Shen Luzhu and Chu Ping talked very well, as if they didn't care at all, and they were still going to watch the lion dance. In fact, they were still a little unsure.
As soon as Chu Ping left, Shen Luzhu ran to the yard, squatted next to Chu Yi, and told him about this!
"Chu Yi, do you think they are targeting us by making it so grand?"
Chu Yi picked up the rag that was lying aside and wiped his hands. Then he pulled a small stool, supported his wife's arm, and asked her to sit down: "It's just a celebration of the opening of the shop. Don't pay too much attention to A Zhu."
Shen Luzhu carefully analyzed their transactions over the past year. I feel that the reason why I can do it so smoothly and successfully is because, to be honest, I stand for "independence"! In nearby villages, they are the only ones who sell paper money, and the style of their paper money is the only one in Changshui Town and even Ningchuan Prefecture!
Coupled with some public opinion and coincidence, they successfully saved their first pot of gold.
"But..." She also knew that it was the person's freedom to open or not open any shop, but her emotions would still be affected to some extent.
"unhappy?"
"Um."
"My family used to make money selling paper, which was the only one around here, but we have never made such a profit before. It is all because of us, A-Zhu!"
Chu Yi is really getting better and better!
Seeing that his wife finally smiled, Chu Yicai picked up the tools at his feet and prepared to finish the remaining work before lunch.
Shen Luzhu rested his arms on his knees, held his face in his hands, looked at her husband's handsome figure, and smiled like a flower. Her Chu Yi was so good at talking, she knew it without even using her brain. What he said makes sense, hehe!
"Then let's go join in the fun the day after tomorrow. I want to go see the lion dance, but I haven't seen it yet!"
"Okay, listen to our A-Zhu."
In the afternoon, when Zhao Cheng came to deliver copper coins and burn paper, he also specifically told Chu Yi about Wufang Village.
"Did you hear that someone in Wufang Village wants to open a paper money shop?"
Chu Yi nodded while taking the burned paper code handed over by Zhao Cheng. Shen Luzhu had already told him about this matter during the lunch break: "I heard from Chu Ping that it was a person named Hu." People. ”
"I don't know about this, but my grandma heard people chatting about it when she was washing clothes by the river. I heard that the battle was quite big! What do you think about this?"
Chu Yi didn't say what he had in mind, he just suggested lightly: "If you have nothing to do that day, why not join in the fun together."
Zhao Cheng was stunned for a moment, looked at his calm friend, thought for a moment, and then felt relieved. That's right, no one can stop people from opening a shop normally, and nothing has happened yet. How can they mess up their own situation first? Besides, the paper money in the shop is the only one in the town, so there is really nothing to worry about.
"become!"
For more than a day after that, not only Zhao Cheng and Chu Ping, but also many people heard about it one after another. The Shen family and Chu Yi's maternal ancestor Cui family all came over to tell the young couple that they would stay together. Jiang Juan in Zhutun Village knew about it, which shows how big the Hu family's battle is this time!
Seeing that Jiang Juan was sweating and still out of breath when speaking, Shen Luzhu hurriedly handed over a handkerchief: "Don't worry, cousin, just take a break. We've heard about this too, so just drive away. That's not the case." No matter what the big deal, no matter what business we do, we can’t always be just one family, he drives his, and we continue to sell ours.”
Jiang Juan calmed down for a while and then said: "As long as my cousin and sister-in-law know about it, I was also panicked when I heard about it on the way. I wanted to come over quickly and say it. My cousin-in-law is right. Thinking about it, it really doesn't matter. It’s not a big deal, I’m too careless.”
"You are also worried about me and your cousin. It's normal!"
"Well, Cousin-in-law, I'll go back first. Xiaobao is still at home." Jiang Juan stood up and walked out.
When Shen Luzhu, who was counting the coins, saw this, he quickly called the person back and weighed the coins in his hand towards her: "I haven't received today's money yet!"
"Ah, yes, I forgot about it. Thank you, cousin!"
Jiang Juan took the copper plate that Shen Luzhu had worn, and without knowing what she was thinking, she lowered her head and headed towards the door again.
Shen Luzhu stopped the person again in a funny way: "What's wrong with my cousin today? Why is she so absent-minded? I haven't picked up the paper for today. Isn't the ink stick almost used? Let's take back some more!" "
"Oh, okay...cousin!"
"Well, what's wrong?"
"No, it's nothing." Jiang Juan said, looking at the coins she just took, and putting them back on the counter: "How about cousin, I won't take the money today. Just put it here first. My cousin helps me save it first, and I’ll come back to get it later.”
Shen Luzhu always felt that something was wrong with Jiang Juan today: "Cousin, did something happen to you?"
"No cousin, I just walked too fast. It's hot and I'm still a little confused. I'll just go back and have a rest in a while!"
"Okay then, leave the money with me first and I'll keep the account for you. You go back and have a good rest." Shen Luzhu said and handed the wrapped things to Jiang Juan.
"Well, cousin, I'm leaving."
"Okay, you must tell us if you have anything."
"Okay, don't worry, cousin!"
Jiang Juan set out on her way home with a heavy heart. She had indeed walked very fast when she came, and she even had to run for a part of the way. Not only to hurry over and report the news to her cousin, but also because she met Wang Tiecheng. Got it!
Although the two families are in Zhutun Village, they don't live close to each other. In addition, Jiang Juan doesn't walk around the village very much on weekdays, and Wang Tiecheng spends all day in the casino. This is the first time Jiang Juan has left the Wang family since she left. Met him once.
But Jiang Juan knew that Wang Tiecheng was waiting for her there on purpose!
Today she was like usual. After entrusting the little treasure to her grandma, she went out to her cousin's shop in Kaoshan Village. The whole journey from home was normal. She was on the only way to the two villages. Wang Tiecheng was blocked.
At first, Jiang Juan just caught a glimpse of someone squatting on the mound of dirt beside the road, and didn't pay much attention to it. It wasn't until she was stopped by that person that she realized it was Wang Tiecheng!
"Hey, what a coincidence! Why, you didn't see me!"
Jiang Juan panicked for a moment, then remembered that the two of them had nothing to do with each other anymore, so she ignored him and turned sideways to avoid being stopped by Wang Tiecheng again.
"Jiang Juan, how long has it been since then? I don't even know your child's father anymore, huh? You don't even say hello when we meet!"
Wang Tiecheng held a grass stem in his mouth. As he spoke, his mouth moved up and down. Jiang Juan stared at the grass, as if it was not a grass but a steel needle, pricking her body one by one. !
Jiang Juan tightened the package in her arms and tried to calm down the surging images in her mind: "Are you okay? If nothing happens, just get out of the way. I still have something to do."
Wang Tiecheng smiled and moved forward. Jiang Juan turned her head away with disgust on her face.
Wang Tiecheng chuckled: "Ha! Of course I have something to do. I'm a little tight lately, so I asked you to borrow some money to spend."
"I don't have any money to give you!"
"Jiang Juan, stop pretending to me! Pretend I don't know. You're working for your cousin who runs a shop. I've heard people say that the female workers they recruit can be paid for a month. More than a tael of silver, and you are his cousin."
Wang Tiecheng paused and tapped the package in front of Jiang Juan with his finger: "Everyone else is working at his house, but you are special. You can take the work home, so I'll give it to you!"
Jiang Juan took a few steps back and confronted Wang Tiecheng: "I have no money, and I won't give it to you if I have it!"
Wang Tiecheng grinned and shook his head: "You may not have any money now. You will have it when you get back from your cousin. Go quickly, I will wait for you!"
With that said, Wang Tiecheng, who had been blocking Jiang Juan, gave way. Jiang Juan hurriedly ran over and ran a long way in one breath before stopping, turning back and shouting at the figure in the distance: "I'm going to tell my cousin now." Cousin, ask them to call the police to arrest you!"
After saying that, he turned around and ran away, for fear that Wang Tiecheng behind him would catch up!
Jiang Juan didn't know how long she ran, but she couldn't run anymore. When she turned around and saw no one behind her, she leaned against a tree by the road and gasped for air.
It was while resting here that Jiang Juan heard people passing by talking about someone in Wufang Village who wanted to open a paper money shop.
After hearing this, Jiang Juan didn't know whether this matter would have any impact on her cousin's shop. She just hurried over and talked to her cousin first.
She originally wanted to talk to Shen Luzhu about Wang Tiecheng, but thinking that her cousin and cousin had helped her so much before and were busy now, she decided to forget it.
Jiang Juan hurried home in fear. When she passed by the place where she was stopped just now, she saw no one around her, so she was relieved. She thought that maybe her words had an effect. Wang Tiecheng was afraid of being caught and did not dare to wait there. she.
Just when he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw a tall man running over in the direction of Zhutun Village!
"Sister!"
Phew, it turned out to be Jiang Quan. Seeing that his sister was much later than usual today, he came out to greet her!
Jiang Quan quickly ran to Jiang Juan and took the package from her hand: "Sister, why are you so late today? My mother has already made dinner and I haven't seen you back. I'm afraid you might have been delayed by something. Let me come out to greet you."
"I chatted with my cousin for a while today, so it's a little late... By the way, brother, have you seen Wang Tiecheng recently?"
Jiang Quan scratched his head, a little puzzled: "I haven't seen him since the last time I was at his house, but I heard people in the village talking about his family. His family was divided. His brothers and sisters-in-law They refused to stay with him no matter what, so they all separated, leaving only him and his parents! Sister, why are you asking him so politely?"
Jiang Juan took a deep breath: "When I went to my cousin's house just now, I met Wang Tiecheng. He knew that I was working for my cousin's house and asked me for money!"
"What! This beast, he still has the nerve to come here? Sister, are you okay?"
"It's okay. Originally, he said he would wait for me to come back. I said I would tell my cousin and sister-in-law to report him to the police, but when he came back he disappeared. Maybe he ran away because he was afraid."
"This is shameless! Sister, you must stay away from him next time we meet. If he dares to stop you again, I will beat him until he has teeth on the ground!" Jiang Quan waved his fist, as if he was the king at this moment. It's as if the iron success is right in front of you.
"I know, sister, be careful next time."
"No, no, sister. It's up to me to start delivering things tomorrow. I'll deliver paper money to my cousin to see if that beast dares to come again. He just sees you as easy to bully, sister!"
When he first started doing this job, Jiang Quan said that he would do the errands, but Jiang Juan refused. Adi had to help the family with work on weekdays, which was already very hard, so he just walked a few more steps. It's about the road, why bother bothering anyone anymore.
But now, what Jiang Quan said makes sense. If Jiang Quan goes to deliver it, Wang Tiecheng will definitely not dare to show up: "That's fine, I just have to work hard for you."
"What's the matter, sister? It's just a matter of walking a few more steps!"
"Brother, please don't talk to Aniang and the others about today's matter, and don't mention it to your cousins. My matter is enough for everyone to worry about. It is estimated that Wang Tiecheng will not come again in the future, so don't Make everyone angry and worried."
"Okay, I understand, sister!"
