Chapter 10: Forced Sale
Shen Zhao retorted coldly: "The money that Qingyuan earns with his own ability, every copper plate is clean, and if you can't earn it, it doesn't mean that others can't earn it." ”
"You, what are you fierce?" Aunt Sheng said crookedly, but her eyes didn't dare to look at him.
Those eyes seemed to be able to see through the deepest things of the human heart, and those calculations were invisible in front of him.
Shen Zhao looked at the two of them coldly: "If you want to continue spreading rumors here, we will ask the county order to determine who is right and who is wrong." ”
When the people in the village heard that they were going to see the official, they were a little afraid in their hearts.
Mrs. Sheng and Aunt Sheng glanced at each other, and finally left in a gloomy manner.
In the evening, Sheng Qingyuan left Li Gen to have a meal, most of the dishes were bamboo shoots, after Li Gen ate it, he knew that the bamboo shoots could still be made so delicious, and he also understood that her purchase of bamboo shoots was really useful.
Knowing that this little girl couldn't lose, Li Gen dug more bamboo shoots the next day, and at the same time deliberately told the rest of the village how much money he got for digging bamboo shoots.
The people in the village will be skeptical, and when they see that some people have dug bamboo shoots and got a lot of money, more and more people will get involved.
Sheng Qingyuan gave money simply, as long as the bamboo shoots dug up were available, he would give money immediately, without any delay.
This is not beneficial to the villagers, and everyone is naturally very happy.
The people of the Sheng family saw that more and more people around them were selling bamboo shoots to Sheng Qingyuan, and at first they slandered a few words, saying that Sheng Qingyuan must have dug a pit and waited for them to jump.
But the villagers don't care about this, they can get the money immediately, and they can get two more chicken legs for dinner, isn't this fragrant?
Slowly, the people of the Sheng family also began to be moved.
It's all money.
What can't you do when you have money?
But the people of the Sheng family were too lazy to run up the mountain to dig bamboo shoots slowly, and when they saw that some people abandoned the old bamboo shoots they dug aside, they moved their minds.
"You bamboo shoots, you can't do it." Li Gen's lady frowned and refused after reading the bamboo shoots sent by the Sheng family.
Li Gen's lady was not in good health and couldn't do heavy work, so after Sheng Qingyuan found out, he asked her to help check whether the quality of the bamboo shoots was qualified, and then gave a certain salary.
The work is not difficult, and there is money to get, which is really good for the Li Gen couple.
They knew that this was Sheng Qingyuan's kindness, and the couple became more and more motivated to help Sheng Qingyuan.
No matter who sent the bamboo shoots, don't try to fool around with Mrs. Li.
Aunt Sheng's face immediately changed: "Why do you say that our bamboo shoots are not good?!" ”
Mrs. Li explained to her seriously: "You look at the skin of this bamboo shoot, most of them are brown, and a large part of them have turned black, and there is almost no tender yellow that fresh bamboo shoots should have. ”
Subsequently, Mrs. Li showed her the cross-section of the bamboo shoots and said: "Look at the cross-section of this bamboo shoot again, if it is a fresh bamboo shoot, it should be in a tender white state, but these bamboo shoots of yours have turned black and dark." ”
Li Niangzi picked up a few casually, shook her head and said: "Look at these bamboo shoots, some of them have been obviously sunken in, and some of them are also obviously broken, these bamboo shoots are really too old." ”
The villagers who were preparing to sell bamboo shoots around them, after listening to what Li Niangzi said, subconsciously looked at the bamboo shoots in their baskets.
Second Aunt Sheng was speechless for a while by Mrs. Li's words, and her face was flushed.
"No matter, this is also the bamboo shoots I worked hard to dig, you didn't list your requirements for bamboo shoots before, I worked hard to dig it, you just said so, didn't this let me run for nothing?!"
This is going to be sold forcibly.
Mrs. Li didn't expect her to say it so clearly, Second Aunt Sheng was still thinking about selling it, but she didn't know how to deal with her for a while.
"Humph! Nothing more! Hurry up, give money! Aunt Sheng said in a smug voice.
"You can take the bamboo shoots you picked up home." Sheng Qingyuan walked out of the house and said in a cold voice.
Second Aunt Sheng snorted: "What, are you going to regret it?!" ”
Then he began to shout: "Everyone, you look at the bamboo shoots I worked so hard to dig, she said no, I don't want it, I have no credit and hard work, but because she had a dispute with her before, she is going to take the opportunity to retaliate now, we are still waiting for the money to eat, how can she be so ruthless!" ”
Aunt Sheng sat directly on the ground, beating her chest and crying.
The villagers who had just arrived looked at Aunt Sheng inexplicably and discussed in a whisper.
Most of the people in the village don't have much money, even if it's a dozen or twenty dollars, it's a lot of money.
Doesn't every family go out early and return late for such a small amount of money?
It's not easy to live.
Although Aunt Sheng is more spicy and calculating, it is also quite sympathetic to substitute it.
"Sheng girl won't do this." Mrs. Li was also anxious when she saw this.
This girl is such a good person, so many people, so much silver has been given, how can this person be missing.
The bamboo shoots she brought are really not good.
But she was stupid, and she didn't know what to do in the face of Aunt Sheng's sloppy behavior.
Sheng Qingyuan's face was cold, and he snorted lightly: "You said you worked hard to dig it up?" ”
"yes, that's a hard dig!" Second Aunt Sheng raised her head and said.
"Then tell me, when did you dig these bamboo shoots?"
"Just yesterday." Second Aunt Sheng's voice weakened a little.
"Did you dig all of this yesterday?" Sheng Qingyuan continued to ask.
"That's right."
As soon as Aunt Sheng's words fell, Sheng Qingyuan immediately retorted: "Nonsense! These bamboo shoots were dug up at least three days ago, and some were even dug up in four or five days! You didn't dig these yourself, but picked up old bamboo shoots that others didn't want, you really will be lazy. ”
"You, you're talking nonsense, what proof do you have that I picked these up?" Second Aunt Sheng was a little panicked, but she still tried to refute.
Sheng Qingyuan picked up a bamboo shoot, pointed to a crack on it, and said to a woman: "Aunt Lin, take a look, is this the one you gave me that day?" ”
The woman leaned in to take a closer look, then kept nodding, "Yes, yes, that's it." ”
As she spoke, the woman scratched her head a little embarrassedly, "That time I dug bamboo shoots for the first time, and I didn't know which ones could be used and which ones could not be used, or thanks to Sheng Yatou, although I dug a few that could not be used, they also gave me money." ”
"Yes, yes, when I dug for the first time, I also dug up one or two old bamboo shoots, and Sheng Yatou also gave money."
At that time, they didn't know much about digging bamboo shoots for the first time, and it was inevitable that they would dig up some useless ones, but Sheng Qingyuan gave them the money and told them what was applicable, and the probability of old bamboo shoots appearing later was significantly smaller.
"Then it's my first time, I don't know, so you have to count the money for me." Second Aunt Sheng said confidently.
Sheng Qingyuan said to Aunt Sheng with a cold face:
"First, you picked up these bamboo shoots, not you dug them yourself; Second, normal people dig bamboo shoots, how much can they still dig usable, you are good, all of them can't be eaten, what use should I come? Third, second aunt, you ask yourself, what did you do to me in the past years, since my father and mother went, I haven't had a full meal, and I just slept in the firewood room with a rag that you don't want. If you come with a good bamboo shoot today, I will naturally give you money, but you are blackmailing, please forgive me for not being able to accompany you! ”
Sheng Qingyuan's speech speed is not fast or slow, the words are clear, and they are loud.
Shen Zhao sat in a wheelchair, looking at Sheng Qingyuan, who was weak but spoke sonorously, and his heart moved slightly.
Such a small person seems to contain infinite strength, and his thin shoulders can carry a thousand pounds.
Such a person is really proud and distressing.
After listening to this, the people who were waiting for the bamboo shoot sellers did not waver, and they all helped Sheng Qingyuan speak.
On the one hand, what happened to Sheng Qingyuan, the Sheng family did too much.
On the other hand, Sheng Qingyuan is now their God of Wealth.
On the other hand, the people of the Sheng family are shameless and want to pay back the money they discarded?
They dug so hard, but the Sheng family wanted to get something for nothing?
Bah!!
It's beautiful to think about!
"You're so shameless!"
"That's it, if you want money, you don't want to dig it yourself, you can forget it!"
"As far as what you did to Sheng Yatou before, why are you embarrassed to come to her to ask for money, and if you want me to shrink into your own house and not go out."
"Sheng girl, let's leave her alone."
"That's it, you, hurry up and get out of here with you, don't delay us."
Aunt Lin had a temper, and even directly picked up Aunt Sheng and dragged her out, and the others threw her basket out together.
Aunt Lin comforted Sheng Qingyuan: "Girl, don't take that kind of person to heart, don't care about her." ”
"Okay, listen to my aunt." Sheng Qingyuan said with a smile.
The house is back in order.
Until the sun set, the people who came to sell bamboo shoots were similar, and Sheng Qingyuan left Li Gen and his wife to have a happy meal together.
In order to take care of Mrs. Li's illness, the situation of the Li family has not been very good, these days with money, Li Gen can also buy better medicine for the mother, the days are about to get better slowly, tonight an excitement, Li Gen accidentally drank a little more wine, when he left, a little drunk, put his arm on Shen Xiucai's shoulder and said:
"Brother Shen, you are really blessed, you can have such a good daughter-in-law as Sheng Yatou, if my kid can marry a daughter-in-law who can have half of Sheng Yatou's ability in the future, I guess I can wake up with a smile in my dreams."
Mrs. Li was embarrassed to hear this, and said sorry to Sheng Qingyuan: "Girl, your uncle just drank too much, don't take it to heart." ”
Sheng Qingyuan said with a smile: "Of course I have to take this to heart, Uncle Genzi is praising me." ”
Looking at the smile on Sheng Qingyuan's face, Mrs. Li couldn't help laughing: "You girl, it's really ......"
Mrs. Li couldn't help but sigh, what a good girl, why don't those people in the Sheng family know how to cherish it?
After Li Gen and his wife left, Shen's father was also visibly happy, drank a lot of wine, and before going to rest, he also walked in front of Sheng Qingyuan and said: "It's the luck of our Shen family to have you in our family." ”
As he spoke, he walked in front of Shen Zhao again: "You, you must treat her well, you must not let her down, you know?" ”
Shen Zhao narrowed his eyes, nodded lightly and said, "I know." ”
Father Shen then went back to his room to sleep satisfied.
"I remember, Uncle Shen seems to have only had one drink?" Sheng Qingyuan looked at Father Shen, who had already fallen asleep, and was quite surprised.
Shen Zhao smiled lightly and said, "He can get drunk after half a drink." ”
Sheng Qingyuan: "......"
After packing up his things, Sheng Qingyuan took out the silver he had obtained these days and counted it carefully.
In the past few days, a total of eighty-three jars of sour bamboo shoots have been sold, and after deducting the remuneration to the villagers, there are still four taels of silver left.
Sheng Qingyuan's mind immediately had the whereabouts of the four taels of silver.
Looking at Shen Zhao's legs, after a while, he could try to walk on the ground, and he should get him a pair of crutches.
