Chapter Seventy-Eight: The Qian Family
After a delay of nearly a month, the crabs raised by Wen Wan have been taken care of by the mute and the Feng family, and only the accounts have been reviewed by Wen Wan herself.
On this day, Lin Yuan recovered from his injury, and the couple went to Shen Mo's house to thank him, and then drove to Wanxianglou to deliver the last batch of crabs. When Shopkeeper Shen accepted her thank-you gift and handed her a heavy bag of silver with a smile, she shook her hand and took it, almost thinking that she hadn't woken up yet.
Dizzy and climbing into her own carriage, Wen Wan couldn't help but count the silver over and over again, before carefully putting it in her arms and squinting with a smile. In two months, all the crabs were sold for a full hundred taels of silver!
Lin Yuan has to work tirelessly, and she may not be able to get so much money if she works day and night for three months, she made the right bet! With this money, combined with the family's deposits, their family has saved two hundred taels of silver.
She sat in the car in a daze and giggled, twisting her fingers and calculating how to spend two hundred taels, not even noticing that the carriage had stopped unconsciously. When she came back to her senses and lifted the curtain, she realized that her carriage had long been surrounded by the crowd and could not move.
"What's wrong?" Wen Wan poked her head out and looked out.
Lin Yuan raised his chin sideways and pointed at Xu Ji Silk Village next to the car, and looked at it gently, his brows furrowed so much that he could kill flies.
She knows the shopkeeper Xu of the silk village, known as Xu Papi, don't want to take any advantage when doing business with him, if you don't lose it, you will burn high incense! I heard that even a swallow flew over the roof of his house, and he had to pluck a few hairs before he could walk.
At this time, he was grabbing Fang Jinpa and couldn't help wiping the sweat on his forehead, the fat all over his body shook violently with a snorting and panting sound, and his triangular eyes full of essence were full of anger: "Hit me!" Hit hard! ”
The cocked orchid fingers and sharp voice almost didn't disgust Wen Wan, even Lin Yuan tightened the reins in his hand and wanted to rush over, so Wen Wan stopped him: "Let's take a look first." ”
Lin Yuan frowned and nodded in response, watching as several men armed with thick wooden sticks surrounded a slender woman and beat her severely.
The woman rolled all over the ground, but she didn't say a word about what was on her chest, and let her back be beaten and bleed.
Seeing that the fight was almost over, Shopkeeper Xu waved his hand and shouted to stop, and took a sip of a teapot before the old god was laughing: "A blind man can embroider, don't you treat the world as a fool, right?" Take a mess and try to blackmail my money? Also seven taels of silver? Bah! I'm not afraid of the wind flashing my tongue."
The woman raised her head, her voice weak and indignant: "I don't sell you, I said I won't sell you!" What else do you want? ”
At a glance, Wen Wan was stunned again, she also knew this woman, wasn't it the blind woman who was arrested by traffickers with her!
Shopkeeper Xu squatted down, dragging the embroidery in her arms and smiled contemptuously: "Not for sale? How much business have I pushed and you are grinding here, and you just want to forget if you don't sell it? ”
He threw a few copper plates to the ground, snatched the embroidery from her bosom with a single lunge, held it in his hand and touched it again and again. Seeing that the woman was tightly pulling her robe, the shopkeeper simply kicked her waist: "Ten copper plates, two silver goods, don't come to me again!" ”
The woman dragged his leg and choked up: "It's too bullying! A villain who bullies the street and dominates the market, and buys and sells by force! Folks, let's judge for me! ”
There were circles of people gathered around, all pointing and pointing and showing unbearable faces, but no one stepped forward to help. Shopkeeper Xu is a well-known local snake in Shuozhou City, who dares to go up to find death?
Shopkeeper Xu looked around, satisfied and couldn't help but smile proudly with the embroidery in his arms: "Keep beating me, kill me!" ”
One stick after another fell, and the woman couldn't help but crawl on the ground and wail bitterly, although Lin Yuan couldn't bear it, but Wen Wan didn't speak, he could only watch.
"The embroidery is very good for anyone with a discerning eye, so let's just let others be bullied? Not to mention the color scheme on the top, even the stitch pattern is also a rare Lingxiu! In the end, he was soft-hearted, and he couldn't help but persuade Wen Wan.
Wen Wan shook her head and put the curtain down: "You still know embroidery?" Go home, Modo meddling! Let's not talk about offending the shopkeeper Xu, even if this woman bites us, we can't tell it all over our mouths. If no one else comes out, what are we doing? Don't forget why our village doesn't have one! ”
Don't blame Wen Wan for being careful, as soon as they left the house, the woman blocked up as if waiting for them, can there be such a coincidence? The two of them survived the two of the women who were arrested in the car, and now this person appeared on the street inexplicably, who knows whether it was intentional or unintentional.
It took a long time for Lin Yuan to sigh and drive the carriage back: "That's it, let's listen to you, be careful to make the Ten Thousand Year Ship!" ”
Wen Wan pursed her lips and laughed: "You are in charge of the big things in the family, and you can listen to me for such small things." ”
Lin Yuan muttered sullenly: "I haven't seen a major incident in the seven years of marriage, so you can treat me like a fool!" ”
After a while, Wen Wan followed Lin Yuan into the house. The couple closed the door and hid the money for a while, and then went to the stove room to eat chicken soup and wontons.
In this way, the days of the Lin family passed lightly for half a month, and when Wen Wan saw the blind woman again, she was outside the gate of her own courtyard. At that time, the woman had lived next door to her house and became neighbors with her.
Wen Wan blocked the courtyard door and saw her standing weakly in front of her with a plate of chestnut cakes, silent, not knowing how to react.
The woman held a bamboo pole and smiled implicitly in the direction of her with her empty eyes open: "My surname is Qian, and my husband's surname is Zhu." I just moved here a few days ago, and distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, so I hope the two families can move around often. ”
Wen Wan pursed her lips and took it, went to the courtyard to empty the plate and said politely to her: "Mrs. Zhu, go in and sit." ”
That Zhu Qian was stunned for a long time, and stammered: "Have we met?" You...... You were the ...... in the carriage that day."
Wen Wan nodded, about to speak. A green-clothed maid rushed out from next door and ran here with her skirt, and when she saw the woman standing well, she breathed a sigh of relief, and glared at Wen Wan again: "What people are worth coming to the door in person, just send the slaves of cats and dogs, and the people are crazy looking for you!" ”
Na Zhu Qian's face turned red and pulled her: "The house is stuffy, come out for a walk, and recognize the neighbors." ”
He apologized and blessed himself in the direction where Wen Wan was: "I won't go in, I'll bother you another day." ”
Seeing that Wen Wan was noncommittal, she turned around and limped to help the maid walk away slowly. The maid frowned and kept nagging beside her, but Zhu Qian only listened quietly, smiling from time to time, and the weak and lonely back made people's hearts slightly sour.
In the next few days, Zhu Qian went to the door a few times, either to send snacks or some small embroidered objects.
This Zhu Qian is also a wonderful person, although he is blind, his temperament is calm and cheerful, Wen Wan only needs to chat with her for a few words, and she is happy all day long. Because of this, Wen Wan gradually let down her guard and walked around with this Qian family. Seeing Lin Yuan, he couldn't help but shake his head, a woman's heart, a needle under the sea!
