"Second brother, do you have any money that I can lend to you? You don't know that all the money at home has been spent all the way to Kyoto City."
Su Lao Er was feeling sad. Just in case his elder brother would borrow money from him, he took out a few pieces of silver and handed it to Su Lao Er.
Mr. Su's eyes lit up when he saw Mr. Su's action. It could be seen that he took out a tael of silver from his arms, which was far from the 100 taels he had imagined. His bright eyes immediately darkened. down.
But one tael of silver was not too small for him, so he took the one tael of broken silver from Mr. Su's hand.
"I'm not talking about you as the eldest brother. You are the head of the family now. Why do you only carry one tael of silver with you? Your family still has thousands of taels of silver, not to mention tens of thousands, right?"
"Brother, I have five taels of silver in my hand. I only have one tael on me now. You can use it first."
"No, your family has such a big business, and you only have so little money?"
Having said this, Su Laoer sighed.
"You don't know, it's not easy to earn money. Since our family came to Kyoto City, we haven't earned as much money as we spent. The restaurant has just been open for more than a month and it hasn't paid back. The other shop is Yu'er It's a business that specializes in selling facial balm for women. How much money can you make?
There is also a bacon seller, and bacon is a hard-earned money. Once the three shops were opened, our family's financial resources were completely emptied. We still haven't repaid our money. The money we had left was just Not much, Brother Yan took them all away a few days ago. He said he wanted to open some kind of food store. I don't know much about it anyway, so that's what he said. "
To say that Su Laoer's complaint is true, his family's shops are opened one after another. Although he doesn't care about the accounts, he also knows how much income the family has and how much they spend.
Su Laoer has completely forgotten the one million taels given by the Bai family and the 110,000 taels of silver rewarded by the emperor. He only thinks about the fact that the bacon shop has only been open for half a year. He also earned a lot of money, probably tens of thousands of taels of silver.
But opening a restaurant costs money, and my daughter’s rouge shop is even more expensive, so it can be said that their family has not made any money yet. As for the money earned by the chickens and ducks raised at home, Su Laoer is now It can be said to be ignored.
Although he didn't have much money on hand, a transaction of a few hundred taels was already considered a small business in Su Laoer's eyes.
"No, I said you can just let Brother Yan and Yu'er mess around like this. Why are you driving here and opening so many shops if you don't make money?"
"Brother, you know me. I only know how to farm and don't know anything else. Brother Yan and Yu'er wanted to do it, so I agreed."
At this moment, Boss Su really wanted to take a hammer and crack his second brother's head open to see what was going on in his mind. If he had so much money, it would be great to use it for fun. Leave it to your children to mess around.
After the old man and his wife finished talking, they returned to the house. As soon as they told what they had learned, the couple immediately became discouraged. It seemed that the second son's house was just a horse dung egg with a shiny surface and nothing inside. .
"Master, what can we do?"
"I don't believe that the second brother's family really has no money. How dare they build such a nice house without money?"
Ji felt that the boss was right, so she still had to go to the village to find out.
"By the way, what did you find out when you went out this morning?"
As soon as he mentioned this, Ji felt that something was wrong with this village.
"Master, I went out and walked around the village early in the morning. I didn't see a single woman, and I didn't even see an old man. I only saw some little kids. I don't know where the people in the village have gone."
"how come?"
"If you don't believe it, go to the village and have a look yourself."
Boss Su wanted to go out. When he was in his hometown before, he couldn't stay at home, but he met two groups of assassins just over a day after arriving. Although Boss Su wanted to go out, he still cherished his life.
"Forget it, I'm tired from traveling these days and don't want to go out. I'll take a nap first."
Ji didn't care. She left the house and planned to go outside to take a look. Now that it was getting dark, she didn't believe that the people in the village wouldn't come back.
After walking around the village, she still didn't see anyone. Just when Ji was about to go back, she saw a lot of people coming from one direction, most of them were women, and each woman had a scarf wrapped around her head. They were coming towards her, laughing and making noise together.
Ji looked in the direction they came from, and realized that the people were coming from the second child's house, and they seemed to be coming from one of those workshops.
Because the Su family opened several workshops in the village, many strangers came to the village before. Later, the Su family added young people to patrol the workshops, all of whom were from the village.
As time went by, the people in the village became more sophisticated. When they saw strangers in the village, they became more defensive. Now when they saw Ji, a person they had never seen before, they all became defensive. Twelve points of spirit.
Ji picked her among the crowd and immediately picked out a woman, who slowly came closer to her.
The woman's surname was Liu. She was in her thirties and loved to stir up trouble in the village. But that was in the past. Ever since the Su family opened a workshop in the village and she started working in the workshop, Mrs. Liu gave her this problem. It's not that she changed it, but in her opinion, her shortcomings are not as important as one tael of silver a month.
Now that she works in the Su family's workshop, she can get one tael of monthly silver every month, but if she can't control her mouth, then one tael of silver a month will have nothing to do with her. Maybe the villagers They can't tolerate her, so now they talk less in the workshop than before, for fear that they won't be able to control what they say.
Seeing Mrs. Ji leaning towards her now, Mrs. Liu was full of resistance and thought, she didn't have anything written on her face, so why did she choose her.
"What do you call the eldest sister? My husband's family name is Su. He is the second son of Su in your village. My man is his eldest brother. We just came from our hometown yesterday."
Ji quickly introduced herself as soon as she arrived.
When Ms. Liu heard that Ms. Ji in front of her was Su Laoer's sister-in-law, her eyes widened. She had never heard about it.
The women walking beside the two people who were eavesdropping with their ears perked up were also startled. When did the man come? Why didn't they hear about it?
"You are Mr. Su's sister-in-law, but we have never heard Mr. Su say that he has an eldest brother in his family."
"Why would the second brother tell you that he has an eldest brother if something happens to his family?"
"That's true."
Although the two of them were talking, they didn't stop. The most important thing was that Mrs. Liu was in a hurry to go home. She had been tired in the workshop all day, and now she had to cook when she went back. Who told her mother-in-law to die early? She needs to take care of everything.
Then there was the woman in front of her who claimed to be Mr. Su's sister-in-law. She didn't know if she was, but the village had rules. If you inquired about the Su family, you should report what you knew to the village chief. When the work was done in the evening, the two of them Kouzi still has to go to the village chief's house.
