Chapter 235 Expulsion

"Of course!" Lin Fu said with a smile, "Follow Mrs. Li and girl Dongbao well, there are plenty of good days to wait for! Look at me, brother, I'm sending both boys to study in the town now. I don't even think about it. Dare to think!"

Everyone nodded and laughed. Everyone knew that Lin Fu wanted to support his son's education. He had made a donation to Dashi for a year and then he stopped. Similarly, in order to support a Song Bai to study, the ones who could be ruthless at sacrificing the girls at home were Dong Bao first, and then the little girl of Song's second wife.

"Stop rambling on!" Aunt Qiuxia laughed while sitting next to the female guest, "Hurry up and eat, you have to get up early tomorrow."

Lin Fu laughed heartily a few times, he was really happy today, so he said a few more words, and quickly said: "Yes, let's eat quickly."

In addition to some home-cooked dishes, Dongbao and Aunt Qiuxia just made yellow tofu in the stewed pork rib soup this afternoon. The yellow tofu I like, those who have a lot of money will definitely not be stingy with this money.

The host and guests had a great meal, and Lin Fu and the others felt that they hadn't drunk much, but they all felt a little drunk. Not to mention their happiness, they walked like they were stepping on cotton, feeling light.

"Ms. Li is a lucky woman! I am very envious of having such a smart daughter!" Darong was supported by Guizhi and walked into the workshop. Today it was the husband and wife's turn to guard the workshop at night, fearing that someone would steal it. Dongshi kept chattering to Guizhi, "I will be satisfied if our big girl can have half of Miss Dongbao in the future!"

Guizhi smiled and said: "Look at you, you started to grin after drinking two mouthfuls of cat urine!" After a while, she also whispered: "I also hope that our big girl can be half as smart as Miss Dongbao, and I am too. Don't worry about her anymore. When I go to my husband's house in the future, I won't be afraid of being bullied."

In the afternoon, when the helpers were off work, the village became lively. At this time, a man walked in from the entrance of the village. His long dirty and knotted hair was still stained with hay, covering his face disheveledly. The color of the clothes on his body can no longer be distinguished, but they can barely cover the flesh, and the shoes on his feet are rotten, only the soles are left, which are tied indiscriminately with a few straw ropes. There seems to be something wrong with his legs. A stick, walking with a limp.

"Where is the beggar?" The villagers couldn't help whispering when they saw it.

There are not many people going door to door in the village to beg for food these days. Firstly, it is not a famine year, and secondly, the country is prosperous and the people are peaceful. There are very few people who really can't survive to the point of begging, except for those professional beggars in towns and cities.

Second Uncle Song was in a very unhappy mood today. The Baoji workshop opened in full swing, and many people in the village had made money. His beaming expression was like a slap in the face. Even if he went to chat with Lao Cheng, few people would Take him straight in the eye.

Now I saw this beggar bowing his head and walking towards the village as if no one was around, he immediately jumped out, stood there with his hips akimbo and a tiger's face, and shouted, "Who are you? Get lost! Go beg for food elsewhere!"

Hmph, others look down on him and bully him, so why can't he bully a beggar to vent his anger!

The beggar looked up at Second Uncle Song, and instead of running away in fear of his aura as Second Uncle Song had imagined, he threw his stick and rushed forward crying, threw Second Uncle Song to the ground, raised his black fist, and rushed towards Second Uncle Song. Greeting on his face, he cried and cursed bitterly: "You damn son of Song, you have screwed me to death! I beat you to death!"

The men who came to chat with Lao Cheng were stunned for a moment. After a while, someone came to their senses and went up to separate the beggar from Uncle Song. .At this moment, after being helped up, he kicked the beggar, screaming to kill him.

"The voice sounds familiar!" One of the men stared at the beggar and said.

Another man interjected: "That's right, who is it? It sounds familiar, but I just can't remember it."

When the beggar heard what others said, he didn't make a sound, and stood aside with his head down and his stick leaning on him.

Lao Cheng also came out of the shop, stared at the beggar for a long time, slapped his thigh suddenly, and shouted: "Isn't this Ergou! What? When did you come out of the prison of the county lord?"

Everyone heard that it was Ergou, only to recall it, and looked at the down-and-out and sloppy Ergou with complicated expressions. This is the fate of bullying Mrs. Li without having eyes!

Uncle Song was very annoyed, spit at Ergou in disgust, and cursed: "You crazy dog! I want to beat the person who sent you to prison, and beat that surnamed Yan! Why are you beating me? Mad dog! County Why don't you kill your mad dog!"

Er Gou stared at Uncle Song, gnashing his teeth in hatred, "If you hadn't pushed me to play tricks, I would have come to where I am today? Don't worry about me, you are very capable? You have the ability to find someone surnamed Li. The stinky woman wants money! She is rich now, and I heard that she is running a workshop and a shop, why don't you ask her for money? Don't you say that all the money she earns is yours!"

Ergou has been imprisoned for so long, and just after he was released, the news he heard along the way is that Li's workshop has opened, and the scene needs to be more ostentatious. He is far away in Anzhou, and the big bosses in Qingzhou are begging for the big boss of the workshop. The steward Lin Fu sold them tofu, and the money poured in like running water. It was the first day, and if he waited for two more days, he would definitely earn more. The landlords in the next village couldn’t compare to those stewards.

"I..." Second Uncle Song felt guilty when he met the contemptuous gazes of the people around him, and shouted, "When did I say that? You are so bloody and spitting, it's all your fault! I didn't let you go to me!" The widow's sister-in-law poured dirty water there, it was your own fault, who is to blame?!"

"Second Song, fuck it, your mother is here! I will fight with you today! Then I will smash the workshop of that bitch surnamed Li! You are not good people, and I broke my leg!" Ergou limped and ran over holding a stick. Uncle Song turned around and ran away in fright. After running a few steps, Ergou found that Ergou's legs were lame, and he couldn't catch him at all.

At this moment, a few men from the workshop came back. Uncle Song had an idea, pointed at Ergou and said to the group of men, "Hey, those beggars are going to destroy the workshop, so you don't care?"

The faces of the men suddenly became serious, and Lao Cheng was afraid of something, so he quickly said to those people: "He is not a beggar, he is the second dog of our village, and he has come out of the prison in the county. But you really have to pay for it." Watch it, maybe he'll have to do something wrong!"

After a few people heard it and discussed it, they took Ergou to the village chief's house. The village chief's daughter-in-law, Liu Sheng's wife, also worked in the workshop and earned ten yuan a day. I was secretly happy, but when I heard that Ergou was back and wreaked havoc, I immediately became angry.

"Shut it up in the firewood room and lock it first!" The village head gave the order with a wave of his hand. The workshop is the top priority in the village, and we must not be cut off from everyone's financial resources by an unworthy Ergou.

Ergou was also dumbfounded. He actually didn't have the guts to do anything to the workshop. After all, Mr. Yan's methods were too ruthless. He broke a leg when he made a fuss last time. If he dared to do something to the workshop, then he would Is there life?His thinking was the same as Uncle Song's. He couldn't vent his anger on Mr. Yan and Mrs. Li. Couldn't he vent his anger on the incompetent and spineless Second Song?
At noon the next day, all the villagers gathered at the gate of the village chief's house, and no one spoke for Ergou.No matter how Ergou cried bitterly, no matter how he said that what he said yesterday was all angry, it was useless if he didn't have the slightest intention to harm the workshop.

"We can't keep this man in Tagouji. People need shame and bark. He...let him go." Old man Zhu, the oldest in the village, also spoke, not saying that he intended to harm the workshop, but referring to No one could get used to the fact that he went to the town to tarnish Li's reputation.

"That's right, we can't stay! He is such a shameless person, he can do anything, and he has bullied our folks a lot in the past! Let him go!" Most people echoed.

Er Gou trembled angrily, and cursed: "You guys are shameless when you see money, don't you just enter the workshop and earn a coolie's money, so you can't find the north! You who have lost money in the past and call me brothers and sisters, don't Face! Beware of retribution!"

Nonsence!The villagers collectively turned their faces away from him. They said hello when they first met. It was because you were so rascal. We honest country people can't afford to provoke or hide?Now that you have committed public anger, the natural wall is overthrown by everyone, and everyone has hated you for a long time, not just because you offended Mrs. Li, nor because you want to destroy the workshop, but you yourself think that everyone respects you Afraid of you.

"Er Gou, don't scold me anymore." The village head said, "If you didn't do too many wrong things before and offended the villagers, you'd better go and take advantage of it. When everyone can still talk about it.”

In this way, with the consent of the villagers' collective vote, Ergou sold the family's two acres of land, packed his bags and left, and no one has seen him since then.

After the workshop was opened, the operation gradually got on track. Lin Fu became more and more experienced, and the stewards became more and more competent every day. When it was still dark every day, the workshop was brightly lit. Forty helpers plus a few Stewardship, assembly line operation, clear division of labor, methodical, although there are many people, they are always tense and orderly, and there will never be times when they are in a hurry.

Bean curd sticks and dried tofu have already started to be sold to the outside world. The price set by the bean curd sticks is the wholesale price of [-] cents a catty, while the dried tofu is more expensive at [-] cents a catty. They can be sold for hundreds of catties every day, and the profit is almost Earn half and half.As for retailing, Dongbao has also stipulated in advance that as long as it is Baoji's goods, the retail price of each store must be uniform, and no price increase without authorization is allowed.

At the same time, Dong Bao was not idle, and she began to tinker with the exclusive secret recipe of soft tofu.
