Chapter 286 Can You Live For Free?
"I see!" Erzhuzi glanced at the tiled house behind him that had been demolished into ruins, and suddenly realized, "The shopkeeper has said so, how dare we say that it is hard work!" I'm going to tell everyone to pack up and move with the shopkeeper quickly. ”
Song Lingyue nodded to the second pillar with satisfaction, don't look at the second pillar is not very conspicuous, but the person is quite clever.
The second pillar shouted, the other workers in the room packed their luggage, and a group of people appeared in the courtyard in a majestic manner, which was quite spectacular.
Qi Mo lightly touched Song Lingyue's arm, lowered his voice and whispered:
"No wonder you were so anxious to ask me to find a house yesterday, it turned out that you made up your mind and wanted to teach the fat aunt a lesson."
"She thought that I really had no temper and could let her rub it flat and round, but I was not as good as she wanted.
Since renting here, the fat aunt has come to take advantage of it for three days, but it is all a trivial matter, and I also understand that it is not easy for her to survive as a widow, but she has not forgiven me at all, and only thinks that I am a good wrongdoer.
I don't have any motto, the only motto is this: people provoke me first, give three points; If people provoke me again, cut the grass and eradicate the roots! ”
The red lips of the water chestnut hook up the perfect arc, the long eyelashes are curled and thick, and a pair of eyes are shining with pure brilliance in the sun, like a deer playing in a mountain stream, pure and innocent, but a touch of color is fleeting from those eyes.
Qi Mo smiled with relief, he always thought that Song Lingyue had no ability to protect herself and needed his own care, but now it seems that the girl in front of him, although her figure is slender, she has tenacity and intelligence that is different from others, which is enough to make his heart excited.
A group of people left Liuye Street in a grand manner, and the fat aunt looked at the ruins around her and wanted to cry without tears.
It's not that she doesn't want to mess with Song Lingyue, but at that time, Song Lingyue was surrounded by all her workers, in case, in case Song Lingyue gave an order, and those workers acted unfavorably to her, wouldn't she have to suffer a dumb loss?
The fat aunt clenched her fists hatefully, cursed Song Lingyue thousands of times in her heart, looked at the ancestral house in front of her like a ruin, sighed, and blamed herself for not being too greedy, if she wants to eat in one breath and become a fat man, she should put a long line to catch big fish.
The fat aunt had long found that Song Lingyue was very loose in treating the people under her head, and these workers were handed over to her to be responsible for their daily meals, she often told Song Lingyue that this worker was not in good health, and that worker felt cold, and whenever Song Lingyue gave a few extra money and silver, let her buy some meat and vegetables for those workers to make up for their bodies.
However, Song Lingyue probably didn't know that she was secretly greedy for ink in these coins, only when Song Lingyue came to inspect, she would buy some big bones that looked very rich but were actually very cheap to boil some broth for these workers.
In the eyes of the fat aunt, these workers are no different from slaves, and a shopkeeper like Song Lingyue is so good to these workers is purely cheap, if it were for her twelve hours, she would definitely let that group of workers work for at least eight hours.
Thanks to her previous shrewdness and greed for some silver, otherwise the ancestral house would have been smashed like this, and there would really be no way to repair the house.
The fat aunt went to the stove hole to rummage through the silver stored in it, touched the ash in her hand but did not touch the silver, she was anxious to pull out all the ashes in the stove hole, but she didn't see the silver.
"It was the little deflated three who stole the silver that the old lady hid in the stove hole! Kill a thousand cuts! The fat aunt couldn't find the silver when her face was full of ashes, and she immediately woke up to the fact that the silver in the stove must have been stolen.
"It must be the workers! It has to be them! The fat aunt's lips moved, and she got up and was about to chase after her, but there was still the group of workers outside the door.
She wanted to report it, but she didn't know who had stolen it.
And after reporting to the official, how did the money come from must be made clear to the lord of the government, so didn't Song Lingyue know about her greed for ink!
With Song Lingyue's temperament...... The fat aunt shivered, she was afraid that this dumb person would lose, and she had to eat it herself!
Song Lingyue didn't know anything about what happened to the fat aunt's house, and she was relieved to settle the workers again.
"It's really good to find the yard this time, it's hard for you to find such a good courtyard in just one night's work." It was the first time for Song Lingyue to come to this new courtyard, and she couldn't help but look around curiously.
This new yard is not far from Shuangcha Lane, located in Fallen Leaf Lane, and is a three-in, three-out house.
The front yard is a small garden, only well kept.
The trees are lush, the flowers are blooming, strolling along a cobblestone shop, the green bamboo trees along the way, the breeze blows, rustling, there is a Zen feeling.
Passing through the round arch, you will come to the East Garden.
There is only a two-story building in the East Garden, but there are a lot of rooms, with eight wings.
Originally, those workers slept in a bunk for six to eight people, but now they can have two people in a room, and everyone is overjoyed, running upstairs and downstairs to choose their favorite room.
The backyard is not small, there are pavilions and pavilions, and the original owner is going to play the piano and taste tea in the backyard, and the layout is quite elegant.
"This house is so good, I'm afraid that the rent for a year will not be less than twenty taels of silver." Song Lingyue's face was full of the word pain, if it weren't for the fat aunt to teach her a lesson, she would never have rented such a good house.
Qi Mo endured the smile that was about to leak from the corners of his lips, and deliberately pretended to be serious with a straight face:
"This small courtyard belongs to my friend, it has always been vacant, I think you need a house urgently, so I took it out, you don't need to pay anything, as long as you don't break the things in the house."
Song Lingyue's eyes lit up when she heard this: "Really? Can you stay here for free? ”
Qi Mo didn't blink his eyes when he told lies, "Of course." When my friend heard that I had come to Jizhou, he originally wanted me to live here, but now I have a place to live, and this place is conveniently vacant. ”
"Would your friend blame you if he knew that you lent me your house? If it makes your friend angry, that's not good, or let them stay here for a few days until they find a more suitable house. ”
Song Lingyue didn't want to let Qi Mo's friends dislike him because of her.
Qi Mo smiled heartily and said, "No, when he lent it to me, he said that I can use this house as I like." Now I lend it to you, and I am the master, and I will just tell him when the time comes, he is generous and will not mind. ”
Seeing that Song Lingyue was still hesitating, Qi Mo said again: "Don't worry, it's a big deal, I'll leave a letter when I go back and ask him what he means, if he doesn't want to, it's not too late for us to move out, if he is willing, then how about you let the workers live here?" ”
Song Lingyue thought about it and felt that this method was feasible, so she agreed.
After settling the workers and directing them back into production, seeing that the workers were adapting well, Song Lingyue's hanging heart could be regarded as letting go.
Song Lingyue and Qi Mo were about to leave, when the second pillar was pushed out by many workers, blocking their way.
Erzhuzi touched the back of his head, looked at Song Lingyue in front of him and then at the workers behind him, and couldn't open his mouth for a long time.
Song Lingyue smiled gently at the second pillar: "What's wrong?" Is there something missing? ”
Erzhuzi slowly shook his head, opened his mouth, hesitated for a moment, and then gritted his teeth and said:
"Shopkeeper, I said before that I would work here with you and take care of three meals a day, but now that the fat aunt is gone, we can't cook, what can we do?"
"I missed it." Song Lingyue suddenly realized that she felt as if she had missed something, and it turned out that she had forgotten to hire a cook.
The dozen or so workers were tired after finishing their work, and they all looked at Song Lingyue at this time, waiting for Song Lingyue to show them.
Song Lingyue patted her head and said embarrassedly:
"I was negligent and forgot about it. But it's too late today, so I'll have to wait until tomorrow to go to the tooth shop and see if I can hire two cooks to come back. ”
"And what are we all going to eat tonight?" Erzhuzi asked the question that everyone was most concerned about.
Song Lingyue just wanted to open her mouth and let them go out to eat a bowl of Yangchun noodles, but thinking that everyone had moved and worked for a long time, and they had to go out to eat at this time, they couldn't help it.
When she just visited, Song Lingyue noticed that there was a big kitchen in the backyard, which was fully prepared with oil, salt, sauce and vinegar, as well as rice and noodles.
There is also a small vegetable plot outside the kitchen, only some chives, garlic sprouts, radishes, and loofahs are planted, and most of the other vegetable plots are empty.
Song Lingyue had an idea, and took out a string of copper plates from her purse: "Erzhuzi, you go to the market to see if there are any eggs sold, and I will show you a hand today." ”
It's too late, and there are no vegetables sold in the market, but if you're lucky, you should be able to buy eggs.
"So the shopkeeper wants to cook for us?" Erzhuzi's eyes widened in surprise.
Song Lingyue crossed her hands on her hips and raised her chin: "What, don't I look like I can cook?" ”
Erzhuzi first shook his head and then nodded, pointing to Song Lingyue's white clothes, and muttered in a low voice:
"The shopkeeper is dressed like this, it really doesn't look like she can cook, but like a young lady who doesn't touch the spring water."
"It's ten fingers that don't touch the spring water." Song Lingyue helped the two pillars to complete it.
"Yes, yes!" Erzhu nodded violently, holding the money for a long time and not moving his nest.
"Go buy eggs, and when you get them back, you'll know if I'll be able to." Song Lingyue scolded with a smile.
The second pillar saw that Song Lingyue was really coming, so he went to buy eggs step by step.
"Qi Mo, you give me a start, I haven't cooked so many people's meals yet." Song Lingyue took Qi Mo's wrist and went to the kitchen together.
The workers who were waiting to be fed saw that Song Lingyue and Qi Mo were busy in the kitchen, and they were embarrassed to rest, so they spontaneously went to the well to fetch water and began to clean up the room.
"You go to the vegetable field over there and pick up some green onions and eggplants, and you also need loofahs, take a little more, I'm afraid they won't have enough to eat." Song Lingyue casually ordered Qi Mo, and Qi Mo answered and went to pick vegetables.
