Chapter 17 Business
Sun raised her hand and pinched Zhou Huailin, "You want to rebel too? Why are you talking to your elder brother!"
Zhou Huailin's eyes turned red, "If someone spreads rumors about me like this tomorrow, Yao'er, I don't care who he is, I will just stab him with a knife."
After a pause, Zhou Huailin looked at Zhou Huaihai, his voice cold and sarcastic, "Brother, you must have been following Qing Yatou today, huh."
Zhou Huaihai's face suddenly heated up and he looked away.
Zhou Huailin took his wife and daughter and left.
Mr. Zhou saw that the third child's eyes were also red and he stood up anxiously.
Zhou Ping, who was not pulled by his father, stepped forward and hugged Mr. Zhou's legs, raised his head and stared with dark eyes, "Master, are my father and second uncle both bought as long-term workers in the family?"
These words hurt Mr. Zhou's heart.
However, Zhou Ping added another sentence.
"Master, you asked the uncle to apologize to the second uncle, is it because you think he is wrong? Or is it because the eldest sister said that she will not give the uncle money in the future and you are afraid that the uncle will have no money to spend?"
Mr. Zhou.
Zhou Ping's clean eyes made his old face hurt.
He turned to Zhou Huaihai and yelled angrily, "It's a shame that after so many years of studying, you still haven't got a child who understands everything."
In fact, Zhou Huaihai reacted the moment Zhou Ping spoke.
If Zhou Qing is serious, then the second room will completely let go and the third room will follow suit.
What to do with their big room!
What to eat and what to drink!
The little money he has in his family studies is not enough for him to spend on himself.
This week Huaihai knew that the situation was serious, "Dad, I'm going to apologize to my second brother."
But Mrs. Sun grabbed Zhou Huaihai and said, "Where are you going? As long as my mother is here, I will never wrong you."
Snapped!
Mr. Zhou slapped Sun in the face.
"You have to break up this family to be satisfied!?"
Wang was so frightened that she almost cried again.
After so many years of marriage into the Zhou family, this was the first time she saw her father-in-law take action.
When Zhou Huaihai saw this, he immediately pulled Wang away.
Behind me, I heard Sun's wailing voice and Mr. Zhou's angry scolding.
Zhou Huaihai went to knock on the door of the second room. Neither Zhou Qing nor Zhou Huaishan paid attention to him. Zhou Huaihai said a few harmless words through the door and left.
The quarrel ended here, and everyone in the village knew that the second eldest son of the Zhou family could write better than the eldest son of the Zhou family.
For Zhou Qing, it was a blessing in disguise.
Now her father is studying more confidently.
Even the patriarch encouraged it!
"Daughter, am I doing well today?" Zhou Huaishan asked for praise.
Zhou Qing smiled and said, "Thankfully no one paid attention to your legs."
Zhou Huaishan said proudly: "My daughter is being bullied. Even if I have a broken leg, I still have to beat the bastard."
Zhou Huaishan's words about my daughter were very affectionate.
Zhou Qing glanced at him.
Zhou Huaishan was so blessed that he smiled and said, "I used to have eight sons in my family, and I always dreamed of having a daughter."
Zhou Qing puffed.
"Daughter, you didn't let anyone bully you when you went into the city, right?"
Zhou Qing shook his head and told Zhou Huaishan the whole story, "From now on, don't mention that poem to anyone."
After Zhou Huaishan heard this, his expression was even more serious than Zhou Qing's.
"My dear daughter, it's a good thing that you chose the largest bookstore in the county. Otherwise, we wouldn't have earned enough money from selling poems to buy our lives. Those poems are too popular. We'd better not sell them unless we have to."
In Kyoto, he saw how many big stores suppressed small ones.
If a small shop doesn't have any powerful background and gets a rare prescription, he won't dare to use it alone. He will have to join forces with a big shop, lest the big shop will take action and even bring the prescription to him.
After giving instructions to Zhou Qing, Zhou Huaishan smiled and said, "My daughter went to the city and made some money. Do you want to bring a gift for dad?"
Zhou Qing chuckled and took out a copy of "The Analects of Confucius", "Do you like it?"
Zhou Huaishan suddenly burst out with a cruel cry, "Daughter, do I have any grudge against you?"
It looked like a primary school student getting ten sets of Huanggang Secret Scrolls as a birthday gift.
Zhou Qing couldn't help laughing, "Before I leave, I asked you to write the Analects of Confucius. Have you finished it?"
Zhou Huaishan's miserable screams suddenly stopped.
Zhou Qing
"Where's the homework, no, where's the Analects of Confucius?"
Zhou Huaishan dawdled, dawdled, dawdled, and finally pulled out a piece of paper.
In one day's work, he wrote two words on the top: The Analects of Confucius.
Zhou Qing suddenly felt a little short of breath.
"You wrote just these two words all day long?"
Zhou Huaishan lowered his head and rubbed his fingers, "I haven't adapted to studying yet."
"Then are you suitable for farming?"
Zhou Huaishan tilted his neck and said, "You threatened me again."
"As long as you know it's a threat, just write it!"
Zhou Huaishan curled his lips, "You are so fierce, be careful not to get married."
Zhou Qing snorted, "Don't worry, I won't marry until you become an official."
The implication is that I urge you to read every day.
Zhou Huaishan suddenly threw his head back, his eyes full of despair.
Why on earth does he yearn for a daughter? Isn’t it great to have eight sons?
After despairing for a while, Zhou Huaishan looked at Zhou Qing faintly, "Daughter, I dreamed of a man today who looked very similar to my future son-in-law. He said he wanted to treat me to beggar's chicken."
Zhou Qing
"Write! I'm going to talk to my third uncle now. If you can't finish writing three pieces of paper when I come back, I won't let you eat chicken tonight. I'll eat it while you watch."
Zhou Huaishan.
Three bedrooms.
When Zhou Qing entered, Sanfang and his family were sitting on the kang talking. Mrs. Zhao's eyes were red and she had obviously cried.
Seeing her coming in, Zhou Yao immediately jumped off the kang.
"sister."
Mrs. Zhao wiped away her tears and looked at Zhou Qing, "Girl Qing is here."
"Third uncle and third aunt, I have something to discuss with you."
"A matter of family separation?" Zhao asked immediately.
The third house has always wanted to separate the family, and there have been many quarrels. But before, it was all because Zhou Huaishan was too honest and was pinched by the Sun family. No matter how much trouble the third house made, they couldn't separate.
So this time Zhou Qing made a fuss, Sanfang did not immediately follow him, but waited and watched for the time being.
Zhou Qing shook his head, "I want to do some small business. Let me ask my third uncle if I can partner up."
"What business?" Zhou Huailin was a little surprised.
"Every Mid-Autumn Festival when harvesting grain, every household has to put big red letters on the grain vats and granaries. I want to sell the big red letters. I have been wandering around the county these days, and I can't find a suitable business, so I want to make it myself. Try some small business.”
Thanks to the original owner for having a good mind.
This was indeed the original owner's idea, but the original owner planned to wholesale the big red letters in the shop and sell them in the village.
Earn the difference.
Now she doesn't have to wholesale, her father can write.
Zhou Huailin and Zhao looked at each other.
The big red letter is a piece of square paper with the word "harvest" written on it.
Qing Yatou just came back with a roll of red paper in her arms and asked Yao'er to help her take it back to her room.
As for characters, Zhou Huaishan can write them.
Zhou Huailin smiled bitterly: "This writing was written by your father. You bought all the paper and pens. Third uncle really doesn't have a copper in his hand, so how can he partner with you?"
He really didn't have a single coin.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be so eager to separate the family.
He wants to save money.
Zhou Qing laughed: "Third uncle, third aunt, I am a girl, selling scarlet letters in one village after another. What should I do if I meet a bad person?"
Zhou Ping knelt on the kang and patted his father on the shoulder, "My father protects my eldest sister."
Zhou Qing nodded, "That's the truth. Third uncle and I work together to sell, and my father does the writing. The three of us will share the money we get after deducting the cost."
After a pause, Zhou Qing looked at Zhou Ping.
"Isn't my father teaching Pingzi how to read? Tomorrow I will ask him to teach Pingzi how to write the word "Feng" first. When Pingzi is good at writing, when he is finished, he will also let Pingzi write with my father, so that Pingzi can also get a share. wages.”
When Zhou Ping heard this, he jumped off the kang, put on his shoes and ran out without saying a word.
"I'll go find my second uncle right away."
