Chapter 17
The atmosphere was a bit delicate, and Mr. Zhou said: "Second, how can you say that about your elder brother? He is the eldest son. Although he doesn't make any money, he is not in charge of everything in the family. Otherwise, each of you can be so neat. Do your own thing?"
"I didn't say anything about my elder brother, but my sister-in-law knew that I was temporarily out of work because of my leg pain, what did she mean by saying that?" "
This...Second uncle, you must be sure Don't worry, I'm just saying it casually." Li Ermei said hurriedly.
"My father just said it casually!" Zhou Yi said tenderly with his eyes wide open. His father was the only one in the family who bullied him, and he had to help.
The topic changed, Mr. Zhou took a puff of cigarette, and said: "Since you have received a deposit, there is nothing you can do, but go pick up the work after you are done." The second child of Zhou endured and endured, clenched his
hands He let go again, and in the end he was still uneasy, and looked straight at Mr. Zhou: "Father, do you still consider me your son? Brother, do you consider me your brother?" Zhou Yi knew that Zhou's second child still had
trouble I am ready to let go of the hurdle in my heart.
"Second, what nonsense are you talking about? Why don't I treat you as my son? If I don't treat you as my son, can I raise you for you to take a wife?" Old man Zhou's face also sank.
Boss Zhou also quickly said: "Second, don't you make us sad by saying that?"
Zhou Er closed his eyes, Zhou Yi stepped forward to hold his hand, Wang Yan also looked at Zhou Lao Er worriedly, son The immature palms warmed Zhou Laoer's cold heart: "If you treat me as a son, brother, why am I not even qualified to listen when there is a big family event?
" Confused, I don't know what he is talking about, but Mr. Zhou seems to have thought of something, and his face is a little ugly.
"The third child took thirty taels of silver from the house, none of you were left behind, even the married daughters could listen, but you left me alone, so you still say that I am a family? I am in your eyes , it’s just a long-term worker who can earn money.” Zhou Laoer laughed miserably after finishing speaking.
His words made Mr. Zhou's body tremble, and Mr. Zhou said: "We didn't intentionally miss you..." Zhou Yi sneered, it was not intentional, which made people feel even more chilling, which means that these people habitually don't treat Zhou The second child was taken seriously, and they subconsciously didn't regard Zhou's second child as a relative.
Boss Zhou's words made Zhou Er even more disheartened. Forget it, he finally saw the psychology of these people clearly.
Zhou's mother had been trying not to speak, but now she couldn't help it: "What's wrong, you feel uncomfortable seeing the third child take the money? You are a little married woman, and you still want to be a family member..." "Pa
" The loud slap startled everyone in the room. Everyone looked at Mr. Zhou in disbelief. Mr. Zhou had never hit Mrs. Zhou in all these years.
And Zhou's mother opened her two cloudy eyes, unable to believe it. After accepting the facts, she screamed suddenly, "You hit me, you hit me because of a little woman..., me and you Fight." While yelling, he wanted to reach out to scratch Mr. Zhou.
Mr. Zhou knocked his bags under his eyes on the kang table, and his voice could freeze: "If you continue to make trouble, get out of Mr. Zhou's house." Zhou's
mother looked at Mr. Zhou's eyes full of anger, and stopped her movements. She knew What kind of person is this husband who has been sleeping together for twenty years? Feeling guilty, she just sobbed softly. She pulled Boss Zhou: "Boss, my mother's life is hard..." The second Zhou saw that old man Zhou
unexpectedly Slapping Zhou's mother, he was shocked at first, and then relieved. He had been tortured by Zhou's mother when he was a child, and he had long been extremely tired of this aunt.
"Second brother, your aunt is talking nonsense, you must not be greedy, and what you said about the third child taking money, I didn't want you to know, but I just thought that you were too tired, so I didn't call you." Mr. Zhou It was rare to show a smile to Zhou Laoer.
"Father, I know how everyone treats me. You don't have to use these face-saving words to bully me. After all, no one is a fool. I am getting old, my body is not as good as before, and my leg disease is getting worse. I can take on some easy jobs, and the money given to you may not be as much as before, when the time comes... everyone save some money." After speaking, he took the family out of the upper room.
Zhou's mother didn't care to cry anymore, she grabbed Boss Zhou and asked: "What does he mean by this, what does it mean that the money paid is not as much as before, what should the family do?
" You don't understand what you mean by leaving your heart, if you didn't talk badly all day long and swear at the second child, would he be able to do this?" Old Master Zhou shouted loudly.
"Okay, you're blaming me! Listen to yourself, why is he eccentric? You didn't call him when you were discussing things. That's why you were so narrow-minded. You turned against him. How dare you disobey him..." Zhou Mother yelled.
Boss Zhou wasn't that worried, after all, it wasn't just their eldest family who needed money in this family.
Zheng Ying looked at the chaotic crowd and sneered in her heart. She really didn't understand. Since she knew that the only earner in this family was Zhou Er Er, how could Zhou's mother be so confident that she would be so indifferent to the second room? People beat or scold.
Sooner or later, the family will be broken up, but thinking of the husband who is stupid in studying, he can't help but feel sad. If they can't take advantage of the house, how will they live their lives after the fourth house.
Zhou Er Er came out of the upper room, and his steps suddenly became much lighter. When he spoke, the haze in his heart seemed to dissipate. Hearing the voices of the upper room complaining to each other, he understood for the first time that in this home, speaking to them There is no family relationship, only interests.
"Father..." Zhou Yi pulled Zhou Laoer back and looked at him worriedly, fearing that he would be depressed and die young or something.
"Son, hahaha, dad is fine, I'm going to earn some money, and I'll leave you a family fortune in the future." Zhou Er Er picked Zhou Yi up and said heartily.
Seeing that her husband was fine, Wang Yan breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhou Laoer began to devote himself to making baby carriages. The previous batch of production had already made Zhou Laoer proficient. With Wang Yan and several children helping him, his speed was much faster.
I was afraid that five days would be too late, but I didn't expect to finish it in four days.
This time, I called Old Man Li’s ox cart as usual, and gave him thirty Wen to cover his whole day. The happy old man Li couldn’t find the north, and he usually earns ten Wen a day, which is not bad.
This time Wang Yan also followed. After all, there were so many baby carriages that Zhou Er Er couldn't handle it all by himself, so Zhou Yi also followed.
Last time because of the Qian landlord case, he didn't take a good look at the county at all. This time he went to deliver goods, and he was able to walk around half of the county.
When he arrived at the county seat, Zhou Lao Er began to deliver the goods according to the address.
Sitting on the bullock cart, Zhou Yi finally fulfilled his long-cherished wish of visiting most of the county. This time the stroller was sold for a total of seventy taels of silver. Zhou Er Er has calmed down a lot after the last shock.
But the bad news also came. Some people have started to imitate the stroller. Some buyers told Zhou Laoer that if it wasn't for the deposit, they might have bought it elsewhere.
At the end of the day, several people were very tired, sitting in the noodle shop, because old man Li was there, Zhou Lao Er didn't go into details, only vaguely said: "Someone else is also making small cars." "Ah, what should we do?
" Yan is very distressed, she has earned so much money in just a few days, if she can continue like this, she will not be rich!
Zhou Yi wasn't too surprised. He could only lament that there are smart people everywhere. In just a few days, copycats have appeared. In this era without patents, this loss can only be paid for.
Zhou Laoer took a look at old man Li, said something before going back, and turned his attention to eating noodles.
Old man Li's family only has two acres of land, and the family has a large population. Usually, wild vegetables are mixed with coarse grains to make porridge.
Now a bowl of fine noodles was placed in front of him, and after some excuses, he couldn't bear his appetite, so he ate it in big mouthfuls, and finally even drank the soup.
After eating, he sighed: "Thanks to brother Zhou Zhou, I didn't expect that I could eat such a big bowl of white noodles, and the wages are so high."
Zhou Laoer said with a smile: "Follow us today and take half of the county town . It’s all gone, so hard work, how can you suffer.”
When they finished eating and were about to pay the bill and leave, they suddenly heard the two people next door discussing: “Have you heard that the case of Qian Landlord has been sentenced.”
