Across the Market

Chapter 36

"Give me three taels of silver every month?" Shen Yuzhu couldn't believe it, her eyes were wide open, she looked at Zhu Fu, then at Xiao Jingbin, and said with her mouth slightly open, "It's not to coax me." Right? Ah Fu is a superb cook and is the lucky star of Jingbin Building, so you should drive her for five or two months, but I..." She was excited and a little embarrassed, "I can't cook well I don’t know how to settle accounts, so if you drive me for three or two months, will it be too high?”

She clearly remembered that Quan Erfu in Jingbin Building was a relative of the boss, and his salary had only just been raised to five taels a month.Although he is not the shopkeeper in Jingbinlou, but the things he manages and his status in Jingbinlou is equivalent to being the shopkeeper. I don't know anything, and at most I can only be a handyman or a dishwashing person. What's wrong with this? Excuse me...

Xiao Jingbin smiled and said: "No, how could it be? The girl came here with Miss Zhu, even if she is not a real sister, she must love her sisters. I have taken a fancy to Miss Zhu's craftsmanship, and I must treat her sisters as well. Take care of them accordingly, otherwise, how can we retain such a good talent?"

"But..." Shen Yuzhu was about to say something more, but Zhu Fu stopped her and said, "Okay Yuzhu, since the boss has already opened the mouth, I must have taken a fancy to you for being hardworking and willing to endure hardships. In the future, you and I Do things together, let's help each other, just don't be ashamed of the money given by the boss."

"Yes, yes, as long as you work hard in the Jingbin Building, I, Xiao Jingbin, will not treat you badly." At this time, Xiao Jingbin was very excited, and he kept smiling. After saying this, he raised his eyes again. He glanced at the opposite door to welcome the guests, and saw that Fatty Li, who was standing at the door just now, suddenly dodged and ran in. A mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he snorted, "Can the two girls welcome the guests?" Lou chose to stay when the most difficult time came. He must be a man of noble character. Even if he has no craftsmanship, I, Xiao, like this kind of person. Unlike some people, who are poisonous and scorpion-hearted, who specialize in repaying kindness and revenge In things, we can only share joys and sorrows. That's all right, but you still do those sneaky things, your conscience is really eaten by dogs."

The next few words he said were very loud. Li Dapang, who was hiding behind the door, gritted his teeth after hearing this. His fat face was covered with sweat. He glanced fiercely in the direction of Xiao Jingbin and the others outside the door, and then turned The white cloth towel on his shoulders flicked, and he walked inside.

Outside, Shen Yulou was a little reluctant to ask the two little girls to show their faces. He said politely: "Boss Xiao took care of the two girls. I, Shen Yulou, thank you here. However, although we came from poor backgrounds, Daughter's family also needs to be pampered, how can there be such a rule, there are males in the family, but female relatives are needed to come out to earn money to support the family?"

After he finished speaking, he glanced at his sister lightly. Although his eyes were still gentle, there was a hint of anger in them.

Shen Yuzhu quickly lowered her head, not daring to look into her brother's eyes, but she also wanted three taels of silver, so she quietly reached out and tugged at Zhu Fu's sleeve.

Zhu Fu strongly disagrees with Shen Yulou's statement, it is completely machismo, why should a man do it to make money and support the family?Why can a woman only take care of the housework with her baby at home?Although he may have good intentions when he said such words, such a concept ran counter to what Zhu Fu was thinking, so she immediately became upset.

"Brother Shen has been away from home for three years. Have you ever thought about how your mother and sister live at home?" Although her voice was low, every word fell into Shen Yulou's ears. She said, "Orphans and widows At home, if you don’t rely on Yuzhu to sell tofu for a living, how can the mother and daughter make a living? And Brother Shen is studying abroad, doesn’t he need money? If it’s not Yuzhu who sells tofu, where does the money come from? It’s good now, You also mentioned Yuzhu."

Shen Yuzhu glanced at her brother guilty, and then said with a smile on her face: "Master, we still have some things to do at home, so let's go first. Don't worry, Ah Fu and I will definitely come at dinner time. Don't worry, we will come." Then he grabbed Zhu Fu's sleeve and was about to run, but was held down by Shen Yulou.

"You guys are tired too, sit on the horse and rest." Shen Yulou looked at Zhu Fu suspiciously, but didn't say anything, just reached out and put his sister on the horse first.

When she wanted to reach out to hug Zhu Fu to get on the horse again, Zhu Fu avoided it. She wanted to step on the stirrup to get on the horse by herself, but she was short in stature, with short arms and short legs, and couldn't reach it. After several attempts, she couldn't get on the horse. .Shen Yulou smiled, and regardless of whether she let him touch her, he hugged her by the waist and put her on the horse.

It was the first time for Zhu Fu to be so close to a man at such an age, her face suddenly turned red.

Shen Yuzhu squeezed Zhu Fu's face, leaned into her ear and whispered: "My brother has sent us money every month for the past three years since he left home to study, but my mother always thinks that my brother will have money in the future. Marrying a daughter-in-law requires taking the Juren examination. It is not easy for him to study and earn money alone, so he saved up the money he sent back. So, my brother doesn’t know when I go out to sell tofu.” She wrote She curled her lips, "It's over now, if my brother finds out, he will definitely punish me when he gets home."

Zhu Fu felt that what she said just now was indeed a little too much, so her tone softened. She secretly glanced at Shen Yulou who was leading the horse in front, and then turned to Shen Yuzhu and said, "Yuzhu, but I think he's okay. , not angry."

Shen Yuzhu frowned and said: "You don't know my brother, he is angry or not, and he won't put it all on his face. Sometimes even though he is angry, he still laughs, but I dare not look him in the eyes. "

"That's it..." Hearing what Shen Yuzhu said, Zhu Fu looked at Shen Yulou again. The handsome profile of the jade-faced young man was even more colorful under the sunlight, with thick black eyebrows and a straight nose , a tall and straight figure, fair skin that is rare for men in this small county, and thin and beautiful lips...

She was thinking, Shen Yuzhu's appearance followed Aunt Shen's, and she didn't have much beauty, so why is this elder brother next door so beautiful?
