Fertile land

Chapter 96

"Sister, look at this, my eldest brother can buy your tea for two hundred cents. Is that feasible?"

The woman's eyes were filled with joy and excitement. She grabbed his arm with a pair of catkins and kept thanking him: "Brother! You are so good! My sister is so grateful to you!"

"Haha, it's okay!"

Lao Li's head was trembling, for fear that she would smell him!
"Brother, where do you live? I'll thank you later when I have time!"

Lao Li's head and soles seemed to have stayed there forever, smelling the fragrance coming from her body. It smelled so good!
My feet weigh a thousand pounds and I can't lift them. Everything feels wrong!
He has a deep sense of accomplishment in rescuing the weak!
At this moment, I feel like I am the king!

cough……!
Old Li Tou waved his hand in a strange way, "Sister, this is a copper coin! Keep it!"

On the way, I was holding the set of purple clay teapots, my hands felt heavy...

He generously told her his home address and asked her to send him a message if she needed anything!

When I walked to the road, I felt a little regretful. I was a little impulsive just now!Will the Zhou family live or die if they find out?

After thinking about it, he didn't do anything?
He just helped a weak woman. She had tortured him for so many years. What was he afraid of her doing?

Thinking of those pitiful eyes, my heart skipped a beat and my steps hurried.

After entering the city gate, he walked towards the shop owned by his father-in-law, Leiwa, the second eldest son in town.

After walking for half a quarter of an hour, we arrived at Huaihua Lane on Nanmen Street. We passed by Donglin Academy where the fifth child, Li Gui, went to school. We stood at the door and looked around.

The school was built on the mountain, with the red door open. Under the reflection of the rising sun, the clusters of buildings inside looked very majestic and solemn, with towering trees and twists and turns of corridors, which made him in awe!
Some of the students were holding books on the road, and some were rushing into the hall. After looking for a long time, they didn't see Li Gui!

It deserves to be the number one school in Taoyuan Town!

It’s a shame that the entire family has sacrificed so much for him!
At this time, a middle-aged man who was guarding the door saw him at the door and walked over from a distance. He frowned and drove him away: "That farmer carrying a basket on his back, what are you doing standing at the door? "

"Leave quickly, can you bear the impact on the students' academic performance?"

"Haha, I'm sorry, I'm just curious, take a look!"

"What are you looking at? Leave quickly!"

"Yes, yes, I'm leaving now! Haha!"

Lao Li was scolded, his face turned red, and he felt quite happy.

How grand!His precious baby is studying there!
What an honor.

Because he left in a hurry, he ran into an alley. The South Street was interspersed with alleys.

And if he walked straight ahead along this alley, he should be able to reach the main road of the market.

He was walking step by step with the basket on his back, and suddenly he seemed to see a thin and familiar figure passing by from behind.

The man entered the back door, and when he closed the door, no one could be seen!

"Noble baby?"

He rubbed his dim eyes. It was impossible. Gui'er was studying in the academy now. What was he thinking about?

Haha, it must be that he missed Gui'er too much just now and misunderstood.

Still worried, he hurried forward and knocked on the door. The red door was closed tightly.

Inside, there was a "squeak!" The door opened a crack. A girl of seventeen or eighteen years old opened the door for her and looked through the small crack.

"What are you doing?"

Seeing that he was dressed like a peasant and carrying a basket on his back, he asked, "Are you here to find a girl too?"

"What? Looking for a girl? Well... no, I'm just taking a look!"

"nerve!"

The door slammed shut!
Why is there still a woman's inner clothes in this partial garden?
There is no one in the yard!

Suddenly there was the sound of a woman laughing and joking. He shook his head and didn't know where he was today!

Thinking of the woman on the road just now, she really has such good luck today!

If only he were 30 years younger!It’s better to go to Leiwa as soon as possible!When Lao Li arrived at Chen Kee, there were occasionally two or three people buying cloth in the store!

Li Lei nodded and bent down to help get the cloth. His cloth shop was actually only a dozen square meters, very small. There were Li Lei, his father-in-law, his brother-in-law Chen Pi, and his brother-in-law's daughter-in-law He Hua.

The only ones missing were Mrs. Chen and her mother, who were probably raising their baby in the rented house.

Li Lei saw her pointing at a piece of cloth and asked, "Madam, you have good taste. The cloth you chose is blue calico from Jiangnan Hongfutai Dyeing House!"

"This is the time to make skirts in the summer, and the outer blouse is very beautiful!"

He took it off the shelf and handed it to the woman to look at.

The woman took it and touched it, "Oh? What's the price?"

Li Lei said seriously: "The fabric from Hongfutai in the south of the Yangtze River is naturally more expensive. This one costs ten taels of silver, and one foot is eight hundred cents!"

The woman sneered and said: "Who are you fooling? I still can't tell. The hand-woven cloth used by Jiangnan Hongfutai has a blue background with white flowers. The cloth dyed with Polygonum indigo grass is full and bright in color, which is very cute!"

"The workmanship of your fabric is rough and the color is not full. It is obviously a fake from a private workshop!"

"How courageous! I never thought that a small store like Chen Ji would dare to sell fakes!"

These words attracted the attention of several other people in the store!
Li Lei's father-in-law quickly stepped forward to apologize and apologize, fearing that she would cause trouble!

"Forget it, the store is so small, I just came here to wander around with nothing to do!"

The woman didn't care anymore and left with the little girl!
As soon as he stepped forward, Li Lei was scolded all over his face: "Li Lei, do you have a look? Do you understand clearly? You have made such a low-level mistake after working for so long?"

"Dad, I just saw that she was dressed in ordinary clothes, so I probably didn't recognize her, so..."

"How dare you make excuses!"

Li Lei felt very uncomfortable and aggrieved. He saw his father-in-law scolding him, and his brother-in-law and his wife also came to complain about him.

"Dad, if he keeps doing this, let them go back to the village. Now our shop's business is getting worse and worse. Who can afford to support so many people in this town!"

His father-in-law was expressionless and didn't speak!

"Did you hear what your sister-in-law said?"

Li Lei shook his hand!

"Yes! I'm sorry, Dad, I was wrong. I will never do it again next time!"

"Hmph! Just wait until you do something like destroying the sign again!"

This floral cloth was the business brought in by Li Lei. He originally didn't agree with selling fake cloth in the name of someone else's big dye house, but the profit was too high, and a small shop like theirs would inevitably be tempted!
Old Li Tou looked inside at the door and just missed the scene where Li Lei was scolded!
After Li Lei was reprimanded, he ran to the backyard and said he would come when it was convenient!
The brother-in-law's wife muttered a few words to his back, "You're a sneaky person who just said a few words and ran away! That's it!"

Then he greeted at the door, "Haha, guest, what kind of cloth do you want to buy? Come in and take a look..."

When he raised his eyes, he saw Lao Li Tou, who was swinging with a basket on his back at the door. He looked around tremblingly at the door. He suddenly lost his temper and said in disgust: "Yes! Here comes another debt collector!"

His brother-in-law heard this and when he saw it was Old Li Tou, he quickly said that his wife was not her: "Hehua, look at you, what are you talking about?"

He hurriedly greeted me, "Uncle, why do you want to come here now?"

Because they rarely come here, they are probably afraid of causing trouble to Li Lei...

"Haha, I won't come in and disturb you. You are open for business. Look at me like this. I will tell Li Lei something and leave!"

"Oh, that's it. Just wait a minute and I'll call him!"

The brother-in-law ran to call Li Lei. When Li Lei came out and saw it was his father, his eyes showed impatience. He understood what was going on and was a little unhappy.

He looked at his sister-in-law and pulled his father out, "Dad, why are you here?"

"Haha, Lei Wa, my family hasn't been very busy lately, so I came to see you! How are your wife and kids?"

"Well, it's okay!"

Li Lei said impatiently, and he said it well. If you really care about their family of four, how could you not even help him last time?
