After the crowd dispersed, Guangdan followed his uncle and helped grandfather back to the house.

At this time, there was only a glimmer of light from the west in the mountain village, and the mountains and valleys gradually became silent in the twilight.

After entering the house, Guangdan pulled his uncle who was about to leave, and the two of them sat side by side at the head of grandpa's kang.

"what happened?"

When my grandfather saw the boy coming, he knew what was going on, but he still pretended to know nothing and asked.

Guangdan smiled awkwardly and scratched his head, "Grandpa, what have you thought about that matter?"

Guangdan was not the only one who was nervous at the moment. Lin Xiaoniu next to him also clenched his palms.

"Well, Grandpa has thought about it and decided that we can't hide this from the clan."

As soon as these words were spoken, Guangdan and Lin Xiaoniu's hearts thumped at the same time, and a feeling of sadness overwhelmed them.

"However, Grandpa also has his own selfish motives. It is inevitable that we should tell the clan about this matter, but we can still discuss when to tell them."

After Grandpa Lin finished speaking, he curled up the corner of his mouth. Although it was dark in the room and he couldn't see the expressions of the two kids clearly, he could imagine it!

Guangdan, who felt that he was being hung up by his grandfather, immediately became a servile person, stretched his neck and began to flatter him happily.

"My grandpa is naturally a man who thinks a lot and sees far ahead. If you ask me, our family still has to rely on him! Grandpa, how much time can you give me?"

"Three days, if you work hard in three days you can earn a hundred bucks. Then look for it with the villagers later, maybe there's still some." Grandpa Lin sighed.

Doesn't he want to keep this secret?

There is no wall in the world that is completely airtight!

"Master! Why is it only three days?" Guangdan widened his eyes, his tone full of dissatisfaction.

"It's getting colder day by day. We don't know if there will be mushrooms in three days. That's enough." Grandpa set a time for Guangdan directly and acted as if there was no more room for discussion.

"Dad, what about Uncle Five?" Uncle Lin reminded from the side.

"Oh, yes, grandpa, at that time, Uncle Wu saw my elder brother and I digging Matsutake mushrooms!" Guangdan also remembered at this time that there were witnesses at that time.

"Xiao Niu, go to Uncle Laowu's house now and tell him about this. Pay attention, tell him alone." Grandpa said without any thought.

Guangdan nodded with some understanding, but still asked with some concern: "Will Master Lao Wu tell everyone tomorrow morning?"

"Your fifth uncle is a sensible man. Tomorrow morning you should avoid his people. They will definitely go into the mountains early in the morning." Grandpa explained in a low voice.

"As expected, it has to be you, Grandpa. Aren't we and Old Fifth Master all on the same boat? Three days is enough! But, Grandpa——"

Guangdan drew out the last word in a coquettish manner, reached out his hand and touched around on the bed, then grabbed grandpa's hand and shook it.

"What's wrong?" The old man was amused by his behavior and couldn't help asking.

"Isn't it that the more you work, the more you get? Look, I earned 300 coins today, but I didn't get a penny. I have no motivation!"

Guangdan still wants to make a final effort for his pocket money!

Although my mother is the housekeeper now, the financial power is still in the hands of my grandfather.

"Didn't you buy things privately?" Grandpa reminded me slappingly.

"Well, Grandpa, how about this? We should follow the principle of more work, more pay and hand over three quarters of the profits to the public. Is that feasible?" Guangdan made a final struggle without giving up.

"As long as your mother agrees, grandpa won't care about these things." Grandpa Lin said as he pulled back his hand, indicating that he was tired.

Guangdan came out of his grandfather's room and felt that he had accomplished two-thirds of his goal. He hummed a little tune with some satisfaction and started looking for Fang Cuihua all over the yard.

As a result, he was strongly rejected by Comrade Fang Cuihua, on the grounds that all the money earned by her uncle as a peddler was turned over to the public, so how could he want to embezzle the money he earned from digging mushrooms?

"What's going on in your head? How do you want your grandparents to look at me, your mother? Does that mean that whatever your brother-in-law earns must be turned over to the public, but my son keeps it for himself?" Fang Cuihua said as she slapped Guangdan on the forehead in annoyance.

"Mom! I'm not smart to begin with! And if you hit me on the head, I'll become a fool and see what you can do to me!" Guangdan felt hopeless at this moment, and his anger was rising uncontrollably!

He decided that next time he had this kind of opportunity to make money, he would definitely make some money himself first!

His pennies!!!!

I feel like I am a big wronged person and I am making things difficult for others!

At this moment, Guangdan'er actually couldn't really integrate himself with the Lin family from the bottom of his heart, and this was mainly reflected on the copper plate.

The same money in the hands of family members and in your own hands are two different things!

"If your mother does something unfair, do you believe that your grandma will take back the housekeeper's power immediately? Your grandma has been waiting for this opportunity, so don't do anything unreasonable to me."

Fang Cuihua finally explained with some reassurance.

Guangdan also knew the relationship between his mother and grandmother. It was a very traditional mother-in-law and daughter-in-law relationship, and the power of the two in the family had always been rising and falling.

At present, Fang Cuihua has the upper hand, mainly because grandma fell ill at the end of last year and had no choice but to give the housekeeper power to Fang Cuihua.

But it would be difficult to get back something that had been given out, and Fang Cuihua herself had a strong personality, and Grandma Lin had not been in good health, so they had no choice but to leave it like this for the time being.

But Grandma Lin did not miss any opportunity. After all, Lin Xiaoniu and Lin Taohua had not yet gotten married, and the old lady still wanted to keep this family firmly in her hands.

This is only Fang Cuihua. If it were Cao Lian, she would have been scolded by Grandma Lin long ago.

Guangdan felt that his mother's dominance had a lot to do with his maternal grandparents. In addition to Fang Cuihua's own fierce personality, Fang's maternal grandparents' father and brothers were all hunters.

At the end of each year, they also work part-time as butchers for the surrounding villages. The Fang family, young and old, are representatives of military power in the surrounding area.

This also led to Fang Cuihua never bowing her head in the Lin family and always being full of confidence.

Thinking about it this way, Guangdan felt that digging matsutake mushrooms was not the only way for him to make money!

Then he smiled and said, "Mom, you are right, but can you promise me to bring back some meat?"

"Look how greedy you are! The village will probably organize an autumn hunt in a few days. Your father, your second uncle, and your younger uncle will all go. Maybe your eldest brother will go too. We will definitely get some of the spoils!"

As she spoke, Fang Cuihua couldn't help but think of her mother's home, and glanced at Lin Daniu beside her with some regret.

If Lin Daniu hadn't disagreed, he would have sent Gouwei to his mother's house and asked his father to take him to the mountains for training.

Alas, the men of the Lin family! They are always cautious! No wonder the family is poor!

"Mom, I think you are better than my brother. If my brother can go, why can't you?"

Guangdan'er's innocent words made Fang Cuihua's eyes sparkle!

"Nonsense! How can a woman go autumn hunting?"

Well, Lin Daniu, who had been silent, suddenly said something that made the stars in my mother's eyes go out.
