There were only ten female workers in Shen Luzhu's small workshop. After the dispute about working in groups, Shen Luzhu divided these ten people into five groups in pairs, and worked every six days. A team of two people was changed to be responsible for cutting paper, and it took just one month to complete all the work in rotation.
On the seventh day of October, it was time to rotate positions again. This time it was the turn of Da Chun'er and the second aunt of the Fang family.
Before the official day, Wang Cui'er came to the origami end of the first two nights just after work. As soon as Da Chun'er came out of the door, she happily stepped forward and took Da Chun'er's arm: "Da Chun'er Sister-in-law, I’ll go with you today, and let’s have a chat.”
When Da Chun'er saw that she was waiting for him outside the house and was so attentive, he knew without guessing that Wang Cui'er wanted to change positions with him.
But Da Chun'er herself must be in the paper-cutting group this time, otherwise how could she monitor Wang Cui'er?
If you don't monitor her, how can you find an opportunity to take her away? If you don't take her away, your sister will have to wait until the Year of the Monkey to go?
Who made her feel wrong? It’s not anyone else’s fault! ..
Da Chun'er thought about it and quickly took her arm out of Wang Cui'er's arms: "We are not on the same page. My home is in the east end and your home is in the north end. How can we walk together?"
Seeing this, Wang Cui'er hurriedly pestered her: "By the way, by the way, I'm going to the butcher shop in the east to cut some meat today. It's just the way. Let's have a chat and be company!"
Da Chun'er had no choice but to be pulled by Wang Cui'er and walked with her. As soon as the ten female workers came out of the yard of the grandfather's house next door, they each walked in the direction of their own homes, and soon they disappeared.
When Wang Cui'er saw that there were no other people around, she gently shook Da Chun'er's arm: "Sister-in-law Da Chun'er, let me discuss something with you, okay?"
Da Chun'er pretended not to know: "What's going on? Tell me and I'll listen."
"It's not a big deal, it's just that you guys are about to change jobs. I want to discuss with you. Is it okay if I do the paper-cutting work for you? I think everyone prefers to do the origami work. , I don’t care, sister-in-law Da Chun’er, you’re a nice person, so I’ll give you this origami job in exchange!”
Da Chun'er had been waiting for her to say this all the way. He had already thought about how to refuse her, and a little apology appeared on his face at the right time: "Oh, this is so bad, I haven't done any paper cutting for a long time. Besides, Cui'er, you are also doing the paper-cutting job now. How can you keep doing it? No, no, no, no, no, no, no, I will let everyone know later, and you can't say that I, Da Chun'er, am bullying others? It can’t be done!”
Wang Cui'er was a little surprised. She didn't expect that Da Chun'er would disagree. Others had readily agreed before, but it didn't matter. Da Chun'er didn't agree because there was Aunt Fang.
After work on the evening of the sixth day of the lunar month, the scene from the previous night happened again, but this time the target was Aunt Fang.
Just like yesterday, Wang Cui'er walked out of Da Chun'er's sight happily, carrying Aunt Fang on her arm.
If the direction hadn't been completely opposite, Da Chun'er would have wanted to follow her and have a look. At this moment, she was even more anxious than Wang Cui'er, wishing that Aunt Fang would nod in agreement immediately!
She seemed to be able to see Wang Cuier being kicked out, and her sister was waving to her when she came to do some work!
Early the next morning, Da Chun'er deliberately came to work long in advance, sat on the kang in the paper-cutting room, and waited happily for Wang Cui'er to enter the room.
But who would have thought that before it was time to start work, Aunt Fang opened the door!
"Hey, it's so early today, Da Chun'er!"
Da Chun'er's sweet dream was shattered. She was so surprised that she almost slipped off the edge of the kang: "Auntie, why are you here? Aren't you Wang Cuier?"
Hearing this, Second Aunt Fang looked at Da Chun'er with a surprised look on her face: "Who told you that today is hers, Wang Cui'er?"
"Ah, no, no... I guessed it myself. She didn't leave with you, aunt, yesterday. I thought she wanted to tell you about the changing of the guard!"
Second Aunt Fang smiled knowingly: "Did her predecessor also tell you about this?"
"Ah, yes, that's why I guessed that today is hers. Doesn't Auntie agree?"
Da Chun'er felt suspicious in her heart. Could it be that Second Aunt Fang also noticed something was wrong with Wang Cuier and wanted to find someone to stand up to her?
Second Aunt Fang was still a little unhappy when she mentioned this matter: "Oh, I don't know what's going on with Wang Cuier. She started talking nicely, but before I could agree, she just said a word, and she suddenly said I won’t change it anymore!”
"She said she won't change it?" Da Chun'er couldn't believe it. How could she say that she wouldn't change it if she didn't?
Wang Cuier is no longer on duty, so how can she still look at her and find out what’s wrong with her!
"No!"
"Auntie, what did you tell her?"
"I asked her why she seems to be cutting paper all the time lately. Did she suddenly realize that there are any benefits to this job?
She suddenly said, "It's okay, it's just what I'm used to doing, and she just said I'm not willing to change it." I said no, but she still said she wouldn't change it, and left after saying that! Do you think she is playing tricks on me? Who is he? Really! "
Da Chun'er was just as angry as Aunt Fang, that's right, she said she wouldn't change it, which made her happy in vain. Who is she? Really!
At this time, Wang Cuier was even more depressed than Second Aunt and Da Chun'er. Not only was she depressed, she had been in a state of extreme panic since last night. She couldn't close her eyes all night without talking, and she couldn't calm down even after doing anything. , the slightest movement can scare her half to death!
The story started more than half a month ago. When Wang Cuier came home from work that day, she saw her mother-in-law waiting for her at a fork in the road not far from her husband's house.
Wang Cui'er got married to Kaoshan Village in the autumn of the year before last. Her natal family is from Wufang Village. The two villages are very close to each other. Her mother-in-law is a reasonable person. When she has nothing to do, Wang Cui'er will go back to her natal home every now and then.
Wang Cuier was startled when she saw her mother-in-law waiting for her at the intersection. She thought something had happened to her family!
"Auntie, why are you here? But what's going on at home?"
Wang Cuier's mother-in-law waved her hands and said cheerfully: "The family is doing well. It's a great thing that I came to see you! My daughter, you are going to be prosperous!"
"Auntie, what are you talking about? You've confused me!"
Wang Cuier, her mother-in-law, looked around, then mysteriously approached her daughter and whispered, "Do you know the Hu family in our village is the one who also opened a paper money shop in the autumn?"
Wang Cuier nodded: "What don't you know about this? Isn't it the one who competed with the Chu family who worked for sex, and then almost destroyed the whole house!"
Wang Cuier and her mother-in-law hit her on the shoulder: "What are you talking about? You will never say that again in the future, you know? You can make us understand the matter of the big boss! My mother-in-law is telling you, this is the Hu family I’m looking for you and want to give you money!”
"Aniang is just talking nonsense. What kind of money did they give me?"
"Can I still lie to you? Aren't you in the Chu family making paper ingots? The Hu family wants to know how they are made."
Wang Cuier shook her head after hearing this: "That can't be done. The boss lady said it when we first hired workers. You can't say anything about the things in the workshop outside, especially how the paper ingots are made. If the boss lady finds out, I'm fine. The work will be gone! Auntie, you don’t know how many people are focusing on the work in the workshop!"
"Oh, you kid, are you stupid? You can't live with your money! They just want to chat with you, but they don't let you do anything. Besides, there are so many people in the workshop. If you don't tell me, who will? Do you know that it was you who told this?"
"That's right..."
"Five taels of silver! I said, if what you said is right, give us five taels of silver! How many months will it take you to make paper ingots to earn five taels of silver? Besides, you can just go back to your parents' house as a string After you get out of the house, you can go back to work in the workshop without delaying anything. Why are you kid still struggling with money?"
Wang Cuier was successfully persuaded by her mother-in-law. Yes, she would be given five taels of silver just for chatting. Where could she find such a good thing? As long as she didn't tell anyone, who would know that she was the one who told her!
Later, Wang Cuier met Hu Shun and Huang Liang under the guidance of her mother-in-law. Wang Cuier told them about paper yuan.
Bao also took a small piece of paper handed over by her mother-in-law and demonstrated how Bao did it.
I thought I could easily get five taels of silver into my arm, but who would have thought that Huang Liang only paid himself five hundred coins!
Wang Cuier and her mother-in-law immediately stopped working, and her mother-in-law even shouted to find someone to reason with. If she only had 500 yuan, how could she take such a big risk?
But Huang Liang said in an old voice: "Go, tell everyone that your daughter told me the Chu family's method of making paper ingots for five hundred coins. When I see it, will the Chu family still use it?" she!"
Wang Cuier was so anxious that she almost cried. She pulled her grandma's arm: "Grandma, look at the good thing you said! How could you deceive me like this!"
"I, that's not what he said at the beginning. He agreed on the five taels at the beginning!"
Huang Liang looked at the crying mother and daughter in front of him, and suddenly felt bored. If the delicate little beauty shed tears in front of him, maybe it would have a different flavor, but the mother and daughter in front of him had no sense of beauty at all. !
"Cry, cry, cry, why are you crying! I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you!"
Wang Cuier and her mother-in-law were both a little confused by Huang Liang. They didn't give them to them now and then gave them to them. What on earth were they doing?
"I can give you money, but not now. You only told me the method. I have to go back and try it to see if it is real and whether it works, right? I will give you five taels of silver at once. If you lie It’s not fun for me!”
There was no choice but to go back to her husband's house and wait for news about her mother-in-law.
Waiting and waiting, her mother-in-law finally arrived, but there was no money. Huang Liang said that the money could not be given to her because she only told half of it. Now they knew how to break it, but she did not tell them. How is the Chu family’s gold and silver paper made?
Huang Liang asked his mother-in-law to bring him a message: "If you want to get the rest of the money, get the Chu family's secret recipe for making gold and silver paper. If you succeed, not only will the remaining four and a half taels be given to you without any difference. You, I will give you five more taels of silver! But if you don’t go find it for me, then I will send someone to tell the Chu family that you sold me the origami ingot method for five hundred coins!"
Wang Cuier felt that she was really going to be tricked to death by her mother-in-law! If I had known earlier, I shouldn't have listened to her, and I wouldn't have put myself in such a dilemma now.
If you want to know the secrets of the Chu family's gold and silver paper, you can only get a chance to know it by going to the paper cutting group. After all, only occasionally when the shop is very busy will the people in the paper cutting group go to the pole in the Chu family's backyard to pick up the paper. .
But she had just passed the paper-cutting team, so she had no choice but to change posts with someone else!
