Allure of a Country Maiden

Mr. Shen thought for a moment before speaking: "Third son, our family relies on the income from the grocery store in the town. As you know, the opening of your store has caused the grocery store to have no business at all in the past few days. If things continue like this, , how can that be done?”

"My store is just a newly opened store with lots of discounts, and people are curious about new things. The freshness in everyone's hearts is warm, so the business is getting better. After a while, the newness will pass. "Yes." Shen Chengyao explained, and at the same time he felt helpless. What did his father mean by saying this? Do you want him to close the supermarket and use his eldest brother's grocery store instead?

"No!" Xiaoer nodded. How can you do this if you have no income for a long time? but……

The things in the supermarket are a few cents more expensive than the things in the grocery stores outside. Of course, the quality is also much better. It is true that she and Shen Chengyao purchase everything in the supermarket. The three brothers buy it when they are resting. Together with the three brothers, we visited everywhere and shopped around before settling on one. The quality is of course top notch!

But because the price is expensive, not everyone can accept it. Except for the price reduction during promotions, it is much more expensive at other times, so it will definitely have an impact on outside grocery stores, but in the long run the impact will not be too big. .

"It's okay if Xiao'er knows that it won't work. There is no income from the grocery store. How can our family eat? Your grandparents live with us. It doesn't matter if we are hungry. We can't starve two old people! Parents care about their children. You have worked hard all your life, and it is time to enjoy peace and happiness in your old age!" Mrs. Lan said as if she was always thinking about the elderly, and she spoke sincerely.

"I have known that the eldest uncle is filial. Now that the fourth aunt is pregnant with her younger brother, it is inconvenient to help the eldest uncle with housework. The eldest uncle came back from town immediately. I know that the eldest uncle is very filial. A filial person like the eldest uncle , the eldest uncle will definitely not leave the two old people back to the town in the future, and will definitely stay here to serve grandma until they grow old. But the eldest uncle doesn’t have to worry that grandpa will have no food because of the poor business of the shop, my dad Every month, I will give grandma 10 taels of silver as a pension. I don’t think grandpa and grandma can eat up these 10 taels of silver even if they eat meat every meal, let alone white rice!"

"Wen'er still wants to study. How can he do it without the income from the grocery store? Wen'er is about to go to Qiuwei. Now our shop can't even make a penny every day. How will he get the money to go to Qiuwei by then!" Hearing Xiaoer say that he would stay here to serve two immortals forever, his face turned dark, but he couldn't deny anything and could only put it another way.

"When we went out, my parents discussed it. It was almost autumn, and they, as uncles and aunts, had to do something for their nephew, so they specially prepared ten taels of silver for the traveling expenses, food and accommodation expenses for the eldest cousin. I thought that my grandma would give it to my cousin. Since my uncle’s family is here, let me give it to my cousin. Our family wishes him three yuan in a row!" Xiaoer took out ten taels of silver and put it on the Kang table, blocking Lan's mouth. . well! Being rich means being willful!

Shen Chengyao glanced at Xiaoer, when did they prepare ten taels of silver? Recently, he has been so busy that he has forgotten about Qiu Wei. But he didn't say anything, he couldn't tear his daughter down.

"How can ten taels of silver be enough?" Lan said dissatisfied.

"Ten taels of silver is not enough? Dad, my brother and his friends are studying in the county. Don't they only need about ten taels of silver a year? My cousin only takes the college examination in the county. After passing the examination as a scholar, he can go to the capital to participate in the autumn period. It’s only a few days, am I remembering correctly? We even included the travel expenses, food and accommodation to Fucheng, how could it not be enough?” He always talked about participating in Qiuwei even though he hadn’t passed the college examination. It’s good to have lofty ideals, but Be realistic!

After hearing this, Lan didn't know how to reply. She planned to wait until her son passed the examination to become a scholar. She would use money to get through the examiner so that Wen'er could successfully pass the provincial examination, win the examination, and then donate to become an official. How about that? Get several thousand taels.

Of course, she didn't dare to think about it before, but now that the third family is so rich, what does it matter if she spends a few thousand taels to help her nephew! It's just a drop in the bucket.

When Wen'er wins the exam and becomes an official, as their uncles, who dares not to give him some face! At that time, their family will not want to please their own family! At that time, she couldn't stand a thousand taels!

"Of course the travel expenses are enough, but apart from the travel expenses, the imperial examination also requires other things." Lan said darkly.

"Auntie, you can rest assured that the poor business in the grocery store is only temporary. When the freshness of the people wears off, your store's business will become normal. By then, you will have money to help your cousin. As uncles, we Gentlemen, just be considerate of your nephew's children's examination. How can he surpass his biological parents? In the future, my brother and the others will not ask his aunt to help with the money when they take the imperial examination. My brother and the others don't need to pay for it. If they want to, they can just do it. Tell my brother and the others to stop reading."

After hearing this, Mr. Shen and Shen Chengguang's faces became gloomy, and Lan's face turned red and black!

Sure enough, the third family would not give this money, ten taels of silver, just send it to a beggar!

"Well, when Wen'er becomes an official in the future, don't get involved. If you ask me for anything in the future, I won't accept even a few thousand taels!" Lan was angry and said what was in her heart without thinking. out.

Xiaoer lowered her head, her eyes full of sarcasm, so whimsical! If she helped the son of such a person become an official, she must have committed a crime that harmed the people of that area! Now she regrets even taking out the ten taels of silver!

"Third brother, your eldest brother doesn't have enough money to spare. If you have any, help him!" Mr. Shen ordered directly.

"Dad, I've helped all I can." Shen Chengyao shook his head in embarrassment.

"Third brother, you dare not even listen to my words!" Mr. Shen said with a dark face and a serious tone.

"Dad, I can't help you!" Shen Chengyao said in embarrassment.

"Okay, forget it if you don't want to help. Then close that supermarket of yours. Otherwise, you'll take away all the grocery store's business and you're not willing to help. What a big deal!"

Shen Chengyao:......

"Master, why don't we listen to reasonable requests, but we always make unreasonable requests and excessive demands? How can we do it! Uncle is not the only grocery store in this town, why don't others come to our store to ask for it?" It's closed! Our family only follows the right path and is a down-to-earth person. We will not do anything that is not the right path or unfair!" Whoever is willing to help such a person will not be happier the more he abuses him!

If you don't agree with me, you will show off your face, or even threaten me! Sister, I hate being threatened the most!

"Sir, I believe my eldest cousin must have gone all the way to high school. Things need to be taken care of there. We have something to do at home, so let's go first!"

Xiaoer softened her tone, pulled the dazed Shen Chengyao away.

Alas, his father was hit again!

Mr. Shen looked at Shen Chengyao being dragged away by Xiao'er, feeling angry for no reason, but even though they were talking about this, they didn't listen, and there was nothing he could do about it. He couldn't make a fuss about this matter, and they were unreasonable.

I can only say to Shen Chengguang, "Wen'er's matter is not in a hurry. It's just the first step. Let's take a look first."

Lan's heart was even more disgusted with Sanfang. Just wait, when Wen'er passes the exam and becomes an official, she will definitely...! Lan clenched his fists with both hands.
