Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 46: Unlucky Zhou Fu (1)

Qian did not argue with Li Dali again, as this would only make him dislike her more.

She shouldn't be so anxious. She could have gone to confront the family at any time, so why did she choose to do so when Dali was here?

She took it for granted that Li Dali would stand on her side, but she didn't expect that her man would turn his elbow against her!

As Qian walked home, she was trying hard to think of a strategy.

Li Dali, who stayed in Zhao's house, was very embarrassed. He was not good at speaking to begin with, and now he didn't know what to say.

Qian's performance made him feel ashamed, and he could only work hard.

Finally, it was Zhao who spoke:

"Okay, stop being so quiet. It was my idea to bring your eldest sister and her family here, and it was not appropriate to not discuss it with your wife. Talk to her properly when you go back, and try not to have a quarrel."

"It's hard to maintain the relationship between husband and wife, but it's very easy to destroy it. Dali, you have to cherish your fate."

This couple has been together for seven years with ups and downs, but there are only a few seven years in a person's life!

Zhao knew very well that the relationship between husband and wife was the strongest, and she, as a mother, could not be with her child for the rest of her life.

However, Qian's words still irritated Li, and she could no longer live in her parents' home with peace of mind.

"Mom, although what my sister-in-law said is a bit harsh, it does make sense. It's really unreasonable for our whole family to squeeze in with you."

Zhou Xiaoxi actually didn't care at all. She hadn't planned to stay at her grandmother's house for a long time, so she didn't have any psychological burden at all.

As long as you can think of a way to make money, save enough money and buy a piece of land and build a new house.

It's no big deal to live under someone else's roof temporarily, but you can't let your family of three go out and sleep in the open just for the sake of worthless face.

Mrs. Zhao was very unhappy. It was already this time and her daughter was still so shameless!

"Okay, take your luggage and go wherever you want. I won't stop you."

When Zhou Jun heard his wife say that, he knew something bad was going to happen. The family is now extremely poor, and if his mother-in-law really doesn't care about him anymore, then he would be helpless!

In this situation, we have to live here with a thick skin and pay it back when life gets better in the future!

He quickly tried to smooth things over.

"Mother-in-law, please don't be angry. Mrs. Li is just shy. Where else can we go? We can only stay here with your thick skin for now."

Li hadn't thought of a way out at all. She just felt ashamed to stay in her mother's house. When she heard her mother say that, she was so ashamed that she wanted to find a crack in the stone to hide in!

Now I have sixteen taels of silver earned from selling grain. Even if I take it all out, it is not enough to build a house.

What’s more, there is no land left, and even food has become a problem.

The thought of regret flashed through her mind for a moment, but she quickly suppressed it.

Huaihua Village is a place where people are eaten without leaving any bones behind, and anyone can step on them.

Thinking about the incident with Xiaoxi girl again, if her mother and brother had not arrived in time, and if her father-in-law had not been more tough, how would she have been able to stop it!

Even if you report it to the village head or even to the county government, no one will care.

It was natural for the elders to arrange marriages for their children, and she, as a mother, could not stop it. Her husband was so angry that he could not explain himself clearly, and he could not be relied on at all!

Thinking of this, the last bit of regret in Li's heart disappeared. She had to look forward to the future. She had been wrong.

"Mom, I was wrong. I always thought that living with you would be looked down upon, but who cares about our family's life or death? Before our family saves enough money to go out and live, I will shamelessly stay with you!"

"But I will pay you every penny for all your food, clothing and other expenses. I will never eat or drink for free!"

Zhao was satisfied and finally smiled.

"You're dreaming. I won't allow you to eat and live for free! We all have hands and feet, so why can't we make money by doing something? It's not shameful to save even a penny at a time!"

After resolving the biggest knot in their hearts, Zhou Jun and his wife finally felt at ease.

However, the marriage proposal involving Zhou Xiaoxi that Li had just mentioned did not fall through because of their family's refusal.

———Zhou Fu agreed to marry his youngest daughter Erniu to him.

Erniu is already sixteen years old this year, which is a moderate age in the countryside and just the right age for her to get married.

But this is not an age of famine. Their country of Da'an is peaceful and prosperous. Which good family would sell their children for money?

Did Zhou Fu's head get caught in the door? He was confused, and Niu was also confused?

This matter caused a lot of uproar in Huaihua Village.

However, after learning the real situation, no one said that this marriage was inappropriate, except that they lamented that Zhou Fu had bad luck.

Because Zhou Fu lost dozens of taels of silver in one day.

……

Zhou Fu collected more than 900 kilograms of grain from Zhou's army, and paid only eight taels of silver.

If you transport the grain to the grain shop in the city and sell it, you can earn more than one tael. If you are lucky, you may even earn two taels when the grain price rises!

Zhou Fu was worried that the night would bring more trouble, so he planned to sell the grain as soon as possible.

He didn't even inform his second brother Zhou Hu. Old Man Liu was the only one in the village who had a donkey cart, and one more person had to queue up.

I'm not stupid, I just need to focus on doing things like this.

At first Old Man Liu did not agree. His donkey Deshui was already quite old, and it would definitely not be able to pull more than 900 kilograms of grain at a time.

If something happens to the donkey, life will be meaningless. But you can't ignore its life or death just to make money.

In the end, Zhou Fu compromised and agreed to transport the grain to the city in two batches and pay double the money.

That day, Old Man Liu had a cold, so he didn't go with them. But just because he didn't go, something bad happened!

In order to avoid being discovered by Old Man Liu, Zhou Fu set out before dawn.

He had never planned from the beginning to go into the city in two trips. It would be tiring and would delay things. Only a fool would make two trips!

But as they were about to enter the city and it was already bright, Lu Deshui could no longer hold on.

How could Zhou Fu feel sorry for a beast? He swung the whip in his hand, leaving bloody marks on the donkey's back!

How could Donkey Deshui, who had always been cared for by Old Man Liu, stand such suffering? He soon lost his temper and started to toss and turn in a rage.

No matter how hard Zhou Fu whipped him, it was of no use; instead he just jumped even more violently.

Finally the cart was overturned, and Donkey Deshui was covered in blood after being beaten. He kicked Zhou Fu hard with his hind legs, broke free from the reins, and ran away without a trace.

Bags of grain were scattered all over the ground. When the country people who were rushing to the city saw the grain all over the ground, their eyes glowed green.

Everyone rushed forward, some put the things in bags, some put them in baskets, and some even loaded them onto their own carts.

In short, the scene was in chaos for a while.

Zhou Fu was kicked in the chest by Donkey Deshui. He took a long time to recover and spat out a large mouthful of black blood before he came to his senses.

He shouted in panic, and everyone quickly dispersed. When the soldiers guarding the city gate arrived, no one was left.

It is said that the law cannot be blamed on the masses, and Zhou Fu shouted too late, so the soldiers were powerless. They just comforted him with a few words and let the matter go.

Zhou Fu had little knowledge and did not dare to go to the county government to report.

Looking at the broken cart and the last bit of food scattered on the ground being happily eaten by sparrows, he was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet.
