Chapter 144 The whole village knows

"Get out!"

Jiang Dahe pulled him up.

He was still disgusted by the dirt and wiped the stool with a rag.

"You! If you dare, call the shopkeeper out. I think you are just afraid that I will take your job. If you dare, call him out."

He was already furious after being ignored by Jiang Eryong just now.

Now he was dragged up again by Jiang Dahe with disgust.

Jiang Zhuzi's neck turned red with anger.

"I'm the shopkeeper. What do you want from me?"

Without waiting for him to start making trouble again.

Zhang Jinlan opened the curtain and walked over with her second son.

Jiang Fubao, on the other hand, stuck his head out from behind the curtain and watched the show quietly.

“You you you!”

The moment Jiang Zhuzi saw Zhang Jinlan.

I even stuttered when I spoke.

But change your mind.

Maybe Zhang Jinlan was just helping wash dishes in the shop.

He regained his arrogance and continued, "You? An old woman from the village? And the shopkeeper? Who are you trying to fool? Is your name written on the sign outside the door? I said this is my shop, tsk."

Jiang Zhuzi simply didn't believe it.

"It's true that my name is not written on it, but this is Jiang's Snack Shop, it's owned by my Jiang family!"

Zhang Jinlan snorted coldly.

"Jiang's Snack Shop? Aren't you the waiters? Did you open this shop yourselves?"

Jiang Zhuzi staggered back two steps.

He looked at Zhang Jinlan in disbelief.

"Of course they opened it. I've been eating here since the first day. The owner of Jiang's Snack Shop is this Aunt Zhang. Get out of here right now and don't disturb me from eating meat pie. If you make trouble again, I'll call the police."

The customer who had been sitting in the shop and had not left yet cursed loudly.

He was dressed elegantly, with gold embroidery on his coat and a jade pendant hanging around his waist.

There is no ordinary product.

At first glance, he is obviously the son of a wealthy family.

No matter how stupid Jiang Zhuzi is, he should know that he cannot provoke this person.

He didn't dare to make trouble again.

Ran away in shame.

"Mom, you shouldn't say that." Jiang Dahe said with some disapproval.

"Brother, Jiang Zi Chong just told me that his mother and Widow Liu saw us yesterday. Widow Liu is a big mouth and she will definitely spread this matter throughout the village. If people come to our shop from time to time in the future, how can we run our shop?

Why don't you just explain it yourself? Now that they know that the shop is owned by our family, there must be many people in the village who would ask us for help. Then I can let my mother scold them back, and they won't have to come to the shop to cause trouble."

Jiang Eryong explained.

As for helping the people in the village.

Don't even think about it.

Come and scold each one.

Come with a pair, curse with a pair!

Jiang Eryong is very confident in his mother's ability to scold people.

"Eryong is right. Instead of asking others to inquire, it's better for us to speak up ourselves. Mom is really fed up with those old ladies sitting under the tree and gossiping about our family every day."

Zhang Jinlan was feeling evil.

The family is poor.

They were looked down upon by the villagers and bullied by the clan leader.

She wanted to see how the villagers would react when they found out that her family had opened a shop.

Just thinking about it makes me feel better.

evening.

The Jiang family sat on the ox cart and returned to the village as the sun set.

In the afternoon, Jiang Zhuzi had already returned.

After he told his mother the news that the Jiang family opened a shop.

Widow Liu told the news to several old ladies in the village.

As a result, not even an hour passed.

The news that the Jiang family opened a shop in the town spread throughout the village.

Under the big tree at the entrance of the village.

Today is particularly lively.

There were at least dozens of people surrounding them.

There are both men and women.

They are not here to chat.

Instead, he deliberately waited for Jiang Fubao's family to come back.

"I heard that Zhang's family runs a small grocery store. I don't know how much money they can make in a day."

Ma Qingmei sat on a low stool, holding a bamboo fan, fanning herself as she spoke.

"It's definitely a few dozen cents a day," said Wang Xiulian.

Her two sons have not returned yet.

Maybe he will really become a waiter.

I was quite happy at first, but when I thought about the Jiang family opening a shop, the job of waiter was nothing.

She was very jealous.

I couldn't even eat dinner.

"How many tens of coins? More than a few hundred coins! Do you know how much it costs to rent a shop in Baishi Street for a month?"

A woman who had just been married to Jiangjia Village for less than two years said mysteriously.

"How many?"

Everyone looked at her curiously.

"At least half an ounce of silver, and the location is not good. My brother from my mother's side asked before. He wanted to sell some food, but the rent was too expensive, so he gave up the idea of ​​opening a shop. Moreover, it is not enough to pay only one month's rent. It must be rented for at least three months. In addition to the things in the shop, it will cost at least two ounces of silver."

"What? So expensive? Can you make back your money?"

Everyone cried out in surprise.

"It should be possible. Sister Xiulian and I saw it clearly that day. Her shop was doing very well. There were people lining up outside, as if they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to buy anything. Oh, this sister Jinlan is really something. She opened a shop secretly. What can we do if she told us? Tell me, was the ox cart lent to her by her parents?"

Widow Liu turned the topic to the ox cart.

With the man around, she spoke in a strangled voice.

But it was loud enough for everyone under the tree to hear it clearly.

"It must have been lent to them. An ox cart costs at least fifteen taels. How can they afford it? I'm afraid they will have to return it in a few days."

"Stop talking, I'm back."

Just when they were having a great chat.

The Jiang family’s ox cart is about to arrive at the village entrance.

Jiang Fubao was held in his mother's arms.

sleepy.

I came back a little late today.

The beautiful sunset has gradually come to an end.

The speed of the oxcart did not slow down at all.

Passing through the village entrance, Jiang Dahe was about to ride the ox cart back home.

But he was stopped by the villagers.

"Don't be in a hurry to go back, sister-in-law, tell me, is that shop in the town really yours?"

"Yeah, tell us now. We are all from the same village. There is nothing shameful about it. What will happen if you tell us? Can we eat you?"

"Sister Jinlan, what kind of food do you sell? Can you teach me?"

“.......”

chirping sound.

Get rid of Jiang Fubao's sleepiness completely.

She opened her big, dazed eyes and looked at the villagers gathered around the ox cart.

In the past, these people never greeted Grandma when they saw her.

Everyone is very enthusiastic today, as if grandma is very familiar with them.

"It's my family's business. We sell some common food, like green bean soup, meat pie, etc. If you still have green beans, bring them here and we'll buy them for you at the same price. Okay, it's getting late and we haven't eaten yet. Let's stop talking and give them away."

Zhang Jinlan sent them away with just one word.

After returning home, Jiang Fubao washed his hands in the tub and prepared to eat.

My sister-in-law didn't go to town today.

The food had already been prepared and was warming on the stove.

Although the weather is hot.

Eating cold food can easily cause diarrhea.

After dinner.

It was getting completely dark.

Jiang Fubao's body was sticky.
