When he saw that it was the shopkeeper and Zhang San, the shopkeeper settled down and asked a little unhappily, "Why are you back again?" ”

The shopkeeper, Zhang San, said resignedly: "Shopkeeper, I, I want to come and go, but I still can't speak." You'd better talk to someone else! ”

"What? What did you say? Did you forget what I just told you so quickly? The shopkeeper said anxiously and angrily.

Zhang San, the shopkeeper, shook his head and said, "I haven't forgotten." ”

"Didn't forget, why don't you go soon?" The shopkeeper said as if commanding.

The shopkeeper Zhang San bowed his head and said as if pleading guilty: "The shopkeeper, my mother said, you must be honest, and you can't do things that deceive you." ”

"What? Honest? Can honesty be eaten? The shopkeeper asked.

The shopkeeper Zhang San said: "I can't, but I just starve to death, and I won't lie to people." ”

"You're really not going?" The shopkeeper asked.

The shopkeeper shook his head.

"Are you really not going?" The shopkeeper asked again.

The shopkeeper still shook his head and said, "I don't want to go." ”

The shopkeeper lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, and said, "Since you don't want to go, don't do it with me." You can go now. ”

With that, the shopkeeper was back on the recliner.

The shopkeeper asked earnestly: "What about my salary for these three months?" ”

"What? Do you still need to be paid? The shopkeeper asked in astonishment, as if he had heard something unthinkable.

"That's my salary, why don't I?" The shopkeeper Zhang San asked, a little more reasonable.

However, the shopkeeper was not moved at all, just sneered and said with a smile: "If you don't listen to the shopkeeper and violate the rules, you don't want this salary." ”

The shopkeeper Zhang San couldn't do without these three months' wages, which was his subsistence money, and there was an old lady at home to support, and the old lady was still sick and sick, and she took medicine all year round. Even if you can feed yourself by hunting a hare, or do some odd jobs, you can make ends meet. But if the old lady has no medicine, she will have to die.

The second and third children in this shop are filial sons, so naturally they can't watch their old lady die like this. So, this is three months' salary, which is life-saving silver for him.

However, for this store, it is a drop in the bucket.

However, this store is determined not to give it. He said: "Zhang San'er, let me tell you, unless you finish the things I handed over to you today." Not only will I pay you wages, but I will reward you with two taels of silver. ”

"Then I can't lie to anyone." The shopkeeper Zhang San said stubbornly.

The shopkeeper sat up anxiously in the face of such an antiquated Zhang San'er. Then he lowered his posture again, and said to Zhang San, the second junior of the shop, in a serious voice: "Zhang San, even if it is a lie, it is me who deceives people?" What does it have to do with you? You're the one who does the work for me. Even if it's a report officer, it's none of your business? Besides, we didn't say to rob it, and gave them roast rabbit meat to eat. Is this rabbit meat a little more expensive? It's a normal thing to do in business, isn't it? Is that what business is all about? One is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer. What people have is silver, which is not bad. Besides, if you say that this is not ordinary rabbit meat, they might be happy! ”

"But it's not snow rabbit meat." That Zhang San said.

Hearing Zhang San's unmoved words, the shopkeeper stood up anxiously again. With his hands behind his back, he paced back and forth in front of Zhang San for a few steps, and then stood in front of Zhang San and said, "Zhang San, if you weren't for you being my account keeper and errand here." I'm going to go find someone else. But no one else can do it? I can't just be looking for a cook, can I? You can't let a few teenage children go, right? Can they do it? No, it's okay for them to serve the food and pick up the plates. They can't do that. They're so small, and if they do, it's a big deal. So, I still have to ask you to go for this matter. ”

The three pouts did not speak.

The shopkeeper stared at the shopkeeper for a while, and said, "You are really a stone in the pit, smelly and hard!" ”

The shopkeeper Zhang San still didn't speak, just waiting to get paid.

The shopkeeper thought about it, then straightened his chest, put his hands behind his back, and said proudly: "Zhang San, you must know that when I gave you work, I also looked at you for being pitiful, and seeing that you were a filial son." I know that your wife is counting on the decoction to live all day long. If I hadn't given you the work, what would you have been doing in this village? What do you do to make fifteen taels of silver a year? You don't, you don't. My restaurant is the biggest in the village and the best business. If you work for others, you will be given a maximum of five taels of silver a year, hehe, I'm afraid these five taels of silver are not enough for your wife to take medicine, right? ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper looked at the shopkeeper with a smile. I saw that the shop's little two Zhang San's expressions were a little soft. It's no longer the rigidity of the square.

Seeing this scene, the store felt that there was a door. I made persistent efforts and was ready to move the three in one go. I only heard him continue: "I said Zhang San, if you leave like this today, I can not give you these three months' salary, even if you report the official amount is useless." Because you don't listen to the shopkeeper! If you say that I told you to deceive people, how can you say the same? I said that it was a snow rabbit, which was worth fifty taels of silver, so would the officials not believe it? So, you better think about it, and it's better to think about your mother's illness. ”

After speaking, the shopkeeper left the shopkeeper and lay down on the chaise longue.

At this moment, the shopkeeper Zhang San's heart was indeed shaken, after all, this was almost a matter of life and death for his mother.

The shopkeeper Zhang San knew very well that he couldn't drink medicine for a day without drinking medicine for his tuberculosis in old age. Therefore, if I really lose this job, I will lose these three months' salary. The old lady's medicine will be cut off in three days. In that case, the mother's life will be in danger.

Thinking of this, the shopkeeper Zhang San hesitated. But his heart is still struggling, after all, this is still a matter of deceiving people and stealing customers.

However, at this time, the balance in the heart of the shopkeeper Zhang San had begun to tilt towards submission. So, in his heart, he began to think about what the shopkeeper said, what one is willing to fight and one is willing to suffer, what business is like this, and what is not deceptive. Even if it is a deception, it is a deception by his shopkeeper, and it has nothing to do with him Zhang San, so he hinted at the official, and he Zhang San can also escape punishment by not knowing, not knowing, listening to the orders of the store, and so on.
