Chapter 285 He is the cannon fodder control group (41)
The New Year holidays are a rare time in the year when everyone can put everything aside and have a good rest.
Even the poorest families will temporarily forget all their worries and try their best to give themselves and their families a good New Year as far as they can.
From the second day of the New Year, every household starts to greet each other, and there are many weddings in the village where people invite people to drink.
The people of Da'ao Village, who had not yet gotten over the excitement of the gossip about Si Laoer and his wife committing murder for money, were ate another big piece of news that day.
Coincidentally, it was Si Laoer’s family.
"It is said that Gu Hefeng drank too much at Zhao Erdan's wedding banquet, and then somehow walked into the wrong room. As a result, he lost his composure after drinking... and almost half of the village saw him hugging Qing Ge'er in a disheveled manner."
Brother Jin came to talk to Si Cen about going to the county town to look after a shop, and after talking about business, he started gossiping.
Si Cen didn't even raise his eyes when he heard this. He just smiled sarcastically, "It seems that Gu Hefeng's mother is going to have trouble."
Indeed, Gu Hefeng's widow mother cried and made a big fuss, insisting that her son was schemed by a bitch, and stated on the spot that they would never marry Si Qing, a bitch.
Then Si Qing hit the wall, and the scene of blood splattering on the spot almost scared people to death.
But this also brought pressure from Muramasa and the clan elders, who said that no matter what, your son did ruin Qingge'er's innocence, and if you insist on not taking responsibility, Qingge'er will only end up dead.
Gu Hefeng still wanted to take the examination to become a scholar, but after the scandal that forced Qingbai Ge'er to death, he no longer had to take the exam.
In the end, the widow had no choice but to agree to marry Si Qing.
But wanting a matchmaker, dowry, or a banquet is just a dream.
She immediately asked people to help bring Qing'er, who was half dead with blood on his forehead, into her home. She had no intention of hiring a doctor for him and even sent her son back to the city, saying that classes at the academy would start soon and the spring exams would be approaching, so she shouldn't waste any more time as she had her mother and husband at home.
Gu Hefeng might have felt a little bit resentful towards Si Qing because he had made a fool of himself at someone else's wedding banquet, so he packed up his bag, took the silver and money his mother had given him, and left in the ox cart without saying a word.
He didn't care at all about how Si Qing was dying in his home and how his mother tortured him.
When Si Cen knew this, he almost laughed out loud, causing Gu Yao to look at him several times for unknown reasons.
He also wanted to maintain his kind and well-behaved (?) image in front of Tu Tu, and certainly would not say that he was gloating over Si Qing's misfortune.
"Brother Jin and I have an appointment to go to the city to check out some shops tomorrow. You and Da Zhuang stay at home by yourselves~"
Generally, after the eighth day of the first lunar month, all shops in the city will open for business, so tomorrow is a good day.
Moreover, he and Jin Ge'er made some toothpaste and soap these days, which they also wanted to sell, and also deliver the goods to Wang Jingsheng and Xu Wan'er.
"I plan to build a new house next to the land next to our house." Gu Yao looked at Si Cen, "I'll go to the village chief tomorrow to ask, buy the land, and then find someone to build the house."
"Okay, then you can build a better one, the one I mentioned before, at least a toilet with manual flushing!" Si Cen was very happy.
He has suffered from the toilets here for a long time. Every time he goes to the toilet, he has to hold his breath when going in and out.
It’s still winter now, I can’t imagine how strong the smell will be in the summer.
Gu Yao had known this for a long time, otherwise he would not have been in such a hurry to build a house. The ground was still quite hard at this time, and it would be more difficult to dig the foundation.
But she really didn't want her husband to suffer, and she had wanted to build a house for a long time.
But... "Can I ask my husband for some money for the flowers?"
To be honest, he didn't have a single penny on him. If it were any other time, he certainly wouldn't have asked his husband for money and would have gone to the mountains to find a way out.
But the snow is still thick now, and even if he can climb the mountain, he won’t be able to catch anything.
I can only ask for money - in fact, it feels good to ask my husband for money, will he say it?
"You obviously know where we keep our money, and it's not locked. Just take it yourself when you need it." Si Cen looked at him with a raised corner of his mouth.
Gu Yao: "It has to be approved by my husband."
Seeing the smug look on the young husband's face, he couldn't help but lean over and kiss him, "Our husband is the housekeeper, and Cen Cen gave it to me before I can have it."
Si Cen: ...
Si Cen felt that the feeling of being a gigolo was actually not bad.
After being served by Gu Yao, he generously gave him a bag of silver with great satisfaction, "Spend it, and come back to me for more if you don't have enough~"
That arrogant look is like a boss who takes out a black card and says "use it as you like"... It's so cool~
The husband and wife divided the work between them, one was busy building the house, and the other was busy earning money.
The days fly by.
Si Cen took over his shop in the city from a friend his parents made when they were doing business, and with the other party's help, he quickly started decorating, stocking the shop, and opening it for business.
The three words "Hexuezhai" were engraved on the plaque of his newly opened shop.
At first glance you may not know what this store does, but in fact the Hexue brand has become very popular in Qing County recently.
This is of course due to the rise of toothbrushes and toothpaste in Qing County, but also thanks to Wang Jingchun's strong support and publicity.
When Si Cen and Jin Ge'er sent gift boxes to Wang Jingsheng and Xu Wan'er, they even brought more wealthy local ladies and gentlemen, adding more members to Si Cen's membership pool.
Then Si Cen recommended their new soaps and moisturizing gel to the Wang brothers and sisters.
Needless to say, this time Wang Jingchun didn't need Si Cen's tricks and bought a lot of them impatiently. She was also very happy because Si Cen gave her a discount because of her supreme membership.
Wang Jingsheng insisted on inviting Si Cen to dinner, and then told him that he wanted to form a partnership with him.
Si Cen was worried that he had too little money and connections. Although Wang Jingsheng liked to show off, he actually had a good personality and was not arrogant.
Moreover, he didn't like studying, but only loved doing business. Unfortunately, his family came from a scholarly family and they attached great importance to his studies. They didn't allow him to tinker with business for fear that he would be tainted with money.
This is also the reason why Wang Jingsheng sought out Si Cen as his partner. He himself could not do business in an upright manner, but he admired and even respected Si Cen's business acumen. Those strange things and clever ideas deeply attracted him.
The Wang family has considerable influence in Qing County. With Si Cen's help, he won't have to worry about any difficulties or jealous people trying to make things difficult for him when doing business in Qing County.
Both sides got what they needed and hit it off immediately.
From then on, Si Cen's small business in this world officially got on track.
However, on this day, when Si Cen came to the city to inspect the shops as usual, he discovered something extraordinary!
Wang Jingsheng's sister, Wang Jingchun, is actually! The woman in the original book who married the protagonist Gu Hefeng in her previous life and enjoyed Gu Hefeng's favor all her life! The woman that Si Qing was jealous of!
Si Cen: Huh?
