Chapter 155 Sure enough, I am still too young
The second elder brother advised: "Second Master Shen, maybe this is just a coincidence, why bother wasting money on it..."
"You're right," Mr. Shen nodded. "I have some flowers at home that I can't keep well. Can you help me take care of them? If I can keep them alive, I'll pay you. Even if I can't keep them alive, I won't ask you to pay..."
Their eyes met in the air, and the second brother's heart suddenly skipped a beat.
In a flash, he suddenly figured out something.
Mr. Shen proposed to buy Tai Sui soil, but he was actually testing the waters.
As long as he doesn't sell it, or he says something to dispel the doubt, he will immediately understand that the flowers can survive not because of the Tai Sui soil.
Even if he sold it calmly, it didn't matter. He would just go home and try it to know if it was true. It would just take a little more time.
As long as Tai Sui Earth is ruled out, it must be a human problem.
And his answer is enough to prove that he is not really "ignorant", he is just making excuses.
This person is an old hand, he knows how to speak.
After thinking it through, the second elder brother calmed down. He said, "Second Master Shen, I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll ask my father when he gets home, and then give you a reply, okay?"
Mr. Shen's attitude was very humble from beginning to end: "Young man, to be honest, I have no other hobbies in my life, I just love to grow flowers. I really don't want to force you, but some flowers are really delicate, so I have to think of more ways. I said, if I can keep them alive, I will pay you, if I can't, I won't ask you to pay. I mean what I say. If you don't believe me, we can sign a contract..."
"Yes, yes," the second brother agreed repeatedly: "We naturally trust Mr. Shen's character. When we first met, Mr. Shen was able to take care of us. He is kind-hearted and we are very grateful to him until now..."
The two of them exchanged some pleasantries, and then Mr. Shen took his leave promptly, agreeing to come back early the next morning.
The second elder brother sighed, went back to the house and said to the fourth elder brother Tang: "You take care of the house, I will go to talk to Dad."
Fourth Brother Tang's leg was still injured and he couldn't get off the bed, but he kept listening and said, "I think Second Master Shen is not a bad person, and Anshun's housekeeper is also very good."
"I know," the second brother said without further ado, "I'll go find Dad."
He slowly walked over there and called Tang Qingshan.
It was difficult to talk outside, so they went directly to the Yuan family. Xinbao had just finished recognizing the words on the cloth. When she saw her father coming, she happily opened her arms and said, "Daddy, hold me."
"No," Tang Qingshan said, "Daddy is dirty."
"Oh," Xinbao retracted his arm, thought for a moment, and pouted again: "Daddy, kiss me."
"Not a kiss either." The old father continued to reject coldly: "Daddy's face is dirty too."
Xinbao blinked her big eyes and thought for a long time. Then she kissed her own palm and pressed it on her father's face without any explanation: "Xinbao finally got the kiss!"
Her eyes narrowed when she smiled, and her little bags under her eyes appeared, like a cat that had stolen a fish.
Tang Qingshan smiled and turned back to ask his son, "What's the matter?"
Yan Shenjue said: "Uncle Qingshan, come in and sit down."
Tang Qingshan waved his hand and sat down on the bench in the corridor. The second brother told his father.
Tang Qingshan frowned as he listened. He said, "You didn't handle it properly! You didn't calm down, so you made mistakes everywhere."
The second brother didn’t understand what his father meant for a moment: “I didn’t react at the time and said the wrong thing.”
Yan Shenjue said calmly: "I guess what Uncle Qingshan meant is that a three-year-old child who can grow flowers, or vegetables, is not actually 'conspicuous', nothing special, you don't have to be too nervous."
It was like a sudden enlightenment for the second brother.
Yes, yes! He watched his sister every day, and of course he knew that his sister's vegetable growing speed was incredible, but no matter how incredible it was, the skill of growing vegetables was not that attractive.
A person who knows how to grow vegetables, even if he is really "very good at it", is meaningless in the eyes of those "noble people" whom they need to worry about and fear.
People with a little status would not care about a vegetable farmer, a gardener, or even a housekeeper, and would not do such a "small matter" personally. If Xinbao was an adult, they would need to worry a little, but most people would not believe a three-year-old child, and if they did, they would most likely just laugh it off.
Of course, anything can happen.
But the possibility of this happening is not higher than that of "bumping into a noble person while walking" or "choking to death while eating or drinking water".
So, it was indeed him who was too nervous.
While he analyzed the pros and cons in his mind and made the decision to "make it public", he was also nervous and wanted to cover it up to avoid any danger.
If he hadn't been so nervous, he wouldn't have been exposed so easily when facing Master Shen.
Sure enough, I am still too immature! This is the evaluation my second brother gave to my 14-year-old self.
Then the second brother said: "So, I can agree to Mr. Shen, right?"
There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!
Tang Qingshan turned and looked at his daughter.
A bowl of cake had just been brought to Xinbao, who was sitting on Yan Shenjue's lap eating it. When he saw this, Xinbao blinked, then immediately nodded to show that he understood, and then scooped a spoonful for him.
Tang Qingshan was touched by his daughter's obedience and nodded her head gently: "Daddy won't eat it, Xinbao can eat it by yourself."
Xinbao said "oh" and continued eating. Her second brother understood what his father meant and asked her, "Xinbao, do you want to help Second Master Shen, the Second Master Shen you first met when you went to sell candy with your eldest and fourth brothers, to plant flowers?"
Xinbao thought about it and said, "Okay."
The second brother said, "Maybe we need to plant a lot and it will take a long time. Is that okay?"
Xinbao thought for a moment: "Did he give money?"
The second brother was happy: "Give money, he gives money."
When he heard about giving money, Tuanzi's eyes lit up and he became much more positive: "Xinbao is willing! Xinbao can do it! Xinbao wants to make money!"
The second brother laughed and said, "What does Xinbao need money for?"
Tuanzi said in a silly and cute way: "Xinbao has to support his father, mother, wife, Tang Xiaoba and Shen Qiu...Xinbao has too many people to support! Xinbao has to make a lot of money to make ends meet."
Even Tang Qingshan was amused by her joke. The second brother said with a smile: "You are only a little older. You don't need to take care of your parents and brother anymore."
Tuanzi shook her head: "No, Xinbao has to support everyone! Daddy, Mommy, Dede and my wife also have to make money to support Xinbao." She gestured to herself: "Everyone supports Xinbao."
"Oh!" The second elder brother suddenly understood: "Everyone takes care of Xinbao, and Xinbao also takes care of everyone, but it's not okay for Daddy to take care of Brother, and it's not okay for Brother to take care of Daddy and Mommy, because they are Xinbao's parents and brothers, right?"
Xinbao nodded vigorously: "Yes! All of them belong to Xinbao!"
The second brother twitched his lips: "This is unique..."
Tang Qingshan had no intention of teaching his daughter a lesson, and said directly: "Since Xinbao is willing, you can sign a contract with him. If the crops fail to grow, you don't have to pay compensation. If you don't understand, you can ask Yuan Dalang for advice."
"Okay," the second brother nodded, "I'll go talk to Brother Yuan later and ask him to help me keep an eye out when the time comes."
