Chapter 239
Shen Luzhu listened to the Qian family's vivid learning of the events of the day, and he was also shocked: "This Tang family's reputation in Hexi Village in the past was quite good, but I really didn't expect to do such a thing."
Qian also agreed: "No, although the Tang family did not do an authentic job in the previous divorce, they can still explain it for them, it is for their own children, but now you see, you really don't even want to face it."
Yuan Shuang and Chu Ping returned from the town that day, and they learned the cause and effect of the incident from their mother-in-law, but she didn't feel jealous of this, but she was a little embarrassed, how could there be so many aunts in the world who didn't love their daughters.
Although Chu Ping didn't just know about it, when he heard Qian mention it, he was still a little speechless: "I don't know what she thinks, she is so embarrassed to come to our house to borrow money, when our family is crazy, borrow her fifty taels to help her get out of the marriage?"
Qian sighed and said, "Alas, maybe it's really no choice."
Qian didn't know, Tang Yuzhen actually wanted to ask Chu Ping at first, if she could accept her as a concubine, if she knew that there was still this stubble, it was estimated that she would also scold, her brain was broken, and she was shameless.
Third Uncle Chu was a little sympathetic to Tang Yuzhen, and there was such a mother, so he asked the follow-up: "Sister-in-law, what happened to the Tang family, can the family affair become?"
Qian shook his head: "It didn't work out, the Tang family is in chaos now, I just heard from the people in the village a few days ago, saying that Tang's mother has always refused to go back to the Tang family, and she is unwilling to pay money to withdraw from the marriage, Tang Yuzhen almost hanged herself at home, in the end, it is her daughter, her granddaughter, the old lady of the Tang family and Tang's father invited the patriarch and genealogy, directly wrote a letter of resignation, and sent it to Tang Yuzhen's grandmother's house, it is said that the two families fought directly.
There is also the Wang Fuhu in the town, who didn't receive anyone on a good day, and made a big fire, and directly found the Tang family, the Tang family said that it was the silver collected by the divorced woman, they didn't recognize the marriage, let whoever took the silver find whom, the three families fought fiercely, it is said that the village couldn't stand it later, and it took a lot of young men to pull it away, Tang Yuzhen and her aunt's face were caught into a blood gourd.
Someone saw it, saying that it was the ruthless hand of his seventh daughter-in-law, and later the villagers inquired and found out that it was the seventh daughter-in-law's maiden cousin who was a groom in Wang Fu's house, and pulled the string from it, but it didn't work out, so he was the first to be beaten, not to mention that he didn't get the reward, and he lost the groom's work, so angry that he directly found the Tang family, and the lack of virtue done by the seventh daughter-in-law was also revealed, and now she is also on the verge of being divorced, so she sprinkled her anger on her ex-mother-in-law."
"This Tang family, it's really a sin."
The Tang family, when the young couple returned to the Shen family the next day, they heard it from Shen's mother and Shen's second aunt in more detail, it is said that on the day when the three families fought, the village chief also came to call the Shen brothers and asked them to follow the young men in the village to fight together.
Shen Luzhu listened and asked with some curiosity, "Then the brothers have gone?"
Shen Songjie knew that his sister's family was coming back today, so he deliberately pushed everything off, and when he was at home, he heard his sister ask about the troubles of the day, and hurriedly said: "Where are you going, the eldest brother is looking at the decoction in the pharmacy in front, I am on the mountain with Zeuru, Changshan went to the school, how can there be a young man at home, so my aunt took your second sister-in-law and a few of them to see the excitement."
Aunt Shen also said: "Fortunately, I didn't go, I came to call someone that the Li family kid couldn't speak clearly, I thought with your aunt to see what was going on, calling people door to door, but when I got there, it was called a mess, and I didn't know that I thought it was a group fight between other villages and our village, and many people who went to fight were scratched."
Shen's mother also said, "No, if a few of you go with you, you will have to hang up and come back."
Since the last time the Tang family quit the marriage because of the little couple, Aunt Shen has complained about their family: "Even if a few of you are at home, if you know that it is his family's business, I will not let you go, although Tang's mother and the woman are hateful, but the family did not stop them at the beginning, they all dislike the poor and love the rich, and they deserve it if something happens."
Xue Changshan and Xue Changlin, the two brothers, were also brought to the Shen family today, and they were now sitting quietly listening to the adults chatting, Shen Songjie saw that the two of them seemed to be a little bored, so he took the initiative to change the topic: "Ayi's two apprentices have really done a good job
Are you going to sell the coffin with you?"
Chu Yi glanced at the little brothers with a smile, nodded and said, "The shop in the west courtyard is not still empty, there are plans to open another coffin shop there."
Father Shen also said with concern when he heard this, "What about the wood? Or is it, as before, transported from the village? I'm afraid I'm not lucky with this thing about wood."
"For the time being, I plan to do so, now I'm just going to make a few bites first, and I don't need much wood, so I'll come back every once in a while to choose some wood to mark, and then ask Chu Ping and Jiang Quan to help find someone to cut it down and send it to the county seat. But it's really not very lucky, the wood used to make the coffin is all old trees, the length and width are required, and it is not very convenient to transport, and when the shop slowly becomes prosperous, you may have to think of some other methods."
Second Uncle Shen was a little puzzled when he heard this: "There should also be mountains around the county, why don't you cut trees directly over there?"
"There are mountains, and the distance to the county seat is closer than from us, but it is more convenient and familiar to select wood, find someone to cut down trees, and clear branches."
In fact, this matter is planned at the moment, but also helpless, there are many mountains around the county, there are many types of wood, and compared with the distance from the mountain village to the county, it is indeed a lot closer, it stands to reason that it should be easier to transport than from home, not to mention, it can also be a lot less cost.
But those mountains near the county seat, Chu Yi is not familiar with it, if you want to be a place for timber supply in the future, you have to spend a lot of time into the mountains, to be familiar with the terrain and tree types, and if you find someone to cut down trees for transportation, it is bound to have someone to stay behind to supervise, and those mountains are also villages under the mountain, outsiders rush into the cutting of trees, will definitely be blocked, and how to communicate with the local area is also a time-consuming, energy-consuming work.
The small couple also discussed again and again, and decided that when the demand for timber was not so large at the moment, they would transport it from the backing village first, and if the coffin business was booming in the future, it would not be too late to find another way.
Shen Songjie has been doing business for a few years, especially after cooperating with a jewelry shop and doing a herbal medicine business, he has more contact, and naturally understands more.
"If this coffin is prosperous after the sale, isn't it more convenient to pack a mountain near the county seat?"
Chu Yi nodded: "Second brother's method is naturally the best, but at the moment, this shop has not started to prepare, and I don't know how the future business can be, so I don't plan to do this."
When Shen Songjie heard this, the smile on his face became even stronger: "I have a better way, the family's herbal medicine trading is doing very well now, and the profit is more than our cooperation with the jewelry store.
Shen Zeqi also said: "There is such an idea, yesterday a second cousin also said that when I have nothing to do in the second half of the year, I will go to the county town more often, and see if the medical hall and pharmacy over there are interested in the supply of herbal medicine.
Baoshan planting herbs this business, the early investment is large, the Shen family and the jewelry shop to earn the money, almost all of the money invested here, some herbs have a long growth cycle, can not be harvested every year like crops, but if you want to be able to supply the pharmacy at any time, you have to plant a large number of batches and branches.
Different herbs are suitable for growing in different environments, some like yin, some like yang, some also need to rely on other plants to grow, and there are also inconsistent parts of the medicine, some take flowers, some take fruits, and some take rhizomes, different parts of the medicine, the picking season is also different.
In order to serve these medicinal materials well, under the guidance of Grandpa Shen, the Shen family continued to explore and explore, and now almost half of the mountain has been covered, but fortunately, these investments are not in vain, the growth of these herbs is very gratifying, and after the spring of this year, they have been sold to various medical halls and pharmacies in the town.
The Shen family's medicinal materials are all planted in accordance with the wild growth environment, the quality is good, the medicinal properties are not bad, and the supply volume and time are also stable, which soon captured the hearts of most of the medical halls and pharmacies in the town, and many of them were signed directly
Deed of long-term cooperation.
The Shen family calculated, although the money earned by selling herbs in the past few months was not enough to make up for the previous investment, they could continue like this, just wait another year, and by this time next year, they would be able to turn losses into profits.
The momentum of their own business is getting better and better, and the brothers of the Shen family are even more energetic, and soon set their sights on the larger market of Xing'an County.
The little couple really didn't expect that in just a few months, the Shen family's herbal medicine business had such an exciting change, and they congratulated them repeatedly.
Shen Songjie waved his hand and said, "It's not thanks to the method that Lu Zhu and Ayi thought of at the beginning, otherwise there would be no today. Having said that, the medicine fields that the family now has are basically only enough to sell to these medical centers and pharmacies in the town, and I originally discussed with Zeurushi that if the time goes well to the county seat, we will package another hill next to it to plant. But just now I heard Ayi say, I have a new idea, why don't we go directly to the surrounding county to cover one or two hills, we plant herbs, Ayi, you take wood, and when the time comes, the workers who wait for herbs and logging will look for them in the surrounding villages, and the left and right sides are their own business, and the workers don't need to find two copies, isn't it a good way to get the best of both worlds?"
"Second brother's method is really good, what does Ah Zhu think?"
Shen Luzhu praised with a smile: "The second brother is really getting more and more business-minded now, I also think this method is good, if it is done, the cost of baoshan, transportation and workers can be saved a lot, it is a good way!"
Shen Songjie said with some pride: "Then you look at it, don't look at who I am, second brother, my sister is so smart, I can't be too bad as a second brother!"
Mother Shen scolded with a smile: "Look, look, you are still panting when you say you are fat."
Shen Songjie scratched his head with a smile, and Shen Zeqi also said: "It's still the second cousin's brain, and he was originally a little worried about the cost of transporting herbs, but we may not be able to implement it for a while, and the wood you use now may have to be transported from the village for a while."
"What's this, Ah Zhu and I are not in a hurry, the second brother and cousin will take their time."
After finishing his business, Shen Songjie thought about the future again: "When the family background is thicker in the future, I will open a big medical hall for Grandpa in the county seat, and then buy a big mansion, and our whole family will move over, and we will be closer to Luzhu Ayi and them."
Opening a medical hall in the county seat, and buying a big mansion where the whole family can live, if this matter was placed in the past, the Shen family would not dare to think about it, but now that I think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be too far away.
Mother Shen was very happy when she heard this, but she didn't show it, but looked at Grandpa Shen who was sitting on the main seat, the old man was old, and he was afraid that there would always be some hometown that would be difficult to leave.
Who knew that Grandpa Shen said with a smile: "That relationship is good, your grandpa and I will point to you to open a big medical hall for me!"
