Zhou Xiaoxi was the most surprised. She even suspected that her uncle might have changed his mind just like her! ! !

It’s acceptable if this happens to me, but if there are others like me, it’s creepy, ah, ah!

Others could not understand Zhou Xiaoxi's inner collapse, they just felt that Zhou Fu's behavior today was a little different from usual.

Actually, there is nothing strange about it. Everyone has their own areas of expertise, but some people may never have the opportunity to discover them in their lifetime.

How could Zhou Fu, a man who couldn't read a single word, know that he was good at mathematics?

Every time I went to the city to sell grain, it seemed that I was the one who calculated the fastest and most accurately.

Zhao didn't care why Zhou Fu suddenly became smart, she only saw calculation and greed.

"It will take a lot of effort and money to get all this food to the city. But isn't it too much to ask for three taels of silver?"

"Let's not talk about anything else. If we spread the word now that anyone who helps sell grain will be given one or two taels of silver as a reward, I'm afraid everyone in your village will come running to fight for it, right?"

Zhao turned her gaze to the second son of the Zhou family, "Second son, what do you think?"

Zhou Hu was feeling depressed because his eldest brother had snatched his opportunity away from him, but when he saw that there was still a chance, he quickly started thinking of a solution.

"Aunt Zhao, you are wise. We are all family, so it is not appropriate to ask for so much more silver. How about this, I and my eldest brother's family keep half of the grain, and give each of us eight taels of silver?"

Humph, I don’t have money to treat my brother, but I have enough to buy food.

Zhao was too lazy to expose the two brothers. They were thicker than city walls. What would happen if they were exposed? These two brothers didn't know what shame was!

This rough calculation is bound to have errors. Although they all have three acres of land, the grain yields from different families will definitely be different.

But if we weigh them bit by bit, it will take a lot of time. Dali Village is so far away from here, we can't spend the night in the wild.

Sell ​​it another day? Humph!

Zhao could easily guess that within the next day, the grain in the granary would be emptied by the black-hearted Zhou family!

"It's fine to give eight taels to each person. It's not good to leave your own people unused and let others take advantage of them. But, don't you two brothers have to help with the move? Zhou Jun is still waiting to go to the city to see a doctor. This has delayed him for more than an hour. You really are not in a hurry at all!"

The Zhou brothers, having gained benefits, were still willing to help again.

So Zhou Jun was carried onto the donkey cart of Old Man Liu. Sitting next to him were Li's mother and daughter, as well as the black general in her arms and three hens that were curled up on the side and were unusually quiet.

Being surrounded in such a strange way, Zhou Jun could only pinch the palms of his hands with his fingernails to control his expression. Oh no, control it and don't show any expression!

Old man Liu didn't understand. It was okay to bring a dog, but what about three chickens?

What if I get caught in a car accident? I hesitated several times and finally gave up.

Forget it, I don't have the energy to raise it even if I want it. If it flies away, it will fly away. It will make those people in the Zhou family even more upset!

The hen in Zhou Jun's family is also amazing. It just stayed in the corner without making a sound the whole time!

Well, my dear Donkey Deshui is also very human-like. It’s not surprising when you think about it this way!

……

Two brothers stayed to help, and the others went back home.

Old man Zhou had already slipped back home to take a break, using the excuse of leg pain.

But he really didn't lie. Maybe it was because he ran too fast yesterday, but his legs were aching so much today.

Although Xiaonan will never be able to do the moxibustion for me again, I have seen it very clearly during this period of time.

It’s just burning mugwort with ginger slices. It’s not difficult at all!

Why don’t you go to the mountains and pick some mugwort and some wild ginger next time and then do it yourself?

Following the instructions of the two sisters, Li Dali carefully carried out several jars of different sizes, and meticulously wrapped them with bedding and clothes before placing them on the cart.

While helping to pack up, Zhou Hu kept peeking over here. What kind of treasure is in this jar that is usually used to pickle vegetables?

Seeing Li Dali's careful movements, I felt curious and itchy in my heart.

Could it be that the third brother was pretending to faint this time?

Could it be that he wanted to take this opportunity to take away all the gold and silver in the house? Thinking of this, Zhou Hu slapped his forehead hard.

I was so careless that I was led by that old lady Zhao. I didn't even take a close look to see whether the third brother was really dizzy or just pretending!

The more he thought about it, the more possible it seemed. Zhou Hu immediately took a small wooden stool and walked towards the cart.

Just as he was about to pretend to accidentally bump into one of the jars, Li Dali yelled out in a loud voice.

"Hey? What are you doing? Why are you still banging the stool against the jar? If you don't want to help, just say so and don't make things more complicated!"

Zhou Hu stopped awkwardly.

"Brother Dali, you misunderstood me. I was careless. This little stool is made of solid wood. You must take it away. By the way, why are you so surprised? Is there something precious in this jar? Isn't it used to pickle pickles?"

Zhao saw all this and didn't even bother to say a word.

The people in the Zhou family are really disgusting! There is no end to them!

I was so blind at the time that I didn't realize that this family was full of wolves who would eat people without leaving any bones!

Li Dali was so angry that he laughed.

"Second brother Zhou, you are really thoughtful. If my brother-in-law had so many precious things, would he have let himself fall into such a state? He was a soldier for a few years, not a high-ranking official, so where did he get so many treasures? The jars are filled with medicinal herbs that my brother-in-law needs to save his life, so don't I have to be careful with them?"

Zhou Hu smiled awkwardly, choking and unable to utter a word.

They didn't take any pots, pans, or anything else. They only took bedding, clothes, a few small stools, and the remaining food.

The few valuable things left in the house were stuffed into Li's bag and taken away. The largest piece of luggage was a pile of large and small earthenware jars.

Seeing that her daughter had been married to Zhou Jun for more than ten years and had only saved up such a small amount of junk, Zhao felt very unhappy.

Since we're going to live in the same village in the future, let's see how she deals with Zhou Jun, that useless guy!

It is said that rotten mud cannot be propped up against a wall, but Zhao Chunhua doesn't believe it. Since it is rotten mud, let her dry it out before putting it on the wall!

After packing up their things, Zhao's mother and son waved their sleeves and left without any reluctance.

The two brothers who stayed behind inexplicably felt empty inside.

Is this the solution to the big problem of the third brother? They don't have to worry about it anymore?

The wives of the two families had no time to think about these things. As soon as they saw that evil woman Zhao had left, they hurriedly called their daughters-in-law and grandchildren to run to Zhou Jun's house.

What are you doing here? Of course, I’m here to pick up bargains!

They left behind a lot of stuff! If you are lucky, you might find a silver hairpin or a silver bracelet, which would be a huge win!

During the Chinese New Year, they all saw what Li was wearing. The silver bracelet and hairpin were very dazzling!

Of course, they didn't have the chance to pick up silver jewelry, but they took any that could be used.

Zhou Fu's IQ was online today. When others were packing up the pots and pans, he took down the big iron pot in the kitchen by himself.

She didn't mind the dirtiness and just carried it on her back and back home.
