A car accident, our family of three crossed

Shuisheng returned home feeling uneasy under the stares of the aunts and grannies in the village. He did not delay for long and did not even have time to eat lunch before he went to find Hang Shuheng.

He told Hang Shuheng what happened at the market, and finally mentioned that the Wan family's manager was interested in buying the blueprints.

Hang Shuheng hesitated for a moment and said, "We are not going to do a one-time deal, so we won't sell the blueprints."

Then he added: "Let's take a break for a few days and stop making this chair for now."

"You don't want to make chairs anymore? Why? We're selling them well." Shuisheng was anxious as he had finally managed to earn some extra money but now they said they didn't want to make chairs anymore.

"You also said that the chair was bought by Zhang's timber shop. I think they will be able to make a replica in a few days." Hang Shuheng patted his shoulder. "They have a lot of manpower and they are all craftsmen. You can't do it alone."

Shuisheng knew that what Hang Shuheng said was true, and he couldn't help but feel a little discouraged, "So what should we do next?"

"Young man, don't be too impatient. You need to be patient when doing things." Hang Shuheng shook his head and chuckled.

Shuisheng was suddenly embarrassed, and he tried to explain: "I wasn't like this before."

He thought that he was a very stable person in the past. He used to earn penny by penny in a down-to-earth manner. But now with the joining of Hang Shuheng, he started to earn big sums and became impatient.

In front of Hang Shuheng, he truly realized that he was also a young boy.

Sometimes Hang Shuheng looked at him with the same eyes he often looked at Mu Dun, as if all his thoughts were visible in his eyes and he could see through whatever he was thinking.

"In short, Uncle Hengzi, I will do whatever you say and I will listen to you." His brain was not as good as Uncle Hengzi's. He only had strength. He left the thinking to Uncle Hengzi and he just needed to be obedient.

"Well, if you really can't stay idle, make a chair for your great grandfather to show your filial piety to him."

As a grown boy, Shuisheng was not very familiar with the ways of the world, so he felt that Hang Shuheng's reminder was very necessary.

"Uncle Hengzi, I didn't think about these things. Fortunately, you reminded me. I will go back now." Shuisheng couldn't sit still when there was something to do, so he said goodbye to Hang Shuheng.

As soon as he came out of Hang Shuheng's study, he ran into Hang's mother in the yard, so Shuisheng simply said hello.

Hang's mother also heard about the sale of chairs at the market for thirty taels of silver. Her eyes lit up just by hearing about it.

Therefore, when Shuisheng first came to find Hang Shuheng, she stayed in the yard waiting for people to come out.

"Where's the money from selling the chairs today? Give it to me." She said with a sullen face. Thinking of how Shuisheng had used the old patriarch to scare her before, she couldn't give him a good look.

"The money has all been given to Uncle Hengzi. You can go ask him for it." Shuisheng shrugged and said cunningly, then he disappeared in a flash.

Mother Hang was a little furious. If she dared to ask Hang Shuheng for money, would she still need to go to him?

Not long after Shuisheng returned to Shangtang Village, Manager Wan of the Wanjia Woodworking Workshop in the county town asked his men to find out the village where Shuisheng was, so he had some idea in mind.

Now he just needs to wait for the other party to come to his door with the drawings. He guessed that within three days, the other party would come to him. As long as the other party took the initiative to come to him, he would be able to control the other party on the price.

But he guessed wrong. Three days passed and no one came. Two days passed and still no one came. Manager Wan could not sit still any longer. If he waited any longer, the Zhang family would have to come out with new products.

Manager Wan decided to visit the man in person. As long as he offered a high price, the country boy would be tempted. It was his fault that he did not give a clear price a few days ago. Otherwise, the man would have come to him that day, let alone three days.

Shuisheng worked for a few days and finally made the chair to be given to the old patriarch. After cleaning it, he was ready to send it to the old man.

But at this moment, an aunt from the village shouted outside his house: "Shuisheng, Shuisheng, someone is looking for you."

After the aunt brought the visitor, she was not in a hurry to leave. She kept secretly glancing at the carriage the visitor was riding in. She thought Shuisheng had really made it as all the wealthy families in the city had come to visit her.

"Okay, auntie, who's looking for me?"

"Look, there it is!" The aunt pointed towards the carriage.

Shuisheng was surprised to see a carriage parked in front of his house because he didn't know anyone in the city.

Manager Wan got off the carriage, put on a smile and walked up to Shuisheng and said, "Little brother, I've been waiting for you in the city for several days!"

Shuisheng thought the man looked familiar, but he couldn't remember who he was. However, based on what he said, he had some guesses in his mind, "Who are you? The manager of the Wan family?"

The smile on Manager Wan's face froze when he heard this. It turned out that he didn't recognize him. He cleared his throat to hide his embarrassment and said, "Let's go in and talk!"

After saying that, he walked straight into the yard without waiting for Shuisheng's consent.

Shuisheng had no choice but to follow him in. Seeing him sitting in the main room with a noble manner, Shuisheng poured him a bowl of water out of courtesy.

Manager Wan glanced at it. As a manager, even if he was a servant of a wealthy family, his daily life was not comparable to that of the people in the countryside. Naturally, he looked down on this bowl of plain water which was so shabby that it couldn't be shabbier.

But he didn't say anything, and the other party didn't say anything either, which made him lose his composure. He thought that this country bumpkin was too tactless.

The other party didn't say anything, so he could only take the initiative to speak: "Little brother, what do you think about what we agreed on before?"

What did they agree on? Shuisheng didn't remember what they agreed on.

"Butler Wan, what do you mean?"

Manager Wan's face darkened instantly. What was wrong with this guy? He had taken the initiative to talk, but he was still so rude. He was indeed an ignorant peasant.

He stopped keeping the secret and got straight to the point, "We agreed before that our Wanjia Woodworking Workshop is interested in buying the blueprints you have. I've been waiting for you in the county town for several days."

"You mean the blueprint?" Shuisheng suddenly realized, "I don't have any blueprints. The products I make are all the things I come up with in my mind."

"What? You don't have the blueprint?" Manager Wan stood up excitedly, "How is that possible? How can you make a chair like that without the blueprint?"

"You know, as a craftsman, practice makes perfect. The more you do the work, the easier it will become."

"Why didn't you tell me before you had the blueprints?" He came all this way to come here, so it must have been a wasted trip.

"But I didn't say I had the drawings." Shuisheng pretended to be confused even though he knew the truth. He really didn't say he had the drawings. What's more, Uncle Hengzi said that the drawings could not be sold, so he naturally couldn't say that he had the drawings.

Manager Wan thought about it and realized that he had not explicitly said that he had the blueprints. "You country bumpkin, you can't even speak clearly. Humph, I am so angry!"

He had already lowered his status by making this trip today, and it turned out that the matter of the blueprint was just his wishful thinking. He left in anger.
