Fish Leaping Farm Gate

Chapter 191 Auction
Compared with Du's family and Bai's family's celebration, Dong's family's is surrounded by gloom.

Qin Tai lost his name to Sun Shan this time, and he still failed to pass the Juren exam. He only lost his temper at home, blaming the food for his stomach spoiling his stomach, and blaming the climate in the capital for not getting used to it, smashing everything in the bedroom to pieces.Qin Zhixiong and his wife were not less affected, not to mention Qinglan, who was used as a punching bag by him pointing east and west.

Dong Shi sighed, she had a premonition early in the morning, but she didn't expect that the bad thing would actually come true.

Seeing that his son finally calmed down this day, he took the stewed chicken soup and walked in. Seeing Qin Tai leaning on the kang, he didn't know what he was thinking, so he greeted with a smile, "Come and eat while it's hot, don't eat it all day long." Stay in the room and go out for a walk in a while."

Qin Tai snorted and climbed down.

Seeing that he was not irritable like in the past, Mrs. Dong watched after drinking, and then said, "Last time, you didn't go to congratulate Du Wenyuan when he passed the exam, but this time, Mr. Bai, you will always go to congratulate him. Help. Xiaotai, it’s okay if you don’t pass the exam this time, take your time, you’d better go to the academy to continue studying, anyway, you don’t need to worry about family affairs, you just need to get along well with others..."

Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang, and the sea bowl was smashed to the ground!
"You asked me to congratulate others?" Qin Tai's eyes could not wait to pop out, "Ask me to please others, don't dream! What is Bai Yushi? I will definitely pass the exam this time!"

"Xiaotai." Mrs. Dong raised her voice, "Even if you pass the exam, don't you need to deal with people?"

"You don't need to worry about it!" Qin Tai jumped up, "You have to please yourself, go by yourself, yes, don't you have a younger sister, even if you give her to someone else to please, don't come to me!" He slammed the door hard and ran out.

Dong was so angry that her heart ached, she fell down and cried.

Qing Lan hurried over when she heard the voice, and seeing Dong Shi like this, she quickly helped her up, and said angrily, "Second brother pushed you?"

Dong just kept crying, beating his chest and saying, "I did the crime to give birth to such a son!"

Qinglan sighed, "Mother dotes on him too much, otherwise he wouldn't have developed such a temperament. If Mother changed her mind, she might be able to teach him well."

Dong cried for a while, and wiped his eyes with his sleeve, "Those guys are just reading a joke, your grandparents only regard Xiaotai as a treasure, and they always stuff things over on weekdays, just hoping that he will have fame , but now it is like this, and he is not good at making friends, otherwise it would be good to find a clerical job in the Yamen."

"When he suffers, he will always change. Mother, don't worry too much." Qing Lan didn't know how to persuade him.

"You are the most sensible in our family." Dong stretched out her hand to stroke her hair, "I thought Xiaotai could find you a good marriage, but now it is difficult." Xiaoyu also likes you very much..."

Qing Lan interrupted her, "Mother, don't talk anymore, if you really want our family to be unable to afford food any day, then I'll go!"

Dong asked in surprise, "How do you say that?"

"What do you say? Why did you sell you a blue rabbit when you were a little fish?" Qinglan raised her eyebrows, "I didn't want to say this, but mother insisted on bringing up the old matter again, so don't blame me for speaking out today! Mother is Do you want Huang Lishu to marry me? I know about the purse, and the reason why he didn't come to our house is because I told you!"

"What?" Dong Shi was shocked, "You, why are you so stupid?"

"I'm not stupid, it's my mother who treats everyone else as fools! Xiaoyu has known for a long time that her mother has this plan, and she has tested Aunt Zhao, and she will never agree. If this matter is going to break out, you will treat it as our family's beggar." Get it? If we cut off contact in the future, mother will only regret it!"

Dong's face suddenly changed, "Is this true?"

"How could I lie about this kind of thing? Xiaoyu told me personally." Qinglan said seriously, "Mother still wants to maintain this neighborly relationship with them, so don't mention this matter in the future, and don't play with Xiaoyu again." .”

If it was really a bamboo basket to fetch water, Mrs. Dong sighed, "Forget it, after hearing what you said today, my mother will understand, and I won't mention these again."

Seeing that she was still in distress, Qinglan said what she had thought about for a long time, "Mother thinks that the family is not rich enough, but it's not impossible, so let me work as a clerk in my aunt's grocery store." Qin's grocery store was originally a A little cousin who lived far away was hired to take care of it, but he recently found a wife and didn't want to do it anymore. Qin was worried that he couldn't find a suitable person.

Mrs. Dong shook her head again and again, "How did this happen? Your daughter's family showed up in public."

"Mother has always thought that Xiaoyu can make money, why can't it be my turn? Being a clerk makes a lot of money every month, and it can also subsidize the family. Mother, let me try it, if I learn something Experience, when we have capital in the future, we can also open a shop, so we don’t have to worry about our future life.”

The latter sentence finally moved Mrs. Dong, she thought for a while and said, "But your aunt is an adult, so how can it benefit you."

"Mother, don't worry." Qing Lan said with a smile.

One day Du Xiaoyu went to the grocery store to buy hemp rope, and saw that Qing Lan was looking at the store, and said in surprise, "Why are you here?"

"I'm a buddy now, what does this girl want to buy?" Qing Lan said seriously.

Du Xiaoyu smiled and cooperated, "Two hemp ropes." He handed over the copper coins.

Qing Lan took out the hemp rope and slapped off the dust on it.

"Third Aunt is willing to let you come to the shop?" She still couldn't help asking out her doubts.

"I can always find a way." Qing Lan smiled.

"Then you do it well, but everything is difficult at the beginning," Du Xiaoyu rolled his eyes, "Why don't I teach you a way?"

"What way?"

She is very familiar with this shop, and she often comes to buy things, and said with a smile, "This shop has accumulated a lot of stock over time, have you seen it? Anyway, it is still eaten by mice, and the style is old. You might as well suggest to Aunt Qin Take them all out, and then auction them in the village, and if you can sell them for a penny, it’s not bad if you come up with this idea, only [-]%.”

Qinglan was taken aback for a moment, and then understood what she meant, "But the auction is...is it just asking people to bid?"

"The highest bidder wins," she explained.

Qinglan's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help clapping her hands, "What a great idea! There are indeed a lot of goods piled up inside, and my aunt doesn't know what to do. Yesterday she asked whether to throw them all away. Now there is such a way , don’t waste it.”

Later, the Qin family really adopted Qinglan's suggestion and announced in the village that the grocery store planned to sell things at a low price, which immediately attracted people from poorer families in the village to come out one after another.

The location was at the entrance of the village, and Du Xiaoyu also went.

The situation was very lively that day, with a large circle of people, and the auction items were various, including bamboo baskets, chipped iron pots, uneven dishes, rouge that had been placed for a long time, silk flowers, toilets with paint peeling off, etc. .The auctioneers were also very active. The things were taken away one by one, and Qin's face was full of smiles.

Seeing Du Xiaoyu, he waved from afar, "Oh, Xiaoyu, thanks to you, it's all cleared up."

Qing Lan was really honest, she still told Qin Shi about her idea.

"Don't lose Qinglan the third of the money." Du Xiaoyu said, "As for this method, I also came up with it suddenly."

Qin waved her hand and said, "Qinglan is my niece, how could I treat her badly, do you need to say it?"

"I know you don't like Third Aunt, but Qinglan is a nice person, and you can probably tell that she might be a good business candidate," Du Xiaoyu said.

Qin's raised her eyebrows when she heard this. This niece invited Ying to be a buddy on her own initiative. At first she just said it casually, thinking that it was a relative who would not refuse, but unexpectedly she looked good, not at all compared to the original one. My cousin is poor.She is also generous and decent, which is completely different from her third sister-in-law, who is in the eyes of money and only wants to get a share of the pie.

She thought about it and said, "I really can't take care of it now, and I have to raise pigs and take care of the pork jerky. The grocery store in the county is also very busy. If Qinglan is really doing well, it's okay to leave it to her to take care of it all." No way." She glanced at Du Xiaoyu, "It's rare for you to speak well for someone, so she's pretty good, if you usually help me think of ideas, that would be great."

Du Xiaoyu smiled, "I'm just saying that, Auntie, you can think for yourself."

Qin Shi looked at her back, stomped her foot, and said to herself, "I'm a villain!"
In fact, she just wanted to help Qinglan and give her a chance to change her destiny.

In this time and space, it is not easy for a woman. She often becomes a victim in exchange for some kind of benefit to the family, and it is difficult to resist. What she has to do is not enough to challenge the entire system, but she still has the heart to look on the sidelines when she sees someone she admires.

When they walked back slowly, Huang Lishu and others just came back from the private school.

Speaking of this cousin, it seemed that he hadn't had any communication with her for a long time. In recent days, the two of them were said to be close at the same time, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

"Cousin, walk slowly." She called out.

Huang Lishu turned his head and asked strangely, "What?"

"My aunt has been picking a wife for you, which one do you like?"

Huang Li stood up with a straight face, "What are you doing? Isn't my aunt also picking for you?"

"I didn't like it." She smiled, "That's why I asked you."

She confessed herself first, before Huang Lishu relaxed, but his tone was still stiff, "No."

"Then what if my aunt is chosen? Are you planning to marry?" Du Xiaoyu asked again.

"Let's talk." He was very impatient.

It turned out that he was evading, but Du Xiaoyu finally saw it, so he refused to even mention it, which showed that he was not happy about it, but he didn't want to go against Zhao Dongzhi's intentions, so he simply didn't care about it at all.

Du Xiaoyu couldn't say anything, so he could only let him go forward.
