Chapter 126: Hating Iron Doesn't Make Steel

Except for this episode, the Mid-Autumn Festival went quite smoothly.

Grandma Chi got the black eggs and moon cakes sent by Zhou, Qiao's looked greedy, but after all, Chi Yue and their family had a stiff quarrel, and it was not good to come to Zhou's place to ask for it, so she went to her mother-in-law's place to grind and soak hard, and finally got five or six black eggs, ready to take them back to the family to try them.

"Look at your greed, isn't this thing like an egg? It's as if the Zhou family is really so generous, as if they will bring good things. Grandma Chi looked at Qiao's salivating look, and snorted from her nose, hating iron but not steel.

"Mother, black chickens are a good thing, much more expensive than eggs, the price has to be three or four times that of eggs, and the whole village is probably only their family." Qiao's thought that Grandma Chi didn't know the gold of this black egg, so she explained it to her, but she "tsk" twice in the blink of an eye, and said with a wink: "But you said that Zhou's small device, I believe it." The day before yesterday, someone from Zhoujia Village went to their house, but they gave them a plucked black chicken! Oh, where can we afford to eat black chicken? That's what the daughters and wives take to replenish the body, especially for beauty and beauty! It's a lot of money, so I don't need to mention it. Such a precious thing, people are willing to give it to their own mother's family, but they are not willing to give it to you and your father-in-law, it can be seen how powerful this eccentricity is! ”

Seeing that the Zhou family took the Zhou family's black chicken, Qiao also heard others mention it to her.

At this time, it was used to stimulate Grandma Chi, and it was also to make Grandma Chi angry, and to target the Zhou family, just to avenge Chi Yue and Chi Yuan's idea.

Sure enough, when Grandma Chi heard this, she rushed up in one breath and said hatefully: "Okay, I really have the kindness of the Zhou family and take good things to honor us, but it turns out that she is hiding her selfishness!" Despising us so much, throwing the bad things to us, but keeping all the good things for her own family? Hmph, marrying our Chi family but still favoring my mother's family, this eats things inside and out, and deserves to be immersed in the pig cage! ”

But she knew that Chi Yue was so powerful, and it was completely her own wishful thinking to dip Zhou's pig cage, and she couldn't do it, so she just scolded verbally, and didn't really dare to do anything.

Seeing that Grandma Chi seemed to be really afraid of the Zhou family, Qiao's became more and more fanning the flames, and gave Grandma Chi an idea, "Mother, I think that although Chi Yue Nan Nizi is determined to cut off relations with us, her mother is a soft-hearted and unassertive, and every New Year's Day, she will come over to send you some rice and noodles to eat, etc., I wish you could give her a good face, don't talk about her in front of outsiders." Next time, you pretend to meet her on the way, teach her a lesson, and ask her to send two black chickens to your second elder, I don't think she dares to disobey your words, and I guess I will send it to you without knowing Chi Yue's fart. ”

Zhou's temperament, Qiao's knows too well. Give her 10,000 guts, she doesn't dare to turn around and squeeze Grandma Chi's mother-in-law, Grandma Chi has something to ask, and she must have something to do. It's not about giving money, it's just about giving some food, and Zhou must be very generous.

As long as you don't kill a pool moon halfway, it's fine. This has to be done by Grandma Chi herself, and she wants Zhou Shi Mo to ask Chi Yue to learn about it.

The reason why Grandma Chi asked for two black chickens, one of them naturally has their family's share, who called her the idea?

Grandma Chi felt that Qiao's method was good, and the two hit it off and settled the matter.

The next day, Grandma Chi deliberately waited for Chi Yue Chi Xin to drive a carriage to work in the county seat, and walked around a mile away from Zhou's house, waiting for Zhou to go out.

Zhou's house is at the foot of the mountain, a long distance from the village, and there are fields and fields in the middle, so even if it is so far away, the field of vision is very wide, and you can see the movement in front of Zhou's house at a glance.

The reason why Grandma Chi didn't dare to come to the door and say that it was not only because she had already signed an agreement with them to sever contact, but she couldn't pull her face to violate the agreement again, and she didn't ask anyone to say it. What's more, when she thought of Bronze's grinning teeth, she couldn't help but tremble, and wanted to pee her pants, because she didn't even dare to pass in front of Zhou's door.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival, the family's sugar workshop reopened, and Zhou only cared about welcoming the workers who came to work at home, and after a few words with them, he prepared tools to make brown sugar and carried the sugar cane piled up in a pile.

Since Chi Xin and Chi Yue went to work in the county seat, the command of the small workshop at home has fallen on Zhou alone, and she has also been equipped with a small helper Xiao Chen who specializes in supervision and bookkeeping. The work in the sugar room, Chi Yue found a few more reliable ones who have been helping in it.

Zhou is kind and likes to talk and laugh with the workers when he works. When I see people tired from doing work, or have discomfort on their bodies, I like to reach out and help them, allowing them to rest for a long time. It's because everyone likes this amiable and humane foreman.

Among the workers, there were difficulties, and those who reached out to borrow some small money from her, Zhou also borrowed them generously, not even IOUs. Such a strong human affection and absolute trust make everyone gradually have a unique affection for the small workshop. Even if there was more lucrative land elsewhere, they did not bother to look at it, and refused to leave this small workshop, as if they were desperate to maintain their own home.

Zhou only cared about the things in the busy workshop, and never even stepped out of the house all day. Grandma Chi waited all day, and in the evening, her waist and legs were sore and sore, and she had to bear the suspicious eyes of her neighbors, so she had to take advantage of the night to walk back.

Resentful and depressed all night, seeing that the next day was the day to go to the town to catch the market, Grandma Chi thought, I heard that every time the Zhou family came to the market in the past, they would go to the market to sell some black eggs and eggs, etc., presumably she must be going out today.

At the same time, she had to scold herself for being old and confused, why didn't she think of this? I was like a fool yesterday, standing all day in vain from morning to night!

Thinking like this, Grandma Chi got up again with excitement, and stood at the entrance of the village early in the morning, waiting for Zhou to come out.

Sure enough, before dawn, Zhou went out with two large baskets of things, but he came out with Chi Xin Chiyue!

Seeing Chi Yue, Grandma Chi immediately hid in the alley like a frightened bird, revealing a pair of thief eyebrows and mouse eyes to peep quietly.

Seeing that Zhou actually got into the carriage with the two girls, Grandma Chi knew that she must be carrying her daughter's carriage to the town by the way, and she would save herself from pushing the cart by herself, which was tiring and troublesome.

Grandma Chi is so frugal that she refuses to spend a penny more to buy a little food that is planted in the field, and she hasn't been to the town market for two months. At this time, in order to be said by Qiao's to be crazy and hungry for the two black chickens that she couldn't do, she decided to take a few more steps and go to the town.

When I arrived at the market, there was a lot of people, and Grandma Chi patrolled all the way, not looking at anything on the stalls, just looking for Zhou's.

In the end, Zhou was found by her.

Zhou set up a stall and sat in the back waiting for passers-by to come and buy it.

The reason why she came early without waiting for dawn was to occupy this fixed stall that she had occupied for a long time, and if she was one step late, she might be unknowingly forcibly occupied.

The first few times, she insisted on pushing a small cart to the town by herself, because the distance between coming to the town and the road to the county seat was very long, and she didn't want her two daughters to delay the time to go to work for her. But this time, it rained a little yesterday and the road was muddy, so Chi Yue and Chi Xin were worried that the cart would be inconvenient, so they insisted on sending her here.

Unable to bear the insistence of the two daughters in unison, Zhou followed them and came here in a carriage.

Thinking that her daughters would help her set up a stall before leaving, her heart was warmer, warmer than the rising sun.

Because black eggs are scarce and slightly more expensive, many people just salivate a few times and then shake their heads and leave. Those who have spare money occasionally buy a few to try out, only some are considered rich, and there are some special circumstances of confinement, so they buy more.

Zhou's stall has been set up here for a long time, and there are some repeat customers, who have made a special trip here to buy her black eggs.

However, in the time of the two pillars of incense, the black eggs were sold out, and most of the eggs on the side were still in the basket.

When Grandma Chi found Zhou's, she happened to see the last bit of black eggs being bought, and she was so angry in her heart!

She still wanted to take a few back by the way, she didn't want Zhou's to sell so quickly. It is also conceivable that the Zhou family only sold black eggs, and made a lot of money. It can be seen that she must have plenty of money.

Grandma Chi was not stupid, she pretended to pass by Zhou's stall, and when she caught a glimpse of her, she pretended to be surprised and said "huh".

"Zhou, why are you here?" Grandma Chi asked.

Zhou didn't expect to meet Grandma Chi in the market, so he quickly stood up and smiled awkwardly at her, "Mother, I took advantage of the crowds in the market to come and sell some eggs." Are you looking for something to buy? ”

Grandma Chi narrowed her eyes more and more coldly, as if she didn't want to talk to Zhou, but she moved her body over, took the small stool that Zhou had just sat on, and sat on it, "I'm tired of walking, I'll rest here with you first." ”

The sharp thing and tone, as if someone had given her a cannonball.

Zhou knew that this was Grandma Chi's usual temperament, so he didn't take it to heart, just smiled, let her occupy her seat, and didn't leave for a long time.

Grandma Chi and Zhou's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law for many years, when she saw Zhou's selling things, she realized that she was not as stupid as she once thought. Selling things with people will talk very much, and the account is not bad, and it will deliberately sell favors to people and reduce the price, until people want to come again next time.

On weekdays, why did Zhou cower in front of her like that, expecting Ai Ai, looking like the mud couldn't support the wall? Could it be that he was deliberately stupid to show her?

After watching it for a long time, seeing that the Zhou family was not so busy at this time, Grandma Chi cleared her throat and didn't look at the Zhou family, and said in a weird manner: "After selling such two baskets of eggs, you probably made a lot of money, right?" ”

mentioned the silver money in front of Grandma Chi, Zhou couldn't help but be a little embarrassed, and it was hard to say that he had already earned three or four taels of silver, so he had to say vaguely, "It's not too much, it's about the same as other egg sellers." ”

Grandma Chi sneered, "Hmph, when I don't know that your basket is carrying black eggs?" Dare to lie to your mother-in-law, you are getting more and more bold. ”
