Chapter 157: Leave the enemy to fend for himself

When I looked up, my eldest brother Shen Cai was sitting on a chair next to him, still holding a tea bowl in his hand, with an embarrassed smile on his face.

The daughters-in-law and daughters of the family were all there, and they all looked at him with accusatory eyes, only Xiao Xia had a smile on her face, but the smile was creepy.

"Second child, why did you get up, I've been waiting for you for a long time, should we leave now or wait for you to leave after eating?"

Shen Zhong looked at the eldest brother with a puzzled face, and asked stupidly, "Where are you going?" ”

"Of course you went to the grain store in the town, didn't you hand over the grain store to me yesterday to help you take care of it? Today I deliberately got up early in the morning so that we could go to the grain store together. Shen Cai said it as it should be, without the slightest hint of shame.

"What?" Shen Zhong thought hard, and finally remembered the words on the wine table yesterday, although he didn't agree in person, he didn't deny it, it was equivalent to agreeing. Knowing that he would definitely make Xiao Xia unhappy, Shen Zhong looked at Xiao Xia nervously.

Who would have thought, Xiao Xia actually giggled.

"Dad, you hurry up and eat, take your uncle to the store after eating, and in the future, you won't have to be so tired if the grain store has the help of your uncle."

Xiao Xia's words not only made everyone in the family look at her in surprise, but Shen Cai was also shocked in disbelief.

Shouldn't Shen Xiaoxia try his best to stop him from going to the grain store? I agreed to it in one bite, and I was very happy.

Shen Cai thought to himself in his heart, and finally felt that his ability must be excellent, they still can't open a grain store, and he took the initiative to help them, and he thought he was happy.

"Dad, you can't let your uncle help me, I remember that when my uncle was the shopkeeper in the past, it was 800 wen a month! How about we give one or two pieces of silver? ”

Shen Cai was proud in his heart, and his little abacus crackled, but he said humbly: "It's time for my brother to help, I don't care if I have money or not." ”

"Then how can it be done, my brother must also settle the account, I will find someone to write the contract, and I can't lose a cent of money from my uncle."

Shen Cai was another hypocritical push, and Xiao Xia was also very cooperative and said that he would definitely pay the salary.

In this way, Shen Zhong drove the ox cart happily, and took Shen Cai, who was also in a happy mood, to the grain store in the town.

Looking at the ox cart in the distance, Koharu finally couldn't help the resentment in his heart and opened his mouth, with a bit of reproach in his chagrin.

"Don't you know who he is? I also dare to put it in our grain store. ”

"I know, that's why I agreed to him to go to the grain store, it's time for revenge." Xiao Xia looked at Xiao Chun's eyes, smiled slightly, turned around and went back to the house, there are still many things to do today.

The contract was quickly drawn up, with twelve taels of silver, which was exactly one year's wages. Shen Cai saw a heavy ingot of silver, and signed the contract without thinking about it, this is real money! Who doesn't like it when you see it.

Uncle Qing was quickly transferred back, and it was Shen Xiaoxia who took the initiative to transfer back, which was in line with Shen Cai's wishes.

As soon as Uncle Qing left on the front foot, the young man in the back foot shop was directly dismissed by Shen Cai.

"Why did you fire me?" The little work is not satisfied.

Shen Cai patted the account book and grinned: "In the future, I will be the owner of this shop, and I will fire you, what complaints do you dare to have?" ”

"Why, you are not the owner of the grain store, and the owner didn't say to fire me." The guy didn't believe it.

Shen Cai was very unhappy when he heard this, sooner or later, this store would be his own, depending on Shen Zhong's ability to manage a grain store, he had been working in the grain store for five or six years.

"I'm your owner's eldest brother, do you think what I say counts?"

The small job is frustrating, the salary given by the owner is high, and he will definitely not find a second such a good job in Gushan Town, so it is gone, he is naturally unwilling, but there is no way. I can only walk away in disgrace, and I haven't even received most of the month's salary.

Shen Cai emptied Shen Zhong's people in the store, and the next day he brought his eldest son, Shen Nengwen, to the store.

It is said that Shen Nengwen has been in bad luck since his leg was broken, Xiucai was not admitted, and it was already common for him to be ridiculed by his classmates in the academy, and he was often beaten with a blue nose and swollen face, and he didn't dare to tell his family. Finally, the family moved into Jiuyang City, and Shen Zhi wrote him a letter of recommendation and went to a well-known academy in Jiuyang City to sign up, but that academy required an exam to enter, and as a result, he was not admitted at all. Shen Zhi felt embarrassed and left him alone.

Shen Neng's self-confidence that he didn't have much text was gone, although he still held the book and read it every day, but he didn't read a word, and he was confused all day long, just holding the book and making a show!

As a father, can you still find out this performance of your son? Shen Cai blamed his son for not being angry, and on the other hand, he blamed the third child for not helping his son with his heart, if it wasn't for the third child who got the key training of the Shen family and got his full help, would he be where he is today?

Shen Cai knew in his heart that there was no hope for his eldest son to study, so wouldn't he arrange a way back for his son, so he arranged to work as a bookkeeper in Shen Zhong's grain store, and he had studied for a few years, and felt that it must be more than enough for him to be an accountant.

Shen Cai had a small calculation in his heart, thinking that he could cover the sky with one hand here, and this grain store was almost already in his pocket. didn't know that Shen Xiaoxia, who was far away in Shenjia Village, watched his every move.

Shen Xiaoxia finished reading the letter in her hand, and sneered in her heart, she didn't need to do anything at all, just spend a little time waiting, they would kill themselves.

In early spring and February, the spring is cold.

No matter how strong the brick house is, it can't stop the cold of early spring, Xiao Wang's pregnant body, the most afraid of the cold, a big copper stove was born in the small living room, and there is a kettle sitting on the copper stove. This copper stove is newly bought to replace, Xiao Xia always feels that the charcoal brazier, no matter how good the charcoal is, there is smoke, it will smoke the baby in the mother's belly, this copper stove is connected to the chimney outside, it will be much better.

The family likes to sit in the small living room when they are fine, Xiao Wang's idle is to sleep a little sleep, the three daughters always love to hold a book in their hands to read, Shen Zhong is idle, no need to go to the town, just run to the mountains, chop wood, repair the yard, and be busy outside the courtyard.

"I don't know, I thought our family was three boys! What's the use of holding a book and reading it every day? ”

Xiao Wang just woke up, sighed, and watched the three girls find more and more pain, comforted in his heart, and felt sad again.

Since the last time I asked for a matchmaker, the reputation of my own daughter has dropped a lot, and I don't dare to ask the matchmaker to come to the door again. But if she doesn't take the initiative to invite, no one will take the initiative to say goodbye, do you think she is not in a hurry?

"Mother, Mr. Xia asked me to memorize this piano score in the past two days, otherwise he won't teach me to learn the piano in the future." Xiao Qiu didn't raise his head, and replied crisply, his eyes always staring at the piano score that Xiao Xia looked at with a big head.

At the mention of Mr. Xia, Xiao Wang's immediately didn't dare to complain, Mr. Xia's words and deeds are simply a model among women, Xiao Wang's respect is very high, as long as Mr. Xia says, she thinks it's right.

The fact that the royal man has the skill, Xiao Xia admires Mr. Xia in his heart, and all the women in the family are impressed by Mr. Xia, including her.
