Chapter 35 I Disagree
Chapter 35I disagree

The more Gu Lao thought about it, the more he felt that the 60 taels must not be paid, "Yu Datie, it was wrong for the third child to take the job without your consent, but he also took it because he was in a hurry and you weren't around." Live. Now that the man has run away, there is nothing we can do. You are his master, so you can’t be tolerant? You still have to ask the third child to pay for the whole knife? It’s hard for you to be a man, right? Why don’t we pay for it? How about your pig iron money?"

Papa Gu stated the solution straightforwardly, and didn't want to argue with Yu Datie at all.

Yu Datie saw that the master was coming, so he didn't want to argue with the He family anymore, but he also heard that the Gu family didn't want to pay more.

"Brother Gu! Your third child has been in my shop for more than half a year, and I have never treated him badly! I have entrusted him with all my housekeeping skills, otherwise he would not be able to use a big knife. This big knife is not so much 60 taels of silver. , In fact, this piece of pig iron is very precious! If you want to lose 60 taels, let’s do this! Since Cheng Lian is my apprentice, I will accept 50 taels of silver from him! I will lose a little if I lose.”

Yu Datie waved his hand, pretending to give in helplessly.In fact, Yu Datie was also very jealous in his heart. He had been practicing iron for so many years, but he still couldn't make a big sword. Gu Chenglian had just learned half a year, and he was able to fight a big sword by himself.In this shop, he is determined not to be allowed to stay any longer.

When Gu Chengyu heard it, he thought it was funny, who would believe it?This Yu Datie is really greedy, he must be trying to use this matter to extort money from the Gu family!

Gu Chenglian also called Yu Da Iron so hard, who is he lying to?The things in the blacksmith's shop are not worth the 50 taels of silver, and it is not worth adding this piece of pig iron.

This Yu Datie usually refuses to teach him well, but he secretly learned from the sidelines.Yu Blacksmith's craftsmanship is not very good. He can't make large and complicated iron tools. He has been doing it for more than 20 years, and the shop is still rented, which shows that he doesn't have much money left.This time, he must have wanted to catch his fault and bite him hard.

Gu Cheng was trembling with anger, how could the Gu family afford 50 taels of silver?At this moment, Gu Chengyu walked up to Gu Chenglian's side and tugged at him.Whispered a few words beside him, Gu Chenglian's eyes lit up after hearing this, and then walked into the room.After a while, he came out, still holding a small piece of iron lump in his hand.

"Master, we have been masters and apprentices for more than half a year. The master accepted me as an apprentice at the beginning, and I was grateful in my heart. After all, it is a craft of cooking. What happened today is my fault. I called that person without taking the set money. More I shouldn't have made decisions without the master's presence, used the master's treasure, and even took over the job privately. But the master must know how much the pig iron is worth. After I finished the knife, there was still a small piece left, I brought it back, thinking it was too little, and it was useless to keep it. Master, don’t talk about the 50 taels of silver, how much should be paid, and re-arrange the amount, so we can discuss it.”

Gu Chenglian said it according to Gu Chengyu's words, holding his breath in his heart, Yu Datie didn't care about the relationship between master and apprentice at all, at least they have been together for so long.

Yu Datie originally wanted to hold on to the 50 taels, but who would have thought that Gu Chenglian still had a small piece left.If you show this small piece to a blacksmith shop, you will be sure to recognize it, that is, it is better than ordinary iron!The 60 taels that the man said was indeed a high price, although he did not pay in the end.

Seeing it, He saw that things had turned around, and he became even more excited, "I said Yu Datie! If this iron is taken to another house for identification, it may not even be worth a tael of silver! You have to think about it. "

Yu Datie originally heard Gu Chenglian talk about apprentices, and he was still a little guilty. When he recruited apprentices, he actually wanted to recruit someone who would not spend money and could help with the work. He didn't really want to find an apprentice. The craft did not teach him.

"Cheng Lian! Since you say that, the master feels uncomfortable, so you can give 15 taels! The rest of the silver is considered to be our master-student relationship. We can't be impulsive when we go to other places in the future." ah!"

Gu Chengyu felt that Yu Datie's face was really thick, he didn't change his face when someone exposed him, and even wanted to resign his third brother, but his third brother couldn't do it anymore.

Gu Chenglian also felt uncomfortable, it seemed that he couldn't go to the blacksmith shop.

"Yu strikes iron, 15 taels will definitely not work, let alone whether the iron is worth the money or not. You see, our Gu family is not rich, can we be flexible? 15 taels is really not enough!" Gu Lao continued to bargain, hoping Can be less.

"Brother Gu, you also know that my blacksmith shop does not have business every day. I have been doing it for so many years, but I haven't made much money. 15 taels is really a loss. What's more, Chenglian is still learning from me. It’s been more than half a year, right? I usually try my best to teach him, so there is no credit but hard work, right? You also understand and understand my difficulties!”

snort!From the perspective of the friendship between master and apprentice, I taught you how to forge iron, but you want me to accompany Lao Ben, isn't that justified?
Papa Gu fell silent, took out his cigarette stick, and started smoking.If this matter is revealed, it will definitely damage the reputation of the third child. After all, there is a teacher-student relationship, so it is not good to press each other tightly, but 15 taels is too much. If you take it out, there will be nothing left in the family. The money is gone, but the fourth child's scar removal cream has not yet arrived.

Seeing that the matter was frozen, Gu Chengyu discussed it for a long time, but Yu Datie refused to back down, so he had to go to Gu's side to offer advice, whispered something, and told Gu to do as he said.There is no way, no one listens to people's novels! It is most suitable for the old man to come out.

"I said Yu Datie. You know how much this iron is worth. We will pay you ten taels at most. If you don't agree, we will report to the official. Anyway, this knife was taken by someone else, and it has nothing to do with the third child. If you report to the official Now, how much money the iron can pay, let the blacksmiths in the county know at a glance, what's the matter? Do you agree or not?"

Papa Gu also went all out, gritted his teeth and replied.In fact, he didn't dare to ask him to meet the official, just like what Xiaobao said, to scare Yu Datie, and report to the official, the third child may not be punished, after all, he embezzled the piece of iron privately.

Yu Datie saw that he really couldn't take any more advantage, so he had no choice but to give up. He was also afraid of seeing an official! "Okay, since Brother Gu said so, it must be to save face, so ten taels!"

"What? Do you really want to give ten taels of silver? I don't agree. I gave ten taels. How can there be any money left in our family? It's a waste of money, and it can't be cheap for people with foreign surnames. Dad, you have to earn it from your husband-in-law Money to subsidize the third child? These years, the husband has worked so hard, if he loses all the money he earns, what will Erlang and Sanlang talk about in the future? Dad! You can’t just care about the third child and the others? The husband is also your son, you You can't help but think about us!"

When He heard that he really wanted to pay ten taels, it seemed like a pot exploded on the spot. Ten taels of silver could marry two daughters-in-law, and the father-in-law was too partial, regardless of their second wife's life or death.

He couldn't bear it anymore, and howled while patting his thigh.Even the grandchildren who were ordered not to come out of the room set up the window to look at the courtyard.
