129 King's Two Swords
Miss Zhao stopped at the blacksmith shop, and someone rushed out immediately. It was a middle-aged man wearing dirty clothes and unkempt lines. Seeing Miss Zhao being particularly restrained, he kept bowing and nodding, and almost knelt down to salute. His strange behavior immediately attracted the attention of pedestrians, and Liu Liwa stood by and watched the fun naturally.
The fat man said beside Liu Liwa: "This is the current shopkeeper of the Blacksmith Store. It turns out that it is the work of Wang Erdao's family. However, Wang Erdao himself cannot support the store, so he can only change the family and let others be the master."
Liu Liwa sneered and looked at the situation inside the blacksmith shop. It was a very simple shop, sales and production were all together. One side was hung with iron tools, and the other side was a melting pot and an operating table. A young man was squatting on the ground and pulling a bellows. The fire was booming, making him sweat and look listless.
"Miss Zhao, if you have something to do, you will have to come here in person. If you have any needs, call the villain to go there in person and listen to your dispatch." The middle-aged man lowered his eyebrows and nodded, as if he was not Miss Zhao, but the Nine Heavens Goddess.
Miss Zhao glanced at Liu Liwa and seemed to say, "You didn't expect that there was something wrong with me in it."
She looked at the shopkeeper of the blacksmith shop and said, "It's nothing. Recently, my garment shop has a good business. The stuff I squeezed was cleared. Now I urgently need to make a new batch of clothes. Many tailors have added, so I naturally need a large batch of cutting tools. I came to see how many tools I customized have been made."
"Miss, don't worry, as you told us, we are already working day and night, and we will never delay your affairs." The shopkeeper said tremblingly: "But Miss, you also know that because of your care, our shop is making farm tools for Zhaojiazhuang. The staff is really limited, so if there is a slight delay, please bear more."
The eldest lady waved her hand like a high-ranking queen, and said with an extraordinary demeanor: "I can give you some time to time, but the utensils you made must be easy to use and must be convenient for your hands."
"That's natural. We already have finished products. I'll call someone to take them for inspection for the lady." The shopkeeper said quickly, turned around and shouted, "Wang Erdao, why are you still standing there? Take out the scissors and cutting knives you drove out last night for the lady to see."
After seeing them, Liu Liwa only had a conversation and realized that they were in an employment relationship. The young lady was the largest customer of this small blacksmith shop and a big financial owner. She not only customized scissors and cutters for her garment shop, but also built farm tools for thousands of farmers in Zhaojiazhuang. This was indeed a super big order. No wonder she was worshipping her like the Queen Mother.
Wang Erdao walked out with a pair of scissors and a sharp cutter. His face was roasted red by fire and his hair was neatly combed, because he was afraid of being caught in flames. His chin was covered with blue stubble. His appearance was average, he looked very honest and simple, and he could easily attract a woman like Xiuzhu who was introverted, almost autistic and miserable.
However, as Wang Erdao walked, a note suddenly slipped from his cuff. Liu Liwa rushed up and took it in his hand. He looked closely and saw that it was a thirty taels of loan issued by the gambling house. At the same time, the note also attracted the attention of others. Liu Liwa smiled and handed the bill to the shopkeeper of the iron shop, saying, "The shopkeeper's business is good, and even his servants are generous, a rich man!"
The shopkeeper took the IOU and was furious. The iron-slayer was all simple and rough men. Unless he could force a few words to Miss Zhao, he slapped Wang Erdao directly. His thick palm slapped him on the head, making him dizzy and shouted: "You guy went to gamble again. I just paid off your debt for you a while ago. You cursed and sweared to cut your fingers and said that you won't bet anymore in the future. But this time I owe so much thirty taels again. I will not help you no matter what you say this time. Get out, get out of here immediately..."
The shopkeeper became more and more excited as he spoke. He kicked and beaten Wang Erdao in an instant, and his nostrils were bleeding. Despite this, Wang Erdao did not dare to say a word, and he didn't even block it, allowing the shopkeeper to beat and scold him.
When he saw that the fight suddenly started, he immediately became accused by many people, among which the old neighbors shouted: "Old Hei, take it easy. No matter how you say that Wang Erdao is also your young owner. You have occupied his property and it is really unreasonable to humiliate him like this!"
When he heard this, the shopkeeper Lao Hei immediately stopped, and Liu Liwa saw that Wang Erdao, who was lying on the ground and bleeding from his nostrils, showed a smile on the corner of his mouth. He did it on purpose.
He deliberately dropped the loan note, deliberately let the anecdote beat him, deliberately did not stop or avoid him, deliberately attracted the attention of people around him, and asked others to condemn Lao Hei, who occupied the magpie nest, and made Lao Hei condemn him by the outside world. In the end, he had no choice but to drive him away, and he had to pay his debts obediently...
This guy was indeed scheming. It seemed that it was not the first time he used this trick. Liu Liwa sneered in his heart, but today Wang Erdao's wishful thinking was about to fail. The shopkeeper named Lao Hei suddenly burst into tears. A man in his forties actually cried bitterly, as if he was endless grievances. The onlookers immediately fell silent. Lao Hei wiped his tears and pointed at Wang Erdao who pretended to be pitiful on the ground and scolded: "Enough, I'm fucked up enough. I don't want to take the blame anymore! Dear neighbors,
Today, in front of you, I want to make it clear. Yes, I, Lao Hei, is a primary school apprentice. It was thanks to Wang Erdao's father, who was taken in by my master. I only had a full meal today. But the master has been dead for more than ten years. I have been struggling to hold this blacksmith shop for so many years. As the master's only descendant, Wang Erdao not only did not inherit the master's skills, but was addicted to gambling. He owed a lot of debt every few days and asked me to help pay it back. Dear neighbors, everyone knows
We are just inferior to the underclassman. We can't make a lot of money on weekdays. Besides, even if we have a lot of money, we can't stand gambling. Over the years, this prodigal son has long lost all his money and even paid the entire shop to the gambling shop. If I hadn't been redeemed for the hard work and earned money, we would have been starved to death on the streets. I'm not afraid of death, but I have to keep this shop no matter what. This is the effort of the eight generations of ancestors of my master's family. The master has great kindness to me. I'm 100 million.
Never let this shop be ruined in my hands... This prodigal son cursed and sweared to me that he was not gambling anymore. I believed him several times, but I deceived me again and again. Today I owed thirty taels of silver. What do you want me to pay for? Since I said this today, I have also sacrificed my life. Neighbors say that I am a bad slave and bully my master, or I am a magpie nest. In short, I have beentrayed this bad reputation and I cannot let this prodigal son ruin this shop!"
Lao Hei was crying and said in tears. He was full of emotions. Many of the onlookers were neighbors, and they knew a little about their situation. They were still attacking Lao Hei just now, and they immediately turned the gun head. It was really a matter of saying it. Now everyone started to counterattack Wang Erdao: "This kid, I am three years old and has been stealing since I was a child. It's not a good thing."
"Yes, yes, I saw him being beaten outside the Sihai Gambling two days ago!"
