Chapter 20: Do as I say
Cai Qifu saw that his eldest brother was also there, and his expression immediately became cringe, and he entered the hall step by step.
"Big brother, little sister."
"Third brother, sit down, I have something to discuss with you." Cai Zijun pointed to the stool next to the table.
Cai Qifu sat down and looked at his sister, before, he didn't dislike this lazy, delicious and stupid sister, but he didn't like it very much, because his father's attention and love were on her alone, and that feeling made him very unhappy.
But last night, her attitude towards herself helped him get through a level, and he felt the change in her, so as soon as she called, he came.
"Third brother, my father's and mother's medicine fees are not paid with any money." Cai Zijun didn't beat around the bush and went straight to the road.
Cai Qifu's face suddenly swelled red, he glanced at Cai Zijun, then at Cai Qirong, lowered his head in a snort, took a deep breath after a while, as if he had made up his mind, "Big brother, sister, although I am messing around outside, I am not ignorant of the severity, the reason why I lost so much money at once is really to fall for someone else's trap, I ...... In the future, keep your promise, stay at home and do the work, and earn money to make up for the family. ”
Cai Qirong glanced at him fiercely, "It's good that you know!" Look at you, my father's and mother's life's hard-earned silver, the family's hard-earned money has been lost to you at one time, and now I can't even take out two taels of silver for my father's mother's medicine, which is really a joke for outsiders. You see, do you want to let ......"
"Big brother......" Cai Zijun interrupted Cai Qirong's next words, she knew what he would say later.
Cai Qirong's mind was interrupted again, and he was so angry that he looked at his sister with his eyes, seeing what kind of demon she wanted to be?
"Third brother, there is a saying, the prodigal son will not change his money, this time, I hope you have really learned a lesson, otherwise, you really want to get mixed up until the day when you sell your sons and daughters? If that's the case, I'm afraid this Cai family won't have a foothold for you! ”
"Sister, the third brother knows, the third brother regrets it now, really!"
"Well, now let's talk about the silver for my father's medicine, yesterday's consultation fee and medicine fee were a total of two taels of silver, and my father's mother only has a hundred copper plates left, although the eldest brother has two taels of silver saved, but he has to pay the two nephews' shackles for the New Year, and others, as you know, may have a few copper plates on his body, which is not enough at all."
"Third brother, you have a craftsman's craft, from today onwards, you start picking it up, these days I went to the mountains to cut bamboo and came back, ready to weave things and sell them in the town, otherwise, not to mention the cost of medicine, this year, there is no silver to buy the New Year's goods." Cai Zijun sighed inaudibly.
She is really envious of the original owner, when the person goes, the family's silver is gone!
And herself, God gave her the opportunity to live again, but as soon as she came through, she took over a lot of messes, for the sake of occupying the original owner's body, she had to worry about the family no matter what, and she couldn't ignore it.
"But...... Little sister, what am I going to make up to sell? Now the weather is so cold, no one wants a mat, a cool bed or anything, as for the household basket or something, people are all made at home, and basically they will not go out to buy it. ”
"Third brother, we can try to make a few more things, make a special outcome, beautiful and practical, go to the county to sell, not these honest at home, at first glance it is a household basket, basket, there is no art at all, only practicality, no observability, you just prepare first, when the time comes, I will teach you."
Art?
What is Art?
The two didn't understand, but they didn't ask, anyway, they probably understood what my sister meant, that is, it should be practical and good-looking, and it should be sold to rich families, not to poor families.
Cai Qirong frowned and looked at Cai Zijun, his eyebrows were so wrinkled that he could kill flies, he didn't know what this little sister was doing, but there was a lesson from last night, but there was no exit to block it, anyway, no matter what she tossed, as long as he didn't let him take out two taels of silver.
"Oh. What should I do with the two taels of silver now? Cai Qirong nodded, only let him work to earn silver, and didn't say that he would take out two taels of silver now, he was relieved.
"I'll go to Uncle Cai's house in a while and talk to him, and then give him the two taels of silver. From today onwards, I will go to learn medical skills from him and go up the mountain to collect medicines, hoping to collect some herbs worth silver to offset some medicine costs. Cai Zijun looked at the sky, the heavy snow had completely stopped, and the sun came out.
When the snow melts, she can follow Cai Langzhong up the mountain to collect medicine.
In addition to asking Cai Lang to slow down, there is no other way, Cai Qirong and Cai Qifu did not speak out against it, the younger sister followed Cai Lang to learn medical skills, although she did not apprentice, but she was similar to the master and apprentice, and this bit of face should still be given to the younger sister.
Cai Zijun stood up, "I'm going to Uncle Cai's house." Third brother, you can go to chop bamboo to prepare now, if you can't be busy alone, let the second brother, or the fourth brother help you go to the mountain to chop together, make a batch out as soon as possible before the year, sell it, and have the silver for the New Year's goods. ”
"Third sister, it's really ...... Can it really be sold? ”
Cai Zijun glanced at Ling Ling's eyes, "Third brother, apart from believing me, do you have a better way to make money?" No, just do as I say! The bamboo is cut on the mountain, and it doesn't cost silver, so it's a big deal to spend a little labor. ”
Cai Qifu was choked by her, think about it, bamboo doesn't cost silver, as for labor, it's winter, he's fine at home every day, and it doesn't cost silver, yes, listen to my sister, let's do it!
Cai Zijun shook his fat body and left, looking at his sister's back, Cai Qirong and Cai Qifu glanced at each other, and they could see from each other's eyes, it was a surprised look, this sister not only has a flexible brain, knows how to care about family affairs, but also ...... How to say it, the sentence just now has the momentum of not allowing others to disobey.
"Big brother, when did she become like this?"
"When? You know that you are wandering around all day long, and you don't know how to care about your family at all, do you know that your sister fell into the loach river and drowned the day before yesterday? ”
"Dead ...... Dead? That...... Who's that just now? Cai Qifu was shocked, his voice rose sharply, and after a while, he pointed to the outside of the courtyard and stammered.
Cai Qirong gave him a big roll of his eyes, "Naturally, he came back to life after he died, otherwise, who do you think was just now?" What the hell? Hum! ”
Cai Qifu wiped the sweat on his forehead, "Big brother, can you not breathe less next time you speak, and finish it at once?" That's scary, okay? ”
"Scared you to death, you deserve it!" Cai Qirong stood up, ignoring the third brother, and walked out with his feet raised.
"My sister is because she died once and figured it out, so she ...... Has she changed? Cai Qifu hurriedly asked.
"Yes." Cai Qirong said in a sullen voice, "You should listen to her and go to work!" ”
"Oh."
My sister died once?
How could she have fallen into the river of loaches? She's horrified to death on weekdays!
Forget it, don't want to, just come back to life, Cai Qifu let go of his hand that was pulling his hair because he wanted to be engrossed, stood up and walked out, called Cai Qihua, and the two brothers went up the mountain with axes.
