There were sometimes a lot of sawdust in that place. The old man's health was not as good as before. Every time he went in and came out, he would cough for a long time.
Seeing the third old man coughing, the others were frightened, fearing that he would accidentally cough himself up.
The third son of the Zeng family was not convinced after hearing this.
"My body is still very strong! Besides, the dowry for my great-granddaughter, if I don't see it with my own eyes, can I feel at ease?"
Although the Liu family's little lady's craftsmanship is very good, the third son of the Zeng family would usually brag about the craftsmanship of the neighbor next door to outsiders, but this time it is about his most beloved great-granddaughter, the third son of the Zeng family. I still want to see it with my own eyes for peace of mind.
Of course, he didn't stay there all the time, but would check on the progress from time to time to make sure he could catch up.
"You are very fond of that little girl! Among the great-grandchildren, the fourth girl is your favorite."
Mr. Zeng Laosan smiled and walked out with a smile on his crutches.
…
The small yard that had just been cleaned was clean and tidy. Liu Junqiao asked the hired help to move the few logs to the corner and pile them up.
She held a large wooden box filled with tools and sat down on a small bench in the yard.
Mr. Zeng Laosan is not in this field, but he has lived a long time and is quite knowledgeable in many things.
He took a chair and sat next to Liu Junqiao, and Mr. Zeng chatted with Liu Junqiao from time to time.
An old man and a young man were having a pleasant chat in the yard.
Seeing Liu Junqiao doing the work quickly, Mrs. Zeng couldn't help but sigh that girls are tired from doing this.
Various thick calluses were also worn out on the hands, but.
As a human being, it is more important to have a way to support one's craftsmanship than anything else. As for this person, only if you can stand up for yourself, others will not easily bully you.
Place your hopes on others, and wait until you are abandoned by others. Where will you cry when the time comes?
Liu Junqiao also likes to chat with this old man occasionally. Although this old man from the Zeng family is older, his thinking is not like those young guys at all.
Those young people looked like humans, but there was no ivory coming out of the dog's mouth.
"Third Master Zeng, why are you wandering here again!"
The courtyard is surrounded by a low wall, and the gate to the courtyard is wide open, so passers-by can clearly see the scene inside.
The old lady from another house next door went out with a washbasin, and when she glanced over, she saw the scene in the yard.
There was a vague look of disgust on his face, but he didn't dare to show it too obviously.
"I'm telling you, from the old Zeng family, it's not unlucky for you to come to this yard so often!"
The eldest aunt curled her lips and moved her steps to the side, as if she was really afraid of being contaminated by something bad luck.
Liu Junqiao's expression did not change at all, and she continued to do her work quietly, as if she did not hear what was said next to her.
Mr. Zeng Laosan said "Ah" in surprise, as if he didn't understand what the other party meant.
The old aunt sneered and said harshly, "Don't you think of any girl from a good family who hasn't gotten married at such an old age! She still shows up every day and deals with those big men!"
"Every day I don't think about what these girls should do and live like a rough old man. I'm afraid I'll never get married again in this life."
The eldest aunt always said unkind and unpleasant things.
"If you find someone like this to give your great-granddaughter a dowry, you won't be afraid that the bad luck will be transmitted to your family! And you won't be afraid that your great-granddaughter will be harmed!"
The old aunt finally said, "If you really want to give your great-granddaughter a good dowry, you might as well go to Old Chen's family at the end of the county. They have both children and a virtuous wife. No matter how you think about it, the meaning is better than this one who can't get married." Well done."
These words are not only unpleasant to listen to, but also somewhat derogatory.
Whenever guests who come to the door hear such words, as long as they believe it a little in their hearts, they can't beat the drum in their hearts.
Even if you don't believe in all kinds of superstitions on weekdays, you will like to hear good things about such a happy event, and don't want to leave a knot in your heart because of this kind of thing.
I'm afraid that after hearing these words, he would not choose to buy furniture here at Liu Junqiao's place, and would have turned away long ago.
This time she is trying to cut off people's money, so why should she fight to the death?
Before Liu Junqiao said anything, Mr. Zeng Laosan said slowly, "To put it into perspective, although the family at the end of the city has both sons and daughters, they are unfilial and useless. I'm afraid of getting into the bad luck of his family." , if my great-granddaughter also gives birth to some useless and unworthy descendants, we will not be able to make all the ancestors of our old Zeng family alive."
The eldest aunt's face turned pale. The family at the end of the city was somewhat related to her family. Now that the other party was scolding the juniors of that family, it would make no difference if they scolded her too.
Liu Junqiao said calmly, "Auntie, if your relative is jealous of my business, then let him go back and learn hard, practice his craftsmanship, live for decades, and do carpentry for decades, and the things he makes will not be as good as I, he doesn’t feel ashamed, I also feel that we have lost the face of our profession.”
Liu Junqiao's words are indeed annoying, but her tone is calm, and her voice is particularly calm, which makes people feel good after listening to it.
It's not like that old aunt who opens and closes her mouth with all sorts of sarcastic and unpleasant tones.
As long as there are other outsiders here, the tone of their conversation will be more biased toward Liu Junqiao.
Liu Junqiao continued, "In the final analysis, this is the business in the county. The reason why everyone chooses me is because I am good at carpentry work. If he has this ability, others will naturally choose to find him to work. If you let him have You are just jealous and slandering me, why not spend more time thinking about how to do a good business."
"How can you talk..."
"If you think what I said doesn't make sense, then why don't I call a few more people for you, and we can all comment together on whether what I said makes sense or not."
The old aunt looked ugly, but she didn't say anything anymore and went out with a livid face.
Liu Jun's witty words are threatening both inside and outside.
If someone comes to comment on this, they will become a complete joke.
They don't really comment, they just treat these things as conversation topics, and they like to show off these things after dinner.
Besides, the old aunt may not know why there are so few customers in a relative's shop. Her relative sells fewer tricks, and the things she sells are not as beautiful and delicate as Liu Junqiao's. We are not fools. The price is about the same, so why not choose a better one? of?
Do you have to choose a bad one?
