Chapter 51 Let him work to pay off debts
"Are you willing to work in the county town? Storytelling in a county teahouse. The monthly salary is 100 cents, including food and accommodation, and the guests will reward you 50/50. If you are a particularly good storyteller, the monthly salary will increase."
In the hall, Shen Yunyao asked Mr. Deng.
Mr. Deng was surprised. Although he was extremely happy, he still asked in a calm tone: "Why choose me?"
Could it be that Mrs. Liu was interested in it, but was embarrassed to let her daughter come forward first?
"You are good-looking. Good-looking people are loved by the public. Of course you have to sign a contract with us for five years first. Make sure you can keep it secret and stay. Otherwise, you will be poached by others just after you make money. I Isn’t it a great loss?”
Mr. Deng said: "Okay, I agree."
It turns out that Mr. Liu thinks he is handsome, so he should do this well.
Shen Yunyao said: "Then don't do it yet. Come to my house tomorrow morning and I will ask the delivery person to take you to the county seat."
After Mr. Deng left, Shen Yunyao breathed a sigh of relief. Now that he was far away, there would be no trouble.
"Shen Yunyao, why didn't you get me anything to eat, the turtle? I've been sleeping for so many days and I'm hungry."
Xiao Wu's voice suddenly appeared in Shen Yunyao's mind.
She quickly went to look for Xiao Wu next to the big tank in the yard.
Quietly, he took out a piece of golden chicken from the space and threw it to Xiao Wu's mouth, watching him pick it up and swallow it in one gulp.
"Well, this meat tastes good and has a hint of spiritual energy. What kind of meat is it?"
"Meat of Golden Pheasant."
"It would be great if there was meat from the spirit silver fish in the river. I used to like to eat that fish meat the most. Unfortunately, now that the spirit mine is gone, the spirit silver fish is probably gone too. The last time you harvested the spirit mine, mine My old friend, the clam, was eating and had eaten most of the silverfish. He was so lucky, the last bit of the silverfish was in his belly."
Shen Yunyao listened to its chattering. When she heard the clam, her eyes lit up and she quickly asked: "Is it still at the bottom of the river? Is it the clam that produces pearls?"
"Uh, yes, it is still at the bottom of the river. The pearls it produces are spiritual. Every ten years it spits out pearls, which are hidden by it. The master collects them and there are endless pearls for it to use." Of course I won't say it. In fact, it just wants to have more companions.
Shen Yunyao was excited, but she had to wait until the new yard was built and the pond was dug. "You can't let it enter the pond until the new yard is built. Will it get away during this period?"
"No. I just need to tell it." Xiao Wu said confidently.
"Thank you." Shen Yunyao didn't stop until she fed it.
Building a house is a big deal, and the common practice in the village is that people who build a house will tell their brothers and ask them to help.
Shen Yunyao's family had no hope. Mrs. Liu only informed Dafang about building a house with two bedrooms and did not ask them for help.
Shen Gaozheng and his second son came to help. They first went to Mr. Liu.
Mrs. Liu received them in the main room.
Shen Gaozheng said: "Third brother and sister, thank you for your hard work. You worked hard to run this family when the third brother was away, and now we have to build a house. Brother, I don't have much ability, and I can't do much physical work, but I still asked for leave. , come to help for a day and do your best.”
Shen Yunyao stood next to Mrs. Liu, looking at the man with a simple face but shrewd eyes, and recalled the appearance of her father Shen Gaofeng. She thought that her father was as handsome as her uncle, but she could not remember her second uncle. He looks like a uncle.
Mrs. Liu smiled and said: "Eldest brother talks too much. If you are really busy and can't do it, that's fine. My brothers don't mind.
Speaking of the third child, I remember that when the family was separated, my eldest brother kept the land deed of my house and said that he would give it to him when the third child came. Last time I went to see my sister-in-law and wanted to see the land deed of my house. But my sister-in-law said that you had it. When will the eldest brother Are you looking for it when you have time so I can take a look?"
Shen Gaozheng looked troubled and said with a hint of embarrassment: "I brought Awang here to make amends to you. He didn't study well in college and learned gambling from others. He lost a lot of money. In order to pay off his debts, he lost his family. All the money was stolen, including the title deed.
I will compensate your family with 30 taels per mu, which is 18 taels per 6 mu. However, the money must be repaid slowly, and the family has no money. I will leave Awang behind and let him work to pay off the debt. You don’t want to do anything to him. You're welcome, if you don't do well, you can hit me if you deserve it."
Shen Yunyao really admired his uncle. Since his family lost the land title, he had to help his child quit gambling. He might steal the family's money someday.
However, they are her relatives after all, so it doesn't matter if the uncle really wants to keep Shen Yunwang to atone for his sins. She has the means to suppress him from being a monster.
Although Mrs. Liu felt very uncomfortable, as her belongings were gone, her eldest brother's attitude of admitting his mistake was okay, and he even handed over the culprit. For the sake of the third child, she could only choose to forgive.
"I won't do it!" Shen Yunwang folded his arms and raised his head, looking like he was pulling.
Shen Yunyao finally remembered that something was wrong. Her cousin was dragged into the house by her uncle.
Judging from my cousin's reluctant look, it's hard to say whether this can be done.
Shen Gaozheng said angrily: "You have to do it even if you don't want to do it! If you don't do it, don't eat! The family won't care about your food, only your housing. You will be self-reliant from now on."
Mrs. Liu suddenly understood her elder brother's intention. They were reluctant to spank their children, and were afraid of damaging their children if they were handed over to outsiders. Only when they were handed over to their own people could they change their ways and return to the right ways without fear of being beaten.
She sighed, saying that she would have to worry more about it in the future, "Brother, I understand what you mean. Just stay with Awang. However, he does not have a basic monthly salary for the time being. He will work for a day and get paid for the day."
"Okay, no problem. I don't plan to send him to school. Let him practice at home first. The salary will be directly deducted from the money on your land lease. You don't need to give him money, just report to him every day how much he earned today. Money, how much money do you still owe after deductions?"
Shen Yunyao secretly gave a thumbs up, ginger is still spicy.
Mrs. Liu understood this and agreed.
Shen Yunwang was not happy, "Why don't you give me money! Since you let me work here, at least half of the money you earn will pay off the debt and half will be given to me!"
"This seems feasible." Mrs. Liu looked at Shen Yunzheng.
Shen Gaozheng said with a dark face, "No! You can't give him a penny. Whenever he has some money, he will gamble. Before quitting gambling, his hands must be clean."
He ignored his son's protest and immediately took out two pieces of deed paper. He had already prepared this matter, signed the contract with Mr. Liu, and put them away.
Before he left, he said to Shen Yunwang: "This is the last chance I give you. If you still can't quit gambling, I will kick you out of the house and fend for yourself. Even if you become a beggar and live on the street, I will I won’t look at you again! I will restrain your mother and they won’t care about you anymore!”
Shen Yunwang lowered his head, and no one could clearly see his expression at this time. He whispered: "I know."
Mrs. Liu followed Shen Gaozheng to see him out, leaving only Shen Yunyao and Shen Yunwang in the main room.
Shen Yunyao asked curiously: "Cousin, how much gambling debt do you owe now?"
Shen Yunwang raised his head and glared at her fiercely, "One thousand taels."
Shen Yunyao was speechless.
The uncle earns at most a dozen or a thousand taels a year, which is really killing him. No wonder he punishes his son ruthlessly.
"Then what do you do when you gamble? You can lose so much." Shen Yunyao looked confused.
This aroused Shen Yunwang's desire to talk and proudly talked about his achievements.
"Let's play dice! I didn't lose at the beginning. I was very lucky. I won ten games in a row and won a total of five hundred taels. I wanted to stop playing, but it was all because of the eagle. He asked me to gamble again, but later on Luck plummets, everything you win is lost. Bad luck!"
Shen Yunyao sneered, "Throwing dice? Isn't it too simple?"
Today is the college entrance examination. I remember that I went to the examination room the day before the college entrance examination. It started to rain heavily just after I finished reading. I hope that everyone who reads this book will do well in both small and large exams. As for the big test of life, I will not hand in the paper until the end. There is always a chance for a comeback.
