The Big Farmer of Time Traveling

Chapter 116 Do Bad Things With Kindness

The chef of Jufulou cooked two small dishes with the pork sent by Li’s family. After eating, Cheng Wenliu and shopkeeper Tong wrapped up the remaining pork from Li’s family at a price of 45 yuan per catty.

The pork of the Li family was sold at a high price, one pig was sold for almost ten taels of silver, and the remaining three pigs were also slaughtered and sold to Jufulou one after another. The four pigs were sold for 41 taels. Unable to close their mouths, they caught four more piglets and raised them, waiting for the pigs to be slaughtered during the Chinese New Year.

There is a happy event in the Li family, Uncle Lin and Zhou Xiaozhu are also happy counting the money.

After they figured it out, they found that Zhou Xiaozhu made more money from doing business than Uncle Lin from teaching in the academy, so Zhou Xiaozhu told Uncle Lin to stop copying books to make money, and let him feel at ease teaching and preparing for the future imperial examinations.

Uncle Lin is not a rigid person either, he thinks that Fu Lang earns more than himself, so he just eats soft food.

Zhou Xiaozhu was really tired, and planned to hire someone to help him clean up the dishes, clean the tables and stools, but Zhou Xiaozhu must have hired a brother, and Uncle Lin didn't know other people's brothers, so he let Zhou Xiaozhu decide for himself.

From selling bean sprouts to now, Zhou Xiaozhu has been doing business outside for more than half a year, and he usually hears more news than at home before. It didn't take long for him to have a candidate.

The family he chose was two streets away from the place where Uncle Lin and the others lived, not too far away, and life in the family was very hard.

Three years ago, the man in their family fell ill and spent all the savings in the family and still could not be cured. After the man in the family passed away, relatives decided to buy a house.

Speaking of it, it was a loss of not having a young man in the family. The couple only gave birth to one child, a brother. The clan thought that the brother would marry off sooner or later. It was useless to leave the property to the two of them. clan.

That house was obviously built by the deceased man of their family who had been fighting outside all the year round, and had nothing to do with the clan. The husband made a fuss to let everyone know, saying that a family member bullied their orphans and widows. There is no light on everyone's face.

The final result was that the father and son completely severed ties with their husband's family, and even Fulang's Mo family did not associate with them.

Although the property was saved in this way, the two elder brothers without the support of their clansmen did not have any savings at home, and their lives in the county were also very difficult.

That brother's name is Yang Yusheng, the only child of their husband and wife. It is not too much to describe it as the apple of the eye, but the couple did not spoil their children too much. Yang Yusheng's art and embroidery work are not bad. If he hadn't kept his father's filial piety for three years, Yang Yusheng would have been engaged to someone else at this age.

Now that Yang Yusheng has passed away, some people think he is too old, and some people think that he has lost his father and severed ties with his family, so he has a bad reputation. In short, he is still not engaged.

Since a year ago, Yang Fulang couldn't stand the gossip and he was exhausted, and he collapsed. There were many patients in the family who had to take medicine, and life became more and more difficult. Everything that could be sold was sold. Yang Yusheng made clothes for people day and night. Since then, Yang Yusheng figured out that it was not enough for the family's expenses, and he didn't care if he was an unengaged brother, so he went outside to find work.

It's just that although he can endure hardships, many people are reluctant to hire him because he is a brother. They can only help others wash dishes after restaurants. The errands of helping others to wash dishes are unstable. People who wash dishes often don't make much money for a month.

When Zhou Xiaozhu came to find him, Yang Yusheng immediately agreed. He often goes to restaurants because he knows the cold noodles and Liangpi that are very popular recently, and he has also heard about Zhou Xiaozhu.

According to Zhou Xiaozhu's intention, he was paid [-] Wen a day, and he had to be responsible for the work of collecting dishes, cleaning tables and washing dishes. Because this job only needs to be done for two hours when the business is good at noon, the salary is a little low. But even this is more than what Yang Yusheng earned in restaurants before. Some restaurant bosses bully Yang Yusheng as a brother, and they only pay him forty or fifty renminbi for washing the dishes for a day.

The next day, Yang Yusheng came to Zhou Xiaozhu's booth early in the morning. Although it was agreed that he would only come to help at noon, he cherished this job very much, so he came early.

When he came, Lin Chengzu had just delivered the tofu nao, and some customers came to buy tofu nao, so Yang Yusheng took the initiative to take over Zhou Xiaozhu's work.

Lin Chengzu wanted to go to Jufulou to deliver something, and he only had time to take a look at Yang Yusheng who was behind Zhou Xiaozhu, and left in a hurry.

In fact, Lin Chengzu hadn't come to the county to deliver goods for a long time, but because he happened to have something to do in the county today, he helped to bring some over, and happened to see Yang Yusheng who came to work on the first day.

With Yang Yusheng's help, Zhou Xiaozhu felt a lot easier, especially during the noon sale of cold noodles and cold skin. He used to have a sore back and backache after work. Today, he only has to stand pouring seasonings and collecting money, and wait for the customers to leave after eating. , Yang Yusheng immediately cleaned the tables and stools, washed the bowls and put them together, so Zhou Xiaozhu didn't need to bother.

After selling everything, Yang Yusheng helped Zhou Xiaozhu put away the stall before going home.

With seventy Wen wages in his hand and some jelly noodles left over from the sale, Yang Yusheng had a long-lost smile on his face.

The next morning, Lin Chengzu proposed that he would go to the county to deliver goods. Not only did he deliver the jelly and tofu nao that morning, but he also delivered cold noodles and cold skin before noon.

The same goes for the third day.

Lin Xiazhi looked for Lin Chengzu for something, but he couldn't find anyone at home, nor at the tofu shop. He only found out after asking. Recently, Lin Chengzu had been going to the county town to deliver goods in the morning for several days.

Generally speaking, Lin Chengzu would not run to the county every day if he had nothing to do. After all, he also had a lot of things on his hands. Why did he run so diligently recently?

When Lin Chengzu came back from the donkey cart, his expression was a little silly, and his face was still a little red. Lin Xiazhi looked at his stupid look, and he could guess what was going on with Lin Chengzu with his toes.

"Brother, why do you keep running to the county town recently?" Lin Xiazhi pretended not to know, and asked him nonchalantly.

Lin Chengzu was embarrassed to tell his brother the truth, so he thought of a random reason and wanted to be perfunctory.

Lin Xiazhi didn't like him: "Brother, why are you so happy every day? I have to ask my uncle what's going on."

As far as Lin Xiazhi knew, Zhou Xiaozhu said some time ago that he was going to recruit a brother to help with the work, and Lin Chengzu's problem started after he went to the county town to deliver goods to his uncle.

"Hey, Brother Xia, my dear brother, please don't ask me." Lin Xiazhi has already talked about this point, and Lin Chengzu also knows that he must have seen it, but I don't know if my uncle has seen it. come out.

Zhou Xiaozhu noticed the signs the next day. After all, although Lin Chengzu would come to deliver goods to him once in a while, he would not come every day. After careful observation, he found that Lin Chengzu would look at Yang Yusheng twice before leaving. I know what my nephew is thinking.

Lin Chengzu's marriage has always been a thorn in Li Xiu's heart, Zhou Xiaozhu knew about it, so when he found that Lin Chengzu seemed to be interested in his little helper, he silently observed Yang Yusheng.

Yang Yusheng had a good life in the past, so he seemed very calm in his gestures. Even if there were many guests, he didn't panic. Disadvantages, in fact, it is quite compatible with Lin Chengzu.

But he didn't think it was very important to match or not, he had to look at the Lin family.

Before Zhou Xiaozhu went to talk to Li Xiu about this matter, the second day after Lin Xiazhi interrogated Lin Chengzu, he drove around the county town in his brother's donkey cart, pretending to be helping Zhou Xiaozhu.

After the group of customers who bought tofu nao in the morning left, only the three of them were left at the stall, so Lin Xiazhi took the initiative to chat with Yang Yusheng.

After some conversations, Yang Yusheng realized that the man who came to deliver goods to the boss every day was the brother of the brother who came to help today, and both of them were nephews of the boss.

To be honest, if Lin Xiazhi didn't take the initiative to say it, he still wouldn't be able to see that Lin Chengzu and Lin Xiazhi are brothers. After all, one of them is black and the other white, and there is a big difference in temperament. He is a brother and he is embarrassed to stare at the young man. He couldn't stop looking at his face, how could he find that the facial features of the two were similar.

Before Zhou Xiaozhu learned about Yang Yusheng's family situation, Lin Xiazhi felt that the population of the family was simple. After all, their family is now in business. bore him to death.

Yang Yusheng and Lin Xiazhi blushed as they talked. He suddenly realized that with the current situation of the Lin family, there was no need for Lin Chengzu to deliver the goods every day. Lin Xiazhi also came to the stall to chat with him inexplicably. The young master of the Lin family paid so much attention to him, didn't he?

After thinking of this, Yang Yusheng shook his head immediately, telling himself not to wishful thinking, Lin Chengzu, as the eldest son of the Lin family's conditions, would not be interested in a brother with his background, his face turned pale again.

Lin Xiazhi looked at Yang Yusheng's blushing and pale face, wondering if he had thought of something, if he had done something bad for his elder brother, and Brother Yu didn't like a guy like his elder brother?

Indeed, Yang Yusheng looked gentle and gentle. I heard that his family was not bad before. Maybe he liked those weak scholars. Although Lin Chengzu is literate now, he is tall and strong. How can his temperament be compared with scholars? above.

Thinking of this, Lin Xiazhi didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore, and went back to Zhou Xiaozhu's side with his head drooping, a little discouraged, and failed to match others for the first time.

Zhou Xiaozhu watched the two of them chatting happily, and suddenly the two of them stopped talking, and he couldn't ask more questions outside, so he could only hold back his curiosity and talk to Lin Xiazhi about some business matters.
