18. Chapter 18 Planning to open a shop together



Wang Lin ran out and expressed disappointment when she didn't see Su Yun.

"Aunt Su, why didn't Yun'er come?"

"I'm learning embroidery at home. You can go out and play together after the weather clears up in two days!" Liu Xia squatted down and touched Wang Lin's head.

Wang Lin smiled sweetly, "Okay!"

Wang Erniu looked up and asked, "Are you here to buy meat, sister?"

"Yes, I wonder what kind of meat Brother Erniu has at home?"

"You came at the right time. There are only some pheasants and rabbits left at home. I'm afraid we will have to go to town to buy some next time!" Wang Erniu washed his hands and wiped them on his shirt, leaving blurry wet handprints.

Liu Xia asked, "What's wrong?"

"Yesterday I went hunting in the mountains and encountered a wolf that had strayed from its pack. Its claws left bloody scratches on my wrists. Xiaolin saw that I was injured and she said she would never let me go hunting again. I was thinking that Xiaolin had been without a mother since she was born, and what would happen to her as a little girl if I was gone?" Wang Erniu pulled up his sleeves, revealing three hideous scratches on his wrists.

"I've long advised you not to work so hard. It's great that you can think it through now. Just for Xiaolin, you have to find a stable job."

Liu Xia nodded and put her arm around Wang Lin.

Wang Lin felt warm in her heart. Yun'er was a little fairy and Yun'er's mother was a big fairy. The two of them were the few sources of warmth she felt.

She rested her head lightly against Liu Xia, imagining whether her mother would hug her like this if she were still alive.

Su Bing looked at Liu Xia eagerly, then opened his peach blossom eyes wide and glared at Wang Lin.

But this look is not only not lethal, but also makes people feel that it is easy to bully.

Wang Lin pulled Liu Xia.

"What's wrong?" Liu Xia smiled gently.

"Aunt Su, why is Uncle Su crying? My father said that men bleed but don't cry. Those who cry are women!"

Su Bing's eyes widened, with a hint of red at the corners of his eyes.

When is he going to cry?

No wonder Guaiguai always plays with the girl from Erniu’s family. This chattering little mouth is exactly the same as Guaiguai’s.

Liu Xia didn't even bother to look at Su Bing, "Ignore him, let him cry if he wants to!"

No, wife, I really didn't cry! Su Bing wanted to say something, but because there were outsiders here, he finally shut up.

Wang Erniu rubbed his hands, his face full of apology.

"I'm sorry, brother Su, Xiaolin just listened to my nonsense!"

"It's okay. Brother Erniu, what are your plans for the future?" Su Bing really didn't care about this. He had long been accustomed to being bullied (tricked) by his own son.

Wang Erniu has a rough face, untidy beard and a fierce look.

But he is a simple and honest person.

He pinched the corner of his clothes when he was nervous.

"I haven't thought about this yet... I only have the strength I can muster..."

"If you have money, you can open a butcher shop in the village. Most people in our village have some spare money. Although each household does not buy meat every day, they can still buy it several times a year. Our village is far from Longde Town, and it is not convenient to buy anything. It would be much more convenient if we opened a shop."

"Brother Su, what do you think if I open a shop that not only sells pork, but also other pots, pans, and utensils commonly used by villagers?" Wang Erniu thought about it and drew inferences from his example.

Su Bing's eyes lit up, "Very good, but how can we get the goods? The price can't be more expensive than in town, nor can it be much less. If it's a penny or two cheaper, I believe that not only our Qingshan Village, but also several neighboring villages will be willing to buy!"

"To be honest, Brother Su, I know a brother who is in charge of the escort agency. Some of their goods are often detained because the money has not been paid.

Because the goods are too diverse and out of date, the town shopkeeper is suppressing the price, and my brother is so worried that he has no money to pay his people even though the New Year is coming soon. "Wang Erniu said excitedly.

If this could really come to fruition, it would not only help the brothers in the escort agency solve their current difficulties, but also provide him with a stable job.

Why not? "Pigs are easy to deal with. We can collect them from our village and other villages!" Su Bing thought about it and felt that it could be done. Then he frowned and said, "But the business documents may be a bit difficult to handle!"

"I can do this. Brother Su, since this idea was yours, you will get half of the profit from the shop." Wang Erniu did not give Su Bing a chance to refuse, "Let's make it a deal!"

Although I'm not very familiar with the place, I still have some connections! It's easy to get the paperwork done with a little effort.

Seeing that Wang Erniu really wanted him to join, Su Bing took out fifty taels of silver from his pocket.

"Brother Erniu, take this money. If you don't take it, forget it! And we don't have to split it 50-50. We can split it 80-20. You get 80 and I get 20. If this shop is open, I won't be in charge of anything. I'll just take the dividends!"

"Okay!" Wang Erniu didn't act pretentiously and accepted it directly.

He also brought out a pheasant and two rabbits from the kitchen.

"Brother Su, take it back and eat it!"

Su Bing was not polite, "Okay, come to my house for a drink some other day."

The drizzle began to fall again.

People in every household in the village stayed in their houses doing odd jobs.

There was no one walking on the street.

Liu Xia was holding an oil umbrella, and Su Bing next to her had most of his body exposed.

The small oil umbrella made Su Bing look particularly large, and the rain often wet his clothes.

"Madam, those fifty taels were taken from Wang Mazi!"

He meant that he did not hide the money.

Seeing that Liu Xia still didn't speak, he stretched out his hand pitifully, "My wife, look, Wang Mazi is too shameless, my hand hurts!"

Liu Xia paused for a moment and then continued walking forward, and the small oil-paper umbrella moved a little towards Su Bing.

She was afraid that Wang Mazi would retaliate later, "Did Wang Mazi recognize you?"

"No, they are all blindfolded!"

After that, the two of them fell silent, and Su Bing felt uncomfortable.

"My dear, the girl I kissed secretly was you..." His ears turned red, "When my father sent me to your house to study for the first time, I saw you sleeping alone against a tree. I didn't think much of it at the time, I just thought why the girl's face was so white!"

His heart was pounding as he stole a kiss.

Just as he thought, it was really soft and tender.

Liu Xia recalled that it was really true.

She remembered that when she just woke up, she saw the little boy standing there with a red face and not saying a word.

Xiao Liuxia put her hands on her hips and said arrogantly, "Who are you? Why are you in my house?"

"I am Su Bing, and I came... to study..."

"Why is your face so red? Did you do something wrong?"

Xiao Liuxia approached Xiao Su Bing step by step.

Little Subing kept backing away and leaned against the wall.

"No……"

Originally, Su Bing didn't want to tell this matter. That was the first time he learned to lie!

Unexpectedly, it was turned out.

Liu Xia pressed Su Bing step by step just like when they were children, and she smiled brightly.

"You kissed girls at the age of eight. Who else have you kissed?"

"From the beginning to the end, it's always been you!" Su Bing said softly with love in his eyes.
