Lighting red lanterns and hammering feet are scenes in "Raise the Red Lantern".
Zhou Qiang happened to know someone who could hammer his feet, so he used this trick.
Not to mention, I hammer my feet every night, which is quite comfortable.
Not a few days.
Tian Xiao'e and Wang Yuyan fell in love with Hammer Kick.
They are all somewhat addicted.
Of course, they won't talk about more addictive things.
After Zhou Qiang's marriage.
Bailu Village returned to peace.
However, there are still people who often talk about Zhou Qiang and his two beautiful wives.
There is no man in Bailu Village who does not envy Zhou Qiang.
Even Bai Jiaxuan, the upright patriarch, secretly envied Zhou Qiang.
Happy days pass quickly.
A month or two passed in a flash.
Tian Xiao'e and Wang Yuyan are both pregnant.
Zhou Qiang was a little bored.
He was thinking about marrying a few more wives so that he could chat and relieve his boredom at night.
This evening.
Room two.
"Brother Qiang, let me tell you something. My eldest brother asked me to lie to you about the secret recipe." Wang Yuyan told Zhou Qiang everything about the Wang family's conspiracy.
Although Wang Yuyan didn't say anything, Zhou Qiang could basically guess it.
But Wang Yuyan still said it.
After Wang Yuyan married Zhou Qiang, she felt a little happy and reluctant to miss Shu.
Now that I am pregnant, I have completely changed my mind.
I feel that my whole body and mind belong to Zhou Qiang, and I can no longer lie to Zhou Qiang.
"Yuyan, anyone with a discerning eye will know your family's plan." Zhou Qiang did not pretend to be stupid.
The Wang family married their daughter to the Zhou family in Bailuyuan.
Anyone with a little bit of skill would know something fishy by just asking around.
Only those with poor legs, people at the bottom of society who dream about pie in the sky all day long, would think that Zhou Qiang marrying Wang Yuyan is a good thing and good luck.
There will be no pie in the sky.
If it really falls, it will only kill people.
"So Brother Qiang knows." Wang Yuyan was not too surprised.
We are all smart people. If we have to pretend to be stupid, we will be really stupid.
"Yuyan, your cousins are in charge of the shop where you are married. In this way, you ask them to increase the price." Zhou Qiang wanted to make a fuss about grain prices and disrupt the Wang family's grain business.
"Okay, I will listen to Brother Qiang." Wang Yuyan married Zhou Qiang. She was originally going to be a traitor, but she turned traitor. She completely fell in love with Zhou Qiang and was unwilling to do anything to hurt Zhou Qiang.
As for why "rebellion"?
Well, Wang Yuyan was conquered by Zhou Qiang.
This kind of situation is not uncommon. It seems that there is a similar scene in a certain banned movie.
Dealing with the Wang family is a matter of help.
Zhou Qiang didn't bother too much and just let his men do it.
As for the bandits who previously ambushed Zhou Qiang at Bald Ridge.
Zhou Qiang has also sent someone to inquire about the situation.
This group of bandits, robbing homes and homes, committed all kinds of evil, and Zhou Qiang would have to deal with it sooner or later.
The new primary school is already operating normally and Zhou Qiang does not need to go there every day.
The family business has also been arranged, and there are not many things that require Zhou Qiang to be busy.
One day without incident, Zhou Qiang actually called Matchmaker Li and Matchmaker Zhang again.
"There are only two wives and concubines in the family, which is too few." Zhou Qiang said casually. He just wanted to have a wife and concubines, and they had to be beautiful.
"It turns out that both ladies are pregnant. Congratulations to Boss Zhou! Congratulations to Boss Zhou!" The two matchmakers said congratulations. "Don't worry, she is still a woman from a scholarly family. We will find her for you as soon as possible and guarantee that she will be beautiful first-class. "
The two matchmakers left happily.
Because, Zhou Qiang promised that after the matter is completed, there will still be twenty yuan of happy money.
Introducing Zhou Qiang's daughter-in-law is something that all three parties are satisfied with.
Zhou Qiang is satisfied, his wife's family is satisfied, and the matchmaker is also satisfied.
It didn't take long.
The villagers of Bailu Village started gossiping again.
"Have you heard? Boss Zhou is marrying a wife and taking a concubine again!"
"I heard that Boss Zhou is very capable. Both of his beautiful wives are pregnant. Boss Zhou is so lonely that he can only marry another wife."
"Boss Zhou is so awesome!"
"Well done, Boss Zhou!"
“Boss Zhou is awesome!”
Zhou Qiang unintentionally gained a lot of envy and admiration.
Bai Jiaxuan's family.
"Jiaxuan, I heard that Zhou Qiang is getting married again?" Xiancao was a little surprised.
"Yes, I just heard from Third Brother.
Zhou Qiang's two daughters-in-law are both pregnant.
There was no one to sleep with Zhou Qiang at night, so he immediately asked two matchmakers to come to his door.
He said that he wanted to marry a few more, and they had to be beautiful. "Bai Jiaxuan's eyes were a little envious.
Normal men would envy Zhou Qiang.
"I didn't expect Zhou Qiang to be a pervert this time!" Xiancao blushed for some reason.
"The little widow with third brother is pregnant." Bai Jiaxuan suddenly talked about Lu San's family affairs.
"What? Third brother, he has a baby again?" Xiancao was stunned, thinking: "Why are they all giving birth to babies? Do I want to have another baby?"
Bai Jiaxuan seemed to have the same idea and took the fairy grass into the house to work on it.
Lu Zilin's family.
"This Zhou Qiang turns out to be a pervert. He is not satisfied with having two such beautiful wives and wants to marry again. It is really unreasonable." Lu Zilin looked down upon him with envy in his eyes.
“This is someone who has the ability.
Within a month or two, both daughters-in-law were pregnant. What does this mean?
It shows that people take good care of their land.
There is no reclaimed wasteland outside. "Lu Taiheng looked at Lu Zilin with disgust.
It is implied that Lu Zilin was messing around outside, not sleeping with his wife at home, and only gave birth to two children and no more.
Lu Taiheng basically knew all the bad things Lu Zilin did.
Lu Taiheng looked down upon Lu Zilin.
"Tch, what's the big deal? We'll wait until he gives birth to a son." Lu Zilin was so sad that he wanted to go to Widow Li's house.
Lu Zilin originally wanted to go to the little widow's house, but the little widow was too temperamental and needed to slow down.
It didn't take long.
Zhou Qiang's wedding was held again.
This time, marry two at the same time.
They are all as beautiful as flowers.
The old, middle-aged and young men who were watching were extremely envious.
Mr. Zhu also found out about Zhou Qiang and was very disappointed in Zhou Qiang.
Mr. Zhu felt that Zhou Qiang was too vulgar, too superficial, and too indulgent.
Mr. Zhu originally had expectations for Zhou Qiang, but he didn't expect Zhou Qiang to be so obsessed with Wenrou Township.
Mr. Zhu had to sigh that "it is difficult for a hero to be a beauty."
Zhou Zhai.
"Light up the lights in House No. 3 and House No. 4!" The two women went to hammer the newlyweds' feet again.
Of course, after hammering the feet of the newlyweds, they also have to hammer the feet of the two pregnant women.
Soon the two newcomers went to the north room a little shyly.
One of them is named Zhang Xiulan and the other is named Han Su'e.
They have more beautiful looks and good figures. (As long as you have money, you can always find a beautiful woman. Even a brainless beauty can be trained slowly.)
The newly married two have worse family backgrounds.
It is said that he comes from a scholarly family, but in fact there are no scholars, no scholars, no scholars in the family, only some relatives around the corner who are educated.
However, this is not important.
The matchmaker also figured out what Zhou Qiang was thinking.
As long as the woman is beautiful, everything else is easy to say.
The betrothal gift given this time was one hundred and fifty yuan.
The dowry is just a few new clothes.
Zhou Qiang doesn't care how much the dowry is.
"Come, undress the master!" Zhou Qiang began to live happily again.
This time, Zhou Qiang planned not to rush to have a baby, but to have fun first.
The days passed.
this day.
Early in the morning.
Prices at Wang Yuyan's two grain stores suddenly increased.
Not only the selling price has increased, but the purchase price has also increased.
It didn't take long.
The news spread to Wang Ju's family.
"What? The prices at Yuyan's two shops have increased?" Wang Juren was a little confused as to what was going on. "Let me go and ask."
Wang Laoer will be back soon.
"Second brother, what's going on? Why did the price increase?" Wang Juren asked hurriedly.
"Guys don't know. They said it was Yuyan who notified the price increase, but they didn't say why." The price increase at the grain store was made by Zhou Qiang. As for the reason for the increase, Zhou Qiang planned to make up a story to screw up the Wang family. .
"Yuyan asked for an increase?" Wang Juren frowned and thought for a while, but couldn't think of anything.
"Dad, why don't you send someone to Bailuyuan to ask?"
"Okay, go and ask."
"There is no reason for the increase in food prices. I just want to make more money." The people sent by the Wang family were sent back by Zhou Qiang's words before they saw Wang Yuyan.
Wang Juren's family.
"No reason?" Wang Juren looked a little unhappy.
"Dad, the Zhou family must have heard something and didn't tell us." Wang Laoer also looked unhappy.
"The key is why it went up!" Wang Juren was a little angry.
"Dad, do we want a raise?"
"Rising? The autumn grain has just passed and it is rising now. Why?" Prices are rising when there is an abundance of grain. This is crazy.
"How about letting someone see Yuyan secretly?" The Wang family has been very careful in order to plot Zhou Qiang's secret recipe.
After Wang Yuyan got married, she hadn't contacted her secretly because she was afraid that Zhou Qiang would find out.
The Wang family is very patient. They plan to wait for a year or two and wait for Zhou Qiang to relax his vigilance before making other plans.
"This." Wang Juren was a little hesitant, fearing that he might be a little offended.
"You can't contact Yuyan privately yet!" At this time, Boss Wang came back.
His tone was firm.
He felt that the increase in food prices was not a big deal and there was no need to risk contacting Wang Yuyan secretly.
"That's right, we can't contact you." Wang Juren also figured it out, "You can't lose a big deal for a small amount."
"Then shall we raise the price?" Wang Laoer asked.
"The prices at Yuyan's two stores have increased by 30%. Let's follow suit and increase prices by 15%." Boss Wang came up with a compromise.
"Okay, let's do it."
Two days passed.
Wang Yuyan's two shops have increased prices again.
Last time it increased by 30%, this time the price increase is equivalent to doubling the original price.
This is a huge increase.
At the same time, the purchase price has also increased a lot.
Wang Juren's family.
"What? The price has increased again?" Wang Juren looked surprised.
"Yes, the purchase price is the same as the price we sold it for." Wang Laoer was a little panicked.
Shopping malls are like battlefields. Such a sharp price increase will first cause panic among businessmen.
Wang Laoer murmured in his heart: "Such a price increase is too unusual.
If something happens, something must happen.
If something happens, it must be something big. "
"Where is your elder brother?" Wang Juren ran out of ideas and wanted to ask Boss Wang.
"Brother has been notified."
After a while.
Boss Wang is back.
He looked solemn.
"Boss, what do you think we should do?" Wang Juren asked.
Boss Wang frowned and remained silent.
"Brother, do you want us to follow the rise?" Wang Laoer asked.
"It can't go up any more." Boss Wang shook his head and explained: "If it goes up again, our purchase price will be higher than the selling price in other counties."
Wang Juren then said: "Yes, if it really happens like this, everyone will go to other counties to buy grain and then sell it to us. Wouldn't we become fools?"
"Then why did Yuyan's two shops increase their prices? Isn't she afraid of food from other counties being sold?" Wang Laoer looked confused.
"The purchase price is so high, there must be something going on, something big, but we don't know." Boss Wang frowned and said.
"Yes, brother, I also think there must be something big, but that bitch Zhou Qiang didn't tell us." Wang Laoer said angrily.
"Ask Zhou Qiang again." Boss Wang hesitated, "I'll go there myself this time."
Zhou Zhai.
"Brother-in-law, we said goodbye last time. I haven't seen you for a while. How are you doing lately? My Yuyan." Boss Wang exchanged a few words with Zhou Qiang and asked directly: "Brother-in-law, why did your two grain stores increase the prices?"
"Brother, come on, this is Yuqian Longjing, try it and see if it tastes good." Zhou Qiang laughed and played tricks on Boss Wang without saying why.
"Brother-in-law, have you heard anything?" Boss Wang shamelessly continued to ask.
"Brother, come on, these are the cigarettes shipped from Shanghai. You can try them."
"Brother-in-law, we are a family. If you have any news, it would be unreasonable if you don't tell me.
You don't think we are relatives. "Boss Wang pretended to be angry.
"Brother, I really can't say anything about this, but it's definitely true that my shop has increased prices, and you guys should follow suit." Zhou Qiang still didn't say anything.
Boss Wang continued to pester, but Zhou Qiang didn't say a word.
"Where's Yuyan? I want to see her." Boss Wang planned to ask Wang Yuyan openly, so as not to worry about Zhou Qiang suspecting others.
"Yu Yan is pregnant, not feeling well, and is resting."
"What? Are you feeling unwell? Just take a look. I'll send someone to bring Laoshan Ginseng later." Boss Wang insisted on seeing Wang Yuyan.
Zhou Qiang stopped him, pretending that he couldn't stop him, and asked someone to ask Wang Yuyan to come out.
Wang Yuyan just came out.
Zhou Qiang spoke first, "Yuyan, your eldest brother came to see you and said he would give you an old wild ginseng."
Zhou Qiang walked over, supported Wang Yuyan, and continued: "Why did our grain store increase the price? I can't sue your brother. Otherwise, it will be a big deal."
Yes, Zhou Qiang said this in front of Boss Wang.
Boss Wang's face turned ugly.
But Boss Wang could only endure it without having an attack.
"Don't worry, Brother Qiang, I know this matter cannot be spread outside, and I will not tell it to Big Brother." Wang Yuyan nodded and looked at Boss Wang, "Brother, I can't say why the price of food has gone up, but the price of food in our family can follow. It’s a rare opportunity and you can make a lot of money.”
As if worried that Wang Yuyan talked too much, Zhou Qiang hurriedly asked Wang Yuyan to sit down and talked about other things.
After listening to Wang Yuyan's words, Boss Wang suddenly had some speculations in his heart.
If food prices suddenly rise sharply, it is nothing more than something big happening, such as a war or a disaster somewhere.
"Yuyan, what's wrong with you? Would you like to ask the doctor to come over and take a look?" Boss Wang pretended to care about Wang Yuyan.
"It's nothing, I just don't want to eat. I just asked Xing'er to buy dried plums." Wang Yuyan chatted for a few words and went back to the backyard without staying any longer.
"Brother-in-law, I will send someone to send over the old wild ginseng that I have collected at home later." After meeting Wang Yuyan, Boss Wang had some guesses and left immediately.
"What's the rush? Brother, let's have dinner together." Zhou Qiang sent Boss Wang out with a pretense of politeness.
After Boss Wang left, he walked around to the street in Bailu Town.
Sure enough, I met Wang Yuyan's personal maid Xing'er.
"Young Master, the young lady gave this to you." Xing'er handed a note to Boss Wang.
"I got it." Boss Wang hurriedly looked at the note and showed an expression of "Sure enough," he said.
The day Boss Wang returned.
The price of food in Zishui County has increased.
The sales price and purchase price have all increased, and they have increased significantly.
Of course, it is said to be Zishui County, but it actually refers to all the grain stores of the Wang family.
The Wang family has a monopoly on grain sales in Zishui County.
The result is that everyone sells grain to the Wang family and then buys grain from other counties.
The next few days.
The Wang family's food can only go in but not out.
Erdao dealers made a lot of money.
But instead of falling in price, the price of food in Zishui County has increased again.
The first to raise prices were Wang Yuyan's two grain stores.
The price is four times the original price.
Wang Juren's family.
"Dad, the price at Yuyan's grain store has increased again!" Wang Laoer hurriedly reported the situation. In the past few days, he has been staring at the prices outside.
"Then let's follow the rise." Wang Juren said slowly. He already knows why the price has increased. He wanted to make a fortune.
"Dad, the price at Yuyan is four times, let's just increase it this time, maybe five times?" Wang Laoer has a big appetite and wants to make more money.
"Okay, five times is five times. After a while, the food will cost ten or twenty times." Wang Juren was confident and seemed to have everything figured out.
Because the Wang family's food prices have increased, Zishui County has caused quite a stir.
There are many businessmen waiting and watching.
Many people went to Wang's house to inquire about the situation, but could not find out anything.
But everyone felt that if the Wang family heard some news, the food supply would definitely increase sharply.
Ever since, someone has followed suit.
Once someone follows suit.
Food prices are changing faster.
Under such circumstances, food prices have increased in Zishui County and several surrounding counties.
Soon the price of food was nearly ten times higher.
This evening.
Zhou Qiang called a few confidants over.
"Zhang Biao, Lao Liu, you go to Zishui County, this and that, this and that."
"I understand, boss, I promise to complete the mission!"
One night passed.
the next day.
Zhou Qiang sold a lot of the grain he had accumulated.
It was sold at ten times the usual price.
Zhou Qiang made huge profits.
Zhou Qiang ran out of food.
In Zishui County, businessmen, large and small, all saved a lot of grain and bought it at high prices.
They think it's a business opportunity.
Wang Juren's family.
"Dad, there is no cash at home." Wang Laoer hurriedly reported the situation.
"What? No money?" Wang Juren was surprised.
"Yes, we have collected a lot of grain recently, and we are running out of money."
"Don't be afraid if you don't have money. As long as you have food, you can double your income in a few days." Wang Juren was not worried at all.
"But we have no money, so Lao Li's family harvests more grain." (Lao Li is a big businessman in Zishui County.)
"This Lao Li, he's not in the grain business. Why are you trying to harvest grain from us? He's really nothing."
"Dad, why don't you go to the bank to borrow some money?" Wang Laoer came up with an idea.
"Borrow money?" Wang Juren hesitated.
"Dad, the brave will starve to death and the timid will starve to death. There is no shop like this after passing this village."
"Would you like to tell your elder brother?"
"No need, my eldest brother will definitely agree." Wang Lao Er doesn't want to go through Boss Wang for everything.
"Okay, let's go borrow the money, and the deadline is one month!" Wang Juren made up his mind.
After the Wang family borrowed money, they continued to increase prices and collect grain.
Another few days passed.
Food prices can no longer rise.
Because it is too expensive, it cannot keep rising unless there are natural or man-made disasters.
However, the autumn grain harvest has just been completed, and every household has plenty of food, so there is not that much demand.
Now, just wait for the news to appear.
What's the news?
Let’s fight!
A war will cause a sudden surge in food supply.
The news about the war was made up by Zhou Qiang and deliberately leaked to Boss Wang.
In recent years, there has been no war here in Zishui County.
The speculators in Zishui County are a little anxious.
Why?
Because the news about the war that should have appeared has not yet appeared.
Some people can't hold it any longer.
For example, Yuyan's food shop suddenly started selling food.
And they sell it secretly.
Still sold at a high price.
Before anyone could react, all the grain was sold.
Made a lot of money!
What is an avalanche?
Wang Yuyan sold grain and caused an avalanche.
Good guy.
Just one or two hours.
Grain prices in Zishui County have plummeted five to six times and continue to fall.
But no one buys it!
Wang Juren's family.
"Dad, something happened!" Wang Laoer shouted.
"I know! Hurry, sell all the food!"
"We can't sell it, food is still plummeting!"
"What on earth is going on? Aren't we going to fight?" Wang Juren was furious again.
"I don't know, Yu Yan's grain was sold at a high price, and then the grain plummeted!" Wang Laoer was still confused.
"It's broken!" Wang Juren seemed to have thought of something and shouted, "It's over, it's all over!" and fainted.
Less than a day.
Food prices in Zishui County have plummeted.
Big fall, big fall.
Dropped to half the original price!
Only when prices fall to this level can they be considered stable.
Because, there are people who are collecting food tepidly at this price.
The doctor soon came to Wang's house.
"Wang Juren is fine. He's just suffering from anxiety. Just take some medicine and rest." The doctor came.
"It's okay, please, Doctor Tian." Boss Wang was still calm.
"Brother, what should we do now?" Wang Laoer looked anxious.
"Why are you panicking? You have to keep your composure and keep your composure unchanged even if Mount Tai collapses in front of you." Boss Wang reprimanded him. Boss Wang was also in a bad mood because he lost money.
Wang Laoer couldn't help shouting: "The food has plummeted, brother, the food has plummeted!"
"It's okay. The most I can do is lose some money." Mr. Wang's heart was bleeding, but he held on to his face.
"Brother, there is also a bank. We borrowed a lot of money from the bank!"
"What? What's going on?"
"Before, when I had no cash at home, I went to the bank to borrow money." Wang Laoer said about borrowing money.
"What? You're confused!" Wang Lao Er was furious. Finally he couldn't hold himself any longer. He stretched out his hand and slapped Wang Lao Er.
"Why did you hit me?" Wang Laoer was angry.
"Who asked you to go to the bank to borrow money?" Boss Wang also wanted to hit Lao Er Wang.
Not to be outdone, Wang Lao Er started a fight with Wang Lao Er.
It wasn’t just the Wang family that lost money.
Businessmen of all sizes in Zishui County lost money.
Many people are facing bankruptcy.
at this time.
A letter of complaint was sent to the Governor's Palace.
The report was about the Wang family's evil deeds.
(End of chapter)
