Eldest daughter

Chapter 174
Old man Wang was quite hesitant. This side is the painstaking efforts of several generations. As Wang Yuaner said, it is also a livelihood shop. If it is sold, it is really reluctant.But on the other side are the thoughts and hopes of the second child.

In the past year, he watched Wang Yuan'er start a business. Even an orphan, she gritted her teeth and lived her life well. In this town, who wouldn't praise her Yuan'er as a capable girl?I am proud of myself, if I don't praise her, I can't justify it.

This old man is different from the younger generation. The old man's mind is that this one can live a good life, and that one can't live a bad life. When the big house is done, the second child's family can't be left behind. He is full of hope that the life of the whole family of Wang's family will be happy. If you have a good head and a head, that is called happiness.

But girl Yuan has a brain, and the second and second couple are not good enough. Even the little job of the overseer took a lot of money to ask for it. After working for so long, there may not be any real rewards, at least , he didn't know from the old woman that the second child had paid a monthly salary. Instead, he took money from her every now and then, calling it turnover entertainment.

Seeing that the orphans in the first room are living a safe and beautiful life, but the second room is not improving at all, he feels anxious!

At first glance, I saw that the eldest granddaughter went to invest in the merchant ship again, and the second house was in trouble. Now, there is a chance, but the price is to sell the shop!
Old man Wang was shaking in his heart, he took out the cigarette bag from his waist, lit it and smoked.

Mrs. Zhang bumped into Wang Er.

"Father, now that I'm working on the river, you have been the only one to manage this shop. You're getting old, so you can take a break. The shop is sold and you invest in merchant ships, so it can be useful." Wang said. Er thought about it, and then looked at Wang Yuan'er: "This shop is sold, and it belongs to your big house, and I don't want any."

"Second Uncle, it's not a matter of giving us this house, but it's the foundation of our Wang family's life!" Wang Yuan'er's eyes were red with anxiety, and said: "Second Uncle only knows that investing in this merchant ship is profitable, but there is I haven't calculated the consequences in case of failure, if the Tang family's management is not good, if the Tang family's uncle is not such a material, wouldn't it be a waste of time? Then the shop will be gone in the future, what will we eat?"

"Yo ho, I dare say that in the Northern Dynasty, the third son Song is a good businessman, and others will lose money in everything they do!" Mrs. Zhang finally couldn't help arguing.

Wang Yuan'er ignored him and only looked at Wang Er and Old Man Wang. Seeing that they were silent, her heart sank continuously.

After a long while, she finally stood up: "Second Aunt is right, Grandpa and Grandma are still there, so this shop is naturally up to you. Since you are determined to sell it, then sell it, and take what I say as it is." Have not heard!"

Mrs. Zhang was overjoyed, but afraid of showing too much, she pretended to be magnanimous and said: "Don't worry, the share that belongs to the big house will be returned to you!"

Wang Yuan'er glanced at her indifferently, and said, "I just hope that Second Aunt will not regret today's decision in the future."

After being stabbed by her like this, Mrs. Zhang almost jumped up again, but Wang Yuan'er had already walked out.

The sisters Wang Chun'er soon learned of their plan to sell the shop, Wang Lan'er didn't feel much about it, but Wang Chun'er and Qing'er were both governors, so they felt that it was too much.

"Everyone knows that you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Grandpa and the others are so confused!" Wang Qing'er said without holding back.

Wang Chun'er glared at her, looked at Wang Yuan'er, and asked, "Sister, can this matter be resolved?"

She has the most traditional temperament, but she always thinks that the carpenter's shop has been passed down from generation to generation, so she shouldn't just sell it like this. Now that she sells it, what will their Xiaobaolai do in the future?
"I've persuaded you if you should, and you can explain clearly, if they want to sell, let's sell it!" Wang Yuan'er was full of depression, and she could already conclude that the shop would be sold in all likelihood.

Sure enough, at the end of the night, the old man Wang told Wang Yuaner about his decision to sell the shop, selling the goods together with the shop, because the price was estimated, and it was still a little different from the several hundred taels of silver, so Wang Yuaner's share, for a while. I'm afraid I can't give it, I will give it after I earn money in the future.

"Don't worry, if I'm with your grandma for a day, I won't miss you." Old man Wang said.

Wang Yuaner forced a smile.

The next day, Old Man Wang released the news that the store was going to be sold, and within two days, a buyer came to his door, and after seeing it for sure, the deal was quickly made.

In just five days, the plaque of Wang Ji's carpenter's shop was taken back, and old man Wang moved it back in person, wiping the plaque over and over again.

Wang Yuan'er looked at it coldly, it was all sold, so what's the use of not giving up?

The shop was sold, and Mrs. Wang took out the key again, and took out all her life's frugal savings, and gave it all to Wang and his wife.

With the money from the shop, and savings, plus what Wang Min'er gave, Zhang's private house, he pooled up 500 taels of silver and gave it to the Tang family. Finally, he got a contract document, and Zhang was so happy that he couldn't walk. windy.

Wang Yuan'er sighed, this time he really took away his old background, just for a piece of paperwork.

Now that the matter is a foregone conclusion, she only hopes that the Tang family can manage well, and the second uncle and the others can quickly recover the cost, otherwise, they will really suffer from the northwest wind!
On October 23, when the north wind blows, Changle Town ushered in its first snow. The crystal snowflakes fall and spread thinly. Winter is coming!

The shop was sold, and the old man Wang was not used to it at first. He went to the shop every day and sighed when he came back. It's a feeling of doing nothing.

The Wang family has taken out all the money, and Mrs. Wang has less than ten taels of silver in her hands. Looking at Zhang, her eyes are not eyes, her nose is not a nose, and she has no money in her hands, so she naturally cut down on food and clothing. I can't get enough meat.

This fellow Fuquan, seeing his elder sister married into a good family, and his father and mother had just invested money in a big business, his heart grew big, he didn't want to do some hard work on the river department, and he didn't talk to Wang Er Just say it, and if you don't want to go, you won't go. When Wang Er knows that he is going to fight, Mrs. Zhang keeps protecting her, while Fuquan calls her brother-in-law a big shot, and there is no price to pay for doing those things.

Wang Er couldn't beat him, and seeing his mother-in-law was protecting him, he let him go.

Father didn't care, Fuquan was like a wild horse that had let loose, jumping up and down, playing wildly with Zhang's cousin and aunt's nephew.

Wang Yuan'er watched carefully, if things go on like this, something will happen to Fuquan sooner or later!
But what can she say, these days, Mrs. Zhang, seeing her is like seeing an enemy, and she still blames her for wanting to stop them from investing in the Tang family's merchant ship!
Everyone has their own destiny, Wang Yuan'er is too lazy to worry about things, so as not to say that she has a bad heart.

Now that the first snow fell, the north wind started to blow, and the weather became even colder. Seeing that the twelfth lunar month of winter was coming, the work on the river department accelerated, because once the twelfth lunar month came, the work would stop .

Although the weather was cold, all the workers were coolies. Wang Yuan'er went back and forth through the river, watching the big men working there with their shuttlecocks.

Strolling around the river, Wang Yuan'er couldn't resist the cold wind, so Wang Yuaner quickly returned to her small courtyard.

"Elder sister, elder sister, come quickly." After returning home, Wang Chun'er hurriedly dragged Wang Bao to the shop with Wang Bao on her back.

Wang Yuan'er didn't know why, so when he walked to the shop, he saw a man in his twenties standing at the door of the shop. At his feet, there was a little girl about three or four years old, biting her finger and looking at the dried incense on the desk. The halazi flowed long.

"Sister, he said he wanted to rent our yard." Wang Chun'er pointed at that person, blushing a little.

"You want to rent a room?"

Wang Yuan'er looked him up and down. This man looked like 23. He was wearing a long gown with a few patches on his body, but the starch was very clean, and he was carrying a basket on his back. As for his appearance, his complexion was slightly dark, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. , the sleeve on the arm was slightly rolled up, and it was obvious that he was a strong person.

"Hou Biao, when I first arrived in Changle Town, I saw that your house has a yard for rent, can you rent it to me?" Hou Biao looked at Wang Yuan'er with a bright smile, and immediately explained his intention.

"Our yard is relatively remote, and the room is not big, you..." Wang Yuan'er glanced at the little girl beside him. Seeing her looking over, the little girl hid behind Hou Biao's legs and poked out a small head. Look at her, her big eyes are rolling around.

"It's just me and my little girl."

It's really his daughter, Wang Yuan'er thought in his heart, and then said a few words about the terrain of his yard and so on.

"It's nothing, I don't have anything, and I'm a big bastard. I don't think there's anything to covet, but this rent money..." Hou Biao hesitated, and asked: "Can you reduce it?"

In the past, I rented it to Cui Yuan for two taels of silver a month, but now she has reduced it to one tael and a half.

"I'm just father and daughter. I can live in one house, and you can rent the other house to others." Seeing Wang Yuaner's hesitation, Hou Biao said again.

"Eldest sister, the yard is empty anyway, it's so pitiful to see the little girl." Wang Chun'er saw that the clothes on the little girl's body were all scratched, and she didn't know why it was just the father and daughter.

But Wang Yuan'er thought more, and asked a few more questions about Hou Biao's situation, don't invite a bandit of unknown origin or something, it will be troublesome.

"Don't worry, Miss Wang. I'm from Huazhou. I brought my daughter along because of the flood in my hometown and my mother-in-law disappeared. I'm not a treacherous person." Hou Biao explained with a smile, and put The customs clearance documents and other documents that he carried on his body represented his identity and handed them to her.

Wang Yuan'er took it and looked at it, her face became a little hot, and she handed it over and said, "I'm sorry, the New Year's Eve is approaching, so I have to be more cautious."

Hou Biao said nothing happened.

"Daddy, Dandan is hungry." The little girl said, looking at the marinated eggs on the table.

Wang Chun'er quickly wrapped a marinated egg and handed it over: "Take it and eat."

"Thank you!" Hou Biao looked at Wang Chun'er and said sincerely. Wang Chun'er's face turned red, and she lowered her head and said no thanks.

Seeing this, Wang Yuan'er felt a little weird, but quickly ignored it, and took Hou Biao and his daughter to the small courtyard.
