Perhaps because of the awe of the Poseidon, there are no other buildings within a fifty-meter radius of the Poseidon Temple.
The Zhu family is the first family fifty meters away.
There are only two siblings in Zhu Qing's family, he and Zhu Li. Therefore, to the Zhu family, Zhu Li is family first, and Zhu's company second.
I wish the family wants to be closer to their daughter so that she can have someone to take care of her.
Therefore, after Zhu Qing started his business, he started to build a new Zhu Mansion with two courtyards. In this way, not only can you keep an eye on the situation of Tanah Lot Temple at any time, but it is also extremely convenient to get in and out to catch the sea.
Zhu Qing invited Wen Xian and the others to sit at his house first, just in time to meet his father, the head of this large village on Sun Island.
When they knew that Zhu Li was back, Zhu's father and Zhu's mother knew that Zhu Qing must have also come back and was waiting in the house.
"Mom and Dad, this is the Miss Wen I told you about before." Zhu Qing strode into the house. When he saw his parents, he began to introduce them to each other, "Ms. Wen and the others are a group of eleven, plus a two-month-old The child. Miss Wen, these are my parents."
"Junior Wen Yun has met the village chief and his wife." Wen Xian brought Sheng Lian'er and Fang Jiaren to greet the village chief and his wife, "Sorry to bother you, but we may stay on Sun Island for a while. Please forgive me if I am offended."
Although it was strange for Sheng Lian'er and Fang Jiaren to give gifts to common people. But they still said nothing and just followed Wen Xian silently.
Even the Queen Mother can do it, why are they being pretentious?
The village chief and his wife seemed to be kind people, and they looked very similar to Zhu Qing's brother and sister. Wen Xian had a good first impression of them.
The village chief quickly put down what he was doing and returned the greeting: "It turns out to be Miss Wen. You're so polite. If she hadn't exchanged charcoal for us on Sun Island, we don't know how many people would have froze to death this winter."
After all, he is a person who has lived for most of his life, and there is still a hint of wisdom hidden in the village chief's kind eyes.
He glanced at Zhu's mother next to him, and Zhu's mother took Wen Xian's hand and said warmly: "Good boy, what do you say about nagging or not nagging, that Death Island is not a place for people. There are so many islands for you to choose from. , why did you choose Death Island to settle down?"
At this point, she glared at Zhu Qing and said: "You too, the girl's family, why didn't you persuade a few girls to move to Sun Island a few years ago. There are many people here, so it's good to have one Take care of.”
Wen Xian said with a smile in her eyes: "Madam, I misunderstood. It was us who insisted on waiting for my brother to pick us up on Death Island. Our sisters and brother and sister-in-law went out to visit relatives. We thought it would be faster to take the waterway, but unexpectedly we met on the way. Hurricane, forced to take refuge on the Island of Death.”
She paused and continued to lie, ah no, and continued to explain: "After the hurricane passed, our ship broke apart. In desperation, my brother had no choice but to put us in a cave on the island first, and he returned in a small boat to fetch reinforcements. .
No, I was worried that my brother would not be able to find us when he came back, so I stayed on Death Island to wait for him. "
This was the common saying they had made when they were on the Island of Death. They were just waiting for someone to pick them up. As for when people will come, no one can say.
The village chief said in surprise: "Oh? Did your brother say when he would come to pick you up?"
Wen Xian shook her head and said with a wry smile: "When my brother left, he would come to pick us up in less than a month, but when he left, he took a small boat and only took two servants with him."
Zhu's mother glared at the village chief, patted Wen Xian's hand and said warmly: "Don't be afraid, child. Live on the island for now, and let your Uncle Zhu tell the villagers later. Let them pay attention to death when they go to sea. Island, if there is a ship passing by, I will notify you."
Unfortunately, when we go to sea in winter, we still have to take a small boat. Whether you can reach your destination is a question, let alone return the same way.
In Zhu's mother's heart, Wen Xian's brother was probably in bad luck and would never be able to pick them up again. It's a pity that the newborn baby has no father at such a young age.
Not only Zhu's mother thought so, but Zhu's father, the village chief, also thought so.
Zhu Qing, who only vaguely guessed the truth, looked up at the sky speechlessly, pretending that he didn't know anything, and just let them perform.
This made Wen Xian very satisfied, as this was the right way to think, otherwise there would be no legitimate reason for them to stay for a long time.
The village chief looked behind them and asked, "What about the rest of you? Are you still on Death Island?"
"Dad, they are on the boat." Zhu Qing stood up and explained, "Miss Wen came here first to find a place to stay, so as not to cause too much trouble for so many people."
The village chief agreed: "That's right, Qing'er, then take Miss Wen and the others to see our old house as soon as possible."
"The old house is simple, so I'd like to ask a few girls to make do with it." He turned to look at Wen Xian and said, "There are only four rooms, so I'm afraid you will have to squeeze in."
"Uncle Zhu is serious. We are very grateful to have a place to stay." Wen Xian said quickly.
As for the rent, she could just talk to Zhu Qing directly later, there was no need to talk about it here.
Hearing Wen Xian call her uncle, the smile in the village chief's eyes deepened: "Go ahead and let Qing'er take you there."
Zhu's mother sighed and explained: "Auntie has to go to the Sea Temple to see Zhu Si, so I won't go with you."
Zhu Li was still ill, and they both felt uneasy. If there weren't so many people, they would have just wanted to go.
Speaking of this, Zhu Qing said quickly: "Don't worry, parents, Miss Wen is a doctor and has already examined Zhu Si. Zhu Si took the medicine yesterday and is already half healed. It is estimated that he will be fine in another two days. Still. Yes, Miss Wen sold me two thousand kilograms of charcoal at half price, dad, you can go to the Tanah Lot Temple to get a share first."
The village chief stood up suddenly and glared: "You bastard, why didn't you tell me such an important thing earlier?"
He quickly thanked Wen Xian and hurried to the Temple of the Sea with Zhu's mother.
Before Zhu's mother left, she couldn't help but pat Zhu Qing a few times to express her hatred for the iron.
Wen Xian couldn't help laughing, and said as she walked: "Do you want to distribute your charcoal to the villagers for free?"
Two thousand kilograms of charcoal is not a small sum. The market price of one kilogram of charcoal is twelve cents. Even at half price, two thousand kilograms of charcoal costs twelve thousand cents, which works out to twelve taels of silver.
The price of one pound of charcoal is already worth the price of two pounds of polished rice. Giving away so much charcoal is not a small expense.
Zhu Qing shook his head and said: "Of course it's not for free, but half the cost price is given to the villagers."
For example, this time he bought it at half price, and distributed it to each family based on half of the half price. Of course, if someone doesn't want it, he won't force it, he can take it all.
Sheng Lian'er looked at him as if he was taken advantage of and said, "Can your family make money as fast as it loses money?"
Everything was delivered out, so why didn't his house be emptied out?
