She will definitely not take out the money to pay protection money, today and yesterday made a total of 140 yuan, but she has to keep 30 yuan as the living expenses of her three sisters and brothers, so she is only willing to take out 110 yuan.

But her attitude was very sincere, and she was a little girl from the countryside, so those who collected protection money didn't think that she was lying.

Yang Guoqiang took the handful of banknotes in her hand and returned her ten yuan: "Forget it, seeing that you are just setting up a stall here, I will only charge you 100 yuan for half a month, and these 10 yuan will be reserved for you to eat." ”

Several other big men all looked at Yang Guoqiang in surprise, thinking, how could the eldest brother be so tolerant of this little country girl?

Xiaoru hurriedly thanked him: "Thank you, Brother Yang." ”

Yang Guoqiang said disapprerovingly: "You're welcome, just look for me if you have something." Then he left with his subordinates. I can't help but look back at Xiao Ru when I walk out of the distance, it's really like!

The two peers who were looking for Xiao Ru'er in the morning were very frustrated, they thought that Xiao Ru didn't understand the rules, and they would definitely not give the money to those who collected protection money, and when there was a conflict, Xiao Ru would definitely suffer a big loss.

I didn't expect this dead girl to be quite capable, and she coaxed Yang Guoqiang's protection money well, and people even charged her less protection money!

After packing up her things, Xiao Ru led Xiao Jian to go home, Xiao Jian raised her head and asked her, "Sister, why did those people ask you for money, and you gave it to them?" ”

Xiao Ru looked up at the sky at 45 degrees and sighed: "Who told us that we have no ability to sell things on other people's territory, of course we have to pay others." ”

The society of that era was like this, Xiao Ru would not have a hard time with those who collected protection money, but when he thought of being frozen outside for the past two days, all the hard-earned money was handed over to the person who collected the protection money, and he felt a little sad.

In the afternoon, Xiaochu was not idle, went back to the county again, bought a hundred catties of rice and came back, and saw that Xiaoru's sister and brother were back, and said: "I was about to pick up the two of you, and the two of you will come back." ”

He took the things in Xiaoru's hand, sent her to the room, and then came out and asked, "How much did you sell today?" ”

Xiao Ru opened the snakeskin bag that was placed in the corner of the living room to contain vegetables, and poured out all the vegetables inside: "All the money I earned today has been paid for protection." ”

"Ahh If you want to pay it, you will pay it! Xiao Chu asked angrily.

Xiaoru dragged a small bench and sat in front of the pile of vegetables and picked out the spinach: "We can't fight this kind of evil force, people have paid the protection fee, we can't not pay, otherwise people won't let us sell it here, although the protection fee is a lot, but it can be earned back in two days, just do it for nothing, and then remove the rain and snow, the weather is not good, even if you can only set up a stall for 20 days a month, you can earn a small 2,000!" Don't let the small be the big one. ”

Xiao Chu didn't say anything.

I came back early today, and there was a fire in the stove, and when I was eating, the three sisters and brothers were not very cold around the stove, and then soaked their feet and then slept, but the thin quilt was still cold, and the three sisters and brothers squeezed together to sleep.

There were not many clothes left yesterday, and she got up early the next morning, and Xiaoru took the two Xiaochu brothers to Hanzheng Street with her to buy goods.

It was already more than ten o'clock when I came back from the finished goods, and there was a lot of traffic on the street, so I could set up a stall, so the three sisters and brothers went directly to the place where they set up a stall yesterday.

The two sisters and brothers were hanging their clothes on the shelves, and Liu Dayong ran over: "You guys are out of the stall today later than yesterday." ”

"Uh-huh." Xiaoru hung a piece of tweed clothes on the hanger and asked, "Brother Dayong, do you set up a stall here to pay protection money?" ”

Liu Dayong said: "I paid it, 100 yuan a month, why, someone asked you to pay protection money?" ”

"Well, I paid a hundred yuan in half a month!" Xiao Ru ripped that tweed coat and hung it on the shelf.

Liu Dayong said: "This protection fee is collected according to how much you earn each month, like you earn more every month by selling clothes, so the protection fee is charged more, all like this." ”

Xiaoru nodded to show that she understood.

Liu Dayong handed Xiao Ru a snakeskin bag again: "There are some pickles and a few eggs in here, and my mother asked me to give you food." ”

Xiao Ru smiled embarrassedly and took it: "Thank you Aunt Jiang for always thinking about us." ”

gave Liu Dayong the empty snakeskin bag that contained vegetables yesterday, and Liu Dayong took the bag and went to set up a stall.

Xiao Chu set up a stall for Xiao Ru and went to the county town to buy noodles and flour, and there was half a month before the New Year, anyway, he was free, Xiao Ru asked him to go to the county to play some New Year's goods back, although the travel fee of two yuan, but the things in the county are cheap, and they are still saved.

Today's business is a little better than yesterday, and I made 80 yuan in the morning, probably because the closer to the end of the year, the better the business.

When Xiao Chu came back from shopping in the county, Xiao Ru went home to cook, and made three dishes with the sauerkraut and eggs that Liu Dayong brought today and the leftover vegetables from yesterday.

The days went on step by step, and in the blink of an eye, a week passed, and basically Xiaoru would earn more than 150 yuan every day.

Xiao Chu went to the county town for two days of New Year's goods, almost bought all the things that should be bought, idle and bored at home, saw the demand for live chickens and ducks in the Spring Festival vegetable market, so he went to the countryside to sell chickens and ducks, and by the way went to Aunt Jiang's house, and all the chickens and ducks that were fostered in her house were caught and sold in the city.

Aunt Jiang also put all the eggs and duck eggs from his chickens and ducks in a basket and let him take them to the city.

Xiao Ru kept those eggs for the New Year, and the duck eggs were all pickled.

Since separating from the Lin family, Xiaoru has earned seven or eight thousand yuan in her hands, and she plans to buy a house in the city for her brother and sister to live in while doing business after the beginning of the year.

In addition to the money to buy a house, Xiao Ru deliberately asked Xiao Chu to buy three catties of fat, ten catties of pork belly and a few pairs of large intestines back, and asked Xiao Chu to go to the mountains to pick up the eldest sister Xiaoruo and live a few days with them.

A few days ago, Liu Dayong deliberately reminded Xiaoru to take Xiaoruo over, saying that now that the farming is idle, there is no work to do at home, and at this time, it is definitely agreed to take Xiaoruo back to her parents' house to live in Liu's house, because it can save a little food.

Xiao Ru thought to himself, Liu Dayong must have a good intention when he said this, he is not a gossip person, it is impossible to be like a woman, his mind is so delicate, he and Xiao Ruo are in the same village, and he must have heard some rumors about Xiao Ruo's bad life in her mother-in-law's house, so he reminded her so tactfully to take Xiao Ruo over to live.

Xiao Ru couldn't leave, Xiao only was making up classes again, so Xiao Chu could only pick up Xiao Ruo alone.

Xiao Chu successfully picked up Xiao Ruo.
