Chapter 457 Xu Deye
The leader was an old man with a pointed face and thin beard, his eyes were shining brightly, and his face was very calculating.
But the one with the highest status in the crowd was not him, but another old man wearing a square scarf, wearing a yellow and white shirt, with a displeased expression on his face.
"Third Uncle, the child Changshou is too disgraceful. At the beginning, he kept telling me that he was not marrying a wife, but just taking a concubine. Then he suddenly made such a big deal, and even cheated. Our old Xu family is the descendant of a prince. , His face was just given away by him." The old man Hu Xi said to the old man in the weave shirt with a look of resentment.
The old man's name is Xu Deye, Xu Changshou's uncle, and he earns a living by making salted fish. No matter where he goes, he smells like fish.
If you say that this person likes to take advantage, his eyes are like those abacus beads, full of calculations.
Selling salted fish has always been short of catties and short of two, so give as little salt as you can. The fish you bought are dried first, and after drying, only a thin layer of salt is spread on it. You have to lick it, and you can taste it. It tastes salty, you have to chew the whole fish together, it must be bland.
The question is, this is salted fish. If salted fish is not salty, is it still called salted fish?
If it can't be left for two or three days, it will break down.
When buying fish at the wharf, they only pick out those who have turned their stomachs. For a copper coin, they can fight with the fisherman who sells fish.
I took advantage of it and spent a whole day happily, but didn't take advantage of it, and went around the city three times.
what?
Pick up two lumps of cow dung and go back, dry it and sell it for money.
Anyway, he had to take advantage of some "expensive" to go home, otherwise he would not think about food and tea all day long.
Once I met a hawker selling kitchen knives and bought some salted fish from him.
The hawker hadn't opened for two or three days, and he didn't have much copper money in his pocket, only one copper coin short.
It stands to reason that if a copper plate is short, it will be short. The knife seller is not a stranger. He is called Wang Mazi. He has sold kitchen knives in Dongcheng for more than ten years.
See you down.
Don't sell the generous ones, it's not worth a lot of money to give you salted fish.
But Xu Deye doesn't, if he doesn't take advantage of it, it's enough to disturb his heart, and he suffers?
That was his life, and it could shorten his life for several years.
Seeing a whetstone on Wang Mazi's waist, he asked for it, collected kitchen knives, scissors, scythes, axes, etc. at home, and began to sharpen them.
After the thing has been sharpened, the whetstone is also covered with a layer of slurry.
Now Xu Deye was happy, the whetstone in the hands of the kitchen knife vendor must be a good thing, he used it for a penny, and made a profit.
The next day, he told everyone he met that he used Wang Mazi's whetstone for a penny.
That's all.
It's okay to take advantage of outsiders, but he is even more unambiguous when he takes advantage of his own people.
Who are they?
His brother, that is, Xu Changshou's father, Xu Dehai.
It is said that it is not that the family does not enter the family, but the old Xu family does not follow this path. Xu Dehai and Xu Deye are completely two extremes.
Xu Deye picks and searches, while Xu Dehai has the same personality as Xu Changshou, inviting others to dinner every day.
Xu Changshou asked Xu Dehai to have a breakfast and put the knife in the restaurant to pay off the bill. Xu Dehai also did it.
With such a generous "brother", Xu Deye worked hard to take advantage of it.
The salted fish is never dried at home, but brought to Xu Dehai's house to dry. Yesterday, I just pulled two clotheslines, "pop", and the next day, two baskets of salted fish fell on them.
Fan Guotian just bought two catties of salt, and after two meals, half of the salt was left.
That half was taken by Xu Deye to pickle salted fish.
Two steamed buns in the morning, one meal at noon, and I was too embarrassed to eat at night. I came to the door to ask for a fire, saying that the fire sickle at home could not be turned on, and I turned around and ran away with a piece of firewood as thick as a thigh from the stove.
In a word, if you can squeeze it, you can squeeze it, and if you can occupy it, you can occupy it.
The things in the elder brother's house are the same as the things in your own house.
Sample.
Occupation becomes a habit.
If there is anyone who dares to prevent him from occupying it, it is an enemy.
For example, Yang Qiaoer.
As we said earlier, Yang Qiaoer was born in a fishing family and was a fisherman before she married.
One is for fishing, and the other is for pickling salted fish. The wharf is such a big place, it's hard not to know each other.
The two sides not only know each other, but also have a "festival".
Because Yang Qiaoer is one of the few fishermen who has never let him take advantage of it, even blacklisted him, and would rather dump the fish back into the river than sell it to him.
In Xu Deye's eyes, those who let him take advantage are fools, and those who don't let him take advantage are enemies.
Yang Qiaoer is the enemy.
When he learned that Xu Changshou was going to marry Yang Qiaoer, Xu Deye was shocked.
If Yang Qiaoer became the eldest brother's daughter-in-law, if she wanted to take advantage of her eldest brother's family so easily in the future, she would use two words: dreaming.
Who is Yang Qiaoer?
A wild girl who doesn't bind her feet.
Before she got married, she had a very strong temper. She picked up a pole and beat the two men so that they couldn't get close. They were famous at the pier.
Xu Deye was almost beaten by Yang Qiaoer.
After Yang Qiaoer got married and lost her husband, with experience, she will only be more difficult to deal with than that "wild girl" back then.
It's a joke, a woman with a protruding front and a raised back who still has a charming charm and can run a tofu stall on the pier and hasn't suffered much, can she be an ordinary person?
Even in Xu Deye's view, there shouldn't be a daughter-in-law in the elder brother's family who gets in the way.
What kind of ancestors are passed down and what generations are passed on.
I have five grandchildren under my name, and I can hardly afford to support them.
Forget the adoptive one for you, they are all of Xu family blood, the same.
A hundred years later, if your property belongs to my grandson, it will belong to me.
How good it is that the fat and water don't flow into outsiders' fields.
As for Xu Changshou, he might have been sent to die outside.
