Zhou Jian watched Zhou An busy in a daze, watching Zhou An collect money and hold snails, and the back of the little girl happily leaving with a snail, he also looked at it for a while.

It was only two minutes since he asked Zhou An if anyone had bought it, but it was only two minutes, and two copies were sold.

This is a big shock to him, is the money so easy to make?

In particular, the vessel used by Zhou An to hold snails, the mussel shell, broke through the limit of his brain.

"Big brother, is your business so hot?"

Zhou Jian asked in disbelief.

"It's okay! It's okay to sell dozens of copies in one night!"

"Dozens of copies?" Zhou Jian subconsciously glanced at the words on the white bucket - "Five-spice snails 15/copy, and secretly estimated how much dozens of copies can be sold for a night."

He couldn't believe the figures.

It can be sold for hundreds of dollars in one night, and the money from two nights is comparable to a month's salary for his stepfather.

"Xiaojian, don't just watch from the sidelines, someone will come to buy it in a while, I will collect the money, you give me snails for others, can you do this?"

Zhou An ignored Zhou Jian's thoughts and commanded in the tone of a big brother.

"Hey, okay, I can do it!" Zhou Jian hurriedly agreed.

Zhou An saw that his eyes couldn't stop looking at the five-spiced snails in the bucket, so he took a clam shell and scooped a spoonful and handed it to him, "Taste it!"

Zhou Jian thanked and quickly took it, but his eyes were looking around, as soon as Zhou An saw it, he knew what he was looking for, he had seen too many similar situations these days.

"No toothpicks! Just suck it!"

Zhou Jian was slightly surprised, but since the eldest brother said so, although he was a little skeptical that he could suck it out, he still picked up a snail and tried to suck it.

"Slob", this snail did not hit Zhou An's face, it was very face-saving and Zhou Jian easily sucked out the snail meat, Zhou Jian's eyes lit up, he glanced at Zhou An, his mouth moved, chewed a few times, tasted the taste, and then swallowed it.

Thumbs up, "Big brother, this snail tastes good, did you fry it?"

……

The brothers chatted while selling snails.

During the chat, Zhou An learned a lot about his recent situation from Zhou Jian's mouth.

As Zhou An expected, Zhou Jian's current life is indeed very unsatisfactory, since his mother gave birth to a son to his stepfather the year before last, his stepfather's attitude towards him has become worse and worse, beating and scolding at every turn, and quarreling with his mother every once in a while, there is only one meaning in the words - I don't want to raise him anymore.

Especially the reluctance to provide him with education.

Even his mother, because she had a daughter and a son with his stepfather, ignored him a lot, and when she was in a bad mood, she would inexplicably get angry with him.

Zhou Jian said that he didn't want to study next semester, and outside of the words, Zhou Jian also had a lot of resentment towards his biological father Zhou Taiming, and there was a passage in which he said, "Speaking of which, I still blame my father for not being angry! Big brother! Sometimes I really can't understand why he is a brother to the eldest uncle and the second uncle, but his personality is so different from the eldest and second uncle? Why did he give birth to me in the first place?"

Zhou An didn't know how to comfort him when he heard these words.

Come to think of it, Zhou Jian's current situation is indeed very bad.

The stepfather and biological mother both want to get rid of him, but the biological father is irresponsible, only caring about himself, grandpa and grandma passed away early, and now he can't get it even if he wants to go to his grandparents to live.

His grandmother is still alive, but Zhou An remembers that the reason why Zhou Jian's mother married Zhou Taiming, who was 6 years older, at a young age was because the sister-in-law in her family was too powerful, and she couldn't stay at home at all because of her words every day, so she hastily married Zhou Taiming, who seemed to be a talent.

Now, not to mention that Zhou Jian's mother has remarried, even if he hasn't remarried, Zhou Jian wants to stay with his grandmother for many years, and he can't get over the time of his eldest aunt.

Zhou Jian's eldest aunt who can talk about dead people, Zhou An has also seen it a few times, and the speed of normal speech is much faster than that of ordinary people, like a machine gun, especially good at cynicism.

It can be said that Zhou Jian's current situation is typical of his grandmother not being close and his uncle not loving, or even worse, because now his biological parents don't want him.

Zhou An patted Zhou Jian on the shoulder and sighed, "Little sword......! I still have to read it! At least finish junior high school!"

"But my stepfather doesn't want to read it to me anymore......"

Zhou Jian had no choice but to put reality on the table.

Zhou An: "I said today, others don't care about you, and the eldest brother will take care of you in the future! Your stepfather doesn't want to read it to you, the eldest brother will provide it for you!"

"Big brother! No, my grades are bad anyway, even if I continue to study, I won't be able to get into high school......"

Zhou An raised his hand to stop Zhou Jian from continuing to speak.

"Xiaojian, listen to me! I don't expect you to be admitted to high school, I just don't want you to leave regrets in the future, there will definitely be more college students in the future, and there will be more high school graduates, I don't want you to even see a junior high school graduate in the future, and you will feel like a dwarf in your heart! Think about it yourself! Now that there are nine years of compulsory education, who of your peers will not at least not graduate from junior high school in the future?"

Zhou Jian was silent after saying this, and then sighed for a while and said, "But, big brother! Another reason why my stepfather doesn't want me to study is because he wants me to take care of the children for him at home!"

"Xiaojian! Since you are so aggrieved in that home, then go back to your own house! Your house has been empty all the time, you go back to live! In the future, you will learn to cook and do laundry by yourself, and you are now taller than me, as long as you work hard, you should be able to take care of yourself! What do you say?"

"Back to my own house?"

Zhou Jian was stunned, as if he had never considered this option.

Also, his own home has long since remarried with his mother, and his father has been wandering outside all the year round and has become empty, he is a minor, one can't farm, and the other can't go to work to earn money, how can he live in that empty old house alone?

Zhou An patted him on the shoulder, "Well, if you feel that you are too lonely to live alone, then I will move in to accompany you, but you still have to learn laundry and cooking by yourself, after all, I can't accompany you for the rest of your life! You will be in the second year of junior high school next semester, and I will provide you with tuition and living expenses for two years, and after two years, you will be able to support yourself! Now the question is - do you want to live that kind of life? Do you have the determination to do laundry, cooking, or anything else in the future!"

Zhou Jian looked at Zhou An with blinking, hesitating for a while.

After a while, he asked uncertainly, "Big brother, will you really provide for my tuition and living expenses for two years?"

Zhou An smiled, "Anyway, you said it yourself, your grades are bad, you can't be admitted to high school, study, I will provide you with the last two years of junior high school, but every day after school, you have to help me do things! Come here with me at night to do business, just as you earn your own money to support yourself! Okay?"

After hearing this, Zhou Jian not only did not get angry, but showed a happy smile and nodded vigorously, "Well! Big brother, if you say that, I will be much more relieved! No problem! Hehe!"

Otherwise, some people are cheap! I dare not ask for the benefits provided for free, and I have all kinds of doubts, and I need to pay a price, and I can be sure in my heart.
