Chapter 79: People Always Look Forward
Chen Jian'an was annoyed, "Let's go!" Let's go to the Yamen! ”
Aunt Lin hugged her tightly, "I'm not going, who knows if you have bought off the Yamen's catch!" ”
Chen Jian'an was amused, he had never seen a woman who couldn't speak so much, and pretended to go out, "Don't go, wait for the yamen to come soon, you still say that." ”
Where had Aunt Lin seen such a battle, she was frightened, picked up the basket and ran, and didn't forget to scold a few words, "Bully the common people, you are not a good doctor, don't think that Wanbao Town is just one of your medical centers, I don't believe it, my medicinal materials can't be sold." ”
Chen Jian'an was even happier, "Coincidentally, this Wanbao Town is really our medical center." ”
Mu Jiu also watched the opera, and when he had sat enough, he left and went to the market.
The weather is getting cooler, and it's time to pull some rulers to make winter clothes.
The owner of the cloth shop was still enthusiastic, and when he saw Mu Jiu wearing a dusty autumn coat, he introduced Mu Jiu to several cheaper gray cloths.
Mu Jiu glanced at the cloth in the store roughly, and his eyes focused on the innermost piece of cotton cloth.
This is the best-looking fabric in a cloth store, "How much does this cost a foot?" ”
"Twenty cents." The boss smiled so much that he couldn't see his teeth, and hurriedly moved the fabric out and showed it to Mu Jiu, "The girl really has an eye, these fabrics only came back from the county seat today." ”
Mu Jiu touched it and was a little disappointed, this place was too poor, and he didn't even sell a piece of silk.
In the cold winter, if you can wear a silk dress, light and warm, it is called comfortable!
But this place is the condition, Mu Jiu pulled six feet of pink cloth, six feet of dark red, six feet of lilac, and five feet of navy blue, and asked for some cotton, and then he left the cloth shop with a large bag.
Because the sack of cotton was a bit big, she simply carried the sack and went to the place where the car was hired.
Lin Laogou was waiting for the people who returned to the village, and when he saw Mu Jiu, he enthusiastically helped her put the cloth bag on the car.
There were also a few women who had come to the town to buy daily necessities on the ox cart, and they were not happy to see this, and they blamed Lin Laogou one after another.
"I said Lin Laogou, what do you mean by this, isn't she a customer? Why do you want to help her fight things alone? ”
"But no, an unfilial person, you actually let her get into your car, if it were me, I would rather starve to death than let such a person sit in my car."
Lin Laogou looks honest, but he runs back and forth between the town and the village every day, and his mouth is very slippery, and he immediately scolds back, "Then you die for me?" ”
"I said Lin Laogou, why do you talk like this, I'm not doing it for your good? If you let such a person sit in your car, won't you make your car dirty! ”
"You can't get dirty even if you've slept with a man, not to mention that you're still a little girl."
No matter how powerful the woman was, she didn't dare to answer indiscriminately, in case something was said by false rumors, they just jumped into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it.
The slap finally calmed down, and Mu Jiu chose a corner near Lin Laogou and sat down.
Aunt Mu Shishi was a thick-skinned person, and after saying bad things about her in front of Mu Jiu, she quietly leaned over to Mu Jiu, "I said Mu Jiu, what did you buy, such a big bag, did you get rich?" ”
Aunt Mu Shishi's tone was not bad, Mu Jiu: "It's too cold, my mother and I have no clothes to wear, so we bought some cotton." ”
"I heard that the price of cotton has increased this year, and I also want to buy a few catties back, but I am afraid that my family will scold me for spending money indiscriminately." Aunt Mu Fourteen stared at the sack with envy.
Without waiting for Mu Jiu to answer, the other aunts chattered.
"I said, what do you buy, don't you scold you for spending money indiscriminately? Your mouth is an iron rooster, only in and out! ”
"Hahaha, how many catties of flour do you buy and your family scolds you for being lazy?"
"I said why are you so afraid of your family, if you are me, what can you do if you don't give him the money you earn from selling vegetables."
"I said you won't give it to him, aren't you afraid that he won't go to your bed?"
A few of the aunts openly made color jokes.
Mu Jiu had a headache when he heard it, couldn't he restrain a little? There's another one here who hasn't married!
It looks like you'll have to buy an ox cart to run on your own.
In the future, when the pharmaceutical factory is opened, it will also have to run transportation, and it will have its own ox cart, and it will be good to ask someone to drive the car.
……
Seeing Mu Jiu carrying a large bag and a small bag to his home, Li Xiaotao's heart was dripping blood, "Jiu'er, isn't it a bit of a waste for you to buy so much?" ”
"Mother, it's cold, if you don't make two better clothes, we'll die of cold."
"But ......"
"Mother, no, but Jiu'er will make money in the future, and I will buy you better materials."
Li Xiaotao was full of happiness just by listening to it, anyway, she had already bought it back, and she couldn't return it, so she brought a needle and thread and started it immediately.
Mu Jiu has a pair of skillful hands, but she prefers to use them to sew skin rather than sew clothes.
So after throwing the fabric to Li Xiaotao, he went out.
"Mother, I'll go out for a while."
"Be careful, the people in the village haven't been very friendly to us lately."
"It's okay, I'll go and go back."
……
The forest landlord's house is located at the head of Mujia Village, with a large construction area, accounting for one-third of the village's floor area.
Now Mu Jiu has become a "celebrity" in Mujia Village, and the porter of the forest landlord's family knows each other, seeing Mu Jiu coming over, he came out to catch people without waiting for her to get close to the door, "What are you doing here, go quickly." ”
Someone stepped forward, but Mu Jiu was too lazy to walk, so he stopped, "Go and tell you Third Young Master Lin, just say that I, Mu Jiu, have something to look for him." ”
The porter snorted disdainfully, "Who do you think you are, my young master is what you want to see?" ”
"It's up to you whether you go or not, your third young master always has to go out, it's a big deal, I'll wait, but you, because you miscommunicated the matter of your third young master, I don't dare to guarantee how your third young master will deal with you at that time."
The porter hesitated, and finally decided to spread the word, this Mu Jiu Evil Sect has been very bad recently, and whoever is unlucky.
Lin Baosheng came out quickly, nervous, "Why are you here?" ”
"This is not the place to talk, you come over a little."
Lin Baosheng naturally knew that he followed Mu Jiu out of the hearing range of the gatehouse.
"Your second brother is the one who pays the workers?" Mu Jiu got straight to the point, "My mother has done thirty-five days of work for you, and your family has only issued forty copper plates. ”
Lin Baosheng, "Don't be kidding, my second brother's money is ...... against the number in the account book."
Lin Baosheng said with his mouth wide open and looked at Mu Jiu in disbelief, "You said that if I told my father about my second brother's deduction of workers' wages and filling his own pockets, would my father ......?"
"No, it won't." Mu Jiu broke Lin Baosheng's illusion, "Do you have evidence?" ”
This time, Lin Baosheng learned smartly, "I can use the account book to match the people who work, and see how much wages they have paid." ”
"And then?"
"Let them go to my door to make trouble, and my second brother's affairs will naturally be exposed." Lin Baosheng was overjoyed, "My second brother is too cunning, although that person testified that he instigated my eldest brother, but he just insisted that he hadn't done it, and there was no evidence, so I naturally didn't dare to stab him, and it also caused him to guard against me......"
"This is your family's business, I am here to ask for my mother's wages, one hundred and five minus forty, and your family still owes my mother sixty-five copper plates.
Lin Baosheng took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, "This can be worth a hundred dollars, you take it first." ”
He had cheated Lin Baosheng for a hundred taels before, and Mu Jiu naturally wouldn't be polite to him, "Really fake?" ”
Lin Baosheng, "......"
Molars! Calm down! Don't be angry!
"You took a hundred taels from me before, and you haven't done it for me yet!"
"Find a chance for me to meet your eldest brother, I need to confirm."
"Confirm what?"
"Make sure it's him."
In fact, it is to confirm whether he has the disease of the flower willow.
"Then you wait here, he happens to be at home today, I'll call him out."
Mu Jiu nodded, and found a place to stand at random.
Lin Baosheng came out again, followed by a man who looked a little similar to him.
This man's Yin Tang was black, his face was gloomy, his steps were vain, he didn't need to check his pulse, he just looked at it, and he could see that his condition had reached the point where it had to be treated.
After Mu Jiu knew what to expect, he turned a corner and went to the construction site.
The wall of ten acres of land is a huge project, which requires a large number of green bricks and labor, so Mu Jue hired a few more brick workers.
When Mu Jiu went, the ox cart that delivered the bricks came, Mu Jue was directing the small workers to unload the bricks, and several big workers were skillfully laying bricks not far away.
Seeing Mu Jiu, he trotted over, "Jiu'er." ”
"Grandpa Jue, how many days do you think it will take to build the wall?"
"If the weather is good, it will be half a month."
"Grandpa Jue has worked hard."
Mu Jiu walked into the house, the floor had been beaten into a flat surface with a flat hammer, ordinary people could do this, but Mu Jiu was unwilling to compromise, such a floor would be dirty when it rained.
So I spent a lot of money to customize a batch of large red bricks, which can be out of the kiln in two days and transported to lay.
The walls have been painted with fine lime mortar, and the house is filled with burning charcoal to dry the water on the walls, and the color of the lime is beginning to take shape.
Mu Jue walked in, "What's the matter?" Is there anything else that needs to be changed? ”
Mu Jiu smiled, "Very good, thank you Grandpa Jue for your hard work." ”
Mu Jue looked very happy, "Hey, Grandpa Jue has helped people build houses for most of his life, and it is the first time he has helped people build such a large-scale house. ”
Mu Jiu, "......"
Just be happy.
"But Jiu'er, you built such a big house, but you broke off the relationship with your grandparents, I'm afraid that you will ...... in the future" Mu Jiu wanted to speak and stopped.
Mu Jiu knew what he wanted to say, "Just say it, if a person is alive, no matter how good he is, someone will say it, so be it." ”
Mu Jue sighed, "It's good if you can figure it out, people always have to look forward, I'll go out to work first." ”
"If you don't have enough money, you can come back to me."
"Enough is enough, you have given me more than a hundred taels, and there are still twenty or thirty taels left!"
