The three brothers haven't had dinner together for a long time. Zhang Wenyuan made a small fortune again, so today's food is very hard. He bought several cuts of pork alone. As for mutton, ordinary people can't afford it. Lian was reluctant to buy it. Not to mention beef - it was illegal to slaughter a cow privately in this era, so today was a proper pork dinner.
Although Li Dalian's cooking skills were average, facing a table full of dishes, the three brothers still ate happily and drank a full jar of wine.
After the meal, the three of them sat together again to discuss opening a textile factory. After the previous tit-for-tat, Zhang Wenning also knew that Zhang Wenyuan was not easy to mess with, so they became more normal when discussing the details. Zhang's mother came in from time to time, bringing tea and water, and adding a few words. Seeing the three brothers chatting and laughing, a knowing smile appeared on her face.
When the matter was almost over, the heavy wooden door was pushed open again. This time, it was not Zhang's mother who came to pour water, but Yan Poxi. Zhang Wen saw her holding the sick body in front of them, and couldn't help but frown and said, "You do it." What?"
Yan Poxi did not answer his words directly, but first filled Zhang Dalang and Zhang Erlang with tea, Yingying bowed down and said, "Master Yan of the Nu family pays homage to the eldest uncle and the second uncle!"
Seeing her rashly performing this act, Zhang Wenyuan frowned even more tightly and scolded, "Who let you in?"
Yan Poxi had tears in her eyes, said nothing, and looked like a child who had just made a mistake. Zhang Wenning glanced at her, then at Zhang Wenyuan, and hummed, "Huh... You are so poor that you can't even afford to eat, and you still support two wives, and you're not afraid of people's jokes!"
Seeing that this little girl started to pretend to be pitiful again to gain sympathy, and even conquered his two brothers, Zhang Wenyuan had a headache, so he could only continue to frown and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? All men are like dicks. You have no money now. When you get rich, you can’t wait to open a harem!”
After saying that, he glared at Yan Poxi again, "Why are you still standing there?"
Zhang Wenjing saw that Yan Poxi had a pretty face, a graceful figure, and was even more pitiful due to her morbid condition. She couldn't help but look at her a few more times and said, "Is she the one who made you go to jail? Tsk, she looks pretty good." ah!"
This bastard has been walking around the streets all year round and has met many women. He has become very slick. Zhang Wenyuan glanced at him and said angrily, "If you like it, just take her away!"
"This..." Zhang Wenjing waved her hand to refuse, "I am very poor, but I can't afford to support such a woman, so you should keep it! Besides, if your second sister-in-law finds out, it would be weird if she doesn't burn the house down!"
Zhang Wenning frowned and said, "A woman like this can't carry her shoulders, can't lift her hands, and is attracting bees and butterflies everywhere. What are you doing here?"
This eldest brother may have been used to lecturing others when he was a child, and he would show off his authority no matter what happened. Zhang Wenyuan was very helpless and had to explain, "You don't need to worry about this! She was kicked out by Song Jiang because of me and is sick again. She is only staying with me temporarily for a while. I will send her away when she recovers!" "
When Yan Poxi heard that Zhang Wenyuan was going to send her away, she immediately knelt down and cried, "Sanlang, I won't leave. You promised me before that you would support me for the rest of your life!"
After saying that, he looked at Zhang Wenning and Zhang Wenjing, "Uncle, second uncle, please help me to persuade Sanlang. Don't let him send my slave away. I really have nowhere to go now. I beg you." Got it!"
Good guy, you can't save the country through curves, so you have to go straight to the point. These old ladies are very resourceful and determined.
Zhang Wenning said, "Huh... don't involve me in your affairs, I find it embarrassing!"
Zhang Wenjing wanted to be a good person, so she looked at Zhang Wenyuan and said, "San'er, this bitch is also a pitiful person. If you make money in the future, you won't be short of food for her, so just keep her!"
Zhang Wenyuan said angrily, "You had your eyes on her just now, you might as well take her away."
Zhang Wenjing waved her hand and refused, "Don't talk nonsense, whose eyes are on her? Forget it, forget it, if you don't want to, forget it, I'm too lazy to care about your business!"
Zhang Wenyuan was very dissatisfied with Yan Poxi's behavior of encouraging her two brothers to put pressure on herself. He glared at her fiercely and shouted, "Why don't you get out quickly? What are you doing here to make yourself look embarrassing?"
Yan Poxi had a sore nose and had to go out crying to find Zhang Mu to intercede.
Zhang Wenjing looked at her bleak back and sighed, "Huh... she is a pitiful person too! San'er, you have hurt me like this, are you really going to let her go?"
Zhang Wenyuan spread his hands helplessly, "Well...I'm not that hard-hearted. The county master has already issued a decree that she is not allowed to settle in Yuncheng. How can I dare to keep her?"
Zhang Wenning snorted, "Huh... If you didn't mess with her, how did she end up in this situation? I think you should take him in, otherwise if the news gets out, you will be poked in the back and you will be unable to hold your head up for the rest of your life." Come!"
Zhang Wenyuan spread his hands again and sighed, "Well, I only used one sentence to instigate you to rebel, and now I am alone! Oh... this woman is so scheming!"
After sitting around for a while, Zhang Wenning stood up and said goodbye. Since he had decided to open a textile factory together, he would go back and quit his job, and then come here to live permanently.
Zhang Wenyuan sent him out of the courtyard and gave him a lot of money, "Didn't you say earlier that the children had no clothes to wear? Go buy some pieces of cloth and take them back and ask your sister-in-law to make some clothes for them. This can be regarded as my uncle." Just give it a little thought."
Zhang Wenning was stunned for a moment, and then he accepted the money honestly and politely.
Zhang Wenjing watched from the side and said with a smile, "Oh...it seems that you have really made a fortune. Why don't you give me a little bit of money after you gave me a lot of money?"
Zhang Wenyuan chuckled and said, "Do you also have children who have no clothes to wear?"
"Yes!" Zhang Wenjing said openly, "The two boys in my family only have one piece of clothing in total, and they are waiting for you to help them!"
Zhang Wenyuan pointed outside and said, "Let's go shopping."
Zhang Wenjing said in shock, "Are you really going?"
Zhang Wenyuan smiled and said, "My mother said this morning that our house is too narrow to accommodate so many people. She wants me to build two wing rooms as soon as possible. Please accompany me to the building materials market and we will build the house as soon as possible." stand up!"
When Zhang Wenjing heard that a house was going to be built, she screamed, "Yo yo yo, you are really rich, tell me how you got rich!"
Naturally, Zhang Wenyuan would not say anything about selling invention patents at a low price, and would just find excuses to excuse it.
There are many building materials stores in Dongcheng and craftsmen who come to the city to make a living. The two of them walked straight to their destination after leaving the yard. On the way, Zhang Wenjing saw many people pointing at him. It was inevitable that they would ask about what happened in the past few days, but Zhang Wenyuan simply didn’t Ignore him and just keep walking. He feels bored and stops asking.
Although it was already afternoon, there were still a lot of people on the street. As soon as they appeared on the street, someone came up to ask, "I dare to ask the officials, but there is work to be delivered. My ancestors have been masons for three generations. Can you give me some work?" You can never make a mistake."
As soon as the man finished speaking, someone behind him laughed loudly and said, "Oh, it's Zhang Yasi. Zhang Yasi is no longer working in the county. Does he want to come here to fight for food with us?"
Zhang Wenyuan glanced at the man, frowned and said, "Mazi Liu, what are you farting about? Master, even if I don't work in the county government anymore, I won't come here to compete with you for food. Get away from me! I want to get up." Others can come and sit in the several side rooms, but you can’t come!”
Liu Mazi also snorted heavily, "Zhang, you are no longer a superintendent. Do you think you can boss us around like before? Huh, grandpa can work for people all over the county, but he just I won’t do any work for you!”
Zhang Wenyuan was too lazy to argue with him and asked the person who just greeted him, "Master, what's your name, are you willing to take this job from me?"
The man replied with a smile, "The villain's surname is also Zhang, and he is from the same family as Essi. I will take over your job..."
Master Zhang was about to agree, but Liu Mazi was making trouble next to him, "Zhang Laoqi, aren't you afraid that he will sleep with your mother-in-law? Your eldest daughter is also an adult, so be careful!"
Master Zhang froze when he heard this. He turned to look at Liu Mazi and his attitude changed, "Zhang Yasi, logically you shouldn't refuse this job, but I just remembered something and plan to go back to my hometown tomorrow." Look, I’m really sorry!”
"Damn it!" Zhang Wenyuan stared at Liu Mazi fiercely, but the guy was as cocky as a normal person. He sneered and said, "How about it, Zhang, come and bite me!"
Zhang Wenyuan really wanted to go up and bite him a few times, but when he thought that he was now at the lowest point in his life, he tried his best to hold it back. I asked a few more people, but was rejected without exception. Zhang Wenyuan didn't feel anything, but Zhang Wenjing couldn't bear it anymore and began to curse, "What's wrong with these people? Why do they stop working as soon as they hear your name? It's not like I don't give them money!"
Zhang Wenyuan sneered and said, "You know what you're asking, let's go home!"
Back home, Zhang Wenjing was still angry. After scolding the snobbish craftsman, she complained to Zhang Wenyuan again, "Hey... San'er, I heard a saying in the book that says, "Eat a thousand, grow one foot, you have to learn from it" Lesson learned, don’t do such evil things in the future!”
Zhang Wenyuan thought for a long time and still understood what he was talking about, "Brother, don't speak in a pornographic manner. That's like learning from mistakes and gaining wisdom. If you don't know how to use idioms, don't use them."
"Yes, yes, yes, you are all right!" Zhang Wenjing was a little angry after being slapped in the face, "Then what do you think we should do now? Should we repair the house ourselves?"
Zhang Wenyuan is much smarter than him, "Why are you panicking? Let's go tomorrow."
Zhang Wenjing looked at him as if he were a fool, "Are you still going?"
Zhang Wenyuan said calmly, "I won't go, you can go alone!"
"Ah, why?" Zhang Wenjing said half a sentence before she realized, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll go alone and I'll make sure it's done for you!"
