Xiuse Farmhouse

Chapter 212 Ask for help, win over
On the way, I ran into Niang Qingshan, and seeing the three of them with their children holding the ghost paper, they asked strangely, "Where are you going?"

"Today is August [-]th, I want to visit his grandfather in my next life." Wan Wan said with a smile.

"Oh." Qingshan Niang showed a clear expression, this kid always thinks about it, the poor child is suffering, and reached out to touch the head of the next life to express comfort.

Laisheng lowered his head to hide the embarrassment on his face, and resisted not to tilt his head.

Looking at Wanwan, he pursed his lips and smiled.

Qingshan Niang was still sympathetic: "This child is also pitiful." Immediately, her tone changed: "However, don't be too hard on him, how can you go to the grave to offer incense on August [-]th?"

After Qing Shanniang left, Lai Sheng raised his head and heaved a sigh of relief.

The two looked funny, and when they arrived at the grave, Laisheng knelt straight in front of his grandfather's grave, lowered his head, and burned the paper money earnestly, and silently shed two lines of tears when Wanwan and Baishou were not paying attention.

But the child saw it from the side, pointed at the next life with a crooked hand, opened his eyes and shouted: "Little uncle, cry!"

Wanwan and Baishou secretly sighed in their hearts, made a gesture of silence to Han'er, and then whispered: "Don't disturb little uncle, do you understand?"

Han'er immediately stretched out his small hand to cover his small mouth, but his eyes were still wide open, very cute.

Laisheng finished kowtowing, wiped his face with his sleeve, turned to see Han'er still curious, and made a face at him, which made the child giggle, Han'er stretched out his hands, and hugged the child with a smile, Running back, holding Han'er in a flying pose: "Fly!"

The joyful laughter of children is heard on the road!
Baishou's biggest wish is to live a happy life with his family. After knowing the changes in the next life, he has never felt more relaxed.In addition to patrolling the mine, when he is free, he sits and chats with a few familiar people.

It happened that he and Yan Shan went to work that day.After the routine inspection, the two found a quiet place to sit down and rest. Yan Shan came to the mine for a special reason. Although he had not been here for a long time, he knew that Baishou and the Xie family had a good relationship, and the managers treated him well. , I intend to get close to Baishou.

"How many brothers are there in Brother Baishou's family?"

"One." In the past, he was very concerned about others knowing about his family, but now he is happy to let others know that he has a virtuous daughter-in-law and a well-behaved son.

"Oh." Yan Shan heard that Baishou's parents passed away long ago, and his relationship with his uncle was not very good, so he blamed himself for not being able to speak, and immediately smiled: "But even if you don't have brothers, you are still very happy now, Your daughter-in-law is also capable, and your son is cute and likable. Although he is not smart in the next life, he is still obedient, unlike us..."

Speaking of this, his eyes darkened, and his tone was faintly sad: "Brother died unjustly, but there is nowhere to complain."

Baishou was stunned: "What do you mean by Brother Yan? The second brother Yan is a good person in the mine, and we all feel very sad about his affairs, but this time it was indeed an accident. Who can resist natural disasters?"

"Brother Baishou, you don't know something." Yan Shan said angrily, "It's not that I created something out of nothing. It's that Xie's family is really deceiving people too much."

Baishou frowned, pretending to be listening attentively.

Finally found someone to confide in, and Yan Shan vomited out all his thoughts: "...Although we are peasants, a human life is nothing in their eyes. Five taels of silver, Brother Baishou, what do you think five taels of silver can buy? Are the country people so miserable?"

Baishou frowned: "Didn't the third young master say that he would not let the second brother Yan die in vain?"

"Hmph!" Yan Shan snorted coldly: "That's a nice way to say it. I'm sorry that my brother is dead, and my sister-in-law is suffering at home alone. What is the use of this five taels of silver? My brother is not here, so I will naturally take care of this old mother, but I still have it." The wife and children have to be raised, plus the old mother, the elder brother is away, the sister-in-law and nephew have to take care of themselves, the sister-in-law is a woman, how can she show her face, besides, she is not as capable as your family members, even if she goes out, she has no work to take care of the family. How are you going to live?"

Indeed, Yan Er is gone, and his sister-in-law Yan Shan must take care of him. This nephew is not yet married, so he will definitely need his help in the future, so the old mother will naturally follow him. He has a wife and children at home, and the whole family depends on him One person, the burden is really not light.

"After signing the contract, there was an accident. The mine promised compensation. We won't talk about the amount for now, but it was clearly agreed to give me a good job to support my family. I have only met Liu Guanshi once in the few days I have been here. Thank you, Captain. We only saw each other occasionally, and as for the third young master, I didn't see anyone, they were obviously trying to perfunctory me!"

"But this mine is not only the steward, but also the foreman. If you go into the hole and dig it, it's not right. You need to support a large family. The mining cost is high, but it is very dangerous. Coal transportation is also a tiring job. Besides these , there are no other good errands, did the third young master promise you any errands before?"

Yan Shan shook his head: "No, I just said that if our family is willing to have someone come to the mine, we will definitely arrange an errand to earn money easily and easily."

It's hard to say a hundred songs, how can there be any easy and expensive jobs in this mine?If you compare it, the job of this patrol team is actually quite good, more than one liang of silver a month, it would not have been such a good thing before, but because the Yan family is angry now, and Xie Xian only paid five liang of silver to the Yan family , Naturally, I can't feel angry.

But Yan Shan knew that Baishou had a good relationship, so he begged him: "...Help me tell the third young master that my nephew needs money when he is old enough to marry a wife. It’s okay, but I won’t go to mining, if I have another problem, what will you do with a big family, old and weak, women and children?”

Baishou was very embarrassed: "I can't promise you about this. You know that the third young master is a little dissatisfied with me these days. I guess he won't agree if I mention it, but I will tell Captain Xie that the third young master is not happy with him. He has always been kind and pleasant, I hope he can talk to you in front of the third young master, whether it will be successful or not is not certain. Don't have too much hope, lest you will be even more disappointed when you get it."

As long as Baishou agrees to Yan Shan, I feel more hopeful, and said gratefully: "Thank you so much, if it doesn't work, I won't blame you, as long as you agree."

Seeing Xie San later, Baishou told about Yan Shan, Xie San said displeased: "Is this little thing worth talking about all day long?"

Baishou suddenly felt that Yan Shan's hope might be ruined.

"Don't worry about this matter, it depends on what the third young master wants."

The next day, when Yan Shan was at work, Baishou told him Xie San's words, and comforted him gently: "Don't worry, I'm afraid this matter will have to be arranged slowly. After all, there are too many people in the mine, so how to arrange it may have to be done." There is a charter."

Yan Shan understood, and sneered immediately after hearing this: "These villains don't count." Immediately, he sincerely thanked Baishou: "Thank you very much, although it didn't work, but Brother Baishou, you did your best. I'm afraid no one will get involved in this matter, you are a righteous person."

He doesn't know how righteous he is, but he knows that some people are very dishonest.

Since Xie Xian ate at Baishou's place behind closed doors, he has not spoken to Baishou for a long time. If he meets Baishou by chance, Baishou will greet Xie Xian with a cold expression.Gradually, Baishou stopped moving forward, respected things, and stayed away from Xie Xian when nothing happened.

As for Yan Shan's matter, Xie San found Xie Xian later, and was scolded by Xie Xian.

At this time, he was having a headache because Manager Liu was looking for him. He took away the last five trucks of coal that were transported from the coal last time, but was later discovered by Manager Liu. Xie Xian was thinking about what reason Get Liu Guanshi off the hook!
Manager Liu got the number of coal trucks presented below, and compared it with the previous ones, he found that it was wrong. He first found the bookkeeper on the mountain, and it was believable that the bookkeeper was brought by Xie Yi. Just in case, he Or check with Mr. Bookkeeper first.

The bookkeeper told him very firmly: "I have recorded every piece of coal that is transported down the mountain, and it will not be left behind, and it is even more impossible to record it."

That was the problem at the bottom of the mountain, and he found Liu Jizhang who Xie Xian had found, and Liu Jizhang handed over the ledger to him. After going back to check, he found that the count was the same as the one on the mountain, so why was there less coal transported away? Two carriages?
After thinking about it, Liu Guanshi found Bai first to ask about the situation.

If there was anything unusual, or someone who stole coal, he really didn't notice it. Now that there are patrols in the mine, it is impossible for anyone to steal coal, and there are still so many of them.Suddenly something came to Baishou's mind, and he said the situation of transporting the coal out: "...At that time, the ox cart masters complained for a while, saying that they would have finished transporting it long ago... This time there was more coal than last time, When the last team of bullock carts went out, there was still a small amount of coal. We thought it would take at least half an hour for the bullock carts to come in. Who knew that five bullock carts came in not long after the previous team of bullock carts left. , the masters don’t know each other...According to the rules, I have to follow the car, but this time the third young master didn’t let me go..."

Guanshi Liu frowned, thanked Baishou, and finally found Xie Xian.

After listening to Guanshi Liu's words, Xie Xian calmly asked him to sit down, made him make tea, and said, "I planned to find a time to tell you about this, but it's not like you're too busy looking at things, I forgot for a while."

Seeing Liu Guanshi frowning and listening seriously, Xie Xian took a sip of tea, and then continued: "I took the next five carts of coal. A friend of the Xie family needs these things recently. It has been many years. There are not many friends in the business field, so I gave it to him. Don't worry, I will take care of it. If the second brother asks you in the future, let him ask me. It's because our Xie family has important business contacts. , not to mention five carts, even fifty carts, the old man is willing, don’t we still have the ones we picked on the mountain?”

Then he took out a purse and put it in front of Guanshi Liu: "It's my best friend, why would I accept money from him? He thinks he has caused a lot of trouble to the people below you, and this money can be regarded as some compensation for him!"
