Chapter 14: Returning to the Door
"If we don't want to, we won't go back!"
Su Ling wiped away his tears, shook his head, and said firmly: "No, we have to go back, if we don't go back, we will be gossiped ......."
Zhou Qi knew in his heart that for Su Ling, who was more traditional-minded, if she was not allowed to return to the door, I was afraid that she would be haunted in her life, but since he already knew Su Ling's experience, how could he have a good impression of her mother's family?
The two of them simply packed up and arrived at Jinfeng County before noon.
In Jinfeng County, as in the past, people who rushed to the market and sold goods abounded, and there was a small queue at the door of the strange goods.
"That strange house, a toothbrush sells for four taels of silver, and so many people rush over, I really don't know what these people think!"
"Don't you know? It was Liu Xiucai who bought a toothbrush yesterday, and he deliberately publicized it in the wine pavilion, so aren't there more people rushing there? ”
"Hey, this Liu Xiucai is really, after taking the exam, he did this kind of lack of morality, and he received five taels of silver for the famous post, and so many people followed him when he bought a toothbrush!"
Zhou Qi listened to the conversation of passers-by, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a light smile, this situation happened to be what he wanted to see.
He expected that the shopkeeper of Naqi Goods House would be jealous of this business with almost zero cost!
It must have been after he left yesterday that he found someone to rush out overnight!
And it's not just Qishangju, he believes that soon, this small toothbrush will set off a storm all over the city, and then I'm afraid that all the big and small vendors in the city will sell this toothbrush.
Toothbrushes are easy to imitate, and there are many merchants and people in the city, so only four are definitely not enough to demand.
Soon, all kinds of styles and prices on the market will be imitated.
Even, spread to a more prosperous and broader world!
……
The Su family in the east of the city.
The old man, Su Dafeng, had already learned the news of Su Ling's return to the city from the little girl, and he stood at the door at this time and looked at it with a blank eye.
As soon as the figures of Zhou Qi and the others appeared from around the corner, he hurriedly ran down the steps.
Trot all the way to them.
Seeing that Zhou Qi was holding his daughter Su Ling's hand, he directly beat him, and his round eyes even glared at him resentfully.
Then he turned Su Ling around several times, looking up and down, back and forth.
Immediately, he raised his eyebrows, his mouth seemed to be flattened, and a seven-foot man was aggrieved and aggrieved with tears, and kept saying in his mouth: "Lose weight, Xiaoling, you have lost weight......
But he didn't expect Su Ling to give him an answer, and immediately turned his head to look at Zhou Qi again, his face changed greatly, and he scolded at him: "You kid! I'm so cheap for you! ”
"Look you're starving my daughter! It's only been one day! I'm hungry and thin in one day! ”
Then he turned around and pulled Su Ling forward, and muttered: "Let's go, let's go home, this marriage is over, let's go home and live!" ”
Zhou Qi was stunned when he heard this, and stood in place in a daze, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.
Although the family is poor, the first breakfast is only a few grains of rice, but a day of hunger and thinness, right?
Reacting, Zhou Qi hurriedly followed, took out the things he had just bought in the bazaar, handed them to Su Dafeng, and said politely: "Hello Uncle Yue, the gift is a little shabby, don't dislike it......"
Just kidding, the daughter-in-law who just arrived was taken back before she could cover the heat, how can there be such a reason?
Su Dafeng, who took the thing, looked at the thing in his hand and blinked his eyes twice, and when he saw the exquisite box above the gift, he couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Forget it, let's go, hurry home!"
After speaking, he directly pulled Su Ling and walked in front, regardless of whether Zhou Qi followed or not.
When he arrived at the main hall, Su Dafeng had already opened the box and ate his favorite mung bean cake.
After he finished eating, he hiccuped contentedly, then looked at Zhou Qi, swung his body and said slowly: "It's still sensible, and I still know how to bring a courtesy ......when I go back to the door."
But immediately his face changed again, as if he had reacted to something.
"You bought these for the money from the sale of the jewelry I gave to Little Lingsai?"
Or Zhou Qi's house, where can I buy it?
When Su Ling heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and gestured to her father.
Zhou Qi saw it in his eyes, and his heart was full of bitterness, this girl, this girl came over like this in the past ten years?
No matter how well others treat her, whether it's bad or not, how aggrieved is it to be unspeakable?
Su Dafeng didn't believe it, but he still looked at Zhou Qi with disgust, and said, "You said you, you can't take the exam when you study!" If you have hands and feet, your family can still be poor like that! Anyway, my daughter is also married to you, otherwise you will go to business with me! ”
Without thinking at all, he blew the cowhide with some smugness on his face.
"Let me tell you, if you want to make money when I went south and north, the emperor wanted to buy my things, so I had to ask me first if I agreed!"
"Don't look at my current family is not too solid, more than ten years ago, I was also a well-deserved giant businessman!"
"You follow me, do something simple, don't say how much you make in a year, you will definitely be able to get a hundred taels of silver!"
"Heh......" A sneer came from outside the door from time to time.
A middle-aged woman full of wealth swayed into the door, glanced at the little newcomer, and said in a contemptuous tone: "If you want to engage in business, you have to weigh your own skills, a nerd like our uncle, aren't you afraid of losing your family?" ”
Zhou Qi had been paying attention to Su Ling, and when he saw her hearing this, he immediately lowered his head, and there was a trace of horror in his eyes, even if he guessed the identity of the person who came.
He didn't know it, he didn't get up, and only arched his hand towards Su Dafeng: "Thank you for your kindness, my son-in-law already has a plan in his heart." ”
Su Dafeng, like Zhou Qi, ignored the woman at all.
"You're still going to wait for that expedition? I said no, you can forget it, or real money is real, you look at my daughter's haggard face, you see that she hasn't eaten enough! ”
And the woman was not annoyed when she saw that no one paid attention to her, but sat down at the seat of the main seat, and said lightly, "Isn't there still the jewelry you have taken?" Where can you starve your daughter and lose weight? ”
It's okay not to say it, but as soon as he said it, Su Dafeng was angry, jumped up directly, and scolded in his mouth: "It's not a good thing that your mother-in-law did!?" The daughter of my Su family got married, she didn't have any dowry, she went out in a long jacket, and other merchants in the city laughed at us, but Lao Tzu didn't have any face at all! ”
The woman was a little speechless by what he said, and swallowed what she wanted to say.
For example, holding a banquet and taking care of the affairs of the inner house are handled by the housewife, but she already resents Su Ling, she is not happy to hold a banquet at all, so she has indeed lost face to the Su family, she is difficult to refute!
But her husband didn't leave her any affection in front of the juniors, and she was also angry in her heart, so she turned her head and turned her head at Zhou Qi.
"Uncle, who is so poor and sour, won't he have already spent the money and ask for money by going back to the door?"
