Chapter 583 Aunt wants to rent a shop in the county town
Later, the eldest brother came back and completely met all his fantasies about him.
Moreover, my elder brother is especially nice to him.
Later, they met their sister-in-law who came from another world.
Everything was so happy that he felt like it was a dream.
He was even more amazed that his sister-in-law, who was clearly from another world, was actually the daughter of the Princess Protector of the Nation.
Shen Zhao's thoughts were flying, with a smile on his face.
No matter what, he and his sister-in-law will always be his elder brother and sister-in-law.
Shen Yuan noticed that Shen Zhao was staring at him, but he didn't turn around.
Shen Zhao has always been smart. He may not have realized it before, but after so many things happened, he felt that he must have noticed something.
But he never asked, so naturally he didn't say it on his own initiative.
No matter whether he is Shen Yuan or Huo Yuan, he accepts him as his younger brother.
When passing by the town, Shen Yuan went to the blacksmith shop to pick up the farm tools he had ordered a few days ago.
His family has too much land and not enough farm tools.
And this time, we mainly used a hand-cranked thresher to peel corn kernels.
It's too difficult to shell so much corn by hand.
When Master Lu saw Shen Yuan, it was like seeing a relative.
After the iron mine incident came out, he felt like he had escaped a disaster and was so scared that he couldn't sleep all night.
He had talked about this with Shen Yuan and his wife, and it was as if he had someone to confide in. Whenever he saw Shen Yuan, he would sigh:
"Boss Shen, I've saved my life. Fortunately, I didn't get greedy. It's better to be down-to-earth. Whenever I think about it, I feel like I'm going to break out in a cold sweat."
Master Lu has been repeating these words for a long time, and his two apprentices have calluses on their ears from repeating them.
I want to tell everyone I meet how wise I was at the beginning.
"Master Lu is not tempted by money, which is really admirable."
Shen Yuan also echoed.
Master Lu chuckled and felt that he was blessed.
While calling on his two apprentices to carry the farm tools, he said:
"I was almost tempted, too. They really survived a disaster. I heard that two of the masters in the county died, and the ones who survived were skin and bones. They wanted to change their careers and never do the blacksmith business again. I guess they were scared."
He smacked his lips in amazement. They had all changed their professions, and there was only one blacksmith shop left in the county. Seeing that many people were making farm tools during the autumn harvest, his business was booming.
Those who survive a great disaster will surely be blessed in the future. Recently, he has visited his ancestors many times to burn incense and thank them for their blessings.
After loading all the farm tools Shen Yuan wanted onto the carriage, Shen Yuan didn't listen to his nagging and quickly left with Shen Zhao.
If he stays any longer, his ears will get calluses.
Not long after Su Wanwan arrived home, her aunt and cousin Wang Baolin came.
They also came to give silver and buy some vermicelli.
They did not come empty-handed either, as they brought two boxes of pastries, which looked like they were bought in the county.
"Wanwan, I saw that this cake in the county town is selling very well, so I bought some for you to try."
Aunt Shen Xinru's face was full of smiles. Wang Baolin felt a little restrained because his cousin was not at home. In order to avoid suspicion, he did not go into the house. Instead, he stayed in the yard and saw that there was some unchopped firewood, so he picked up an axe and started working.
Su Wanwan also recognized this kind of pastry. It seemed to be made of eggs and was a bit similar to egg cake. I heard that it was very expensive, and I was afraid that even her aunt herself would not be willing to eat it.
"Aunt, let's eat together."
Su Wanwan gave a piece to Shen Xinru, and they sat down and talked.
Shen Xinru put the silver on the table, then washed her hands and took the pastries.
"I just need this little bit. This is for the next three months."
Su Wanwan calculated the time. Her aunt's family had been running the hot and sour noodle business for eight or nine months. It was almost time for her to collect her share of the profits for a year.
"Don't worry, Auntie. I heard from my aunt that you guys want to rent a shop in the county to sell hot and sour noodles. You need money right now, so you can use it first."
The original rule was to collect the fee for one year, and she would definitely collect it. As the saying goes, brothers should settle accounts clearly.
But there is no need to rush, it will be the same if we settle the accounts together at the end of the year.
"Yes, it doesn't cost much to rent a shop. It's not like you're buying one."
Shen Xinru's spirit and energy are different now. Su Wanwan saw that she was wearing new clothes and a hairpin on her head. She was completely different from the first time she met her.
People are like this. Whether they are happy or not is reflected on their faces.
"Okay then. I'll keep it for now."
Su Wanwan was not polite either. She looked at the silver and found it was quite a lot. She only took 20% of the profit.
My aunt and Wang Baolin must have made a lot of money in the past eight months, probably enough to buy a shop.
"Why doesn't Auntie just buy the shop?"
Su Wanwan asked doubtfully.
"No hurry, let's rent it first and save more money. Baolin is getting old, and I want to save the money for him to marry a wife first."
Seeing her aunt's happy expression, Su Wanwan immediately understood and asked:
"Could it be that Baolin has a girl he likes? Is this a good thing coming?"
Shen Xinru's smile suddenly froze again.
"I do have a girl I like, and she lives in the county, but her family doesn't like us. But I've seen her, she's a good person, and her family is in business, so I thought I could make more money by buying a house in the county and renting a shop. With a house, I can be considered a county resident."
After hearing what her aunt said, a hint of understanding flashed across Su Wanwan's eyes.
A marriage that is not favored by parents is not a good marriage, especially when the other party's parents look down on Wang Baolin. Even if it finally happens, there will probably be many troubles.
But it was Wang Baolin who fell in love with her, and seeing that her aunt also liked the girl very much, she, as a cousin, couldn't say much.
"If the girl is really good and doesn't dislike Baolin, that's not bad."
She responded.
If two people truly love each other and the girl has good character, I think it will work out even if the parents don't agree.
It can also be regarded as a reminder, allowing Aunt and Baolin to observe the girl more and see if she is sincere.
"She didn't dislike him at all. She was completely devoted to Baolin and didn't even hesitate to disobey her father."
Shen Xinru also understood Su Wanwan's reminder. She had heard that the girl's family did not agree, and she was not very happy about it.
But after meeting the girl, she found that she was not only beautiful but also graceful and generous. She was very kind to a country girl like her. She instantly felt that as long as the girl was a good person, it would be fine. They were living together as a couple, not with the other party's family.
Of course, it was also because Baolin really liked the girl and even said that he would not marry anyone else.
As a mother, she could only support her son when he finally fell in love with a girl who was not bad.
"Then if Auntie doesn't have enough money to buy a house, she must ask for it."
Su Wanwan didn't say much, after all, she had never seen the girl.
Besides, she wouldn't care, it's annoying.
