Chapter 14: You are unkind, I don't want to

 Li Xiaonan and Sister-in-law Lu discussed some details in detail. Sister-in-law Lu left the tea house and hurried back with the wind on her feet.

Li Jinzhu and Li Xiaonan came out and got on the cart. Li Jinzhu frowned and said in a low voice: "Anan, how much work do you have, can you..."

"Shh!" Li Xiaonan pointed to her lips and squinted at the driver in front.

Li Jinzhu immediately pursed his lips tightly and stopped making a sound.

Back at Academy Street, Ah Wu handed the reins of the horse to Wang Yuting and was about to rush towards Li Xiaonan. Wang Yuting grabbed Ah Wu back and said, "What are you in a hurry for? Go back and discuss it first, and we'll talk later!"

Ah Wu took back the reins and walked to the teahouse angrily.

Li Jinzhu and Li Xiaonan returned home and entered the courtyard. Li Jinzhu looked back subconsciously, closed the courtyard door, and frowned: "How much living can we have? One tael of silver a month. Grandma, you are using the silver too much."

!"

"Sister, you said that money should be spent on the blade, and Sister-in-law Lu is our blade.

"First, Sister-in-law Lu was the first to help us. Second, you see, the whole village has moved to other homes, but her family has not moved. And she said you can't be like that. This person has a very good character. Third, we

We need someone to stand on Orihu's side and help us speak, and Sister-in-law Lu is the most suitable person. Moreover, she can go online and teach people to weave. She can know how to weave those patterns at a glance, which will definitely be of great use in the future.
"For such a person, one tael a month is not too expensive, but too cheap. In the future, we will have to give her a salary increase or let her take a commission."

Li Jinzhu listened attentively for a while, then let out a low hum.

"Also, we always hire cars. It's hard to say whether those drivers are specially sent by other families, or whether they will be bribed by people like Miao Matchmaker." Li Xiaonan continued.

Sister-in-law Lu told me that there is really no one else besides Matchmaker Yu, the shopkeeper.

Li Jinzhu thought about the marriage between the Yu family and the Wu family, and then thought about the Miao matchmaker, and sighed.

"Sister, we have to have our own car. Just buy a car. Awu's two horses can be used. Just let Awu drive the car. She can drive the car." Li Xiaonan continued.

Li Jinzhu frowned, then nodded for a moment.

I really can’t help but buy the car.

"We have to call Third Sister over. Now that the Yu family has come in to grab the business, our business has officially started. We don't have enough capital, so now Third Sister can invest money in it."

Li Jinzhu stared at Li Xiaonan's eagerness to try, raised his eyebrows, and for a moment, sighed.

Grandma is always different from what others think!

"Are you here, Sister?" With a greeting, A Wu and Wang Yuting entered the courtyard one after another.

"You came just in time." Li Xiaonan stood up and greeted the two of them.

"What's the matter?" Wang Yuting smiled.

Li Xiaonan looked at Wang Yuting's sweet smile, and then at A Wu, who was looking at her with an unhappy expression, and yelled, "You guys have something to do, right? You tell me first."

"We have nothing to do, you tell me first!"

"Of course there is something!"

A Wu and Wang Yuting spoke at the same time.

"Let Ah Nan speak first!" Wang Yuting slapped Ah Wu hard in the face.

"You speak first!" Awu pulled a small chair and sat next to Li Jinzhu.

"I want Awu to look at buying a car. As long as it's 80% new, we have to have a car ourselves." Li Xiaonan said bluntly.

"Just buying a car? Then who will pull the car?" Ah Wu reacted quickly, with his back straight.

"Don't you have two horses there?" Li Xiaonan tilted her head at Ah Wu.

"You use my horse-drawn cart!" Ah Wu screamed strangely and jumped up, "How could you have imagined that! My horse is a war horse! Do you understand a war horse? A war horse, a hero's horse, to pull a cart? It's your fault.

You can imagine it!”

"You are driving the cart, your horse-drawn cart is just right!" Li Xiaonan faced Awu with her hands on her hips.

"What!"

"Don't scream!" Wang Yuting slapped Ah Wu on the chest, "Shut up! Ah Nan, that horse really can't pull a cart. The horse that pulls the cart is different from the horse that people ride on. That horse is very expensive, really.

If you can't pull a cart, what if the horse breaks down? If the horse loses its temper and pride, then the horse will be useless!"

"Huh?" Li Xiaonan looked at Li Jinzhu.

"The Avuna horse is her treasure. Since she can't bear to part with it, let's buy a donkey." Li Jinzhu felt a little distressed.

If you bring a cart and a donkey, you will get a pile of silver.

"It's better to buy a mule. Donkeys are boring. Mules are a bit expensive, but it's a good deal." Awu breathed a sigh of relief and quickly suggested.

"Mule." Li Xiaonan agreed.

"I'll get you some silver." Li Jinzhu stood up, took out two silver cakes, and handed them to Wang Yuting.

"Then let's go." Wang Yuting took the silver cake and pushed Awu out.

"We haven't talked about wages yet!" A Wu was pushed out of the door by Wang Yuting. Remembering her business, he was about to turn around when Wang Yuting pushed him out. "Now is not the time to ask for wages. What will happen if she asks you to pull a horse again?"

?We’ll talk about it next time, let’s buy mules first.”

Li Xiaonan stood at the threshold, listening to the two people's words, and snorted.

How dare you ask her for wages! Whenever Ah Wu is free, he dances with guns and sticks, jumping up and down. With clothes and shoes, Sister Mei can make three pairs of shoes a month, but they can't even afford her enough to wear!

………………………………

The men in black, who were as fierce as tigers in the middle of the night, had their shirts stripped off after dawn, and a thorn stick was tied behind each person's back. They knelt in rows in front of the foreign porters who had been stunned from midnight to daylight, begging for forgiveness and punishment.

There are three floors inside and three floors outside to watch the excitement, and the pier is as lively as the Chinese New Year.

Gu Yan is not here, and Yang Qifan has already set off to survey the terrain.

Gu Yan left behind the good-tempered Zhu Guanshi. Yang Qifan left behind Commander Shi, who was tall and strong, with a murderous look on his face. The dozen or so guards following behind Commander Shi also looked fierce, with their hands on

On the handle of the knife, a tiger looks at Dandan.

Commander Shi stood with his legs crossed next to the bare-chested men bearing thorns, shouting one after another: "Kneel! Kowtow! Fight! Get out!"

Rows of people in black pants were beaten until their backs bled, and they ran back with their heads hanging down.

Zhu Guanshi stood on the other side and tried his best to comfort him, "Slow down, slow down, oh, this blood! Go back and wash it off, and find a doctor to take a look. I have medicine there.

"Everyone should be more careful in the future. Look at those soldiers, they are not to be messed with!

"Slow down, slow down, don't cause trouble again, look at this fight.

"..."

In the shadow of a corner of the Customs and Excise Department, He Chengze clasped his hands behind his back and watched the excitement on the pier.

"Dad." He Ruiming came over in a hurry.

"Where is the prince?" He Chengze looked at his son and asked.

"I'm going back to work. Let me wait here for the fishing boat to come back and buy some shrimps and crabs to take back." He Ruiming looked a little disappointed.

"Have you told the prince about the dock?" He Chengze asked.

"I told you, the prince just listened without asking, he listened very carefully, but later, it was still the same." He Ruiming said with a wry smile.

"Well. You go and pick some shrimps and crabs and work well." He Chengze was very calm.

"Dad?" He Ruiming looked at his father in confusion.

"A man who is a great hero must be as cunning and suspicious as a fox listening to the ice. Go and work as an errand." He Chengze patted his son.
