I traveled to a very nice farm, and I was so happy to fight evil with evil

Of the four brothers of the Lu family, the eldest and the fourth came to the county town, while the second and the third went to the town.

The eldest and fourth son of the Lu family each brought their sons to set up stalls in two busy markets in the county town.

This kind of market has fixed stalls as well as some temporary ones.

The temporary location is not too bad, and you only have to pay five cents to place it there.

They took out the candles and placed them on the table. As Qiao Ye had said, they took one and lit it as a sample.

Then he shouted that the candles were cheap, only fifteen cents each.

Although the county town is not as prosperous as the provincial capital and the capital, there are still many wealthy families.

I don’t like using oil lamps, I always buy candles.

The cheapest one is twenty cents, and the more expensive ones are dozens of cents.

Now seeing that Lu Laosi and his friends only buy fifteen cents, the burning time is not much different from that of the ones that buy twenty or thirty cents.

Then gradually people started to buy it.

At this moment, Lu Laosi was serving two customers a few candles and collecting their money when he noticed someone coming from the side.

He turned around and asked with a smile: "How many do you want to buy?"

After asking, he found out it was Lu Mei. He was stunned for a moment, "Daya!"

When Lu Mei saw her fourth uncle, she thought they were here to sell bamboo baskets or something again.

When I got closer, I found that they were actually selling candles.

So I couldn't help but ask: "Uncle, why are you selling candles here? Where do you get them?"

Lu Laosi is the most shrewd one among the four brothers.

Normally, whenever there is something going on, it is always the brothers who take the lead.

He had long been dissatisfied with his family's continued subsidies to the fifth brother's family.

So outside of the busy farming season, the eldest son does carpentry work, the third son repairs houses for others, and the second son weaves straw baskets to earn money to supplement the family.

He did not learn anything else, but deliberately learned the simple art of basket weaving from the second oldest brother so that he would not have to work as hard as the other three brothers.

When doing farm work, he is not as hard-working as his other brothers.

I really don't want to subsidize the fifth child wholeheartedly.

Therefore, he also agreed with what was said to Wulang's wife before.

Especially yesterday when I saw the wealthy life of Lao Wu’s family, I couldn’t help but think of their hard days.

What's more, Lao Wu was reluctant to even spend three taels of silver on them.

While making him feel disappointed, he also concluded that Lao Wu had no conscience.

They are unreliable now, and even if we become prosperous in the future, I'm afraid they won't be able to benefit much from it.

It’s better to follow Wulang’s wife.

At least I ate well and well last night and this morning.

I came here to sell candles. Business wasn’t that great, but I still managed to sell a few.

The money earned is real.

Therefore, when he saw Lu Daya, his heart skipped a beat.

The first thought that came to my mind was what would happen if Lao Wu’s family knew that they were making candles to sell.

I'm afraid that in a few days, Lao Wu will have to take his family back to beg for money.

Given Lao Wu's personality, he will definitely find a way to get the three taels of silver he spent yesterday back from the old lady.

So we can’t let Laowu’s family know.

He has never liked his niece Lu Mei, who only knows how to betray her.

So he said to Lu Mei coldly: "We know a peddler who brought a batch of cheap candles from another place and asked us to help sell them."

"We are paid ten cents a day. The farm work has not been very busy recently, so we are here to help sell the crops."

When Lu Mei heard that it was only ten cents a day, she curled her lips in her heart, thinking it was so little.

Then he turned his eyes and said, "Uncle, we have just run out of candles. Can you give me a few?"

It was clear to Lu Laosi that his eldest niece wanted to take it for free.

In the past, this eldest niece often followed the fifth brother back to his hometown to beg for money, which was particularly unpopular.

His expression remained unchanged as he said, "15 cents a stick, how many do you want?"

"This candle is just not as pretty as the ones in the store. They burn almost the same, but they are much cheaper."

"Your husband is a scholar, so you can buy a few more to keep for later use."

If you want to get it for free, you’re dreaming.

Lu Mei was unhappy when she heard this, "Uncle, it's just a few candles, why are you asking me for money?"

"My father and brother are also scholars. I was thinking of sending them a few."

Because there are scholars here and they don’t like using oil lamps.

The two families consume a lot of candles every month, so naturally they want to get a few more for free.

Lu Lao Si also said unhappily: "We are selling this for others."

"I'll give you a few, and when we settle accounts with them, I'll have to pay for it."

Seeing that Lu Mei wanted to talk, he added: "The money in the family is all with the old lady. I don't have the money to subsidize you."

"Your husband's family is so well-off. It's just a few candles. Can't you afford it?"

Lu Mei thought, of course she could afford it, but if she could get it for free, why not take it?

But looking at Fourth Uncle's expression, there's no way he'd let her take it for free.

So her eyes twinkled, "I don't know if there are any at home, I'll go back and check."

“If it’s gone, I’ll come back to buy more.”

She added, "Fourth Uncle, I have something else to do and I'll leave first."

Lu Laosi waved his hand at her and said, "Let's go."

He was still waiting to greet other guests.

Lu Mei did not go home, but went to her mother's house.

The whole family was there at that moment, and as soon as she entered the door, she told them about Lu Laosi selling candles.

Lu Qingrong was surprised. "When did they know a businessman?"

Lu Mei shook her head. "I don't know. Fourth Uncle didn't tell me."

"Dad, I think that candle is pretty good."

"Why don't you go take a look? Get some from your fourth uncle."

Lu Qingrong usually doesn't care about the shopping at home. He turned to look at Yu Wanzhi.

Yu Wanzhi smiled and said, "Our family spends hundreds of coins worth of candles every month, and the ones we bought last time are almost gone."

"I'm thinking of buying some from the store in a couple of days."

She had the same idea as her stepdaughter: if she could get something for free, she certainly wouldn't let it go.

Because he has been supported by the Lu family all these years.

Therefore, she had long regarded almost all of the Lu family's money as belonging to their family.

After all, her husband has become successful, and the people in her hometown are proud of him and can benefit from his success.

She spent more than three taels of silver on medicine yesterday and was so angry that she couldn't sleep well all night.

Go get some extra candles as interest today.

After a few days, let the husband go back to the village to coax the old lady and bring back some money from her.

Hearing her say this, Lu Qingrong thought about saving as much as possible.

So he stood up and said, "Then I'll go to the market and take a look."

Lu Mei stood up quickly and said, "Dad, I'll take you there."

After his father took them, she would take a few back.

When the two arrived at the market, they saw a lot of people buying candles at Lu Laosi's stall.

So I walked over.

Lu Laosi also saw Laowu and thought it was really bad luck.

Lu Qingrong walked up and asked with a smile: "Fourth brother, your business looks good.'

Lu Lao Si said with a fake smile: "This is not my business. We are also selling it for others."

As soon as he saw Daya behind Laowu, he knew that this girl had not given up yet.

Alas, it seems that Wu Lang really has good things coming out of bad ones, and Lao Wu and Daya are of the same character.

Lu Qingrong was not in a hurry to ask for candles.

Instead, he pulled Lu Lao Si aside and whispered, "Fourth Brother, how much do you get for this candle?"

Lu Laosi frowned, "What do you mean?"

Lu Qingrong asked, "How much money did you make from one?"

It would be great if the family could have this extra income.

However, he wanted to know clearly how much the fourth brother could earn from one candle so that he would have a rough idea.

Lu Laosi was speechless, "If you don't make any money, just give me ten cents a day."

Lu Qingrong didn't believe it. "Fourth brother, we are a family and we don't talk behind each other's backs. You are the smartest among the brothers."

"Would you sell it without adding more?"

Anyway, he didn't believe that the fourth brother would honestly sell it at that price.

He also had some doubts as to whether there were any people doing business there.
