Chapter 121 Uncle Zhou

The Qi family is paid according to work, and there is no such thing as current status.

For example, old lady Qi only does embroidery work with Wenxiu every day, and spends the rest of the time cracking melon seeds. The salary that old lady Qi earns is not as much as that of Qi Rong.

Qi Rong is nominally the fourth young master of the Qi family, but he does the work of a servant, serving tea and pouring water, cleaning and carrying all day long. According to his labor income, he and Lian Xin's wages are not low.

Moreover, the Qi family's business is also linked to the military camp. At present, the largest shareholder of this business is Tan Ji. If you want to say that it is the master, let alone Sheng Jiaojiao has not really married Tan Ji, if she is, she is the head of the house. Identity is something that no one can shake.

Even, they became two families, the Qi family and the Tan family.

Uncle Zhou was stunned for a moment, he probably didn't expect that he would persuade Mrs. Zhou so earnestly, but Mrs. Zhou was so focused on helping Sheng Jiaojiao speak, she didn't listen to his words at all.

So, Uncle Zhou's face was stiff and he said:

"If you don't listen to what I'm telling you now, you will definitely regret it in the future. That's fine, I'll see how you cry then."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Zhou turned away, snorted, and stopped talking.

The Zhou family was also embarrassed. When she was a girl in the Zhou family, she actually had a very good relationship with her elder brother.

Because of the good relationship, when Uncle Zhou said these things in front of her, although she was angry, she didn't say anything harsh.

The atmosphere in the hall became awkward.

After a long time, Uncle Zhou held back his anger, and said to the silent Zhou:
"There is one thing right now, you have to take it to heart. It was suggested by your sister-in-law. I want the Zhou family to start an idea business with your family. We don't have any capital. You should share some shares with us first, and wait for the Zhou family to make money. , and then convert the shares into money to pay you back."

"Brother, look at what you said."

Zhou was shocked.

Originally the Zhou family didn't have much money, and the Qi family had more sons and daughters, life was a bit easier, but compared to the Zhou family, it was not much easier.

Everyone was born in a poor family, and there is no such a big gap, so the vision is not high. The most excessive thing done by relatives is that the Zhou family occasionally comes to the Qi family because life is difficult. Get some autumn wind.

Assuming that everyone has no money, the starting point is almost the same.

However, the Qi family suddenly became rich. Among other things, the expenses for the decorations in the main room of the Qi family may be able to support the Zhou family.

So when the level came out, the Zhou family's appetite grew, and the exit was to ask the Zhou family to give some shares, and they only thought that the Zhou family should give it.

Seeing Zhou's shocked face, Uncle Zhou's heart sank, and he said in a low voice:

"A-mei, your surname is Zhou, and you are also from the Zhou family. Now that the Zhou family is getting worse every day, don't you miss your natal family?"

"I think, why don't I want to? I also want my natal family to live well."

Zhou's expression didn't know what to say, she turned to look at Uncle Zhou, wondering:
"But this share."

How can you just give it as you say?
She paused for a moment, but decided to reason with brother, and said:
"It's not that I don't give this share. I actually don't have many shares. There are many people who buy shares here."

The Qi family has a lot of businesses. At present, the most important ones are embroidery, medicinal materials, horse breeding, etc. The composition of the shares in them is different and divided into categories.

The big house is the stock of the big house. If the Zhou family wants to distribute the shares to the Zhou family, they can only get the shares of the big house, and she cannot share the shares of other people.

However, if Dafang's shares are distributed, Qizhang will lose a little. This is a matter of personal interests, and the Zhou family also wants to help her mother's family, but this is not the way to help.

She patiently reasoned with Uncle Zhou that all the shares of the big house are reserved for Qi Zhang, and Qi Zhang is the eldest son and grandson of the Qi family. If it is such a big matter to divide the shares, Zhou's words don't matter, it's up to him Qi Zhang nodded.

"What can I say? If you want to share Brother Brother's shares, will Brother Brother's future wife agree?"

Sheng Jiaojiao's words sounded from outside the main room.

Before she arrived, her voice had arrived.

Uncle Zhou and Mrs. Zhou turned their heads to look, and saw the bright spring in the courtyard outside. Sheng Jiaojiao came in wearing a satin light blue dress with a slanted neck and long skirt with wide sleeves, leading Lian Xin and Qi Rong.

She greeted Mrs. Zhou, sat on the main seat in the main room, rolled down her sleeves, and Lian Xin handed over a round fan embroidered with flowers and butterflies.

Seeing Lian Xin looking back, she and Qi Rong went out of the main room to make tea in the kitchen.

Mrs. Qi Zhou expected that Sheng Jiaojiao had listened to what she had said just now. Jiao Jiaoer had always forbidden her to associate with the Zhou family, so Mrs. Qi Zhou's face was embarrassing and she dared not speak out.

Uncle Zhou's face was ugly, he stared at Lian Xin again, and hummed:

"Da Lang's wife has not been seen yet. The boss is a big man, and he hasn't made a kiss yet. I don't know who has delayed it."

What he said was very yin and yang, who didn't know that the Qi family used to raise Sheng Jiaojiao, and there were rumors that she raised Sheng Jiaojiao to be Qi Zhang's wife.

In the end, within a few years, Sheng Jiaojiao became the home of the Qi family and said that she would give it to Tan Ji, but it left Qi Zhang with nowhere to go.

It can be annoying or not annoying.

Mrs. Zhou raised her hand, hurriedly made a movement to stop Uncle Zhou, and reprimanded in a low voice:

"Brother, this is a matter of the Qi family, don't talk about it anymore."

Sheng Jiaojiao was sitting on the main seat, gently shaking the round fan, sitting on the chair with a slender body, as beautiful as a handful of young bamboos, she looked at Uncle Zhou with a smile,
"Although my elder brother has not yet said we are married, we cannot allow outsiders to fool around with my elder brother's shares. The eldest house is the eldest house, and it is an example for all the houses in our Qi family. If the elder brother's house can be divided indistinctly today." The shares of the eldest son and grandson go out, and the rest of the house will naturally be able to do so. In the ten miles and eight towns, relatives are connected with relatives, a little bit of this, and a little bit of that, and within a few days, the Qi family's hard-earned money will be stolen. Empty."

This is by no means Sheng Jiaojiao's alarmist talk. She said this not only for Uncle Zhou, but also for Mrs. Qi Zhou.

Which house does not have a natal family? Wanwang Zhou should carefully consider it.

As soon as Sheng Jiaojiao's words fell, Mrs. Zhou immediately stood up and bowed to Uncle Zhou,
"Brother, I was not decisive enough to refuse this matter. It doesn't count for me to say about the shares, it doesn't count for the uncle, and it doesn't count for Da Lang. We are Qi's family, and if we want to share the shares, we have to share the shares with the Qi family." Sifang agrees with the old lady, the matter is of great importance, brother, don't embarrass me anymore."

She said, with tears in her eyes, seeing that Uncle Zhou had already put on his plea.

In ancient times, in the family of a woman married as a man, how can she be free and happy when she lives in her husband's house?With so many houses in the Qi family, the Zhou family can't do anything at all.

If Uncle Zhou continues to insist, he will embarrass his sister.

The man in his thirties who was sitting on the chair had a livid complexion. He stared at Qi Zhou, clenched his cheeks and stopped talking.

The atmosphere in the main room was extremely tense, Lian Xin and Qi Zhi came in with tea trays and served tea to Sheng Jiaojiao, Uncle Zhou and Qi Zhou.

After serving tea, Qi Rong stood still, but Lian Xin pulled his sleeve, and he followed Lian Xin out the door.

It seems that since Lian Xin came to Qi's family, Qi Rong not only behaved a lot, but also acted smarter.

Sheng Jiaojiao was still sitting on the main seat, shaking the round fan lightly, with a cold smile in the corner of her eyes.

"Jiao Niang is really amazing."

Uncle Zhou uttered these words almost from between his teeth. He looked at Sheng Jiaojiao again, moved his eyes inch by inch, and smiled angrily:
"My Zhou family is, after all, the ancestral family of Commander Qi Battalion. Jiao Niang, Qi Dalang's ability is getting better and better. Don't do things that are too ugly. Push the Zhou family to a dead end. In the future, you will treat Da Lang's wind. The reviews are not good either."

"makes sense."

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded slightly, waved the round fan slowly, and said:

"So I also thought of a job for the Zhou family here. The shares are inseparable, but with this job, I won't be so sad when I want to come to the Zhou family."

Hearing what she said, Zhou's face was overjoyed, regardless of whether Uncle Zhou accepted it or not, he just wiped away his tears and asked happily:

"Jiao Jiaoer, what kind of work is it?"

"It's already spring. I had agreed with Miss Chen's family to rent the Chen family's ten acres of land by the water pond to grow medicinal materials. Since the uncle wants to make a fortune so much, why don't we plant these ten acres of land? how?"

Sheng Jiaojiao finished speaking, glanced at Uncle Zhou, and said:
"I have some 'planting treasures' bought from shopkeepers here. The land that Uncle Zhou contracted to grow is right by the water, so there is no need to worry about the soil and water being unfertile. After paying the rent for more than ten acres of land, It’s enough for the Zhou family to earn a lot of money.”

These ten acres of land were rented by Sheng Jiaojiao from Chen Adi. It was agreed before winter, and the contract was signed by Qi Ming. Now it is subcontracted to the Zhou family for planting. The Qi family only takes the harvest as rent. The money paid to Chen Adi was real gold and silver, so it was considered a concession to Zhou's family.

After all, the real gold and silver paid to Chen Adi is a fixed amount every year, but the harvest is not certain. If the harvest is good, the Qi family will make money, but if the harvest is not good, the Qi family will lose money.

Zhou felt very good, and quickly turned to look at Uncle Zhou, saying:

"Brother, this is a good deal. More than ten acres of land. If you use the land planting treasure, the harvest will definitely be good."

There is a large piece of land beside the water lake, and there is no human cultivation all year round. People near Tiaoma Lake say that it is a pity that such a large piece of good land is lost.

Unexpectedly, this piece of land belonged to the Chen family, let alone Sheng Jiaojiao rented this piece of land from Chen Adi.

But Uncle Zhou thought differently, he said angrily:
"How laborious is it to plant a land of more than ten acres? It's unbelievable that we have to suffer this crime when we are old."

He made a good plan, the Qi family is getting more and more prosperous, as long as the Zhou family relies on the Qi family, they will take care of the Zhou family no matter what in the future, otherwise outsiders will say that Qi Zhang only cares about his own wealth, but forgets to take care of his family. Grandfather's family.

So working hard to plant more than ten acres of land, how can it be so comfortable to get money directly from the Qi family?
"Then there is no other way, I can only send the uncle out today."

Sheng Jiaojiao still had a smile on her face, the round fan in her hand was spinning, she got up, and she didn't want to talk to Uncle Zhou any more.

She has always disliked dealing with empty-handed wolves.

Unexpectedly, she was about to leave, but Uncle Zhou stood up to stop her, only to hear Uncle Zhou anxiously say:

"Jiao Niang, just let's not talk about the shares. We and Da Lang are also relatives anyway. You can't do things right. The Qi family is so rich and made so much money in a year. At least we should give some filial piety to Da Lang. Lang's grandfather, these demands are not too much, right?"

Turning around again, grabbed Zhou Shi, and said sharply:
"My sister, you have been married to the Qi family for so many years, why did the Zhou family ever ask you for gold and silver, now that your parents are old and at home, you don't want to think about your brothers and sisters, you should also think about your father and mother."

Zhou's father and mother are still alive, but their health is not very good. In the past, when the Qi family was not rich, the Zhou family did not ask Zhou for money, but now that the Qi family is rich, they give some money every month. It's not too much to be filial to Zhou's father and mother.

Sheng Jiaojiao lifted the round fan in her hand, opened Uncle Zhou's hand that was trying to drag Mrs. Zhou, and said with a sneer:

"In previous years, when you came to Qi's family to play the autumn wind, did you not give it to you or what? Family, if you want to take money from the Qi family, it will be impossible."

Since the Qi family started the medicinal material business, every month, the Zhou family will send a lot of medicinal materials to the old lady and the old man of the Zhou family.

Sometimes, Mrs. Zhou would give her father and mother her wages, and Sheng Jiaojiao knew about these things.

Zhou's monthly salary is actually not low, at least it is much more than what ordinary people can get when they work as coolies outside.

Therefore, the Zhou family gave Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Zhou a lot of money each.

But the Zhou family wants more?It's hard to fill the gap in people's hearts, so it's no wonder that the Zhou family put their minds on the Qi family's shares, which really raised the Zhou family's appetite.

So how much is enough to satisfy the Zhou family?

After finishing speaking, Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes became cold and severe, she turned around and greeted Mrs Zhou:

"Auntie, I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."

She stepped forward and left, making it clear that she didn't care about this matter anymore.

Everything in this world needs to have regulations, without regulations, it is easy to mess up, the harem has the regulations of the harem, and the Qi family also has the regulations of the Qi family.

It is not acceptable for anyone to talk about marriage and make any reason to make the Qi family lose the charter and help the Zhou family.

Uncle Zhou wanted to grab Zhou's hand again, and wanted to stop Sheng Jiaojiao, but Qi Rong came in, and said in a firm tone:

"Master, let's go, don't make my elder sister angry."

As he said this, he stretched out his hand and dragged and pushed Uncle Zhou all the way, pushing him out of the main room of the Qi family.

Mrs. Zhou stood in the main room, moved her footsteps, but did not chase after all.

She just sighed, and sat down weakly, not knowing how it was a good thing.

Although she also sympathized with her natal family and wanted to help her natal family develop, but if she wanted to sacrifice her son's wealth to help her natal family, a good person like Zhou would have selfish intentions.
