Rebirth: Perfect Rural Life - Chapter 275
The mayor remained silent. Miss Yan invited Fang ruxiu to come in and sit down. She led them to the backyard and sat down together to have a good talk.
Then I knew that this Yin girl was really the only daughter of the shopkeeper here, named Yin Xiaotao. She had been paying attention to her long time ago. However, Fang Changliu always wanted to get a reputation, so she ran aground.
“Does shopkeeper Yin know about you two?” Fang ruxiu asked. Seeing that they both shook their heads, she said again, “countless, Miss Yin, in that case, you should settle down, otherwise you will be in trouble. What if your father promised you to others again?”
As soon as Yin Xiaotao heard that, she was worried. After all, she was old and there had been a matchmaker at home. A few days ago, her parents had asked her for advice several times, but they were all rejected by her because she didn’t want to get married for the time being, but when she heard Fang ruxiu’s words, she was afraid that what if her parents ordered her in private?
“So as I said, since you two are not young, it should be decided early.” Fang ruxiu advised them, “Uncle five, you go back first, study hard with Mr. Cheng, and come back to marry Miss Yin when you get your fame next year, but before that, you should get engaged first.”
“That’s the reason.” Fang even helped, “it’s not an engagement. Others don’t know that you have a master.”
“Yes, uncle five, you should mention it to shopkeeper Yin today. See what conditions shopkeeper Yin wants. I’ll tell Nai tomorrow and let her prepare for you and come to be engaged the day after tomorrow.” Fang ruxiu’s abacus played quickly.
“So fast?” the speed made the leader stay with Yan Xiaotao take some measures.
“Of course, the sooner the better. Cut the mess quickly. You two have been dragging on for so long. It’s uncertain that shopkeeper Yan and Mrs. Yan have been looking for someone else for Miss Yan.” Fang ruxiu said, “there are many people here, and it’s not good for Miss Yan, especially in case someone else comes to propose a marriage? Don’t you want another layer of trouble.”
Yin Xiaotao felt very reasonable when she heard Fang ruxiu’s words. She raised her eyes and looked at Fang Changliu eagerly. Fang Changliu thought about it and agreed.
It was not long before the shopkeeper Yan came in from the door. When he saw that the mayor didn’t work in the shop, he listened to his daughter and two other strange girls drinking tea here, and his face became cold.
“Long stay, what are you doing here if you don’t work?”
After hearing what shopkeeper Yin said, Fang Changliu stood up, clenched his fist in his sleeve and said, “I’m sitting here today to wait for you to come and tell you two things.”
“What’s the matter?” shopkeeper Yan didn’t know what Fang Changliu wanted to say. He walked over and sat on a master’s chair in the room.
“First thing, I’m going to leave here to say goodbye to the shopkeeper.”
Shopkeeper Yin was surprised to hear that Fang Changliu said he was going to leave the shop, no longer work here, and said goodbye to him. After all, Fang Changliu’s performance on weekdays was quite good. Although he sometimes forgot to greet guests when holding books, he got up very early on weekdays and cleaned the bookshelves early in the morning. At night, he will put these books that have been misplaced by guests back in place one by one, and then go back to bed.
On the other hand, he can write and occasionally write and read letters to people. He always keeps the money he gets in the store and does not hide it. Therefore, he takes advantage of hiring him.
“If you want to leave now, I won’t give you half of the salary this month.” shopkeeper Yan looked at the leader and wanted to keep him in this way.
“If you don’t give me my salary, don’t give it.” the square commander remained unmoved and said, “I have another thing to tell you.”
“What’s the matter?” shopkeeper Yan raised his eyebrows, saw the square leader’s solemn face, put down his tea and listened carefully.
“I want to ask for your daughter.”
“What!” seeing the mayor’s serious expression, all the dirty words that shopkeeper Yan wanted to say choked in his throat, and only said, “the toad wants to eat swan meat!”
When Fang ruxiu heard that the shopkeeper Yin had hurt Fang Changliu, she immediately stood up and was about to say something, but Fang even pulled her sleeves, and Fang ruxiu sat down.
“What are the conditions for you to marry a woman?” Fang Changliu asked calmly.
“It doesn’t matter what I offer, but can you achieve it?” shopkeeper Yin was angry when he heard that Xiao, the young man in the store, thought of his daughter.
Although Fang Changliu is still excellent in his daily life, in his eyes, he is just a man.
“As long as you say it, I will try my best to finish it.” Fang Changliu said seriously.
“I won’t say anything else. First of all, twenty Liang is not much.” shopkeeper Yin said, “this is just to prove your family’s financial resources. If someone else, I should ask for one hundred Liang.”
“Dad!” Yin Xiaotao shouted, “you sell your daughter. How can you keep him so much money?”
The girl didn’t stay. She hasn’t said other conditions yet. The daughter has already biased her heart.
“I sell my daughter?” shopkeeper Yin said angrily, “is my daughter only worth twenty liang? If I sell my daughter, I will sell twenty thousand Liang!”
When Yin Xiaotao heard what shopkeeper Yin said, he stopped talking.
Fang ruxiu came over and said, “it’s twenty Liang. No problem.”
“What conditions do you have?” the party chief asked again.
“If you really want to marry, the others naturally follow the rules, six magentas and sixty-four lifts. You can’t be less. Can you do these?” shopkeeper Yin asked.
“No problem.” Fang ruxiu agreed to leave a mouthful for Fang Chang.
When shopkeeper Yin saw Fang ruxiu’s repeated interruptions, he asked, “who are you?”
“I’m his niece. Today I came to discuss this matter with you as his family. My uncle’s character and appearance are among the best in the county. The reason why I chose to work in your bookstore is that there is an ancient book my uncle likes in your bookstore, not for money.”
Fang ruxiu thought it was just right to marry the daughter of shopkeeper Yin on the condition that Fang Chang left, and the daughter of shopkeeper Yin looked like a little Jasper. As the daughter of the bookstore owner, she should also be knowledgeable and reasonable. They should be just right together.
“So you can rest assured that after our family asks to marry your daughter, she will never be wronged. In the future, when my uncle is admitted to the scholar, she will be the scholar’s wife.”
“You are a big talker. I don’t think your family is a rich family. How can you play with a big marriage? What can you understand as a girl?” shopkeeper Yin said with some dissatisfaction.
“So we’ll ask adults to bring a matchmaker tomorrow and discuss with you later.” Fang ruxiu agreed, and then asked the mayor to stay and pack up his things and prepare to leave.
If this thing is done here, even if it is half successful, it has nothing to do with her about other employment matters.
When he came, he took two people with him when he came back. Fang Changliu also went home. Fang Zhizhi planned to live in his mother’s house.
Because Fang Changliu is coming back, Yu and Fang Weicheng will not live in Fang ruxiu’s house. They will go back to their old house to live with their son, because Fang Changliu will certainly not come to Fang ruxiu’s house to live together.
When Yu was leaving, Fang ruxiu told her the good news and gave her one hundred liang of silver to find a matchmaker. Now her heart can finally be put down.
When Yu was busy leaving a job for the founder and some other things, Ye was busy inviting people to make cotton padded clothes.
Fang ruxiu didn’t like the way others were going in and out of his house, so she asked ye to clean up the two houses in which the old house was divided to his own house, spread earth dragons and install a fireplace. Now the house will be warm and used to make clothes for these women at that time.
One house was used to store cotton and some well-made cotton clothes and gloves. Slowly the weather became cold, and there was nothing to do in the field. When these women heard that Fang ruxiu’s family wanted to hire someone to make clothes, they took the initiative to ask.
Ye didn’t hide it either. She told them one by one to let them work in this house in the future. She bought all the needles and thread, regardless of time. She sewed a cotton coat and gave them ten Wen and a pair of cotton gloves.
At the beginning, there were not many people. At the back, there were more and more people, and a room was full. Fang ruxiu said, “next year, our family will build some houses specially to make this winter clothes.”
Ye Shi also thinks it should be like this. Some trustworthy people have asked them to take their own cloth and cotton home to do it, but in fact, many people are still willing to do it at Fang ruxiu’s home. First, because Fang ruxiu’s house was covered with earth dragons, it was really warm, and they themselves spent charcoal fire at home; Second, because there are many people, it is more exciting to do.
However, at the beginning of this year, we didn’t think so much, so we can only do so. We just wait for next year, and we can operate well.
Now Fang Changfu has found a good piece of land in the village to build a house for Fang Changheng’s family. Of course, Fang Changheng’s family has their own money, but now he is busy and has no time, so he asks Fang Changfu to help.
By the way, he also helped to build a new house for Fang long. The new house left by Fang Long was Yu Shi’s money. She has saved a lot of money these days. Fang ruxiu will give her some from time to time. Originally, I wanted to directly invest in the founder to stay and build a house, but I was afraid that other people would be jealous. It was really difficult.
The third Aunt Liu was very jealous when she saw it. After a year, even Fang Changgui’s family began to build a new house, but she hasn’t built a house yet.
All her family’s money bought land, and she always wanted Fang Changfu’s family to help, but Fang Changfu’s family hated her and didn’t have much contact with Fang Changgeng. If Fang Yiqin didn’t work in her shop, she wouldn’t bother to take care of everything.
Originally, Fang Changgeng was also a selfish man. In the past, everyone went to work together. He went to private work alone. With the money saved, he bought a field and divided his family.
But now, everyone is building a house. It’s really ironic that his house hasn’t been built yet.
However, the Fang ruxiu family all like those hardworking and simple people, and don’t like those people with many famous thieves, so they always turn a blind eye to them and don’t say they want to help them.
