The next day, Shen Ruolan and Aunt Xie went to the town to order a shed bracket in Lao Yutou's donkey cart.
Now that the first month is almost out, the weather is much warmer, and it is not too cold to sit in the donkey cart. Shen Ruolan and Mrs. Xie chatted while watching the scenery, but they were not lonely.
When it came to the fact that she was going to close the shed, Shen Ruolan said to Aunt Xie with a smile: "Ma'am, I just want to discuss something with you."
Aunt Xie smiled and said, "What's the matter? Tell me."
Shen Ruolan said, "Look, I'm going to shut down the greenhouse. I want to thoroughly check the front and back gardens of my house. You know, my house used to be a mountainous land, and no one had ever planted it. During the years I’ve lived here, my father has never seriously planted a garden. Strictly speaking, the front and back gardens of my house are almost like wasteland. I want to ask my brother Daqing to help me turn it over, loosen the soil, and put some fertilizer on it. something."
Daqing is Aunt Xie's son, Qiuping's sister-in-law's man, and Xiaozhuzi's father.
Aunt Xie heard this, and said straightforwardly, "Okay, tomorrow I will ask Brother Daqing to help you look through it."
"That's great, but I can't let my Daqing brother do it for nothing, he will work for me for a day, and I will give him fifty Wen as wages, how about it?"
This salary was determined by Shen Ruolan after careful consideration. Generally, a strong laborer like Daqing would be paid 30 Wen for a day outside. If he was doing heavy work, it would be 40 Wen at most. She could give it up to 50 Wen. Ten Wen is already a big price!
"Look at what you girl said, it's not an outsider, it's just a matter of helping others, how can I ask for your money?" Aunt Xie's family is short of money, but she is not greedy for money. There are a lot of mutual help in the village. Someone who gave money said ah
Shen Ruolan said, "Ma'am, this is not all I have to do. If it's all I do, I can't give it to you if you ask me. After two days, I have to build a shed and close the shed. When the time comes, there will be sowing, watering, and more work, as you can see, Shouya and I can't do heavy work at all, and besides, these tasks are not done by women, and I have to point at Brother Daqing."
As she spoke, she waved her thin and thin arms to show that she really couldn't do such a job.
Aunt Xie listened and lowered her head in confusion.
She really wants to agree, the family is now in the middle of the crisis, if they can earn 50 Wen a day, the whole family will not have to go hungry, and occasionally they can cut meat for Xiao Zhuzi and his parents-in-law. !
However, she agreed and was afraid of being stabbed in the back. She lived in a village and had to pay for some work. Besides, she was embarrassed to be with the skinny girl!
Shen Ruolan saw what Aunt Xie was thinking, and said, "Ma'am, I can't finish these tasks in a day or two, even if it doesn't take long to turn over the ground and close the greenhouse, but watering the greenhouse in the sky is not a bad idea." Easy work, all five greenhouses have to be watered, and the well is far away from my home, so I have to point to my brother Daqing to help me pick it up. In the past two months, you said, after such a long time, can I be ashamed to beg you every day? Anyway, I have made up my mind, if you don’t charge money, then I will go find someone else. "
"Don't, Lan Ya, don't look for others, you go, brother Daqing." Aunt Xie hurriedly said when she heard that she wanted to find someone else.
Fifty Wen a day, five hundred Wen in ten days, and fifteen hundred Wen in a month. The girl said that she could work for at least two months, so that would be a full three taels of silver!
I have caught up with what my family earned in a year!
Such a good thing can't be found even with a lantern, so how can I let others do it
Zhu'er is not in good health, if he has these three taels of silver, he can go to the big medical clinic in the county to see a good doctor, take two doses of good medicine, and maybe he will be cured!
"That's great, ma'am, then let's make a deal, let my brother Daqing help me with the work from tomorrow, as for the money, we can settle it every day or every ten days, what do you guys do?" Just say what you want to do." Shen Ruolan hurriedly finalized the matter.
Aunt Xie smiled gratefully and said: "It's easy to talk about money, but Lan Ya, thank you first, auntie, and auntie also knows that now is the time when you don't pick up money, you can get it with twenty or thirty. Hiring a good person to work, but you have to spend a lot of money to hire you Brother Daqing, and you are also helping the aunt, the aunt knows what you are thinking, and the aunt knows it well!"
"Look at what you said, ma'am, you said I was seeing outsiders, don't you also see outsiders now?" Shen Ruolan said with a smile, "Who is with whom between us? You forgot that when I was young, I ran away from you when I had nothing to eat. Did you go home to eat? You helped me a lot back then, so shouldn’t it be right for me to help you now?”
"Hehe, you have a heart, aunt never dreamed that you would be able to achieve what you are doing now!" Aunt Shen said happily.
Shen Ruolan chuckled, and said, "Of course, the eighteenth female college has changed!"
"You're not yet eighteen, are you only fourteen?"
"Well, it's just fourteen years old..."
The two of them picked up Princess Gege along the way, and soon arrived in the town.
They first went to the woodware store opened by Mrs. Xie's brother. As Mrs. Xie said, his brother is also an honest and honest person. Seeing that everything in his woodware store is doing well, Shen Ruolan is most happy that he There are bamboo poles here, as well as the kind of big and thick bamboo that can be broken from the ground, and it is best used as a support.
Shen Ruolan took out all the dimensions of her drawings, negotiated with him, and finally agreed on the price. The brackets for the five greenhouses were all custom-made here. Finish within a month.
Mrs. Xie helped her brother take on such a big job, and her brother would definitely be very grateful to her, and maybe he could give her some kickbacks or something. Shen Ruolan doesn't dislike this at all, anyway, she will do it to anyone, why not help Aunt Xie and let her live better!
After leaving the woodware shop, Aunt Shen was going to see Sister Cuilian, so Shen Ruolan temporarily separated from her and went to the town yamen in Lao Yutou's donkey cart.
Yesterday Lei Choutou was so powerful, she wanted to express it, but there were too many people yesterday, she didn't have a chance to express it, just happened to come here today, so let me express it by the way, if I have something to do in the future, it will be convenient to ask others !
When he arrived at the town yamen, Butou Lei happened to be there, Shen Ruolan invited him out, generously handed over two taels of silver, and asked him to take those brothers to drink.
When Lei Butou got the money, he smiled happily and kept telling her that if there was anything in the future, just come to him, and he would help her decide.
Yes, every time she has something to do, he can make money, so he is naturally willing to help her make decisions!

Jingcheng North, Jinchuan City
A sallow and thin boy was standing on the street, his clothes were torn and his figure was thin, with a load of dry firewood standing behind him.
At this moment, he was waiting for a pair of big black eyes, looking in horror at a few punks who surrounded him.
"Boy, do you know that you have to pay protection fees to sell firewood on this street? Have you paid it?" A gangster with a sharp mouth and monkey cheeks stepped forward and pushed the boy, and the boy's thin body was pushed away. Staggered, fell on the firewood, and fell to the ground together with the load of firewood.
The bastards laughed hahaha, full of street bullies.
The boy was sitting on the ground, his eyes slightly astringent: "I... have no money!"
"No money? If you don't have money, you dare to sell firewood on my site. Is it itchy? Or do you think I can spoil you?" The gangster picked up the boy again, like Like carrying a little chick, cursing and pushing at the same time.
The boy was a little scared, and said with red eyes: "Several brothers, my mother is sick, and I will sell this load of firewood to buy her medicine to treat her illness. Please raise your hands and wait for me. If you have money, you will definitely make up for it.”
"Bah! Do you think I'm a fool? If you run away after selling it, where the hell will I find you?" The bastard spit on the boy's face and said viciously: "Five cents , either pay the money, or pay for your firewood."
Hearing this, the boy rushed to the bundle of firewood, clutched the pole tightly and said, "No, my mother is ill. I cut these firewood to buy medicine for her for several days. Brothers, you guys are going to buy medicine for her." Please do me a favor, when I have money in the future, I will definitely give it to you, please."
"Stop the fucking nonsense, either pay the money or hand over the firewood!" The bastard became impatient, and took two steps forward, as if he was about to make a move at any time.
The boy was so forced that he couldn't help it. He gritted his teeth and lowered his head to take out the only penny from his pocket.
He secretly saved it to buy a hair rope for his sister, but for this bundle of firewood, he had to hand over the money.
"How many little brothers? Can I hand over one piece of paper first? The remaining four pieces will be given to you after I sell the firewood. I mean what I say, and I will definitely not cheat."
"Fuck you!"
A gangster stepped forward and kicked the skinny boy a long way away and fell to the ground.
"Do you think I'm a beggar? Give me a penny and slap me in the face? Brothers, stop talking nonsense with him and beat him up!"
A group of seventeen or eighteen-year-old gangsters beat a skinny boy in his teens. He only needed three to five punches, and he lay down on the ground, curled up with his head in his arms.
"Xiaozi, I am in a good mood today, so I will spare you. If I see you dare to sell goods on my site, you will wait for me. Brothers, get the firewood and leave—"
A group of gangsters took the load of firewood, even the penny on the ground, and ran away in a hurry!
With tears streaming down his face, the boy struggled to get up from the ground. Looking at those menacing figures, he didn't dare to catch up after all. He wiped his eyes, lowered his head and walked slowly...
In the teahouse opposite, someone who had witnessed everything stood up and said to several attendants, "You wait here!"
Immediately, he quickly walked out of the teahouse.
**
The boy walked into a deserted alley, saw no one was around, leaned against the wall slumped, and slowly squatted down, buried his scarred face on his knees, hugged his knees silently Sobbed.
How to do it
The mother was ill, and the family's money was all spent, so he pointed out that he sold the load of firewood to buy medicine for the mother, but the firewood was taken away, what about the mother's medicine
Also, today is his and his sister's birthday, he promised to buy her a red-headed rope, think about the eager eyes on her sister when he left home, how can he face his sister after he goes back
Hunger, wounds and pain were nothing. The boy was immersed in great sorrow and pain. He felt deeply annoyed. They were all taken away...
At the entrance of the alley, the tall and tall man silently looked at the small figure curled up in a ball, watching his thin and immature shoulders shake slightly, like a fallen leaf in the autumn wind, lonely and alone, making his My heart is inexplicably a little distressed!
It's just that this person is bad because he never speaks nice words. Even if he feels sorry for this little thing and wants to help him and comfort him, the words he says are still ugly.
"A dignified man, crying like this after being beaten up by some bastards, he is really promising!"
Hearing the taunt, the boy raised his head in panic, and saw the man in the black robe standing not far away. He didn't know how long he had been looking there. In his deep eyes, there was an unfathomable darkness, which was very resembling The sucking vortex is extremely frightening.
The boy recognized him, it was this guy who ran to his house to stay at the house that day, but he scared his mother, and then fell ill, and has been ill until now.
The mother's health has always been bad, and she would fall down at the slightest disturbance. Since he was sensible, he has been very careful to take care of the mother, and never let her suffer any harm. Scared sick.
He hates this man and doesn't want to talk to him.
The boy wiped away the tears from his face, snorted stubbornly, turned around and left.
Behind the back, the man said coolly: "If you can't survive, go to your sister, she is capable, and it is more than enough to feed the three of you!"
The boy paused, and when he slowly turned his head, the man just now had disappeared...
