Chapter 102 Greed
Tong Zhixin opened his mouth to refuse.

However, Qin An understood his intentions first and did not give him a chance to speak.

"Boss Tong, you see that I don't have any free time here. You can take these pieces of colored glaze away as you are doing me a favor."

"Shopkeeper Qin, then you have to tell me honestly, how much silver are these glazes?"

In short, we can't let shopkeeper Qin suffer.

When selling mushrooms, shopkeeper Qin gave them a lot of benefits, and one must repay them with gratitude.

Qin An looked at Guanshi Zhang.

Manager Zhang understood, took a step forward, took out a list from his arms, and showed it to Tong Zhixin, "This is the price we paid for the colored glaze, and Boss Tong will not have to pay the travel expenses here, just follow what is written on it." yes."

Tong Zhaofu taught Tong Zhixin to recognize capital letters because he needed to buy all kinds of materials for building a house, so that he would not be bullied and deceived by others when he was paying the bill.

Tong Zhixin took the list in his hand, picked a brighter place and looked at it, 130 taels, five big characters stood at the end of the list.The total price of Liuli is 13 yuan, which is also a piece of ten taels of silver.

Tong Zhixin felt that the price was a bit strange, but it was clearly stamped and fingerprinted.

"Boss Tong, did you bring a car?"

Hearing Qin An's question, Tong Zhixin shook his head, "I'll just carry it back by myself."

Qin An chuckled, "Boss Tong, if you hold a piece of colored glaze in your hand, you might change your mind."

Tong Zhixin blinked, and lifted a piece of colored glaze with one hand, but he didn't want to, the colored glaze didn't move, he added another hand, and then lifted a piece of colored glaze.

Really heavy!

Tong Zhixin put Liuli away carefully, "Thank you, Shopkeeper Qin, for reminding me, I'll hire a carriage right now."

Qin An stopped him.

"No need, Boss Tong can take the carriage from my shop."

Tong Zhixin took out a hundred Wen from his pocket and handed it to Guanshi Zhang.

Zhang Guanshi looked at Qin An and saw Qin An nodded, so he collected the silver, went outside, ordered the carriage to be driven to the yard, and together with Tong Zhixin, moved the colored glaze to the carriage.

Before leaving, Tong Zhixin took out a 100 taels of silver note from his pocket, said to let Steward Zhang take the remaining 30 taels of silver at home later, thanked Qin An incessantly, and then got into the carriage and drove home.

.........

Tong Zhixin went out early, and when the people who came to work at their house arrived, he was still on his way to the county.

Fang Cuiwei said, Tong Zhixin went to the county to buy windows, and asked them to fix the convenient hut first.

The foundation of the thatched house is chosen to be on the side of the vegetable field. Firstly, it is close to the thatched house and also close to the new house.Second, it will be easier to pick manure for the vegetable garden in the future.

The huts of ordinary people are built with four pillars, spread some straw on the top, and surrounded by bamboo strips or fences made of reed poles. easy to collapse.In winter, the wind blows inside, and the people who blow directly are cool. Most people, in winter, endure it as much as they can, and don't come out of the house easily.

When Tong Zhi'er was still in Tong's old house, when he saw the hut in the old house, he hated it deeply.

When Tong Zhixin wanted to build a brick house, she just said that the hut should also be built with bricks and tiles.Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei disagreed at first, thinking it was a waste of things, Tong Zhi'er persuaded them for a long time, and finally persuaded them.

There is no way, Tong Zhixin and Fang Cuiwei were used to living a hard life before, and they carefully counted every penny. Even if they have money at home now, they have not changed their thinking of saving.

Saving is good.

But most of the time, Tong Zhi'er would have a headache. Some things that are necessary in her eyes can be achieved with other things in the eyes of Fang Cuiwei and Tong Zhixin. At this time, she has to spend time and energy Ruanmoying with two people.

Fortunately, both of them are people with soft ears, and she will be able to get what she wants after she takes turns acting coquettishly and cutely.

However, after hearing Fang Cuiwei say that his hut was going to be built with bricks and tiles, several craftsmen were really shocked.

That day, the whole village talked about the fact that the fourth child of the Tong family had money and was the richest man in the village.

The reason is that when people build a new house, the new house is made of bricks and tiles, and even the toilet is made of bricks and tiles.

When these words reached Lin's ears, she had other thoughts.

The fourth brother's family is so rich that even the latrines are built with bricks and tiles. She went to their house to borrow some money to arrange a dowry for Tong Cui'er, and it might be possible.

Thinking of this, Mrs. Lin hastily finished the job assigned by Mrs. Tong, tidied up, and secretly took a dozen eggs from the cabinet and put them into the basket.She secretly hid this egg every now and then when the old lady Tong was not paying attention. It was originally to make up for Tong Cui'er, but she didn't move it because she was afraid that the old lady would find out.It's a bit of a sum to save up all day long.

Lin took a piece of cloth to cover the basket, looked around like a thief, and tiptoed out of Tong's old house.She was excited, thinking that if she could borrow money, Tong Cui'er would not have to worry about her dowry, and she would walk like a tiger.

Walking to the edge of the forest, not far from Tong Zhixin's house, Lin raised her head, but her eyes were dazzled by a burst of bright light, and it took a while for her to return to normal.

After searching for a while, she found that it was the light coming from Tong Zhixin's newly built house, and she was secretly surprised.

As she got closer, she saw at a glance that the windows in the new house were actually glazed.

God, that's colored glaze worth ten taels of silver!
When people said that Tong Zhixin's family was rich, Lin always felt that it was a little untrue, but now, seeing the glazed windows in the new house, she believed it.

The new house of Tong Zhixin's family is similar to the quadrangle courtyard in Beijing. It is square. Mrs. Lin approached it and walked around the outside, and found that there are four rooms with glazed windows installed on both sides of the inside and outside. Eight leaves, that is, 80 taels of silver.As for what is installed in other places that Lin has not seen, don't think about it, it must be very valuable.

80 taels, a farmer with a family of three, is only two taels of silver throughout the year, and Tong Zhixin's family buys so much colored glaze. This level of wealth is really extraordinary.

Before coming, Mrs. Lin planned to borrow two taels of silver. After coming, seeing these things, Mrs. Lin thought in her heart that she could borrow five taels of silver.

The fourth son of the family is now paying a hundred taels for every move, so why would he pay attention to a mere five taels of silver?If I speak well, I might be able to borrow ten taels...

The more Lin thought about it, the more excited she became, and the more she thought about it, the more confident she became.

Clinker, the sudden loud voice startled her, and with a shake of her hand, the basket flew out.Because it is a new house, some small stones are placed around it, not soft grass and soil. Lin watched helplessly as the cloth covered with eggs came out, and five or six eggs rolled out of it, crackling. When it hit the stone, the egg white and yolk flowed out instantly.

"You, you pay for my eggs!"

Lin glared at the man angrily, and roared.

The man was also taken aback by Lin's roar, and looked at the eggs splashed with frangipane on the stone, with an apologetic expression on his face.

"Sister, I'm really sorry."

"Hmph, what's the use of saying sorry, my egg was broken because of your words, you have to pay me."

That person had a bitter face, and it was unlucky to have such a thing for no reason.

"Sister, how much do you want?"

Lin's eyeballs rolled.

This man is holding an ax in his hand, and there are some logs scattered around his hands and feet. He should be working in the fourth family's house. The fourth child builds a new house, and the laborers are paid a lot of money.

After making up his mind, Mrs. Lin looked like he had suffered a big loss and said: "I think you are also doing hard work, so I don't ask you how much you want. After all, I am standing here by myself, and it is only five hundred coins. Bar."

Five hundred words?
The man's face was red and white.

Listening to the first half of Lin's sentence, it was still the same thing, but the lion opened his mouth in the last sentence, which really annoyed him.

"Five hundred coins, you have a dozen or so eggs sold in the county for only forty coins, and you want five hundred coins!"

Lin put her hands on her hips and said, "Hmph, of course the five hundred wen is not only money for eggs, but also compensation for frightening me."

"you------"

The man stretched out his fingers angrily, stomped his feet, took out forty Wen from his pocket and threw it on the ground, not wanting to waste words with Lin, turned around and left.

Mrs. Lin was not the kind of person who would let the silver go when he got it. He even picked up the forty coins on the ground, picked up the six unbroken eggs, and chased after the man with a basket.

"what on earth do you want?"

"Losing money!"

"I've already given you the money, don't think I'm easy to bully." The angry stare said.

Lin snorted coldly, "If you don't pay me, I'll ask my fourth brother to fire you. Let's see how you still earn money!"

"boom----"

The man was furious, and threw the ax on the ground with a snap, startling Lin.

"I'm going to talk to Boss Tong."

As he said that, he hurried over to the thatched house.

Lin Shi was taken aback, and chased after him, but men's strength and speed were stronger than women's, and after only a few steps, Lin Shi was left behind.

It's broken, it's broken this time.

Lin stamped her feet angrily, and ran to Tong Zhixin's thatched hut.

Tong Zhixin was drinking tea in the house at the moment, taking a break by the way. Since morning till now, he has gone to the county several times to bring back some doors, stones, and floors.

"Boss Tong, Boss Tong—"

An anxious and loud male voice came from outside, startling Tong Zhixin, fearing that something urgent happened, he quickly came out of the main room.

In the room, Fang Cuiwei who heard the voice also came out to check the situation.

　The old lady Tong here is the old lady in the previous article. The old man Tong who will appear in the future will be changed to old man Tong. Thank you for your support, okay?
