Chapter 4 Assigning Tasks
Wang Ying reluctantly took out the crumpled IOU. Feeling that Song Tingran had become smarter, she put the two taels of silver into her pocket. Since she couldn't write, the village chief had written it for her, so she pressed Mudra.
Song Tingran tore the IOU into pieces, threw it into the wind, and handed the receipt to Shi Yan for safekeeping.
Shi Yan took it with evasive eyes, knowing that everyone would leave after a while. He would definitely be beaten again for hiding the pen and ink, but their home was far away from the village chief's house, so he was afraid that the wife would regret it in the middle.
In short, it is worth it to replace Sang Cheng with one meal without having to pay off the debt.
While everyone was there, Song Tingran said: "You guys, help me bear witness. From now on, our Song family and Wang family will no longer have any contact with each other!"
After a while of sighing, Wang Ying didn't care and walked away swaggeringly.
The wife of the Zheng family saw that Wang Ying had gotten a big deal, which was just two taels of silver! He stood up quickly and said: "Village Chief, look at what she gave me. You are the most just person in Daniu Village, so you have to make the decision for me."
Village Chief Zhou was indeed upright. She felt that Song Tingran had changed a lot after not seeing him for a while, so she asked, "Tell me why you hit me."
"Her young man scolded me in public, and called my Wen Li ugly. The wife of the Zheng family didn't stop her at all, and even laughed at her. With this kind of behavior, I am very worried about her young man in the future. If you can't get married, you might be disgracing our Daniu Village when we select outstanding villages."
Song Tingran's remarks, coupled with the strategizing in handling the matter just now, directly made Shi Yan look at her with admiration. When they arranged to have a baby, he knew that she was studying. After getting married, he felt cheated, but when they met today, it was true that she was a student. Have a foundation.
The village chief cares very much about the selection of outstanding villages. Once every three years, the selection not only brings glory, but the town will also reward money for the cost of building the village. The content of the selection includes whether the villagers are disciplined and civilized. Have quality.
"Master Zheng's wife, is this what happened?" Village Chief Zhou's tone was obviously not good.
The wife of the Zheng family had not studied for a few days. She did not expect that the matter would be so serious. When it came to the selection, she became uneasy and said, "It's all a misunderstanding. I will educate him well when I get back."
"Since the wife of the Zheng family said so, I won't care about it like a child. I will let your young man apologize to Wen Li, and this matter will be over."
Wen Li's body trembled when his name was suddenly mentioned. His wife was so kind to him today, and he didn't dare to bear it.
"That's not necessary. Your Wen Li... wasn't officially brought in by you. Didn't he just follow your brother?"
Song Tingran's huge body pinched his waist, walked to the wife of the Zheng family, and said angrily: "Wen Li, my Xiaoliu, Song Tingran's people, either apologize or pay compensation. He was frightened. Compensation Is it okay to pay some mental damages?"
The wife of the Zheng family didn't get any advantage. Instead, she was stunned and her face was still burning. She pushed her husband forward and said, "Go and apologize."
Although it was done hastily, it also demonstrated Song Tingran's power at this time and gave Wen Li enough face.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Village Chief Zhou said goodbye and left, and everyone else also dispersed. The news that Song Tingran suddenly seemed like a different person also spread in Daniu Village.
"Xiao Yuchen, go and lock the door."
Song Tingran was also tired. She was out of breath after walking for a while, so she sat directly on the stool.
Xiao Yuchen obediently closed the door tightly, then locked it from the inside. He stood aside and looked at her.
"Wen Li, bring the backpack, and everyone else, come over too."
Wen Li knew that the things inside were precious, so he slowly placed them on the table and stood next to them.
Song Tingran frowned, stood up, and put the backpack on the ground. Wen Li felt heartbroken but did not dare to speak.
"Aren't you tired of standing? You've been standing all afternoon. Sit down. I have something to tell you."
The four of them looked at each other, Shi Yan nodded, and they sat down slowly, but not next to Song Tingran.
Song Tingran first took out the things from the basket on his back one by one, leaving everyone stunned.
"Master Wife, robbery is against the law."
Shi Yan came to question Song Tingran out of disrespect, and he was an upright man. If the government came to arrest him, he would not protect him.
Song Tingran was stunned and said, "I, your wife, bought this with hard work. If you don't believe me, ask Wen Li."
Shi Yan, Xiao Yuchen, and Sang Cheng all looked at Wen Li. He still lowered his head and said in a low voice, "My wife picked good things in the mountains and exchanged them for money."
The three of them believed it for the time being, because Wen Li never lied. Song Tingran praised Wen Li in his heart and started talking about today's business.
"Our family will be on the right track from now on. First of all, because Wen Li cooks, he will be responsible for the rice, flour, oil, etc. on weekdays. If we run out and need to buy new ones, we will get the money from Shi Yan."
"Secondly, if you make money outside because of your own abilities, for example, the tuition fees that Shi Yan gives to students on weekdays can be collected by yourself as personal money, and you don't have to hand it over."
"Finally, this is our family's living expenses. Shi Yan is a big man, has read books, and can settle accounts, so he will keep it."
After saying that, Song Tingran took out the remaining seventeen taels and six hundred coins from his arms and handed them all to Shi Yan.
"what."
Sang Cheng was so frightened that he accidentally let out a sound, quickly stood up and covered his mouth.
Others also stood up. They had never seen so much money in their dreams. Shi Yan looked at Song Tingran, he didn't dare to take it over, and said: "It's better for the wife to keep it. In our village, there is no way for a big man to manage money, and I can't do this well."
Song Tingran looked at their frightened expressions, took out a hundred coins from the money, and said, "Okay, I'll take care of the one hundred coins, and you'll take care of the rest."
Without waiting for Yan to think of a word to refuse, Song Tingran quickly walked up to him, without any explanation, reached out and took out the purse from his arms, put the money in, and threw it into his hand.
"I bought meat buns and roast duck. Wen Li went to cook some polished rice porridge. Remember to put a lot of rice. Let's eat together."
After Song Tingran finished explaining, he went back to the house and didn't see Shi Yan's blushing face at all.
"Brother, my wife has really changed a lot. This fall is a good thing."
Xiao Yuchen stepped forward and talked to Shi Yan. He nodded and said that it would be fine if it stayed like this.
In the evening, Wen Li brought the cooked porridge up. It was a big bowl filled with the sweetness of polished rice. Then he heated up the meat buns and roast duck and brought them up.
Because Sang Cheng was almost sold today, in order for him to perform well, he asked Song Tingran to eat. He walked to the door of the room in fear and said, "My wife, you can eat now."
