Wang hurriedly entered the hall, but did not see the figure of his in-laws, looked around in the front yard or not, and went into the backyard to find Grandma Chu who was feeding the chickens.

Wang had just found a circle of people, and now he had calmed down a lot, and when he saw that the girl in the third room was also there, he sent her away: "Xiuxiu, the eldest aunt and your grandmother have something to say, you go to the front yard to play." ”

It wasn't until Chu Xiuxiu's figure was completely covered by the house that she opened her mouth again: "Auntie, my daughter-in-law just looked for you, and I went around in front of the house and behind the house, why didn't I see Chu Yi?" ”

"I said I went to the next yard to find Chu Ping, what's wrong, are you looking for him?"

Wang was even more angry when he heard this, he didn't work honestly at home, delaying the coffin business, what did she use for Chu Ren to study: "If you don't work in the middle of the day, what can you do in the yard next door?" I'm afraid that I have earned some money and only cares about my own small business, regardless of the life or death of my family! ”

Grandma Chu didn't feel good in her heart some time ago, and she also talked to the old man, and was said a few words by Grandpa Chu, and recently got silver from Shen Luzhu, so naturally she will not sing about the business of her grandson and her grandson as before, and even she hopes that this transaction can be done for a long time!

Listening to the eldest daughter-in-law chattering for a long time, she didn't have anything to do, so she was a little impatient: "What the hell are you doing?" ”

Wang didn't hear Grandma Chu's impatience, so he only said to himself: "My daughter-in-law heard some rumors that the person who burned paper and passed away could really receive copper coins!" Ah Niang, isn't Shen a lie, how can you dare to make up any nonsense in order to make money? ”

Grandma Chu saw that she took Xiuxiu from the third room, and thought she had something big: "Just for this?" You also believe that the idlers in the village are foolish! ”

"What people can say has a nose and eyes, it must be the Shen family who deceives people in order to make money! And that Chu Yi, he ran out in broad daylight, isn't this delaying the work at home, why don't you care about Daddy and Auntie? ”

"Didn't you say it, Chu Yi went to find Chu Ping for something, what are you doing today, it's useless!"

Wang felt that his mother-in-law's attitude was a little wrong, didn't he say that Shen was blindly tossing and losing money, and Chu Yi, not that he couldn't delay the work at home, why did she become useless now when she said two words!

It's hard to see that Chu Yi and they have made money, and their hearts are biased: "Auntie! Our Chu Ren is a scholar, and he is a talented man! If you let people know that someone in the family makes money by deceiving people, they will be poked in the back! And Chu Yi is so idle, delaying the family to make money, why does your grandson still rely on to study in the town? ”

Grandma Chu can see that the eldest daughter-in-law is watching Chu Yi and his family make money, and she doesn't feel good in her heart, so she came back to find bad luck.

I didn't want too many people to know that Shen gave money, and there was nothing I could do right now: "Let's tell you the truth, Shen said that they would give three taels of silver every month to pay filial piety money, just to let Chu Yi rest for half a day every day, I estimate that she can't be busy on the other side of the paper money, so Chu Yi has to go over and work together, I will answer with your father!" In the future, you will not come back to talk about the paper money business! ”

Wang didn't expect that there was such a thing here: "Auntie! ”

"Mother, mother! Chu Ren doesn't need money to study in town? Three taels a month, not three wen, a year is thirty or forty taels, our family is not as good as before, where to get thirty or forty taels a year? Besides, you don't care how she earns the money, and you don't let us Chu Ren cheat, a cousin who has split up, if anyone talks about it, you won't scold it back? ”

"But ......"

"But what's the matter, who can stop people who want to make money, really force them to stop, what benefits can you get when the time comes? Don't talk about three taels, three pieces of burned paper don't have your share! ”

Grandma Chu's words, many of which were said by Grandpa Chu when he persuaded her that day, the old man was right, if the old Chu family wants to change their doors and live a good life, they can only rely on Chu Ren!

If he can read, they will confess, saying that making a coffin hinders Chu Ren, then divide the family, and go to the town to study for money, and they will give! But now the work at home basically depends on Chu Yi, which really makes people anxious, he works hard for a day, and grinds foreign workers for a day, but when they are reversed, they can't get anything!

In less than half an hour, the Wang family came in a hurry, and left a little dejected!

Uncle Chu thought that his mother-in-law might have gone to the old house, but he didn't expect to look like this after coming back: "What's wrong with you, but what did you say over there?" Did Shen contradict you? ”

"A-Niang said, let's not go back and talk about paper money in the future!"

When Uncle Chu first heard about the rumors in the village in early May, he went back to the old house once, thinking that he wanted to teach Chu Yi and his family a lesson, and happened to meet Shen Luzhu who was setting up a stall at the gate of the courtyard.

Seeing that someone really came to buy it, Uncle Chu was even more angry, if it weren't for the sake of face, he would have been eager to push away the person who bought the burning paper!

When Shen Luzhu was settling the bill, he caught a glimpse of Uncle Chu, seeing that his face was not good, he thought that there was something urgent, but before she could speak, he saw that the person had already taken two steps and rushed to the stall!

Uncle Chu finally waited for the man to leave, pointed to the copper coins on the cart and burned the paper, and asked in a rough voice: "This is what you have to do with that nondescript thing?" ”

It seems that there is no urgency, but to find fault, but today I don't know why it is not the uncle, but the uncle, seeing this, Shen Luzhu is not in a hurry, and slowly stands up, as if he didn't hear what Uncle Chu just said, and said hello: "Uncle." ”

didn't wait for Uncle Chu to respond, and sat back like no one, continuing to look at her stall, tidying up the burning paper for a while, and sorting out the money box for a while, as if he couldn't see the angry Uncle Chu!

Uncle Chu held back his words, and was about to have a seizure, but he was choked there again, saying no, not saying no!

It's not good to continue to entangle with Shen Luzhu, Uncle Chu had to temporarily suppress his anger and asked, "What about Chu Yi, let him come out!" ”

"Uncle, what's the matter? Chu Yi is making a coffin at this time, grandpa and grandma said, nothing is allowed to delay the work at home, do you want to tell me? Why don't you just settle the coffin money and see if grandpa and grandma can be accommodating? "I can't bully her, I want to find her family Chu Yi, but there is no door!

"You! You! Uncle Chu trembled and pointed at Shen Luzhu, "you" for a long time, and finally said a finished sentence: "You, you poor junior!" ”

"Thank you Uncle for the compliment!"

"Which is praising you! You guys just forget all these nondescript things, and go out to talk nonsense and deceive people, which business is like this! ”

Shen Luzhu's eyes widened, and he looked suddenly enlightened: "Oh! It turns out that the uncle wants to do business with us, this is ...... It's not impossible, but well, we've already set up the stall, and if the uncle really wants to buy shares, I'm afraid he will have to come up with some more money! ”

Uncle Chu didn't remember what he was going to say at all, and his thoughts completely followed Shen Luzhu: "Which one said that he was going to give you money!" ”

"Uncle is really joking, if you don't give money, who will let others mix in the business!"

Uncle Chu saw that after she finished speaking, he stared at himself without blinking, as if he was a joke, and now he was so angry that he couldn't say a word, his lips opened and closed for a long time, and finally he had to throw off his sleeves and leave!

Ben still thought that this time the matter was getting bigger, Daddy must have already known about it, and now he must have to take care of them, who knows that he will wait for this: "Auntie, she really said that?" What about Daddy? ”

"I can't lie to you, Daddy didn't see it, and it is the same thing to talk to Auntie left and right! Anyway, in the future, you just need to remember that Chu Ren has to use money to study, and they will honor their father and mother when they earn money, and we won't talk about the trading of paper money! ”

Uncle Chu didn't expect that his father and mother not only didn't care, but didn't let them say more, but what Wang said was right, if Chu Ren wanted to continue reading, they had to rely on the old mansion, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed: "That's it, in the end, it's a split family, they just toss if they love toss, if something goes wrong in the future, it has nothing to do with others!" ”

At this time, Shen Luzhu didn't know that because of the three taels of silver every month, the eldest uncle's family had been divided for a while!

Chu Yi has made five more sets of molds in the past few days, one set was sent to Zhao Chengna, and two sets were sent to Chu Pingna next door. The last two sets, when the stall was closed in the afternoon, the young couple sent them to the Shen family together, and demonstrated to the Shen family how to use the mold, and after dinner at the Shen family, they returned home together.

The yellow burnt paper and molds were all prepared, and the Zhao Cheng family, Chu Ping family and Shen family were also proficient in making copper money burning paper, and Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi were much easier.

In addition to the work of making coffins, the rest of the time is mainly in the stall and hoarding goods, Zhao Cheng, Chu Ping and Shen Erge, every day will send the finished copper money burning paper to the Chu family, Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu count the quantity, will settle the money on the spot, and then prepare new yellow burning paper for them to take away, such days have lasted until the end of June, the Chu family's empty house, enough to save a half room of copper money burning paper, and half a room of yellow burning paper!

The half-ghost festival in July, also known as the Zhongyuan Festival, is said to be open on this day, the souls of the dead will leave the underworld and return to the yang world, people will light lamps along the road after the sun goes down, lighting the way home for the deceased relatives, and every household will burn paper money and worship the souls of the dead!

From the beginning of July, in front of Shen Luzhu's stall, it was obvious that there were more and more people coming to buy paper money, seeing that Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu couldn't cope at all, not only Chu Xiuxiu and Chu Li, but even Chu Sanshu asked Chu Li to move a chair and sit aside to help!

Not only are there many people who come to buy goods, but the amount of money each household buys is much more than before, but in the five or six days, nearly half of the two kinds of burned paper that were hoarded before were sold, Chu Yi had to go to the town a few more times to buy goods, Zhao Cheng, Chu Ping and the Shen family, but also put down most of the work in their hands, and worked overtime to make copper money and burn paper!

The news of the long queue of paper money stalls in front of Chu's house soon reached the ears of Uncle Chu, although the two said that they would no longer mix with paper money trading, but in the end they still couldn't help but be curious, and deliberately ran to the door of the old mansion, and looked at it from a distance.

In the past, the Chu family shop did not sell paper money, and it was not that it had not had the Midyear Festival before, although it was inevitable that paper money was sold better than usual on days such as the Midyear Festival and the Winter Clothes Festival. But, this is too good, I don't know that the whole town thinks that everyone in the town has come to buy it!

It's a bit of an exaggeration to say that the whole town is here, but at least the people from seven or eight nearby villages should have come, this is still thanks to the previous two rumors, everyone knows that the Chu family in the mountain village is selling paper money, don't care if you believe in the mysterious rumor that copper money burns paper, at least you don't have to toss to the town to buy it!

Compared with Uncle Chu and Wang, the most shocking ones are Grandpa Chu and Grandma Chu! They can see it every day, the long queue outside the courtyard gate, and the stacks of paper money that keep moving out!

In addition to the shock, Grandma Chu now has an indescribable discomfort and regret, regret, I knew that I should have promised them at the beginning, if this is my own business, how can I worry about the money for the eldest grandson to study in the town in the future!
