Siheyuan: I can always stay out of it

Recently, Chen Xu felt like he was looking at a dead person when he saw Jia Dongxu with a dazed look on his face.

If I go to work in this state, I really don’t know when I will hear the bad news about this guy.

He also understood some of the reasons why Jia Dongxu hung himself on the wall. It was all because of his poverty.

When Chen Xu found the carpenter at the door, he was a little surprised. After all, there were not many people making furniture nowadays. If it was not necessary, he might as well use the money to buy some food. But in the past two days, he received a big order.

Prepare a set of furniture for my son's wedding.

But the two bastards who came last time almost made him so angry that he kicked them out, especially the guy with glasses who looked gentle and polite. He was such a jerk. He just wanted to take advantage of an old man like him. When he left, he even took a bag of wood ash away...

The old master had never met many people who could finger pussy like Yan Bugui in his life, so he was naturally impressed.

Facts have proved that it was a completely wrong choice for Liu Haizhong to ask Yan Bugui to go together to order furniture. Making furniture is not like buying vegetables. If you pay too little, it will be difficult to guarantee the quality.

The old master reluctantly agreed to help make the furniture because of the bad year, but it was hard to say about the materials. After all, you get what you pay for. Liu Haizhong felt that it was wise to bring Yan Bugui directly, but in fact it was hard to say who would make a profit and who would lose money.

Chen Xu directly agreed to the master's offer and had no intention of bargaining. After all, he knew nothing about carpentry and didn't know how to bargain with the master no matter what price he asked for.

It's the same as going to the hospital. The price is what they say and you have no right to bargain.

Anyway, this is the only time in my life, and there is nothing I can do even if I get cheated.

The master craftsman was very satisfied with Chen Xu's attitude and explained to him the particularities of the materials, including where the money he spent would be spent.

He also pointed to some prepared wood nearby.

"Like these, they only give you half the money, so naturally I have to use less materials. I can't lose money, right? It seems like we are from the same hospital..."

Chen Xu: ...

Guessing that it might be Liu Guangqi's furniture, he was too tired to complain now. If Liu Haizhong knew that he was shooting himself in the foot, he wondered if he would regret it.

"Master, you told me so directly, aren't you afraid that I will tell others?"

Chen Xu asked with some surprise.

"What do I have to be afraid of? You get what you pay for. This is an eternal truth. If you want to buy flour with the money you paid for bran, you're just dreaming..."

Chen Xu gave a thumbs up, thinking that the old master was right.

And there was no way he could tell anyone about it; it had nothing to do with him.

After paying the deposit readily, Chen Xu left.

Since the master craftsman takes care of everything, he doesn't have to worry too much. He can just take it back when it's done.

As for the style, the main thing is that it is sturdy and durable. You can just carve some patterns on it and paint it, there is not much to it.

The master promised to give him the best, at least several levels better than the one in your room...

Chen Xu agreed with a smile, saying, "That's good. The master is a very particular person."

In fact, there are very few cases of cutting corners in this era. After all, reputation is still very important in this period. If the reputation deteriorates, it will become difficult to support a family by relying on this business, which is naturally not cost-effective.

Yan Bugui and Liu Haizhong are exceptions. Even if they tell others, they can't say anything. After all, they do the work according to the money you pay them. What can go wrong? They can only blame themselves for their bad luck.

Sometimes it is not advisable to be greedy for small gains.

Jia Zhang was paraded through the streets for a while and was eventually sent away.

The old woman cried as if her whole family had died, but she did not dare to go against the street office. She just held her son's hand and repeatedly told him not to forget to send her food, otherwise she would really starve to death in the countryside.

Jia Dongxu agreed, feeling very bitter, but there was nothing he could do since he was the only one in the family who could earn money.

Besides, he wouldn't do anything to starve my mother to death. A pillar of the family should act like a pillar.

Yi Zhonghai was quite critical of Jia Dongxu's sending Jia Zhang away, thinking that Jia Dongxu had not fulfilled his filial duty. But Jia Dongxu did not listen to him this time, but asked his questions in a low voice.

"Master, do you want to watch my child starve to death?"

Yi Zhonghai was speechless for a long time. He knew Jia Zhang's character very well and knew that Jia Dongxu had no choice but to do so, but he habitually stood on the moral high ground to accuse others.

Looking at his disciple with a lonely face, Yi Zhonghai felt inexplicably flustered. He felt that there was some gap between him and Jia Dongxu.

"It's okay, Master is just worried that people will gossip about you, so it's better to send you away... Hey."

Yi Zhonghai immediately took back what he had said and began to comfort Jia Dongxu. After all, to him, Jia Dongxu was the most important and his mistress was nothing.

“How is everything going at the factory now?”

Yi Zhonghai decisively changed the subject, and Jia Dongxu didn't think about it any more. After all, his mother had passed away, and he had to live his life from now on, so he didn't have the time to think about anything else.

"It's OK, but the food in the factory is worse..."

Seeing that Jia Dongxu's attention had been diverted, Yi Zhonghai breathed a sigh of relief. He had nothing now. If he had any conflicts with Jia Dongxu, he would really be in trouble.

Chen Xu returned to the countryside on Saturday because Xu Damao happily told him that he would bring Lou Xiao'e back to the courtyard on Sunday, and the four of them would prepare a table of delicious food to celebrate.

As for whether it was appropriate for the two new brides to eat together, neither of them had ever thought about it. After all, Chen Xu didn't even know if there were any rules in this regard, and Xu Damao simply ignored it.

Lin Chan had no objection to going to Sijiu City. She and Chen Xu had already made it a done deal many times, so she had no reason to refuse. After all, she would still have to go to Sijiu City after getting married, so it would be better to go and see the situation earlier.

After spending a night in the countryside, Lin Chan strongly protested against Chen Xu's endless nagging. After all, she had to go back tomorrow, and it would be a bit bad if she felt listless the next day.

Smelling the charming fragrance of the soft jade in his arms, Chen Xu felt that this life was worth it. Coupled with the fatigue of the journey and the huge consumption at night, he fell asleep in a daze while hugging the familiar towering body.

Lin Chan was not asleep, and the dark bedroom could not hide her beautiful and bright eyes.

She has been wondering what Chen Xu's home would be like. She wondered what the difference was between life in the city and life in the countryside. It was a pity that she would have fewer opportunities to play with Xiao Hei in the future, and she didn't know if Xiao Hei would miss her.

Why don't you get closer to Xiao Hei before you go to the city, so that you don't get estranged when you don't see him for a long time...

Xiao Hei: ...
