Sweet and warm little peasant woman

Chapter 183 The Delicate Son

Chapter 183 The Delicate Son
"Are there any casualties?" Talent is the most important thing, Tong Xiaowu was startled and asked worriedly.

"No!" Shen Qiu's eyes were red, and a layer of blisters formed around his mouth. He was very anxious because of this two days.

There is no dry firewood around the cooperative, and there are few people. It can do fire prevention and theft prevention on weekdays. How could it suddenly catch fire?
"Accident, or intentional?"

"It was intentional. Two people were arrested on the spot, and now they have been turned over to the county government. They are not from us. Also, in the village, two looms were stolen, and one person was injured."

Shen Qiu looked up at Tong Xiaowu, with a guilty expression on his face: "These losses are not big, but there are one hundred bolts of cloth, five hundred catties of spinning thread, medicinal materials for dyeing, and houses in the cooperative. ...The landlord is looking for me, let me accompany her house, and the landlord next door.

Now your second sister's family has moved back to Zhangjia Village. I heard that Zhangjia Village is quite quiet. Those relatives of Zhang Jiande helped build roads, which is much better for the people in the village. This time your second sister's family moved back, so they came here The person who picked me up had visited several times before and helped a lot.

It's all my fault, it's because I didn't monitor enough, I was careless! "

"How much was lost in total?"

One thing is not over, another thing happened again, this timing is too coincidental, right?
"3000 taels..." After Shen Qiu finished speaking, his head could no longer be lowered. "That one hundred pieces of cloth is 2000 taels of silver."

Tong Xiaowu slammed her fist on the table heavily, 3000 taels of silver, really...

It took a long time for her to stabilize her mood, "It's okay, you can earn money when you run out of money, as long as people are okay!"

After finishing speaking, she turned to An Luo and said, "Mr. An, how much water do we have now?"

"The deposit refunded in the morning is 1000 taels. Last month, my son raised 800 taels to build the villa. After paying the wages once, we still have..." An Luo said as he sat on the side, holding the account book, and flipping through the abacus :
"We still have 5000 taels, ma'am, money is not a problem now, this hundred pieces of cloth is the key point, we still have an order to deliver in half a month, if the fabric cannot be delivered, there may be liquidated damages, this breach of contract The gold is not a small amount, but it is much higher than their deposit, and there is also the cotton money of the cotton farmers in a month, and it will be a bill at the end of the year, and I am afraid that it will not be able to make up by then."

"Provide 300 taels of silver to Chief Shen, and first pay for his house. Chief Shen, someone did this on purpose. You must strengthen your precautions when you go back, and the village must also do a good job of preventing theft and setting fires." Propaganda, come up with the methods of fighting robbers in the old life, and be more vigilant!"

"Yes, President Tong, I..." Shen Qiu burst into tears, his legs were bent, and he was about to kneel down: "This matter is all my fault, so much money, just like this, it's really all my fault..."

"Shen Lichang, get up quickly..." Tong Xiaowu supported his seriously ill body, and stepped forward to help him up. "Don't blame yourself, someone did this on purpose, just be careful next time!"

"Yeah, President, I must be careful in the future, and if someone tricks me again, I will definitely not let them go."

After Shen Qiu left, Tong Xiaowu looked at Xiao Junyi who was sleeping on the table, and called An Luo and the two to the east study:

"Mr. An, Yuchen has gone out to investigate the poisoning case. I don't trust others, so I will leave it to you. You go to Rongshui County, communicate with the county magistrate secretly, and secretly kill the two people who set fire Bring it up to me, there are some things, let's check it ourselves..."

"Yes, ma'am..."

At noon, Xiao Junyi had lunch here. Qingxiu cooked a table full of food for him, but he was still dissatisfied. After eating, he opened his mouth to play:

"Tong Xiaowu, let me tell you, when you treat me to a meal worth more than 1000 taels of silver, our enmity will be over, otherwise we will never get over it."

After speaking, the young master flicked his sleeves and left.

Seeing him like this, Qingxiu muttered angrily, "Sure enough, he is the young master of a wealthy family, he cares about little things like this, it's endless..."

The corners of Tong Xiaowu's mouth curled up, and she shook her head, "Although he was talking about his injury, I feel that he was really hungry today, so he came here to eat."

You can tell by the way he eats!

"Won't he go to a restaurant to eat when he's hungry?" Qingxiu asked while tidying up the dishes.

"Probably can't go!"

Xiao Junyi, who is usually clean, had a pair of white boots stained with dirt today, a wood chip on his head, and a bloodstain on the back of his hand. He presumably did this when he ran away in a hurry.

And he had nowhere to go, that's why he thought of Yuebaili Buzhuang. After entering the Buzhuang, he could enter the inner courtyard. The people chasing him outside probably couldn't find him when he came in. He was embarrassed to come in and search, so he guarded outside the store.

Although Xiao Junyi is not very old, he is very smart. He naturally knew that those people would not leave obediently, so he wanted to procrastinate and just beg for food. While saving face, I also took a meal by the way.

As for who drove him like this?Seeing that he didn't have any complaints and didn't disturb the government, the answer was obvious. The person who sent people to arrest him should be his family members, and this family member should be his elders.

After noon, Qingxiu cleaned up the house, and Xiaohe took care of Tong Xiaowu to rest, "Girl, you can't be so tired, why don't you sleep for a while?"

"Okay!" No matter what, she must take good care of herself. Only when she gets better can she smash the bad intentions of those criminals.

From this moment on, Tong Xiaowu took medicine on time, drank mung bean soup, took supplements, and secretly exercised behind Qingxiu and Xiaohe's back. who?In the dark, all kinds of stumbling blocks for themselves.

But one thing is also very tricky. One hundred pieces of cloth may not seem like a lot, but they are worth a lot of money. One piece of cloth is 33 meters, and the least new fabric can be bought for more than 60 yuan for one meter of cloth. It’s about 20 taels, and one hundred pieces is more than 2000 taels, and it takes half a month for farmers to weave a piece of cloth at the fastest. What about the delivery of the order?
The latest batch of orders is [-] horses, ten days later!

"Come here, count all the new fabrics in the store, and give me the statistics."

The next day, Tong Xiaowu barely slept, Rongshui County was already like that, and she couldn't change anything, but the three hundred pieces of cloth had to be delivered on time, otherwise the loss would be even greater.

"Invite Mr. Wei in!" After spending a whole day, Tong Xiaowu decided to put in all his efforts to weave the new cloth for the order within ten days.

This Mr. Wei is in his 20s, and he met Tong Xiaowu in the refugee group when he was giving porridge. He is literate, thoughtful, filial and simple.
