Chapter 128 I also signed the contract
The next afternoon, Liang's three sons returned.
Several people were unhappy when they saw Shen Chuanzong.
Mother said that if it weren’t for Shen Chuanzong, everything in the Shen family would belong to them.
And he and his sister make money for them.
This time I heard that they came back because Shen Chuanzong didn't want to harvest the rice alone, so his father called them back.
When they thought about having to go to the fields with them, they all looked unhappy.
"You're the one complaining to Dad?"
The one who spoke was Shen Dazhuang's eldest son, who was only one year younger than Shen Chuqing.
Shen Chuanzong ignored them.
"I'm talking to you, can't you hear me?"
Seeing that Shen Chuanzong didn't say anything, several people became unhappy instantly and came up to push Shen Chuanzong.
But Shen Chuanzong spent all day at the dock and had a strong physique, which was no match for them.
Shen Chuanzong made a backhand move, and the opponent lost his balance and fell to the ground.
"How dare you hit my brother!"
The three men rushed up at once and started punching and kicking Shen Chuanzong.
Shen Chuanzong had always been at odds with those people, and was about to kick them away when he heard his sister's voice coming from the door.
"What are you doing?"
It turned out that Shen Chuqing thought that since Shen Chuanzong had returned, she should go home and take a look.
Knowing that her brother liked to eat pig's trotters, she went to Uncle Fugui and bought one.
Who knew that when I opened the door, I saw my stepmother's sons beating my brother.
"Brother, let's go! We're not here anymore! I'm going to ask the boss, and you'll work with her from now on!"
Shen Chuqing looked at Shen Chuanzong's messy clothes and her eyes turned red.
"Sister, I'm fine."
Shen Chuanzong looked at Shen Chuqing and comforted her.
"I was wondering who it was. It turned out to be our Miss Chu Qing who has returned. What a rare guest! I thought that after entering the county marquis's house, he would no longer look down on us in this life."
Liang came out with a handful of melon seeds in her hand.
Shen Dazhuang also walked out of the house, looked at his daughter with a refreshed look, opened his mouth, but said nothing and went into the house.
This meal was prepared by Shen Chuqing.
Cut a whole pig's trotter into two parts and put them all into the pot.
While eating, Shen Chuqing brought the pig's trotter directly to Shen Chuanzong and put half of it into Shen Chuanzong's bowl.
There was half left, and before anyone else could do anything about it, Shen Chuqing directly put it into Shen Dazhuang's bowl.
As for whether Shen Dazhuang wants to share it with them, Shen Chuqing doesn't care.
Liang gritted her teeth as she watched her sons clamoring for meat.
In the end, Shen Dazhuang divided his share among several people, and the meal finally became quiet.
After dinner, Shen Chuqing went to find Shen Chuanzong.
"Brother, the boss asked me to ask you if you are willing to work for her."
This was also what Shen Tang meant. Shen Dashan was now busy with the autumn harvest at home, and there was no one around Shen Tang to drive the carriage.
Shen Chuanzong happened to come back, and Shen Tang thought Shen Chuanzong was a good candidate, so he asked Shen Chuqing to ask him.
"Can I do that too?"
After all, Shen Chuanzong had worked at the town's dock for several years and knew the attitudes of the wealthy families in the town towards Shen Tang.
When the workshop was recruiting workers before, he missed the opportunity at the dock, but he didn't expect that his sister would give him good news today.
"This job is simple. I just help the boss take care of the two horses and drive the cart."
Shen Chuanzong's eyes lit up.
What young person wouldn’t be interested in horse-drawn carriages?
"I'll go and tell the boss myself."
The brother and sister went out, but at this time, the Liang family members in the house had no time to take care of them.
"Master, I'm not saying this, but you've seen the attitudes of Zhaodi and Chuanzong now. They're really resentful of us. I'm the stepmother, so nothing I do is right. I've also suffered a lot over the years.
But the children are all grown up, and Chuanzong is the eldest son. I can’t expect Chuanzong to take care of my children anymore.”
Liang looked aggrieved.
"Over the years, I have never lacked food and drink for them. What girl doesn't help with household chores? What brother doesn't take care of his younger brother?"
Liu was watching Shen Dazhuang's reaction as she spoke. Seeing Shen Dazhuang's face wavering, she was about to continue when she heard her son shouting at the door.
"Moved away, moved away."
Liang and Shen Dazhuang went out to take a look out of curiosity and found Shen Chuanzong and Shen Chuqing packing their things.
Shen Dazhuang couldn't help but ask;
"What are you guys going to do with all this packing?"
Just as Shen Chuqing was about to speak, Shen Chuanzong pulled her behind him:
"I wanted to tell you, Dad, but I saw you were busy, so I thought I'd tell you later.
I have also signed a contract with my employer, and I will move out in the future. My employer will arrange a place for me to live."
When Shen Dazhuang heard this, he was so angry that he fell backwards!
"You unfilial son! Why didn't you discuss such an important matter with your family?"
"Didn't you guys not discuss this when you were proposing marriage for your sister?"
Shen Chuanzong responded directly,
"My boss said I'll officially start working after the autumn harvest. During this time, you can learn if you want. Also, this is four taels of silver, twenty percent of the contract price. I won't come during the autumn harvest, after all, I've already received the silver.
There are so many sons in the family, and I am no longer a lacking one."
Having said that, Shen Chuanzong no longer cared about the expressions of the people behind him. He picked up his luggage and went out with Shen Chuqing.
Liang hurriedly put the few taels of silver into her arms.
"Take the money and let's go to the boss's house. Chuan Zong can't sign the indenture! The money must be returned. If this gets out, how can I save my face?"
My family is not so poor that they can't even make ends meet. My daughter signed the contract and my son signed it right after.
Who knows what the villagers would say about me.
"Master, I think it's great! This is four taels of silver! And in the future, I will give 20% of the monthly salary to the family."
Although it is a little less, it is still a small cash cow.
"No, take the silver and follow me to the boss!"
After saying that, he ignored Liang and walked out the door directly towards Shen Tang's house.
Shen Tang looked at Shen Chuanzong carrying the bag and didn't expect that he would arrive so soon.
"Then you can stay at the workshop for the time being. The carriage is also parked there."
After Shen Tang's family moved out, many rooms in the workshop became empty.
"My boss, my boss!"
Shen Dazhuang hurried over, followed by a reluctant Liang.
"Chuan Zong was ignorant and signed a long-term contract. We don't want this money. Please destroy the contract."
Shen Dazhuang spoke while panting.
"Dad, what are you talking about! This is what I want!"
"Even if you want to, I can't! I don't agree! I'm not dead yet!"
Shen Tang guessed it by looking at Dazhuang's expression.
"Uncle Dazhuang, I respect you as my elder, but this contract is already in effect in black and white. And Daqi law doesn't stipulate that if parents don't agree, they can't sign the contract."
"If you want to redeem it early, that's fine. Just pay five times the silver stated in the deed. It's only a hundred taels."
One hundred taels!
Shen Dazhuang widened his eyes. Even if they sold everything in their house, they still couldn't raise that much money.
A group of people gathered around, and their expressions varied after learning that Shen Chuanzong and Shen Tang had signed a long-term contract.
"If you ask me, it's better for Chuanzong to sign. It's better than being at the dock."
"Yes, it's amazing that they are willing to endure such hardships at such a young age. But the Liang family's children, I think they are all very tender and delicate."
"If there is a stepmother, there must be a stepfather."
"To be honest, I want my children to sign a long-term contract. This is like working for the county marquis, and it's better than throwing food in the fields."
......
The discussions of the people around were so loud that almost all of them reached Shen Dazhuang's ears.
