Chapter 23 Maintenance
The appearance of giving alms from above, Sheng Qingyuan only felt funny when he saw it.
"Let's go." Sheng Qingyuan said lightly.
Mrs. Sheng thought she had misheard, "What did you say?" Didn't you hear me all that I just told you?! β
Sheng Fugui jumped out again, pointed at Sheng Qingyuan and said, "We are doing this for your good!" What man would be willing to let his woman go out and show her face, and if it spreads, her face will be lost! β
There were a few girls here who helped Sheng Qingyuan, and after hearing his words, they couldn't help but hang their heads.
Sheng Qingyuan was able to take their words as a deaf ear just now, and didn't take them to heart, but at this moment, he was a little angry, "The same person with two hands and two feet, is there such a big difference between men and women?" Men can make money, but why can't women? How? Are you worried that women earn more than men, and you're afraid? That's why you have to oppose it like this? If you have the ability, regardless of whether the opponent is a man or a woman, you can do your own business well, and only useless people will use the difference between men and women to oppress people! β
"You, you, you, you, this is a fallacy!" Sheng Fugui was so angry that he couldn't speak, and he didn't know how to refute it.
When Aunt Sheng saw Shen Zhao coming over, she immediately said to him: "Shen Zhao, you are her man, you come here!" β
Shen Zhao said lightly: "What my lady said is right, only useless people are better than these." What about my wife going to do business? What kind of unreasonable thing is this? Who did she harm? I only see that with her efforts, many people in our village have earned more money than before, and they are living better than before, isn't that enough? β
In the end, Shen Zhao said loudly: "I only feel very proud to have such a lady, and I have to work harder, so that I can be worthy of such a good lady." β
The people who were still holding grievances for Sheng Qingyuan heard Shen Zhao's words at this time, and couldn't help but look at the little couple with a joking look.
The tips of Sheng Qingyuan's ears couldn't help but redden, and he glared at him lightly: "What are you talking about?" β
Shen Zhao looked at her with a shallow smile on his face, and said seriously: "I'm not talking nonsense, I'm telling the truth." β
The tips of Sheng Qingyuan's ears were even redder by two points.
Mrs. Sheng didn't expect Shen Zhao to be so partial to Sheng Qingyuan that she didn't make sense at all.
It's just that Mrs. Sheng still didn't give up, and said: "Even if you don't mind, but this kind of thing is known to others, and gossip is indispensable, so if you let Fugui help support the faΓ§ade, don't you have to worry about being gossiped about?" β
Sheng Qingyuan's face was slightly cold and said: "Why should I worry about others gossiping, every money I earn, I have a clear conscience, upright, I make money with my own ability, what can they say?" β
Seeing that she couldn't get her to agree after saying so much, Mrs. Sheng was completely impatient: "You can ignore your reputation, but we can't!" If we are also talked about because of you, you are unfilial! β
"Unfilial?" Sheng Qingyuan smiled coldly and asked rhetorically: "You have embezzled the money and land left by my father and mother, and have treated me as your maid for so many years, without a full meal or a good night's sleep, since you have not fulfilled your obligations as an elder, why should you ask me to be filial to you?" Moreover, your so-called unfilial piety means that I did not give the fruits of my hard work to your grandson in vain? Won't you blush when you say that? β
The other people present couldn't help but help Sheng Qingyuan speak one after another:
"If you haven't done anything, you want to take someone else's work for nothing, and if you don't give it, it's unfilial? Phew! I've seen shamelessness, it's the first time I've seen you so shameless! β
"What will Sheng Fugui do? Can draw? Or do you know how to do bamboo carving? I think give him an abacus, he won't fight! Put a ledger, he can't read it! β
Sheng Fugui was so angry that he was about to open his mouth to refute it, but when he saw the fierce and vicious old Zhang, he didn't dare to speak.
Lao Zhang stepped on the chair and rolled up his sleeves: "I'm here today, if anyone dares to trouble our host, it will be difficult to get along with my Lao Zhang!" I don't have any other skills, but I'm a good hand at demolishing houses and beating people. β
Pointing at Sheng Fugui and said: "A little chicken like you, believe it or not, Lao Tzu can beat you down with one hand!" β
He believes, where does he dare not believe.
Sheng Fugui was so frightened that his soul was almost gone.
Mrs. Sheng's face was pale, she couldn't help those individuals, and in the end she could only hit Sheng Qingyuan's body with her ideas, "Sheng Qingyuan, let me ask you one last time, do you give it or not?" If you don't give it, you will no longer be our Sheng family in the future! β
Sheng Qingyuan said lightly: "It is said that marrying a chicken is followed by a chicken and a dog is married, since I am married to Shen Zhao, that is the Shen family, the Sheng family?" Since my father and mother died, I haven't had anything to do with you. β
"You, you, you're so good! You are so arrogant now, there will be a time for you to cry in the future!! After Mrs. Sheng left a sentence, she left with a lot of anger.
Sheng Qingyuan turned around, and everyone comforted: "Sheng girl, don't worry, we support you!" β
"That's right! Owner, you must not be in a bad mood by this kind of person, let alone close Zhushanfang because of their words. β
"yes, yes, we're all counting on the owner."
Although Zhushanfang has only opened on the first day, there has already been a large order for Tianxianglou before, and Sheng Qingyuan has already paid them the money.
Coupled with the previous supply of sour bamboo shoots, although it is not comparable to the income of bamboo products, it is also a lot of income for them in the small mountain village.
Seeing that the days are getting better and better in the future, they naturally hope that it will go smoothly, not to mention, Sheng Qingyuan has no shelf, and the people are good, where can they find such a good and profitable owner.
Seeing that everyone comforted her, Sheng Qingyuan felt warm in her heart, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I am not angry, nor sad, and I will not close Zhushanfang because of this, I just want to tell you that if you don't eat the meat on your pot, you will be old." β
Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing.
The Shen family soon burst into laughter again, and the sound reached the ears of several members of the Sheng family who had not gone far, making their already unsightly faces even more ugly.
Back at home, Sheng Fugui had saved up a stomach in the Shen family and didn't dare to let it out, so he vented it all and kicked over the tables and chairs at home.
Aunt Sheng felt distressed when she saw it.
These are broken and have to be rebuilt, and the teacups on the table, eh, this is all money!
"Okay, okay, don't kick, don't kick, think of a way, do you really want to be ridden on the head by this dead girl?!" Old woman Sheng said irritably.
Sheng Fugui said: "She can open a store and earn so much money as a yellow-haired girl, I don't believe that I can be worse than her!" β
Aunt Sheng echoed: "That's for sure! What can that dead girl know, we are much richer than her! β
"Mother, grandma, you also go and get me a shop, and then invite a few people, you will definitely be able to make more money than that dead girl!" Sheng Fugui said confidently.
Mrs. Sheng's face was a little embarrassed: "This, how much does this cost?" Opening a shop in town, that's a lot of money, right? If you hire someone, you also get money. β
She didn't want to see Sheng Qingyuan so arrogant, and she also wanted to have such a profitable shop at home, but she didn't want to spend money, she just wanted to collect money.
"Wouldn't it be nice to just get a shop? How much can it cost to hire someone? Aren't all the people in Sheng Qingyuan invited by the village? No one in the village had seen any money, so they just gave a few and sent it away. Sheng Fugui said.
Seeing that Mrs. Sheng was still hesitating, Sheng Fugui continued to persuade: "Grandma, do you know Xiao Chen in the next room, how much silver he took this time?" β
"How much?"
"Two taels of silver!" Sheng Fugui said, and said: "Moreover, not long after he went to Sheng Qingyuan, he had two taels of silver, so how much did Sheng Qingyuan have to earn to give him so much silver?" β
Hearing this amount, Aunt Sheng was completely moved: "Mother, I think we can fight together, I don't seem to be so difficult, just sawn the bamboo, and then spliced it together, so it's okay." β
In the end, Mrs. Sheng was persuaded, took out almost all the money in the family, and went to pick a shop near Zhushanfang, Sheng Fugui found a few pig friends and dog friends on weekdays, anyway, they are all young guys, with sound limbs and can work.
A few days later, a bamboo shop called Fuguifang also opened.
Sheng Fugui thought very simply, they wanted to attract guests, as long as the price was cheaper than that of Zhushanfang, someone would definitely come to buy it, so they also deliberately explored the selling price of Zhushanfang.
The news that Sheng Fugui had opened a new bamboo products store soon reached Sheng Qingyuan's ears.
Li Gen said angrily: "Boss, do you want me to go and smash their store?!" β
"Leave them alone, we'll just do our own." Sheng Qingyuan had no emotional changes on his face, and he didn't take the opening of Fuguifang to heart at all.
Sheng Fugui used the price advantage to successfully attract a lot of guests, he looked at the guests on the side of Zhushanfang, there were obviously fewer people entering, and he couldn't help but feel proud.
He knew that as long as he made a move, Sheng Qingyuan would definitely not be his opponent!
However, he soon found that many of the people who came in only looked twice and left.
This situation made Sheng Fugui feel very puzzled.
Looking at it, I couldn't help but grab a person who had just come in and was about to leave, and asked, "What's the matter with you?" Why do you come and go? Why don't you buy it? β
The man looked at him and felt that he was very inexplicable: "Your things here are not good-looking, and there are only a few things, I can read them at a glance, and if I don't like them, I won't buy them." β
"The prices here are so low, do you still want to go to Zhushanfang to buy those expensive ones?" Sheng Fugui asked.
The man rolled his eyes: "It's cheap, it's cheap, but, like this stool, Zhushanfang sells for sixty yuan, and you sell it for fifty-eight yuan, which is just two yuan, but the workmanship of others is much better than yours here, am I still short of these two yuan?" β
After speaking, the man threw off Sheng Fugui and went to Zhushanfang.
Most of the others think this way.
For most of the opening day, there were many people who came, but there were few people who gave money.
When he heard that many people had left their place and ran to Zhushanfang again, Sheng Fugui was so angry that he smashed two more tables.
The guy was also lazy, glanced at it lightly, didn't take it to heart, anyway, it wasn't their thing, yawned, when did the sun go down, and wanted to go home for dinner.
Sheng Fugui ran to Zhushanfang with a snort, but as soon as he entered, people were dumbfounded.
He had always thought that Sheng Qingyuan was just a woman, and it was impossible to make a good shop to open a shop, so he didn't bother to look at it, but when he entered, he found that it was so big inside, and there were many people, and many people left happily with their newly bought things in their hands.
The more Sheng Fugui looked at it, the more angry he became, and kicked down the table and chair next to him: "Sheng Qingyuan, you come out for me!" β
