Blessed peasant girl has space

Chapter 39

Seeing Tang Gu like this, Tang Mi felt uncomfortable.

Because of his father's injury, the taciturn elder brother was always worried that the family didn't have enough money, and was even more distressed that she scratched her hand trying to weave the basket.

As long as Tang Gu has a little trivial time, he will help the family with chores.Sometimes I come back too late, and I have to get up early in the morning to help with laundry and so on.

A few days ago, he sprained his waist because of carrying too heavy goods. If Tang Mi hadn't noticed it, he would have kept it a secret from his family.

But even so, he only rested at home for two days and came to the pier again, earning hard money.

Tang Gu had studied for a year, and later he knew that he had no talent in reading, and he didn't want to waste money at home, so he didn't continue to study.

How could he not be able to figure out such a simple arithmetic because he was educated?

This manager surnamed Yang is obviously bullying.

"However, the 180 Wen has to be deducted from your food expenses, and I will give it to you—" Steward Yang looked arrogant, his fat body shaking with his movements, "120 Wen!"

As he said that, he counted out 120 Wen from the money bag, and threw it to Tang Gu like a beggar, "Take it!"

In the past, Tang Gu really wouldn't say much.

But it's different now.

During this period of time, although my father's arm has recovered a little, he still needs to take medicine to replenish his body, and his mother is pregnant again. When the Chinese New Year comes, there will be an extra person in the family.

Although it is midsummer now, for him, winter is just a blink of an eye.

If you don't save more money, let alone whether you can buy more food, even the charcoal fire is not enough to survive the winter.

Tang Gu held the copper coins in his hand, but did not move. What came into his mind was his sister's hands covered with scars.

"What's the matter? You think it's wrong?" Steward Yang frowned, a little dissatisfied, "Do you think the money is too little? If you think it's too little money, you won't use it to help me tomorrow!"

Tang Gu immediately burst into a smile, he quickly shook his head, and after a while he hesitated and said, "Boss, can I bring my own food from now on?"

In this way, he can also save money.

In fact, he doesn't eat much of the food provided by Steward Yang now. His food is either eggs boiled for him by Tang Mi, or burritos occasionally sent by Hu Sanmu and Rong.

As for the food that Steward Yang was talking about, it was actually just coarse-grain steamed buns that Steward Yang’s relatives sold on the wharf. They said the price was low, but the coarse-grain steamed buns were really not for human consumption. .

If you want to move the goods, you need all your strength. If you can't eat a fist-sized coarse grain steamed bun, how can you do anything?
But even so, Guanshi Yang actually had to count sixty coins.

Tang Gu had to swallow his anger, fearing that he would lose the job.

"Will the food you bring be enough?" Steward Yang was very displeased with Tang Gu's attitude, and immediately decided, "You don't come tomorrow!"

"Guard Yang..." Tang Gu was a little anxious, but he was stupid, even if he apologized, he said dryly, "I'm sorry!"

The most indispensable thing on the pier is coolies. Steward Yang didn't take Tang Gu seriously at all. He waved Tang Gu away, but Tang Gu, a big man, was sweating profusely.

Seeing this, Tang Mi immediately walked up, "Guard Yang, you made a mistake in your calculation just now!"

"I've helped you twelve times, fifteen coins each time, which is already 180 coins! Yesterday and today I was busy for an extra hour, and one hour is six coins, so it is twelve coins, and together it is 190 two coins!"

"The food expenses for twelve days is sixty yuan? Then one day's food is five yuan for noodles in broth. Dare I ask Guanshi Yang, does the meal on the pier contain meat?"

Guanshi Yang didn't expect that there would be a little girl with a disfigured appearance who dared to question him, so he naturally got angry.

He raised his voice, "Who are you?"

"I'm Tang Gu's younger sister!" Tang Mi looked at Steward Yang without any stage fright and said, "The steward will also be a big business person in the future, so there's no reason to cheat my brother with these tens of pennies, right?"

"Although there is no shortage of workers on the pier, there are also many bosses recently! I heard from people in Shanghe Village that the Lord of Shanghe Village hates dishonest people the most. Presumably the person in charge doesn't want your reputation to spread to his ears. Bar?"

Tang Mi had heard many people mention the matter of this Lord of Shanghe Village, and they almost praised him as a god.

But no matter what, as long as good things are added to this adult, no one will be absolutely wrong.

Tang Mi has the taste of a fox pretending to be a tiger.

Steward Yang's face was extremely ugly, and some workers around heard the noise and looked over one after another.

Tang Gu was a little anxious, he secretly tugged at his sister's clothes, but subconsciously stood in front of Tang Mi, worried that Tang Mi would suffer.

Although he felt that it was wrong for Tang Mi to do so, he did not stop Tang Mi's words, because he was unwilling to criticize his sister in front of outsiders, and her sister did this for his own good.

"Hmph, something you don't know!" Manager Yang naturally didn't want to make a big fuss, after all, the people who came and went on the pier recently were either rich or expensive, so he counted another forty pennies from his bag and threw it on the table, " Take it and go!"

Tang Mi picked up the copper coins from the table, and made some calculations in her heart, but she still didn't intend to leave.

Coarse grain steamed buns cost only one penny each, and the money was obviously wrong, and twenty pennies were missing.

If she doesn't leave, there will be more people watching the fun.

In fact, these days, there are also people who have been tricked by Yang Guanshi, all of them are like Tang Gu, dare not speak out.

After all, they still have to continue to discuss life.

Some people think that Tang Gu is in a bad situation, and he will definitely not be able to find a job in the hands of Manager Yang in the future.Tang Gu is also really confused, how can he let his sister do something wrong?

"Why don't you leave?" Steward Yang also held his breath, his voice getting louder, "You want to blackmail me?"

"You are still short of twenty coins!" Tang Mi said, "The steamed buns cost one penny, and twelve days are only twelve coins. After deducting the food expenses, you should give my brother 180 coins!"

Guanshi Yang has never seen such an unforgiving little girl, if it was in the past, he would definitely drive her out with his own hands.

But just as Tang Mi said, the adult of Shanghe Village made it clear that he didn't want to disturb the people in the village this time when he returned to his hometown, and he even made it clear that he would be polite to the people in the village and not allow his subordinates to bully women and children .

"Let's see!" Steward Yang gave another [-] Wen to Tang Mi, apparently with a grudge.

Tang Mi took the twenty Wen, but said to Guanshi Yang, "Thank you!"

She dragged Tang Gu away from the pier, not paying any attention to the eyes behind her, but Tang Gu's anxious eyes were red, "Sister, I'm fine, I'm fine!"

"Brother!" Tang Mi said seriously, "We don't take this offense, let's do our own business!"
