Chapter 260 Disappearing Preferential Price
On the sixth day of the first lunar month, Li Changfeng and Mrs. Gao brought Chang Xin and Chang Liang to pay New Year greetings to Mrs. Li and Mr. Yan. Not only did they bring a lot of New Year gifts, Mrs. Gao was also smiling all the time, and kept pulling Mrs. Li to say that she was close Words, affectionate like sisters.

"Didn't relatives just talk about helping you!" Gao smiled, her face turned into a flower, "Back then, your elder brother and I helped you, but now you help your nephew...don't worry about the second day of the new year. That's because I was devious in my heart, thinking about things that didn't make sense, your brother scolded me very badly later! Said that I made his two sisters angry, and I said that others were angry with me, big sister and young sister You can't be angry with your sister-in-law! Both sisters are sensible, honest, and kind-hearted! Isn't it? Hahahaha!"

Dong Bao was on the side, pretending not to hear Gao Shi's carefree and piercing laughter.

On the tenth day of the first lunar month, Dongbao went back to Tagouji, and told all the managers personally that after Li Changfeng and Gao came to pick up the goods, they would all be priced according to the unified price, and there would be no more discounts.

Darong is a straightforward person, so he patted his leg and said immediately: "It should have been like this, Boss Li's daughter-in-law, every now and then, shows off to people that she buys goods cheaply, so many shopkeepers who come to buy goods are not satisfied. You have to get the goods at this price, so as not to delay things.”

Dong Bao smiled awkwardly, but he was gnashing his teeth in his heart, showing off this matter is really like Gao Shi's style, "It's causing trouble for everyone... From now on, the price will be unified, and no one's relatives will be an exception!"

The workshop started on the twelfth day of the first lunar month. After the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, Li Changfeng and Mrs. Gao went to the workshop to pick up the goods. Unexpectedly, their original preferential price was cancelled, and it became the same price as others.Gao, who had been proud of the Spring Festival, was about to turn against the steward on the spot, but was held back by Li Changfeng with a stern face.

"Why are you dragging me?" Gao's anger still persisted, "That person must be new here, he doesn't know who I am!"

Many shopkeepers from other places around are looking around. Baoji Workshop has been in business for so long, and has always valued harmony. Their food is delicious and not expensive, and it is especially easy to sell. Everyone is begging them to sell more. For myself, how can I quarrel with people from Baoji? Rare, really rare!
Li Changfeng's old face was flushed with embarrassment, and he asked back: "Who are you? Tell me who you are? Are you the emperor's father or a princess in the palace?"

Gao said confidently: "I am Li Hongzhen's sister-in-law, and you are her elder brother! Can we make the same price as others?"

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Li Changfeng took his face into consideration, and it was impossible to turn against Mrs. Li and quarrel, so he just said in a low voice: "Forget it, hurry up and go back after getting the goods."

He is not stupid, this matter must have been ordered by Mrs. Li or Dong Bao, and they will not be given discounts in the future. Presumably, Mrs. Gao's attitude during the Chinese New Year offended them.

"That won't work." Gao was anxious, "My brother and the others don't have a shop, so they walk around the streets and alleys to buy and sell. How tiring, the purchase price is the same as others, and they can only earn hard money..."

Li Changfeng didn't talk to her too much, he just loaded the goods into the cart, put on the donkey and left, Gao Shi saw Li Changfeng's expression, as if the mountain and rain were about to come, and the building was full of wind, so he didn't dare to talk too much. Muttering dissatisfaction followed behind.

It was a long way out of Tagouji, and Gao was still muttering about how hard the two natal brothers worked, and how much less they earned now. Li Changfeng couldn't bear it anymore, and turned around and shouted: " Others also have burdens to sell, so why can’t they earn as much as they earn?”

"That's different..." Seeing that Li Changfeng was angry, Gao felt a little guilty, "Isn't there this level of kinship, can we be like him?"

Li Changfeng was out of style, stomping his feet and said: "Hongzhen is willing to give me the price because I am her big brother. As a big brother, I am enough to be taken care of by my sister. Is it possible that my sister took care of me?" Not enough, I have to take care of my sister-in-law’s natal brothers? Is this reasonable? I used to feel guilty when I saw Hongzhen and Dongbao. Their money is also hard-earned. I will use the hard-earned money of my sister and niece to give your brother a favor , I, who is a big brother and uncle, have a dull face!"

Gao blushed and argued: "If they don't have this money, can I force them to ask for it? Now they have it, and they sell so much goods every day, those from Anzhou and Qingzhou can't buy enough...they earn a lot, and they don't want it. In the absence of this little money, if there is a leak in their fingers, it is enough for us to eat and drink."

Li Changfeng was too lazy to stand on the road in the cold and talk to Gao Shi, raised his whip to urge the donkey to go fast, then turned around and said to Gao Shi: "You should not go to Hongzhen's place in the future, your mouth will not offend anyone. I know, others don't turn against you because of my face, so they don't necessarily care about it. Seeing that this time they don't give us an advantage, you know what Hongzhen and Dongbao think about me as an uncle. Even if they are relatives, they don't care. What can you do to take care of you? Why do people have to take care of you? What can you take care of others?"

The last sentence can be said to have reached Dongbao's heart.

In the previous life, Dongbao's parents established the tofu business in the county town and opened the first tofu shop in the county town, which was an incredible event at that time.After the news spread in the village, many relatives came to the door. It was a trivial matter to ask for tuition sponsorship for their children. More often they asked them to help them through the back door. Some children who didn’t have enough grades in school had to go through the back door, or they didn’t have enough qualifications to join the army. Soldiers, those who are dissatisfied with the assigned work, and even family planning family members come to them for help, to see if they can go through the back door and pay less fines...

Dong Bao has been annoyed by these relatives since he was a child. Those people pretend that I am your relative, and now that you are developed and capable, you have to help me, which is really annoying.

Now Gao Shi has also become one of these people, but she didn't realize it.

Mrs. Gao stopped coming to the shop, and Mrs. Li was happy not to have to deal with her. Chang Liang was already patrolling the streets with Liang Zi. It was okay for the first few days. When the yamen servant sees the sky running outside or something.

Li Hongqin and Li Shi finished listening to Liang Zi's report, and Li Hongqin waved his hands: "Let him complain, don't talk to him! It's not easy to eat any job! It's good to let him suffer a little bit. If he doesn't want to do it in the future, let him go back later." Go to Anzhou to learn crafts."

Li Shi is not willing to worry about her nephew anymore, she has done everything she should do, and now she has more important things to worry about, which is Dong Bao's engagement.

On the day of the engagement, she would invite someone to dinner. She had discussed it with Aunt Qiuxia, and the banquet would be held in the town. First, there was a market in the town, and it was convenient to buy anything. Second, the Song family was next door to the Lin family. Who knew what would happen? What's the matter?It doesn't matter if her face is damaged, the key is that the engagement ceremony is only once in the life of the two children, and it should pay attention to a good omen, everything goes well, and it can't be affected by anything.

So if you do it at home in the town, do you still invite the Song family?This is a big question before Mrs. Li.

No, please, after all, Dong Bao's surname is Song and not Yan. After all, the Song family is her natal family. It seems that it is against the rules not to have anyone surnamed Song present; please, everyone knows the virtues of the Song family. If Dong Bao is lost People, but it was thrown in Yuanshui Town, and this is Lord Yan's home, so it is not appropriate to invite the Song family.

"I'll go talk to Old Song's family." Aunt Qiuxia volunteered, "It's their business whether they come or not, and it's not considered impolite if we tell you." Then Aunt Qiuxia added, "I guess they Definitely not coming!"

They came here to give congratulatory gifts, and the Song family was thinking all day long about extracting money from Dong Bao and Li Shi, and asking them to give Dong Bao a congratulatory gift, ha ha... This is too far-fetched.

Aunt Qiuxia also moved quickly. After returning home from the town, she changed into clean clothes and went to Song's house.After she came back, Aunt Qiuxia didn't say anything, she just did what she should do.

Lin Fu smiled and pulled her into the room, and asked, "Are you angry? Why are you angry with that kind of people? It doesn't matter! We don't have the same knowledge as them!"

Although Qiuxia didn't say whether they were husband and wife for many years, Lin Fu could still see that she was angry.From the fact that she changed her clothes just now, I know that Qiuxia is very serious about this matter. After all, it is a major event in the lives of the two children. Obviously, the Song family did not take Dongbao's engagement seriously, and they might even say A lot of sarcastic remarks.

Lin Fu didn't need to listen, he could guess what the Song family said. It was nothing more than that you were rich and refused to recognize our relatives. Now that I think about it, we didn't want to cheer you up to save face.

Aunt Qiuxia curled her lips, sighed, and said, "I'm not being so idle... Dongbao is also a girl from the Song family. When Song Xiucai was here, he was very kind to them. Even if they I have opinions on Hongzhen. Dongbao is Song Xiucai's only daughter. How can they be so serious about the child's engagement? I'm not the narrow-minded person, so I don't deserve to be so sulking. Look at their family members They are small, they don't look like they have lived their lives, and they squint at people. It's no wonder that the life of the old Song family is getting worse and worse, and none of the younger generation can count on it. It's okay Ah, Dongbao is not like Zhaodi and the others!"

Lin Fu laughed, "Dongbao wants to be like Zhaodi, would you like her to be your son's wife?"

Aunt Qiuxia also laughed, and said with great satisfaction: "I just like that girl Dongbao has a good temper and a kind heart, and she is not as soft-tempered as Hongzhen. She is a good match with Dashi! Otherwise, Dongbao No matter how rich the Bao family is, I can’t hire my son. I know some people are jealous, saying that I’m attracted to someone rich and flattering them. I don’t care, as long as my son and his wife live well in the future, others love What to say, what to say, make him angry!"

It was also within Li's expectation that the Song family would not come. Apart from feeling a little regretful, she didn't think about anything else. Aunt Qiuxia didn't learn the Song family's words from her, otherwise Li would get angry again.

Several families help together, and soon, February [-] will arrive.
