Rebirth: Don't Be the Best

On this day, there was a news in the town that the young master of Mr. Wang's family had died, and his wife looked so pitiful to help him with her stomach stretched out.

Because of the combination of horoscopes last time, basically everyone knows about Young Master Wang.I thought I couldn't close it, but I didn't expect to even have a child.

Everyone guessed that when the Wang family got married, they were afraid that they would lose their luck if they got married, so they did it quietly.

This Wang family is very lucky, although Chongxi failed to make a good son, but brought the grandson here, and finally they will not be extinct.It's a pity that his old lady has been bedridden because of her son's death, she can't see anyone, and she can't even take care of the funeral.

For a while, everyone was talking about this matter. Some said that the young daughter-in-law was lucky. At that time, she got 100 taels of horoscopes. Now she has a golden baby in her stomach.

It is also said that she became a widow at a very young age, and that the life of a woman with a child will be difficult.

Zhang Shu also heard the news by accident.Hearing it at first, he still thought that this young master Wang could endure it, and he died after three or four months, so what kind of rotten body is he?

But when he found out that Wu Liniang was pregnant, he became a little suspicious again. Let alone the young master Wang made people pregnant, even human nature couldn't do it. You must know that it was his thing that rotted in the first place.

How did Wu Liniang get pregnant?Did she steal someone?

Zhang Shu shook his head in his heart, no, Mr. Wang and Mrs. Wang should know about their son's situation, it doesn't make sense that a big girl who didn't even have a consummated house suddenly became pregnant and they are still holding on to it.

Thinking about it, the person who made her pregnant must be within the range that everyone can accept. Thinking about the fact that Mrs. Wang has never seen anyone since her son died, Zhang Shu instantly understood that the person who made Wu Liniang pregnant must be that person. Lord Wang!

I don't know if this is the beastly behavior of Mr. Wang or Wu Liniang's deliberate seduction. The most pitiful thing at this time is Mrs. Wang. The son is dead, the daughter-in-law and her husband have sex, and the agreed grandson has become a bastard. I was also locked up...

Zhang Shu put this behind him in a blink of an eye, he was already an irrelevant person, why would he want to do so much, anyway, she couldn't harm herself, but if she dared to harm herself, then he would not be polite.

Even if the Wang family's family has a big business, he will not be afraid. Those jewels on the mountain are his last retreat.As the saying goes, money can make ghosts turn millstones.It is also said that money can make Motui ghosts.This sentence sums up the importance of money in one word.

But he didn't want to get so much money out of nowhere, because he would be renounced when he had money.Now his grandma can protect him from being bullied by his second uncle because the two families are not much different from each other.If he suddenly had tens of thousands of taels and treated his second uncle and aunt in the current way, he didn't know if his grandparents would feel resentful.

However, in the eyes of everyone, it is a matter of course for the rich to subsidize the poor. If you are rich and do not help poor relatives, it is unconscionable.

Therefore, he will not move this money for the time being.Unless it's a critical moment and you have to move.

Recently, people in the village are busy with spring plowing, and they don't even pay attention to the Lantern Festival.Every household is raising seedlings, and some people have opened up the front and back yards. Anyway, spring potatoes or autumn potatoes are good crops regardless of the location.

Some people also opened up that kind of wasteland in the corners.Spring potatoes are already more valuable than autumn potatoes, and the price has increased a bit, so how can people not be tempted?Moreover, the Zhang family said that a workshop will be set up when the spring potatoes are planted, and then everyone will follow suit.

Zhang Shu's family is also developing land recently, but the family's self-planted land is relatively small, and it was completed within two days.He didn't plan to take back the land he rented out, since there was no one at home anyway.

In addition to opening up land, Zhang Shu also wanted to expand his home. Although the front yard was big enough, it would be a bit crowded if he really wanted to open a workshop.

The backyard of their house is smaller than the front yard, but there is still a large open space behind it. This is the land of the village, but because it is located behind Zhang Shu and Laiwang's house, everyone thinks it is good Fengshui. , so no one buys land and houses here.

Zhang Shu went to the village to discuss with the village chief, and finally agreed to buy the land with 15 taels of silver.There are few people in their field, and the land is relatively cheap, but this is only for the rich. Where can the poor go to collect the 15 taels, and they have to build houses.

The title deed of this land is with the village head, and it has been released for many years, but the title deed alone is useless, and it has to be stamped at the county government.So Zhang Shu went back to drive the ox cart, and went to the county town with the village head.

On the way, the village chief asked Zhang Shu, "Did you bring any money?"

Zhang Shu nodded, and when he went out, Li Mujin stuffed him with a money bag.

The village head nodded, "That's good, otherwise I don't know when I will get the seal." This is how the yamen works, everything is procrastinated, and a simple thing will be complicated, of course, Once the money is in place, these things are easy to handle.

The ox cart wobbled all the way to the county seat, Zhang Shu drove the ox cart near the county government office without the village chief's guidance.The second child in the previous life had spent some days in prison, so he would visit him every few days.

In order not to let him suffer, he deliberately inquired about the preferences of those yamen servants according to the old fifth's statement. Unfortunately, most of these yamen servants are their parents now, and it is useless to inquire about them.

At this moment, a servant of the county government gatekeeper came over and asked him what he wanted, and if he wanted someone to watch the ox cart for five cents for an hour.

Zhang Shu nodded, took out five Wen coins and handed them over.It’s impossible not to show it. In his previous life, he let the children of the family watch outside, but he wasted two or three hours and couldn’t get in. Only then did he know that even a doorman in the county government has something to do with it. To embarrass you, an ordinary person, is just a matter of one sentence.

The servant didn't embarrass them when he took the copper coin. It's really rare that this kind of countryman pays the money so readily.

Zhang Shu and the village head waited at the door for a while, and the porter announced that they could enter before entering.Households in the yamen are in charge of land, household registration, taxation, finance and many other things, and they are also the people who deal with the village chiefs the most.

As soon as he entered, the clerk sitting in the household said, "Old Ann, how come you have time to come here?"

"Qian Wenshu, this is a young man in our village. He wants to buy the land behind his house to build a house. If not, I'll bring him here to get a seal."

"Oh, this matter..." Qian Wenshu dragged his voice, and the meaning in it was self-evident.

Under the sign of the village chief, Zhang Shu shielded and handed over a dime of silver, about a penny.

Qian Wenshu looked at the white corner and felt happy. Like them, although there is oil and water to eat, most people only give twenty or thirty yuan, not every day.

He took the silver handed over by Zhang Shu, put it into his arms calmly, and then said with a smile, "This matter is also easy to handle. I will go to the county magistrate to stamp it. You sit here for a while."

The village head also saw the piece of silver, and after the document left, he quietly said to Zhang Shu, "You are very willing, do you know what my brother-in-law who collects grain at the grain station told me? Working in the yamen, one penny Those that can’t be sold will be delayed for two to three days, and those that are less than ten yuan will be completed in two days, those that are twenty or thirty yuan will be delayed for a few hours, and those that are higher will be completed immediately.”

Although Zhang Shu knows that they usually do things for money, this is the first time he has heard such a detailed inside story.Sure enough, money is easy to do.

After a while, Qian Wenshu came back, and a big official seal was stamped on the land deed, which also meant that the land belonged to Zhang Shu.

"You guys came just in time, the magistrate happened to be in the county government office." Everyone knew that it was because of the money, or else he must have gone out, and the date of return was undecided.

After exchanging a few words with Qian Wenshu, Zhang Shu and the village head left.Zhang Shu drove the cattle and took the village head to the Lin's Inn for dinner. He ordered an ant climbing a tree, a vermicelli stew, and a small stir-fried meat and green vegetables, which was about the same.

The two didn't ask for wine, and each of them ate a large bowl of rice with these dishes. In the end, the four dishes were eaten by the two of them. .

The village chief wiped his mouth with satisfaction, then drank the tea.

Zhang Shu went to the counter to pay the bill. Lin Shuanghe kept saying that he would not accept it, but Zhang Shu insisted on paying, so he charged the cost price, and would not accept any more.

Because of the only income, Lin's Inn can rank among these inns in the county. Not only do more people come to eat every day, but even more people stay in the inn.For this, Lin Shuanghe is still very grateful to Zhang Shu.

Zhang Shu asked the village chief to stay in the store for a while, he was going to the brick kiln, and he was not allowed to buy bricks for building a house?Make an order today, and come back in a few days.Otherwise, if you come over suddenly, they won't have any extra goods to sell to you.

The owner of the brick kiln didn't recognize Zhang Shu for a while, until Zhang Shu mentioned the shopkeeper Yan of the Nantong Grocery Store, and he suddenly realized.

This Boss Hu looked Zhang Shu up and down, "My little brother is amazing, he made a fortune so quickly. Tell me, how many bricks do you want, and I, Hu, will definitely prepare them for you!"

Looking at this hearty Boss Hu, Zhang Shu couldn't help but think of the hearty Boss Hu——Hu Caiwang, isn't it true that most people surnamed Hu are informal?

Zhang Shu mentioned it casually, and he really found a relationship with his family by this rambling, because this father's name is Hu Caijie, and he is the same generation as Boss Hu.

Zhang Shu doesn't quite know how many bricks are needed to build two rooms and a ten-meter-long wall, but the boss Hu who runs this business is very clear, "Brother, if you trust me, you can order first." About 4000 yuan, can you remove some bricks from the old fence of your house? I think these are enough.”

Zhang Shu thinks so, anyway, it doesn’t matter if you buy too much, and you can use it in the future.When I bought these bricks last time, I knew they were worth two taels of silver, and Zhang Shu took out a deposit of two taels of silver, ready to pay.

Boss Hu first said that they don’t need so much. Their rule is that the more you buy, the cheaper it is. Generally speaking, within 1000 yuan is two pennies, within 2000 yuan is nine yuan, 3000 yuan is one penny, and 4000 yuan Yuan is one penny seven, anyway, the minimum is one penny five.

According to Zhang Shu's purchase, he only needs to pay one penny and one brick.

Boss Hu can completely fool someone like Zhang Shu who doesn't know the market, but he thinks that Zhang Shu looks like a rich man.

After Zhang Shu calculated, it used to cost a little more than ten taels, but now it only costs more than eight taels, and it is more than one and a half taels cheaper, almost two taels, which is for nothing.

Zhang Shu thanked Boss Hu, paid a deposit of more than one tael, drove the ox cart to pick up the village chief, and went back.

He has to start preparing for the expansion of the yard. When he goes back, he must ask his grandma to look through the old calendar to find a suitable day to break ground.

After returning home, Li Mujin greeted him, seeing Zhang Shu's happy face, he knew it was done.

Sure enough, Zhang Shu was very happy to tell him the story, and then took out the money bag that had shrunk by more than half and returned it to Li Mujin.

The money for buying land and bricks is almost one-third of the money earned last time, and there will be labor and so on. According to Zhang Shu's estimation, the expansion of this yard will cost at least three or forty taels of silver.

But it’s nothing, what’s lost must be gained, and the current investment is to make more money in the future.

In a few days, the river will be reopened. This time, Zhang Shu wants to discuss with Hu Caiwang, see if he can take a boat to Nanhai County to see the market, and find a market for his dried vermicelli. of.
