Chapter 5 Shameless

Finally got his slingshot back, but Chen Zheng still had many questions to ask.

Fortunately, Wei Dayong, apart from not admitting that he is a bandit, answers other questions.

"Second brother, what do you think of your village leader like me? Why do you want to get married to me?" Chen Zheng asked.

This is what he is most confused about. As the leader of Hongsong Village, Yue Xiaorong needs industry and subordinates. So what is she trying to do?

Is it just because I am pretty and greedy for my body?

Then why not make a living with yourself?

Seeing Chen Zheng looking confused, Wei Dayong said seriously: "The reason why the village leader likes you is quite simple, because both your parents are dead and you have no worries."

Chen Zheng was stunned. What is the reason? If you choose your husband according to this, then those who meet the standards can line up from Hongsongzhai to the county town.

It seems that it is because of the reason why I look good.

After about a quarter of an hour, they finally reached the Red Pine Forest.

"Brothers, I'll try to cut more red pine, sell it for a good price, and change it to wine and meat!" Wei Dayong began to greet him.

As a qualified little carpenter, Chen Zheng is still quite sensitive to wood. Looking at the red pine trees, he looked like he saw beautiful women, and his hands kept stroking the pine trees.

"What a great mahogany!" Chen Zheng murmured to himself.

The others had already started to cut down trees with a groan, and only Chen Zheng walked around the forest. When he touched and looked, he shook his head and nodded, looking very idle.

However, everyone knows that he is the husband of the village leader. It would be nice to be able to come to the forest to accompany them to cut trees. How could he ask him to do it himself?

"It's time to fall!"

Wei Dayong shouted in his voice, which scared Chen Zheng. When he looked back, he happened to see a red pine being cut down.

Chen Zheng quickly walked over and counted the annual rings of the red pine. He couldn't help but be amazed. This is a red pine tree that has been around for more than ten years. Can it be sold for a lot of money, right?

Slowly approaching Wei Dayong, Chen Zheng asked, "Second brother, how much can this red pine wood be sold for?"

"This one can be sold for five or six taels of silver. Everyone has worked hard, and this day is only a few dozen taels, and it can be exchanged for some wine, meat, rice and flour." Wei Dayong introduced to Chen Zheng.

After hearing this, Chen Zheng felt a little sad, really sad!

This fine mahogany is only sold for five or six taels of silver? The guy who collected the wood was so dark!

If this is made into various furniture, the price can be several times higher!

Seeing Wei Dayong and the others busy pruning branches, Chen Zheng kept shaking his head. In his eyes, those people had changed from hardworking and simple workers to prodigal sons who didn't know the status of the people.

Yue Xiaorong is the leader of Hongsong Village, and he is the master of the village. These people are losing their fortunes, and they will lose their property. How can they not feel sorry for them?

However, then again, with Chen Zheng's current skills, it's okay to make some simple tables, chairs, and benches. He can't make some grades of furniture. These mahogany are a waste when he gets into his hands.

Sadly for the cheap sale of this mahogany, angry that his skills were not sophisticated, Chen spent the day in a tangle.

Seeing more than a dozen mahogany put into the car, Chen Zheng felt even more distressed. If you sell one more, you will be able to pay for one more!

After returning to his and Yue Xiaorong's home, Chen Zheng looked depressed.

Soon, Yue Xiaorong came back from outside and saw something was wrong with Chen Zheng, so she asked, "What's wrong with you? Are you tired of cutting trees?"

Chen Zheng shook his head without answering, but he was dismayed but could not hide it.

Yue Xiaorong sat opposite him, smiled slightly, and coaxed, "You are my husband now. If you have any questions, tell me, is someone bullying you outside?"

After looking at Yue Xiaorong, Chen Zheng seemed to have recovered his spirit and said, "Our red pine wood is too cheap, it's a loss!"

After hearing this, Yue Xiaorong was happy and said with a smile: "It's because of this that I thought someone in the village couldn't get along with you."

"Isn't this a big deal?" Chen Zheng asked back.

"Just enough money, it's useless to make too much money." Yue Xiaorong said.

Chen Zheng rolled his eyes, saying that if a woman is too big, she will be very brainless. Today he finally confirmed it.

As a carpenter, he would never watch those good mahogany sell at such a low price, which is an insult to mahogany!

"I have a heartless request, I don't know if I can mention it." Chen Zheng said.

Yue Xiaorong nodded and said, "Even if I can do it, I will satisfy you."

Chen Zheng's eyes lit up, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I don't want to give up my carpenter skills. Can I let me go back and bring my tools back?"

Yue Xiaorong stared at Chen Zheng for a long time, raised her lips and said, "You want to take the opportunity to escape."

"I'm not, I don't, don't talk nonsense!" Chen Zheng denied directly.

"Don't worry, I will send someone to get it for you tomorrow. Do whatever you want. Anyway, we don't have anything else, so there is a lot of wood." After Yue Xiaorong said that, she turned around and went to the hut again.

Chen Zheng had no chance to refute at all, so he had to lie on the creaking bed and go to bed first.

When he woke up the next day, Yue Xiaorong had already left, but food was left on the table.

After breakfast, I walked out of the house and didn't have to go into the mountains to log wood today. Yue Xiaorong had no other explanation, so Chen Zheng chose to bask in the sun.

Not long after, Chen Zheng saw Wei Dayong walking over with a big bag.

Wei Dayong took the bag to Chen Zheng and said, "Your tools are all inside. Look at it yourself. Are you still missing?"

Chen Zheng opened the bag and checked. There were basically all kinds of saws, chisels, planes, crimping rulers, and ink lines inside, and there was nothing missing.

Then, Chen Zheng thought of something and said, "You still don't admit that you didn't bring me here? If not, how did you know where I live? And how did you get it?"

Wei Dayong was stunned. After looking at Chen Zheng for a moment, he suddenly grinned and said, "I didn't pick this up, I picked it up at the gate of the village."

This made Chen Zheng speechless for a moment.

"If it's okay, I'll leave first, no thanks!" Wei Dayong turned around and left.

Looking at Wei Dayong's back, Chen Zheng finally reacted and couldn't help but scold: "Second brother, you are so thick-skinned and shameless!"
