Chapter 1316 Price Increase
When Shen Xi was young, Zheng Shou thought that children would not become useful without being beaten, so he beat her three times a day. If she didn't study martial arts well, he would beat her! If she stole too few herbs from Uncle Wu Si's house, he would beat her! If she took his meat dishes during meals, he would beat her!
In short, there were all kinds of reasons to beat her.
What did Zheng Shou say at that time? If you have the ability, fight back! People who learn martial arts respect the strong, regardless of age. If you don't fight, you won't know how to improve.
Well, after he beat Shen Xi for more than ten years, he was beaten back by Shen Xi.
Shen Xi also said this, if the elderly don’t fight and make progress, they will just think about retiring and lying down.
Feng Shui turns.
Shen Xi had always thought that Zheng Shou was a man who didn't know how to love his children, but today, she saw that he actually knew how to spoil his children.
He does whatever the treasure asks him to do.
The food on the table was almost cold, my lips were dry from talking, but the treasure was still there. "And then? What else?"
There’s nothing I can do, the kid wants to listen, so just continue.
Zheng Shou likes to brag and Caibao likes to flatter, no wonder they get along so well.
Shen Xi smiled and shook her head, letting the old man enjoy the family happiness. Caibao has always been good at coaxing the elderly. Look at all the aunties who are her square dance partners, they are all coaxed by her.
Zheng Shou, a man with a weird temper, is not to be mentioned.
Huang Haohui came out of the kitchen wearing an apron, carrying a dish. Following behind him was… the lost eldest grandson of the Ma family!!
Shen Xi was shocked! How could this child appear in her house?
Huang Haohui put the dishes on the table and said with a smile, "Master's wife, you are back."
Shen Xi:......
Family members, who understands? She still can't get used to having a man in his thirties calling her "master's wife".
In fact, Huang Haohui is older than Chen Chuan.
But one of them doesn't care, and the other one cares even less, so it doesn't matter, just go along with it.
Fortunately, she is thick-skinned enough. If you replace her with someone with a thin skin, wouldn’t she blush?
"Haohui, why is this kid here?" Shen Xi asked softly and winked at him.
Who would have thought that no matter how soft her voice was, the boy heard what Shen Xi said about him and immediately crawled to Huang Haohui's legs and hid behind him, not daring to look at Shen Xi.
Although a little timid, it is better than the first time I saw it in Yang Peiru's hands.
At that time, he was dull and dazed, and he was nothing but arrogant.
Huang Haohui reached out and stroked the boy's hair, then raised his head and answered Shen Xi: "Didn't Master tell you? I adopted him."
What?
Shen Xi was a little surprised. She never thought that Huang Haohui would adopt this boy. What kind of a sudden change was this?
Do they have anything to do with each other?
She had to eat this big melon, so Shen Xi turned around and started looking around the house: "Where's Chen Chuan?"
"Master said he had some work to deal with in the study."
Shen Xi turned and left.
What kind of work could Chen Chuan have? He must be hiding away to play games, as he thinks the place is too noisy with all the old and young people around.
There is no way. Sister Caibao is really noisy now. The more she talks, the more she talks.
She especially loves to ask why. Shen Xi now doesn't dare to be alone with the child, for fear that she won't be able to answer her hundreds of thousands of whys.
It would be better to leave it to Chen Chuan. He knows everything and is not afraid of his daughter asking questions.
The chatty treasure has a special ability: as long as they are with her, people who are originally quiet will become very talkative within a few minutes.
Look, isn’t Zheng Shou like this now?
An old man and a young man are sitting there, chatting excitedly, how can they not quarrel?
It's not surprising that Chen Chuan would avoid him. After all, he is at home, and Zheng Shou and Huang Haohui are people he can trust. There's nothing wrong with letting them look after the kids while he goes to play games, right?
Chen Chuan thought it was perfect and there was nothing wrong with it.
Sure enough, Shen Xi was not wrong. Chen Chuan was playing games at his desk.
She pushed open the door and asked directly: "Huang Haohui adopted that child, why didn't you mention it?"
Chen Chuan didn't even raise his head: "Didn't I tell you?"
"No."
"Oh, then it shouldn't be important." Chen Chuan said while playing games, "He and Ma Shihong are good friends."
Shen Xi pointed outside: "His...father?"
The boy’s father, the eldest son of the Ma family who died young.
"Ah."
No wonder Huang Haohui adopted him, it turned out he was the only child of his friend.
Shen Xi asked: "Does the Ma family really not intend to recognize him?"
"Not only did they deny it, they also insisted that the child was dead and that this one was impersonating the child for the Ma family's property. They would never admit it, even if they were beaten to death."
Shen Xi was very angry after hearing this.
No matter what, this child is the only son of his eldest brother. Even if he can't return the property he deserves to him, he should at least take him back and raise him well.
He took his eldest brother's money, but treated his child, and his only child, like this. Where is the family affection? Where is his conscience?
"What about his mother?"
"I remarried and had another child. I heard that my husband is not very good and I have no feelings for him."
Ma Shihong's wife was not a strong and independent woman.
I was his high school classmate, and we were childhood sweethearts from high school to college. We got married and had children after graduation.
His wife's family was ordinary, and the Ma family originally did not agree to the marriage. However, Ma Shihong insisted on marrying her, and the Ma family also valued the eldest son, so they had no choice but to compromise.
Ma Shihong's love story is quite similar to Huang Haohui's. They are classmates and they sympathize with each other to some extent and have a very good relationship.
But Huang Haohui had no children, so when he knew that the child was his good friend's son and understood the child's situation, he directly expressed his desire to adopt him.
And he was so bold as to say——
"Master, I may only be able to give you half of this filial tribute in the future. I have to keep the other half to raise the child. After all, as you know, raising a child is very expensive."
Even the almighty Chen Chuan didn't expect that this boomerang could actually pierce himself...
"Haohui, you're wrong to think this way."
"What's wrong?"
"You can't think about cutting costs. After all, money is not saved, but earned. You should think more about increasing revenue. For example, help your master get more business. Or, can we raise our fees? After all, prices have risen now, and cinnabar has become more expensive. What do you think?"
"Master, you are absolutely right! I will work harder to get more business for Master and raise the price."
What you said is true. The prices of yellow paper and cinnabar have skyrocketed in the past two years, but they haven't increased the fees. Isn't that a bit too unscrupulous?
Master said that being too conscientious is not easy to make money. Feng Shui masters also have to eat, don't they?
He put his conscience aside first.
Very good, Chen Chuan is very satisfied.
After hearing about the child's story, Shen Xi sighed.
