As soon as Du Chunxia heard Mrs. Feng ask about the rabbit skin, her aunt trembled uncontrollably, and walked to the kitchen without daring to say anything.
She wanted to leave, but Mrs. Feng refused to let her go. Seeing that Du Chunxia was about to leave without saying anything, she immediately yelled: "Why are you leaving? Didn't you hear what I said? What are you doing with your ears? Tell me, did you steal and sell the money?" What? Give me the money."
Li Yougui saw his mother crackling like a firecracker and beat up Du Chunxia. He felt helpless and hurriedly shouted: "Mom, Dagang's mother didn't get it. I sent the rabbit skin to the county. This morning when I was taking the duck to the county restaurant, I stopped by the fur store. I put the rabbit fur in the store for consignment, and I will go back in a few days to see if it has been sold."
"What? Did you sell it all?" She became anxious when she heard that she had sold it, because they hadn't given her the money for the sale yet. She didn't hear the word "consignment" at all, and she was only worried about money. , "Where's the money? Did you put the money there?"
"What money?" Li Yougui looked at his mother and asked.
"What kind of money do you have? That's where you put the money from selling rabbit skins?"
"You haven't sold it yet, where can I get the change for you?"
"Didn't you say you sold it?"
"I'm talking about consignment!" Then he explained, "I'm not thinking about how much money I can get from selling it. I put it in his shop, and after he helped me sell it, I gave him two cents for my hard work, and the rest was Everything else is ours. The shop can also buy rabbit skins directly, but it's much cheaper. He only gave me fifty cents for almost ten pieces. I heard that rabbit skins can be sold for ten cents a piece. "Isn't this a big loss?" Li Yougui said all the excuses he had thought of before, but he still complained that I was unreasonable.
After hearing this, Mrs. Feng thought better of it, "Have you asked more than one store? Don't just go to one store. You won't know if you were fooled."
Li Yougui was a little unhappy, "How old am I, and I still don't know this? If I don't know anything, how can I catch a rabbit and scrape the skin off?"
"Okay, okay, as long as you know." Seeing that he was a little unhappy, Mrs. Feng stopped talking nonsense, but asked other questions, "Then how much did you sell one piece for?"
"I haven't sold it yet and I don't know how much it will sell for in the end. I just told the boss that it can't be less than ten cents." Li Yougui continued to make nonsense.
Mrs. Feng counted the rabbit skins. There were ten rabbit skins in total, which meant that they could be sold for one hundred cents. After such a comparison, she found that it was indeed more cost-effective than selling them for fifty cents. "This method of yours can also be used, but don't forget it." I’ll go check it out at the county store in a few days.”
"I know, I'll go and see it when I'm done these days."
Mrs. Feng was thinking about one hundred pennies, and she was afraid that when Li Yougui went to get the money in a few days, he would hide some privately and not give it to her, so on the third day, he went to the fur shop in the county to inquire about Li Yougui's consignment.
I went to the first store and asked how much a rabbit fur cost. The boss was also a snob. When he saw the shabby-looking Mrs. Feng, he ridiculed her, "Hey, does this old woman still want to wear clothes made of rabbit fur? This rabbit The fur also has to be graded. Which grade do you want? The best rabbit skin we have is prairie rabbit. It has long hair and good thermal insulation effect. It costs one tael a piece. How many do you want?"
Boss Feng Pozi Cup was so frightened by his words that he immediately shut up, but when he thought about the rabbit skin that he hadn't asked yet, he was unwilling to give in. "I'm not here to sell..."
Before he finished speaking, the boss coaxed: "Come on, why are you coming to my store if you don't want to buy? I don't have the money to send a beggar away!"
Mrs. Feng got angry when the boss called her a beggar, but no matter how angry she was, she didn't dare to yell or curse loudly like she did at home. She just said unhappily: "Who is a beggar? Why are you like this?"
"How am I doing? You don't want to sell anything. If you don't want to leave, do you still want me to keep you here for dinner?"
"It's not like I don't have food to eat. Who cares about eating from you? I just want to ask you something, and I won't let you get in trouble. Why do you chase people away?
"What are you asking? Didn't I tell you? I told you everything. Better rabbit skins cost one tael of silver each. But you said you weren't here to buy anything. Tell me, you ran away from me if you didn't buy anything. Come here
What do you want to do by asking around? "
"Come on, come on, don't delay my business." The shopkeeper was very impatient and called the people over. There are really everyone these days. The beggars all know how to play tricks. They know how to wear shabby clothes and find a hole. Wan came to the door to ask for food but was turned away.
The mother-in-law was kicked out without asking anything. She was extremely unhappy, but no matter how unhappy she was, she didn't dare to do anything to anyone, even speak loudly.
He muttered and complained as he walked out the door with a pouty mouth, "You deserve to have no business coming to your door. You are the beggar. Your whole family is a stinky beggar. I curse you to not be able to sell anything every day. You can't afford to eat." Everyone in the house will go begging for food, and you will starve to death..."
"Aunt Feng, what are you talking about?"
Feng turned her head and looked in the direction where the sound came from, and saw that it belonged to Fan Dali's family, "You didn't say anything!"
Although Mrs. Chen couldn't hear every word clearly, she still heard one or two sentences and knew that she was scolding people again. She also guessed that she was scolding Du Chunxia, "Auntie, who are you trying to starve to death? Dagang Niang is again Did I offend you?"
After a pause, she continued, not giving Mrs. Feng a chance to speak at all, "I say Aunt Feng, your Dagang parents are very powerful now. They are all making money in the workshop. The people who make money are very tough. I'm afraid... I won’t listen to you like I did before! You have to calm down and endure it a little longer, otherwise what will they do if they don’t care about you in the future?”
When she said this, Ms. Feng immediately said: "She dares to disobey me. If she dares to disobey me, I will serve her with a big mouth."
"Auntie, please stop being impulsive. She is making money now, and she has the support of the Han family. Not to mention the Han family, but that girl Mo Ziwan is so cunning. I'm afraid she will say a lot of bad things about you behind your back. You See if you, Dagang, are so instigated by them that you won't listen to you now." Chen continued to instigate, and Feng, who had a strong sense of not being instigative, went back and made a fuss, vowing not to give up.
"Dagang was studying with her, and now he can write and read." Speaking of Li Dagang's ability to read, Feng still had a smile on her face.
"Studying is not that easy! If you can read a few words and write a few words, you know how to read. Who would waste money to go to school? They didn't think of it because they thought you would help their family."
"This person knows people but not their hearts. She seems to be honest, but she is full of bad intentions behind her back. If she can really teach people to read, why would she go to school? I think she is just fooling you."
Mrs. Feng didn't like Mo Ziwan in the first place. Ever since Li Dagang studied with her, she had often argued with her, saying that this was wrong and that she was wrong. She fawned over her sister every day, and she was annoyed when she heard the name. After being provoked by Mr. Chen, Huijing spat loudly, "You're right. They were not doing well in the house before. Who in the village didn't sympathize with them? If anything happened, everyone wouldn't help them. They were better. I don’t remember the village’s kindness to them at all, but now I’m instigating my Dagang to disobey me.”
"Dagang is a boy. It's normal to be naughty. He will become sensible when he grows up. It's wrong to say that he is ignorant. He used to be very affectionate to your grandma, but he is very sensible. On the contrary, now he is studying with Mo Ziwan I won’t listen to you anymore.”
"My family, Duoduo, also went to school. When they came back, they told us that our husband taught them not to talk back to their elders, but to listen to them."
"Aunt Feng, you have to be careful! Don't let your baby be taught not to recognize your breast!"
"How dare she! If she dares to teach me Dagang indiscriminately, I will go to the village chief's house and sue them." Feng was provoked and immediately became angry.
"The village chief is now wearing the same pants as the Han family and the Mo family! But don't worry, aunt. As long as you ask Dagang not to go to the Mo family to study, he will definitely not be disobedient. My family Duoduo was still saying two days ago that he and you Jia Dagang is very good at playing, it would be great if we could go to school together."
"I would like Dagang to go to school, but my family really can't afford to send him to school." Feng frowned and said, she can't use the little money she saved. This is her own pension money. I can't move in bed, but with money, my son and wife can run faster and take better care of themselves.
"I know how much my aunt feels about Dagang. If you could pick the stars in the sky, you would pick them for him."
"You still know me!"
"We are all people who have been here before, and we all want to be nice to our children. The business of our meat stall has been pretty good these days, and we have also saved some money. If my aunt plans to send Dagang to school, I can lend this money to my aunt. "
"You also know what our family is like. I don't have much money to send him to school. Even if you are willing to lend it to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to lend it to you in the future."
"Auntie's words have gone unnoticed. Now that Dagang's parents are making money, the luncheon meat sales are really good."
"No matter how good you sell it, it's not your own, so what's the use!"
"Auntie, if you go and sell it, it won't be yours."
"How am I going to sell it? I don't even know how to do it." Who doesn't want to make money? If he didn't, he wouldn't come to the county to ask about rabbit skins today. He was afraid that Du Chunxia would hide even a hundred yuan and sell it. I am even more envious of luncheon meat for making so much money.
"Auntie, I don't know. Just ask Dagang's parents. You are their mother. There is nothing they can't tell you."
""Besides, you can earn a lot of money by doing things for others. It's better to earn it yourself if you have this craft. It's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to help in the workshop, otherwise I will definitely make luncheon meat and sell it. " Mrs. Chen looked at Mr. Feng with envy, as if Mr. Feng knew how to make luncheon meat.
"Why do they talk nonsense about other people's ways of making money?" He said it nicely, but in his heart he firmly remembered what Chen said. When they got home in the evening, they must ask Yougui and Dagang Niang carefully. .
