Chapter 114: No ability
Wu hurriedly pulled his son over, "Son, you told your mother that you hired a car at that time, and you really said that you had six dollars of silver?" She still didn't believe it.
"yes, that's still fake? Hurry up and give the money to others, are you bothered? Six coins of silver is also worth shouting at. Zhengbai's stomach was grumbling with hunger, so he didn't have any patience.
Wu was robbed of his son so white, and his face was not very good-looking, and he couldn't help but mutter, "What's not worth screaming about?" Do you know that these six coins of silver can do a lot of things? Just spend it on the road, you don't feel distressed and panicked? She muttered, but she took a piece of silver out of her purse and gave it to the coachman.
The coachman took the money, turned around and left, "Phew, don't sit if you can't sit down?" Don't have any money to charge an uncle? So saying, he jumped into the carriage and drove away.
Zhengbai looked back at his mother and said angrily, "Mother, do you think you are worth it?" For the sake of six coins, your son's face has been lost to you. ”
Wu didn't know what to say if he was choked by his son. The son in front of her is her favorite one, and she still expects her son to be able to make a name for himself in the exam, and then he will glorify his ancestors. So a smile appeared on his face, "Okay, okay, let's go into the house, and my mother will make you something to eat." ”
Wu went back to the house to cook, and Zhengbai and Zhengyang talked and chatted in the house.
Sun Changhai came in from outside and saw his two sons, and couldn't help but be stunned, "It's still a while before the Chinese New Year, why did you two come back?" ”
"Dad, we're here to get the money, and we don't have any money." The third child is Yang said.
"When you came back last month, didn't you take away twenty taels of silver? It's only been a month, and you've spent it all? Sun Changhai couldn't help but raise his voice, twenty taels of silver is enough for ordinary people to eat and drink for a year or two. But in the hands of his son, it took only a month, and this flower is too much, right? "Do you know that these twenty taels of silver are enough for our family to spend more than a year. Our family didn't enter this winter, you don't know how to save it, how will you live in the future? ”
Wu heard her husband's voice in the outhouse, and hurriedly came into the house, "The head of the house, the children rarely come back, why are you talking to them so loudly?" ”
"Why do you think I'm loud? The two of them can spend twenty taels of silver a month, is this studying? It's about the same as eating silver. At the beginning, I said, let them go to the fifteen ditches, the master over there taught well, the big deal is that they are a little tired, just walk a little more. You have to let them go to the county to study, just such a spending method, how much money does our family have enough money for them? Sun Changhai said angrily.
"What's this? Dad is so capable, just go and earn money. When we come back after taking the test, won't my father be able to live a good life? The third Zhengyang said disapprovingly.
Sun Changhai laughed angrily at his son, "Do you take the fame test?" You are thirteen this year, not even a child, and when you take the fame test, your father will not be sixty or seventy? Do you think your father will be able to go to the mountains to herd trees for the rest of his life? Your father is in his forties this year, how many more years can he fight for his life? ”
"Master, what are you shouting at your children like this? The children are still young, what can they understand? If you can't make money, you don't have the ability, why are you angry with your children? Wu felt sorry for the children, stepped forward and hugged his two sons, and kept patting his son's back. She shouted out like this, and when she realized what she said, her face immediately turned white, "Boss, I didn't mean that, I just said it casually." Wu hurriedly argued.
Sun Changhai looked at his wife and children in a daze, and his mind was full of what his wife had just said, "Yes, I can't make money, it's because I don't have the ability." I just don't have the ability, so I shouldn't marry a daughter-in-law and raise children. In the past few years, my boss and I have been outside, working hard to earn money. The eldest is only fourteen, so he followed him to the mountain field, how much suffering he has suffered, have you seen it? We come in the wind, go in the water, and don't put our heads on the waistband of our trousers to earn money, so we raise these two uncles. I tell you, if you have money, you can take it for them to study, I don't have that ability, I don't have the ability. ”
Sun Changhai was so angry that he shouted loudly at his wife and children, and then walked out angrily. The door was slammed by him, and there was a clang.
Wu's mother and son were startled by this voice, and then Wu came back to his senses, got up and went out to chase, "Master, where are you going?" Come back soon, that's what I just said, I don't have anything else in mind. She was about to cry, her husband had never been so angry, and this time, I was afraid that he was really angry.
"You don't have to shout, I only understand now, why does the boss want to leave, don't you wait for the three of you to gnaw the bones? You girls live by yourself at home, I think you can live a good life? Sun Changhai left without looking back.
Sun Changhai is a man, he walks very fast, and he walks far away in a blink of an eye, leaving only a shadow. Wu couldn't catch up with her husband, so she sat in the snow and cried, "What did I do?" Why do you have to be like this, you conscience loser. ”
Sun Changhai also shed tears as he walked. These days, he is recuperating at home, and his wife is muttering all day long, and the family has no money to use, this and that. In the past, he spent a short time at home every year, spending most of the year outside, so he didn't know what his home was like. In the past few months, he has seen that his wife is now picking and choosing, not eating good things, not wearing good ones, does she really think she is the grandmother of the landlord's family?
Sun Changhai felt a chill in his heart, he was desperately trying to earn money, but his wife and son were not only not grateful, but also disgusted that he earned less. In the past few years, the money he has earned is very brisk to buy a 180 acres of land. In that case, it would be nice to lead a few children to farm at home and live a stable life. It's a pity that people's hearts are insufficient, and his wife is no longer the little daughter-in-law who was diligent and thrifty.
Today's incident also encountered such a reason, and he just used the topic to play. He just wants to cure this mother's illness so that they can live a good life in the future. It seems that I have to hide for a while, where to go? Shanchangzi doesn't want people now, Sun Changhai is a little worried.
At this time, the sky was already dark, Sun Changhai was thinking about his thoughts, and he didn't pay attention, so he ran into a few people opposite. "Ah, I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention." Sun Changhai hurriedly apologized.
"Brother Sun, why are you on this path? Didn't go up the mountain this year? The person on the other side obviously knew him and was talking to him.
Sun Changhai saw that this person he knew, it was Hao Laixi, who was "dressed up". "Ah, it's Brother Laixi. I twisted my waist a while ago, and I was recuperating from my injuries at home, so I delayed going up the mountain. ”
The one on the other side was happy to hear this, and slapped his face, "Oh, this is a coincidence, I'm helping a noble man find a wooden handle here." You know, that's what I do. I'm still worried, where to find those people, this is where I met you, Brother Sun. In this way, go to the nobles, eat well, live well, and pay a high salary. ”
This "dressing up people" is also a common saying in the wooden gang, that is, such a person who specializes in helping the mountain and water fields find wooden handles. He was familiar with these wooden handles, and there were many times when he couldn't find anyone in the mountain field, so he asked him to help find them. This Hao Laixi can speak well, and the dead can let him say that he is alive.
Sun Changhai was worried that he had no place to go, so he met Laixi, and he was very happy. "Ah, that's thanks big brother. Cheng, then I'll follow, it's not the same who to do, at this time, it's good to find a job. ”
As soon as the two sides said it, Hao Laixi was also very happy, so he dragged Sun Changhai down to his house and went to live for one night, and sent Sun Changhai to the mountain the next day.
Sun Changhai went to the mountain field in Wang County. Because he had more experience, Wang Yuanpeng let him be the leader and lead people to work in the mountain field. With Hao Laixi's help, there were nearly twenty people in the mountain field, but compared to the work they had to do, this number of people was far from enough.
Wang Yuanpeng also lived in the mountains, and he was a little depressed when he looked at the little work these people did every day. If this continues, we won't be able to complete those tasks this year.
In the evening, Wang Yuanpeng called Yu Hai, and the two of them were discussing there, "Old Yu, what do you say about this?" There are too few people to do the work? He was a little anxious, if he couldn't help his father, this matter would be solved perfectly, and he would have no status in front of his father in the future.
"Young Master, I don't have anything to do. It's all my fault, if I hadn't been so stupid last time, we wouldn't have to worry about it. Yu Hai now also knows how outrageous he was wrong at that time, he just relied on his own power and had people under him. But I forgot that there are some things that can't be done with some thugs.
"Okay, don't think about this, you haven't done this before, you don't understand anything, do you?" Wang Yuanpeng naturally won't blame Yu Hai, if he wants to gain a foothold in the mansion in the future, the support of these stewards is indispensable. "In our mountain farm, it's all wooden cooking, right? Is it the same elsewhere? Wang Yuanpeng suddenly remembered something.
"Yes, I heard Sun Changhai say that it is generally like this, the wooden handlers cook in shifts. We used to be like this here, young master, do you have any ideas? Yu Hai asked strangely, why is the eldest young master asking these things?
Wang Yuanpeng smiled, "I have a plan, we may be able to give it a try." ”
