He Yuanxiao was extremely worried and stared at her face: "What's going on? Jin'er, what's going on?"
Yan Baiwei was sitting under the eaves, reading with Brother Lei. When he saw this, he raised his long eyebrows and said with a smile: "Bring it over and let me take a look."
Tang Shijin really didn't know this kind of cursive writing, so he took it over and showed it to him.
Fortunately, Zheng Qingyuan is a businessman and does not have much education. He wrote very straightforwardly, and Yan Baiwei read it directly: "Tang Xiaoyou, yesterday a man named He Shuisheng from your village came to me and wanted to replace you in the bamboo cup business.
, I have rejected it. I hope you will pay attention."
Tang Shijin raised his eyebrows.
He Yuanxiao was furious: "He Shuisheng! Bastard! I'll go find him!" He turned around and left angrily.
"Come back!" Tang Shijin shouted, and went to the vegetable field again to slowly plant vegetables.
He Yuanxiao was angry for a long time, but he turned back obediently and stood by the low fence, sulking with a pouty face.
Tang Shijin said: "Yuanxiao, you have to understand that He Shuisheng is not at fault in this matter... Just think about it, there is something that someone is doing now, and it is not as good as you, but it can make money, are you jealous or not?
?Do you want to snatch it away? This is human nature, and He Shuisheng did nothing wrong."
He Yuanxiao said angrily: "But...he clearly knows what we are doing!"
"So what if you know it? What kind of friendship do you have with me? Brothers, fathers and sons all turn against each other for money, let alone just relatives!" Tang Shijin said: "So I told you from the beginning, don't tell anyone.
Come on, who are we doing business with? Once the news gets out, He Shuisheng is not the only one who will take action."
That's why she takes the risk to reveal her wealth, which also adds weight to her "irreplaceability".
She glanced at He Yuanxiao: "Do you understand??"
The good thing about He Yuanxiao is that he is obedient. He quickly calmed down: "I understand, I should find out who in the family said it."
Tang Shijin nodded: "And at this time, there is no need to deal with He Shuisheng. If he is annoyed, he will talk nonsense. Although we are not afraid, it is troublesome after all. Who would like a troublesome partner?"
"I understand this," He Yuanxiao said: "The private school teacher has said that it is better to offend a gentleman than a villain."
Tang Shijin smiled: "Yeah."
He Yuanxiao turned around and left.
Tang Shijin continued to plant vegetables, and Yan Baiwei said from afar: "Mr. Tang, I admire you."
Tang Shijin replied without raising his head: "Mr. Yan, please encourage us together."
"Huh?" Brother Lei discovered the New World: "Uncle Yan, your last name and ours are the same...one is sweet and the other is salty!"
Yan Baiwei laughed: "It's true."
He Yuanxiao didn't come over for lunch, so Tang Shijin made some muntjac meat using the same method as braised pork. It was bright red and juicy, and actually quite delicious. The three of them ate the meat and a large pot of white rice.
It wasn't until the end of the day (15 o'clock) that Father He and Mrs. Zhou came over, followed by Mr. He Shishi and He Yuanxiao.
Yan Baiwei stood up to avoid it. Tang Shijin invited people into the house. Mrs. Zhou held her hand and said, "Jin'er, I'm sorry, it was all because of our carelessness!"
It is said that Mr. Zhou let the matter slip.
In fact, it can't be said to be a leak. Mrs. Zhou and Mr. Zhou are originally from Zhulin Village, and their whole family is here.
Xiao Zhou's sister-in-law came over to chat with her and asked about this matter.
When little Zhou was not married, she had a very good relationship with her brother and sister-in-law, so she told her that it was Boss Zheng who opened a bookstore. There were bookstores all over Maozhou... Her original intention was to say that Boss Zheng was powerful and somewhat powerful.
Unable to suppress her desire to show off, she didn't expect that her sister-in-law would chat with someone after she returned home, and then asked He Shuisheng to listen.
He Shuisheng was a peddler who made some bamboo sticks and other things. He was half a craftsman, and he often traveled to the county town. Then he came up with this idea and quietly went to see Boss Zheng.
After Tang Shijin listened quietly, little Zhou's eyes were red from crying, and he said to her: "I'm sorry, I didn't control my mouth, Jin'er, don't blame me..."
Tang Shijin patted her arm: "Sister-in-law, you don't have to be like this. I don't blame you."
She said to Father He: "Uncle He, this matter is actually a wake-up call for us. We are just ordinary people. Let alone those successful bamboo workshops, it is just any person from any village who wants to challenge us.
All jobs are very easy, so... let’s ignore the inquiries from others, we must be careful to keep our mouth shut, otherwise it will be like giving away a lot of money to others, do you understand? "
Although she is young, she has a very calm and determined attitude.
Father He was also very scared... If He Shuisheng really snatched this business away, no matter how angry they were, they could only watch! Not to mention the money was gone, these bamboo cups that had been made were also
It's all in vain!
Father Zhou nodded repeatedly: "We can take care of it, don't worry! These things will never happen again!"
Tang Shijin smiled and nodded.
It's not that she didn't explain the deed on purpose, it's actually that the binding force of deeds on rich and powerful people in this era is very small, no more than in later generations, so there is no way to rely on it.
But to be honest, her satisfaction with the He family was originally six points, but after such an incident, it instantly reached ten points!
Apart from anything else, the posture of hugging the thigh is too correct!
Especially when she considers herself not to have golden thighs!
So she was really not angry, and comforted little Zhou for a long time in a pleasant manner before sending them away.
He Yuanxiao came in with two jars: "This is the soy sauce Mrs. Zheng asked for. I forgot about it this morning."
Tang Shijin said: "Why don't you keep a can for yourselves? I can't eat much."
"No need to keep it," He Yuanxiao said, "I will eat with you every day, and I will save a lot of things at home."
Tang Shijin didn't give in, so he took the jar and hung it in the kitchen while saying, "I'll go with you to the threshing floor later."
He Yuanxiao agreed.
Seeing that it was almost time, the two of them walked to the threshing floor.
Fortunately, it hasn't rained or been sunny recently, so everyone is working in the open air in the threshing floor.
There are already eight young people working there, and there are also four teenagers and half-year-olds doing small jobs, helping to polish the cups.
As soon as the Yuanxiao congratulations passed, the inventory and inspection began.
Tang Shijin walked back and forth and looked around.
Looking at this, I frowned a little. Why do these people feel like they are a bit of a slog?
Thinking about it again, it's true. It's the slack time for farmers right now, and everyone is idle. With a salary of twenty cents a day, who doesn't want to earn a few more days, and get a few more days of money without working, how nice.
But for her, although the date specified in the deed was one month, she had always planned to finish the work within fifteen days, just like Mrs. Luo. Besides, she couldn't let others fool her like this for nothing!
She was thinking quietly, and someone opened his mouth to tease her: "Er Ya'er, you're already supervising work before you get married?"
"Hahaha, yes! When will I call you He Third Wife?"
