Peasant woman's day

Chapter 85

Fu Rong secretly wrote down: "Did the fire start here?"

Lao Zheng recalled: "Yes. I remember it started at this corner. I woke up Xiaoliuzi and went to the water tank behind to fetch water. We carried the water in, and it was full of smoke. The fire was too big, and we poured water. Immortality led to the next room."

Fu Rong nodded, turned around and went to the warehouse next to her.Old Zheng was afraid that something might happen to her pregnant belly, so he quickly followed her.Fu Rong looked around and saw nothing wrong.She walked out of the house, turned her head, and suddenly said: "The fire you mentioned was first brought to the warehouse next to it. When did the weaving room catch fire?"

Old Zheng thought about it carefully: "At that time, we were only focused on putting out the fire. After a while, the fire on this side was brought under control, and the little six shouted that the other side was also on fire."

It doesn't make sense.Fu Rong looked at the room that was one corner away from the eaves.There was no wind that night. If the storeroom next to it was burned, it could be said to have been ignited. There is no reason for the weaving room to be brought here.Unless, it was done on purpose.

Fu Rong looked around, and as soon as he walked out of the warehouse, Lao Liu walked over quickly, and when he saw Fu Rong, his expression relaxed: "Madam Boss, Boss Gu and the others are back."

Fu Rong hurriedly followed him forward.As soon as she walked into the room, Gu Qingchen hurriedly greeted her, held her shoulders, looked up and down carefully, and then heaved a sigh of relief: "Where did you go?"

"I went to look behind. Has the matter been resolved?" Fu Rong looked at Hong Mian's face, speculating that the result might not be so good.

Gu Qingchen's expression turned gray, and he pulled Fu Rong to sit down silently.Hong Mian raised her head and sighed: "Furong, I won't hide it from you. The payment for the goods is only half of those cloths, and the rest is regarded as compensation for not delivering on time."

That's quite a lot, but, to Boss Ding, these things are probably a drop in the bucket.He would have agreed so easily.Furong said, "Sister Hongmian, if you have anything to say, you can just say it."

"He wants to terminate the cooperation with us." When Hongmian said this, he was very angry, "It is said that the business of his shop is not good now. He originally intended to supply these white cloths to the big cloth factory in the county. Now We couldn’t deliver the goods, so he had to pay for it himself. It is estimated that after this loss, he doesn’t have so much money on hand to buy our cloth. He has to close the shop and recuperate.”

Judging from Boss Ding's intentional avoidance before, this statement is probably an excuse.It's just that everyone understands, but doing business is to pretend to be confused.Gu Qingchen shook Fu Rong's hand: "He took out the contract he signed at the beginning. If one party fails to deliver the goods on time, he will have to triple the price of the undelivered cloth as compensation."

Fu Rong and Gu Qingchen got into the carriage.The coachman was about to start driving, when Fu Rong suddenly said, "Go around to the back of the workshop."

Although Gu Qingchen didn't understand Furong's intention, he also ordered the driver according to her words.After arriving at the location of the fire, Fu Rong wanted to get out of the car to have a look.Gu Qingchen helped her out of the car.Fu Rong went to the base of the wall to look down.Gu Qingchen understood her intentions, knelt down to inspect for a while, and helped Furong get into the car with a solemn expression.The car turned back to the workshop. After they explained the situation to Hong Mian, Lao Liu set off for the government office.

After Furong walked all the way, her calf was swollen.Lin rubbed her calf and said, "You have a big belly, you look like twins. Don't go out for so long in the future. Don't say that Qingchen is worried, your mother-in-law and I are both worried at home, I'm afraid What happened to you. That product, can you hand it over?"

Fu Rong didn't want to make Lin Shi worry too much, and she was afraid that she would keep whispering in her ears, so she comforted her and said: "Mother, I just sat in the workshop for a while. All things are related to Mrs. Xianggong and Miss Hongmian. Take care, I'm not tired, so don't worry about it."

"Anyway, what I said is nothing. If you are normal, I don't care about you." Although Lin said so, she still pressed Fu Rongzai's legs carefully, and said nothing more.

In the evening, when Gu Qingchen came back, he took a shower and Yuanyuan fell asleep in Furong's arms.He hugged Yuanyuan and put it on the crib. Furong leaned on the pillow and ate fresh milk stewed eggs, and said, "My mother-in-law made this herself after she asked me about it. I left a bowl for you on the table."

Gu Qingchen was also obviously hungry, and ate in big mouthfuls.He watched Fu Rong chewing slowly, and suddenly said: "I was thinking, our workshop caught fire, and I heard from Lao Liu that no one came to watch it except the neighbors. Why is Boss Ding like that?" Are you sure, our workshop can't deliver those goods?"

Fu Rong leaned lazily on the pillow, and said with a light smile, "You mean, he set the fire?"

"I'm just guessing in my heart. By the way, the person Lao Liu sent to watch came back this afternoon. He said that Boss Ding left the city and went southeast. He is still watching now. If he has any news, he will come back and report back. " Gu Qingchen said.

Southeast direction?A figure of a person suddenly flashed in Fu Rong's mind, and she temporarily suppressed her thoughts.She pondered in her mind for a while, and the two rested.

The next day, Mrs. Lin got up to go home.Mrs. Gu found it strange, this Furong said that she would celebrate Yuanyuan's birthday on the first day of June, so why did Mrs. Lin want to go home at this time?These days, Mrs. Gu stayed in the town, seeing that Furong still treats her as usual, she relaxes a lot and treats Lin a lot more politely.Although she was surprised, she didn't say much.

She thought Mrs. Lin was going to go for a few days, but on the morning of the first day of June, Mrs. Lin rushed back again, and the journey was full of dust and dust, without even eating.

For Yuan Yuan's third birthday, Fu Rong put it on the first day of June, which is equivalent to letting him celebrate Children's Day.These days, she is making clothes for the child in her stomach, but Yuanyuan hasn't had any new clothes for a long time.Furong took the time to make him a brand new dress.When Yuanyuan woke up and saw the new clothes, she immediately jumped up happily.Fu Rong put on clothes for him, and patted his little butt again: "Go and find your father."

Although it was her third birthday, Furong still invited the neighbors' children and their parents, and specially invited Hongmian to come.Hong Mian has been busy repairing the warehouse of the workshop these days, and built a high wall behind the warehouse, and shoveled all the grass between the two walls.The most urgent task now is to find a new home. Hongmian went to several places, but there are a few that show their willingness, but the prices are kept very low.Hongmian is struggling with this matter.

Aunt He's big head also put on a new dress today, the material was specially given by Fu Rong, and Aunt He made it herself.Yuanyuan looked like a little master, every time he came into a neighborhood, he would call out to people, took his friends by the hand, and led their parents to the Furong side in the back, and then he took the little friends to Go to the table specially prepared for children.When Hong Mian came in, Yuanyuan arranged the seat like a grown-up, and was so happy that Hong Mian hugged him in her arms, kissing him again and again.

Yuanyuan's small slap pushed towards Hong Mian's face: "Godmother, if you kiss Yuanyuan again, Yuanyuan's face will disappear."

Hong Mian froze for a moment, then looked at Yuanyuan: "What did you call me?"

"Godmother." Yuanyuan tilted her head, "Don't godmother know Yuanyuan?"

Hong Mian rushed to Furong's room as soon as she hugged Yuanyuan.Furong was discussing with Mrs. Lin how to set up the table at noon, Hong Mian rushed in and said pleasantly, "Furong, what did you ask Yuanyuan to call me?"

Fu Rong smiled slightly: "What's the matter, last time you said you wanted to take Yuanyuan as your godson, now you want to go back on your word."

"How could you go back on your word? My godson is not allowed to be robbed. Yuanyuan, godmother will take you to buy delicious food." Saying that, Hong Mian hugged Yuanyuan, kissed and kissed, and went straight out the door.

The smile on Lin's face faded: "She is a girl who hasn't left the court, so it's probably inappropriate for Yuanyuan to recognize her as a godmother."

Furong leaned on Lin's shoulder: "Mother, you said that Miss Hongmian could treat Yuanyuan badly? She helped us in this fight, how many mothers Yuanyuan can hurt?"

Lin thought about it, and said: "This time I went back and asked Dali, and he said that the previous son Chunjuan's family really went to someone."

"Mother, can you see the appearance of that man?" Fu Rong asked hastily.

Lin shook her head: "Not only did the man not see him, but he said vigorously that Chunjuan also left with him not long after he arrived."

Furong thought for a while, and whispered a few words in Lin's ear.Lin nodded and patted her hand: "Just rest assured."

Catch the murderer's side, just to get some relief, but life has to go on, and the hard work of setting up the workshop can't be wasted like this.After the meal, Furong invited Miss Hongmian into the house, and said straight to the point: "Sister Hongmian, we used to follow other people's requirements everywhere, but now it's time to let go. Sister Hongmian, why don't we set up our own family?" Woolen cloth?"

Fu Rong's proposal made Hong Mian's eyes shine, but she hesitated again: "We only have spinning wheels, and the batik in the back, we don't understand."

"We don't understand, but someone understands." Fu Rong said with a smile, "How Miss Hong Mian invited the workers for weaving, how can she invite the workers for batik."

A faint smile appeared on Hong Mian's face: "I understand. Since he is unkind, don't blame us for being unrighteous. I will find a shop right away."
