Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 70

The Zhu family sent many kinds of things, such as clothing materials, cakes, high-quality rouge powder, children's clothes, and in the smallest box, there were silver melon seeds and eight pairs of silver screws in the shape of plum blossoms.Seeing these things made Zhao's heart jump, she kept asking Fang Dachuan: "Dachuan, with so many things, could it be that the Zhu family sent the wrong one? How much does it cost, why did you accept it? Return it to the family quickly."

Seeing that Mrs. Zhao was about to cover these boxes, Fang Dachuan hurriedly stopped him and said, "Grandma, it's confiscated, we deserve it."

Mrs. Zhao became anxious when she heard Fang Dachuan say this: "What do you mean by what you deserve? Yueniang didn't say that at the time because she asked the Zhu family to give us money, right? It seems that we are trying to do this." Those who have lost money have no human taste at all.”

Fang Dachuan smiled bitterly and said, "Grandma, you are really wrong. I accepted this thing, and it is humane to the Zhu family."

"What do you mean? I'm afraid that if we don't collect things, we will get into their house?" Mrs. Zhao's expression became ugly as she spoke, and after seeing Fang Dachuan's helpless approval, she was silent for a while and said, "This rich man It’s really difficult to understand their thoughts, but anyway, we haven’t had such thoughts, so it’s right to accept them, I’m not used to their stinking problems.”

The busy autumn harvest was finally over, and Fang Dachuan finally had time to accompany Wen Yue to the town to find a shop, but, as the saying goes, thinking is easier than doing.I went to three dental shops in the town, big and small, but I couldn't find a suitable shop. Either the house was too big or the location was not good. In desperation, Wen Yue could only follow Fang Dachuan and the two of them to start walking around the streets. A long journey to find.

Seeing that it was getting late, Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan, who still had nothing to gain, were inevitably a little discouraged. Although Luoshui Town is not small, there is only one bustling commercial street. There is a radish and a pit, and you can't buy it at all. Paving.Not to mention buying, even renting, it is also hard to find.So Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan recognized the reality early on and gave up there, and have been looking for some streets that are not prosperous but have a few shops.

"Yue Niang, I think we should go here first today. We have basically visited all the shops in the town, and there is indeed no shop that meets our requirements. Why don't we go back and study it, and rent one first." Fang Dachuan said. Get in the car, walk slowly, and look around from time to time to see if there is anything missing in the initial search.

Although Wen Yue was a little bit reconciled, she still nodded. Fang Dachuan was right. Before there was no suitable shop, it would be a good idea to rent one first.After all, it is a lot of money to buy a shop. If the location is not good, the business will not return the money in the future, and if it is difficult to sell, it must be a waste of money.

"Brother Fang, what a coincidence, I met you here." Just as Fang Dachuan was pulling Wen Yue towards the city gate, shopkeeper Mo walked towards him.

Wen Yue hurriedly got out of the car, and together with Fang Dachuan said hello to shopkeeper Mo, shopkeeper Mo said with a smile: "When did you come, why don't you go to my place?"

He really likes Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue. Although this young couple is not very old, they are very authentic. Although he does not lack the things Fang Da sent, he is very fond of them. care.Having lived to this age, I don't know how many people I have helped in my life, how many people I have helped build bridges for, but there are very few people who have always known how to be grateful.

"I took up too much time this time because of business, and I didn't take the time to see you. I planned to see you next time." Fang Dachuan quickly explained when he saw that shopkeeper Mo seemed to be blaming him.

Shopkeeper Mo saw that Fang Dachuan was so honest, and said with a smile: "I was just joking, to scare you, well, it's getting late now, why don't you go to my house and have dinner before leaving."

Fang Dachuan looked at the sky, and could only refuse Shopkeeper Mo's kindness, "I'm afraid it won't work today, it's already a bit late, and I'm afraid it will be inconvenient to go out of the city at night, so I'd better go to your house to bother you next time."

Shopkeeper Mo nodded and said, "Alright, it's really inconvenient for you to live outside the city. I can't force you to stay. However, I think you young couple seem to have something on their minds. I just saw you two from afar. They are all frowning, let's talk about it while there is still some time, and see if I can help you."

When Shopkeeper Mo said he wanted to help, Fang Dachuan's heart lit up. Compared with them, Shopkeeper Mo was as familiar with this town as his own. "This is really great. The two of us are also worrying now. We thought that if we still had no clue, we would have to ask your old man."

"It's useless to say less, and I'll know if I can help you when I say it. It's useless to put such a high hat on now."

Whether it is Fang Dachuan or Shopkeeper Mo, the conversation between the two of them has become more and more casual now, which is also the reason for the deepening of mutual understanding.Shopkeeper Mo likes Fang Dachuan's simple but not pedantic character, while Fang Dachuan is always grateful for Shopkeeper Mo's enthusiasm and help, so whenever he comes to town, Fang Dachuan will definitely chat with shopkeeper Mo. He learned some knowledge that is usually difficult to access.

"It's like this, Uncle Mo, our husband and wife also want to start a small business, so we came to the town to find a shop. But when we came, we found that we thought things simply, and there was no suitable one for us at all. shop, so I'm worried." Fang Dachuan sighed again as he said.

After listening to Shopkeeper Mo, he smiled and said, "Oh, so, next time we meet, I will call Shopkeeper Fang?" He was sincerely happy for Fang Dachuan, and after saying yes, Then he said: "It's a bit difficult to shop. The main street has been occupied for a long time. If you want to buy now, you have to go to the alley on the side, but there is no good location there. Let's do it," he looked up. Looking at the sky, he said: "It's too late today, come to the shop tomorrow and find me, I'll show you a place, if you think it's good and you have money, you can consider renting it."

"But we want to buy it!" Fang Dachuan said abruptly when he heard it.

"Buy?" Shopkeeper Mo paused for a moment, shook his head and said, "There are similar shops in the town, and you can't buy them without a few hundred taels of silver. It's your first time doing business, and your family is not rich, so you can't be so rash." Putting in such a large amount of money. Let’s rent a shop first, and wait to see if your business is making money. This business is not as simple as you imagined.”

Shopkeeper Mo’s words woke up Wen Yue, who has been obsessed with buying shops. In fact, what shopkeeper Mo said was true. Although he just got 500 taels of silver, the shop with the worst location that he saw in the dental store cost 400 taels. Only two taels can be bought. After the expenses, they only have the one or two hundred taels of silver left in their hands. Although it looks like a lot, but if something happens, it probably disappears like running water. .

There is an old saying that "it is better to spend the New Year with money in your hands". This is not unreasonable, especially in this era when making money is so difficult, it is very important to have savings at home for emergencies. It is indeed a bit too much for the money to come out.

In fact, the reason why she wanted to buy a shop so much was because she wanted to bring her family to live in the town. She really didn't like the villagers in Zhoujiabaozi, because they were not very happy living there because of Fang Tongye's relationship.But thinking about it now, she owns such a big village in Lijiagou, and the house is ready-made, so why insist on moving to the town?Isn't it the same to live in Lijiagou?

And this is also her wishful thinking. Although Mrs. Zhao is always disgusted with some people in the village, she does have many old friends in the village. If she suddenly asked her to live in another place, would she be willing?

Seeing Wen Yue keeping his head down, Fang Dachuan thought that Wen Yue was not very happy about renting a shop, but he was still not very optimistic considering the difficulty of buying a shop.Coupled with Mo shopkeeper's bitter persuasion, Fang Dachuan's heart began to waver, but Wen Yue didn't express his opinion, and he couldn't make a decision by himself, so he said to shopkeeper Mo: "Uncle Mo, what you said I made a note, I will think about it when I go back tonight, and I will come to you before noon tomorrow."

After saying goodbye to Shopkeeper Mo, Fang Dachuan said to Wen Yue in the car: "Yue Niang, do you disagree with Shopkeeper Mo's proposal? But I think what he said still makes sense."

"Dachuan, shopkeeper Mo is right. I was impatient about this matter. I always wanted to eat a fat man, ignoring the risks involved." Wen Yue moved to Fang Dachuan's side and said, "Tomorrow we will come to Mo Shopkeeper, let's see what kind of shop he introduced to us, as long as it is settled, we can immediately sell our products."

Seeing that Wen Yue was no longer obsessed with buying a shop, Fang Dachuan heaved a sigh of relief. All that came from his ears were Wen Yue's beautiful thoughts about the future. Fang Dachuan also felt his whole body full of energy, "Drive!" With a beautiful whip, the mule, a new member of the family, ran quickly.

The store introduced by shopkeeper Mo is in the back street not far from his Jinxiufang. Although it is not as crowded as the main street, it is the second busiest street in the town. Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan were also looking for it here yesterday. However, nothing was found.Standing in front of a shop with a locked door, Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan were a little surprised and didn't know what to say. It was better to have shopkeeper Mo around than they wandered in disorder.

Shopkeeper Mo saw that Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan had observed at the door for a long time, and after they all showed satisfaction, he took out the key and opened the door lock, and the layout of the shop fell into the sight of Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue for a while.This is a storefront about [-] square meters in size. It is empty without any decorations. There are cobwebs on the corners. It seems that no one has cleaned it for a long time.

Shopkeeper Mo asked Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan to stay in this room for a while, and then led them through the back hall door into the backyard. Although the backyard is not very spacious, there are several houses. Satisfied.These few rooms are completely enough for their daily use, and even a room can be vacated to be used as a warehouse. Judging from the layout of this room, it has been carefully designed.

"How about it, are you satisfied here? There is a store in front of this place, and a residence in the back. You can move in with your whole family after a simple tidying up. The only thing that is more inconvenient than your countryside is that there is no well in the yard, and you need to go to the street to fetch water. "The shopkeeper Mo gave Fang Dachuan and the others enough time to think, before asking.

"Satisfied, very satisfied." Seeing the corner of Wen Yue's mouth smiling, Fang Dachuan answered shopkeeper Mo affirmatively.

Shopkeeper Mo stroked his beard and said, "It's fine if you're satisfied. If you're not satisfied, I'm really worried. I won't be able to find another shop like this."

"Uncle Mo, we have caused you trouble again, thank you very much." Fang Dachuan bowed deeply to shopkeeper Mo and thanked him sincerely.

Shopkeeper Mo accepted his gift with a smile, and said, "You're a real person. I just wanted to charge you more rent money, but you gave me such a big gift. How could I have the nerve to ask for more money?"

"Is this shop yours?" Fang Dachuan asked in a daze.

"Why, have you ever seen the owner of the house who gave the key to someone else?" Shopkeeper Mo asked back, seeing Fang Dachuan dumbfounded, he smiled and said, "Okay, I won't tell you these things are useless. There are still things to do. You can keep the key. If the house is dirty, you can clean it yourself. I will not charge less for the rent. It will be calculated at [-] Wen per month, and it will be fine at the end of the year."

After finishing speaking, he hurried out, not even having time to say goodbye to Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue, leaving the two of them staring blankly at each other.

After a while, Fang Dachuan said: "Yueniang, seven hundred wen a month seems to be a little less."

Wen Yue nodded and said: "Yes, shopkeeper Mo wants to take care of us. He is probably afraid that we will lose money, so he said that we will settle together at the end of the year. In fact, he knows that we have Zhuangzi, so it won't be too bad at all. money."

Seeing that Fang Dachuan was still acting stupid, with a sense of indebtedness on his face, Wen Yue persuaded: "Don't think too much about it. When the rent is paid at the end of the year, let's just pay more. On weekdays, what new things did we do? We will send some things to shopkeeper Mo, he treats us sincerely, and we treat him sincerely, wouldn't it be better to exchange hearts?"

Fang Dachuan nodded, and said with emotion: "We have to treat shopkeeper Mo well. He really helped us a lot. The same thing happened with the prickly heat powder last time. Shopkeeper Mo is really warm."

"So we have to work hard and make more money. Only when we are financially capable will we not let him worry about everything for us, and we can also give him some help in the future."
