Chapter 116 Hunter
Unexpectedly, Shen Huai gave more, "If your Seventh Uncle and Nineteenth Aunt are willing to go out and run around, 20/80, they will get 8."
"Is 37 not enough? After we cover all the expenses along the way, we only actually get 28." Shen Lingzhu felt that it was too much.
Shen Huai picked up a bill handed over by Shen He and said, "It's 20/80. We only provide the drawings and some of the items, and they are responsible for the rest.
At that time, they can travel as far and wide as they wish."
Mrs. Hu took the banknote handed back by Shen Lingzhu and said, "Nineteen has always wanted to buy a four-harness lifting machine, she will definitely be willing to go.
But as for your seventh brother, he is not very determined, so you'd better discuss it with your second uncle and second aunt first.
After all, if they go further south, the journey will be long and expensive, and the population is not as large as in the capital and Zhending."
"You can go to Nanzhili. It's definitely more prosperous than Zhending." Shen Lingzhu suggested a direction.
But unexpectedly, his eldest uncle waved his hand and said, "As long as your seventh uncle sells two or three houses over there, the bellows method will spread far and wide before he sets out for the next town.
This is because there are many merchants in Nanzhili and the population circulation is too fast.
The silver he earned from selling the goods was not enough to cover the round-trip fare."
Shen Lingzhu thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed the case. "Well, how about we go to Zhending and find some southern merchants to sell us the blueprints?"
"I'm afraid someone has already bought a bellows rocking chair and taken it south.
Come on, come with me and wash the grapes." Shen Miaozhu broke her fantasy.
She slapped her thigh suddenly and said, "Brother didn't buy the vat and basin. Will he remember them when he comes back later?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't remember. We only picked eight baskets of grapes today." Shen Miaozhu didn't allow her to delay any longer and pulled her to wash them in a bucket.
Mrs. Hu watched the two sisters go into the yard and call the Chang children who were piling firewood. They lifted up the large baskets and walked out. She couldn't help but sigh, "In just a few months, they've done more work than they did in their entire lives."
She pressed the banknotes and said, "Most of this money was earned by my two children."
Shen Huai did not agree any more: “Well, they have been holding back since they knew that their second brother owed a lot of money.
I'll pay off Mr. Geng tomorrow, and they should feel more relaxed."
“I don’t think their enthusiasm will diminish.
Living at the foot of the mountain is never a safe place, and winter is hard to endure." Hu patted her belly. The two little ones would also live here this winter.
Upon hearing this, Shen Huai pondered for a moment and said, "How about going back to the old house and building a few rooms?
Now that the weather is clear and crisp in autumn, we can build and dry the plants quickly."
Mrs. Hu glanced at him and said, "Believe it or not, the moment you start building it, the county magistrate will send someone to check it out. He doesn't need to say much, just a hint or two, and Village Chief Xia will definitely come to persuade you to stop.
Don't make things difficult for us. Look at the big and small bamboos, they are actively preparing for firewood and are already preparing for the winter."
Shen Huai held her hand: "I'm sorry for making you suffer."
"As long as the family is safe and sound, a little hardship won't matter." Mrs. Hu patted the back of his hand gently, but the next moment when she heard him say that his second brother didn't know what to do, she quickly pushed his hand away, took the banknotes and went back to the east bedroom and locked it.
Shen Huai knew that she blamed her second brother for what he had done, so he sighed and said, "I'll go wash the grapes."
When he got to the stream, he found that the children had already taken all the grapes out of the baskets and were working together.
Some people washed the fruits and put them by the stream, and then someone else picked the fruits one by one and put them back into the big basket.
But there were no big or small bamboos among the people working. Upon asking, I found out that Xia Wanglai had called the two children to dig bamboo shoots in the bamboo forest on the mountainside.
He walked towards the bamboo forest worriedly but didn't see anyone. After shouting several times without any response, Shen Huai felt a little panicked.
But after quickly searching the small bamboo forest, he was not so panicked because there was no trace of bamboo shoots that had just been dug here.
He recalled the children's response: "Little Bamboo said, 'Brothers, Erwang wants us to dig bamboo shoots.'"
Thinking about it now, these words seemed a bit deliberate.
Shen Huai returned to the stream again and asked the young men of the Chang family if they had seen Xiao Zhuzi and the other two returning to the village.
Several teenagers said they didn't see anything. He couldn't help but frown and look towards the back mountain. Could it be that they secretly went up the mountain to hunt again?
In fact, Shen Lingzhu and the other two did not go up the mountain, but took a shortcut to the Seven Stars Observation Hunter.
The one being hunted was Shen Jianxuan, who was afraid of being beaten again and had run to the Qixing Temple to hide.
"Jiang Xiaojiang, who was a close friend of his, said that every time they got into trouble at home, they would run to the firewood room at Qixing Temple and hide.
Occasionally, if they come across a Taoist priest making something delicious, they can secretly satisfy their cravings." Xia Wang would come and inform them as soon as he got the latest news.
It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge, but Shen Lingzhu took revenge on the same day.
She said, "It's impossible for the Taoist priests not to notice."
The reason why I am so sure is that my senior sister is currently learning how to make medicinal food from the Taoist priest who is in charge of the kitchen.
The long man had a stable lower body and a plump body, but when he walked he gave people the illusion that he was as light as a swallow.
Later, my senior sister said that all the Taoist priests, big and small, in the Qixing Temple had the habit of practicing martial arts and boxing every day.
Out of curiosity, I even went to see in person. I found that the Taoist priests were definitely not practicing fancy health-preserving boxing, but the legendary high-powered martial arts.
Therefore, if anyone hides in the woodshed, the Taoist priest will find them immediately, and there is a 99% chance that leaving food there is intentional.
"I hope Shen Jianxuan is already in the Qixing Temple now." Shen Lingzhu would not be able to make sense unless he beat him up or beat him harder.
Shen Miaozhu reminded the two that it was impossible to beat him in public, and they had to coax him out, so they ambushed him on the road and beat him.
Xia Wang patted his chest and promised that he would coax the man out of the Taoist temple, and as soon as he arrived at the temple gate, he would ask the Taoist boy he was familiar with about Shen Jianxuan's whereabouts.
What's more, the little boy really knew where the person was hiding, and Xia Wang found him without any effort.
He immediately said, "Shen Jianxuan, do you know that your family is splitting up because you always cause trouble?"
"Impossible!" Shen Jianxuan would not believe everything he said.
Xia Wang continued, "We've already invited all the heads of the Shen family. I even went to ask Uncle He Qi."
Shen Jianxuan stared at his face, which didn't look like he was lying, and asked, "Seventh Uncle? Isn't he doing business for Fifth Uncle?
If you don't harvest the autumn harvest, why come to Qixingguan?"
"Uncle He Qi has returned, I came to get some medicine to reduce fever.
Believe it or not, your mother was so angry that she kept crying, and your grandmother even beat her several times..."
Before Xia Wang could finish his last sentence, Shen Jianxuan had already run out from a side hall and quickly left the gate. He chased after him like a whirlwind.
The little Taoist boys looked up at the sky, wondering why two young men suddenly appeared and ran so fast.
"Hehe!" Xia Wang was very happy. It turned out that his second aunt said that as long as Shen Jianxuan heard his mother being beaten, he would definitely go home to see the truth.
Shen Jianxuan, who was not caught up, ran faster and faster, but when he was not paying attention, his foot was tripped by a bamboo that suddenly extended out.
