MTL - Traveling Through Ancient Times To Be a Shopkeeper-Chapter 52

The three Zhou Yong brothers were on vacation, received a month's wages, rushed to Qinghe Village, and returned before cooking dinner at home.

Zhou Yong's three brothers entered the courtyard, and Zhou Yuan's sister-in-law, Zhou Lishi, was surprised when she saw Zhou Yong and the others coming back!

"Husband, why are you coming back!"

When the elder sister-in-law Zhou Li called out, the second sister-in-law Zhou Yang and the third sister-in-law Zhou Wang came out one after another in the kitchen. Seeing that they were the heads of their families, they were happy to come forward to greet them.

The sharp eyes of the three women saw that the boss, Zhou Yong, was carrying meat and a few packs of greased paper.

Sister-in-law Zhou Li saw that Zhou Yong was carrying things among the three brothers, and mistakenly thought that Zhou Yong was the only one shopping and carrying home, and said angrily, "Why do you buy so many things?"

The elder sister-in-law Zhou Lishi stretched out her hand and wanted to **** the things from the head of the house. After buying meat, she had to cook it in the kitchen. It was really cheap for the second sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law. She wanted to carry the oil paper bag back to her room, because she didn't want to share it with others. It was something her eldest family bought.

Zhou Yong let it go: "The meat was cooked and eaten today. Candies and preserved fruits in oil paper bags are shared among everyone. The second and third younger brothers and I bought the things together."

The second sister-in-law Zhou Yangshi, the third sister-in-law Zhou Wangshiming were greedy for what the elder sister-in-law Zhou Lishi had, and they were also a little happy that they would have meat tonight without spending money. Shot, "Sister-in-law, we'll get it for you."

The three women shared the oil paper bags, and they insisted on holding one bag in each hand, lest someone secretly hide it.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother came out of the house and saw the three sons coming back full of energy. They were immediately very happy.

Zhou's mother glanced at the oil paper bags in the hands of the three daughters-in-law. The sons rarely come back a few times a month. She was happy and didn't bother to discipline the three daughters-in-law. bought?"

Zhou's mother would think so, because her son-in-law is very generous. The last time the three sons came back temporarily, they brought back a lot of sauces from the grocery store. The family uses sauces to cook vegetables every day. The villagers are envious of the smell.

Who in the village doesn't know that she is generous and often buys things for the son-in-law of the Yue family.

Zhou's mother would not have thought that the three sons bought it. The last time the three sons came back to tell the family that they had not officially started working for a long time, and they were selling goods in the county every day.

It's been half a month since I came back this time, and I don't think my sons have the money to buy such things to go home.

Zhou Yong smiled heartily: "Wei Cheng wants to buy it, but I won't let him buy it. This time, my son and his second and third brothers bought it together."

It's one thing for a brother-in-law not to be short of money, how can he let his brother-in-law spend money every time he comes back, he refuses Wei Cheng to buy things for them to bring back, even refuses to bring back the sauce.

Every time he came back from his brother-in-law's house carrying things, he knew that his brother-in-law was good to his brother, so good that he took care of the Yue family. The insiders are fine, but those who don't know think that he goes to his brother-in-law's house to play the autumn wind, which makes others think of his brother, and even makes up his brother behind his back, saying that his brother uses things from his husband's house to supplement his mother's family.

It's not good for the villagers to be hot-eyed.

And as a son, how can he be filial to his parents every time Wei Cheng takes the lead.

"Have you received your wages?" Father Zhou asked.

The second son, Zhou Shan, replied: "It's still my father who is amazing, and I guessed it right."

Zhou's father smiled like an old father, and his son's words were very pleasant.

Zhou Yong said to his parents: "My second and third brothers have all received wages, this time it's our three brothers' turn to buy delicious food and go home to honor you."

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother suddenly smiled, they didn't care how much their sons earned, and they were happy with their son's kindness.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother didn't ask Zhou Yong how much wages they received, but the elder sister-in-law Zhou Li's sister and sister-in-law were eager to know how much wages they received when they were in charge of the family.

"How much did you get paid?"

Sister-in-law Zhou Li's temperament is always the most irresistible among the three sisters-in-law.

The smiles of Zhou's father and Zhou's mother faded.

Zhou Yong glared at his daughter-in-law, and his sister-in-law Zhou Li's neck flinched. Ever since she had a quarrel with Brother Yuan last time, when Brother Yuan went back to the county seat alone, he found that her head would get angry with her, and he didn't scold her directly, and she couldn't say anything more without a look.

"Go back to the house and talk about it."

Zhou's father spoke, and Zhou's family members went back to the house.

The three Zhou Yong brothers took out the remaining wages from their pockets and put all the wages on the table. Looking at the silver taels and copper coins on the table, the family members exclaimed, "So much!"

Zhou Yong said: "This month, my second brother and I received two taels of wages. The third brother sells better than us, and received two taels and one hundred wen wages."

Zhou's father was surprised and asked: "Do you earn so much a month as a salesman?"

Or did the son-in-law raise his salary?

"Boss, tell the truth, is it because your son-in-law takes care of you in private and pays you a lot of money?" Zhou's mother and Zhou's father thought the same.

"Father, mother, are we that kind of people? Wei Cheng wants to give us more wages in private and we don't want it. This is what we earn hard. There is a corresponding commission for how many things we sell every day. Ours is not too much, There is a peddler named Wu Da. He has sold things from his brother-in-law before. The house he sells has accumulated many regular customers. It is much easier to sell than ours. My brother-in-law said that Wu Da opened the house In the regional market, his salary this month is three taels of silver."

"Three twos—!"

The Zhou family exclaimed again!

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother said to the eldest son that they sell things and accumulate customers... These words are not quite clear, but they still understand that the sons' wages are earned by their hard work.

It is a good thing that my son has gained a lot of knowledge when he goes to work with his son-in-law.

"Mother, I will leave the silver to you for collection. We have discussed it. We will hand over most of our monthly wages to you, and keep a small part for your own use. Most of it will be handed over to mother, and let mother help save it. When the children can come School literacy."

The three Zhou Yong brothers studied with their brother-in-law, and the most troublesome thing is to learn how to read every day. They know some, but most of them don't.

They are not as smart as their younger brothers, who are like their mothers. They were well-behaved and obedient when they were young, and they learned characters quickly. They all grew up wild in the village, and they would rather run out to play than to learn characters.

After learning business from my brother-in-law, I realized the importance of knowledge.

They handed over most of it to prevent their daughter-in-law from taking the money away. If they keep more, the money will be taken by their own daughter-in-law, and they will not secretly subsidize their mother's family if they take it.

Keeping hundreds of Wen for them is because they love them very much, no matter how bad they are, they are their daughter-in-laws and the mothers of their children.

"Okay, mother will save for you, if you don't have enough money, ask mother for more."

The three women watched Zhou's mother collect the money, and they didn't dare to bring up any dissatisfaction in their hearts. In the past, half of the money they earned was handed over to their households. Pain in the flesh.

This is silver. There was one or two of them, but they are gone.

In the eyes of the three, they only lost money, and they didn't think that their husband was using this to beat them and was dissatisfied with their behavior.

The three of Zhou Yong knew that their daughter-in-law had objections to her younger brother not marrying at home. This was normal for rural people, and it wasn't too much. The younger brother was protected by them. In the past, no matter how much a daughter-in-law had objections to her younger brother, she couldn't bully her younger brother.

But last time, after the incident happened when the younger brother returned to his mother's house, the three of Zhou Yong understood that their daughter-in-law hated his younger brother not because he was not married. It was they who let it go, which made it normal for them to be dissatisfied with their younger brother.

My brother-in-law said privately that the three sister-in-laws were not under control in the Zhou family. It was because the father-in-law and mother-in-law had a good personality, and the three elder uncles did not take the responsibility of being in charge of the house.

The three sister-in-laws took their attitudes into account, stepped on the bottom line of the family when doing things, and scolded Brother Yuan at will when they were dissatisfied. They didn't care about it, which made them form a habit of attitude towards Brother Yuan, and it became a matter of course to subsidize their mother's family.

If the three sister-in-laws are ignored, and the family earns money in the future, the three sister-in-laws will have more money on hand, and they will use more money to subsidize their mother's family, and they will have a confident attitude towards this family.

At night, go back to your room.

Most of the copper coins on Zhou Yong's three brothers were taken away by them.

Sister-in-law Zhou Li took the money and thought about it, complaining non-stop.

The second sister-in-law Zhou Yang muttered to put away the money, less is better than none.

The third sister-in-law, Zhou Wang, was very considerate. She put away the money that Zhou's elder San Zhou was handing in. Her expression was as gentle as usual, and dissatisfaction flashed in her lowered eyes, but she was very smart and said nothing.

The third sister-in-law Zhou Wang squeezed the money in her hand and put it in her private purse. She gave birth to a daughter in this family. If she gave birth to a son, she could use the son as the excuse to make the head of the family pay less!

If you don't have a son, you are doomed to have no confidence.

the next day.

The three Zhou family brothers are at home on vacation. They only come back three or four days a month. It is rare for them to come back. The son and daughter are very happy, pestering them all morning, and then sending the children out to play. Dear dad, I've seen them anyway, so don't worry about it, I still have the pocket money of two pennies given by their own dad, I'll find the peddler to buy sweets, and I'll find my friends to show off.

The three brothers of the Zhou family didn't know if they didn't follow their brother-in-law too much, and learned from him to sit leisurely and drink tea whenever they had time. They don't drink tea, but boiled water, and the three brothers sit in the yard to enjoy the cool.

It's rare to relax, and it doesn't feel bad.

The three brothers would lament that life is so comfortable, and their daughter-in-law is looking for trouble.

"What?! You want us to introduce your brother to be a shopkeeper with your brother-in-law?!"

The three brothers of the Zhou family obviously didn't expect their daughter-in-law to say it so naturally, and the tone was not asking, but telling.

"no!"

At this time, Zhou's father went out to rush through the door. Zhou's mother heard it from the house. When they walked out of the house, the three brothers of the Zhou family did not express their views, and Zhou's mother directly objected.

"why?!"

Sister-in-law Zhou Li shouted sharply.

After thinking about it before going to bed last night, the three women got together again this morning to discuss. The grocery store in Weicheng is also recruiting shopkeepers, and they are considering letting their elder brother or younger brother to be a shopkeeper. They earn a lot of money every month, and outsiders are recruiting. , it should not be more appropriate to recruit relatives.

Zhou's mother's objection, sister-in-law Zhou Li and the three of them lost their composure.

"I disagree!"

Mother Zhou's attitude is rarely so tough.

"Mother, why don't you agree? What's wrong with my brother and younger brother going to the grocery store in Weicheng? The grocery store in Weicheng recruits a lot of people, and our two families are relatives. Weicheng can recruit outsiders, recruit more people What's the matter, if there are too many people, it will be fine if you resign." The sister-in-law Zhou Li was very dissatisfied.

Second sister-in-law Zhou Yangshi: "Mother, sister-in-law is right. They are all relatives. Weicheng hires people to work. Isn't it better to hire relatives than outsiders?"

The third sister-in-law Zhou Wang immediately explained: "Mother, my husband said last night that my brother-in-law's grocery store will remove two unqualified peddlers and recruit a few more peddlers. All brothers in our family have no stable livelihood. It’s a relative again, and I want my husband to take someone to the grocery store to meet a worker, for the sake of relatives. If my brother-in-law recruits outsiders, it’s better to recruit relatives.”

He still wanted to establish a relationship with him and stuff people into Weicheng's grocery store.

Zhou's mother glanced at the third daughter-in-law, she was the one who knew how to advance and retreat among the three daughter-in-laws. Now that the words sound good, she can tell that she is planning for her natal brother. It's not wrong to plan for the natal brothers, the mistake is that they seem to have forgotten one thing, otherwise, she would not be so objectionable to introducing her son-in-law to meet the grocery store worker. In the end, it was his decision whether to recruit his son-in-law or not.

Zhou's mother glanced at the three daughters-in-law, and said sternly: "Have you forgotten what happened last time, how did my brother go back to the county alone? I don't have the shame to ask my son-in-law for help. You guys are going, don't come with me if you lose face I say that the son-in-law doesn’t care about his relatives.” And those relatives have nothing to do with the son-in-law.

After Zhou's mother finished speaking, she glared at her sons and told them to take care of their wives, then turned and went back to the house.

The three brothers of the Zhou family sat back in silence.

The three daughters-in-law of the Zhou family looked stiff.

At this moment, they remembered that they had a bad relationship with Brother Yuan......

The three brothers of the Zhou family went back to work at the grocery store.

The family seemed to have stopped, and the wife didn't mention letting their brothers work in the grocery store.

Zhou Yuan's face was full of doubts. His three older brothers had been caring for him since they returned home from vacation. When they returned from selling goods, they would always bring snacks for him.

The three older brothers coaxed him when he was their son?

Miss son or daughter?

Not like it!

If you want your nephews and nieces, it will only take half an hour to go back, not far away!

Zhou Yuan followed her husband in the grocery store. The side room of the grocery store is a spacious living room, and it is also where Wei Cheng usually works. There is a large desk in the room, a row of bookshelves against the wall, a table in the middle, a couch near the window with soft cotton pads, and a tea table on the side of the couch. Yuan sat on the couch with the script book and flipped through it absent-mindedly.

"What's the matter?" Wei Cheng sat on the chair behind the desk and dealt with the matter at hand. He focused on the materials in his hand, and he was able to pay attention to his daughter-in-law.

Zhou Yuan stopped reading the script, and asked suspiciously: "Husband, don't you think that big brother and the others are abnormal recently? They ask about my health every day, and even buy me candies and preserved fruits, treating me like a child."

"I don't think so!" Wei Cheng was dissatisfied. He was dissatisfied that the three brothers-in-law took away his job of coaxing his wife. Already!"

Zhou Yuan chuckled: "Husband, elder brother and the others didn't offend you, did you say bad things about elder brother and them?"

Wei Cheng said yes in his heart.

He guessed in his heart that when the three uncles came home, something happened at home. Seeing the guilt towards the daughter-in-law in the eyes of the three uncles, they should be inseparable from the three sister-in-laws.

He won't tell his wife, lest he think too much.

—

The house at home has been built, and the day for warming the house has been selected.

Usually there will be an elder in charge in the family, and there are only two in Wei Cheng's family. It was the first time that Zhou Yuan had to entertain guests, and he was struggling with which relatives to invite. Wei Cheng didn't have such troubles, and only those relatives and friends were concerned.

Zhou Yuan wouldn't ask Wei's mother, so he wanted to ask his elder brother to go back and ask his mother.

Wei Cheng murmured, "Ask Aunt Mao, Aunt Mao comes from a wealthy family, she knows these etiquettes best."

Zhou Yuan's eyes lit up, and he ran to look for Aunt Mao, and got the answer. The relatives and friends who decided to have a banquet, wrote the posts, and asked outsiders to write them. He and the husband's words could not be sold, and then sent people to send posts from house to house.

When relatives and friends received the post of Wei Cheng's house warming banquet, they had different expressions.

Wei's mother is holding the post, and Wei's father is sitting next to him smoking a pipe.

The second child's monthly support money has indeed been increased to five taels, and there is a lot of food along with the support money, as well as the hot sauce that has been sold in the county recently. Opened Xianmanju, opened a grocery store, and now has a house warming banquet, it's really crazy. If it were the boss Wei Liang who was so capable, the two of them would definitely be extremely happy, but if it were the second child who had left their hearts, the two of them would be in a complicated mood for a while.

Going is definitely going, they are all thinking about how to repair the relationship with the second child.

It is a good opportunity to go to the second child's house this time, and I will have excuses to keep in touch with each other in the future.

"Be sure to tell that girl Zhen'er to ask her to bring her son-in-law together. They are both businessmen, so they should have a common topic to talk about." Father Wei ordered.

"I'll ask someone to let Zhen girl come back tomorrow." Wei's mother asked: "The head of the family, do you want to mention the matter that the boss mentioned to the second?"

Wei's father nodded: "It's what I want to say."

"Second, will you refuse?"

"Probably not." Wei's father said, "No matter how we say it's his family, it's not that he doesn't give money to get the goods."

Mother Wei kept her mouth shut, she thought to herself, she really didn't want to give money.

"Old woman, don't be foolish. It's more important to have a good relationship with the second child now." Father Wei raised his voice and tapped.

Having been together for decades, Wei's father knew what she was up to with just one look from Wei's mother.

"I know, I won't be confused about this matter." Mother Wei replied reluctantly.

That was her son, and her mother went to her son's grocery store to order some goods, and she had to give money.

Mother Wei can't be willing!

Qinghe Village.

Zhou's father and Zhou's mother received a post about their son-in-law's house warming, and they were very happy that their son-in-law was really capable. He opened a grocery store and rebuilt the house. They didn't know that Wei Cheng also opened a restaurant.

Zhou's father and Zhou mother wanted to go to their son-in-law's house for the first time. There should be many relatives and friends coming to the banquet at the son-in-law's house that day. Do not stay at home to take care of the children.

Sister-in-law Zhou Lishi and the others saw the post, it was a good opportunity to repair their relationship with Brother Yuan, and they all clamored to go, but they agreed not to go. It is enough for the children at home to be taken care of by neighbors.

It had to be like this!

Zhou Yuan's aunt's family and aunt's family also received a post about the warming banquet in Weicheng, and they responded differently.

Aunt Zhou sneered, it's just a warm house, a suburb, no matter what, it's still a suburban house, her son will be a scholar next year, and a high official in the future. Her daughter is going to marry and live in a big house in the inner city, to be a young mistress.

Zhou Lanlan also disliked it.

The two mothers and daughters still went that day, and they had to dress up beautifully, so as to overwhelm the hosts.

At Aunt Zhou's house, Uncle Zhou and her son are not at home. They both go out to work. She and her daughter Zhou Xiaorui are the only ones at home.

Aunt Zhou wanted to take her daughter there, and at the same time find a good family for her daughter. After all, Wei Cheng is half a county person, so he must know a lot of county people, and maybe she can find a suitable partner for her daughter.

Zhou Xiaorui doesn't care!

—

Warm house day.

There are many things to be busy at home.

Wei Cheng lay on the bed, hugging his wife, unwilling to get up.

It's still comfortable to live at home.

"Husband, you are not allowed to stay in bed. You were late yesterday and the day before yesterday. Don't be late on such an important day."

Zhou Yuan pushed his husband who was leaning against him with his small hands.

"Yuanyuan, I don't think about it, why don't you come and coax me." Wei Cheng's lazy nasal voice seemed low and **** in the morning.

Wei Cheng likes his daughter-in-law's soft and coaxing voice the most, provocative and unbearable.

Zhou Yuan: "..."

Seeing that his daughter-in-law wanted to coax others, Wei Cheng lay down, put his arms under his head, and stared at his daughter-in-law for the rest of his life.

"...Husband, be good~ wake up."

The voice is clear and soft, it is still early in the morning, and it is easy to be impulsive when it is teased... It is a pity that today is a busy day.

Wei Cheng stared at his daughter-in-law's pink lips, his thoughts were twisted.

Seeing that there was no response, Zhou Yuan stopped coaxing: "No, I won't get up, I will get up by myself."

Wei Cheng stretched out his arms to hug his daughter-in-law fiercely, before he could react, he hugged and kissed.

Afterwards, Wei Cheng was satisfied.

"Okay, I'll get up right now. Husband has an order, so I dare not obey."

Zhou Yuan: "..."
