Chapter 0026, the Jiao family's carriage
Qiao Erjing had work in his eyes, and when he saw his mother standing at the gate of the courtyard for a long time, he wondered if his mother had a job to do, but he was too tired, standing there and thinking about what to do.
He took the initiative to walk over and ask, "Mother, what do you want to do, I'll help you?" ”
Xiao Qing saw that Qiao Erjing was holding a file and a hammer in his hand, and smiled: "It's okay, I'll just stand here for a while and take a look at Yaoshan!" ”
Qiao Erjing nodded and said, "Okay, then mother, what's the matter with you, just ask me and Xiaolan to help you." ”
Xiao Qing smiled and nodded.
Qiao Erjing was about to go back to the yard to continue making a bed when he heard the sound of horses' hooves on the village road.
He looked in the direction of the dust, and saw a carriage speeding over, in Yaoshan Village, the only person who could have a carriage at home was Jiao Pinliang's family.
And at this time, when the Jiao family returned to the village, there was only one thing, and that was to send leftovers.
Every other day, the Jiao family would bring the leftovers and leftovers from the Yueju Inn back to the village.
In the past, some of the old people in the village were old, and most of the old people fled to this side, and those who had no children and no daughters relied on Jiao Pinliang's kindness to support them.
As the old people grew old one by one, the leftovers of the Yueju Inn were distributed to the villagers in the village, until the Yueju Inn reached Jiao Pinliang's eldest son Jiao Shuo, and the nature of the leftovers distributed to the villagers changed.
Most of the leftovers removed from the banquet were sold to the villagers at half of the original price, and the leftovers from the jet lag were given to the villagers for a few pennies.
The villagers can eat a meal of leftover mutton and fish a year, which is already satisfied, not to mention that at half price, a few pennies can be eaten, everyone in the village wants to buy, and in the long run, the leftovers of the Yueju Inn have a lot of income.
Xiao Qing had to admire the brains of Jiao Pinliang's family, he was able to turn favors into business, and he was worthy of being the first person to support the Jiao family by himself.
However, because someone buys it, he will sell it, if the people in the village, no one is greedy for small gains, and does not buy the leftovers that others eat, he can't sell them if he wants to, but is this way of making money really right? Isn't it a lack of morality? If something is not clean in the leftovers, something may happen to the food!
Qiao Erjing glanced at the carriage and threw a roll of his eyes to the carriage, and said with disgust: "Yueju Inn has returned to the village to sell food to the people of Yaoshan Village, and there has been a great drought for many years, and it is still cheating the village money, and this family has made a lot of money." ”
"Your second uncle's black-hearted money is no less than that of the Jiao family!" Xiao Qing covered his mouth and said.
Qiao Erjing was stunned when he heard it: "......"
Makes sense!
The two watched as the carriage drove past them, and when they entered the village, the speed of the carriage was not so fast.
They were watching the carriage enter the village, when the carriage stopped, and a man leaned out of the carriage to look at them.
Xiao Qing didn't care what they were looking at, people in the same village, even if they met in the county town, the Jiao family brothers and sisters would pretend not to see them, and they wouldn't take the initiative to talk to them in the village, so she thought that the Jiao family got out of the car either because of three emergencies, or something was dropped.
Qiao Erjing would not even think that the carriage stopped to have anything to do with them, how could the family of such a rich family look down on people like them who can only sleep in a grass hut, they have a big house in the county, not to make black money, so they will not come here.
The person in the car looked at it for a while, and shouted: "Hey, hey, is it Qiao Erjing's family?" It's Qiao Erjing standing at the door, right? ”
Qiao Erjing thought that he had heard it wrong, but he didn't expect the people in the car to shout twice.
He hesitated for a moment and responded: "Oh, yes, are you Brother Jiao Shuo?" ”
Jiao Shuo stood in the carriage, looking at the dust on the ground, and originally wanted to get off the carriage, but retracted his feet.
"It's really you!" Jiao Shuo held the frame of the car: "Qiao Erjing came over with you, you come here, I have something to ask you!" ”
Qiao Erjing didn't know what Jiao Shuo told him, he didn't remember what to say between them.
When he walked to the carriage, Jiao Shuo asked, "Qiao Erjing, I remember that you borrowed my ink fountain two days ago and haven't returned it, is there still ink in the ink fountain?" ”
It turned out to be this, Qiao Erjing remembered that he borrowed the ink fountain from the Jiao family, and wondered if he had borrowed it for several days and delayed their use, but he asked Uncle Jiao to borrow it, how did Jiao Shuo know about it? He doesn't come back very often.
"Yes, Brother Jiao Shuo, are you in a hurry to use it?"
When Jiao Shuo heard that he was still here with Qiao Erjing, his face immediately changed: "I said Qiao Erjing, how do you borrow other people's things and don't know how much money you have to pay, do you know how much money you have to pay for the ink in this ink fountain?" If your family eats wild vegetables and lives in a grass hut, how many years will it take to pay it back? ”
Qiao Erjing looked confused, he just borrowed their ink bucket, why did he have to pay back the ink money, Uncle Jiao didn't say let him pay it back!
"Brother Jiao Shuo, will I return the ink fountain to you when I go back? Uncle Jiao didn't say that he wanted to pay back the money, why did you ask me to pay back the money, why don't I understand? ”
Jiao Shuo saw the fat woman behind him coming over, he looked bored, he really didn't want to say more to them, Lao Qiao's family counted on wanting to climb relatives and friends every day to beg for food from the people in the county, and they were the only ones who put shamelessness on their faces.
"Qiao Erjing, don't you understand? Then I'll be clear! He took out a handkerchief from his sleeve and wiped the sweat on his head: "Qiao Erjing, do you know how much a bucket of ink you use?" More than 100 yuan, who would lend you such an expensive thing to use, and let you use it up for free? You can use the ink line, the ink fountain, and you have to give us the money! Otherwise, you go with me to the Yueju Inn to wash the dishes, sweep the floor, and leave when you will pay back the money, hum! ”
Where did Qiao Erjing think that the Jiao family was so calculating, and when he borrowed it, he didn't say that he wanted to repay the ink money, more than 100 Wen? Which bit of ink is more than 100 words? Grab the money!
He asked anxiously: "Brother Jiao Shuo, when you borrowed the ink fountain, ......?"
Jiao Shuo didn't give him a chance to speak, he saw Qiao Erjing's mother come to him with an order: "You don't talk nonsense, if you don't pay back, go work with me!" Hey fat lady! He looked at Xiao Qing very impatiently, pinched his waist and remembered what she did at noon, and said very unceremoniously: "Fat aunt, I called you kiss aunt...... Lao you remember, you are not allowed to sell dogwood noodles at the door of my inn in the future, my family is not rare with your dogwood, is it not good for you to stay in the village and slander Lao Qiao's family? Ran to the county town and wanted to have a relationship with my family? Ask our Jiao family for food with a cheeky face, fat aunt, your old man will save some snacks for Lao Qiao's family! ”
He went to the inn at noon, and heard Fang Qianming talk about the fat woman in Yaoshan Village, selling them with dogwood flour noodles, and saying in front of many guests that he had lost all the face of his Jiao family, who knew who she was, so he ran to the door of his inn to sell things without authorization, and the face of Yaoshan Village was lost by her.
"How did you talk with the surname Jiao?" Qiao Erjing saw that Jiao Shuo was disrespectful to his mother, and asked loudly.
"Why didn't you hear it just now? I'll repeat it again! Jiao Shuo stood on the carriage, staring at Qiao Erjing with a domineering look.
