Butler Xie is very good at fooling people.
It touches people's heart.
How can a person who can become a butler be a simple person?
Sure enough, after hearing what Butler Xie said, Old Man Zhou no longer had any hesitation.
After thinking it over, he started to say, "What about the pork..."
"Don't worry about that. I can buy it right away." Butler Xie said quickly.
But I was extremely complaining in my heart.
"Then you must remember to buy the fatter ones."
Butler Xie: “…”
Of course, Wu Yu and Wu Yu still agreed happily.
Isn't it just a matter of a few more copper coins? As long as they agree, what do these few copper coins mean?
"Knowing that everything has been discussed, Butler Xie now put out the money in his pocket.
"Here are ten taels of silver, here is one tael of silver, and here are 800 copper coins. Count them and see if you have any."
Butler Xie did not come here alone today, he also brought a few guards with him.
Before coming here, the master had already investigated the situation of the Zhou family.
This family is not poor, and they value money as their life.
Count the money in person to avoid any conflicts in the future.
I brought a lot of guards with me today, so I'm not worried about what the Zhou family can do.
Looking at the white silver on the table, Old Man Zhou no longer cared about anything else.
In front of Butler Xie, Mrs. Fang and I counted the 800 copper coins clearly.
In fact, to use Old Man Zhou's words, he counted to see if he could get an extra penny or two by chance.
It's just a pity that he was disappointed.
"Okay, okay, just this much silver, plus a pound of fatty pork." Old man Zhou said again after counting the silver.
"Thank you, housekeeper. If you ask me, is this pound of pork a little too much?" Jian Qiuyue, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke.
She was very hungry, even though Zhou Shuzhi was not her daughter.
But the family has not split up.
This is a lot of pork. Can't she eat two more pieces?
You know, this Zhou Zhizhi daughter is not hers.
This requires one and a half kilograms of pork. With the personalities of Old Man Zhou and Old Mrs. Fang, in the end, she might not even get a single piece of pork.
Like Chen Taohua, she had severed ties with her natal family.
No matter how unfair it was, she dared not say a word.
Only they themselves know what kind of life the Zhou family has lived over the years.
Chen Taohua was better off, as her daughter could still have some support.
Zhou Dashan was not a gambler and did not owe a lot of gambling debts.
Unlike her, she has no one to rely on, and now even eating a piece of meat has become a luxury.
She knows better than anyone what the Zhou family's current situation is.
There was no work in the fields, and Mrs. Fang wanted to divorce both of her wives.
In this way, if there is any food, they can eat twice as much and save a lot of food.
Besides, Xiaoshan lost a lot of money in gambling, but her parents didn't blame her.
What it means is that she didn't hold Zhou Xiaoshan.
She still remembers that day when Old Fang pointed at her forehead.
껙水 went straight to his face and cursed: "If you had stopped me, how could my family have so many debts?"
Later, she was beaten all over.
Even so, she didn't dare to complain.
Because she knew very well that if she contradicted Mrs. Fang, she would be divorced.
Once divorced, where would she find a place to stay in this world?
Of course, Jian Qiuyue didn't dare to say a word about the accusations made by Old Man Zhou and Old Mrs. Fang in the future.
At this time, Butler Xie heard Jian Qiuyue's words, and just stood up and sat down again.
Looking at Jian Qiuyue, he asked curiously: "Hey, this young lady is..."
"Sir, I am Shuzhi's third aunt." Jian Qiuyue hurriedly said in a flattering manner.
Butler Xie nodded, as if to see what was going on, and replied:
"My dear lady, it's not that I don't want to give more, but I bought this pound of pork with my own money. If you ask for one more pound, my wallet will be a little thinner."
Jian Qiuyue choked. She didn't expect that Butler Xie was such a stingy person.
In the end, after much discussion, it turned out that they just added half a pound of pork, and it was the lean kind.
Originally, Butler Xie was unwilling to do so, and the most he could do was to replace one pound of lean meat with fat.
This adds three more copper coins.
As a result, it has now been replaced with one and a half pounds of pork, and all of it is lean.
"Then I will come back in three days, or you can just send the person over directly?"
After finishing the discussion, Butler Xie stood up and went back.
At this time, he was standing at the door and asked this question to Old Man Zhou.
All in all, this trip was successful.
"Please rest assured, Steward Xie, we will personally deliver it to your door in three days."
Before old man Zhou opened his mouth, old Fang opened his mouth first.
After receiving all the money, Mrs. Fang was satisfied.
Hearing this, Old Man Zhou glared at Old Mrs. Fang.
He said to Butler Xie: "No, no, no, it would be better for you to come."
"Then after three days, I will order someone to bring the person to the palace?"
"Okay, it's settled. Thank you, butler. Goodbye." Old man Zhou waved quickly.
At the same time, I was actually very satisfied.
Not for anything else, because at this moment he had a few taels of silver in his hand.
You know, this is quite a lot.
In the whole Zhoujia Village, how many families have so much silver in their pockets?
"Old man, how about we have a good meal tonight? The rice jar at home is almost empty, it's time to buy some more rice."
Old Mrs. Fang came up to Old Man Zhou and said.
Hearing this, Old Man Zhou subconsciously touched his stomach.
Not to mention Old Fang, even he was greedy.
"Then go buy some first! It's not good to be hungry all day." Old man Zhou finally spoke to Zhou Dashan.
Because his youngest son was addicted to gambling, Old Man Zhou was worried about handing the money to Zhou Xiaoshan.
So Zhou Dashan had to go.
But before Zhou Dashan received the money, he heard a noisy sound not far away.
Looking in the direction of the voice, he saw the women in the village walking towards the gate of his compound.
At this time, Butler Xie had just left, and the group of women saw him at the corner.
"Oh, is the deal done?" Aunt Li asked with her eyes wide open.
When he asked this question, his eyes were full of gossip.
There is a reason for asking this question.
If the deal fails, then Butler Xie will definitely be kicked out.
Instead of walking over so swaggeringly and smilingly.
At the gate, Old Man Zhou and Old Fang were still standing there.
It was obvious that they were here to see off Butler Xie and had not yet had time to enter the house.
