176: A chance encounter in the county seat
As soon as Du Chunxia heard Mrs. Feng ask about the rabbit skin, her aunt shook uncontrollably, and walked to the stove room without daring to say anything.
She wanted to leave, but Mrs. Feng wouldn't let her go. Seeing that Du Chunxia was about to leave without speaking, she immediately shouted, "Why are you leaving, didn't you hear what I said? What do you do with ears? You say, did you steal it and sell it? What about money? Give me the money."
Li Yougui saw that his mother crackled and beat Du Chunxia like a cannonball, he was very helpless, and hurriedly shouted: "Mother, it wasn't Dagang Niang who took it, I sent the rabbit skin to the county, and when I sent the duck to the county restaurant this morning, I went to the fur shop by the way, I put the rabbit fur in the shop and sold it on consignment, and I will go to see if it is sold in a few days."
"What? You've sold them all?" When I heard that I was sold, I was anxious, because they hadn't given her the money from the sale, and I didn't hear the word consignment at all, so I was worried about the money, "What about the money? Where did you put the money?"
"What's the money?" Li Yougui looked at his mother and asked.
"What else can you have for the money, where did you put the money from selling rabbit skins?"
"They haven't been sold yet, where am I going to get you money?"
"Didn't you say it was sold?"
"I'm talking about consignment!" Then he explained, "I wasn't thinking I could sell it for a few more bucks. In his shop, I gave him two pennies for his hard work after he helped me sell it, and the rest was ours. The shop can also directly accept rabbit fur, but it is much cheaper, almost ten pieces and he only gives me fifty yuan, but I heard that rabbit skins can be sold for ten yuan a piece, isn't this a big loss?" Li Yougui made excuses for everything he thought of before, and he still complained a little in his heart that the old lady was unreasonable.
Hearing this, Mrs. Feng figured it out a bit, "Have you asked a few more? Don't just go to one house, you don't know if you're fooled."
Li Yougui was a little unhappy, "How old am I, I don't know this, if I don't know anything, how can I catch the rabbit and come back, and how can I shave the skin?"
"Okay, okay, you know." Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Mrs. Feng stopped talking nonsense, but asked other questions, "Then how much do you sell it for?"
"I haven't sold it now, and I don't know how much I can sell in the end, so I only told my boss that it can't be less than ten yuan." Li Yougui continued to talk nonsense.
Mrs. Feng counted the rabbit skins, a total of ten rabbit skins, which means that they can be sold for a hundred yuan, so in this comparison, she found that it is indeed more cost-effective than selling for fifty yuan, "You can also use this method, then don't forget to go to the county shop in a few days to have a look."
"I know, I'll go see it when I'm done with the past few days."
Mrs. Feng was worried about a hundred yuan in her heart, and he was afraid that Li Yougui would hide some money in private and not give it to her when he went to get the money in a few days, so on the third day, he went to the fur shop in the county to inquire about Li Yougui's consignment.
I went to the first one, and I asked how much a rabbit fur cost, and the boss was also a snob, and when I saw Mrs. Feng, who looked shabby, she was ridiculed, "Yo, could it be that the old woman still wants to wear clothes made of rabbit fur?" This rabbit fur is also to be graded, do you want that grade? Our best rabbit skin is the prairie rabbit, with long hair and good warmth, a tael of silver a piece, how many are you going to want?"
Feng Pozi's words were frightened and immediately shut up, but when he thought of his rabbit skin that he hadn't asked yet, he was unwilling, "I'm not here to sell ......."
Before he finished speaking, the boss coaxed, "Let's go, don't buy what you are doing in my store, I don't have the money to send Hanako!"
Mrs. Feng was also angry when the boss called Huazi, but she didn't dare to shout and scold as she was at home, but she said unhappily, "Who is called Huazi? Why are you like that?"
"What's wrong with me? If you don't sell anything, if you don't leave, do you want me to stay with you for dinner?"
"It's not that I don't have anything to eat, who rarely eats your food, I just want to ask you something, and I won't rely on you, why do you just pick people up?
"What do you ask? I didn't tell you, I told you, a better rabbit skin is a tael of silver, but you said that you didn't come to buy something, you said, you don't buy things and you come to me
What do you want to do?"
"Let's go, don't delay my business." The shopkeeper was very impatient to pick up people, this year there are really everyone, so that Hanako knows how to play tricks, knows to wear a bad clothes, take a broken bowl to the door to ask for food and be picked up.
The mother-in-law was blasted out without asking anything, and she was very unhappy, but no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to do anything to people, even if she didn't dare to speak loudly.
When he went out with his mouth pouted, he muttered and complained, "You deserve to have no business to come to the door, you are the one who begs for food, called Hanako, your whole family is stinky and begging for food, I curse you for not being able to sell anything every day, you can't afford to eat, and a whole house of people go to beg for food, starving you......
"Aunt Feng, what are you talking about!"
Feng Shi turned his head to look in the direction where the voice came from, and saw that it was Fan Dali, "I didn't say anything!"
Although Chen didn't hear every sentence clearly, he still heard one or two sentences, knew that she was scolding people again, and guessed that she was scolding Du Chunxia, "Auntie, who are you going to starve to death? Da Gangniang provoked you again?"
After a pause, he continued, not giving Mrs. Feng a chance to speak at all, "I said Aunt Feng, your father and mother are very powerful now, they are all making money in the workshop, and the people who make money are hard-hearted, I'm afraid they won't listen to you as much as before!" You have to take your breath and endure it a little longer, otherwise they won't care about you in the future."
When she said this, Feng immediately said: "She dares not to listen to the old lady, if she dares to disobey the old lady, the old lady will serve with a big mouth."
"Auntie, don't be impulsive, she is earning money now, and the Han family supports her, not to mention the Han family, it's Mo Ziyun's cunning appearance, I'm afraid that I will say a lot of bad things about you behind my back, you see that your Dagang is not being provoked by them to listen to you now." Chen continued to provoke, and Feng went back to make a big fuss and vowed not to give up.
"Dagang is following her to read, and now he can write and read." Speaking of Li Dagang's ability to read, Feng still had a smile on his face.
"It's not that easy to read! If you can read a few words, if you can write a few words, you can read, and who spends money to go to the academy, it's not a way they came up with thinking that you would help their family."
"This person knows people and faces, but doesn't know his heart, he looks honest, and he has a bad stomach in his back, if he can really teach people to read, what does she go to the school to do? I think that's fooling you."
Feng didn't like Mo Ziyun in the first place, since Li Dagang followed her to study, he often quarreled with her, saying that she was not right, that was not right, every day before and after Sister Wanyun, she was annoyed when she heard this name, which would be provoked by the Chen family, so she spat out, "You're right, I used to see that they didn't have a good time in the house, who in the village didn't sympathize with them, and everyone didn't help them in anything, they were good, they didn't remember how good the village was to them, but now they instigated my family Dagang to not listen to me."
"Dagang is a male baby, and it's normal to be naughty, and when he grows up, he's sensible, and it's not right to say that he's not sensible, he used to be very close to your grandmother, but he's very sensible. On the contrary, I am studying with Mo Ziyun now, and I still don't listen to you."
"My family Duoduo also went to study in the school, and came back and told us that Mr. taught them not to talk back to their elders, but to listen to their elders."
"Aunt Feng, you have more eyes! Don't let your baby be taught to disown you!"
"She dares! If she dares to teach me Dagang, I will go to the village chief's house and sue them." Feng was provoked and became angry.
"The village chief is now wearing a pair of pants with the Han family's Mo family! But don't worry, auntie, as long as you let Dagang not go to the Mo family to study, you will definitely not be disobedient, my family Duoduo was still saying two days ago that he and your Dagang played well, if only they could go to school together."
"I want Dagang to go to the academy too, but the family really can't afford to send him to the academy." Feng frowned and said, the little money he saved can't be used, this is his own pension money, and he can't move when he falls on the bed in the future, with money, his son and daughter-in-law can run faster and take better care of themselves.
"I know my aunt's heart for Dagang, if the stars in the sky can be plucked, you are afraid that you will have to pick them for him."
"You still know me!"
"We are all from here, we all want to be nice to the baby, our butcher stall business is good these days, and we have saved some money, if my aunt plans to send Dagang to study in the school, I can lend this money to my aunt when the time comes."
"You also know what the situation is in our family, I don't have much money to send him to the school, even if you are willing to lend it to me, I am afraid that I will not be able to give it back to you in the future."
"Auntie's words are out of sight, now Dagang's father and mother are making money, and the luncheon meat is selling well."
"No matter how good it sells, it's not your own, what's the use!"
"My aunt is also going to sell it, and it's not her own."
"How am I going to sell it? I don't even know what to do." Who doesn't want to make money, if you don't want to, you won't come to the county today to ask about rabbit skins, even one hundred wen is afraid that Du Chunxia will hide it, and it will be even more blushing to sell luncheon meat to make so much money.
"Auntie doesn't know, just ask Dagang's father and mother, you are their mother, what are they bad to tell you."
"Besides, I can earn a lot of money by helping people, and it is better to earn it myself than to have this craft, but unfortunately I don't have this opportunity to help in the workshop, otherwise I would definitely make my own luncheon meat to sell." Chen looked at Feng with envy, as if Feng could make luncheon meat.
"How people make money, why are they talking nonsense." The words are good, but in their hearts, they firmly remember what Chen said, and when they go home in the evening, they must ask Yougui and Dagang Niang.
