I don't know what Yang Miao said to his two brothers, but the next morning, the two brothers came to talk to star fruit.

Carambola also felt the need to talk first, so she closed the book and invited the two cousins to sit in the outhouse.

"If everything is normal, it will be time to start construction in five or six days. Before that, we have to talk about some things first, and we have to decide on the specific business arrangements, precautions, and strictly prohibited events. ”

Carambola poured tea for the two elder brothers, and the eldest brother stood up and took the teapot with a smile: "I'll come." ”

The second brother also smiled lively, and nodded in response to the words of star fruit: "You have to say it first, there are no rules." The more you are brothers and sisters, the more you should talk about them in front. Avoid being angry about trivial things in the future, and the matter will be condemned to death, and others will not be able to say any gossip. ”

"Just understand!"

Star fruit smiled lightly, didn't say any more polite words, and went straight to the topic-

"I have to take care of the money myself, and it's not good for my two brothers to take care of things in the mountains. I thought that my eldest brother was a carpenter, and he must be an expert in wood, so it was better to take the workers to open the mountain. The second brother has been trained in the county seat, helping to buy and sell mountain goods, buying utensils by the way, and being responsible for miscellaneous tasks such as food for short-term workers. ”

With such a division of labor, it is not easy to resell the objects on the mountain without permission. Carambola thought that they might have an opinion, and who thought that the brothers were very much in favor of it.

Not only agreed, but the eldest brother also put forward his own suggestions: "There are only a few kinds of precious wood on our side: nanmu, camphor wood, and birch; When we looked at the mountain, we went to count the number together. He memorized the amount given to the second brother every day, and when we finally counted the total, it would be clear. ”

The second brother patted his thigh, and he also agreed: "That's it!" I buy things in the future, and I get the price back. No matter when, if I buy too expensive, or too cheap, I will bear the difference in the middle. ”

The frank and unrestrained appearance of the brothers made the star fruit quite embarrassed while rejoicing.

She used to guard against the big house, but she suspected that people would resell things, and she was worried that people would be greedy for money. It's really a gentleman's belly with the heart of a villain.

Perhaps because he understood the carambola's thoughts, the eldest brother's face was a little red at first, and then he drank a saliva, and said with a dry smile: "Actually, our brothers know better than anyone else that we used to do some ridiculous things that are not very trusting." ”

Star fruit coughed awkwardly, not knowing how to answer.

The eldest brother's embarrassed smile suddenly became sincere: "I came back this time because I stole other people's wood when I was making furniture." Buckled and couldn't hide it, the bitter master came over, and the stuffing was exposed, so there was no way to stay any longer.

There is no wall in the world that does not show the wind, you all know these things, and it is already a matter of caring for my flesh and blood to let me take care of things. There are many things in the middle, and it is really natural to give two more sentences. ”

Carambola sighed, picked up the teapot to refill the water for the two brothers, and said gently: "Don't mention the past, this time, let's do it with more snacks." Everyone else has eyes, and many things can be understood naturally. ”

"That's what our brother meant." The eldest brother took another sip of water, and then said proudly: "Actually, it's not easy to be an apprentice." The dirty work is yours, and the hard work is all yours, and it won't please you in the end. The wage shopkeeper said that he would deduct it, and he was usually scolded.

I've been an apprentice for so many years, and it stands to reason that I should have become a master chef a long time ago. But my master didn't teach me anything at all, and he wouldn't teach him no matter how much he pleased. Usually, if I am caught stealing school, I will definitely be scolded, and then I will not give a good face for a long time.

My heart was full of anger, so I naturally sought revenge and came back. Take advantage of the convenience to steal some small things and sell them, one can relieve your anger, and the other can earn more silver. You know in my family, Xiaoding who marries a daughter-in-law still relies on our brothers to earn it themselves. ”

Carambola sighed, not knowing how to answer: walking outside, character is the first priority. The little bit of caution we usually play, others actually see in their eyes. There are so many apprentices in the shop, all of them changed hands in three or four years, why can't they come to you, what you should think about is actually this. The reason to look for should be yourself.

"When I came back, I was full of resentment. Others are talking in secret, and most of them are hateful. I'm not afraid that the third sister will know, at the beginning, your second brother and I really didn't want to help you work with peace of mind. We're all going to make money out of you. ”

He laughed at himself and slapped himself lightly: "As long as you become a steward, your salary and food expenses can be deducted; There are so many timber on the mountain, and the valuable ones are secretly resold, and the quantity is too bad, so buy some cheap wood and bring it back to make up the amount; In such a mountain, there are always some valuable medicinal materials such as wild shou wu and wild gastrodia, find two people who know medicine to follow you, and hide them when you encounter them.

The mountain is so big, and you can earn more than you can earn with this silver alone, but what if you are discovered? We're going to let the second brother take care of the money for you. He would have had some things on his account, and it would not be difficult to smooth out the account.

As long as you can't see a big problem on the books, you just know what is going on and what can you do with us? It's all flesh and blood of the family, if you are really angry and shout out, grandpa and grandma will not spare you. In any case, the reputation of the Yang family is absolutely intolerable. ”

See, you're right to be on guard against us and won't let us help you. We didn't have a good heart in the first place, not only did we destroy our good intentions, but we were also greedy. What I thought at the beginning was to dominate most of your mountain. What wood, wild medicinal materials, is just the beginning.

"Then why did you change your mind again? Whether I guessed your intentions or not, I have promised to let you ......"

Without waiting for the star fruit to finish speaking, the second brother grabbed the conversation and said, "Because of Qiao An!" ”

He also laughed at himself, and then said slowly: "The Qiao family is rich, and Qiao An is not only handsome and knowledgeable, but also first-class and well-educated." Even so, if I want to marry you, I have to make that gesture. Because of his actions, the neighbors are willing to speak for him, and they all feel that if you can talk to him, you can be happy for a lifetime without money. ”

Star fruit didn't speak, but the second brother's expression became more serious.

"On the day you and Qiao An got married, the people in the courtyard were envious. The people in the courtyard praised Qiao An, and many people said, 'If you can get a son-in-law like Qiao An, you will be willing to do it without a dowry'. ”

He suddenly looked up at the eyes of the star fruit, and his expression was unprecedentedly serious: "I was stunned at that time! I'm thinking, but if it were a reputation like me and my eldest brother, what would the neighborhood be like?

Say he stole wood, say I made false accounts and stole silver? With such a rumor, how will our wives and children raise their heads and behave in the future? What's more, our brothers, do we live by stealing chickens and dogs all our lives?

A dignified seven-foot man, it's just that he can't stand up to the sky, and he still has to snake and rat, and be poked in the back by someone? ”

"We've thought about it for a long time and a lot, look at Joan, look at you, and we know how disgusting that idea of having a calculating person is." The eldest brother sighed, and then said: "Thinking about my aunt's learning to make pickles, we can't help but slap ourselves in the mouth." ”

The brothers suddenly looked up at the star fruit, and their expressions were unprecedentedly serious: "Third sister, we want to follow you to do something big." We are very serious, if this time we do something unpleasant and sorry for others, we brothers will be cut off from children and grandchildren, and it will not be good for ......."

"Brother!" Carambola suddenly interrupted: "Where do you want to say so harshly?" They are all dear brothers and sisters, and I believe in you. ”

The brothers' hearts were shaken, they didn't expect that star fruit could be trusted so easily after listening to their previous plan.

"Third sister, we ......"

"We all look to the future, and as for the past, we don't talk about it anymore." Carambola's tone was gentle, but her expression was very serious: "Things are done, not spoken." I'm about to see the real chapter, and everyone's eyes are on you and on me. ”

"This time, our brothers will never embarrass the Yang family."

"I'm going to say the ugly things first. Anyone who makes me find out that my brothers have crooked intentions and have done crooked things, I will strictly investigate them. When that time comes, don't blame my sister for not thinking about her relatives and not saving face for her brothers. ”

The two brothers nodded solemnly: "It should be like that." ”

Now the specific steps and directions of the opening of the mountain have not yet been decided, and there are many specific things that cannot be said.

The star fruit only gave some general instructions, and the eldest and second children talked about finding people, and the star fruit let them disperse.

When they left gratefully, the carambola was in a mood that could not be calmed down for a long time: it turned out that it was much better to induce a good student than to forcibly guard against it, and she was too narrow-minded in the past!

The two brothers had only left for a while, and Yang Pan wandered to the door of the third room again.

Carambola had sharp eyes, and immediately beckoned him to come in and sit with a smiling face: "Ban'er is here?" I've got fruit wine here, would you like a glass? ”

Yang Pan is a good drinker, and his second aunt and second uncle are strictly controlled, and he is not allowed to touch it at all. The only way he could satisfy his cravings was to drink secretly, but he wandered around at home all day long and had no money on hand. It's not easy to buy alcohol to drink.

Hearing the star fruit say that there was wine, Yang Pan's eyes really lit up. But he lost his temper, spit on the star fruit on the ground, turned around and left: "Who is rare that broken thing?" ”

Star fruit knows that things are serious, and these days the second room gives a face that is only afraid that it is not just a matter of the big house.

She chased out and pulled Yang Pan's sleeve, broke a smile and said pitifully: "Why is it so atmospheric?" Our relationship, I was wrong, you beat and scolded, hiding and sulking, but not the spirit of a big hero or a big husband! ”

Yang Pan thought about it: Why am I so angry, you are okay? If you want to be uncomfortable, you have to be uncomfortable together. If you don't feel bad, I should think of something to make you uncomfortable......
