After breakfast the next day, Huang Shuhai and Chu Xiao loaded the things they bought in the past few days and the goods delivered from the North and South grocery stores yesterday into the carriage.
There are not many goods. Because it was the first time to sell, Chu Rong didn't dare to be cruel. She just bought a hundred catties to test the water. If the sales are good, you can send a letter to the shopkeeper here. deliver goods.
However, Chu Xiao bought a lot of things. Big bags and small bags are not heavy to carry, but they take up space. The carriage that was originally spacious enough to accommodate several people suddenly became crowded. Most of it was occupied, so that the two brothers and sisters could only huddle in one corner, looking pitiful.
The three adults are also uncomfortable. Fortunately, the fixed table in the middle can be removed, otherwise there will be no place for the legs.
On the way back, the carriage was faster and entered the county just after noon.
I rushed all the way to the house in Xinghua Lane, opened the door, and put four bags of dried fruit and gifts for Liu Guilan's family here. They wanted to go back to the village directly. These goods had to be taken to the shop, and it would be troublesome to bring them back to the village.
The two little ones and Chu Xiao both expressed curiosity about the suddenly extra house. After finding out that Chu Rong earned money to buy it, Chu Xiao looked at Huang Shuhai with somewhat strange eyes, but the brothers and sisters were more or less curious. I am very happy that my family has a house in the county.
?I went to the house in the county seat, and was delayed for a while. By the time I entered the village, it was already Shenshi, and it was winter again during the slack season. Except for the men who went to the county to do odd jobs, most of them were staying at home.
However, when the carriage drove to the end of the village, several people noticed something strange, and along the way, except for the barking of dogs, they didn't even see a person.
"It's too quiet!" Chu Xiao lifted the curtain of the car and looked out, with a look of suspicion on his face.
Chu Rong and Huang Shuhai looked at each other, and they both saw the puzzlement in each other's eyes. Although the village used to be very peaceful, there were always a few idle women who gathered under the banyan tree in the village to do needlework, and there were people in the yard. You can also hear the voices of the couple arguing.
"Go home first, clean up before going to inquire about it." Chu Rong frowned, thinking of going to the mountain to ask what happened.
Soon the carriage stopped at the gate of the house, and Chu Rong jumped out of the carriage holding the shaft. Just as she was about to open the door, she saw a gap in the door of her own house, and Shoujiang's wife was looking out through the crack.
"Ah, my boss, you are back." The door opened instantly, and Shoujiang's daughter-in-law ran out excitedly.
Hearing what Shoujiang's daughter-in-law said, Chu Rong smiled, "I was thinking about opening the door, but I didn't expect you to be here."
As soon as the words were finished, a few more women came out of the door, Chu Rong looked over in a daze, good guy, the big and small Lin's daughter-in-law, and the two sisters-in-law of the Li family are all there.
Everyone didn't say much, they helped unload the car first, then separated two to boil water, and three to cook. After Chu Rong and his party had finished washing and eating, Huang Shuhai took the two children to rest, and Chu Xiao and Xiaolang also returned to their own room. Then several women surrounded Chu Rong with scars on their faces. A little sad.
After sitting for nearly five minutes, no one spoke. Chu Rong was speechless. She poured a cup of hot tea for herself, and poured cups for several others, saying, "Since you called me here, you must have something to say. Yes, why are you dumb after sitting down?"
After waiting for a while, no one spoke, Chu Rong sighed helplessly, then remembered the strangeness when she entered the village, and asked, "By the way, did something happen in our village? When I came back just now, I didn't see a single person." Woolen cloth."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of the five women opposite changed at the same time. Chu Rong raised her eyebrows in surprise, and then thought of a certain possibility, her face changed instantly, "Could it be that something happened on the mountain?"
"Nono. The mountains are doing well, and the vegetables planted are almost ready to be picked. The chickens and ducks are fine, and some of the ducks have picked up duck eggs."
Dalin's daughter-in-law waved her hands again and again, and answered eagerly, as if she was afraid that Chu Rong might misunderstand that they didn't take good care of the property.
"Okay! Sisters-in-law, although your family members are long-term workers of my family, we have been together for a while. You also know my temper. If you have something to say, or have an opinion on me, it's okay. Bring it up, anything can be discussed.¡±
Chu Rong was really a little angry. Ever since she came back, these people seemed hesitant to speak, but they haven't opened their mouths until now, which made her feel anxious, and her tone of voice was a bit bad.
"Boss, don't be angry, let me tell you." Shoujiang's daughter-in-law took a deep breath, looked at the other four women, and sighed, "The village is like this because of the yamen's notice, what we want to say This is also the case, when Shou Jiang was delivering goods to the county, he happened to see the notice posted in the yamen."
"There are also??Others saw it, and the notice said that a flower picker escaped from the prison, and fled to our villages, and the yamen servants are arresting him. "(Remember this site URL: www.hlnovel.com
