Until carrying 10 Wen out of the shop door, Chen still some can not believe, their son did not spend money to pick up the rags, but even let himself earn 6. This purse sewing up, than their own usually do the purse spend time is also a little less it.
Four aunts, great aunt asked Chen’s origin of the purse as soon as she went out, Chen’s habit of showing off, on the spot to sell his son, praised his son to see people’s cloth shop rags look good, picked up a basket home, because his father where to buy cloth, people did not give him to ask for money to send him.
The fourth aunt heard, then eyes are straight, and repeatedly urged us to quickly go to the cloth shop to pick up rags. Auntie walked directly towards the cloth shop.
A few sisters-in-law walked quickly to the shop and asked the shopkeeper when they reached the shop.
“Oh, you guys also want rags, but you’re too late, someone just bought all the recent rags for two cents.” The shop boy replied with a disinterested face.
Late?
Someone got here first?
The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt were gloomy and devastated, as if all the silver that had been in their hands was gone.
Chen is indifferent, last time Zhu Ping’an picked up home rags and half a basket, enough to sew dozens of purses. This time, there is no impact on the broken cloth, next time to come back to pick up on the good.
However, Chen ignored the shopkeeper’s business acumen, the shopkeeper saw that some people spent two dollars to buy the rags, and not a moment later someone else came to ask, it seems that the rags are also useful, and thought that the next time to save the good rags will have to raise the price properly.
The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt hung their heads in shame and went to look for Zhu’s father and the fourth uncle to see how much the wild boar had been sold for.
Halfway there, they saw the fat paper Zhu Pingan, who was carrying a large basket of rags and giggling.
The fourth aunt and the eldest aunt immediately froze, so it was the swine who bought the rags.
Chen’s eyes lit up, stinky son good, or my son has the brains, spend two yuan to buy such a large basket of rags, which has to do how many wallets ah, each wallet 0 Wen…… Chen suddenly felt that Zhu Pingan and Zhu Pingchuan were not carrying a basket of rags, but a basket of coins.
“Swine child ah, you get so many rags for what, go back to the aunt half it.” Auntie Four had no sense of embarrassment and asked for half.
Great Auntie was not shy to ask for half of it either.
Zhu Pingan was speechless, you guys are really nice, half for each of you, wouldn’t my mother not have a single piece of cloth?
“Don’t, I’ll go back and sell it to my mother to make money for her daughter-in-law.” Zhu Pingan, relying on himself as a child, his head shook like a rattlesnake drum, but also took the excuse of saving money to get a daughter-in-law out to use.
Fourth Aunt and Great Aunt also remembered the last time the New Year’s money was used, and Chen couldn’t do anything about it.
“Even your mother, you have to sell before giving?” Fourth Aunt asked aloud in surprise.
Zhu Pingan head.
“Then it’s better if you sell it to us as well. You spent two Wen from the cloth shop, how about this, Auntie will give you four Wen, you give it all to Auntie.” Auntie Four’s eyes rolled, and she immediately opened her mouth to lure in, “To earn two Wen for a resale, don’t be too cost-effective.”
“Swine child, Great Auntie will give you 5 Wen, you give it to Great Auntie.” Eldest Auntie wasn’t willing to show weakness either.
Chen was in a hurry, lest Zhu Pingan agree in a brainstorm.
You guys are really good at settling accounts, Zhu Pingan ignored it, instead he turned around and raised his head to ask Chen, “Mother, ah, how much did you sell one of the purses you made out of scraps of cloth.”
“Twenty Wen, the usual ones are only sold for ten Wen.” Chen was excited.
“Oh, two rags can make a purse, I’ll just sell you two rags for 5 Wen, who let me know you so well. Mother, you too. It’s not that I want to make money, I still have to buy paper and ink for school besides getting married.” Zhu Pingan counted with his fingers for half a day, lifted his head, and told his fourth aunt and great aunt in a serious manner.
Two pieces of rags cost 5 Wen! Fourth Aunt and Great Aunt immediately opened their mouths wide, that big basket of rags must have thousands of rags, you bought it for two cents and then sold it hundreds of times! You’re too greedy.
This stinky son is really lucky, if only he had realised the usefulness of the rags earlier. Fourth Aunt and First Aunt thought to themselves, they didn’t think that Zhu Pingan had brains, they just thought that Zhu Pingan had been lucky.
Chen was originally happy, but when she heard that Zhu Pingan was charging money for the same, she immediately pulled her face down.
“I let you ask for money for mother all, I let you ……” Chen went up and grabbed Zhu Pingan and pressed it onto her lap to scare him, making gestures to spank.
“Good good, don’t charge you money anymore, don’t charge you money anymore.” Zhu Pingan hurriedly surrendered, originally did not want to charge Chen’s money, just so for the fourth aunt and great aunt.
Chen could use the method of scaring and spanking to make Zhu Pingan give in, but Fourth Aunt and Great Aunt could not use this method. However, if they were to spend 5 Wen to buy two pieces of rags, especially knowing that Zhu Ping An’s large basket of rags only cost a total of Wen, they were even more reluctant to give up.
Although Chen wanted to use the basket all by herself, she knew that she couldn’t be too greedy, or else how could her sisters-in-law get along with each other? Moreover, such a big basket, they have to sew until the monkey years and months to finish it. Moreover, a gentleman loves his money, how can he pay attention to his own family?
“Your great-uncle and third and fourth aunts can’t receive money either.” Chen did not let go of Zhu Pingan and continued to press on her leg, bluffing.
Great Auntie and the girls immediately cast a grateful gaze at Chen.
“Don’t, I still have to save up for a daughter-in-law.”
Zhu Pingan was pressed on Chen’s lap, but did not let go, anyway, he is a child, this age is the age to protect things.
“Let you save, let you save.”
The big one has to save money to get a daughter-in-law, Chen’s funny and angry, to Zhu Pingan’s buttocks is two slaps.
“Ouch.” Zhu Pingan wailed.
“Do you still want money.” Chen stopped her hand and asked.
“No more, none of it.” Zhu Pingan shouted loudly, just now also figured out that, so big a basket, the eldest aunt and the fourth aunt is not willing to spend 5 wen to buy two pieces of all buy away, and so many rags, just by mother and the eldest aunt and their sister-in-laws for a period of time can not be done. It’s not a good idea to charge for your own family in this day and age, and it’s not the modern age where brothers and sisters are clear about their accounts.
It would be better to have a good reputation, tightly they use it, anyway, they can not be used up, their own eyes why on their own family. The village so many needlework good women it, they might as well give them the excess cloth processing, and then 10 wen a purse collected, they do not need to produce raw materials, just move their hands can earn the same money as their original, but also do not need to run to town, surely willing to.
Seeing that Zhu Pingan had returned to his senses, Chen revealed a satisfied smile. Great Auntie and the girls also revealed smiles and were very grateful to Chen.
The family was all happy.
