Chapter 38: Half of the Little Dumb's Shares
Without the support of her brother-in-law, how can she gain a foothold in the Ma family?
She can't talk about filial piety to her mother-in-law, she doesn't keep any women's morals to her husband, and she sneers and scolds her brother-in-law and sister-in-law a lot.
Qin Liu has always adhered to the creed of "no pain, no gain", she came to this ancient world, from being so hungry that she wanted to gnaw her fingers to now having a house, an industry, a partner, a family and friends, all of which were exchanged for her own hard work and sincerity.
This Mrs. Qu clinged to her brother-in-law when she was young, offended her mother's family, offended her sister, and was not allowed to be worldly. Looks extremely brainless.
Now that the backer has fallen, he is immediately sensible and knows that he is trying to survive.
Qin Liu and Old Man Lou brought breakfast together and went to their main house. The eldest man of the West House had already sat up and was dressing himself, and from time to time he pulled the quilt on the naughty Erlang, who was kicking his legs, and complained: "My brother is not well-behaved, it should be frostbitten!" ”
Qin Liu hurriedly went over to put on Erlang's thin cotton jacket, rubbed his little buttocks, and made Erlang giggle non-stop.
Da Lang was very envious, and when he saw Qin Liu looking at her with a smile, he also rushed over and threw himself into Qin Liu's arms, hugging her neck and coquettishly.
Qin Liu hugged the two children very comfortably and kissed and kneaded, a scene of warmth and affection.
Qin Liu sighed slightly: With the warmth at your fingertips, what else do you need?
After letting the children eat with Li Laohan and Lou Laotou, Qin Liu took two more steamed buns, served a big bowl of porridge and a small plate of cold vegetables, and served them on a tray to the hut at the back.
The door of the hut was hidden, and when Qin Liu entered, he saw the little mute stubbornly and resentfully turning his head away.
She placed the tray next to the little mute's pillow and tried to uncover the quilt on him to see the wounds, but the little mute refused.
She sat on the edge of the kang, her legs dangling in the air.
After hearing that there was no movement outside the house, she approached the little mute and said, "What are you afraid of without Yanzilou?" I've already bought the land across the street, and I'll build an inn when spring begins. I'll give you a stake when the time comes. ”
She thought for a while, stretched out two fingers, and then another finger: "How about giving you thirty percent of the shares?" ”
The little mute's face really softened a lot, but he still had a calm face: "No! Half of the shares, not a single cent less! ”
Qin Liu looked at this down-and-out grassland prince in disbelief. You are such a prince, and you are so eyeing me for a broken shop. Is it necessary to be so stingy?
She thought of the little mute's injury, tiredness, and humiliation, and indifferent attitude towards money, and suddenly understood a little.
What he wants more is the feeling of being in charge, being recognized, and being respected, right?
She thought about it, but instead of agreeing, she frowned and complained: "You also know that there is a lot of investment in building an inn, my capital is limited, and I still have a large family to support......
This is said very insincerely, yesterday's three golden gold ingots are still in her arms!
The little mute did not speak, and threw two bags over with disdain.
Qin Liu knew at a glance that it was the money bag, or if she gave it to the little mute before.
She checked it with her hand, and the silver was still the same as before, and the little mute barely moved. What a simple baby!
Qin Liu suppressed the corners of his lips from rising, and went down to the kang to leave.
The little mute said: "Half of the shares, not a single point less!" ”
"Done! You eat first, and I'll get the bowl later. ”
When she returned to the main house, she didn't bother to eat, so she went to the Westinghouse first to put down the gold and silver on her body. This body of gold and silver is carried on the body all morning, which is really a sweet burden.
After breakfast, Qin Liu hurried to the post station next door non-stop.
She wanted to meet that Zhu Yue and figure out what her relationship was with him, what kind of calculations he was making in the clouds?
However, He Yicheng told him that as soon as it was dawn, Lord Zhu and his party left to go to Xuanfu.
Qin Liu didn't believe it, so he had to go to the room where Zhu Yue was staying.
He Yicheng simply took her over.
Seeing that it was just a very ordinary room, and the decoration was shabby, Qin Liu was very strange: "That Lord Zhu, you said that he is the grandson of the number one noble, how can you live in such a room?" ”
Qin Liu knew that the post house rooms from high to low can be roughly divided into the following parts: the sky number, the earth number, the person number, the shop, the firewood room and the horse circle.
The Tianzi room is the best, and it is also for the most distinguished guests, which is a bit equivalent to the presidential room in modern society; The ground number room is second-class, which is a bit equivalent to the business suite of modern society; The herringbone room is once again first-class, somewhat equivalent to the standard room of modern society.
Such a noble kid should always live in a sky-sized room and a ground-sized room, right?
He Yicheng said helplessly: "Our post station has only been built for more than ten years, the environment is simple, and the officials who stay here are limited, and most of them are staying at the Jiming Station more than 40 miles away in the west.
This General Zhu is of noble birth, but his rank is only a martial arts general from the fifth rank, and it is suitable to live in this room according to his rank. ”
Qin Liu raised her eyebrows, she knew that He Yicheng was a person who would come to do things, and she would definitely not propose to let Zhu Yue live in such a room, I was afraid that Zhu Yue was very principled and asked to live here?
On the way back, Qin Liu's doubts gradually dissipated: This Zhu Yue is so principled, he probably won't fornicate with someone and let the young lady get pregnant before marriage, right?
Qin Liu thought about it again and again, but still weighed sixty taels of silver, and went to find the old man Lou who was sitting in the hall of the Swallow Building and leisurely sipping a little wine.
I drank wine in the morning, and Old Man Lou wanted to let himself go!
Qin Liu respectfully handed the silver to Old Man Lou: "Uncle, you also have your credit for the booming business of this shop, and I think I should give you a share of the silver obtained from this shop." You dot. What are your plans for the future? ”
Old man Lou drank the wine in his cup on the ground, put the silver in his arms, and said disappreciably: "What else? Naturally, I am guarding this empty shop and taking care of three meals a day for you every day! ”
Qin Liu was embarrassed: "Isn't this a bit overkill?" I can do these things. ”
Old man Lou sneered: "You can't do it." This dishonest little dumb in the backyard, can you take it? The little thief who always wants to steal things outside, can you get rid of it? ”
Qin Liu was speechless.
Feelings: This old man Lou has been making himself a free bodyguard.
Qin Liu still asked an unspeakable question: "Who is Erlang's father?" ”
Old Man Lou's face immediately became serious, and he said hardly: "I don't know! ”
"It can't be Lord Zhu Yue, right?"
Old man Lou put the wine glass on the table, looked at Qin Liu coldly, and his voice did not carry a trace of emotion: "If he dares to do such a thing that is inferior to a beast, don't talk about his grandfather and his father, I will break his legs!" ”
"Did he break his leg?"
