farmhouse ditty

Chapter 176 Chapter 140

Now many shopkeepers on the street heard the sound and stretched their necks to look this way. Xiuniang saw some standing at the door with umbrellas.

In the past, although her family was poor and her neighbors were rich, she was close to the door of these shops. The business on her side was good, and the whole street prospered, but her business was good, not that other people's business was good. Seeing that there was movement on her side, of course I ran out to watch the excitement.

Xiu Niang wanted to ask what was going on, but before she could open her mouth, she heard the middle-aged man pointing at Chu Ge and yelling.

"Hey, hey, I said why you are not in charge of the little shopkeeper, I won't talk to you... Hey, hey, everyone, look, this board is clearly brought by his family calling me, But here I don’t recognize it again.”

Xiu Niang watched the man talk to Chu Ge, and then pointed to the board on the car and quarreled with the surrounding shopkeepers.

She pondered for a while, then walked to the door and asked the two guys to say hello.

The two guys looked at her, and they both said hello, "Sister Xiu (sister-in-law), you are here."

Xiu Niang pointed to the man and asked, "Hey, which wood shop does this guy belong to? Has he ever given us material before?"

The older guy said, "Sister Xiu Niang, I don't know, I seldom go out with the shopkeeper to draw boards, but this old man seems to have delivered to us a few times. ..."

Another clerk squinted his eyes, interrupted him, and said, "Sister-in-law Xiuniang, I know that person. He is a Che Laoguai from Yuanmu Co., and he hurt his leg while working before. Shouting for him to drive away."

Xiu Niang asked in confusion, "You hurt your leg, why can't you work as a carpenter?"

"Hey, sister-in-law Xiuniang, you don't know that Che Laoguai was not injured by a fall, but crushed."

The guy made gestures while chattering, first he raised his hands high, and then chattered with his hands on his hips.

"Sister-in-law, the materials used by their lumber shop are all round wooden stakes cut from the forest, and they piled the wood very high... Every wooden stake is as thick as my waist... …The day when the old car accident happened was the same as today. It was raining, and there was moss on the wooden stake in their yard. When it rained and slipped, the wooden stake rolled down. It's on Che Laoguai..."

Xiuniang almost knew what happened next, the old abductee had hurt her body, and after more than half a year of raising it, her hands and feet were still not good enough, so she couldn't do the carpentry work.

She listened and looked at the guy, "You know it clearly."

"Hey, why don't I know about this, I'm in the garden anyway... Hey, does everyone in the town know about this?"

The guy said it casually, but he got stuck in the middle of the sentence. He froze for a moment, and hurriedly talked about other things.

Xiu Niang glanced at him, didn't say anything, just smiled, "Oh, that's it."

"Brother, my shop is collecting wood, but you brought it here on a rainy day, and you didn't find anything to cover it. The boards are all wet now, what do you want me to do?"

"Hey, what you little shopkeeper said, in our town, it rains twice in three days this month, you put the materials in the yard, and wait for the sun to dry, won't it be fine? Now, if you have the knack to grind, you might as well call on the buddy to move the board to the yard as soon as possible!"

"Brother, what you said is light-hearted. How many days does it take for me to dry it? Let's not say that this is not the material I asked for. Even if you send it over in the rain, I won't ask for it!"

"Hey, let me tell you, you little shopkeeper, why are you so screwed up? If it's not what you want, can I deliver it to you? Isn't it your family's..."

Chu Ge was chatting with Che Laoguai on the street, he turned his head and looked back, Xiu Niang guessed that he was looking for her, so she hurriedly walked over to him with an umbrella.

In fact, when I went downstairs just now, Xiu Niang stood at the entrance of the shop and didn't go there immediately. She wanted to ask the two guys to find out what was going on. After a while, she also knew how to help Chu Go speak.

Although she hasn't figured it out yet, everyone on the street has come out to watch the fun, and the old car is trying to make things worse, so she has to go there first and get rid of the old car Walk.

If Chu Ge couldn't bear to drive people away for a while, and took over the cart of scraps from Che Laoguai, then there would be more troubles in the future, because by doing so, Chu Ge was tantamount to admitting that he was the one who confessed to Che. Laoguai gave materials, but he didn't recognize them the next day. In this case, who else is willing to do business with them? Also, there may be other wood shops in the future, and they have to use this trick to buy and sell scraps to their families .

"Chugo, you just called me..."

"Oh, Xiu Niang, come here first."

Chu Ge turned his head and saw her, and interrupted her, telling her to come forward.

Xiu Niang looked at Chu Ge, "come here first, that is, don't talk." She thought about it, and walked to him without saying anything.

Chu Ge turned around to look at Che Laoguai, and asked, "Brother, you just said, who is going to ask for these two carts of wood?"

Seeing a newcomer coming, Che Laoguai passed by and glanced at Xiuniang. He heard Chu Ge's question, he waved his hands on his hips, and leaned on the car behind him, bent his right leg, and supported own weight.

"Hey, I don't know, she's just a little woman, um...it seems to be your mother-in-law, hey, that's right, she's your mother-in-law!"

After hearing this, Xiu Niang couldn't help but cast a glance at Che Laoguai, this man couldn't speak his mind.

Anyway, at this moment, she knew why Chu Ge asked her to come here. She glanced at Chu Ge and asked about Che Laoguai.

"Oh, so, brother, have you met the proprietress in our shop?"

Che Laoguai thought there was a door, he raised his eyebrows, patted his chest and said, "That's right, it was your lady boss who came to talk to me yesterday, saying that she was in a hurry to ask for a wooden board, and asked me to give it to me today." Sent it over!"

Chu Ge thought about it and asked again, "Brother, have you really met my wife?"

Of course, Che Laoguai patted his chest and said it again, but this time he said it to Xiu Niang, "Hey, your shopkeeper is not good at hearing, is it the board his wife came to ask for yesterday? !"

Chu Ge changed his hand to hold the umbrella, and he asked dumbly, "Brother, do you really see that my daughter-in-law went to place the order? It's the board she wanted, so you must give it to me today." Did you come here?"

Xiu Niang glanced at Chu Ge, and secretly twitched the corners of her mouth. He said the words "my wife" and "definitely send it here" loudly, which meant for those who stretched their ears to look for excitement. I listened.

Che Laoguai certainly doesn't understand this, he only knows that there is a little woman in the Chu family workshop who went out to buy vegetables today, he heard from the old reporter that the woman should be the aunt of the shopkeeper , because she goes out at this time every day, anyway, no one is here at the moment, so he can say whatever he wants.

"Hey, I'm talking about the little shopkeeper. You didn't do this. Yesterday, your mother-in-law came to place the order. I saw it for real. She said it was delivered to the front door," he said. Wiped the rain off his face, shook his hands, and continued to babble loudly, "Hey, little shopkeeper, I told you, your mother-in-law will not be here, if she is, I will nag her face to face! Let's see what else you can rely on!"

Chu Ge looked at it, nodded his head in a stupid way, turned to Xiu Niang and said, "Daughter-in-law, did you ask for a wooden board yesterday?"

"Master, I don't even know where to open the door of this old brother's shop, so why would I tell the wooden boards, let's go," Xiu Niang said with a smile, facing the shop owners who came out to watch the excitement, " Those of us who are in business, how can there be mothers and aunts who take care of the work in the workshop, don’t we have to be old men to make decisions!”

After finishing speaking, Xiu Niang looked at Che Laoguai, and smiled faintly. Anyway, she had let Chugo show his face in front of the guys earlier, and now the guys in the workshop really don't listen to her, and she's really not in charge. .

What's more, what she said just now is also telling the shopkeepers around, not to mention that she was not the one who placed the order yesterday, but even if it was her, the old car dealer should know that the women in this workshop can't make up their minds Yes, especially in this business, so today, he shouldn't have sent the board over.

When Che Laoguai heard Chu Ge call out the phrase "daughter-in-law" to Xiuniang, he was stunned, he would open his eyes wide and look at Xiuniang, "What, what, you, you are, This little shopkeeper's daughter-in-law..."

"Then that's weird. If you didn't go, daughter-in-law, then this old man said you went to place the order." Chu Ge was talking stupidly. In fact, he also knew that from the very beginning to the end He went to collect waste wood in the business by himself, and Xiu Niang never intervened.

Xiu Niang was very cooperative and said to Chu Ge, "Hey, that's right, if I went to place an order yesterday, then this old man should have broken up with me as soon as he saw me. Talking nonsense like a fool, could it be that it was a heavy rainy day, and those big eyes were blurred!"

She and Chu Ge had just finished singing and talking, and the shops on the street started chattering. The two of them got together and pointed at the old crutch.

The man behind Che Laoguai saw something was wrong, coughed twice, and hurried away with the mule cart.

Che Laoguai also didn't say a word to Chu Ge and Xiu Niang for a long time, he heard the sound and looked back, seeing that the man abandoned himself and ran away, he cursed secretly.

Now a few guys in the shop can't stand it any longer. The old crook is clearly here to blackmail people, he thinks their shopkeeper is easy to bully, doesn't he?

The faces of those guys were downcast, and everyone looked at each other and came out in the rain, standing behind Chu Ge and Xiu Niang.

Che Laoguai had never seen a battle before, he swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and was busy thinking about how to get himself out...
