Although the carriage came to pick up and drop off, although it was not spread more and more outrageous, the villagers still firmly believed that the Chu family's business must be getting better and better!

When Chu Fang heard the sister-in-law who returned to her parents' house say this, she felt uncomfortable again, and hurried back to her parents' house while the child was resting.

"Daddy, Auntie, what about you?"

Uncle Chu and his wife are tidying up the house in the wing room at the moment, and they are not much surprised when they hear Chu Fang shouting, the daughter has come back since the Spring Festival this year, and nine out of ten times she has muttered about the business of the old house.

Wang shook off the rag in his hand and walked out of the door of the wing: "Why are you back today?" ”

Chu Fang acted as if she hadn't heard the impatience in her mother's words, and just said her own: "Is it possible that Auntie hasn't heard of it yet?" The village has spread the word, saying that Chu Yi's two sons were taken by the big boss in the town to talk about business, and the car was sent by car, or a carriage! A-Niang, you say, what kind of business does this have to talk about, it must be a big deal if it is so exciting, how can all the good things be put on the stall by those two people! Why don't you catch up with Ming'er and go back to the old house to ask? ”

The more Wang listened to his daughter's words, the more mysterious they became, and they didn't believe it at all: "Don't always listen to the wind and rain, and don't listen to your sister-in-law's nonsense, what kind of big deal can Chu Yi do in addition to making coffins and selling paper money?" The big boss in the town came to pick it up, why didn't the town sell coffin paper money, so I had to find him Chu Yi? Say it and you believe it! ”

"If A-Niang doesn't believe it, go to the village to inquire, who doesn't know this backing village now! Chu Yi, they obviously rely on the craftsmanship of our old Chu family......"

Chu Fang was just halfway through speaking, when she heard her father calling her aunt in the house, and the Wang family also heard it, and they didn't have time to gossip with their daughter here, so they had to hurry up and clean up the house, and maybe someone would come back from the town in the next few days.

"What do you ask? I don't have that leisure, if you have nothing to do, I'm busy, add to the chaos! ”

Wang said and pushed open the door of the wing, and Chu Fang realized that her aunt had just come out of the wing: "Auntie, what are you doing with my father in the wing, how long has this house been inhabited." ”

"Your brother, they're going to come back to live in the next few days."

Chu Fang entered the house and saw that her parents were cleaning up, and she was even more strange: "Brother, don't they all live in the side house of the main house when they come back, what are you doing cleaning up this house?" He won't be able to stay for a few more days! ”

Wang sighed: "I'm going to live here in the future, stay for a long time!" ”

"Huh? Why, Brother is no longer studying in the town? ”

"Naturally, Ah Ren still has to study in the town! Your sister-in-law and her father, didn't she break it during the Chinese New Year, she was paralyzed, saying that she had hollowed out her family by seeing a doctor, and she lost her job as a private school teacher, and she would not be in the town to make a living in the future, so Mingxuan and Li had to come back to live. Wang wiped the fire kang with a layer of ash, and briefly told his daughter about the matter.

Chu Fang was speechless, but Uncle Chu opened his mouth, and his daughter just said that, and he also listened to it in the house: "Fang'er, you are also a big boss, and when the Li family comes back in the future, you don't have to say those things in front of her, and it's not ashamed!" ”

Chu Fang was so angry that she sat on the edge of the kang, regardless of whether it was clean or not, she was very aggrieved: "What's wrong with what I said, if it weren't for the craftsmanship of our old Chu family, would they be able to think of selling paper to make money?" If there was no coffin shop to make a living, how could their stall be so easy to open, not in the name of the coffin of the Chu family!

Obviously, Daddy, you are the boss, if you want to inherit and make money, it should be our family, which round to get him Chu Yi, it's good now, people have made money, but they have kicked our family aside!

Daddy, do you think I'm happy, hot face sticking to other people's cold butts, I don't even have a fart, grandpa, grandma and you both come to train me! If it weren't for the fact that I was having a hard time and had no money in my hand, if this was Daddy's own business, how could I be like this?

Besides, my brother can't use money for the entrance examination? Didn't I also think that if I followed Chu Yi and them, I would be able to earn more, and I would be able to help my brother when the time came! ”

"Hey......" Uncle Chu leaned against the door frame and stood with his back hunched, he followed his father to learn to make coffins when he was a child, at that time he always thought that he was the boss, he had to study hard, and when the shop came to him in the future, he must make the coffin shop of the old Chu family bigger and better!

But who knew that among the three brothers, in the end, he gave up making a coffin, and gave up the shop he had been thinking about for half his life for the sake of his son's future.

Twenty or thirty years of husband and wife, how can the Wang family not know the pimple in the man's heart, she doesn't know that the shop can make money? Don't know if the money is good? But for the sake of her son, she can give up anything, she thought that when her son got ahead, life would be fine, but when the time comes, what will she want, who knows why this imperial examination is so difficult, and there is such a thing!

"What's the use of talking about that now? This family is divided, how can it be reunited! Your dad is right, when the people come back, you don't talk about these useless things! ”

A few days later, two ox carts pulled Li Xiucai's family and staggered into the mountain village.

Li Xiucai was lying on the first ox cart, Li and her aunt Yuan sat on the side to take care of it, and the back car sat Chu Ren's family, with the luggage of the whole family of five at their feet, and the house and the furniture inside were all sold for money, and the Li family only brought some clothes, bedding, pots and pans back.

Li Xiucai was a first-class talent in the examination that year, and later moved to the town with his family, what a scenery it was at that time! Now he can only collapse there, selling his property to survive.

When the village heard about this, especially those who had seen Li Xiucai's career back then, they couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, what happened to Li Xiucai's family became a hot topic in the village for a while, and finally overshadowed the previous carriage incident.

At the end of April, Chu Yi went to the town to buy goods, and since the last time he made a deed, Chu Yi took the goods directly from Lin Ji's workshop, which was much closer than the original shop on the street in the town.

Shen Luzhu saw that the ox cart stopped in front of his yard, and hurriedly came out of the shop, helping Chu Yi to work together, moving and moving, and seeing that there were still a lot of rice paper and the like, he was a little puzzled.

"Isn't there still a lot of rice paper that I came in last time, why did I enter it again?"

Chu Yi looked at his wife and smiled: "It's done, Steward Li said that straw paper is made!" ”

A few steps in front of Chu Yi, Shen Luzhu tugged at his sleeve and widened his eyes: "Really? So what are these? ”

"Well, these are made of straw, in addition to rice paper, there are several different hemp paper in it, Master Zeng said to bring it to us for trial."

Shen Luzhu touched the newly brought rice paper, and he didn't know if it was an illusion, but he felt that it was much smoother than the original.

Carefully compared several kinds of hemp paper, Shen Luzhu selected three of them, cut them into just the right size, colored, dried, brushed with oil, and then dried, and then folded into a gold and a silver, two fat paper ingots, and compared the hardness, appearance and combustion of the finished product, and finally selected the paper to be used to make paper ingots in the future.

"That's it, the thickness, smoothness and hardness are all suitable, let's use this hemp paper to make paper ingots in the future!"

Chu Yi looked at the round paper ingots sitting in rows and smiled! I also talked to Shen Luzhu about the new purchase price of these kinds of paper.

Shen Luzhu frowned slightly, and roughly calculated in his heart: "In this case...... Our cost can be reduced by at least 30% compared to before! ”

Looking at the three white and tender fingers in front of him, Chu Yi stretched out his big hand to wrap them: "Thanks to our Azhu." ”

"It's thanks to the two of us!"

"Hmmm! Thanks to both of us! ”

Last time the young couple went back to Shen's house, the second brother Shen Songjie made some turpentine for them, Shen Luzhu followed and watched, from the selection of materials to the fire, distillation time, but also with furnace ash to cover the warmth, during the period of more than an hour, have to be carefully cared for, it is a very test of skills, experience and patience process.

Shen Luzhu discussed with Chu Yi, and the turpentine side was purchased from the Shen family at the market price, and the copper coin burned paper and silver ticket paper money were the same, and the paper ingots also needed to be made by themselves for a while, first a small amount of trial sales for a period of time, and then find someone to do it.

But Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi still need to make silver ticket paper money, which is now sold a lot, fortunately, it is simple and fast to do, but no matter what it is, once the amount is large, it will consume time.

The little couple discussed, and the work of making silver bills and paper money was also shared, and now the cost has been reduced, but they are not afraid to pay more wages, as long as people can trust it!

After thinking about it, Shen Luzhu thought of someone: "Chu Yi, what do you think about handing it over to Cousin Jiang Juan?" This is easy to do, and we can trust people! ”

Speaking of cousin Jiang Juan, since the last time I helped Jiang Juan's cousin leave the Wang family, my family and Aunt Cui's family have gradually resumed contact, and later with the efforts of the young couple, my grandfather's family and Aunt Cui have slowly released their previous suspicions, in fact, both families are thinking about each other in their hearts, but for the sake of face, over the years, they have not been able to find a suitable opportunity.

After several uncles of the Cui family heard what happened to their niece, they were even more eager to hit the Wang family again, and finally they were stopped by Chu Yi and Aunt Cui.

"Of course it's good, listen to Azhu."

Before the Dragon Boat Festival, the little couple and Chu Li went to their grandfather's house with gifts, and it happened that their aunt's family was also there, so Shen Luzhu took advantage of the chatting to mention the matter to Jiang Juan.

"What does my cousin think?"

Xiaobao is getting bigger and bigger, and she will have to go to school, marry a wife, and have children in the future, although Jiang Juan lives in her mother's house, but she can't feel at ease, all pointing to her father and younger brother, Shen Luzhu's work, simple and effortless, not to mention making money, and not delaying her to see Xiaobao, it is simply a charcoal in the snow!

"Cousin-in-law, is such a good job really given to me?"

Shen Luzhu smiled at Jiang Juan: "Of course, how can this be fake." You don't know, it's not good for us to do it in front of outsiders, we look at the shop during the day, and we really don't want to do anything anymore at night, if you can agree, you've done me and your cousin a great favor! ”

"That's it, my cousin-in-law really helped me a lot! And what happened last time......"

"Stop, stop, let's not talk about it, don't talk about the previous! You have a lot more time than me, you are willing to help, I don't even have to worry about stockpiling goods before the Midyear Festival! But you don't have to be pressured to do less, you know? ”

"Hmm!" Jiang Juan nodded heavily: "I know, thank you, cousin-in-law!" ”

During the Dragon Boat Festival, the uncle's family still spent it in the old house, but the strange thing is that the sister-in-law Li in the lobby did not come.

The official explanation given by the eldest aunt Wang is: "Li took Mingxuan to her mother's house, didn't she just move back, and besides, her father was like that, she went back to help her, and it was more lively." ”

When Shen Luzhu went to the backyard to pick vegetables and came back, he accidentally overheard the conversation between the eldest aunt and the grandmother.

"Because of the pendant, this Li family is complaining about me, since I came back from the town to live, I pulled my face all day long, as if someone owed her money, and led the child to her mother's house all day long!"

"The situation in her family, it's nothing to go back from time to time to see, but this big holiday, take my old Chu family's great-grandson to her mother's house, and she doesn't even show her face, it's just that she's wrong! You are a mother-in-law, she is a daughter-in-law, if you don't do it right, you have to teach her a lesson, and you can still allow her to turn against the sky? ”

"A-Niang is right, I have to talk about her when I go back, I was always not by my side before, plus A-Ren is in the town, and she relies on Li Xiucai to take care of her, so I haven't disciplined her much! This is different now, in the future, their family, if they don't do it, they will have to rely on our Ah Ren, and they can't tolerate her! ”

"Grandma, look at if these dishes are enough!" Shen Luzhu shouted first, then pushed open the half-hidden door of the stove room and walked in.
