After he and his mother-in-law separated, he built a house and stocked a warehouse full of grain and

After Fan Jin heard Shui Qing's idea, his first reaction was that it was feasible.

He praised: "Shui Qing, you react so quickly! Why didn't I think of that?"

Shui Qing wanted to be humble, but she felt happy after being praised.

"It happens that the sale of Polygonum multiflorum will stop tomorrow. I'll go to the bookstore and ask." Fan Jin said immediately.

Shui Qing agreed: "Since the quality is good, the price should not be too low."

"Then how many should I bring? There is always a bookstore that can negotiate. I thought I could buy a batch first."

Shui Qing is now eager to cash out some of the money in the mall.

The weather is getting cooler. It rarely snows in Shanshui Village in winter, but it will happen this year.

Besides, even if it doesn't snow, the temperature can reach freezing. If you expect to live in a thatched house that is hot in the summer and cold in the winter, you will suffer a lot.

"Bring fifty pieces each for large, medium and small?" The wholesale price of 150 brushes is only 135 yuan, which is so cheap that it seems like a free gift.

Shui Qing also doubted, could this really make money?

Then he strongly rejected this idea, it must be possible to make money.

Fan Jin responded: "Okay, I'll just say it's my wife's craftsmanship. If we can achieve long-term supply, we can deliver the goods every seven days, with one hundred large, medium and small pieces each. How about that?"

Shui Qing did a quick calculation. If each brush cost 130 taels on average, three hundred brushes would be 39 taels!

She looked at Fan Jin excitedly, and saw the latter smile knowingly, and said softly: "Seven days and 39 taels, maybe we can build a brick courtyard next month."

After all, you can have 150 six taels of silver a month.

Suddenly I had enough money to build a house, and Shui Qing felt so excited.

"Okay, you go tomorrow. By the way, the ox cart is rented, right? If you have money tomorrow, you can buy a cow by the way."

"Buy a cow?" Fan Jin thought he heard wrongly. Wasn't he talking about selling brushes to build a house? Why did he mention buying a cow?

"Yes, you see, we have to carry rice back every day, several hundred kilograms at a time. How can we do it without an ox cart?

Renting an oxcart every day is not only troublesome but also expensive. It is better to buy a cow yourself.

It will be convenient to go out in the future. If nothing else, I will go to Niutou Town for the market the day after tomorrow. I just want to visit my parents and brothers. Who will take the things I brought?

The three older babies are fine, but if the little one cannot walk, who will carry her? "Shui Qing's detailed analysis.

Living in a rural area, especially in a place where you have to walk on your legs and carry things manually, having an ox cart is a great thing.

If there is a flood or drought in the back, it will be convenient for transporting people and luggage.

Fan Jin didn't need to be persuaded at all and agreed directly: "Okay, I will go and see it tomorrow. I estimate that a cow will cost twelve or thirty taels of silver, and a cart will cost about one tael of silver."

We must negotiate a good price for the 150 brushes tomorrow.

There was a noise in Shanshui Village early in the morning.

"Old village chief, Baldy Zhang doesn't do human affairs! You have to take care of him!"

"He insisted on causing trouble yesterday, but people didn't want to accept his things. Now he's fine. If he can't change it himself, we won't be able to change it either!"

The old village chief frowned deeply and listened carefully to the villagers' words and complaints.

Li Changlin understood what he was listening to and concluded: "You mean Zhang Baldy picked the chicken rice crackers without taking them home at all, and threw them directly into the lake and pond?"

The villager nodded quickly, "Yes, that's right, there are only a few people in his family. If there are too many, they can't be peeled off. It will take time for him to take them back and weigh them, and go back and forth."

My youngest son saw it and he just picked it and threw it away! "

"This is to prevent us all from having to change."

"He is usually very lazy, but now he is very diligent in doing things that harm others and not benefit himself!"

Li Changlin looked at his grandfather, how to deal with such a matter?

"Where is Bald Zhang?" the old village chief raised his eyes and asked.

"The escort is here. My boss is keeping him outside the yard."

"Bring it in."

Zhang Baldzi was pressed down by several big men. He staggered in and shouted: "What the hell, you are allowed to pick it, but I am not allowed to pick it, right?"

"Hey, I can't change rice, and I can't pick chicken rice crackers? They are naturally raised, and you didn't grow them, so why don't I pick them?"

One woman was not convinced and said, "Tell me, are you picking? You are wasting food!"

Zhang Baldzi frowned and refused to admit his mistake: "It's not your thing. I can pick it as I want. You can't control it!"

Anyway, if he can't exchange it for rice, they can't even think about it.

The old village chief looked straight at Zhang Baldy, but did not speak for a long time.

Zhang Baldzi felt frightened when he was stared at, but he remained strong-willed. He waited for the old village chief to negotiate terms with him.

What could they do to him since he was picking things from the wild anyway?

"Aren't you worried that people in the village will have nothing to eat and they will come to your house to ask for food?"

"What are you afraid of? Is there anyone in the village who is poorer than my family? Come to my house and ask for food. Ha, if they can find it then, they are awesome!" He is barefoot anyway, so he is not afraid of them who wear shoes.

Let's see what they can do to him!

"Then when you are old and have no food to eat, you are not afraid that no one will lend you money?"

Bald Zhang was stunned.

He borrowed grain for several months a year, borrowing a little from his employer and a little from his employer, and returned it after the grain was harvested.

Thinking of Fan Damu and Fan Qian's guarantees, he gritted his teeth and shouted: "I can't control that much! If you don't let me have a good time, then no one can have a good time!"

Zhang Tuzi's shameless words completely angered everyone.

A series of curses broke out from the crowd.

Zhang Baldzi looked like a rogue who was confident that nothing could be done to him.

The old village chief stretched out his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. After the crowd calmed down, he stared at Zhang Baldy and said sharply: "You are lazy and vicious by nature. You are running rampant in the village and ignore other people's money. Now the whole village agrees to expel you from the village." ;

If you reform abroad, you will still be allowed to be escorted back to the village by your relatives. If you do not reform, you will not be allowed to return to the village for burial after your death;

How about this punishment? "

Being driven out of the village is a very big deal!

With no land, no land, and no skills, all they could do was starve to death.

After death, you may not be able to return to the village for burial, and you will not be able to return to your roots. This is more terrifying than being kicked out of the village!

The crowd inside and outside the courtyard was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

Zhang Baldy's eyes widened and he looked at the old village chief in disbelief, and then at the people around him.

Immediately, he burst into tears and wailed, "Old village chief, I know I was wrong! You can't drive me out of the village."

Outside the yard, the bald mother-in-law and her children rushed in, knelt down in front of the old village chief, and begged with tears and runny noses: "Old village chief, the head of the family can't leave. Without us, we orphans and widows can't live anymore." .”

"Daddy, I don't want daddy to leave."

The old village chief lowered his eyebrows and said calmly: "Don't beg me, beg other people in the village. If everyone agrees not to drive him away, they will naturally not drive him out of the village."

Zhang Tuzi came to his senses and quickly knelt down and begged everyone one by one, promising never to do anything harmful again.

The villagers had seen Zhang Baldy's arrogance and wanted to kill him before, but now they saw him crying with tears and runny nose. They were disgusted and couldn't harden their hearts any longer.

"Old village chief, why don't you give Baldy Zhang a chance first? If he is still lazy and greedy later on, we will expel him from the village!"

"Look at his performance later."

Zhang Tuzi only felt that the gains outweighed the losses. He had been tired all night, offended most people, and was almost expelled from the village. The last benefit was lost.

It was all instigated by Fan Damu and Fan Qian, and he wanted to settle accounts with them.

Damn it, what the hell, it tricked Zhang Baldy, and he couldn't make it easy for them!
