This situation was indeed beyond Chu's expectations. When she heard that her grandson wanted to stop doing it, she was a little at a loss: "Well, when did I tell you that I wouldn't let you do it?"
If this person is used to getting money easily, how could he let it go so easily? Grandma Chu was just feeling uncomfortable at first, but after listening to Wang's words, she thought it would be nice to ask for more money, but she never thought about it after she stopped the stall!
As long as the stall is still selling, regardless of whether it is more or less, she can always get something every month, not just money, but just food and clothing, Chu Yi and his wife have been sending home a lot in the past two months. Buying, there is no separation, and the things are naturally used together. If the stall stops, there will really be nothing!
Shen Luzhu walked across the kitchen to Chu Yi, took Chu Yi's arm, and looked at Grandma Chu but did not speak.
Grandma Chu felt that she really shouldn't have listened to Mrs. Wang in the first place. If she had known it, she would have kept quiet. It would have been better to get three taels of silver every month: "Ms. Shen, let's do what we agreed before, three taels of silver every month." !”
Wang was also confused when she was poked by Grandma Chu next to her, and she also reacted: "Ah, yes, otherwise we should do as before!"
Shen Luzhu leaned on Chu Yi's arm, lowered his head without looking at Grandma Chu and Mrs. Wang, and tapped the ground with his toes: "But I think it's good like this now, why don't you change it? If anything, Grandma Tian and Auntie think something is wrong again, so it’s troublesome to change it again and again!”
Chu Yi looked sideways at his wife and supported her: "Indeed."
Shen Luzhu snickered in his heart, but didn't show it on his face: "Besides, if I earn more in a certain month, I will only give three taels to my family. Just like the aunt said, we will feel bad..."
"How could it be possible? No way! Besides... besides, this business is yours to begin with. Isn't that 30 taels used to subsidize the half-day vacation? There is no sense of regret. Let's stick to the previous one!" Chu A Nai said, pushing Wang again and telling her to stop standing and scream!
Seeing that Mrs. Wang was pushed several times by Grandma Chu, Shen Luzhu couldn't help but find it funny, and most of the anger he had received from Mrs. Wang had disappeared!
Moreover, the goal of asking them to return to three taels per month has been achieved. Shen Luzhu felt that it was time to take the next step, so he quietly squeezed Chu Yi's hand.
Chu Yi understood: "It's not impossible to listen to grandma."
Grandma Chu saw her grandson relenting, and she also breathed a sigh of relief: "Okay, okay, okay, that's right, then August and September..."
"Grandma, don't be anxious. I think it's better to call Grandpa here first. After all, it's a family matter. We can't always discuss it in private without telling Grandpa, right?" Shen Luzhu looked at Grandma Chu steadily and interrupted. If she asks for money.
Grandma Chu hesitated again and again, and finally called Grandpa Chu. The two of them murmured in the main room for a long time before calling Chu Yi and others to come in.
After listening to what his wife said, Grandpa Chu had many complaints against Mrs. Wang. He felt that she was greedy and stupid, and was being fooled around by a junior. He was also dissatisfied with Shen Luzhu, who contradicted and teased her elders for some money, and also Not a worry-free one!
Sitting on the main seat, Mr. Chu took a thin cigarette bag and smoked it. Seeing that everyone had entered the room and sat down, he raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Wang, and then looked at Mr. Chu Yi and his wife: "Ms. Shen, back then it was You came to me and your grandma took the initiative to mention this matter, and today I called everyone here, but do you have any other ideas?"
Seeing that Grandpa Chu didn’t mention a word about his uncle and grandma’s regrets, his words seemed to be blaming himself for looking for trouble! If grandpa and grandma hadn't been alone for a long time, and if she hadn't just happened to see grandpa giving his eldest uncle a look, Shen Luzhu would have thought that Grandpa Chu's handiwork was involved!
"It's nothing. It's just that while everyone is here, my granddaughter-in-law wants to invite me, the patriarch, to come over and give us a witness!"
Normally, Shen Luzhu should just give up when she sees fit. Even if she doesn't care about the Wang family, she still has to take care of Grandpa Chu and Grandma. After all, they are Chu Yi's relatives and they will continue to live together in the future. It's really tearing. Losing face is always a bad thing!
But the matter has come to this. If we don't take the opportunity to explain the matter clearly and force the Chu family to make a promise, this incident will probably happen in the future!
"Zila" sound! Shen Luzhu's words were like water droplets splashing into hot oil, catching everyone in the Chu family off guard!
Mr. Chu, who thought the young couple just wanted to take the opportunity to file a complaint, was really surprised and immediately asked loudly: "Ms. Shen, what do you mean?"
Shen Luzhu looked calmly into Mr. Chu's eyes and said calmly: "We are all elders here. We don't want to listen to any elder's orders. It's just like this... Today this person thinks it's inappropriate here. Tomorrow That person felt that something was wrong. My granddaughter-in-law really didn’t know how to do this business! She just wanted to ask for convenience and asked the patriarch to come and make a charter and be a witness! One day in the future, in case, My grandson’s daughter-in-law didn’t do well, and she made some mistakes. With this mistake, I can save my grandpa and grandma from suffering a loss, right?”
Hear this, hear this! Every sentence is the respect of the younger generation to the elders, and every sentence is out of fear that they will suffer a loss, but every sentence is not a nod to him, nor is it a statement that family members should not interfere in their affairs!
As soon as she was in the kitchen, Mrs. Wang felt that something bad was going on. Seeing that her mother-in-law was really being nudged to find her father-in-law, she was afraid that the shit would end up on her head. She thought about sneaking away, but Chu Yi and his wife had been standing nearby, so they had no choice but to follow them into the house!
Upon hearing what Shen Luzhu said, Wang was like a cat that had been stepped on in a sore spot, and her hair suddenly exploded: "Shen, what do you mean? I'm just giving you a few words. If you don't want anyone to force you, you You still want to complain to the clan leader!"
"I'm just like my aunt. I'm worried that my grandpa will suffer a loss, and I want to ask the clan leader to be a witness. How can I complain about it? I haven't done anything wrong, so what are I afraid of?"
"Stop talking nonsense to me here, who's afraid? If you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!" Wang was so excited that she lost her mind. She stood up suddenly, pointed at Shen Luzhu and shouted, as if she really wanted to tear her apart. generally!
When Chu Yi heard the sound, he stood up and stood in front of Shen Luzhu!
With a "pop", the tea bowl that was just in Grandpa Chu's hand was thrown to the floor of the hall and shattered into pieces!
"Everyone, sit down!"
Whether it was because Mr. Chu yelled at her or because she was frightened by the shattered pieces of the tea bowl, Mrs. Wang didn't dare to say anything more and sat back angrily.
Grandpa Chu looked around the people in the room, took several deep breaths, and said to Shen Luzhu in a low voice: "It's just a small matter at home. Mrs. Shen, just tell me what you think. There's no need to beat around the bush or talk about anything." Whether you want to find the clan leader or not, old man, if I agree, I can’t help you!”
"My grandpa is of course true to his word, but if someone comes to grandson's wife next time and tells me what grandpa has decided..." Shen Luzhu only said half of his words before he stopped talking, but he didn't understand the people in the room. But everyone understood it!
"I am still in charge of the Chu family, the old man! I have decided this matter, and I will do it as I said before. If anyone says anything in the future, you can come to me!"
The paper money stall in front of Chu's house was reopened. Shen Luzhu thought that after stopping for almost two months, he would lose a lot of the customers he had managed to accumulate before. Who would have thought that within two days of the stall, the news spread nearby? After opening, the passenger flow was not affected at all.
It turned out that for more than a month, the villagers had to go to the town to buy when they needed it. Not only did they not have the copper coins to burn paper, which was widely recognized by them, but they also had to pay for the ride and travel time. In comparison, it was better to go to Shen Luzhu’s stall to buy. More convenient and cost-effective!
The copper money burning paper that Zhao Cheng, Chu Ping and the Shen family had secretly made before were also sent to the Chu family one after another, and Shen Luzhu's paper money business was on the right track again.
Unless there are days like Qingming Festival and Ghost Festival, the business of the paper money stalls is not busy. Although they have to prepare for the Winter Clothes Festival and Spring Festival, Chu Yi and his wife only need to go to town every few days to restock goods and go home. Then distribute it to each family. Collect the prepared copper coins and burn the paper every day, and just press the knife to calculate the money!
With nothing to do, Shen Luzhu remembered the printing plate that Chu Yi said was ready on his previous birthday.
The printing plate was carved very carefully by Chu Yi, and all sides were polished smooth. There was a handle on the back for easy handling when reprinting. The ink-stained side was also coated with tung oil to prevent the wood from absorbing too much when reprinting. ink. Shen Luzhu took the paper and ink she bought last time at home and tried it. The printed banknotes were very neat and clear. She could print out a dozen in a short time, much faster than she could draw!
"Chu Yi, you are such a genius! Look at the money printed on this banknote, there is no difference at all from what I drew before!"
"Then I'll hurry up and make a few more." Seeing that his wife was satisfied, Chu Yi guessed that she might sell the banknote paper money soon, so he planned to make a few more printing plates as soon as possible.
Shen Luzhu knew what Chu Yi meant, and thought about it carefully: "This bank note has such a large denomination, why not just sell it by the sheet. I don't think anyone will buy too many at once. This printing plate should be enough for the time being." We’ve used it!”
"Okay, listen to A-Zhu!"
When Shen Luzhu had nothing to do, he would cut paper, dip a printing plate in ink and print a few sheets. Within two days, all the white paper I bought last time was printed into banknote paper money, and I saved a thick dozen. Then the news spread in the village that the paper money stall in front of Chu's house had a new model. Got it!
The aunt from the neighboring village who came to buy paper money pointed at the banknote and asked, "Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, what is this new thing your family got? Can you tell me about it?"
"Auntie, this is banknote paper money. It looks similar to a banknote, but this one is specially prepared for weddings. The face value of one piece is ten million taels of silver!"
People passing by were surprised and asked: "You mean this is a banknote for a dead person? We have never seen what a banknote looks like when we have grown up. Let me see it!"
After hearing this, Shen Luzhu smiled and handed over a piece of banknote paper to the man for a closer look. The man held it in his hand and looked left and right. He saw a white piece of paper with many beautiful patterns painted on it. It looked much better than the previous yellow burnt paper: "What is written on it is What?"
Shen Luzhu took another piece of paper money, pointed to the words on it, and read it to the person one by one: "The top is 'Heaven and Earth Bank', and what is written on both sides is 'Heaven and earth are common, burn into gold; good gods protect, evil "Gods stay away", and the big character in the middle is "Ten million taels of silver"!"
"It's really tens of millions of taels of silver! Then how did you sell the paper money for the banknote?"
"This is sold by the piece, two cents a piece!"
The aunt from the neighboring village was a little hesitant after hearing this: "Two pennies is not much, but just buying such a piece of paper. Twenty cents can buy a knife of yellow burnt paper. It's only ten pieces. It's not very cost-effective!"
