Chapter 71 I owe 30 taels of silver

Chen Xingyan doesn't make much now, the hawthorn cake is two wooden trays a day, and there will be no more when they are sold out.

But hawthorn strips, they do more now.

This thing is durable and not easy to break, and Chen Xingyan has followed the path of that drug dealer.

Chen Xingyan not only made hawthorn strips, but also made hawthorn slices.

Hawthorn strips and hawthorn slices are named Ruyisi and Ruyipian respectively. Firstly, they don’t want outsiders to understand the raw materials of this product, and secondly, they are also for the sake of making the rich people willing to pay for it.

Recently, Chen Xingyan was thinking about whether to stop hawthorn cake.

There are not many people at the head of the house, and she dare not let others do some key things at will.

Generally speaking, it's either her or Qi's.

Chen Xingyan felt that it was either to reduce production, or to buy a few more people back.

After living in the village for a while, Chen Xingyan didn't dare to look at people with the same eyes as before.

Although most of the villagers are very simple, there are always a few sneaky people who come here from time to time and want to do something for you to make people hate you.

Chen Xingyan also didn't want to tear himself apart, so he just turned a blind eye to some things and let it go.

But if someone goes too far, she will naturally not follow her.

Now the hawthorn fruit on the tree outside is basically gone, and they have been taken into the house by their family.

Now, except for the ten women who do some delicate work at her place every day, no one else comes here, which makes Chen Xingyan feel relieved a lot.

After discussing with Mrs. Wang, Chen Xingyan decided to ask Sanbao's wife to be a small steward, such as asking her to be responsible for the division of labor, or arrange some chores, etc.

The three leopards' daughter-in-law was not too daring at first.

After all, I have been in that kind of family for several years.

It's just that seeing her sister-in-law's calm and generous demeanor now, she immediately felt that she should also learn from her sister-in-law, and after hesitating, she agreed.

The matter of inspecting the Si Yamen in the town made Lujia Village lively for several days.

The house on Lu Sanbao's side has also been built, but it's too damp to live in. In addition, there are still some minor tasks that have not been completed.

Lu Daxiong went to the brick kiln to buy a few carts of blue bricks, and then built up the east and west side houses, and built a corridor in the middle, so that if it rains, it will not rain again.

Liu Dazhuang said here that he only charged the lowest price, but Lu Daxiong refused, and brought a dozen brothers to dinner, how can he always be so generous!

In the final settlement, Lu Daxiong owed Zhuanwa a total of 30 taels of silver.

When the accounts were settled, Lu Xingwang was on the sidelines, because he was the one who counted the bricks and tiles used in this house, and now it is necessary to settle the money, and he is naturally indispensable.

When Lu Sanbao heard that he owed so much, he said he would pay it back.

Lu Daxiong just glanced at him indifferently, "It's none of your business, just buy some furniture with the money you have on hand, I don't care about the rest."

Lu Sanbao knew that he couldn't beat this big brother.

"It's getting cold soon, and in a few days, you will burn the kang and fire wall in the house, so that the house will dry faster."

The reason why Lu Daxiong decided to get all this done was because he didn't want to deal with Lu Erzhu and Chen Xiaofang anymore.

Although they are his own parents, it would be so embarrassing to stand under the same roof.

This time the construction was completed at once. Although he owed money, Lu Daxiong was still happy.

At least in the future, I don't have to deal with them because of the house, which saves me a lot of trouble.

Lu Daxiong is quite a respectable person in the village now, and the brick kiln knows that he is the new inspector, so naturally he wants to curry favor with him.

It's just that they owed 30 taels of silver, and they said they would settle it before the end of the year, and they were willing to pay an interest of one tael of silver. How could they have any reason for it?

After returning, Lu Xingwang told about Daxiong's debt.

The village chief sighed, and said with a bit of distress: "We all know that Da Xiong is so successful, but building this brick house is not a matter of one or two words, and it is all real money. The house is well built. I went to have a look, and the room is brightly lit."

Lu Xingwang curled his lips and said: "Isn't that right? I also saw that the house was well built, the foundation was also compacted, and even the side room was built. I think Daxiong is just to take care of those younger brothers and sisters. If only For Uncle Er Zhu, even Da Xiong would not be willing to pay this money."

The village chief also nodded in agreement and said, "I also think that you, Uncle Erzhu, are confused. Forget it, anyway, the house is built, and Da Xiong is doing his best to his family. He built the house and found an errand for Sigou. It’s also arranged for San Bao, so what can you expect from them?”

The more Lu Xingwang thought about it, the more he defended Lu Daxiong, "A few days ago, I saw Grandma Sanbao and Uncle Erzhu arguing, saying that she has lived for dozens of years and has never lived in a green brick house, and I don't know that. What is the smell in the house!"

Speaking of this, Lu Xingwang felt that the old lady had a thick skin.

"Tsk, I don't know what I'm thinking, they're all separated, and the house was built with money paid by Da Xiong. If the old lady really lives in it, won't she be afraid of waking up from nightmares in the middle of the night?"

The village chief slapped him on the back of the head: "Okay, it's useless to stop talking about it. Your mother just burned it on fire. Go and send some to your Dahan's house."

"Got it, Dad."

This fire is made of glutinous rice noodles, and the inside is covered with brown sugar stuffing, which is rare for ordinary people to eat.

This thing is too expensive.

Mrs. Wang took over a large bowl of Huo Shao, each of them was the size of her palm, and there were probably eleven or twelve of them.

"Xingxing, wait a moment."

Mrs. Wang also knew that she couldn't be in vain, so she asked Mrs. Qi to put a chicken marinated in the stove on it.

Xingwang took a look, and refused again and again: "This is not possible! You should eat it yourself."

"You're welcome! Eat it. The big bear and the butcher went into the mountains yesterday to hunt them. There are still two in the pot. You take one back, just in time to have a drink with your father."

"Then, thank you, auntie."

Although Lu Xingwang felt that it was inappropriate, he was still greedy for the smell, especially looking at the braised chicken with red sauce, thinking about it would make his mouth water.

The next day, news spread that Lu Daxiong owed 30 taels of foreign debt in order to build a new house for Lu Erzhu's family.

Originally, the villagers thought that Lu Laohan's family had made a lot of money these days, including medicinal materials and hawthorn cakes, but they didn't expect to earn so much.

Isn't this not even the money to build a house?
"Tsk, I don't know if I really owed money. I saw that Lu Laohan's family came in and out a lot every day. With those hawthorn fruits, how much black-hearted money do you think their family has to earn!"

The wealthy daughter-in-law was not happy when she heard this, "Why do you say this? Why do people make black-hearted money? Don't spit shit out of your mouth!"
