Chapter 106 Bullying others with power

The jars of pickles were packed and locked in the room. Although the seal was pretty good, some smells still came out. Mrs. Sun was very dissatisfied and encouraged Mrs. Jiang to bring out some pickles to share with everyone.

Mrs. Jiang actually brought out some pickles to share with everyone, but they were the pickles she eats every day at home, pickled mustard greens last fall.

Most of the pickled mustard dumplings are almost eaten after a winter and a spring, and the rest are at the bottom of the jar, that is, the ones that have been pickled for the longest time, and are naturally much saltier.

After Mrs. Sun ate it, she couldn't help but vomited it out: "Bah, bah, bah, bah!"

"Those who are as honest as our fourth brother and sister have learned to be evil and are playing tricks on us!

This is nothing like the smell in their house!"

On the agreed date, Erlang followed the agreed order one by one and went to the restaurants to deliver the goods. In fact, the delivery dates were also staggered - after all, the dates agreed upon at the beginning were also different.

However, when Mrs. Sun saw Erlang running back and forth to help the fourth house with work, she became very angry and stopped Erlang from going out.

Several times before, Erlang always bypassed her and walked directly.

Later, Mrs. Sun directly blocked the door and prevented Erlang from going out, so Erlang had to use his trump card - "Mom, what do you think you are doing? I'm helping my fourth uncle with some work, and I won't do it in vain."

"

"What are you doing for nothing? You just know how to coax me! Your fourth aunt is not willing to give it to me when I ask for pickles. How can she treat you better by fooling me with last year's old pickle lumps? Don't go, look.

Get deceived by her again!"

"How can that be done?"

Erlang laughed, took Sun's arm, entered the house, reached out and took out a few copper coins from his sleeve, and handed them to Sun's hand:

"Nuo. You'll get paid for one day's work.

One penny a day, three pence two days, if you can work for a full month, it will be calculated as five pence three days!

It was just an errand, and the fourth aunt was already very kind.

Not to mention that I am the nephew of my fourth aunt, even if I am a neighbor in the village, if anyone calls me to help, why should I not go?

But don’t make this matter public.

If my father finds out, you won't be able to keep a penny!"

Sun's eyes immediately shone, and she grabbed the copper coin in Erlang's hand:

"Okay, Mom, don't tell me. I've saved everything for you, so I can get you a wife!"

Erlang smiled: "Mom, don't worry about marrying me a wife. You can keep this money to buy some snacks."

Mrs. Sun was coaxed by Erlang so much that she smiled brightly and her eyes were a little moist:

"My eldest son is the best!"

Erlang smiled and comforted her and said: "Mom, please rest at home and rest peacefully. My son will go out to earn money for you!"

From then on, Mrs. Sun never stopped Erlang from going out to "run errands for the fourth house".

However, Xia Yougui couldn't bear to see Erlang being "idle" like this.

But he was too embarrassed to openly stop Erlang from "helping the fourth room".

It's just that my family was away from home, so I complained several times, saying that if Erlang recovered from his injury, he should stop wandering around, and that it was normal for Ma Liudi to work in the fields.

Erlang's leg injury is indeed gradually getting better.

Xia Yougui talked to him a few times, and Erlang returned to his former self.

Without getting angry or arguing, he went to the fields and continued working as before.

In fact, Erlang only seemed to be working hard, but compared to before, his work efficiency was actually much worse.

Xia Yougui also realized it, and he roared at Erlang several times.

But Erlang frowned every time and worked silently, not taking his roar seriously at all.

Xia Yougui felt very aggrieved.

Because, outside, Xia Yougui didn't dare to go too far.

After all, Mr. Xia and the brothers from other houses were all aware of what was happening on his side.

In front of them, he could shout at Erlang, but he couldn't do anything casually, let alone copy him.

Otherwise, Mr. Xia would be the first to be unable to spare him.

Furthermore, since he was recruited from the army and returned injured, Erlang's temper has become much stronger.

Xia Yougui was also vaguely aware of this difference.

He was also afraid that if he pushed too hard, Erlang's temper would rise and he would completely fall out with him.

Because Xia Yougui had some scruples, and Sun got a few copper coins every now and then, Erlang and Taohua helped the fourth house with work, and everything went smoothly at home.

But things in business didn't go so smoothly.

Currently, five of the seven restaurants that have business dealings with the Xia family have settled their accounts happily, but there are still two that have not paid their bills on time.

The remaining two restaurants, one called "Shenxian Zui" and the other called "Furong Ju", seem to be owned by the same force.

Erlang went to collect payment twice, and the first time he was kind to him. He told him that the boss had gone out, and the accountant would go to collect the debt and would not be back for a few days.

The second time we went back, "Shenxian Zui" sent a few guys to drive Erlang out and scolded him for cheating.

And "Furongju" went too far. Not only did they kick Erlang out, but they also asked the waiters to beat him up.

Although Erlang's leg injury had healed, he was at a disadvantage when running, so he still took a few blows and came back with a bruised nose and face.

When Erlang told Sun and Xia Yougui, he did not mention that he had suffered a repudiation. He only said that he had just recovered from his leg injury and was not very energetic. While dodging cars and horses on the road, he accidentally fell into a ditch on the roadside.

But to the Sifang couple and Xia Daohua, Erlang confessed very depressedly.

He felt a little regretful and a little unfair:

"I never expected that the immortals Zui and Furongju would use such despicable means to default on their debts!

They were the two families who wanted to buy this prescription at first, but we didn't want to sell it, but they kept pestering us.

Maybe he will hold grudges by then.

In this business, they probably dug a hole deliberately for us to jump out of!"

Xia Daohua calculated her family's losses.

The immortal drunk ordered fifty jars of dried radish and fifty jars of spicy cabbage, all of which were large jars of the largest size weighing ten kilograms.

But Furongju asked for more. They ordered a hundred jars of dried radish and spicy cabbage, both of which were in the largest 10-pound package.

Dried radish of this size costs three coins per jar, and spicy cabbage costs four coins per jar.

After all, Shenxianzui owed Xia Daohua thirty-five taels of silver, while Furongju owed Xia Daohua seventy taels of silver...

With so much money, it's no wonder that these two restaurants are so unfaithful.

I guess they probably made inquiries and found out that the Xia family has no connections and no power behind them to rely on.

To put it bluntly, it is just bullying others.

But am I so greedy for Xia Daohua’s things?

Xia Daohua is ready to teach these two restaurants a lesson.

She comforted Erlang softly, but after saying a few words, her face suddenly became a little ugly.

Erlang said embarrassedly: "Daohua, you don't have to comfort me. I will definitely find a way to get this money back."

Xia Daohua shook her head: "I'm not blaming you, I just suddenly thought of something."
