Otherworldly Days

Chapter 447 32

"Second brother, do you want to make peace with second brother?" Cao Xiangnan subconsciously turned his head to look at his father and elder brother when he heard Wang Yan's words.

Everyone's parents are here, so it's not appropriate for a fourth uncle to take care of these things, right?

Father Cao, who heard this in the room, frowned, and said with a sullen face, "Wang Yan, what nonsense are you talking about! I think you have broken your brain. Turn around and ask the doctor to grab some medicine for you. Take this Hu's disease was cured."

"Fourth uncle, I'm not talking nonsense." Wang Yan was determined to reconcile with his husband. He looked at his fourth uncle and pleaded, "Fourth uncle, only you can help me with this matter." Me, I, Wang Yan, beg you, I will kneel down for you."

He hated, hated the man who abused him and knocked out the child in his stomach, and hated everyone in the compound.It turned out that he also hated his fourth uncle, thinking that his family had become a place that was harmed by his fourth uncle.In fact, in the final analysis, it was his husband's own problem. He specialized in sneaky things before it fell into the hands of his fourth uncle.

In the past, he and Fu Lang felt that there was no need to do anything, and that life was better than anyone else.But during the days when Fu Lang was not around, it was difficult for his elder brother and the child to live, and gradually understood many things that he did not understand before.

Finally, when Fulang came back, he still thought that his fourth uncle would now have a way to make a fortune. He had attracted so many people to make a fortune, and he was paving roads and building a school in the village, so he asked Fulang to ask for money from his fourth uncle. With only one job, he can earn a few dollars a year from farming, raising chickens and ducks, and working hard with his husband, he can live a better life.

Unexpectedly, Fulang came back a few days after he left, and spent the whole day cursing and saying how harsh his fourth uncle was to him.Later, Wang Yan also gradually realized that his fourth uncle was not such a bad person, otherwise he would not have asked someone to bring rice grains to his family when he was away with a few young husbands. Shu Xiu, the child's book, was sent by someone from my fourth uncle.

Fu Lang has a lame leg, so if he doesn't want to work, he doesn't want to do it. It's difficult for him to support a family and raise children.After the family was separated, he would have some spare money in his hands, and his life became more and more hopeful.

He never thought that his husband would steal the money he saved once or twice. In the first few times, he took only scattered copper coins and let him forget it. He hid the rest of the silver in a secret place, and let him Fu Lang was found.When he returned from the field the day before yesterday, he saw his husband rummaging in the house and found the money bag he had hidden. He tried desperately to get it back, but was beaten up by his husband, who took the money The bag is gone.

What happened later turned into what it is now, and Wang Yan knew that life with his husband would be difficult for her.If today he just reconciles with his husband, he doesn't want to live like this again.

"Don't, don't, second brother, I can't afford it." Cao Xiangnan hastily held down the person who was about to kneel for him, his head ached.He just wants to slap himself twice, to make you a good person and to do good deeds!

His hand hurt from being grabbed by Wang Yan, and Cao Xiangnan couldn't pull it back even if he wanted to, but at this moment he could only be patient, coaxing the locals to let go of his hand first.

Wang Yan was not stupid either, she clung to him and begged him with tears in her eyes.

"Second brother, this reconciliation is not a trivial matter. If you reconcile with second brother, what will happen to those children? Have you ever thought about it. How will you live in the future after your brother reconciles with you? This and Leaving is not a matter of just leaving and leaving, you should think carefully about it and don't be arrogant." In fact, Cao Xiangnan also knows that his second brother is not a good person, and Wang Yan will suffer and suffer all his life following him.

Father Cao stood there watching, feeling angry and anxious.

"I think clearly." Wang Yan shook her head.

"Second brother, I think if I can help you on the ground, I will try my best to help you. If you can't, don't force me to be the second brother, do you think so?" Cao Xiangnan looked at Wang Yan's expression, he knew It was a person who came to the end and wanted to survive, but he couldn't bear to push him to the end, otherwise if something happened to him, he would feel uneasy when he thought about it in the future, so he chose a compromise method. was let go.

Seeing his father's unhappy face, Cao Xiangnan was not in the mood to pay attention to him.

"Let's go back first," he said.

Together, the two helped Wang Yan up, boarded the carriage waiting outside, and sent her back to the Cao family compound.

When they went back, there was no sign of his second brother. Cao Xiangnan saw the familiar courtyard, which had changed a lot from when he was still here.Standing in the yard and taking a look, he talked to his father, Cao Xiangnan got a response and left.

In fact, he doesn't really want to take care of the following things, but sometimes he doesn't want to take care of things so he doesn't come to him, and those things still come to him endlessly.

After leaving the compound, the carriage went back home.

"Second Brother, is anyone awake?" Qi Wanfeng asked when he saw Fu Lang came back.

"Well, I woke up and sent me back to the compound." Cao Xiangnan said briefly.Qi Wanfeng nodded and didn't ask any more questions.Seeing Shen Zhengyang messing with his son at his home, Cao Xiangnan sat down and drank a glass of water before dragging Shen Zhengyang out.

What makes him happy is that these buddies under him are really powerful, after a day of fumbling, they will use that spinning machine to weave cloth.As soon as he went to the garment workshop, Li Mei told him about it.

Several people went in to have a look.

"Well, not bad." Cao Xiangnan touched the woven cloth, which was no worse than that produced by traditional looms.

The hand wheel turns, and several shuttles are spinning like flying. According to this speed, when this buddy is familiar with the hand, the speed will be greatly improved, and then the output will be very impressive.

Thinking of the impact of the industrial revolution, he didn't want to change the development of this era, so he just made a small fortune secretly.But this matter must be kept secret first, Cao Xiangnan still understands the crime of pregnant Bi, don't bring yourself a murderous disaster at that time Thinking of this, he thought of Fang Ziye, and the fourth prince, that would be a big backer, if that One day, if the fourth prince became the emperor, Cao Xiangnan thought about it, and felt that it would be the best for the fourth prince to become the emperor. Anyway, he had already boarded this thief ship and would never get off. If he wanted to gamble, he would bet big. .

When I get back, I will write a letter to Fang Ziye and tell him about the spinning machine.

He told Li Mei that the things inside must be kept secret. Seeing their owner's serious appearance, Li Mei understood that he would definitely take care of the things inside. Except for the few people they came in that day, there would be no one else. people know.

Cao Xiangnan also made it clear to Shen Zhengyang about the pros and cons of this matter, and let him understand what this matter is and what impact it will bring, so it is not easy for outsiders to know about this matter except for their own people.

"Well, I understand, don't worry." Shen Zhengyang is not stupid. Except for the things that Cao Xiangnan gave him, he will reveal everything that cannot be known to others. got it.

The craftsmen in their hands are all the domestic slaves of their Shen family. Their Shen family held the contract of sale of their family. If they dared to betray their masters, no one would dare to say anything, let alone the government. I will take care of it, so ordinary house slaves dare not disobey the master's order, let alone do things that are not good for the master's family.

Cao Xiangnan once again deeply hated the backwardness of this feudal era, and human life is as cheap as grass.But they can't help it in this era, he'd better go with the flow, and plan to buy a few more people to come back to work.

He made a deal with Wanfeng that they will move to live in the town recently, and he is even optimistic about the days, in the middle of this month, there are not many days left.It happened that after moving to the town, he went to Nanyang with Shen Zhengyang, and Wanfeng took the children to live here in the town, so he could feel more at ease.

Even if they lived in the town, the houses in the village had to be looked after, the livestock still raised in the backyard had to be raised, and the grain grown in the fields had to be taken care of, so Liu Guizhong and his wife were left to live in Caojia Village. good.

It's not like they won't come back after they went to live in the town. If they like it, they will go back and live for a while, so they won't make too many changes at home.The things in the house in the town are prepared separately. The furniture in the house has already been prepared according to the house, and they moved in after the year. The house can be lived in at any time. They will live in it someday. That's it.

The houses in the town also need to buy two servants, otherwise the yard is so big that it is enough for you to plan on a daily basis, and the children in the family are still young and cannot live without people, so Cao Xiangnan plans to buy two more people to come back. So it was decided.

After leaving the garment workshop, they went to two other places to have a look, and then went to the town.

When I went to the town, I went to find the guy who bought people last time, Yazi, and picked out a man who looked a bit old and shrewd to come back as a housekeeper, and two young, hard-working and honest brothers, so that I could buy them and go back to work.I didn't see any suitable ones later on. Cao Xiangnan actually wanted to buy two strong men to watch the yard, but he didn't find any suitable ones. He went to Wang Dahu to borrow two people for use. There should be all kinds of people in Nanyang, etc. I went to Nanyang to buy some men and came back.

When people bought it, they took it to the new yard, and asked the housekeeper to arrange for the two brothers to clean the inside and outside of the house first, and then they left.

"If you want someone, you can redeem him with silver! I'll give you three days, but you can't get any silver... Heh!"

The thugs from the gambling house approached the Cao family compound, took the note owed by Cao Laoer to the door, and asked the people in the compound to take the silver to the gambling house to redeem the man, left a message, and walked away.

His father and mother came to the door together, and Cao Xiangnan told him about it as soon as he got home, and his face sank. Can't this calm him down a bit? ! 300 taels!Why don't they grab it!

At this time, Cao Xiangnan also knew that Wang Yan and Cao Laoer had a quarrel because Cao Laoer took away the little money he had saved so hard, and he beat Cao Laoer without giving it to Cao Laoer, and took away the money Not to mention, I went to the gambling house to gamble, and borrowed 300 taels from the gambling house after losing all.

Is the gambling house a place where you, a fool, can enter?

No, I lost all my money, let alone the 300 taels I borrowed. I wrote a few IOUs, and I was detained in the gambling house. gave money to redeem people.

300 taels?Selling your second brother Cao is not worth so much money!
