Don't worry about traveling through time, she has an all-powerful senior sister to help her
Chapter 74 Long Memory
"Little Bamboo." Are you really moving back? Aren't you afraid of being punished by your mother to kneel and write big characters again?
Shen Xianzhu hurried over and saw that his seventh uncle had also followed him. "Seventh uncle, don't mind it."
Shen He waved his hands and said, "Xiao Zhuzi's words make sense. Since it's a gift, just get a better red-painted bellows so that Aunt San can't say anything.
After all, I will only charge you the price of the wood."
Shen Xianzhu still had some doubts, while Shen Lingzhu walked into the newly built shed and exchanged a few words with a carpenter. Then the two of them picked out a bright red painted bellows on the spot and made a small mark on the bottom of the box.
Just think of it as her petty intentions. Giving it to the gentleman and sending it to the carpenter will have completely different results.
When she moved it to Shen He, Shen Xianzhu looked at her deeply several times.
After sending the person away, he pulled his sister back to the courtyard and said, "Xiao Zhuzi, are you just going to give me something better?
Aren't you afraid that after Third Grandma is sent to the county town, others will learn from her?"
Shen Lingzhu was a little embarrassed, "Well, to be honest, big brother, I must come back and not give it to you before I let you go, but...big aunt is right, you have to consider the consequences before doing anything, even if it's just a little bit.
You see, last time, I was so happy that I forgot everything and ran to show off the one or two taels of silver I earned from selling rocking chairs to my uncle.
If my uncle said something that didn't suit my taste, I'd run down the mountain, leaving my brothers on the mountain unsupervised. Conflicts ensued, and some people got hurt."
Fortunately, the elder brother of the Chang family was not seriously injured and has now fully recovered and is not affected by anything.
But that very night after the incident, she was punished by her aunt, who had always been against corporal punishment, to kneel for an hour and write big characters while kneeling.
Moreover, even though my senior sister had clearly stopped me from looking for my uncle, I was still punished for half an hour.
Shen Lingzhu's knees hurt for several days afterwards, and the pain was much worse than when her senior sister pinched her in anger.
The pain made her really remember to listen to what she was told. She should not act rashly when encountering problems. Being impulsive will only hurt others and herself.
Look at this time, Shen Baizhu, who also did not listen to his elders, secretly made a rocking chair to sell, but made a fake one and injured his third grandmother.
These are all profound lessons!
"Brother, we'll wait until my second sister finishes her studies tomorrow morning, then we'll take a large number of bellows to the county town to sell.
Even if someone opened the Third Grandma's gift today, it would be impossible to make it all at once, and even if they made it, it wouldn't be as much as we made.
Besides, the bellows were actually compensated by Third Uncle, and we can’t let him make a promise to Third Grandma and then lose face.”
From late June to today, for more than 20 days, the family has been working in two shifts to make bellows. Even during the days of building the house, they would rather move to a place farther away to saw wood boards and never stopped.
It took a lot of effort to make more than 500 of them, so that they can become a hit in the county and continue to sell for a while.
Shen Lingzhu believes that specially made solid wood rocking chairs will also sell well.
Shen Xianzhu patted her shoulder, pushed her home, and said, "You're right to think so. The last few times we were at the big market, if we didn't sell 200, we sold at least 180. Who can guarantee that no one has figured it out?
Or send it to relatives in the county town." The latter point is more difficult. When villagers from dozens of villages go to visit relatives in the county town, they usually prepare new rice, new flour, fruits and the like.
Moreover, now the bellows are not only sold on the ninth day of the ninth month, but are also sold on the other two days. They are also placed next to Uncle Huang’s meat stall, and Xia Wang leads a few teenagers to sell them.
"Of course I'm not afraid. The best carpenters within a radius of thirty miles all work in our house." Shen Lingzhu had to admit that his grandfather was very experienced. When he hired carpenters, he brought all the good hands from the neighborhood to his family.
In this way, potential competitors do not exist, and ordinary people would not be willing to take apart and study the bellows that they bought for a hundred coins.
When Shen Lingzhu said the word "the best", the carpenters who were working in the west wing shed couldn't help but laugh.
Someone said, "Miss Shen, we don't even need to think about it now. We can do it with our eyes closed."
At first, most of them only wanted to take the high salary of two taels a month, because they would remember everything they had done.
When the one-year confidentiality agreement signed with the Jinshi gentleman expires, I can still make bellows and sell them.
However, after seeing the various styles of rocking chairs drawn by Miss Shen herself, half of the people were tempted and wanted the Shen family's drawings without asking for any wages.
"I know how powerful all of you masters are." Shen Lingzhu bowed and responded to everyone, then said to Shen Xianzhu:
“There are so many people working in the same industry, so the best way to win is for us to strive for excellence ourselves.
So, big brother, start sanding the wood." As he said this, he handed over a piece of walnut wood.
The two siblings were actively preparing for tomorrow's trip to the county town, and were diligently helping the carpenters.
At about the same time, Shen He brought a brand new bellows to Aunt San to see. The old lady saw that it was painted red and accepted the apology with satisfaction.
When everyone saw that she was not in any serious condition and were about to say goodbye and leave, the old lady called out to Mrs. Hu.
Mrs. Hu thought she had something important to tell her, but unexpectedly, she was asking her to pay Shen Xiao and his wife their wages directly next time.
"Third Aunt, it's best if whoever does the work gets paid." Shen Miaozhu saw her aunt frowning, so she spoke for her.
The third grandmother said: "My parents have no private wealth, so it is the same if they give it to me."
Shen Xiao's wife, who happened to be carrying the medicine, heard this. She took a deep breath and said, "Mother, we have already handed over 80% of it as you asked. The remaining amount is to be saved for Jian Zhu to see his leg."
“Her leg has been lame for more than two years, and there’s no point in seeing a doctor.
And are you going to pay 80%? In front of the Wuhuai family, are you saying yes? " Third Grandma put the medicine bowl heavily on the table.
Shen Xiao's wife clenched her fists tightly and gave Shen Miaozhu a look for help: "Why isn't it 80%? The child's father and I get 30 cents a day, and Jian Zhu and the other two are eating at the fifth sister-in-law's house."
Shen Miaozhu and her aunt exchanged a glance, realizing that this was the wages that Shiwen and Jian Zhu had concealed.
Before, Xiao Zhuzi wanted to give Jian Zhu ten cents every day, but Aunt Jiu refused to let her take it, so they secretly gave Jian Zhu a string of money at the end of June.
The Third Grandma suddenly shouted, "Do you dare to swear on your deceased parents that only thirty cents a day for the two of them?"
"I……"
"What? I asked Shen Du's wife today. She said that the day laborer earned 30 coins. Did you eat the 10 coins she gave you?
Wu Huai's family, how much do you think it costs per day?"
"Third aunt..." Mrs. Hu didn't intend to say it.
Shen Xiao's wife did not want to embarrass her and interrupted, "Yes, I ate it, for my daughter.
If you had not taken the one hundred taels that Fifth Sister-in-law sent you and given it to Third Brother to spend, my daughter's leg would have been healed long ago."
"You..." Third Grandma stood up and pointed at her.
Shen Miaozhu and Hu Shi felt they couldn't stay any longer. When they were about to leave, Jian Zhangniang, who had just heard the noise, pushed the door open and said, "Sister-in-law, keep your voice down."
"Shut up, I'm working to make sure my daughter's legs are clean. I won't use other people's life-saving money to treat them to food and drinks. You can't even pass the county exam." The last sentence of Shen Xiao's wife angered the third grandmother.
She raised her hand and slapped her daughter-in-law. Shen Miaozhu was quick to hug her: "Aunt Jiu."
Unexpectedly, the Third Grandma was quite strong and when she broke free from Shen Miaozhu, she threw her towards Hu.
Inertia forced Shen Miaozhu, unable to stop, to throw herself at Hu's stomach: "Auntie!"
