Chapter 224 Poor Uncle 2
"That's fine. It's not too expensive. You can settle the bill next time you go to collect it. Remember what I said. They can't sell it to the Jiang family anymore. Otherwise, threaten them that you have to go to another village to collect it."
Bai Qianshan didn't know how much money the Jiang family snack shop paid for the bamboo tube, so when he heard Jiang Lingu's words, he didn't doubt it.
He nodded and continued eating.
"You two, don't rent a house. I've thought about it and think you should live in the backyard of the shop. It will be convenient for you to work and you can watch over the shop to prevent it from being stolen. By the way, you haven't rented a new place yet, right?"
Bai Qianshan does whatever he wants.
Without waiting for Jiang Lingu to reply, he spoke again.
Jiang Lingu was stunned.
"I rented it. I spent over 200 coins. But it's okay. I'll go find the owner and ask him if he can refund me the money."
Seeing Bai Qianshan frowned.
He quickly changed the subject.
He was afraid that because he had wasted more than two hundred coins, Bai Qianshan would be angry and would not let him be the shopkeeper.
"Well, try to get him to return it. Two hundred coins is not a small amount. Also, send those bamboo tubes to the shop instead of piling them up in my house." Bai Qianshan said again.
Jiang Lingu, who had just moved the bamboo tube in, was completely dumbfounded.
So, he worked so hard for a long time, but all the bamboo tubes were moved in vain?
But he didn't dare to talk back, so he could only go back to the yard and move out the bamboo tubes that he had just brought in, one basket at a time.
Fortunately, the Bai family’s house is not far from the shop.
All these bamboo baskets can be moved in an hour at most.
The night is getting darker.
The cicadas hiding in the trees no longer make noisy sounds.
At this time, Jiang Fubao had already returned home, eaten and taken a shower.
She changed into her sleeping clothes.
I sat in the yard enjoying the cool air, smelling delicious all over.
Grandma Chunxia and Grandma Taohua, who came over to deliver bamboo tubes and bamboo sticks, were talking about gossip with their own grandmas.
Jiang Fubao pricked up her little ears and listened carefully.
"These people are really crazy, Sister Jinlan, you don't know, they have almost cut down all the bamboo forest at the foot of the mountain. They heard that Jiang Lingu came to collect bamboo tubes today, and even collected the extra ones. Those people are jealous and plan to give Jiang Lingu bamboo tubes when he returns to the village next time.
Humph, they don't even care about their crops. If Jiang Lingu doesn't accept their bamboo tubes, I want to see what they will do. They are really crazy. They stick to them like flies when they see some benefits. "
After Ma Chunxia finished speaking, she snorted coldly.
In the beginning, it was because her eldest daughter-in-law was disloyal that these people came to the Jiang family to make trouble.
As a result, her family's long-term income was gone.
As a result, I can only earn a few cents a day now.
She hated it.
The eldest daughter-in-law has returned from her parents' home. Her personality has changed a lot and she talks less now.
People don't like going out anymore.
However, she just couldn't vent the anger in her heart.
She wished that all those who came to the Jiang family to cause trouble would be killed one by one and not be able to sell their bamboo tubes.
"Who are they? After all these years, you still don't know them? Just wait and see. If Jiang Lingu doesn't buy them, I'm afraid no one else will be able to sell them either. They will definitely make a fuss and ask Jiang Lingu to buy them. Forget it, let's ignore them and just do our job well."
Wang Taohua saw that Ma Chunxia was a little excited.
She patted Ma Chunxia on the shoulder, signaling her not to worry too much.
"Well, I'm just angry. Normally, they love to do bad things and curse people behind their backs, but once there's something profitable to gain, the bad things they do seem to disappear into thin air, and they treat others as fools.
Fortunately, Sister Jinlan, you confiscated their bamboo tubes. People like this should never be allowed to take advantage of you in your life. Otherwise, it will be like stepping on dog shit, and you can’t get rid of it. Believe it or not, if you don’t collect the bamboo tubes one day, they will curse you behind your back.”
Ma Chunxia has seen through it.
She adjusted her mood.
Said with contempt.
"Do you think I'm the kind of person who's been taken advantage of?"
Zhang Jinlan curled the corners of her mouth and looked at them.
"No, Sister Jinlan, you are very stingy."
"Well, sister-in-law, no one can take advantage of you. You are a Pixiu, you only take in and never give out."
Ma Chunxia and Wang Taohua looked at each other and started making fun of her.
Jiang Fubao, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't hold back his laughter and had to cover his mouth.
The three chatted for another quarter of an hour.
Zhang Jinlan then sent them out.
In the main room, the dim oil lamp shone through the window into the yard.
Today's moon and stars are obscured by clouds.
So much so that it was pitch black outside.
The playful children were driven back to their rooms to sleep by their parents, and even Jiang Fubao was no exception.
She lay on the bed, her belly covered with a thin quilt, and fell asleep in a short while.
When I woke up the next day.
She found that her second aunt had packed a whole bag of bedding and clothes.
Today, grandpa and eldest brother didn't follow us.
With two fewer people, Niu Niu felt much more relaxed.
Haven't left the village yet.
She saw many people holding axes and walking towards the foot of the mountain.
Zhang Jinlan also saw it, she smiled but said nothing.
Even her shop couldn't use up so many bamboo tubes, let alone others.
I’m afraid these people’s dream of getting rich will be shattered.
The ox cart arrived at the backyard of the shop.
Jiang Dahe took out a pile of hay and put it in a wooden basin at the door, letting Niu Niu eat it by himself.
The others went to clean up, light the stove, and prepare food.
Today's business is still booming.
In the evening, Zhang Jinlan counted the money, put the bulging money bag on her body, and got on the ox cart to go home.
Tonight, Jiang Eryong and Sun Pingmei stayed in the shop.
The couple cooked some porridge and ate it for dinner.
First time living alone.
Sun Pingmei was extremely excited.
Before it got dark, she took a shower and took Jiang Eryong back to the house to rest.
Without any restraints, she screamed to her heart's content.
It was not until midnight that Jiang Eryong was able to sleep.
Poor Jiang Eryong.
Like a poor guy who was on the verge of death after his essence was sucked away by a female ghost.
His head barely touched the pillow.
In less than three seconds, the snoring sound filled the room.
In the morning, when Jiang Fubao arrived at the shop, he found that his second aunt's face was rosy and her complexion was particularly good.
She said to Sun Pingmei innocently: "Second Aunt, what delicious food did you eat yesterday? How come you look so much prettier?"
Her words made the Jiang family burst into laughter.
"Hahaha, what are you eating? Your second aunt is eating people." Zhu Yingqiu teased.
Sun Pingmei was so embarrassed that she didn't even dare to raise her head.
"Ahem, the child is still here, don't scare her." Zhang Jinlan pretended to cough twice.
Zhang Yanzi covered her daughter's ears.
Take her under the persimmon tree and let her play by herself.
Jiang Fubao understood immediately.
Oh my god, second uncle has suffered a lot.
No wonder Second Uncle looked pale today. She thought he didn’t sleep well.
The feelings were taken away by my second aunt-in-law.
Second aunt-in-law is so fierce.
Jiang Fubao's mouth twitched.
She stopped eavesdropping on the dirty jokes told by adults.
