On the first day of May, the sun was shining.

It rained yesterday, but it didn't quench the hunger of the earth.

Shen Zhong had eaten breakfast early and planned to go to the field to have a look, but was stopped by Xiao Xia.

"Dad, today is the day when the eldest uncle comes to count the silver, it is estimated that it will come in a while, you forgot."

If Xiao Xia didn't remind him, Shen Zhong really forgot.

"The eldest uncle has been the shopkeeper for so many years, and it will not be wrong for our grain store to be handed over to him. In the past, when Dad and Uncle Qing were in business, it was the lowest time, and the monthly income had to be fifty or sixty taels. Now is the best time for grain prices, and it is estimated that this month, there must be an income of more than 50 taels! ”

Shen Xiaoxia seemed to be nagging to himself unintentionally, but in fact, he was talking to Shen Zhong! Since Shen Cai took care of the grain store, he only earned twenty taels last month, which is ten taels less than the first month, and this month will not be less!

Shen Xiaoxia planned to give Shen Zhong a hint first, with high expectations, when he saw the reality, the disappointment would be even greater.

As Shen Xiaoxia expected, he didn't let Shen Zhong wait long, and Shen Cai came again with anxiety and worry on his face.

took out a dozen taels of silver, and even the excuse did not change.

"Now the times are not good, the business is not good, our grain stores still have profits, and other grain stores have lost money."

Shen Zhong frowned, since his eldest brother Shen Cai took over the grain store, the business of the grain store has been getting worse and worse, and Shen Zhong is not a fool, how can he not think about it.

Seeing that Shen Zhong's face changed, Shen Cai chuckled in his heart. He knew what the business of the grain store was, and he was afraid that Shen Zhong would be unhappy and suspicious. In case he doesn't need him, how can he live such a chic and nourishing life now.

"What? If you don't believe it, can my eldest brother still trick you? I've been working hard all day, and I'm still suspected by my own brother, what am I trying to do! ”

Shen Cai patted his thigh with one hand and covered his eyes with the other, so his clumsy acting skills could deceive the loyal Shen Zhong.

As soon as he saw that his eldest brother was sad and sad, Shen Zhong panicked and didn't dare to think about it anymore.

"Big brother, I didn't mean that, I was just a little anxious, I naturally believe you."

"I know that you believe me, I'll go and get busy first, and it will definitely be fine next month, so you just sit and wait to count the silver!"

After Shen Cai boasted unashamedly about Haikou, he patted his ass and left.

Shen Xiaoxia had been sitting on the side and listening silently, looking at the few broken pieces of silver scattered on the table, the corners of his mouth slightly hooked. She was still thinking about how it would take a year and a half, but she didn't expect that the other party couldn't wait for three months, so she began to dig a pit for herself, so she waited to see if Shen Cai would come empty-handed next month.

But things went more smoothly than she had thought.

After handing over the money, Shen Cai was relieved, feeling that Shen Zhong was no different from a fool. In the future, you can be more unscrupulous.

In the past, there were Ma Ye and others secretly shining on the golden jade hall. Since Shen Cai took over the grain store, Xiao Xia instructed Ma Ye to adopt a careless attitude towards the golden and jade hall, and the remaining power of the golden and jade hall in the first three months was still there, Shen Zhong was loyal, and the grain store was not at fault. Three months have passed, coupled with Shen Cai's attitude, problems have gradually emerged.

"You're the steward here? How does your grain store do business? I bought new rice, you see what you sell me? The rice is moldy! Is this new rice? ”

A strong man stood at the door of the store against a bag of rice, threw the bag of rice to the ground, and spilled the rice on the ground.

Jinyu Mantang is located in the center of the mountain town, today is still the day of the first day of the new year, there are many people coming and going on the street, and there are many people who come and go to see the trouble here.

Shen Cai had just returned to the store from Shenjia Village, and the door of the store was opened, and Shen Nengwen didn't know where he went, he was on fire!

"We are all selling new rice, you are framed, hurry up!" Shen Cai began to pick people up impatiently, and he kicked the rice on the ground several times.

"You are the black shop, obviously I came to buy the rice last night, but I didn't see it clearly when it was dark, and you actually paid the bill." The strong man was angry, rolled up his sleeves, and really wanted to go up and give Shen Cai a few punches. But he knew that this was a backing town, and so many people were watching, and it was not a place for him to beat people casually.

"Ask everyone, whose store doesn't close at night? I haven't sold your rice, do you have any evidence that I sold you this moldy rice? Hurry up and leave without proof! ”

Those who look around are just looking at the excitement, and no one is nosy.

Jin Yu Mantang closes very early every day, and yesterday Shen Cai drank two sips of wine in the morning and slept until the sun was shining. When I woke up, I didn't think I had enough to drink, so I drank two more glasses at noon, but when I opened my eyes again, the sun had set.

He rubbed his head in a daze, and just as a guest came to the door, he had to buy ten catties of new rice at a time.

There is a room in the backyard where a lot of rice is stored in the warehouse, but Shen Cai has not taken care of it since he took over the grain store, and as a result, a lot of the new rice stored in it is moldy.

He had a bad heart, so he mixed the new rice with the moldy rice and sold it in a bag.

Shen Cai said that he was hard, and he didn't feel guilty in his heart, and he felt that this method was very good.

The strong man was an honest farmer, and when he was scolded by Shen Cai, even if he was not convinced, he really had no evidence at all, so he could only pick up the rice on the ground angrily and swallow his anger.

When Shen Cai saw it, his momentum was a little stronger, and he hung his eyes with disdain, and his arrogant appearance was almost empty-eyed, pouting and sneering.

"I can't afford to eat new rice, so I come out to cheat, phew! Don't look at what kind of place this is, this is the largest grain store in the town. Dare to come to the golden jade hall to deceive, eat the leopard's gall! ”

The strong man's eyes were red, and the green tendons on his arms burst out, and he could only accept his fate in the end.

This scene was seen by the two brothers, Ah Long and Ah Hu, who had been secretly paying attention here, and they stood in the crowd of people who were pointing and watching the excitement.

The two brothers glanced at each other and turned to walk away quietly.

Shen Xiaoxia knew about this on the same day, looking at the flying pigeon in her hand, she quickly wrote a reply, asking Ma Ye to secretly send ten catties of new rice to the victim as compensation, but she could not leave her name.

Shen Cai drove away the troublemaker, and his mood changed for the better.

There was a fuss, Shen Cai's stomach screamed on time, seeing that noon had arrived, he hummed a little song and was about to go out to drink two cups.

Before the door came out, it was blocked by Shen Nengwen, who was sweating profusely.

"Dad, give me some silver."

Shen Cai saw that his eldest son was trying to educate him, but he didn't expect him to ask for silver.

"What did you do? Lao Tzu has been looking for you for a long time. ”

Where did Shen Nengwen have time to talk nonsense with him, ran to the back of the counter, and went directly to the money box, but as a result, there were only three or two lonely copper plates in a large money box.

"You rabbit, Lao Tzu ......"

Since Shen Nengwen came to the town with him, after a long time, Shen Cai has also dragged the words with his son who has read books for a few years, and the rabbit cub Lao Tzu screamed all day long.

"Daddy, hurry up and give me the silver."

Shen Nengwen has time to listen to his father's nagging, and he is still waiting to turn the book!
