Traversing the good life of a peasant woman

Chapter 89

Following shopkeeper Mo's instructions, Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan stood at the door of Zhou Ji's grocery store, watching the people coming and going at the door of the store, Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan raised their legs and stepped in.After entering the store, Wen Yue looked around and laughed angrily. The Fourth Aunt Sun and Dong Jin'e are really amazing. All the exclusive products in their store are included in this week's diary.

When I asked about the price, it was about three yuan more expensive than in their store, and the customers who came and went to the store mostly bought vermicelli, vermicelli, and some southern special dried vegetables specially provided by Zhu's in their store.Needless to say, these items must have been marked at an unacceptable price in her own store.

After knowing it well, Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan published a weekly diary. Fang Dachuan felt a little lonely, "Yue Niang, why do you think this happened? We have never treated Aunt Sun and his family badly. How could they do such a thing?" Come? What benefit did Zhou Ji give them, making them completely ignore the friendship between our two families over the years."

Wen Yue smiled bitterly, she couldn't figure it out, is money so touching?It's really a pity that the back figure that has always been clear in her heart is so slightly blurred.

In this way, the two of them arrived at the door of their shop with a heavy heart. In the deserted shop, Aunt Sun was cleaning there with her head down. Dong Jin'e lay lazily on the counter and licked melon seeds, "Mother, just wipe it off." Anyway, Fang Dachuan doesn't know how to look at these places, he will leave after taking the money, and he can deal with it, so why bother himself."

Fourth Aunt Sun continued to work without saying a word, but her subordinates worked harder wherever they went.

"Auntie", Wen Yue thought and thought at the door, and finally called Aunt Sun Fourth Auntie.

Fourth Aunt Sun turned around and saw that it was Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan. The expression on her face suddenly became a little unnatural. Dong Jin'e at the counter said "Yo" and greeted her very enthusiastically: "Brother Dachuan, Yueniang Sister, are you here? My mother and I have been waiting for you early in the morning, so we are expecting you to come."

"Dachuan, Yueniang!" Fourth Aunt Sun stood far away, the rag in her hand had been twisted into a ball, it could be seen that she was very nervous.

Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan entered the store, and after finding a place to sit down, Dong Jin'e took out the money box and account book from the counter, "Sister Yue Niang, I have already sorted out this month's income, Just waiting for you to check."

She carefully observed the faces of Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue, seeing that the two of them were not smiling as usual, she felt a little uneasy in her heart, and carefully placed the account book and money box next to Wen Yue. On the table, standing on one side, his eyeballs were chattering non-stop.

Wen Yue glanced at the account book, rummaged through it twice, and said casually, "How is the business recently? I don't think there is anyone in our store. Is there something wrong?" Wen Yue put the account book away as she spoke. On the side, he looked at the fourth aunt, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law inexplicably.

Being looked at by Wen Yue with a half-smile, Fang Dachuan's expression was so gloomy again, and the guilty Aunt Sun's face turned pale immediately, and her breathing also became short of breath. Dong Jin'e was afraid that Aunt Sun would show her flaws, so she hurriedly stepped forward to exaggerate He said loudly: "No, our family's business is going well. Is it because my handwriting is ugly, Yueniang, can't you read what I wrote? Just before you came, you just went shopping."

"Really?" Wen Yue raised her eyebrows and looked at Dong Jin'e mockingly.

Dong Jin'e's heart jumped a few times, and she kept hinting to herself, "They won't find out, they won't find out, don't scare yourself."

"Yes." Dong Jin'e said firmly after having done enough psychological construction.

Wen Yue put her eyes on Aunt Sun who had her head down all the time, sighed and said, "Auntie, I'll give you a chance. Tell me what happened in this store these days?"

"Me!" Aunt Sun raised her head, looked at Wen Yue and Dong Jin'e, lowered her head again, and finally said nothing.

Wen Yue couldn't help being a little disappointed, she turned her eyes to the door, and said quietly: "Auntie, you know what happened to me back then, since I lost my memory, the first person to remember is not my mother, nor me Grandma, it’s not my man, but you. I will always remember when I woke up from a coma, the back figure that argued for me with a dozen women in Zhoujia Village. When we were bullied, you My protection. It is because of this that I have always been grateful to you, and I want to be so close to you for the rest of my life. "

"Yue Niang!" Fourth Aunt Sun raised her head tremblingly, and called out guiltily.

Wen Yue turned her head to meet her, shook her head with a wry smile, and said, "But Auntie, I really didn't expect the fate of our two families to end in this way. I don't even know why I asked you to work in my shop. Right or wrong."

"Yueniang, aunt... Fourth Aunt Sun was ashamed by Wen Yue's words. Just as she was about to admit her mistake, Dong Jin'e yelled and interrupted: "I said Wen Yueniang, what do you mean?You mean what did we do to make you sorry, right?Oh, don't think that we have to be grateful to you because you let my mother-in-law come to work in the store. We also work hard. We earn hard money, not for nothing.If you say that, we really don't care about working with you, bah, what the hell.

It's really good intentions that are not rewarded, and they turned the shit pot upside down for us. Don't think that you can bully us now that you have two dollars, we quit.Mother, let's go. "After she finished speaking impassionedly, she pulled Aunt Sun and walked out.

Dong Jin'e also understood that what she did was exposed at this time, so what are you waiting for if you don't leave at this time, I just hope that this passage and her fierce performance can delay for some time, as long as they walk out of this shop, everything will be fine.

Fourth Aunt Sun was pulled by her and walked out while looking back at Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan with a very painful expression.Fang Dachuan stood up abruptly, and shouted loudly: "Who told you to leave? Have you made it clear? Are you going to leave?"

Fang Dachuan couldn't do what she wanted, and stood at the door first, blocking Dong Jin'e's road. Dong Jin'e saw that he couldn't go, and shouted loudly with his hands on his hips: "What are you doing, what are you doing, bullying people, you want to kidnap what?"

"Dong Jin'e, you don't need to shout, you don't need to shout, you know what you have done, I just want to ask, how much benefit did you get from their Zhou family, let you abandon the friendship between our two families so easily I just want to know how much the friendship between our two families has been worth for decades." Wen Yue didn't look at Dong Jin'e either. As for her, Wen Yue didn't bother to talk to her at all. She was asking Aunt Sun .

Fourth Aunt Sun finally couldn't bear the condemnation of her conscience, sobbed, "Yue Niang, Auntie was also confused for a while, so she did such a shameless thing, Auntie really has no shame to see you."

Finally hearing Fourth Aunt Sun's confession, Wen Yue felt even more uncomfortable. She really wanted to hear Fourth Aunt Sun say that this was not her idea, but because her daughter-in-law pushed her hard and she couldn't do it.But now fourth aunt sun's words clearly told her that she was also involved in doing such a nasty thing.

"Mom, why are you crying? What's the matter, isn't it just selling our things to the Zhou family? What's the matter after selling, we didn't lose a penny, which one is not sold at the normal price? Whoever sells is not sold, It’s fine if you have a lot of money, what’s the matter, which royal law has this violated?” Xu Shi was too flustered, Dong Jin’e’s voice at this time was like a duck whose throat was choked, and Fang Dachuan, who had been expressionless all the time, was also shocked. Can't help frowning.

Wen Yue was not annoyed, and said lightly: "Whether there is any loss or not is up to me. Besides, if you didn't do the bad thing, why did you run away? I just want to ask you, how much money Zhou Ji has received, I know." The exact number can be told to my mother when I go back, so that she can see it clearly."

"Two taels of silver!" Fourth Aunt Sun whispered.

"Heh!" Wen Yue burst out laughing, she shook her head, waved her hand again and said, "Let's go, if you leave this gate, our two families will be settled. From then on, the bridge will return to the bridge, and the road will return to the road." , for the sake of past love, I will not pursue your mistakes, so I can do it myself."

"Yue Niang!" Fourth Aunt Sun wanted to say something, but Dong Jin'e forcefully pulled her out of the door, "Mother, what are you talking about, don't hurry up, I'm really waiting for them to report to the police and arrest them!"

After dismissing Fourth Aunt Sun's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, Wen Yue was silent for a while, then asked Fang Dachuan, "Are you all right, Dachuan?"

Fang Dachuan shook his head and said, "It's okay, what can I do, I just feel disappointed."

"Okay, just use money to see people's hearts clearly. Anyway, we don't have much loss. I just saw Dong Jin'e's unrepentant appearance. I really want to sue the officials and treat them well. But when I think of grandma's death At that time, Fourth Aunt Sun’s sad look, oh! Forget it, I’ll just pretend that I don’t know each other from now on.” Wen Yue was angry when she thought of Dong Jin’e’s rampant appearance just now, but after all, she was still a soft-hearted person, and she didn’t want to make matters worse. After making a big fuss, and thinking about Li Shi and the deceased Zhao Shi, he stopped thinking.

Zhou Qingtan's life in the past month has been quite good. Since he used some money to dump this batch of goods from Wen Ji's shop, although the profit from flipping the hands is not very high, it cannot be the only one in the town. Really made a lot of money.I really don't know where this Wenji shop came from to have a relationship with the Zhu family. He asked people to spend money so much, but he couldn't get in touch with a steward of the Zhu family, so that Wenji took the lead.

But he is still smart enough to come up with such a trick. Look at the customers coming and going in his shop now. It won't be long before his place becomes the largest grocery store in Luoshui Town.It's just a pity that several big restaurants in the town have signed supply agreements with Wen Ji, so he can't grab this business and has lost a lot.I don't know who the boss of Wen Ji is behind the scenes. This business has been calculated for him to the bone, and he has to learn these tricks carefully.

Just when he was dreaming of getting rich and seeing every ingot of silver flying into his pocket, he suddenly heard someone shouting at the door: "Who is the boss, come out."

Zhou Qingtan came out looking for the sound, and when he saw who the person was at the door, his heart skipped a beat. He would never forget this face for the rest of his life.I think it was because of him that he couldn't get out of bed for three days after being beaten, and the nightmare-like memories flooded in, and he felt sore all over his body.

"You, how did you find me? I have listened to your words, and I have never appeared in Zhoujiabao again." The first sentence he opened his mouth was not to ask Fang Dachuan why he was looking for him, but was eager to get rid of it. Own.

Fang Dachuan took a closer look, and it really wasn't that enemies didn't get together. Unexpectedly, Zhou Ji's boss turned out to be the little hooligan who was beaten and rolled all over the floor by him. In addition to today's incident, Fang Dachuan didn't have a good impression of him. up.

"Zhou Qingtan, you used your money to buy off the shop assistants in my shop. You bought from my house at a low price and then took them out at a higher price. It’s nearly double the price. You deliberately raised the price for your own self-interest, which hurt the interests of the villagers. How could you do such a despicable thing? Paper can’t contain fire, you think I will never Find?"

Fang Dachuan didn't have the heart to talk nonsense with him, the couple had just agreed to come to his shop and announce it loudly, explaining what happened clearly. After all, in this era, even if it is justified, it will be scrapped by the yamen It's better to get rid of the two layers of skin, and it's better to solve it privately than through an official.

As long as we let everyone know the reason, we only need to publicize it a little later, and the influence brought by this month will soon disappear. After all, these things are still exclusively sold by their family, and it is just because of my negligence that I was taken advantage of.I'm afraid this week Qingtan also figured it out, and has no plan to make this kind of money for a long time, otherwise why doesn't he buy a lot of each item?

Fang Dachuan's way of declaring loudly on the road really worked. The power of gossip is great. After some people understand what happened, apart from expressing contempt and dissatisfaction with Zhou Ji's, it just pulls more people. Send the message around.Seeing more and more people gathered around, Fang Dachuan clasped his fists and said:

"Everyone, this incident was all caused by my poor employment, which caused my friends to spend a lot of money for no reason. From today on, all goods in Wenji store will maintain their original prices. In order to make up for everyone's losses, we will also In order to express my apologies, I am here to announce to everyone that starting from the beginning of next month, Wenji Grocery Store will conduct a profit sharing activity.

No matter what kind of goods you buy in my shop, as long as you buy more than three catties at one time, you will get an extra catty of vermicelli from us for seven days. After seven days, everything will return to normal.I also hope that all the folks can publicize what I heard today to your relatives and friends. Fang Mou thanked everyone here. "

The method Fang Dachuan mentioned was of course Wen Yue's idea, although this matter seemed to be that Zhou Ji was not a good person, and he made a profit from it.But after all, in everyone's mind, Wen's has raised prices, and some people think that Wen's reputation will not be very good.If you want to reverse this situation in the shortest time, how can you do it without some extraordinary measures?Discounts and promotions have always been the simplest and most effective way, so when is it not necessary?

As soon as Fang Dachuan's words fell, many people around took the lead in applauding, and a few who liked to make noise shouted "OK" on the side.Fang Dachuan thanked Yiyi with a smile, and then said to Zhou Qingtan: "Boss Zhou, I think you should not do this kind of harm to others. You should be honest. Boss Zhou, should you return the goods that were stolen from Domen's store by improper means?"

Zhou Qingtan never expected that Fang Dachuan was Wen Ji's boss, and he never expected that Fang Dachuan would expose this matter to everyone's attention, leaving him no leeway.Because he was startled by Fang Dachuan's face at first, he failed to stop Fang Dachuan's disturbance at his door in time, and now it is too late to stop it.

Seeing these people pointing at him and looking down on him, he knew that his shop was over, and his good days were really over this time.If it's just a general business competition, it's fine, it won't have much impact on him, but Fang Dachuan has always emphasized that it is because of him that people spend a lot of money when buying these things, and what the common people hate most is to hate People who make them spend more money.

This time, Zhou Ji's reputation is rotten, and I'm afraid it will never be restored.Zhou Qingtan hated Fang Dachuan's cruelty, and when he was thinking about finding a way to save the situation, he heard Fang Dachuan tell him to return all the remaining goods.It's okay, it's too deceiving, "Boss Fang, your request is a bit over the top, I admit that my method is not fair, but you have no reason to ask me to return the goods, it's all my fault." Bought for money."

Fang Dachuan sneered, and said: "Zhou Qingtan, if the other party was someone else in today's matter, I would have to go through the government if I wanted to get the goods back. But what should I do? You are the one who made trouble with me, Zhou Qingtan, you Could it be that you have forgotten that there are other entanglements between me and you, if you don't want me to lose my mind because of anger and say something that can't be dealt with, you'd better do what I say. "

When Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue came, they just wanted to make Wenji's grocery store come into everyone's sight again through the quarrel at the door, explain the twists and turns in the middle, and turn the situation back.But for those goods, the two of them really didn't think about taking them back. Although they had a reason, if Zhou Ji refused to give them, there was nothing they could do.Going to the government is a way they don't think about at all.

Scholars, farmers, workers, merchants, the merchants are the lightest, and the merchants are the richest.Those gentlemen who live on government food wish that businessmen like them would go to court more. As for the verdict, of course, whoever pays the most money will win.Wen Yue and Fang Dachuan didn't want to give money to those corrupt officials, they would make those people cheaper for nothing, and they could still afford this loss.

Fang Dachuan's threat really worked. Zhou Qingtan suddenly thought of the secrets he said there because he was too proud when he wanted to take advantage of Wen Yue, but Fang Dachuan still remembered it.He gave Fang Dachuan a bitter look, and finally he could only lower his head and say, "Tomorrow, I will tidy up and return home." After speaking, he turned around and entered the shop, and told the shop assistant to close the shop door, and stop listening to people outside. talk.

After getting the desired result from Zhou Ji, Fang Dachuan and Wen Yue went to shopkeeper Mo non-stop, asking him to help find two reliable buddies. He was still reluctant to run to the town.He wasn't good enough for business, he would be suffocated to death every day in the shop, he would rather work in the fields every day.
