Wang shook his head like a rattle, "No, no, Shufang is about to get married, and he can't show his head at will." ”

"Mother, do you really plan to marry your sister-in-law to the second son of Aunt Ma's family?" Xiao Wang was stunned for a moment and asked casually.

"Of course, your aunt Ma said, give me thirty taels of silver as a dowry", Wang's triangular eyes stood and said categorically.

If it weren't for the separation, the Wang family would not dare to say it so generously, on the one hand, it is a show, and the other meaning is also beating the little Wang family.

"This is the most distressed old girl who often hangs in her mouth, for the sake of silver, it's not for a gangster", Xiao Wang's heart despised it, and he couldn't say that.

Whether as a daughter-in-law or a niece, she has no position to dissuade her.

The life of her parents and the words of the matchmaker have been like this since ancient times, and she can't help but talk too much about her younger generation.

can only sigh in my heart that my sister-in-law's life is not good, and she will seek more blessings in the future.

Before Xiao Wang could figure out how to deal with it, he heard Zhao Shufang's voice outside the room.

"Mother, I won't marry, if you have to marry that bastard, you might as well let me twist my hair and be a sister-in-law."

At some point, Zhao Shufang stood in front of Wang's room and overheard her mother's arrangements for her marriage.

Unable to hold back the anger in his heart, he directly pushed the door open and shouted at Wang.

As a girl who grew up in the village, she knows the men in the village, if she is a good person, Zhao Shufang has no opinion, after all, she is seventeen years old, and she should have married a long time ago.

But that person is a bastard who steals chickens and dogs, and even if she is filial, she has to fight for herself.

"Whether you marry or not, you can't let you decide, if I let you marry, you must marry!"

"Now that you already know, from now on, embroider a dowry for me at home, and you can't go either"

Wang didn't feel guilty about pushing his daughter into the fire pit at all, and stood up and reprimanded the old girl.

"Mother, you are unreasonable, I will go to Dad to call the shots!"

After speaking, Zhao Shufang wiped her tears and was about to rush out of the yard and go to the field to find Zhao Liren.

She didn't believe it, her mother was confused, and her father would be so confused that he would marry her to Aunt Ma's bastard.

"Go, go to your father, if your father doesn't agree, can I promise Aunt Ma?" Wang stood up and shouted at the girl at the courtyard gate.

"Mother!"

Zhao Shufang paused, and after a long time, he slowly turned around, tears fell like rain, and he squatted on the ground decadently and let out a "woo" cry.

Xu is Zhao Shufang's heart-rending roar, full of despair and helplessness, touched a certain nerve of the Wang family.

Comfortably avoiding his daughter's eyes and questions, he muttered in his mouth: "The second bastard is much better than before, and besides, if you marry in the village, your father and I can also help." ”

It seems to be an explanation, and it seems to be comforting, but is it useful for Zhao Shufang?

was calculated behind his back by the person closest to him, and it hurt to the bottom of his heart.

-------------

Because of the farm clothing competition, it was not only Zhao Caier and the Zhao family's old house that caused shock, but also a group of people who had never known each other.

Why?

Benefit!

For example, the Zhangjia Iron Shop in the north of the county town also gathered the managers of several workshops and shops around at this time.

Seven or eight people, sitting in a ball, drinking wine, chewing peanuts, talking about the farm, but not praise, but complaining.

"Brother Zhang, tell me, how will we recruit apprentices in the future?"

It was a man in his thirties with a wisp of goat's whiskers.

If Uncle Tong was here, he would definitely recognize this person, the little master of Hengtong Rice Shop.

Brother Zhang, who shouted in his mouth, was the convener of this gathering, a stout man of nearly fifty, and also the head of the Zhang family's iron shop.

Xu is a perennial iron, in addition to the great strength of the body, the face is also smoked black and red, different from the rough appearance, is bitter and mean, the eyes will be repaid.

The apprentices under him are also extremely suppressed, not only living more, with less monthly money, but more importantly, signing apprenticeships for a long time.

Ten years of apprenticeship, plus ten years of working for the iron shop, despite the harsh conditions, as the largest iron shop in Anxian County, the apprentices who were sent were still in an endless stream.

But now, the thriving farm that suddenly appeared also began to recruit apprentices, and the conditions offered were much better than his, which caught him off guard.

He is also self-aware, and it is definitely not possible to rely on his family to fight against the farm.

No, just gather all the shops that recruit apprentices in the surrounding area and find a way to fight together.

took a sip of wine, widened his eyes like brass bells, and looked around at the few people present.

"Everyone, this apprentice, it's not my iron shop family, it has something to do with everyone here, this is the rules passed down by the ancestors, and it hasn't changed for many generations, but now the prosperous farm, stunned, broke the rules, I trust the big, gather everyone, discuss, how to deal with it?"

Some people flatter, naturally some people will disagree.

A man in a long shirt in a green shirt tapped the teacup lightly, did not raise his head, and said calmly: "I knew that Master Zhang called our elder brother to come over to discuss this matter, and Yun someone would not come." ”

"Cloud shopkeeper, what do you mean by that?" Blacksmith Zhang's face sank and asked unceremoniously.

"It's not interesting", the man who claimed to be surnamed Yun raised his head, white and clean, and looked like he was in his early thirties, in fact, everyone here knew that this person was over forty years old, but he was well maintained and looked young.

"I don't hide it from everyone, and I can't hide it, Xingwang Farm has ordered cloth for the whole year in the small shop, and it is the biggest customer of my Yuncai Fang...... Leave. ”

After speaking, ignoring the warning in Blacksmith Zhang's eyes, he stood up and walked out the door.

He had few apprentices in his shop, and his hostility to the farm was much lighter, and he came here this time because they were all doing business in one area and giving blacksmith Zhang a face.

I really thought I couldn't be afraid of him!?

When I arrived at the door, I suddenly turned to look at the few people present.

Blacksmith Zhang's heart was relieved, and he secretly ridiculed in his heart, hum! Pretending to be high, regretting it so quickly, it's not the same as we thought.

The old man squeezed out a smile on his face, "Cloud shopkeeper, you are a smart person, this is to figure it out, come, come, come back and sit down, let's discuss it." ”

The shopkeeper didn't answer him, and said to the man with a goatee: "Sun Shao, for the sake of your father's face, I advise you, as far as I know, Xingwang Farm is in Hengtong Rice Shop, and he is also an old customer, if they learn that you are discussing how to deal with the farm, I don't need to say the consequences, I think ...... Your father won't spare you. ”
