfer this matter to your cousin." ”
"I've explained all the work, how can I do it for your cousin?" Meng Zhuangshi said: "Moreover, Lu Yan's family is the benefactor of the village, so it's not good!" The village chief can't get over there! ”
"I didn't give the deposit, why can't I transfer it to my cousin? You go to the town and tell Squire Wu, just say that Lu Yan suddenly had something else, he changed the hexagram first, and then said that you found a more suitable carpenter, this carpenter's fee is lower than Si Si, don't want nine taels and halves, just eight taels and eight, isn't this thing done? You are also thinking about the overall situation and saving money for Lao Fu Yin. ”
"The village chief is obviously from their side, and this is not fair."
Meng Zhuangshi was still embarrassed: "But how can you be sure that your cousin will definitely do it?" We haven't discussed this with him. ”
"No need to discuss, my cousin will definitely do it, I bet, if I don't believe it, I will go to the town to find my cousin now, he will definitely be willing to earn this money."
Meng Lili was determined to steal Lu Yan's business, which made him regret it, and immediately went to the town to find Chen Xian.
……
Chen Xian's furniture store has always been deserted, he was napping in the store, but as soon as he heard Meng Lili's voice, he immediately became energetic.
Since Meng Lili left angrily last time, he hadn't seen Meng Lili for many days, and he thought that Meng Lili would ignore him from now on.
"Cousin, why are you here again? Hehe," Chen Xian asked with a smile.
"Naturally, I came to you for something, you go back to Sweetwater Village with me, and I have something to do with you," Meng Lili looked commanding every time she saw Chen Xian.
"Cousin, what's the matter? I'm running a store," Chen Xian seemed embarrassed.
Meng Lili said disdainfully: "What's the difference between your store opening and not opening?" When I saw my aunt last time, she told us that your store doesn't make money at all, and you don't have two taels of silver a month, which is not as good as a guy in the county! ”
"Who said, this is only temporary, I will definitely get rich in the future."
"Now there is a way to make money, you can earn money by following me, otherwise you won't be able to make anything, you can do it yourself!"
Meng Lili turned around and left, but this time she walked very slowly, and also gave Chen Xian time to close the door.
Chen Xian hurriedly closed the door and followed.
……
There was already a lot of pine wood in Sisi's yard.
The people in the village are very grateful to Lu Yan for letting them learn something on the side, you must know that there is such a thing as craftsmanship, which is hidden and tucked away from people in other people's homes!
Several people cut down a dozen or so in a day at most.
While Lu Yan was busy preparing to make tables and chairs, he said a few words from time to time, teaching these people without delay.
Although Li Qin didn't speak, he didn't make any less efforts.
Although the desks and chairs don't make much money, they are helping the village to do things, and his son is also studying in the school, which is equivalent to helping his son, Lu Yan is quite happy.
As a result, just when a few people were full of confidence and ready to show their skills, the village chief came to the door dejectedly and said that there was no need to do it.
"Why? Village Chief, we have all the timber ready," Si Si looked at the village chief in confusion. Cool Record Literature
"Ahem...... This" The village chief looked at Si Si and Lu Yan, and said in embarrassment: "The Meng family ran to tell Squire Wu that he had another nephew, and he also wanted to do it, and his asking price was almost a tael cheaper than yours, and Squire Wu also felt that it was cost-effective, and I heard that you haven't started doing it yet, so I decided to hand over the carpentry work to the nephew of the Meng family." ”
After the village chief finished speaking, everyone present froze.
"Village chief, I've already started to do it, and I've almost cut down this wood." Lu Yan said coldly.
The village chief sighed and said, "I also told Squire Wu, but I don't know what the Meng family said to him, he just doesn't want to change his mind, this is ...... I can't help it! Don't you usually need wood? It can also be used for other purposes. ”
"If the people in the village heard about this, wouldn't they be dissatisfied with their family?" Sisi asked.
"I've also looked for Meng Zhuangshi, but people don't change their minds! He also said that the squires had agreed, and that I, the village chief, had no right to say anything more. ”
The village chief was a little angry as soon as he said it, but he was helpless, comforted Si Si and Lu Yan, and left.
Si Si stood in place, unwilling.
Behind him, several young people said indignantly: "Meng Zhuangshi is clearly deliberate, seeing that there is money to be made from making desks, he wants to make a profit from it." ”
"That is, he is not afraid of others talking about him when he does this."
"What is he afraid of? His skin was as thick as the city wall, and he might even bite back and say that Brother Lu asked for a high price, and the lion opened his mouth. ”
Although Lu Yan didn't say anything, he listened to these people defend themselves like this, and it was in vain that he carefully picked them over and taught them carpentry.
"Would you like to make these tables and chairs?" Lu Yan turned around and asked a few of them.
One of them said: "Of course, although I just came here to learn things and help a little, but if I participated, my father and mother would be very happy, and he would say that I also participated in the construction of the school, what a face." ”
The others nodded in agreement.
"We too, last night my mother also said that our brothers are out of business, and you can do great things with Brother Lu Yan, if you don't do it like this, then my mother will be disappointed."
Lu Yan listened to everyone's words, lowered his head and thought for a while, glanced at Si Si, and said, "Okay, then I will definitely find a way to earn this job back." ”
……
Early the next morning, Lu Yan and Si Si went out after some tiding.
She put on a new dress she had made, a pink jacket, a beige skirt underneath, and a wooden hairpin she had made herself on her head.
Her skin is already fair and ruddy, she belongs to the kind that can't tan no matter how she tans, plus she has a slender figure, just dress up a little, she looks slim, like a dusty hibiscus flower.
Lu Yan was also wearing the clothes Si Si had made for himself, and his whole body was tall and tall, becoming more and more handsome.
The two of them knew that it was useless to talk to Meng Zhuangshi, so they planned to visit Squire Wu in the town and take back this batch of lists.
When you go to visit someone, always dress up a little to show respect for them.
In addition to dressing up a little, Si Si also took some freshly picked vegetables from the field, although they were not valuable things, but they couldn't go empty-handed, and they sent some things from the farmhouse to show that they were not deliberately stuttering.
……
On the way, Lu Yan wanted to take over Si Si to take the food, but Si Si didn't feel anything, and handed it over directly.
