Zhang Er and his wife brought four pieces of silver, saying that they had received a reward of one tael of silver last night.
As for the job he got, Qingyu didn't settle with him, and just took a share of the money.
Zhang Er and his wife kowtowed gratefully, saying that they would spread the word, and then left happily.
After a few days of living with daily necessities, Hong Tao now felt that four dollars was a lot, and was very happy. He quickly sat on the bench and waited for more distinguished guests who were about to come.
She waited and waited, from Mao hour to Chen hour, and from Chen hour to Si hour. She waited until her hands and feet were frozen, and her high enthusiasm finally subsided. It had been a whole morning, but there was no one there.
"No one will come today." She was very disappointed.
Qingyu smiled and handed over a warm roasted sweet potato. Today was considered the first day of opening. In fact, she made a prediction when she got up. She knew that it would not be so easy to have so many guests, but it was not impossible to do anything.
After eating a few roasted sweet potatoes and feeling warm all over, Qingyu asked everyone to tidy up, and then said that they were going to the bald head's house - the person who took the lead in stealing but failed, but had his arms and legs broken by Wen Ya.
Hong Tao and Wen Ya were strange and reluctant. For Wen Ya, she wanted to beat up those evil people once she saw them. For Hong Tao, those evil people were not worthy of her eyes at all.
While packing things with Zhufeng and Shi'an, Qingyu advised: "It's impossible to spread your reputation with just one mouth. Besides, the number of people Zhang Er's family knows is limited, even if he can make up his words.
Flowers appeared, but the effect was minimal.
We don’t have time to slowly accumulate slowly, so we have to give strong medicine at the beginning. Gushu Hutong is a famous slum. If the entire Gushu Hutong is lucky, the good news will naturally spread like wildfire.
And do you know why no one came all morning? Who would have trouble with wealth? Is Zhang Er’s case unconvincing? Obviously not.
Zhang Er never participated in the theft, but nine out of ten people in Gushu Hutong did. These people had a guilty conscience and were taught a lesson by the senior sister, so naturally they did not dare to come to the house.
If they don't come, it will be difficult for us to make a living at the beginning, so we have to find a breakthrough from these people. Although these people have corrupt character, they have no absolute enemies. If they can be used by me, why not?
Furthermore, I have to live here for the next three months. If this knot is not resolved at this time, those people will hold grudges and something will happen in the future, which will cause even more trouble."
Only by giving him a stick and a sweet date can he truly surrender. Qingyu added secretly.
After the phone call, Wen Ya Hongtao had nothing to say, and the two of them stopped complaining. Wen Ya took two kilograms of rice bran, Zhu Feng took two packets of medicine, and the family went to the bald head's house.
At that time, Guangtou was groaning on the bed, and his daughter-in-law complained: "If you ask me, you shouldn't have come up with that bad idea in the first place, but now it's okay, you've offended people, you haven't seen Zhang Er's air, two months a month
Money, you may not be able to save even two cents a year, hey... Now I can’t even afford rice bran, how will I live in the future?”
My bald head hurt so much that I couldn't even speak, so I just stopped talking.
When his wife saw that he was silent, she slapped the bed board and said angrily: "Are you deaf and mute? I'm talking to you and you are silent."
The bald head was very angry: "My whole body hurts so much. What did you say? Now you know you regret it. Why didn't you stop me when I went to steal?"
"You..." The bald daughter-in-law was so angry that she gritted her teeth and cursed: "Look at your useless virtues. Zhang Er still has a skill. What do you know? Why did I blindly follow you in the first place?
Such a waste."
The bald man was so angry that his forehead hurt, "I've already been like this and you still talk nonsense here. Don't let this day pass."
"Just make peace. I can't live my life with you." The bald-headed daughter-in-law cried angrily, turned around and went to pack her things. The two children cried, one trying to persuade their mother and the other calling for their father.
When Qingyu walked into the door of this house, she felt that the noise could burst her eardrums, and she rubbed her temples helplessly.
Zhufeng stepped forward, knocked on the door of the bald head's house, and shouted: "There is someone in the house, so I came uninvited." He was too lazy to be polite and took the lead to enter the house. Qingyu and others also followed.
The bald head was lying on the bed, the two children were kneeling on the floor, the bald head wife was leaning against the closet crying, and the room was a mess.
But when he saw Qingyu's family, even though his bald head hurt terribly, he still sat up, vigilant and fearful: "What are you doing here?"
Seeing this, the bald daughter-in-law thought she was here to settle accounts again, so she immediately went to the kitchen, and soon came back in a hurry holding a kitchen knife, and then she shouted, holding the kitchen knife in one hand and akimbo with the other.
"Why are you here? Don't you think it's not enough for the men in my family? You beat people like this. It's fine that I didn't go to you to settle the score. But you still dare to come. Get out, otherwise I'm not very smart with my kitchen knife.
.”
Wen Ya's face was cold, and she pulled out the iron sword from behind. There was a sharp "crack" sound, and the iron sword swayed in the air like an echo, "I have a bad temper, you'd better not say anything."
"I'm not afraid of you. If you can, you can kill me. Come on." The bald daughter-in-law came forward vigorously. Although she was afraid in her heart, she was willing to risk her life and exposed her neck.
The two children on the ground cried even harder.
Qingyu had a headache from the noise, so she took out two Dragon Beard Candies from her sleeves, walked over and took one each. The two children immediately stopped crying.
Zhufeng pulled up a stool and sat down, put the two packets of medicine in his hand on the table, and said unhurriedly: "I came here specifically to visit my bald brother today. We all live in the same alley. I can't see you when you look up."
, if you are so tense every time you meet, it will take a lot of effort.
Our family has just arrived. I don’t care why you have the intention of stealing, but since you haven’t taken anything valuable, I won’t report it to the official. This matter, we
Just treat it as private and let’s move on.”
Then he pointed to the two packets of medicine on the table and said: "This medicine is for the bald brother to drink. He will be able to walk in a few days. There are also two kilograms of rice bran. You are welcome. Even if you accept it, you can't go hungry."
child.
In addition, my eldest son and second daughter know a little bit about the art of fortune telling, and I will let them show you that it is not difficult to make a small fortune and change your life or something."
When the bald daughter-in-law heard the report, she felt weak and couldn't help but put down the kitchen knife. After hearing this, and looking at the two packets of medicine and a bag of rice bran on the table, she felt a little overwhelmed.
The bald man was also stunned and confused. There was both reconciliation and warning between the lines. He was not sure, so he just ignored the past grudges? He was kind enough to give him medicine?
Seeing that the bald couple didn't speak, Zhufeng smiled and said, "If you don't like it..."
"No, no, no." The bald daughter-in-law reacted immediately and shouted several times anxiously, "We are happy, happy, I am...I am so touched that I don't know what to say."
Since she was given the opportunity to go down the steps, there was no reason not to go down. The bald daughter-in-law's attitude immediately changed. She bowed and thanked her, offered her a stool to sit on, poured some water for her to drink, nodded and bowed her head, and was so attentive.
A group of onlookers outside the bald man's courtyard saw all this scene.
Someone said happily: "I didn't expect this family to be so kind-hearted and repay evil with kindness. If it were me, I would definitely have a lifelong feud with the bald man."
"So you can only make so little difference." Another person said calmly.
Another person asked: "So, can we also ask them to tell fortunes and read fortunes or something like that?"
"It's okay to be bald, so should we be able to, right?"
"Then... why don't you give it a try? How about we all go together?" After all, Zhang Er's story has spread throughout this alley, and everyone is actually very envious.
A group of people exchanged a few glances with each other, nodded, and reached an agreement.
Not long after Qingyu's family returned home, other residents from Gushu Hutong came, no more, no less, exactly ten people.
For these people, Qingyu accepted everything, except for the commission, which was changed to 7 out of 10. After all, the thief came first, so it couldn't be too cheap.
