Mrs. Wang's fainting frightened the few people who came to see his family's joke. They carried them into the house in a hurry. Uncle Chu and Chu Ren ran away in a hurry before they could ask. I went home, for fear that Mr. Wang would break his head and blackmail them again!
But even if they all hid, the fact that Chu Ren failed to win the exam still spread throughout Kaoshan Village in less than half a day!
The only blame is that Mrs. Wang was too public before. Before Chu Ren could really become the master of Juren, he started to act like the master of Juren, and unknowingly offended too many people!
No, as soon as they heard that Wang Shibai was messing around and messing around, the first reaction of many people was, he deserves it!
This matter has caused quite a stir. Whenever Uncle Chu's family goes out now, they will be criticized.
Even when Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu were in the village, they would be mentioned behind their backs: "That's the eldest grandson from their family. Tsk tsk tsk..."
Because of this incident, the whole Chu family was very dissatisfied with the Wang family. Even Chu Ren, who had always been very humble and polite, turned his face towards the Wang family!
It wasn't until the end of September that another big event happened in the village, and Chu Ren's incident was temporarily forgotten by people.
On the 26th, the large paper ingots custom-made by my second aunt Sun were finally completed. They totaled twenty gold and twenty silver, and her stomach was filled with small paper ingots.
Uncle Cui and his young son Cui Yan drove a bullock cart specially. Forty large shiny ingots were neatly stacked on the bullock cart, which immediately attracted the attention of all passers-by!
Shen Luzhu took out a few sacks from the shop and handed them to Chu Yi, so that he could cover the paper ingots on the car to prevent them from falling off the car due to bumps on the road, or being accidentally stained by water or dust.
Chu Yi took the sack and shook it open. Just as he was about to cover it on the car, he was stopped by Uncle Cui: "No, no, no, no need to cover Ayi."
"Don't hold on tight. I'm afraid that if someone falls off the car, my second uncle will have to stop to pick it up."
Second Uncle Cui waved his hand: "No, Cui Yan is watching from behind. You can't drop it! Your Second Aunt specially warned you when you went out, and walk openly and openly. If you are afraid of bumps, just go a little further and choose a smooth road." Just walk slowly, tomorrow is the official day anyway, so just deliver it before tonight!"
Little cousin Cui Yan was already sitting on the back of the car: "Yes, cousin, my mother-in-law said, walk more roads and walk slowly, hahaha!"
There is nothing Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu don't understand now. The second aunt must know that their business has been hindered recently and wants to take this opportunity to advertise to them!
Shen Luzhu walked up to Second Uncle Cui and bowed deeply: "Thank you Second Uncle and Second Aunt for your kindness!"
"Hey, they are all members of our family, so we can't say thank you! Let's go!"
After Uncle Cui finished speaking, he also got on the ox cart, raised his whip and drove the ox cart away from the gate of Chu's courtyard.
Cui Yan also waved his hand and said goodbye to the young couple: "Cousin and cousin, we are leaving!"
Chu Yi nodded at him: "Be careful and sit tight."
The Cui family father and son pulled the cart full of gold ingots and walked slowly and leisurely, first strolling around all the roads in Kaoshan Village.
Then he didn't go directly to the town. Instead, he took a long detour and went to other villages. He wandered around for a long time, and finally left for the Sun family in the town!
The large ingots in the entire car are made of gold and silver and are very eye-catching. They sway under the bright autumn sun, reflecting the dazzling golden light. They slowly sway with the movement of the car, like a small golden ocean that moves on its own. .
All the villagers who saw this scene were shocked!
The paper money made in Chu's shop is completely different from other shops!
The lady washing clothes by the river looked at the shining golden car rear and sighed: "The Chu family's paper money is so well made, it's just like the real thing. Did you listen to what the kid in the car just said? It’s for delivery to the town!”
The aunt next to me also said: "Yes, looking at it this way, it must be the Chu family's paper money! Not only are there many types, but the quality is always good, unlike the Hu family's, which only has yellow paper money and is cheap. There is no benefit at all. A few days ago, my sister-in-law went to buy it. When she came back, she was very angry. She said that the Hu family's burning paper was getting worse and worse. Not to mention that the paper was much thinner than the original one, and many of the middle ones were ruined. Yes, shake it gently and the scum will fall off!"
After hearing this, the other aunt quickly put down the mallet in her hand: "Huh? Really or not? I originally planned to buy the paper money from him for the Winter Clothes Festival at a cheaper price. If there is no trick, then there will be nothing." If you say that, you can’t buy it from the Hu family, aren’t you fooling people!”
"That's right!"
"Oh, forget it, let's go to Chu's house to buy it. The old saying is right, if you take advantage of small things, you will suffer big losses!"
As soon as Chu Yi and Shen Luzhu saw off the Cui family and his son, they saw the fat aunt walking over from a distance on the village road, holding a knife of yellow burning paper in her hand.
The fat aunt hadn't been to the shop for a long time, and Shen Luzhu didn't know what she wanted to do when she came here with a knife to burn paper. Could it be that it was sold to her before?
"Auntie is here, what are you doing?"
The fat aunt seemed a little embarrassed and chuckled awkwardly at Shen Luzhu: "I want a knife with yellow paper... Wife of the Chu family, can you help my aunt choose a better knife?"
I'm just here to buy burning paper, so why do I have to carry another one in my hand?
Shen Luzhu was a little puzzled: "Auntie, we all burn paper the same way at home, there's no big difference. How about this? I'll pick the neatest one for you, okay?"
"Hey, it's done!"
The fat aunt took the yellow paper from Shen Luzhu, touched it with her hands, then opened it and looked inside carefully.
Shen Luzhu was feeling strange when he saw the fat aunt raised her head, looking embarrassed again, and said to herself: "Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, the quality of the paper money from your family is better! Look at the smooth face and cut. It’s also flat, the same inside and out!
Auntie, I'm really embarrassed. I was swearing at the Feng family before, but then I went to buy some paper money from the Hu family. But it turned out to be a good thing, because the person named Hu fooled me! Look at how rotten the paper money he sold me is! "
Shen Luzhu looked at the other knife held up by the fat aunt to burn paper. At first glance, he didn't think it was anything. But when he compared the two knives together, he clearly felt that the knife the fat aunt held was rougher. Quite a few.
As the fat aunt shakes, some pieces of paper will fall out in the middle, as if it has been weathered, it is very messy!
But after all, you get what you pay for, so I guess it was the Hu family who had to pay the price and exchange a batch of defective products for sale!
In this situation, it was difficult for Shen Luzhu to say anything. Why couldn't he say that he was right? His products were not good and he would come to my house to buy them from now on. He could only stand there and listen to the fat aunt's complaints.
"The paper money I needed for the entire Winter Clothes Festival was bought at Hu's house. I just found out yesterday that the paper was in such a torn state. I went to see him, and he actually said that all yellow burnt paper was like this. Anyway, it was burned in the end. Ash!"
…
"I'll go find him with these two in a moment and let him take a closer look with his eyes wide open. Is this the same?"
…
"Daughter-in-law of the Chu family, don't worry. If anyone spreads rumors about your family raising prices in the future, my fat aunt will be the first to refuse! I want to show them who is evil! Wait, aunt I went to his house and refunded the money, and then I came back to buy it from you!"
"Thank you, auntie!"
Shen Luzhu watched the fat aunt holding the two knives and burning paper and exiting her shop angrily. She didn't even bother to tell Chu Xiuxiu and ran to the courtyard to find Chu Yi after leaving the shop.
"Chu Yi!"
Chu Yi was doing work when he heard his recently separated wife calling him. He quickly looked up and saw his wife running over with a smile: "Chu Yi, let me tell you, the Hu family sold defective products to Fat Aunt, Fat Aunt." Auntie is now taking our burning paper and going to settle accounts with the Hu family!"
Chu Yi looked at his wife and asked, "Azhu wants to join in the fun?"
Seeing his wife nodding her head several times in succession and looking excited, Chu Yi couldn't help but find it funny: "Okay, then we'll make the coffin this afternoon!"
The young couple closed the shop and took Chu Xiuxiu to Wufang Village to watch the excitement. As soon as they locked the door of the shop, they bumped into their aunt Qian who came out from the courtyard carrying a wooden basin and was going to wash clothes by the river.
So the crowd to watch the excitement grew again. When Qian heard that the Hu family was going to suffer, he didn't care about washing clothes. He gave the wooden basin to his wife, called his son Chu Ping, and went to the Hu family in Wufang Village.
In the end, I don’t know whether they were anxious to watch the fun and walked too fast, or whether the fat aunt was delayed by something. The five of them arrived in front of Hu’s shop, but they didn’t see the fat aunt!
A few people stood under the poplar tree opposite the Hu's house for a while, but they didn't see any movement on the other side. Shen Luzhu was a little confused: "You're not coming, are you?"
Chu Ping stood on tiptoe and looked into the Hu family's yard: "Sister-in-law, are we too late and have already finished the work?"
"It can't be possible. The battle is over so soon?"
Qian shook her head: "I see, this fat aunt is probably calling for help."
Just as he was talking, he saw more than a dozen aunts and aunts coming on the way Shen Luzhu and the others came, each holding a lot of paper money in their hands and walking forward menacingly. The one leading the way was the fat aunt!
The group of people went straight to Hu's shop without entering the house. They stood outside the door and shouted: "Hu, please come out!"
"Come out! Come out!"
"Don't hide in there and act like a coward, come out quickly!"
Hu Shun was settling accounts in the house, but since they have moved to a new place to purchase goods these days, they finally don’t have to lose money to sell goods. Although they don’t make much, it’s better than losing money every day!
While he was having fun, he suddenly heard constant shouting and cursing outside. Hu Shun walked out of the house cursing and saw more than ten people outside, led by the fat woman who came to him to refund the money yesterday!
Hu Shun was stunned, and seeing that the situation was not good, he quickly turned around and planned to hide back in the house!
"He's going to run away, hold him down!"
"Where are you going?"
Before Hu Shun could close the door of the shop, he was dragged back by several aunts and ladies behind him!
Hu Shun was pushed and fell to the ground. A group of aunts and ladies surrounded him, pointing and yelling at him.
"You black-hearted person, you actually fooled us with those junk things. If we refund the money, you give us the money back!"
"That's right! Let the Hu family refund our money!"
Hu Shun finally got up from the ground. When he heard that these shrews were shouting for his money back, he instantly became energetic. He still remembered that he was scared and wanted to hide just now, and he started to argue with a group of women with his neck holding his neck: "Refund? Fart! You shrews, you think I, Hu Shun, am easy to bully, don't you? Even if the King of Heaven comes today, I can't refund you!"
"You little brat, who are you calling a shrew?"
"It's you who are scolding me! You've taken your stuff home, and now you want to refund your money? What a dream! You just want to use it for nothing, you are liars who are here to defraud money! If you keep yelling, I will report it to the authorities to catch the liar!"
"You are the liar, and your whole family is a liar!"
"Sisters, beat him to death for being such a shameless bastard!"
The ladies and aunts surrounding Hu Shun rushed up one after another, grabbing at Hu Shun's face and body. Hu Shun, who had just stood in the middle, and his height was still obvious, was drowned in an instant, leaving only a loud shout. A scream!
