"I've already said that I don't blame you for this, so why are you still taking responsibility for yourself? Even if there is no Wang Tiecheng, there will still be Li Tiecheng and Zhao Tiecheng. As long as there are people named Huang, this kind of thing will happen It can't be stopped. But you, not only Wang Tiecheng, but also the Wang family have no good people, so you should try to stay away from them in the future!"
Jiang Juan smiled and nodded at Shen Luzhu and said, "Don't worry, cousin, no matter what they say in the future, they will never let them enter our Jiang family yard again, and I don't plan to let them see Xiaobao, anyway. No one in that family really wants to see the child!"
"Our little treasure doesn't care if they come to see us either!"
Just as he was talking, Chu Ping and his mother-in-law Qian pushed the door open and entered the room: "What are we talking about? What is rare or not?"
"Nothing, I was chatting with cousin Juan'er. Why did my cousin come over when she had time?" Shen Luzhu stood up and greeted her enthusiastically, without mentioning Wang Tiecheng's matter again.
Qian just asked casually and didn't care. He hurriedly stepped forward and took Shen Luzhu's hand, and got down to business: "I came here because I have something to do, and I want your niece-in-law to help me!"
"It doesn't matter whether you want to help or not. I just give you instructions when my cousin has something to do. What's the matter with my cousin being so happy?"
The smile on Mrs. Qian's face became even bigger when she heard this: "Mr. Han from the village just now came to the house. She said she wanted to make peace with that brat A Ping and the daughter of the Tang family in Hexi Village on the other side! But what the matchmaker said You also know that you can’t believe it, but you can’t believe it at all, just because we are all from Hexi Village, do you know your nephew-in-law?”
When Shen Yi heard that it was such a good thing, not only Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi, but also Jiang Juan became happy, and the gloom just now disappeared from the shop.
"The little daughter of the Tang family? Does Auntie know which Tang family she is from?"
Qian was stunned and reached out to knock her head: "Look at my head, I didn't tell you the most important thing! She lives at the end of Hexi Village. She said her father always catches fish by the river to sell. Yes, the one I introduced to A Ping is their old lady’s daughter, and she says her name is Yuzhen!”
When Shen Luzhu heard this, she seemed to be reminded of the Tang family selling fish by the river in her natal village: "I seem to know the Tang family selling fish, but I really don't know much about his daughter, but Don’t worry, Auntie, I’ll go back to my parents’ house tomorrow, my mother-in-law is a midwife, and she knows a lot about the affairs of every family in the village.”
"Then we have a good relationship, so why bother my nephew-in-law, why don't you and your mother-in-law worry about this!"
"It's just a casual mention, so why bother? My aunt is just waiting for my news at home."
"It's done, it's done, it's done!"
Early the next morning, Shen Luzhu went back to the Shen family on the other side of the river to inquire about the Tang family and Tang Yuzhen with Shen's mother. After learning a lot of information from Shen's mother and Aunt Shen's son, she quickly turned back. Report to Qian.
"I heard about what Auntie said yesterday. The Tang family has a large population. Tang Yuzhen's parents alone gave birth to eight children. The Tang family's grandparents have not yet separated their families. In addition, There are more than thirty uncles in her generation!"
When Qian heard this, he was also very surprised: "Oh, then the Tang family is really prosperous!"
Shen Luzhu nodded and continued: "Tang Yuzhen is working in her own family. She has two younger brothers. The elder brother and sister are married. The Tang family has a large population and a lot of labor. In addition to the men in the family who are usually farming, I can also fish and sell fish, and my life is pretty good. If there are many people in my family, there will be some friction, and I have had a few quarrels with my neighbors, but it is not a big conflict."
"That's understandable. I still bite my tongue. It's inevitable with a large family. How about Tang Yuzhen? Is she okay?"
"It is said that Tang Yuzhen was delayed because she was helping the family to take care of her two younger brothers. However, she is about the same age as her cousin. Both my mother-in-law and my second aunt said that she is pretty handsome, a hard-working person, and good at meeting people. She is very polite, but her temperament is a bit timid and weak, and she always listens to her father and mother in everything."
Everything sounds good, but when it comes to the woman's weak character, Qian is obviously still a little worried: "Then it's no wonder that she delayed her marriage to take care of her younger brother. It's not a bad thing to be timid and obedient, like Ah Ping is so courageous! But I'm just afraid that she has a naughty temper and can't control A Ping. It's not like you don't know about A Ping's lazy spirit, so you have to beat her and scold her!"
Shen Luzhu thought for a moment about how Qian usually disciplined Chu Ping. If this was the case, then Tang Yuzhen might not be able to restrain Chu Ping. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard Qian's style change again.
"But this Tang Yuzhen sounds pretty good. She is an honest girl who knows how to be polite even if she doesn't say anything. What if I miss her and there will never be such a good girl again?"
Seeing that Qian was really confused, Shen Luzhu helped him come up with an idea: "Then why don't you let your cousin take a look at it? It's not like anything else, and besides, my cousin has changed a lot now than before. , but she doesn’t necessarily need someone to take care of her, and even if she does, she still has you, my cousin!”
Mrs. Qian nodded thoughtfully: "That's true. Then let's do as my nephew-in-law said and let them see each other and think about it first."
"Then I'll be waiting for the good news from my cousin!"
"Okay, let me lend you some good words!"
Two months later, Chu Ping was once again arranged by his mother to go out to see a girl. However, this time was different from the previous times. The thing that Qian had been thinking about finally came to a good end. Chu Ping and Tang Yuzhen met each other. In the end, both of them were quite satisfied with each other, and Qian finally began to take care of many future matters for his son.
The Chu family was immersed in a pleasant atmosphere, and the days moved forward day by day. The Hu family was also hurriedly processing new paper money.
On the day when Wang Tiecheng failed to steal the mold from the Jiang family, he ran to the Hu family to find Huang Liang and Hu Shun, and told them all what he saw while his memory was still fresh.
Don't tell me, when you don't know anything about molds, you can't even think of it without breaking your head. But after listening to Wang Tiecheng's description, Huang Liang and Hu Shun had a sense of enlightenment. It turned out to be so simple. A thing!
Huang Liang followed the idea provided by Wang Tiecheng and specially exchanged it for several banknotes of different denominations. He found someone to copy the banknotes according to the appearance of the banknotes, and then carved them out one by one, and finally made banknote paper money. Mold, Hu Shun picked up a mold like Huang Liang, held it in his hand and looked at it carefully.
"Cousin, why do we have to make so many of them? One, two, three... there must be thirty or forty of them, and the printed ones are not as long as the banknotes sold by the Chu family. identical!"
Huang Liang rolled his eyes at Hu Shun: "You know what the hell, why do we have to make them exactly the same as those of the Chu family? Don't we have more statues than those of the Chu family? And they also distinguish the denominations, from one tael to one hundred thousand taels. Yes, we made three or four fucking molds for each one. The paper money printed with it looks like real banknotes. Then we will price it according to different denominations. This is no better than the four different ones from the Chu family. ! Who dared to dig a hole for us when I saw it? If the Chu family dared to say anything, we can definitely say that ours is the authentic one. It was the Chu family who learned from us, and we learned it in a nondescript manner!"
Hu Shun thought about the appearance of the banknote Huang Liang showed him that day. The one he made at home really looked like a real banknote. Except for the seal, it was exactly the same: "But in the nearby villages, who doesn't?" I know it was the Chu family who sold the banknotes and paper money first. Our shop didn’t even exist at that time, so who would believe us!”
"You say you're stupid and you come to fight with me every time! How do you think you can reopen this shabby shop in this village! Besides, how many people in this shabby village can buy paper money!"
Hu Shun was really confused: "Well, if we don't sell it in the village, where can we sell it?"
"Of course we're going to the fucking town to sell it! This time we're going to go door-to-door without being a grandma, and this time we're going to sell it directly at my grocery store. If any paper money shop wants it, then damn it Come to your door and beg me to sell it to them!"
Hu Shun thought about the popularity of the Chu family's sales of banknotes and paper money. If they sold it in the town, there would be many more people in the town than in the surrounding villages, so they would make a lot of money!
As soon as Huang Liang saw Hu Shun holding the mold and giggling there, he knew what a beauty he was there. He went up and kicked Hu Shun's butt: "You're just laughing, why don't you go to the village quickly and find it for me?" Let’s go to the female workers who make paper money. This time, we’ll find some who are strict-mouthed and don’t dare to cause trouble easily. Save yourself the trouble of going out and start spreading rumors about me again, saying that we’re cheating people and not paying them enough wages!
The Hu family's molds and raw materials are all ready. They are just waiting for the female workers to come up and start mass production. But last time the Hu family promised to double the wages, but in the end they did all kinds of cheating. The news has almost spread throughout the village. Now that they heard that the Hu family is recruiting workers again, most of them just waved their hands and left. Only a few seemed to want to wait and see.
Huang Liang and Hu Shun, who had no way to make money in a hurry, could only promise more wages, and were finally forced to sign a letter. Only then could they barely recruit a sufficient number of female workers.
Of course, Shen Luzhu and Chu Yi had heard about such a big battle, but since they had already made mental preparations, there was nothing surprising. It was just that after Jiang Juan heard about it, she came over again!
"Cousin, Wang Tiecheng clearly failed to steal the mold last time. How could the Hu family make it so quickly?"
"Don't panic, it's okay. Didn't I say it last time? It's easy to make banknotes and paper money. It should be that the Hu family learned a few words from Wang Tiecheng and figured out the way inside. In fact, even without Wang Tiecheng, they Sooner or later you will figure it out!"
"Then what should we do now?"
"It doesn't matter. I think the Hu family doesn't seem to have any plans to open a shop in the village and continue selling paper money. Maybe they will sell it to the town or other places that haven't heard about their Hu family's shop. Since In this way, it will naturally have no impact on our family."
"That's the best!"
The banknotes and paper money made this time were much simpler than the paper ingots made before. Soon after arriving at the job, all the female workers were able to operate it skillfully. The output of the Hu family's workshop suddenly made a qualitative leap, leaving Hu Shun on. Wufangcun continued to stare at the workshop, while Huang Liang returned to the town with a large amount of banknotes and paper money, planning to make a big deal.
And this time it was indeed smooth. Except for the first few days when the people in the town had to adapt to accept it, the Hu family's banknotes actually became popular in the town little by little and became a hot commodity that was in short supply!
