Qiao Lan gave him money readily and did not delay his wages. When he saw that he was doing his job efficiently, he would also give him some rewards. Such a wealthy owner was not common in Lantian County.
Qian Dafa naturally did everything properly and did not want to miss such a master.
"Listening to what you said, I think it's really his family!"
Everyone in the village knew that the Duan family wanted cattle, and the Du family could not be unaware of it. But because of the old affairs between the two families, even if the Du family wanted to sell the cattle, they would not be able to bring the cattle to the Duan family in such a dignified manner.
.
According to Uncle Sun, when he and Duan Yuexiu went home to worship their ancestors, the Du family was very happy, and everyone was extremely enthusiastic and attentive.
The year Duan Yuexiu left, when Uncle Sun returned to his old home to set up a memorial tablet, the Du family heard the news. They came over and cried for a long time, ate two meals and then left. Uncle Sun had no one to help him, so he could only sigh and leave.
Cool tea.
Who would have expected that so many things would happen in just a few years.
Qiao Lan wasn't very familiar with the Du family, so she didn't know what the Du family was like, but looking at the footprints on the tables and chairs in the house and what her daughter-in-law said about the lack of dishes and chopsticks at home, she probably guessed something.
The Duan family regards the Du family as relatives, and the Du family regards the Duan family as their own family. They spend their money freely and take things freely.
The Du family is embarrassed to sell, but Qiao Lan is not embarrassed to buy.
Qiao Lan turned her head slightly and stood in the courtyard looking in the direction of the Du family. She could only see the green trees outside the courtyard.
Qiao Lan calmed down and said, "Go to that house and ask. If my family wants to buy it, ask them if they are willing to sell it?"
Qian Dafa had a bright smile on his face: "Old madam, I'll go right away!"
-
Outside the Du family's courtyard, which is only about fifty steps away from the Duan family's old house, the sound of gentle voices in the courtyard floated out of the wall, and a row of chickens were walking close to the hens.
Unexpectedly, there was a huge noise in the courtyard, which frightened the birds around the courtyard. Even the chickens fluttered their wings and flew away.
Du Qingyuan's beard trembled with anger, he pointed at Qian Dafa and said furiously: "Get out, get out! I won't sell my cows! Even if I die, I won't sell them to the Duan family!"
One second he was talking in a friendly manner with a smile on his face, but then he immediately changed his face and started to curse.
Qian Dafa recalled the change in the expressions of the Duan family just now in the Duan family's yard, and slowly came to his senses, there was a story between these two families.
Qian Dafa didn't want to know about the grievances between them. He was a dealer who only wanted to make some money by selling goods.
Qian Dafa has been in this business for many years and has seen a lot of battles. Naturally, he will not be frightened by Du Qingyuan's angry voice.
What was the situation of the Duan family? He had heard someone say that there had been officials in the capital. Even if the official was gone, a skinny camel was bigger than a horse. He was not someone he could offend.
As for the family in front of me who is so poor that they sell their cattle...
Haha, he also has a temper when he spends too much money!
Qian Dafa smiled and said: "Du Qingyuan, right? You go out and find out who I am, Qian Dafa. You are begging others to buy cows when you have no money, not me begging you to sell them! If you don't want to sell, I will
Let your cows never be sold in this life!"
"roll!"
"Let's wait and see!" Qian Dafa said this and left.
Leave the Du family trembling with anger in the yard!
"Dad, please speak more politely! Since this man named Qian was sent here by the Duan family, he has made up his mind to want our cattle. If he offends the Duan family, our cattle will really not be sold!"
"How can we educate our children if we don't have money? Dad, haven't you always hoped that a scholar would come out of our family? It's finally the critical moment when we have to pay money for the exam, and we can't even pay the money. How can we produce a scholar in our family!" Du Dalang advised.
.
It was okay if he didn't speak, but when he spoke, Du Qingyuan's face turned blue with anger.
Du Qingyuan stood there with his chest rising and falling for a long time, and finally raised his right hand and pointed at his son with a trembling finger, "Get out!"
"Get out!" Du Dalang said angrily and left the house.
-
The Du family was unaware of the liveliness of the Du family. Qian Dafa left the Du family courtyard and returned to the Duan family. He told Qiao Lan what had just happened in a slightly aggrieved tone.
"...I just mentioned your family's name, and he pointed at me and changed his face, telling me to get away..." Qian Dafa said in a helpless and pitiful tone.
Qian Dafa has long been mastered and implemented the art of talking to people and talking to ghosts.
Qiao Lan pursed her lips, "My family does have some connections with theirs! I thought it would be convenient for my fellow villagers to buy cattle. But if they don't want to, forget it."
Qian Dafa immediately flattered her: "The old lady is really kind-hearted."
Qiao Lan didn't feel anything about this flattery, and continued to tell Qian Dafa: "It's a waste of time for you. There are few people selling cattle. Not only in our county, you can also ask in other counties. You might be able to find one."
Other people’s homes.”
Qian Dafa nodded immediately, "Don't worry, old lady, I will come to you as soon as there is news."
-
After leaving the Duan family's yard, Qian Dafa asked someone to inquire about the grievances between the Duan and Du families.
Qian Dafa was not surprised when he found out that the two families were related. Relatives from the countryside had many antagonisms. But what he was curious about was how the Du family could be so lucky to have relatives like the Duan family.
If you don't hold it up, you'll get into grudges with others.
After finding out the entanglement between them, Qian Dafa's expression was hard to describe.
This Du family's eyes are so blinded by shit that they can't see anything clearly. They only see petty profits, they don't even hug the legs of the Buddha, and they still hope that their grandson will succeed in studying!
Really!
Qian Dafa wished he could take his place and become a relative of the Duan family. If he were a member of the Du family, he would definitely come to the Duan family every day to work as a cow or a horse, and he would also prepare some money to rent the fields and return it to the Duan family.
The amount of money is not a problem, the problem is that the superficial work must be done well.
This superficial work is done well, and the Duan family is satisfied. A little leakage from the cracks of people's fingernails is enough to feed them for a lifetime.
Thinking of this, Qian Dafa became more active. He felt that the old lady was a kind person and did not want to have any quarrel with the Du family, but there were several other gentlemen in the Duan family, and those gentlemen must have resentments in their hearts.
He had to do this beautifully, satisfy the Duan family master, and leave a good impression in front of the Duan family.
Qian Dafa immediately asked his family to prepare wine and food, and he was going to invite some brothers to come over and talk.
-
Qian Dafa's visit made Du Qingyuan unable to sleep well for several days.
The Du family is in urgent need of money, and cattle are worth a lot of money. They are valuable because cattle are too valuable to sell.
It's too expensive and ordinary people can't afford it.
Du Qingyuan suddenly changed his mind and lowered the price by one tael of silver. Within two days, someone came to buy it.
The person who bought the cattle was a man who lived more than ten miles away and planned to buy the cattle to go home and cultivate the land.
Cows are extremely rare livestock in Beijing. Every cow is registered in the Yamen. People from the Yamen will check it regularly. If a cow is sick or injured, you will be punished.
