Big businessman and little fisherman

Chapter 13 Cotton Cloth
This time, it was Lu Yange and Lu Xiaoyu who came to deliver the zong leaves with baskets.

They picked another full basket, and Lu Yange gave Aunt Ding ten handfuls of zongzi leaves with five cents, and made a few mats for zongzi.

Aunt Ding was really happy to see that Lu Xiaosi was so good at doing things.On the recommendation of Mrs. Ding, she even sold it and gave it away, and sold another twenty copper coins.

He was so happy that Lu Xiaoyu didn't know what to do.

Before leaving, Lu Yange bought pig feet and the remaining pig bones at Aunt Ding's house.

Aunt Ding was coaxed by Lu Yange to smile one by one, and proudly gave them the pig intestines that were not sold today.

When the weather is hot, the offal that cannot be sold will become stale after a long time, so it is better to give it away.

Sending it off to anyone is a gift, it's better to give it to the child of the Lu family, who said that this child has a sweet mouth, and he has grown up in her heart!

Lu Xiaoyu, who followed Lu Yange to deliver things, was so happy that he almost kowtowed to Aunt Ding and recognized Aunt Ding as her real grandmother.

This family is really nice, her family has meat!

After buying pig's knuckles and pig's bones, Lu Yange led Lu Xiaoyu around the street again, and spent another three Wen on seasonings.

Passing by the cloth shop, the shopkeeper was holding a feather duster and chasing after the boy in the shop to smoke.

The little boy was only thirteen or fourteen years old, and he was screaming and screaming after being whipped by the shopkeeper, but he didn't dare to resist, he just huddled in a corner of the shop and howled softly.

"Conscientious thing, if your mother hadn't begged me, I would have accepted you as a buddy?"

The shopkeeper of the cloth shop had a short, fat and round body, and he panted heavily when he spoke, and his panting got worse because of the exhaustion from beating someone.

"You said, I asked you to take a good look at the fabric. You were lazy at night, and my good fabric was ruined. You have no conscience, you are killing me."

The little guy didn't resist when he was beaten, but he couldn't help raising his head when he was scolded, and he argued indignantly: "Uncle, it's not my fault, that cloth was put by my cousin in the warehouse on the left. If it wasn't for my cousin a few days ago Kick the rhubarb to death, how can the warehouse be wasted..."

"You still say, you still say..."

It's fine if the boy doesn't refute, the more he refutes, the harder the shopkeeper's feather duster will be swung, "You're still stubborn when you do something wrong, is that what your mother taught you?"

This shopkeeper, even though he is panting badly, he is really good at beating people.

The feather duster was almost turning into an afterimage, and bloodstains were faintly showing on the boy's thin clothes.

Lu Yange frowned, couldn't help but raised his hand and picked up a lump of dirt and threw it into the shop, which happened to hit the shopkeeper's foot.

"Who?"

Shopkeeper Luo held up a feather duster and looked at the crowd outside.

No one spoke, even Lu Yange, who threw your lumps, folded his arms, as if I didn't know, I didn't see it.

"**of,"

Shopkeeper Luo cursed fiercely, and held up the feather duster and was about to wave it at the boy again.

The proprietress of the rouge shop next to the cloth shop couldn't stand it anymore, and couldn't help but push her man: "Why don't you go up and stop him."

The shopkeeper of the rouge shop was pushed by his daughter-in-law, and he couldn't help but stepped forward to fight: "Okay, okay, if you continue to fight, your only nephew will definitely be beaten to death by you."

"If you kill it, it's useless."

Pulled by the shopkeeper of the rouge shop, the shopkeeper of the cloth shop kicked the boy pantingly and spat hard.

He turned his head and complained to the shopkeeper of the rouge shop: "You say, I am just such a nephew, can I not love him? His father has been dead for a few years, if I hadn't relied on me to take care of the family, my frail sister , and her blind mother-in-law can support this family?"

What he said was righteous, and people who didn't know the inside story nodded frequently, thinking that the shopkeeper of the cloth shop was a good uncle.

The brother-in-law died, leaving only a blind mother, a sickly elder sister, and a young nephew in the family.

In the past two years, there have been many natural and man-made disasters. Without the help of his uncle, the whole family would not be able to survive.

Only the left and right neighbors who knew the inside story couldn't help but sneered: "It's as if his shop wasn't set up by his sister and brother-in-law."

"That is, how poor the Luo family was back then, it wasn't because Luo Huiniang married Dong Da that the Luo family could have enough to eat."

The proprietress of the rouge shop who had already returned to the crowd couldn't hold back and said, "What's his sister and brother-in-law Zhang Luo? It's obvious that this shop belongs to the Dong family."

"what?"

When the proprietress of the rouge shop said this, most people were startled.

The town of Jiangjiaba is not that big. When the cloth shop was open, they saw shopkeeper Luo rushing in and out. Why doesn't this shop belong to him?

Maybe shopkeeper Luo is unpopular, or maybe he really did not behave properly in this matter.

The lady proprietress of the rouge shop didn't speak, but someone else could not wait to speak first: "I heard that this cloth shop was actually set up by Dong Da for Hui Niang, and Luo Hui Niang is also kind-hearted, so let her, the only brother from her mother's family, come to manage the shop. Who knew that Dong Da and his son had an accident in the sea when they ran a boat, and the bodies were lost, so this cloth shop was taken by Hui Niang and her brothers, so it must be said that Dong Da sold it to him in the first place."

"I've heard about this too. At that time, the Dong family had just had an accident. Not to mention that there was no man to help the family, even those merchants who followed Dong Da on the boat were able to flatten the Dong family. Waiting for the Dong family to finally After selling the family property and paying for the money, if I come to ask for this shop again, how can the surname Luo give it to..."

It turned out to be like this!

The onlookers couldn't help feeling displeased with the short and fat shopkeeper Luo, and couldn't help pointing and discussing in a low voice.

Xu Shi spoke a little loudly outside, and was overheard by Shopkeeper Luo.Or shopkeeper Luo sensed that something was wrong, and he actually left the shopkeeper of the Rouge Shop who was talking, and walked in front of everyone holding a bolt of white material on the counter.

"Everyone, look at my material. It is the best cotton material. I bought it from Yangzhou for this color and softness. Now my nephew, who is not up to date, doesn't like it and damages it." It’s no wonder that I want to beat him, it really hurts my heart!”

Everyone was still puzzled by Shopkeeper Luo's meaning, so they saw him raising the white cloth in his hand to show some damage and yellow spots on it: "Now my white cloth has been damaged by my disappointing nephew. There are several horses, don’t blame me for wanting to beat him, it really hurts my heart!”

Someone boldly shouted immediately: "It's my heart that hurts, you can't beat the child like this, there is only one seedling left in the Dong family."

"Aren't I in a hurry?" Shopkeeper Luo said innocently.

"The child in the family has been beaten and scolded, and he can't be made to lose money. I thought, or this cloth can be sold to the big guy at a cheaper price."

When shopkeeper Luo said that he was going to sell cloth, everyone immediately took a few steps back.

Shopkeeper Luo is selfish and stingy, no one can take advantage of him.

Instead, it was Lu Yange, whose eyes lit up when he looked at the cotton cloth in Shopkeeper Luo's hand.

Xiao Wu is naked until now, if he can buy some cheap cloth and go back to make clothes for him, it will be considered a good day's work.
