Chapter 84: Persuasion

The pale-faced Li was carrying a few old men who were also angry, followed by a large group of villagers into the house.

Pu Cao, the Chen family and others hurriedly got up and saluted, but Zhang Er was completely dumbfounded, and he really couldn't understand why he was so unlucky, and he was listened to word for word by the main owner just patting his chest and saying a hard word!

Li Zheng waved his hand to refuse the main seat given up by Pu Cao, took the lead to sit down, and then said loudly, "Pu Cao, you are the head of the Zhang family, and this main seat is where you sit!" I see who else will dare to say a word in the future if they have eaten the courage of an ambitious leopard! Our Nangou Village can't tolerate the animals that don't respect the elders! ”

Several old men also nodded and said, "Whoever dares to disobey Lizheng's words will get out of Nangou Village!" ”

Chunni brought a few pottery bowls early, and Pu Cao personally poured hot tea and held it to Li Zheng and a few masters, and said in a low voice, "When it's cold and freezing, I really shouldn't bother the elders to go on this trip." But the house is restless..."

Halfway through speaking, she took the conversation and sighed softly, with three points of helplessness and seven points of shame on her face, and she vividly expressed the grievances of a junior who knows how to be polite and filial to meet a cheeky elder.

Li Zheng and the clan elders were already angry because their prestige was despised, and they were poured a scoop of hot oil on the grass so lightly, and the fire in their hearts immediately rushed to the roof.

Li Siye slammed the crutches in his hand twice and reprimanded, "Second Zhang, how many times have you come to make noise?" Are you taking the words of the elders as a fart, you are really capable, Nangou Village can't let go of your big Buddha, right? ”

"It's just that your family, young and old, steals chickens and dogs, and does all kinds of evil, there is simply no good thing! The people in the village have been thinking about getting along for many years, and it is not good to say much, but I didn't expect you to have your tail cocked! Get the hell out of here tomorrow! How can Nangou Village raise your disrespectful dogs! "Kong Wuye is a violent temper, he doesn't make so much sense when he speaks, and his mouth is a stinking scolding, but everyone feels very relieved when they hear it.

Zhang Er's legs that were reprimanded for a while were weak, and he couldn't regret that he had just spoken, so he hurriedly stepped forward a few steps against the white eyes of everyone, bowing and saying forgiveness, "The elders are all discouraged, I just said a few nonsense words in a hurry, but I don't mean to disrespect the elders." This... This..."

He was anxious to find someone to carry the black pot, and he happened to see Pu Cao at the front, so he said loudly, "Yes, yes, it's Pu Cao, the dead girl, who deliberately led me to the side!" Don't let her fool you, elders! This girl is used to pretending to be virtuous in front of people, and then killing our family behind her back. Just now, Gou Yu'er was beaten by him, and the elders want to be the master of our family. ”

As he spoke, he pulled his embarrassed son out as proof, but unfortunately everyone felt happy and relieved when they looked at the aggrieved appearance of the dog leftovers shrinking his neck, how could they have any sympathy. Even an aunt in the Kong family muttered, "If you teach a lesson like this earlier, the people in the village will suffer less harm!" ”

Standing aside and following Aunt Zhang, who pretended to be aggrieved, heard this and wanted to scold back, but Zhang Er pulled her sleeves tightly, she had to use her eyes as a knife, and she couldn't take off a piece of flesh on that aunt's body to relieve her anger.

"Humph!" Li Zheng looked at the expressions of their family, his face became even colder, and said, "I heard outside the door just now, we are all outsiders, and we are not qualified to judge your Zhang family's affairs!" ”

Zhang Er lifted a stone and hit his own foot, it was really painful and regretful, and he hurriedly remedied, "Qualifying, of course qualifying!" Brother Lizheng, you are the backbone of this village, and the names of the city government are all written. We live in the village, and of course we have to be under the control of the Rizheng brothers. ”

Li Zheng saw that he lowered his body like this and stammered desperately, his face finally softened a little, he lowered his head and took a sip of tea, then turned to point to Pucao and said, "Since I can manage your Zhang family's affairs, why do you still come to the door repeatedly to embarrass Pucao?" Do you remember that I told the elders that this yard is the master of the grass? ”

Zhang Er'er looked embarrassed, and was thinking about what excuse to find to be perfunctory, but the shopkeeper Sun, who had been watching the excitement over there, was anxious, and secretly scolded this stupid person, and he didn't know how to take advantage of the best opportunity.

He coughed twice and attracted everyone in the room to look over, and then he got up and saluted the elders of Li Zhenghe and said with a smile, "All the old brothers are polite, I am the shopkeeper of the rich restaurant in Cuiluan City." I shouldn't have rudely interrupted the old buddy's questioning, but this matter has something to do with our restaurant, and I hope the old buddy will let me say a few words. ”

Li Zheng and a few old men were just angry, but they didn't notice him as an outsider, and at this time, they heard him report that he was from the city, so they quickly got up and saluted.

Li Zheng listened to the words "Fugui Restaurant" in his ears, and turned around a few times in his heart, and almost guessed eight or nine, but he still said politely, "The village is restless, but I want the shopkeeper Sun to laugh." It's just that I don't know what this matter has to do with your restaurant today, and why did the shopkeeper come to our poor country in the wind and snow? ”

Shopkeeper Sun quietly glanced at the expressions of everyone in the room, and saw that there was a faint trace of respect on their faces, and his heart suddenly became much more comfortable, and his chin was unconsciously raised higher.

He took a sip of tea slowly, as if he frowned slightly because he disliked the poor tea, and then said, "Today's incident is all because of the old man's door, our host heard that the sister-in-law of the Zhang family planted a shed of vegetables, so he sent the old man to visit in person, planning to buy it at a high price, and also add a few good dishes to our restaurant."

But the sister-in-law of the Zhang family admitted that she was dead, and I had already offered double the price, but she still refused to agree. The second brother Zhang couldn't see her pushing the great opportunity to make a fortune out, so he said a few heavy words in a hurry. ”

Zhang Er finally reacted at this time, and immediately climbed up with the words of Shopkeeper Sun. He pointed at Pu Cao with one hand and beat his chest with the other, and said with great annoyance, "Half of what Shopkeeper Sun said is good, I am also a stupid person, I understand it in my heart but I can't say it."

Brother Lizheng, do you want to talk about Pucao, is this girl stupid? She sold the vegetables to Baiyunju once for ten taels of silver, and the shopkeeper of the family Sun came out to twenty taels, and she still refused to agree.

Although I usually act a little wrongly, I don't have the slightest selfishness this time. I thought that if the green vegetables were sold for more money, I would be able to provide your brother with a good education or peach blossom to marry a good family in the future, and I went underground one day to see my eldest brother and sister-in-law and also had an explanation.

But Pucao didn't know what bad intentions she had, so she just refused to agree. She not only blocked the financial road of our Zhang family, but also the financial road of the whole village. ”

When everyone in the room heard their words, they were a little surprised. Everyone is not stupid, naturally they will not believe Zhang Er's selfless confession, what they can't understand is why Pucao is unwilling to sell at a high price, why do you want to push the silver of Baihuahua out?

Kong Wuye was the first to ask, "Pucao, it stands to reason that it is a good thing that your vegetables are sold for more money, why don't you agree?" ”

Pu Cao's face seemed to be a little embarrassed, and after a deep groan, he turned his head to look at Zhang Gui'er beside him, and said softly, "Brother Gui'er, you have seen this matter from beginning to end, and you have been admonished by the sage and understand the matter well, it is better for you to solve the doubts of the elders, I went into the house to find the note." ”

Zhang Guier is a tall and old-fashioned character, so naturally he can't see everyone betraying his faith because of money, not to mention that this matter is also related to the reputation of their Zhang family. So as soon as I heard my sister-in-law say this, I immediately nodded and agreed.

As soon as Pu Cao got up and entered the house, he immediately took two steps forward to carefully explain what happened, and at the end he recited aloud a word of faith, wishing that he would immediately turn into a Confucian saint and completely enlighten these ignorant folks.

Pu Cao stood in the house and heard the end from the beginning, and it was rare to praise in his heart, at the critical moment, this old-fashioned boy still has some use and responsibility.

After laughing like this, she pushed the door out and handed the deed paper in her hand to Li Zheng and said, "Uncle, I haven't read the words of the sage, so naturally I don't understand too many big truths. But the contract paper written with Bai Yunju at the beginning is clear, if it violates our Zhang family, we will have to suffer a lawsuit.

Not to mention these for the time being, if I resell the vegetables, Baiyunju will definitely make a fuss throughout Cuiluan City. At that time, everyone knows that our Nangou Village people are ungrateful, how will the villagers raise their heads to be people in the future, and how will they marry their daughters in later generations? Even when I was planting vegetables at the end of autumn next year, I was afraid that no one would dare to help me anymore if I didn't have enough money for a while. ”

Everyone heard Zhang Guier's big truths before, although they also felt that it was a little bad to resell, but they were still reluctant to give up those white flowers. But at this time, Pu Cao pulled this matter to them in a few words, it was about the children in the family, and it was about the plan to make a fortune next year, and they all came to their senses immediately.

As we all know, it takes at least a dozen taels of silver to build a vegetable shed. There are more than 40 households in Nangou Village, and there are only a handful of people who can take out so much silver in one go. Therefore, when most people can't sleep at night, they are thinking about learning how to learn the grass.

If Nangou Village really has a reputation for being ungrateful in the city, then what restaurant would dare to invest money to build a vegetable shed for them.

"Pu Cao's words make sense, this dish can't be sold!"

"Yes, yes, you can't sell it! Although our village is poorer, we can't do ungrateful things. ”

"Yes, it makes people poke their backbones, and they won't have the face to go out in the future."

Everyone figured it out in their hearts, and immediately spoke out in support of Pucao.

Li Zheng and several old men looked at each other and nodded in agreement, after all, the vegetables were planted by the Zhang family, and if they sold more money, not only could they not share the heads of each family, but the tired villagers would have a bad reputation, and such a thankless thing could not be done.

Li Zheng patted the table to signal everyone to be quiet, and then said in a deep voice, "Pu Cao is a sensible person, he was not blinded by the silver, but planned everything for the village, everyone should take this kindness to heart, if anyone bullies their family in the future, Nangou Village will definitely not allow him!" ”

"Don't worry, we all remember. If there is one who does not have long eyes, everyone spits and drowns him. ”

"That's it, except for those who don't open their eyes, who in the village doesn't say that Pucao has good eyes." Everyone echoed in unison, but the corners of their eyes all glanced at Zhang Er's family, and Zhang Er shrank back and shrank back in fright.
