Chapter 25 Chuanwu was beaten(1/2)

"Let's go to the town ahead and see if there is a mule and horse market."

The two men were driving more than a dozen horses, and there were far more horse dealers than gold diggers.

"Let's tidy up after we get to the town, otherwise when we get home, mother will think how much hardship we have endured."

Zhu Chuanwen looked at Zhu Kaishan and said, when they came out of Laojingou, the two people were not dressed well but they were clean and had basic decency.

After so many days of eating and sleeping outdoors and struggling to survive, the two of them were already very embarrassed.

If it weren't for the many horses being driven, it wouldn't look like they couldn't afford to eat. With a bowl, the two of them could seamlessly integrate into the Beggar Clan.

"I suffered a lot in the first place."

Zhu Kaishan muttered that this was because he had some resentment towards Zhu Chuanwen.

The experience in Laojingou cannot be said to be good, and that is not the point.

The focus is on this act of revenge. The further it goes on, the closer it becomes to a supporting role for Zhu Kaishan.

Most people listened to Zhu Chuanwen's command and didn't say anything, but Zhu Chuanwen was quick to take action.

He has not snatched any heads, and his son has surpassed me. Apart from being happy, Zhu Kaishan also feels a little complicated.

His performance is that he can't help but say a few sarcastic words to Zhu Chuanwen.

"Even if you suffer so much, you can't let your mother see it, otherwise she shouldn't blame me for not taking care of you." Zhu Chuanwen replied calmly: "Don't say you suffered, and I won't say there are old ladies out there.

I've taken a liking to you."

Zhu Chuanwen was not helpless in dealing with Zhu Kaishan's sour words. This old lady, the big black girl, could be regarded as Zhu Kaishan's dark history.

"How come there are so many weird words? Hurry up and get on your way." Zhu Kaishan said angrily.

When you're bored on the road, it's fun to tease this "dad".

"Shopkeeper, please bring us two rooms, get two barrels of hot water, and send a man to the tailor shop to buy us two sets of clothes."

After arriving at the inn in the town, Zhu Chuanwen became public.

I haven't spent much money in Laojingou for more than half a year.

Apart from going to the pub to eat and drink, there really was no place for Zhu Chuanwen to spend money in Laojingou.

You can't be like Jin Fu and give all your money to the brothel sister and the gambling house.

Zhu Chuanwen really doesn't accept this level.

"Don't panic when you have some money, save it a little bit, you know?"

Zhu Kaishan was not stingy, he just couldn't stand Zhu Chuanwen's arrogance.

"I know, isn't it just a matter of saving some money? Then I'll just buy you clothes, and I'll go home in rags, okay?" Zhu Chuanwen replied to Zhu Kaishan.

"..." Zhu Kaishan.

Zhu Kaishan dressed like a big landowner, and Zhu Chuanwen dressed like a beggar and went back home. Of course, it was impossible.

After freshening up at the inn and putting on new clothes, the two of them had their hair cut and shaved, so that they looked more presentable.

Then he sold most of the horses at the mule and horse market, and purchased a wave of various gifts, including cloth, tea leaves, rouge and gouache.

Naturally, it was Zhu Chuanwen's idea to buy these gifts. If Zhu Kaishan had made the decision, he would have bought some practical items even if he didn't have this awareness.

To put it simply, Zhu Kaishan's thinking has not changed yet.

The two men were each wearing brocade robes, and the other was driving a carriage loaded with various goods. It looked like they were returning home in rich clothes.

"Mom, Xian'er, we are back!"

Outside the gate, Zhu Chuanwen shouted, still thinking of two people.

"Brother Chuanwen, you are back." Xian'er was the first to run out of the courtyard.

"Father Wen, when you come back this time, you won't leave."

Mrs. Zhu Wei was a little slower and quickly came out of the house to welcome her.

The only pity is that Zhu Chuanwen and Zhu Kaishan were not noticed immediately by Xian'er and Zhu Wei because of their dog-like appearance.

"If we don't leave, we will settle down in the future. We will build a big yard and put dozens of acres of land there, and our family will be able to live a solid life in the future."

Zhu Kaishan's expectations are of course very good, but this era is the end of feudalism.

Not to mention that there are a group of idiots and worries outside this land, but there are no foreign troubles.

The imperial court and natural and man-made disasters will also force the people to lose their good life.

So many people from Shandong have been driven to the northeast. It has to be said that there are already too many people and too little land in the pass. The land annexation is too serious and it is difficult for the people to survive.

"Okay...we don't ask for any wealth, as long as the whole family can live together in peace and harmony." Zhu Weishi pulled Zhu Kaishan and replied.

"Mom, let's go into the house. Dad and I have brought back a lot of things. See if you like them."

Several people were so excited that they stood at the door and chatted endlessly. Zhu Chuanwen couldn't help but remind them.

"Come in, come in, let's talk about it after we get in." He said he wanted to go in, but he still had to drive the carriage home first, unharness him, and drive the horse back to the barn.

In addition to the original two horses at home, the family now has six horses, which is enough for an average family.

We won't be able to catch up on building a house this year, but the livestock shed must be enlarged.

"Where are the two boys?"

After returning to the house and sitting down, Zhu Kaishan remembered that he still had two sons.

"They are apprentices in Chunhesheng. Our family has made a fortune, and now it has begun to occupy the counter in the shop." Mrs. Zhu Wei couldn't help but feel proud as she said this.

"Yes, Chuanjie is promising, and he has lived up to my expectations. I will work hard for them to earn a fortune. What about Chuanwu?"

Zhu Kaishan's attitude is exactly the same as that of modern parents working abroad when they come home and ask about their children's academic performance.

I am very happy when my child learns well, but of course I am very disappointed if my child does not learn well.

"Chuanwu is also very good. I eat well and sleep well. I am getting more and more happy."

The only thing Zhu Wei could do was help Chuan Wu to whitewash it.

"I'll take care of him when he comes back."

Of course Zhu Kaishan understood Zhu Wei's subtext. Apart from his good health, Chuanwu had nothing to praise.

"Oh... I need to find someone to go to town to deliver a message. Chuanwu still goes home to live every day, but Chuanjie has already stood at the counter in the shop. He usually lives in the shop."

Mrs. Zhu Wei patted her thigh and prepared to get off the kang to find the people who were going to the town. She helped bring the letter there and asked Chuanjie to come back together for a reunion.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Mother Wen, no need, there is no need to miss this day. I will not go far away after I come back this time. It will be the same if I ask Chuanjie to come back tomorrow."

Zhu Kaishan stopped Zhu Weishi.

"Then you two take a rest. You must have not eaten well on the way. I will cook you some food." Zhu Wei said again.

"Mom, let me help you." Xian'er followed.

Although Xian'er really wanted to chat with Zhu Chuanwen for a while, it was obviously not the right time yet.

"Don't be too busy for now. We had quite good food on the way. Let's collect the things we brought back."

Zhu Kaishan pointed to a room full of goods and said.

"Father Wen, you and Wen'er are both wearing brocade. Have you made a fortune? Is this how you make money from gold mining? You have only been out for more than half a year."

At this time, Mrs. Zhu Wei realized the value of the clothes and various goods brought back by the two people.

Brocade has never been a garment worn by the poor. Even small landowners with hundreds of acres of land wear cotton.

If you are a farmer with only a few dozen acres of land, you will only wear linen.

The price of cotton cloth is generally about three times that of linen cloth.

The price of brocade is directly ten times that of linen.

"It's not that easy to pan for gold. If it were so easy to make a fortune, wouldn't everyone go gold panning? This is the satin that your son, who has lost his fortune, insisted on buying, just to return home in glory.

Our family has only had a few days of vacation here in Fangniugou, and it is time to return to Shandong in rich clothes."

When Zhu Kaishan told Zhu Weishi this way, he obviously meant to complain.

"Mom, take a look with Xian'er. I bought a piece of brocade for each of you. You can keep it for each of you to make a suit of clothes."

As for Chuanwu and Chuanjie, they don't need to get used to it when they are still growing up. They just wear cotton.

"How do we need these, Chuanwen, you really forgot last year, when we almost couldn't even eat."

Zhu Weishi glanced at Zhu Chuanwen and said.

If we still look at the economic situation of Lao Zhu's family last year, Zhu Chuanwen's approach is indeed quite extravagant.

"Mom, our family has made some money. In the future, we will buy more property and find two servants to serve you. Just wait and enjoy your happiness. These things are just the beginning. You have to learn to adapt to them. You can't treat us like we are still here.

It’s time for Shandong.”

Zhu Chuanwen smiled and explained that it was not easy to reveal his family background, so Zhu Chuanwen could only say this ambiguously.

"If you have such a spirit, mother will be satisfied." Zhu Weishi obviously didn't believe it.
