Chapter 77 It’s not worth anything if it’s broken.
Shen Nian thought about what he lacked, and felt sore in his heart. He planned to seriously start a career to make money, and said angrily: "Let's sign an agreement."
“Okay.” Xiao Zhi said.
The agreement was made in duplicate, with both parties signing each other's names.
Shen Nian carefully put away the agreement, his face full of joy.
This is something that can buy a big house, so it must be put away.
Xiao Zhi looked at the round words on the paper and raised the corners of his mouth.
Mrs.'s words were as lovely as he remembered.
-
Shen Nian returned home and showed the cooperation agreement to his family.
"Master Xiao only wants 10%?" Shen Er looked in disbelief. Even a farmer like him knew that this tung oil could make a lot of money, and that young master could not fail to see it.
Why does he only want this?
“I’m not short of money.” Shen Nian replied.
Li Xiuniang and others: "..." Is it true that there is no shortage of money or something?
Shen Nian saw the strange expressions on his family's face, curled his lips and said, "10% is not a lot."
“Dad, why build a workshop?”
Shen Er's attention was diverted and he thought for a moment and said: "The road has not been built yet. I'm afraid it will take some time to build it."
Shen Nian: "...work in the workshop can be postponed, but the oil fruits on the mountain cannot be left dry."
“Your father and I have discussed it and we will hire villagers to go up the mountain to pick fruits tomorrow,” Li Xiuniang said.
Seeing that his parents knew what was going on, Shen Nian simply let them do it themselves.
-
Half a month passed in the blink of an eye.
The roads in Zhuxi Village were built, and the villagers began to build workshops.
In the past, at this time, every household was worried about how to survive the winter, but this year is different. People are needed to build workshops, and money is made every day, and everyone has a smile on their face.
“Go to work?”
"You know it and ask why, why don't you go to work?"
“Hey, hey, hey, you’re not happy yet, I’m happy.”
“Okay, okay, whatever you want can be done.”
While the tung oil workshop in the village was being built in full swing, something went wrong again for the old Mrs. Gao and Gao Yuehong, who had just returned from her parents' home.
This day, someone came to the Shen family.
Having a round face, thin eyebrows and big eyes, protruding cheekbones, thin lips, and a pimpled mane, he is about forty or fifty years old.
The dress is standard for a matchmaker.
Lao Gao was the first to speak, "Have you found the right person?"
The woman smiled brightly, "How can I come if you don't find me?"
"I know all your requirements. The bride price is large, and nothing else is important... No, I will come as soon as there is news."
It is actually the best thing to do if someone like Lao Gao makes a request.
It’s not just asking for money, it’s simple.
Lao Gao saw the matchmaker's prowess and knew that this was a master who would not let go of rabbits or let go of hawks, so he stuffed him with twenty coins.
“You can say it, don’t worry, if it can really happen, it will be your benefit.”
The matchmaker felt that Mr. Gao was sending beggars away and was very unhappy.
No matter how unhappy you are, you still need to maintain customers.
"Now I have three people who meet your requirements. One is from the mountains and wants to buy a wife for four taels. The other is a scholar from the county, but this scholar is not in good health. His mother wants to find a wife for him. To celebrate the occasion, the bride price is eighty taels, and the last one is a Yuanwailang from the next county, who is willing to pay thirty taels."
Lao Gao didn't pay attention to anything else, his mind was occupied by the last thirty taels.
“Is that foreigner really willing to pay thirty taels?” she asked with bright eyes.
“How can I still deceive you?” The matchmaker lowered her face.
What she didn't say was that this foreigner was over fifty and had more than a dozen concubines, all of whom were short-lived. He disappeared within half a year after entering the house.
"...I'll just ask." Lao Gao quickly replied, "I think this is suitable, and I would like you to help me talk it over."
The matchmaker was happy when he heard this, and his face was full of joy, "Sure, don't worry, I promise to make it happen for you."
After the agreement was settled, Mr. Gao sent the man out.
Shen Rou and Shen Jing walked towards each other.
The matchmaker has a sharp eye and can obviously see that the two girls have different qualities, but they are a bit rough.
She focused on the older one. He had a soft appearance and a pair of beautiful eyes. He was a little timid and a little shy when he wanted to speak. He had the kind of appearance that old men like.
For a time, I became more confident in promoting this marriage.
With this appearance, if the deal is successful, she can get a lot of benefits.
"Go away, don't look at my sister like that." Shen Jing saw the way this man looked at her sister...as if she were looking at an object for sale, and said angrily like a firecracker.
The matchmaker looked unhappy.
Mrs. Gao was afraid that she would be angry, so she slapped Shen Jing, "Damn girl, how did your mother teach you? What are your rules? Don't eat at night..."
When Shen Rou saw her sister being beaten, she quickly put down the basket in her hand and touched Shen Jing's face worriedly.
“Sister Jing, are you okay? Can you hear?”
"...It's okay." Shen Jing's face was burning, and she stared at Old Gao with anger.
"Why did you hit me? What did I say wrong? This man looked at my sister with evil intentions, but I can't say anything anymore? Why!"
Shen Rou also felt uncomfortable with the look in the matchmaker's eyes, but she was soft-tempered and didn't want her sister to have a conflict with the old lady, so she quickly advised her, "Sister Jing, stop talking."
Shen Jing has a fiery temper and said with a pinched neck, "I don't."
Lao Mrs. Gao was very angry because the two girls had lost face in front of the matchmaker.
He grabbed the broom and hit Shen Jing.
“Damn girl, I asked you to talk too much. The elders are doing the talking, so you have no place to speak. You are a **** who was born without a mother…”
Although Shen Jing has the temperament of a little pepper, she does not dare to take any chances. When faced with the beatings and scoldings of her elders, she only dares to avoid them but does not dare to fight back.
"Brother, please stop beating." Shen Rou cried and begged, trembling with fear, but still firmly protecting her sister.
Shen Jing saw her sister being beaten several times and was even more anxious than she was being beaten.
“If you want to hit me, hit me, don’t touch my sister.”
The two sisters were beaten and injured, and they looked so pitiful as they protected each other.
Seeing that Old Gao's broom hit Shen Rou's cheek, and a red mark appeared on the eldest girl's beautiful face, the matchmaker frowned and said, "Don't hurt her."
It’s not worth anything if it’s broken!
Old Mrs. Gao understood her hidden meaning, threw the broom, and said in a commanding tone: "Go and apply some medicine."
The eyes that glanced at Shen Rou were filled with distress, of course for the thirty taels that had not yet been received.
Hate surged in Shen Jing's heart, and she said coldly: "Where did you get the medicine? We are poor and cannot afford the medicine."
After saying that, he pulled Shen Rou back to the third room courtyard with a cold face.
Walking to the courtyard of Sanfang, Shen Jing felt something was wrong and told Shen Rou, "Sister, please be careful during this period. Don't go out alone. She must have bad intentions. Please be careful."
Shen Rou smiled and said, "I can."
Seeing that Shen Jing still looked worried, she added, "I'll call you when I get out. Don't worry, I'll be careful."
Hearing this, Shen Jing's face became better.
Be careful and you never go wrong.
She really couldn't believe the old lady's character.
