Chapter 169: Let's Call Them Two Wolves
Officials don't listen to this.
After searching the room, they found two ingots of silver on the table.
The panic visible in Wang's eyes was even more evidence of being caught by the official.
"What is this?"
Chen Xiaonian answered honestly. "Silver."
"Where did you get the money?"
"The money I earned."
The official stared at Chen Xiaonian and looked up and down twice, "You are a peasant woman, can you earn so much silver?" ”
Wang was even more anxious, but he couldn't think of any excuse for a while, so he could only repeat: "This is the silver my daughter earns, and my daughter may make silver!" ”
There were a lot of theater watchers in the village, and many people climbed the wall.
"In the competition between Ruyi Building and Fuchun Restaurant, I am a chef, and I won the competition, and Shopkeeper Liu gave me a lot of silver."
"My family often does business with Fuchun Restaurant, and each trip is at least a few tens of dollars, and over time, I have saved some."
"My mother also does some handicrafts, and a buyer has come to the door in person."
"I also rented a piece of land in Lianhua Village, and I just went to order revenue two days ago."
Ooh!
The people in the village were dumbfounded.
knew that Chen Xiaonian would make money, but he didn't expect to earn so much.
Everyone just heard about the competition, but the people in the village who won it were not present, but they didn't expect it to be Chen Xiaonian's ability.
Chen Xiaonian and Jian Erlang also knew about doing business with restaurants in the town, and they could earn at least a few dozen yuan when they heard it, and their eyes were red.
Everyone in the village has also seen a girl in a carriage from Chen Xiaonian's house, although she is dressed ordinarily but has an arrogant expression, she is not an ordinary girl in the village at first glance.
I didn't know that Chen Xiaonian had also rented land in Lotus Village, and he still had revenue to take!
The sum of these piles is indeed more than one hundred taels in front of me.
After asking clearly, the official errand made it difficult again, and he was about to leave after returning the silver to Chen Xiaonian.
Chen Xiaonian is not an ignorant person, so he took some broken silver and stuffed it into the hands of the official, and the official left satisfied.
Wang's tense body relaxed at this time, and he just raised his hand to pat his heart, but he was afraid that it would be too obvious, so he quickly withdrew his hand.
Chen Xiaonian just sighed lightly when he saw it, this kind of thing still can't be known to the Wang family in the future.
She couldn't hide it anymore.
As soon as the people left, the people in the village poured into Chen Xiaonian's house again, asking her about her money-making business.
The patriarch stepped on the door and entered, "Chen Xiaonian, you just said that you rented land in Lotus Village, what's going on?" ”
Chen Xiaonian said bluntly, "When I wanted to rent the pond, you didn't give it, but gave it to Chen Xiangwen's family, and I could only go and pick it up." ”
The patriarch choked.
"If you want to rent, you don't have to go to Lotus Village to rent, you do this, the people in Lotus Village still think I am bullying you."
Chen Xiaonian looked at it coldly, doesn't that mean that he was bullied!
has been bullying since she was out of business, and this morning she asked the official to search her house, what is it if she is not bullying?
"My family's business is all done by Erlang, and now that Erlang is not here, I don't dare to agree to everyone. Let's wait for Erlang to come back and ask. ”
Everyone in the village is counting on Chen Xiaonian to point and make a few bucks, but seeing Chen Xiaonian's face is not good, they can only leave first.
Aunt Song threw the melon seed skin in her hand, "I said earlier, except for Chen Xiaonian, no one can do fish farming." Look at Chen Xiangwen's family, they are all dead. ”
After such a sentence, a few people who did not end the scene remembered that many months ago, Aunt Song did say this.
Looking at Chen Xiangwen a few days after he came back, he tossed the pond well, I don't know where to buy some small fish, threw them into the water, said to prevent someone from stealing the fish, and set up a shed by the fish pond every night to guard, as a result, the fish died in three days, and the lost pants were lost.
And then there was the fact that Fang's tongue was pulled out last night, it was simply his family's retribution!
The patriarch stared at his carriage and asked, "Since Erlang is going to do business, why is your carriage still here?" ”
Chen Xiaonian replied calmly, "I am a person with a big belly, and it is inconvenient to go out and walk, so my husband is sympathetic to me, so he left the carriage for me." ”
After a pause, she added: "The carriage is not borrowed, my family needs to use it myself." ”
The patriarch's face darkened, and he turned around and left.
The official sent back to the yamen to resume his life, and the old man of the Chen family sent it away.
Old Madam Chen walked out of it and snorted coldly: "It's really a toss." ”
"Mother, why did you get out?"
The old man of the Chen family hurriedly stepped forward to help, and the old lady Chen sat down and gently knocked on her legs and feet, which had made the old mistake again.
"Did he really do it?"
The old man of the Chen family frowned, "Who else is there besides him?" Fortunately, no one in the court has come recently, and when the time comes, a random notice will be issued saying that it is the northern refugees who did it. ”
Old Madam Chen glared, "You were sentenced like this?" ”
"How dare I judge his family's affairs!"
Old Madam Chen had nothing to say.
I suddenly remembered what Mo Jue had said to herself before, her son, is not the material for her career.
Old Madam Chen looked at her son in front of her a little helplessly and sighed.
She spent so much money for her son to buy this official, is he really not a climate?
Two days later, the official errand came again.
When everyone heard that it was the northbound refugees who did it, they were so frightened that they quickly locked up all the valuable things in the house when they returned home.
Chen Xiangwen's family was not convinced, and pulled the official master to insist that the person who did it was Jian Erlang.
The official removed Chen Xiangwen's hand and patted his clothes in disgust.
"There has been a lot of fighting in the north recently, and there have been a lot of northerners in the town earlier. Maybe your mother is too flamboyant, maybe she will be hated when she scolds her.
The official sneered, "Let's keep some virtue in the future." ”
After the yamen people left, the patriarch called everyone in the village and explained some problems of self-preservation.
"Chen Xiaonian, your wealth will not be exposed, your family will be more low-key in the future, don't cause trouble to the village at that time."
Chen Xiaonian rarely didn't talk to him, nodded, and went home early.
That afternoon, when Wang came back from outside, he picked up a half-grown puppy, found a rope, and tied the puppy to the yard.
"Mother, where did you pick up the puppy?"
"The village next door. The third aunt hugged one, and I hugged one. When I saw Erhu's family just now, I also asked them to go over and hug one. Now that the north is in turmoil, we orphans and widows have to find a caretaker, don't we? ”
The smile that Chen Xiaonian was still hanging on her lips just now dimmed, and the Wang family saw that she was unhappy, so she realized that she had said the wrong thing.
Led the puppy to her, "You don't like to talk during this time, so it's better to bring you a companion." ”
Chen Xiaonian touched its little head, "Have you chosen a name?" ”
Wang shook his head, "What's so good for a dog." ”
Touching the dog's head, she laughed again, "Then you can call it the second wolf." ”
