Chapter 16 Li Daxing leads people to beg for money
Wang Er sat next to Niu Wu with a lingering fear on his face.
The two looked very much like brothers.
"What? Are you scared?" Jiang Ci raised an eyebrow and said!
"Who... who's scared? Aren't there just too many people? They can't eat me, so what do I have to fear?"
"That's right! If twice as many people come tomorrow, I can still handle it!"
Wang Er and Niu Wu cocked their necks and answered confidently!
Jiang Ci smiled and counted 20 copper coins for each person from the money he just earned: "Salary!"
Lan Yin and Wang Erniu Wu took the copper coins and felt their faces were burning. They had questioned this woman this morning, but they didn't expect that their faces would be swollen just a few hours later.
"Excluding your salary, we earned 1,630 Wen today. According to the performance salary I told you before, we will give you 1 Wen for every 100 Wen you earn, so these 16 Wen are your commission!"
Jiang Ci counted another 16 coins for each person.
At this time, both Wang Er and Niu Wu were shaking uncontrollably. Looking at the 36 coins in their hands, they gasped. The two looked at each other, with uncontrollable excitement on their faces.
"Does this make you feel excited? When your salary is paid in one month, why don't you pass out with excitement?"
Wang Er and Niu Wu were completely stunned.
Does this peasant woman want them to continue working?
The salary alone is 600 yuan a month, plus commission, then...
Neither of them dared to think about their next life...
Jiang Ci stopped teasing the two of them. Before leaving, he paid back the money he had just borrowed from Lan Yin. Then he left just like when he came, carrying a basket on his back, a big pot in his arms, and a child!
Lan Yin was originally a young master from a wealthy family. He was not as excited about receiving the money as Wang Er and Niu Wu. He was just a little surprised that a patched-up peasant woman was so generous and said that he would give them a commission without hesitation.
Lan Yin stared at the backs of one large and one small child leaving and fell into deep thought.
He seems to have found what he wants to do! But, is this woman worth following?
………………
After Jiang Ci and Shen Shuan left the stall, they went to the pastry shop and bought 200 yuan of cane sugar.
Shen Shuan was squirming along the way, with an embarrassed look on his face. No matter what Jiang Ci said, he didn't speak until Jiang Ci took him to stop in front of a drug store.
"What are you doing here?"
Shen Shuan clenched his fists and said that he was about to leave.
Jiang Ci pulled him into the medicine shop.
When the two came out again, Shen Shuan already had several doses of medicine in his hand, and his thin face was flushed, looking a bit cute like a child.
"You... don't think that I will forgive you just because you bought medicine for my parents once. Let me tell you, you are the disaster star. You are the cause of our family's misfortune. Why don't you say anything... Hey,
Just wait for me!"
Shen Shuan originally wanted to tell this woman not to have any wild ideas, or that the toad wanted to eat swan meat, etc.
As a result, when I looked up, I found that the woman had already walked far away!
He hurriedly ran over to follow him.
………………
Shen family’s old residence:
Qian Guixiang sat weakly in the yard while Shen Yunhe rubbed her shoulders and waist, and ran out several times to take a look.
"Mom, why don't your sister-in-law and brother come back yet? Did something happen on the road? If I had known, I would have gone with them!"
"Your sister-in-law brought two baskets of roasted chestnuts with sugar. There are chestnuts in the mountain. They won't sell much. Maybe they'll be back soon!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Shuan's cheerful voice was heard: "Mom! We are back!"
Shen Yunhe hurriedly ran out to greet him, and Qian Guixiang also stood up from the stone with her arms on her waist and a bright smile.
The family arrived in the yard. Shen Yunhe looked at the two empty baskets and said dumbfounded: "Sister-in-law, brother, have you sold out both baskets of chestnuts?"
"Of course, these two baskets are not enough to sell!" Jiang Ci smiled and looked at Shen Shuan,
Shen Shuan snorted, but still took off the small bundle from his body.
The little bit of silver was used to buy medicine, so all that was left in it were copper coins one cent at a time, more than 300 cents!
Shen Yunhe's eyes went straight when he looked at so many copper coins:,
Qian Guixiang was also shocked by so much money.
"We sold more than 1,600 articles today!"
"More than 1,600 articles?" Shen Yunhe's eyes widened in surprise,
She couldn't figure out how much more than 1,600 Wen was. She had never seen that much money! In fact, she had never seen even 1 Wen in the Shen family.
"Yes! It's just that this disaster star is a bit of a prodigal. He hired three people when selling things, and he gave out an extra 108 copper coins for nothing! Otherwise, he would have left over 400 copper coins!" Shen Shuan rolled his eyes at Jiang Ci,
"You sold roasted chestnuts with sweet-scented osmanthus for more than 1,600 yuan? Xiaoci, is what Xiaowu said true?" Qian Guixiang asked with trembling lips.
Villagers go to town and sell chestnuts for only 3 Wen per pound! How come the small porcelain basket with two backs sells for more than 1,600 Wen?
"Yes, mother! With the money we earned, we spent two hundred cents to buy sucrose for roasting chestnuts tomorrow. We also went to the drugstore to get some medicine for dad, and saw a doctor for 50 cents. Then we spent 1 tael of silver to buy dad for two days. The doctor for fractures can directly prescribe medicine, but for my mother’s condition, Doctor Li had to wait until she had her pulse to prescribe medicine, so he didn’t give me any medicine. The 352 yuan is just the money left over from fried chestnuts with sugar.”
Jiang Ci said, pushing the copper coins on the table to Qian Guixiang,
Qian Guixiang immediately pushed back, with tears shining in her eyes: "Xiao Ci, just keep the money you earned! As parents, it doesn't matter if we didn't raise you, how can we still ask for it? Where is your money?"
"Mom, just take this money. How can I have a daughter-in-law to take care of the money at home? Besides..."
Besides, it’s only a few hundred yuan, and she doesn’t like it!
Before Jiang Ci could finish speaking, an arrogant voice came to the yard: "Qian Guixiang, I tell you, you must pay me back today. If you don't pay back, I will sell your son!"
The family looked at the door and saw Li Daxing coming in with her plump waist twisting. Different from last time, this time she was followed by several big men.
"This Li Daxing is really getting more and more arrogant. He wanted to sell his child for 20 cents, and even called his mother's brother over to threaten him."
"She's not so arrogant for a day or two. Sister-in-law Guixiang is also pitiful. She actually went to borrow money from this shrew!"
…
Several farmers nearby pointed at each other.
But who is Li Daxing? He is the tyrant in this Peach Blossom Village, how can he care what others say?
"Where is this little bastard from the Shen family?"
"Follow my sister obediently, otherwise my fists won't be good at seeing you!"
The three big guys also showed their burly upper bodies,
"Don't you know how to talk well when you ask for money? If you bite a bastard, are you eating shit?"
Jiang Ci frowned, looking at the people in front of him with a sense of boredom. They wanted to pay the bills. Why do they always want to sell people and children?
"You ugly woman! How dare you say that I eat shit?"
One of the big guys couldn't help it anymore and punched Jiang Ci.
"Ugly girl, your mother-in-law didn't even dare to mess with me, but you rushed up without any thought and asked you to see my brother's...ah! Brother!"
