Smallholder Farming Daily

Chapter 156

Mr. Qu was puzzled, "Your Shifang is so busy, do you still want to be a postman or a cook? The postman's monthly fee is only 150 Wen, which means you can't go hungry in the posthouse. It's not as good as yours. Workshop workers earn more, but cooks earn even less, only 120 Wen, why are you joining in the fun?"

It's not easy for Qian Feng to speak out, because once it is said, the government will not be able to get more benefits from it, and can only receive the twenty pennies handed over by Qian Feng every year.

Master Qu suddenly laughed, "You don't mean to curry favor with some high-ranking officials so that you can get some rewards?"

Qian Feng smiled and nodded, "Let's not talk about mixing some broken money, I can see the world, I've never been out of the province until now, and the biggest official I've ever seen is Big Brother, I want to see Take a look at those high-ranking officials from the capital, don't they have three heads and six arms?"

Mr. Qu shook his head and smiled: "Little brother is really interesting. Do you think it is a good job to serve high officials? Don't miss out on rewards, but you often have to be scolded by those high officials. They are picky! But if you really want to Go, I can help, the county magistrate said, he already has a candidate for the postman, and the postman and the cook have not yet been decided, so I will recommend you to be the postman."

Qian Feng was so happy, he took out two taels of silver and stuffed it into Mr. Qu's hand, "It's a blessing for me to meet my elder brother! By the way, there are no officials coming to the station most of the time, and Yicheng and I can take turns guarding there What? My home is still in Yinshan, and I want to go back every now and then, and Stone Mountain also needs me to take care of it from time to time."

Mr. Qu was quite happy holding the two taels of silver in his hand. He felt that Qian Feng was really a long-term friend. Usually he just wanted to get more money from Qian Feng, the owner of the workshop. Seeing that Qian Feng was a real person, he felt that maybe he could really ask for help.

But I will talk about the matter of begging for help later, and now he talks about this kind of thing as soon as he collects the money, as if he is looking at the money, so he said: "My good brother, of course it is okay, many post stations are postmen and posthouses Those who wait there in turn, who can stay there all year round, there is not even a tavern in Linzhuang."

Qian Feng thanked him, and was about to turn around to go home, Master Qu suddenly caught up and said: "On the first day of the next month, you will go to the post station. Uh... With my younger brother's cleverness, if I make friends with some high-ranking official at that time, But don't forget to say good things about me in front of the officials, I'm tired of staying here, I haven't raised my salary in five years, and... I'm worried that the county magistrate will do a lot of shameful things to me If something happens on my head, I won't be able to keep my head."

Qian Feng nodded quickly, "Don't worry, brother, anyway, I'm not a member of the government, and I won't be an official in my life, so of course I will try my best to take advantage of the benefits."

Master Qu was very satisfied after hearing this, and patted Qian Feng on the shoulder, "Good brother, what big brother wants is your words!"

Qian Feng took the money and went home, so he had to pay the workshop workers quickly, which was several days late.

As soon as Mr. Qu entered the Li family's courtyard, he heard his mother-in-law crying and cursing, "Tian Lihua, you vixen, which family's bastard are you carrying in your belly, tell me quickly!"

Lihua snorted coldly, "Of course it belongs to Xiaolang!" After she finished speaking, she turned around and went back to her room.

Shopkeeper Li walked over to his two daughters and the eldest daughter-in-law and said, "Stop making trouble. If she is not pregnant with Xiao Lang's baby, who else could it be? Don't talk about a bastard and shut up about a bastard. Xiao Lang like you can't close his eyes in the underworld, this is his root in this world!"

Shopkeeper Li was in tears when he spoke, and he was very sad when he thought of his youngest son passing away like this.His mother-in-law also wiped away her tears, "You two daughters, go back to your own home quickly, you don't need to worry about this place. And the eldest daughter-in-law, hurry up and take care of it in the shop, don't try to take Xiaolang's share of the family property And the shop, it has been agreed long ago that we will split half and half, do you want to swallow it alone?"

Mr. Qu pulled his wife up and left. Anyway, the father-in-law and mother-in-law were only thinking about their little grandson, so they couldn't hear what these people said.

The two daughters of the Li family have left, and they don't want to do anything, they just feel that their mother's family has been bullied by Lihua, and they are unwilling.

The eldest daughter-in-law of the Li family was even more annoyed, but her parents-in-law were so devoted to Lihua, she had no choice but to get up and go to the shop to do business.The business of this salt shop is booming. There are so many villages and so many households in Yinshan Town, and they have to eat salt for every meal. If they want to buy salt, they can buy it here, so the daily income is very considerable.

She came to the front shop and saw the man humming while he was selling salt.She rushed up and twisted his ears, "Such a major incident happened at home, and if you still have time to hum, this salt shop will be divided into two! It's okay to share it with your nephew, but Lihua Huai It's a wild species!"

After Li Dalang received the money from the guest, he turned around and slapped his mother-in-law, "You talk nonsense, I'll kill you, you stinky bitch, whoever said that's a bastard, even parents admit it's Xiao Lang's, you You are still yelling here, you are used to it! Hurry up and work!"

Li Dalang sat down and smoked a pipe by himself. His mother-in-law was stunned by the beating, and after a long while, she burst into tears with her voice open.

Li Dalang stood up suddenly, and shouted: "You still cry, cry again, I will divorce you! There is no quiet stinky woman all day long, and the two children are almost brought to ruin. If you do this again, go back quickly." Mother, I will find a new mother for the two children!"

His mother-in-law was full of tears, pointing to Li Dalang's forehead, "You...you Li Dalang, you actually despise me, you...!"

Li Dalang stared, "What about me? You don't even look in the mirror to see your ugly appearance. You're old and pale before you're thirty. I'm already tired of seeing you!"

His mother-in-law was going crazy, afraid that Li Dalang would really go crazy and want to divorce her, so she had to cover her face and cry, and ran out.

Her parents-in-law were sitting in the corner by the fire discussing matters, and seeing the eldest daughter-in-law crying like this ran into the house for some reason.

Shopkeeper Li sighed straight away, "Isn't it because Xiao Lang has a posthumous child, and she makes trouble all day long, alas!"

It was evening when Qian Feng returned home, he told Shiliu the good news, and then ran to the mountain to let everyone call it a day.
