Chapter 59
A woman in the village wanted to come into the room. Mrs. Zhang left Lai, who was quarreling with her, and came into the room.
"Daughter, you are sick and can't get out of bed. If you don't cover yourself with a quilt and you're cold, your illness will get worse. What should you do? Oh my God, they won't even pay for you to see a doctor if you're sick."
"Mom, my illness has recovered and everything is fine. Don't quarrel with me anymore." Zhang's daughter smiled and appeased her mother's concern.
"Ms. Zhang, did you hear what your daughter said? It turns out you were blackmailing me. Fortunately, my granddaughters are here, and fortunately I didn't pay you for arguing with you."
Mrs. Lai came in and saw Mrs. Zhang's daughter standing well and not looking sick.
She had come in to see him before and was surprised that he suddenly recovered from his illness in a short period of time. This person's recovery was a good thing for their family.
The other villagers thought that Zhang was the right party before, but now the situation changed. Lai said that Zhang was extorting money, and they nodded accordingly.
What farmers care about most is food and money!
Just now, Zhang's lion made a big statement and asked people to pay so much money. If it is really her daughter who is about to become stupid, she will have to pay this much money.
But people get better again, and the rational side becomes the unreasonable one.
When Mrs. Zhang heard Mrs. Lai and other villagers say this, she anxiously judged:
"You came in just now and saw my daughter. She was really sick in bed. Now my daughter is well. It was the blessing of Bodhisattva. It was not us trying to extort money. Mr. Lai, you can't fart here. Only your character is so good.
Difference."
"Ms. Zhang, Bodhisattva's blessing is also Bodhisattva's blessing. Our family's money does not need to be compensated to you. It is still the Bodhisattva portrait that my son carved today."
Lai's rebuttal voice made the villagers very curious, and also made Ye Shiqi hear that people in ancient times also advertised.
After Mr. Lai talked about Bodhisattva, the previous quarrel turned into talking about Bodhisattva.
"It's really the Bodhisattva who bless us. Let's worship the Bodhisattva more." A woman in the village said.
"You want to worship Bodhisattva, do you want to buy a wooden Bodhisattva and worship it?" Lai's eyes rolled, and he had an idea to make money.
"Is it true? Hongji can carve Buddhas? How can he have such skills? It stands to reason that the father and son can make furniture. Who in our village doesn't know who?"
An aunt looked at Lai in disbelief, thinking she was bragging to fool the villagers.
"I think Mrs. Lai must have deceived us. Acer can make furniture. How come we didn't know that he can carve? Isn't the carving of furniture not as exquisite as that of a carpenter? She is fooling us."
Ms. Zhang saw several dolls surrounding her daughter and looked at them. Her daughter seemed to be really well. She was no longer obsessed with asking others to pay for it, and began to use her thoughts to deal with Ms. Lai, constantly retorting.
Acer heard the sounds inside at the door, and some villagers in the yard at the door already learned that the patient inside had recovered.
He didn't think too much. His cousin was already well and his family didn't have to pay any money. It was time to take the children home to sleep.
"Da Ya, bring the sisters out and let's go home and sleep."
A villager next to Hongji whispered to him, Hongji, can you really carve wooden Buddhas?
"Yes, I carved four Bodhisattvas today, and my mother said I would sell them." Acer is an honest man, and he did not hide anything from his brothers in the same village. There are many surnames in this village, and brothers with different surnames are also brothers from the same village.
"Acer, can you carve a Bodhisattva for me? It's the kind of Guanyin that gives birth to a child. Haha, my wife is pregnant, and I hope this baby will be a boy." The honest man surnamed Li said in a low voice.
Acer patted the brother surnamed Li on the arm and said seriously:
"Brother, we are men, do we also believe in this superstition? This is your first child, boys and girls are different? Besides, your wife is already pregnant, so this is already a gift."
This man was a little embarrassed when his brother told him, but he said firmly:
"Hehe, we are just doing this for peace of mind. Besides, brother, the wooden Bodhisattva you carved won't be very expensive, right? Sell it to me at a cheaper price!"
Acer looked at the man surnamed Li. He was about the same age as himself. This man would marry his wife later. She was the first child, so he should pay attention and attention. When his wife gave birth to her first child, he thought he was the one who gave birth to his wife.
He was the eldest son's legitimate grandson, but he didn't expect that the child he gave birth to would be a girl.
Because the first child was a girl, the second child would bring a younger brother, but the results were disappointing again and again, even though the fifth child was still a girl.
"Okay, brother, I'll carve it out in two days and I'll make a little profit and sell it to you. I'll charge you a little for the work."
