Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 65
Seeing that the two of them understood, Huo Zhong approved in his heart.

He said again: "I'm afraid you won't be able to bring much grain on your boat on the way out, but you can find some local goods and bring them back on the way back."

Huo Xi nodded again and again: "Uncle Huo, does Huai'an know of any famous local products? The capital can sell them well?"

Huo Zhong thought for a while, and then said: "Huai'an brings together ships and goods from south to north. Its shipbuilding industry, handicraft industry, commerce, and north-south food are all prosperous and developed. It is especially famous for wine making, drum making, and weaving. .”

"In Huai'an, there are ginseng and mink skins shipped from Liaodong, and pears and dates from North Zhili. There are also ginger, pepper, lotus root powder, medicinal materials, tea, cloth, silk, paper, etc. shipped from the south. Bamboo and wood boards, linseed, rattan rope, porcelain, etc. from Jiangxi, Huguang and other places, as well as cane sugar shipped from the south.”

Seeing Huo Xi and Yang Fu wrestling their fingers, they said with a smile: "We have a population of one million in our capital, as long as there are good things, there will be no shortage of people to buy them."

After hearing this, Huo Xi stood up solemnly.

He made a very standard salute to Huo Zhong: "Thank you Uncle Huo for your guidance. In the future, the boy will become a talent and live a better life. I will definitely repay Uncle Huo for his support and care."

Yang Fu stared blankly at her after she saluted, and followed her example, making a bow to Huo Zhong.

Huo Zhong helped the two of them up, feeling quite emotional in his heart, and was extremely satisfied with their actions.

Huo Xi, this kid is good at finding opportunities from crises, he is a malleable material.

I don't know how much inspiration he got from what he said today.But he believes that the child will have a wonderful encounter this time going north to transport grain.

Huo Xi refused to take the money, left three bottles of shrimp products, and bid farewell to Huo Zhong.

He dragged Yang Fu around the outer city, where there were many people, he crowded there.Which goods are easy to sell, you have to go forward to inquire about them.

"Xi'er, should we go into the inner city and find out?" There are many rich people in the inner city.Yang Fu wiped away yesterday's sluggishness, and his whole body was filled with the desire to do a big job.

Huo Xi paused and shook his head.

She already had some ideas in her mind.She is familiar with the inner city and has visited the inner city before.It's better not to enter the inner city now, if you meet Wu Youcai, you will lose all your success.

"Come on, let's go back and discuss with our parents."

Before he reached the ferry in the outer city, he saw Huo Erhuai being pulled by two people.Huo Xi just wanted to raise her legs to go forward, but was stopped by Yang Fu.

"It's brother-in-law's mother and brother!"

"Ah?" Why did you come here suddenly?

Huo Xi was stunned, and was pulled aside by Yang Fu.

Before Huo Xi took a closer look at them, and before hearing the reason clearly, only hearing them ask Huo Erhuai for money, Huo Xi hurriedly pulled Yang Fu over: "Go around, go to the ferry to find your mother, and take our family's Row the boat away! Come pick me up and Dad later."

If we let them know that the family has changed to a new boat, the money and things on the boat may suffer.There will be no quiet days in the future.

Yang Fu was shocked, and before he had time to tell Huo Xi, he found another way and ran to the ferry.

Huo Xi hid aside and eavesdropped.

Huo Erhuai's mother, Fang Shi, brought her youngest son, Huo Sipan, to look for Huo Erhuai for a few days.Today I finally found him at Yushi Street in the outer city, and I followed him here endlessly.

"Second brother, are you just watching your family starve to death? If you eat hot food and drink spicy food, don't you care about us?"

Huo Erhuai looked at the youngest brother upon hearing this.

When he was born, he was seven or eight years old, and this kid almost grew up on his back.When he saw that he was crying because he couldn't eat enough, he went around looking for food for him.

Later, seeing that he was slender and his parents were crying and begging, he took two old clothes and married him to the Yang family.

"We fish for a day, and we sell it for a day in exchange for some food. At least our family has more than ten acres of land and food to survive, which is better than us. If we don't fish, we don't even have food. Where can we get food?"

Huo Sipan saw his second brother's eyes were cold, so he hurriedly asked his mother for help.

The Fang family pulled Huo Erhuai and cried: "Erhuai, do you still hate your parents? Back then, the family couldn't make it through, so you were allowed to come to the Yang family. The Yang family is richer than ours, and you can Eating enough is better than following us."

"Yes, Second Brother, if I was old enough back then, I would have wanted to marry."

Huo Erhuai glanced at him leisurely.

He married?Back then, he had to die and live for a good woman, and even after spending all his money, he was not enough to get married, and his parents even came to him to ask for money.He was going to marry early.

Huo Erhuai wanted to leave, but Fang grabbed the fishing basket tightly.

"Erhuai, your clothes look like they're newly made, without even a patch. Look at your mother and your brother, patch after patch. This year, taxes and food are collected a lot, and the family has a large population. After paying the food, there will be nothing. There are only a few left. Soon there will be another corvee to dredge the canal. Two people from our family will go. I heard that we will not return until the snow falls. Your fourth brother doesn’t have any heirs yet. Have pity on your brother."

Huo Erhuai held his breath, pity him?Then who has pity on me!

My husband and I floated on the river for ten years, our bodies were soaked in cold air, and we couldn't keep the few children we had.I don't have any heirs, who has pity on me!

Huo Erhuai clenched his fist tightly.She turned her head away from Fang Shi.

Huo Sipan pulled him to play pitiful: "Second brother, you loved me the most when you were a child. You dredged the canal, and you had to soak in the river for two or three months. You are useless. I'm not a child yet, you don't want me to go bankrupt, do you? "

Speaking of Juehu, Huo Erhuai panted heavily, and looked at him coldly.

"Didn't you tell the family at the beginning that the little lady had hidden silver in her body and would bring a lot of dowry to Huo's house? Why, she refused to give you money for service?"

Huo Sipan choked his throat and lowered his head.

Fang jumped up: "That bastard! Ask her to hand over the dowry to me for safekeeping, but she refuses! I searched every corner, but I couldn't find where she kept her money. Your brother didn't even get a single piece of her money! This time I also covered my pockets tightly, saying that everyone else can go, why can't Sipan go! Bastard, if you don't feel happy, I will let Sipan divorce her!"

Huo Sipan opened his mouth, but did not speak.

Huo Erhuai glanced at him leisurely, he had to bear the result of the marriage he asked for.

"I have no money. I have to support my family."

"What kind of family do you support? You can support your brother-in-law, why don't you want to support the family! You want to watch your brother being dragged into corvee!"

"Chunying Chunshang gave birth to a son for me, and I still have to support my family!"

Has the child in Chun Ying's belly been born?
"Feed?" Huo Sipan asked in a daze.

One sentence hit the deep pain in Huo Erhuai's heart.

He shouted at Huo Sipan: "Get out! I don't have a brother like you!" Pulling away the fishing basket, he walked away.

Huo Sipan touched his nose embarrassingly.

Seeing that Huo Erhuai broke free from the fishing basket, Fang walked forward, stomped her feet resentfully, ran up a few steps, and reached into Huo Erhuai's arms to feel for it.

　Thank you for your votes, love you all.
