Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 552 Contradictions

Guan Wen did what he said, so he explained the matter clearly that day, saying that he was going back to the village for a while, and Guan Quan took care of everything in the shop.

While talking with Guan Quan about the things to pay attention to recently, a well-dressed butler-like figure suddenly came in at the door of the shop.

With sharp eyes, Guan Quan gave Guan Wen a wink, went up to greet him with a smile, and asked the workers in the shop to make tea.

The man was busy with business, so it was difficult for Li Xin to stay in the shop for a long time. After talking to Guan Wen, he went to the backyard. He vaguely heard the customer saying that he wanted to order a batch of leather goods.

Busy in the backyard making dinner, Guan Wen suddenly raised the curtain, walked towards her with excitement, and announced the good news to her.

"That man is the housekeeper of the Cen Mansion, and he has come to book all kinds of furs for this winter. If the deal is settled, it will be a big income!" Guan Wen couldn't hide the smile on his face: "The housekeeper said, If the price is fair and the quality is good, you can always order from us in the future. The masters, ladies and young masters in their house have more people and more goods."

Li Xin smiled and said, "Really? Then you and the fourth brother should talk to the housekeeper."

After thinking for a while, Li Xin said: "Generally speaking, this kind of business can only be settled by the housekeeper who reports to the mistress in the mansion. You have to give the housekeeper some benefits..."

Guan Wen quickly nodded and said: "I know this, the fourth brother is talking to him now."

"But...we are just a small shop, so why did the Cen House take a fancy to us?" Li Xin hesitated and said, "You tell the fourth brother to be more careful, and use your words to match the housekeeper's words, so don't be fooled. Cheated."

It is not uncommon to be deceived in business. Hearing what Li Xin said, Guan Wen also became a little suspicious in his heart, and solemnly agreed.

After a while, Guan Wen and Guan Quan all came to the backyard, Guan Wen said: "The housekeeper Cen has already left, and the matter is halfway through."

Guan Quan pondered and said: "What my sister-in-law said to my elder brother, my elder brother also told me. I thought about it carefully, and I really feel that something is wrong."

Li Xin asked them to sit aside, the meal was steaming, and there was nothing wrong with them at the moment, so he said to them: "Let's see what the butler Cen is planning. It's not good to be timid when doing business, but you can't fail." Be vigilant. Regardless of the others, it is necessary to pay for it first hand and deliver the goods first hand. When a big family orders an order, at least a deposit is required first.”

Guan Quan nodded, hesitated for a while and then asked Li Xin: "Sister-in-law, do you think we should treat that housekeeper Cen to a meal or something? We're only halfway through today..."

"Don't worry, let's see what attitude he will have tomorrow, and then you will play by ear."

Guan Quan nodded, then sighed and said, "Brother and sister-in-law have to leave tomorrow? It would be nice to stay for two more days..."

Guan Wen smiled and patted him on the shoulder: "It's good that you guard the shop, I have something to do when I go back with your sister-in-law."

Guan Quan just sighed lightly.

Li Xin was busy cooking, so Guan Quan pulled Guan Wen aside and said to him, "Brother, Yueying and I rented a house in the town, but I'm not afraid that there will be no place to live in the town. It's just that in the village... ..."

Guan Wen was silent for a while, and said, "Do you want to build another house?"

Guan Quan hesitated for a while and asked Guan Wen, "Brother, what do you think?"

Guan Wen smiled and said, "This is a matter between you and your wife. How can I make a decision for you? You are usually the one who can make up your mind the most. How come you can't make up your mind on such a big matter?"

Guan Quan scratched his head embarrassingly, and said: "Actually... I have the idea of ​​taking root in the town. I have saved enough money to buy a small building or a small courtyard in the town... It's just that the country is hard to leave. , I was afraid that there would be no place to go back to my hometown..."

Guan Wen was silent for a while and said: "It's not that there is no room. Although your second brother's place is a bit smaller, mine is enough. In addition, A-mei is married, and A-Xiu is still there. There will be a year to get married, and the house will be vacant. You will always have a place to live when you come back."

Guan Quan just sighed with a smile: "It's not appropriate to do this every time."

"Why is it wrong? It's just a place to live. Besides, aren't you planning to take root in this town?"

Guan Wen patted Guan Quan on the shoulder and said, "If you have made up your mind, go on this road, don't procrastinate, this is not like you."

Guan Quan just didn't understand: "But brother, why doesn't my sister-in-law want to come to the town? It's convenient to do anything in the town... If my brother and sister-in-law also come to the town, we can pool money to buy a big yard together like before. Honor grandpa."

Guan Wen said with a smile: "Your sister-in-law said that the town is not as comfortable as the countryside. I think it is true. There are many rules in the town. Your sister-in-law... must also like to stay in the countryside."

After thinking about it for a while, Guan Quan finally understood. He thought that Li Xin's dark days were in places like this town, so he didn't want to come.Then he nodded and said, "From now on, I will have to bother my elder brother and sister-in-law..."

"No trouble." Guan Wen said with a smile, "Shouldn't the fourth siblings be back by now?"

Guan Quan responded, and said calmly: "Almost came out of Shen's residence."

While talking, Guan Quan brought up another topic and asked Guan Wen: "Father and the sixth younger brother have left, and the old house has been locked all the time...it's a waste to leave it there."

Guan Quan looked at Guan Wen's face, saw that he didn't look angry, and said, "It's been almost a year since they left, I see if they plan to come back, that place can't always be empty, At any rate, it was built after grandpa came to Lotus Village to settle down, and it was left there for nothing..."

Guan Wen became more and more silent, Guan Quan saw that he was not enthusiastic about this topic, so he also shut up and did not plan to talk about it.

Unexpectedly, just when he wanted to go back to the counter to continue to settle accounts, Guan Wen replied softly: "There used to be thieves in that place, even if it was rented out, no one would dare to rent it out, let alone sell it. Having said that, it was built since Grandpa came to Hehua Village. Let him be so empty.”

Guan Quan sighed softly and could only nod his head.

In the evening, the four brothers and sisters-in-law had a good meal, because Guan Wen and Li Xin were going back to Lotus Village tomorrow, and Guan Quan and Guan Wen had a lot to talk about in the shop.

Hu Yueying smiled and said to Li Xin: "Second sister-in-law is not bad, right? Little Geng'er has grown up a bit?"

Thinking of Little Geng'er's tender little face and strong arms and legs, Li Xin couldn't help laughing: "Xing'er is good, you can do everything with me. Little Geng'er has grown up a bit, and she doesn't cry anymore He made a fuss, looked around curiously all day, put him down and coaxed him to cry, he must be held upright."

A look of envy appeared on Hu Yueying's face, followed by extreme loneliness.

Li Xin inadvertently saw her expression, paused in his heart, and then said softly: "Don't worry too."

Hu Yueying sighed, and glanced at Guan Quan, holding back something to say to Li Xin, but she was afraid that Li Xin would turn around and tell Guan Wen, and Guan Wen would use this to talk to Guan Quan...then Guan Quan would not Do you have to blame her for being so eloquent?

Hu Yueying shook her head and didn't say much.

With her like this, it's not easy for Li Xin to ask too many questions. Guan Wen can't take care of her husband and wife's business, let alone her sister-in-law.

Li Xin could only pat her on the back lightly, and said to her with a smile: "Now you two are making good money and saving money, your son is waiting for you to save his wife's money for him."

Hu Yueying let out a "puchi" laugh, and also teased Li Xin: "Then sister-in-law, you should hurry up, I'm afraid my wife has saved several sons, right?"

Li Xin smiled faintly, and Hu Yueying realized that what she said didn't seem quite right, she looked at Li Xin with some embarrassment and said, "Sister-in-law, don't be surprised... I don't know how to speak very much..."

Li Xin smiled lightly and shook his head: "It's okay."

Guan Wen asked Li Xin softly when he was sleeping in the evening: "Did the fourth sibling tell you anything today?"

Li Xin was surprised for a moment: "No, what can I say?"

Guan Wen then said softly: "Nothing."

Li Xin thought about it carefully, and it seemed that Hu Yueying was hesitant to speak, so she asked Guan Wen, "What did fourth brother tell you?"

Guan Wen just smiled: "The fourth brother didn't say anything, but seeing that the fourth brother and sister were excited to talk to you, they were afraid that they would complain to you if they said anything, so they mentioned it to me lightly."

"Oh?" Li Xin became interested: "What did fourth brother say?"

"The matter of their husband and wife..." Guan Wen sighed: "It is said that their husband and wife are divorced, and the money earned by the fourth brother goes to the family. When I came out, I went back to Lotus Village from time to time, not to mention coming back to see you and my second brother and sister. When I went back to Lotus Village, I only went to see Father Hu... The fourth brother said that he was afraid that the fourth brother and sister would tell you that he was wrong. , causing you to misunderstand him."

Li Xin didn't know what opinion she could express on this matter, how other people's couples lived, she didn't have much to say, did she?

"It's up to the husband and wife to communicate on their own... Now that they are making more money, they should discuss how to live their lives." Li Xin pulled Guan Wen and said, "We can't get involved in this matter, let them Grind it yourself."

Guan Wen nodded, but after a while he smiled and said: "It seems that the fourth brother is a small belly, I am afraid that the fourth brother and sister will speak ill of him behind his back."

Guan Wen and Li Xin were going back to Lotus Village early the next morning. Guan Quan and Hu Yueying came to see them off early in the morning, but they ignored each other.

Hu Yueying stepped forward, pulled Li Xin to the back, and said in a low voice angrily: "Sister-in-law, did Brother Quan put eye drops in front of Brother? What did he say about me?"

Li Xin scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I didn't say anything..."

"How could it be possible that you didn't say anything?" Hu Yueying was a little annoyed: "Sister-in-law, don't just listen to him alone, he will only talk about me, and he will talk about himself whenever he wants! There is a lot of money, and the heart is weak. How wild, flirting with little girls..."

As soon as Hu Yueying said this, Li Xin immediately froze.
