Er Niang suppressed the shock and anger in her heart and returned the clothes to the bathhouse owner indiscriminately, asking him to keep quiet.
The store owner is also a sensible person.
He has been running a bathhouse in Liangzhou City for so many years and has traveled all over the country.
He has never seen anyone or anything.
He understood what happened today when he saw it.
At this time, I saw that the young lady in front of me actually wanted to hide for those people, and I admired her benevolence and righteousness in my heart.
Liangzhou City is a place in the western border, and the folk customs are very different from those in the Central Plains.
Most people here dare to venture and fight.
Without so many restrictions of etiquette, in the words of some Central Plains people, it is barbaric.
But no matter what kind of barbaric place you are in, if your reputation for stealing is spread, it will be bad after all, and you may be looked down upon for the rest of your life.
"Why do you want to take back those cashmeres for them?"
the bathhouse owner Jian Erniang reminded her as if she was a little flustered and out of ideas. "" When Er Niang heard this, she realized that she had just stuffed the cashmere back into those clothes without knowing what she was thinking.
It was cashmere that she bought with money and asked those people to pick out.
Why should I give it to them for nothing?
So the second wife, Peng Er, took the clothes from the store, rummaged through all the cashmere, wrapped it in a cloth, and went back to her residence without waiting for those who were still taking a bath behind. .
When those people came out to get dressed after taking a bath, some people immediately realized that something was wrong.
They originally thought that the workers in the bathhouse were ignorant of their things, but when a few people looked at each other, they immediately knew that something was wrong.
Erniang and the others have already gone back without even saying hello, and the cashmere they hid in their clothes has disappeared.
Thinking about the fact that they were invited out to eat and take a shower after work today, as long as they are not too stupid, , now I basically have it all figured out in my mind.
When they got dressed and went out to the lobby, they saw that the store owner looked at them in a very wrong way.
They didn't dare to ask any more questions and hurriedly left the bathhouse with their heads lowered.
"What can we do?"
Walking on the loess streets outside, several women felt uneasy.
"It's better not to report to the official."
I heard that those Central Plains people always want to report to the official.
"No, if you want to report it to an official, you have to take the stolen goods from someone else.
She took away all the cashmere we hid, how can she report it to an official?"
said a bold woman.
"Where are you at home?"
someone asked with a trembling voice.
"Look what a big deal it is to scare you."
Someone next to him laughed.
"It's just cashmere, and the reporting officer doesn't care."
"They are from out of town, what else can they do to us?"
"Are you still afraid?"
"Don't be afraid.
Looking at Luo Erniang, I think she is not that kind of person."
Several people said this, but their feet speeded up in unison.
They had to hide the cashmere at home.
If the people from out of town really went to report it to the police, they couldn't be caught and did it as long as there was no evidence. , people like me insist on denying it, so naturally nothing will happen.
From the beginning to the end, those who didn't take the cashmere didn't say a few words.
When Erniang and the others started to hire people to pick wool, they only hired three or two people.
Later, more and more wool was collected, and more and more people came to work with them.
It didn't take long for the hired workers to come to their place.
It has grown to eleven.

Two meals a day for these eleven people is actually a big expense.
Especially here in Liangzhou City, the price of food is relatively high, but meat is not expensive.
They usually buy more meat on weekdays, in order to be able to Luo Erniang also put a lot of thought into making these people eat better, and she was quite willing to spend more money on food.
She didn't expect that what she would get in return in the end would be like this.
After returning to her residence that night, Er Niang also tossed and turned and couldn't sleep.
She scolded herself for being stupid in her heart, and at the same time she was angry at those people who were so ungrateful that they took the cashmere and didn't know how to make fun of themselves in private.
After feeling annoyed and sighing a few times, I began to think about how to deal with this situation now.
It would be great if Saburo was here.
He always has more ideas than the sisters.
Speaking of which, when they were in Xipo Village, many people respected Saburo's benevolence and righteousness and were afraid of his reputation as a coffin board, so things like this would never happen.
But here in Liangzhou City, what do they have?
To the local people, she, Luo Erniang, is just an unknown outsider.
A young lady in her teens, she looks easy to bully.
How can we be like Saburo, who is respected, loved, and feared at the same time?
What happened today, if Saburo were here instead, what would he do?
I thought about it for most of the night, until the sky gradually became brighter, and then I squinted for a while.
When it was broad daylight, Erniang got up again.
After breakfast, two hired workers came into the yard hesitantly.
Er Niang did not find any cashmere on them yesterday, and they were not close to the cashmere thieves on weekdays.
They were a little bit confused.
A look of exclusion.
"Come in quickly.
Don't pick up cashmere today.
I'll teach you how to spin cashmere thread."
Er Niang waved to them.
"Hey."
At first, the two people felt a little nervous when they heard that Er Niang said she wouldn't let them pick cashmere.
Later, they heard that she wanted to teach them to spin cashmere thread, and they immediately became happy.
Although Liangzhou City is an important distribution center for cashmere trading, for some reason, the cashmere processing industry is not developed.
At most, the cashmere is sorted from wool, and almost no one does spinning and dyeing.
The carpenters here don't know how to spin cashmere thread machines.
If Erniang and the others want to use it, they have to modify the spinning wheel used to spin linen thread.
This modification is not too difficult.
The spinning wheel is just that simple in the first place.
Several structures of the machine are used all day long, and they have long been familiar with them.
A few people set up two spinning wheels in a well-lit room and began to spin cashmere thread.
Er Niang and Peng Er demonstrated, and the other two followed.
Tian Chonghu went out again after breakfast.
He has been wandering around Liangzhou city recently.
Er Niang didn't say anything to him.
There was no harm in letting him go out to get familiar with her.
Luo Yong was also with her at the beginning.
As I said, Tian Chonghu is a smart boy.
After arriving here, you can ask him to do anything that needs to be run outside.
Tian Xiang'er is probably still in the kitchen.

That girl really loves to eat.
She is willing to fight with people in the kitchen all day long, as long as she can get some food.
She is also happy to watch her do nothing while eating.
Not much cashmere thread had just been spun here, and the other two who had not stolen cashmere came one after another.
Erniang still invited them to come here and learn to spin cashmere thread.
The morning passed uneventfully, but in the afternoon, the problem emerged.
Somehow, those people who had heard before that Luo Erniang was teaching these four people to spin cashmere yarn, some of them came over shamelessly.
A total of four people came, and three others didn't come.
The four people were noisy in the yard, saying how difficult their life was and how they were confused for a moment.
They said they were coming to apologize.
Judging from their posture, it was clear that they wanted to force Luo Erniang to teach them how to spin cashmere thread.
There are currently very few people here in Liangzhou City who know this craft.
If they can learn it, there is no need to worry about not being able to earn money and food.
"Hey, it's really stupid to do such a thing."
At this time, a neighbor said: "But I think they are still good at work.
If you don't want them now, you may not be able to compare with others if you go out to find others."
They are strong."
The person who spoke lived relatively close to the courtyard where Er Niang and the others lived, and they had some contact with each other on weekdays.
Among the four people in the courtyard, one of them was introduced by her.
According to her, this kind of thing is inevitable.
Next time, they should pay more attention and watch more closely.
They should do the business how to do it.
There is no need to make things so ugly.
After all, people like them There is no benefit to offending the locals.
"If there really aren't anyone better than them in Liangzhou City, then I won't do the cashmere business."
Er Niang had no intention of compromising.
"I did some calculations last night.
There has been a lot of difference in cashmere recently.
It is about twenty kilograms less than before."
Compared with Er Niang, Peng Er's attitude was tougher: "These twenty kilograms Before the cashmere is returned, don’t say any more stupid words.”
Previously, Er Niang's attitude was not clear enough, so it was difficult for her to stand up and say anything.
Now, Er Niang's attitude was clear, and she naturally became rude.
"Twenty pounds, you are going to eat people."
Upon hearing Peng Er's words, the few in the yard jumped up immediately.
"I didn't take that much, I just took a little bit in the past two days."
Someone defended.
"I don't know which of you will get more and who will get less."
Peng Er sneered: "Twenty jins is not much.
There are seven of you in total, and one share is less than three jins per person."
"I, I didn't take that much."
The psychological quality was not strong enough, so he was a little panicked at this time.
Cashmere is so precious.
Even in their Liangzhou City, it was sold by two, three pounds.
Cashmere, even if you peel off their skin, you can't get that much.
"If you didn't take three catties, then someone must have taken more than three catties."

Er Niang also spoke at this time.
No one can tell how much cashmere was lost now, but it is not an exaggeration to say twenty kilograms.
They can hire more than ten people to work.
Erniang and his stall are also relatively large, with more than ten kilograms.
Twenty pounds of cashmere was lost in the sky.
If it were a careless person, he might not even be able to notice it.
There were seven people in total who stole cashmere, and evenly divided it was less than three kilograms per person.
This was not enough.
They stuffed some into their arms every day, and after more than ten days, the amount was more than three kilograms.
However, Er Niang guessed that these people There should still be a big thief inside.
Others may not have taken much.
After all, not everyone took it from the beginning.
Some people may have just started taking it in the past two days.
"It really weighs twenty kilograms."
At this time, the neighbor who was still there talking to Xini also asked.
"Yeah."
Erniang nodded.
"Ouch," the man sighed and said nothing more.
Twenty pounds of cashmere is not enough for his family.
Just this loss alone might make him bankrupt.
It's such a dirty trick.
It's not a matter of being confused for a while.
"You can go back now.
If you have figured it out, you can return the cashmere yourself."
Er Niang finally said.
When those women came out of the yard, they had mixed feelings in their hearts.
Why was there so much twenty kilograms?
Who took so much?
Looking at the appearance of Luo Erniang, she must not be lying.
Even if there was not twenty kilograms, Jin, no matter what, there must be more than ten kilograms.
They didn't realize that they had originally agreed to "beg" Luo Erniang to teach them how to spin cashmere thread, but how could it end up like this?
Erniang stood under the eaves of the courtyard, looking at the leaving figures of those people, a faint smile flashed in her eyes.
In the past, when she was at home, she had made bad fermented bean curd, and she had also collected the wrong money when visiting a store.
Every time she made a mistake, she would be secretly annoyed in her heart.
At that time, Sanlang always told her, don't be upset, it's just that little thing, it's not like their family can't afford to pay for it, it's very annoying, just pay more attention next time.
It's not like she couldn't afford the cashmere she lost this time.
When she went out before, Luo Yong asked her to bring a lot of money.
In addition to cash, she also had silver hairpins, rubber-soled leather boots, and even several pairs of shoe soles.
If you sell the rubber soles, you can get a lot of money, not to mention that they have recently made several cashmere sales and made a lot of money.
After thinking about it, Er Niang was no longer so angry, but she was still worried that those women would come to pester her.
Even if she wanted to let these cashmere thieves go and not pursue the matter anymore, the other party might not.
I'm willing to let go of this piece of fat.
As long as there is a place that can be taken advantage of, people will naturally get involved.
She originally understood these principles, but her life at home has become more and more comfortable in the past two years, so she has not thought about it less.
Sanlang said that she should think more about countermeasures for everything.
Free novels bring you joy and joy ---> storyskyline.net
She thought about it for most of the night last night, and finally she got some clues.
If there is an advantage to be taken advantage of, these people will get involved.
So, if there is a debt to be paid, these people will probably take a detour when they see her in the future.
