Chapter 27: The Role of Money
Although Zhou Gu'er was cold-hearted, her eyes were staring at Zhou Mazi's movements, she would not be beaten stupidly like in her previous life, she would dodge.
What Zhou Guer didn't expect was that at this time, her adoptive mother Li Hua rushed over and hugged Zhou Guer.
Zhou Gu'er paused for a moment, and reacted instantly, her heart was full of emotion, she knew that her adoptive mother hugged her, this was to suffer for herself.
It was a cigarette pouch pot, if it hit the adoptive mother's back, it would also hurt very much, in case it happened to fall on the head, Zhou Guer didn't dare to imagine it.
She tore her adoptive mother away, and then turned sideways herself, dodging this moment, she didn't want to be hit herself, and she didn't let her adoptive mother take this for herself.
Zhou Mazi expected that Li Hua would block for Zhou Gu'er, but he didn't expect Zhou Gu'er to pull Li Hua to dodge, if it was before, Zhou Gu'er wouldn't dare.
"Her father, if you have something to say, Gu'er has been busy for a day, don't beat her, if you want to beat, beat me."
After Li Hua stood firm, she saw that she and Gu'er didn't get there, and her heart was not stable, she knew Zhou Mazi's temper, and if she didn't find someone to be angry, he wouldn't give up.
"You think you ran away, she wants to rebel with Lao Tzu, Lao Tzu wants to see how she turns against Lao Tzu today!"
Zhou Mazi's eyes were full of anger, Zhou Gu'er dared to hide, that is, to resist him, he felt that his authority had been challenged.
"Her father."
Li Hua was scared, and her lips trembled.
Zhou Feng'er's eyes flashed with schadenfreude, she didn't believe that Zhou Gu'er could please her.
"Daddy!"
Zhou Gu'er saw Zhou Mazi brandishing a cigarette pouch and pot and was about to hit her again, she shouted, this time a little sharp, with anger.
"I sold wild vegetables for three cents today."
Zhou Gu'er looked at the cigarette pouch pot in the air, and spit out the numbers in her mouth, she began to plan to come back and only tell Zhou Mazi that she sold it for two cents, and she had to stay with the rest, she couldn't give it all to Zhou Mazi, because it didn't end well if it was given to her, and she had to keep some money for herself.
When Zhou Gu'er's words came out, Li Hua was stunned, she didn't have time to ask Gu'er about selling wild vegetables just now, but she didn't expect it to be sold, and she also sold it for three cents!
Zhou Mazi's cigarette pouch pot stopped in mid-air, he couldn't smoke it anymore, what about Sanmao, even if it's three cents, it's money, not to mention Sanmao, this big girl can really make money? If it was like today, would she really be able to earn thirty yuan that year?
Zhou Mazi's brain turned quickly, if this is the case, then Zhou Gu'er is a cash cow, he really can't beat her, if he beats her up, she lies down, who will make money for herself. He can get along with people, but he can't get along with money.
"Did you really sell Sanmao?"
Zhou Mazi still didn't believe it. He asked hesitantly.
Zhou Gu'er found that Zhou Mazi's cigarette pouch and pot had hung down, and sneered in his heart, sure enough, the money was easy to use.
"Really, dad doesn't believe it, I'll show it to my dad now."
After Gu Er finished speaking, she turned around and went to take out the handkerchief, the money was wrapped in the handkerchief, she divided it into two parts, one was two cents in it, it was intended for Zhou Mazi to see, and now it was more than one cent.
"Impossible, how can wild vegetables be sold for money, and sell so much, she must be blind, don't believe her!"
Zhou Feng'er's eyes widened, seeing that Zhou Gu'er was about to be beaten, but now because she sold it for money, her father stopped beating her. She couldn't accept such a reversal.
"If you shut up Lao Tzu, you will wander around all day long, and if you have the ability, you will also make money for Lao Tzu."
Zhou Mazi scolded impatiently. What about his daughter, he doesn't like it as much as he does.
Zhou Feng'er bit her lip with a pale face, where is she going to make money, let her also learn from Zhou Gu'er to dig wild vegetables, and then go to the city to sell them, she won't do it, she can exhaust people to death.
Zhou Gu'er got the money right, and stuffed the excess back.
"Dad, Mom, look, this is Sanmao."
Zhou Guer spread out the money, there was no light in the house, it was a little dark, Zhou Mazi came to Zhou Guer, snatched the handkerchief, took the handkerchief to the door of the house, and looked at the money in his hand by the moonlight.
He checked carefully, it was indeed Sanmao, his face flashed with joy, with these Sanmao, he could live happily for two days again.
"Even if you didn't go for a day in vain, you didn't eat Lao Tzu's rice in vain, Lao Tzu took the money first."
It is impossible for Zhou Mazi to give Zhou Gu'er the money he received.
Zhou Guer thought about it.
"I was going to save up enough thirty yuan to give to my dad together, and it's okay for dad to take it, let's drink some wine first, I'll write down these three cents, and count them together in the end."
Zhou Gu'er had already planned it. Otherwise, Zhou Mazi will take some today and tomorrow, when will she save enough for thirty.
"Hmph, it's so clear to Lao Tzu, you eat Lao Tzu, drink Lao Tzu, your life is Lao Tzu, and you dare to settle accounts with Lao Tzu. In the future, be honest with Lao Tzu, and then make trouble, be careful that Lao Tzu picks your skin. ”
Zhou Mazi hummed dissatisfied, but because of these three hairs, he didn't say much about Zhou Gu'er, and even Li Hua didn't have the heart to fight, with that strength, he also planned to drink a little burn.
Zhou Feng'er didn't dare to say anything more, she knew that Zhou Gu'er's three cents had played a role, and her father couldn't beat her again today, as for Mom, it wasn't her own mother, she didn't look at herself at all, she suffered such a big loss in vain, she was unwilling!
"Dad, I'm going up the mountain tomorrow, I'm going to get more wild vegetables, and I'll go to the city to sell them later. I'll leave the family affairs alone. ”
Zhou Gu'er gave an explanation to Zhou Mazi, so as not to make trouble for him again.
"Will Hou Jiaming still go with you?"
Zhou Mazi asked, with a hint of hope in his eyes, if Sun Jiaming still goes, it means that he is a little interesting to his eldest daughter.
"Brother Jiaming is not going. I'll go by myself, I know the way, it's okay. ”
Zhou Gu'er knew what her adoptive father meant, but she didn't want to use Sun Jiaming as a shield.
"Hmph, it's useless, go ahead."
Zhou Mazi snorted, a little dissatisfied, this girl still has no ability, and Sun Jiaming can't catch it.
"With me at home, don't worry, don't be too tired."
Li Hua also knew that this turmoil was over, and she was happy that her daughter could make money, but she also felt sorry for her daughter.
"Hmm."
Zhou Gu'er nodded.
"Hungry, aren't you? Let's go, eat something with my mother, I can't sleep without a full stomach. ”
Li Hua took Zhou Guer's hand and wanted to go to the kitchen.
Zhou Mazi didn't speak, if he usually wanted to scold a few words, saying that Zhou Gu'er ate white food, but today he had these three cents, and he didn't have the heart to scold Zhou Gu'er.
"You can't get through it."
When Li Hua walked to the door, she remembered her second daughter again.
"I'm not going."
Zhou Feng'er muttered fiercely, she was too lazy to look at Zhou Gu'er, and she didn't bother to pay attention to Li Hua.
"Then I'll go with your sister."
Li Hua didn't say anything more, and went to the kitchen with Zhou Gu'er.
