Chapter 78 Resolved
"My daughter said to sell these items for now, and then add more later. When my brother goes back later, he will bring some to try. They are all made at home, and they are not worth the money."

"That's so funny."

"What relationship do we have with each other? Do you still care about this?"

In the end, Shopkeeper Niu didn't refuse. Su Laoer was not just being polite. He took a basket and picked up two pieces of bacon, a bunch of sausages, a pack of pork jerky, twenty salted duck eggs and preserved eggs, and five pieces of soap. pieces, which adds up to almost a basket.

"Enough is enough, I don't need that much."

"They are all made at home. If you feel it tastes good after eating, you can come over and get it. This is my new servant, named Li Quan. Now he specializes in selling things in the shop."

After speaking, he turned to Li Quan again.

"Next time Shopkeeper Niu comes to pick up the goods, you don't need to pay the cashier, you know?"

"Understood, sir."

Su Lao Er is a kind person, if there is no shopkeeper Niu, his family would not be able to earn so much money now.

Shopkeeper Niu knew that Su Lao Er was a real person, and he was not polite to him when he took the things today, but he didn't plan to take things from the Su's shop in the future, if he did, he would be ignorant.

Li Quan was very winking, and after opening the door, he hurried to the backyard to boil water and make tea. The two of them were fine, so they sat in the shop and drank tea.

"Brother Su, why haven't you seen your daughter come to town during this time?"

"My daughter caught a cold two days ago. The doctor told her to rest at home, so she won't go out during this period."

The family's public opinion was that they had a cold, and when the shopkeeper Niu asked, the second child Su also said so.

"You should rest more when you are sick, and you are right to listen to the doctor's advice."

Shopkeeper Niu thought it was strange that the girl didn't come with his father because of something like this. It turned out to be sick.

The two were still talking, Li Quan's eyes were sharp, and he immediately saw the two people who came yesterday. At this time, they had already entered the shop with one foot.

"Master, here comes the two of them."

Zhang Zhao and Ma Liu work under Mr. Liang. They are responsible for collecting protection fees in the East Street area. They know exactly which shop does what, who is the owner, and which boss in the Yamen is involved with them. .If you don't know who you have offended, and don't talk about others, Mr. Liang will not let them go.This shop was newly opened, and they had not met the owner behind it. They just heard that he came from the countryside, so the two of them did not inquire carefully. In their opinion, what background did a country man with mud legs have?

As soon as the two of them entered the shop, Zhang Zhao immediately saw shopkeeper Niu sitting in the shop, and his aura immediately changed.

"Isn't this the shopkeeper Niu? You also come to the shop to buy food."

A brawny man with a thick beard and a thick beard made a nod and bow, and the second child Su felt that he didn't see it.

"I haven't seen you for a few days, but you are really promising. All the protection money you collected came to my brother's shop."

"Look at what you said. If I had known that this shop was owned by your brother, if I had given him a hundred courage, I wouldn't have dared to come to collect protection money."

Shopkeeper Niu snorted coldly.

"Then you have to remember, this shop is opened by my brother, if there are those short-sighted people who dare to offend me in the future, I will have to drink tea at your Lord Liang's house."

"Don't worry, if there's that short-sighted guy looking for trouble, you have to ask us brothers first if we agree!"

"Yes Yes Yes."

Ma Liu was a slow-tongued person. Apart from echoing Zhang Zhao, he did not dare to say anything else for fear of saying the wrong thing.

Su Laoer originally thought that after the person came in, the two sides would have to argue for a few words, but he didn't expect that the other party looked at the big and three rough, and didn't even dare to fart in front of the shopkeeper Niu.

"Okay, you have nothing to do here."

"The little one will go back first."

"and many more."

The two of them turned around and were about to leave, but when they heard the voice coming from behind, they suddenly thought, "Is everything going to be okay?"The two of them thought about yesterday carefully. Fortunately, they only said a few harsh words and didn't do anything. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to talk about today.The two of them never imagined that in a small shop, the owner was a countryman, but he was brothers with the shopkeeper Niu from Taihe Building.Although Shopkeeper Niu was just a shopkeeper, he had a good relationship with the county master. It was because they were careless and did not inquire in advance.

Su Laoer stopped the two of them, took two pieces of bacon from the cabinet, stepped forward and stuffed one piece into each person's hand.

"The two of you should try it at home, it's made by yourself."

A piece of bacon was suddenly stuffed into the hands of the two of them, and they didn't react for a moment. They had been collecting protection fees for so long, and they had never seen anyone else give bacon to them, but Shopkeeper Niu didn't dare to say anything at this moment.

The two hand in hand.

"Thank you, Mr. Su, for seeing me off. If there is anything to do in the shop in the future, just go to the Liang Mansion on Dongjie Street to look for our brother. My name is Zhang Zhao, and this is my brother Ma Liu. You only need to report our names when the time comes."

The two of them didn't wait long after they finished talking, and they didn't know how to explain to Master Liang later.

Seeing that there was nothing going on in the shop, shopkeeper Niu couldn't sit still. There was still a lot of things waiting for him in the restaurant.

"Brother Su, if there is anything going on in the shop in the future, you can ask this kid to go to Taihe Building to talk about it. It's not that my brother is boasting. There is nothing I can't do in Xinglin Town, so I will go back first."

"Success, brother, go slowly."

After seeing off Shopkeeper Niu, Su Laoer exchanged a few words with Li Quan and then went back. He was thinking about his daughter and was not comfortable staying in the town. When he got home, he saw his daughter lying on the deck chair in the yard, having a child. Beside him, he felt relieved.

"Father, is the matter resolved?"

"It's solved. You didn't see it. When those two people saw Shopkeeper Niu nodding and bowing, Shopkeeper Niu solved the problem in just two words."

"It's fine."

"How does my daughter feel today? Is there any discomfort in your body?"

"I'm fine. Nothing happened. Don't scare yourself. Uncle Yu's medical skills are pretty good. He said he can cure me if he can cure me."

"Well, Dad also believes in Doctor Yu."

"Dad, I just went for a walk on the back hillside when I had nothing to do. The radish seedlings are growing quite well. It looks like they can be thinned out. If there are not enough people at home, you can go to the village and find some people."

Su Laoer was worried about his daughter these days, but he forgot about the radishes planted on the back hillside. Fortunately, his daughter reminded him.

"Okay, I'll go to the village to find a few people later, and we'll finish it in one day."

After Su Laoer had lunch at home, he went to the village. He originally wanted to recruit people, but he thought that the free labor would not go to waste, so he went to Yu Zheng's house first.

"Brother Zheng is at home?"

Seeing that the gate of the courtyard was closed, Second Su yelled inside.

Hearing Su Laoer's voice, Qinglin hurried to open the courtyard door.

"Uncle Su, why are you here?"

"Where's your master?"

"My master is taking a nap, why don't Uncle Su go in and wait."

"I won't go in. I'm just here to tell you that seedlings will start to be thinned on the hillside behind the house tomorrow. You and your master will go over there to help."

"Okay, when the master wakes up, I will tell him."

After the explanation, Su Laoer thought, adding two masters and servants, and recruiting three or two would be enough.

"Hey, isn't that Su Lao Er? Why did he come to the village?"

Fan said doubtfully.

"Xu, what's the matter?"

Mr. Jiang continued smoothly, but Mr. Mao on the side slapped his thigh.

"He must have come to the village to recruit people."

As we all know, the Su family is very busy. It is not easy to meet people from the Su family in the village unless it is recruiting people.

The other two people were fine when they heard this.

"Second brother, what are you doing?"

Su Laoer just walked with his head down and didn't notice the three people sitting under the tree next to him. Then he heard a sound and looked up and saw that it was three women from the village.

"The three aunts are busy, I will go to the village to recruit two."

The three of them were all in their 50s, not much different from Mrs. Su, and it made sense for Su's second child to be called aunt.

"Second brother, why is your family recruiting people?"

"The radish seedlings can be thinned now. Find someone to thin them."

"Look at the three of us. The work of thinning seedlings is easy, and we can do it too."

The work of Jian Miao was indeed not heavy. Su Lao Er thought of the three people's behavior in the village and immediately agreed.

"Okay, you can come over tomorrow morning. The day's wages are twenty cents, and my family won't provide food at noon."

The three of them laughed. They didn't expect that such a good thing would happen while sitting and chatting.
