Chapter 45: Scoundrels

When Yuan Ning returned home, he still gave the scattered money to Zhong Ling for safekeeping, and kept the whole money for himself.

After careful calculation, in fact, the silver in his hand now has exceeded forty taels, not counting the one hundred taels given by Su Heting.

But this money can't be spent all, buying land needs to be spent, buying seeds, hiring people to farm, and taking care of it all cost money, and she needs to plan carefully.

Even if it was family expenses, the money she gave Zhong Ling was not enough.

Fortunately, in a few days, the ramie in the field can be harvested again.

After resting for the night, Yuan Ning took Bo Zhong to pick all the remaining fruits on the tree and made two baskets.

They kept one basket of these two baskets for themselves, and the remaining basket was divided into one and one even, and sent some to the old patriarch's family, and Li Zheng's family also sent some.

Especially in Lizheng's house, Yuanning also prepared two fruits with "auspicious" and "auspicious" patterns.

Zhang Dashan was very happy after receiving the fruit, and asked his family to pack two handfuls of peanuts for them, "We don't have anything to give you, this is all grown in our own field, you can take it and eat it." ”

The old patriarch's family also gave them a bowl of beans, knowing that they did not grow autumn grain.

went to Aunt Zhu's house, and it happened that she was not there, but Uncle Zhu was there.

Third Uncle Zhu picked his teeth with a thin straw, squinted his eyes and sneered: "Is this making money?" Are you willing to give fruit to others? ”

"We are grateful to the third aunt for helping us make clothes," Yuan Ning said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "If the third uncle is not rare, we can take it back, it just so happens that we don't have much left, and we are afraid that we will not have enough to eat!" ”

Without waiting for Uncle Zhu to react, he took his younger brother and strode away.

Zhu San is a person who likes to take advantage of the most, how can he let people take the fruits that he sent to his house like this, and hurriedly chased them out.

Who knew that Yuan Ning was full of thoughts, and had already handed the basket to his neighbor Aunt Zhao Liu. This Aunt Zhao has a good heart, she is the one who often teaches Zhong Ling needlework.

Yuan Ning took his younger brother out to give gifts in the morning, and saw her, and told her that please don't mind, gifts always need to start from the clan.

Aunt Zhao also praised her for being sensible.

At this moment, Yuan Ning stuffed the basket into Aunt Zhao's hand and whispered, "Aunt Six, Third Uncle Zhu wants to rob us of something!" I'll just say I'll send you, you can do me a favor! ”

While clasping his hands together and praying with his face.

Bo Zhong naturally has the same example.

Aunt Zhao Liuyu held them behind her, put the basket on her arm, and faced Zhu San, who was chasing after her.

Zhu San looked left and right, and saw the two children hiding behind Aunt Zhao Liu, and immediately stretched out his finger and shouted, "Give me my fruit!" ”

Aunt Zhao Liu sneered: "Zhu San, who are you playing with?" ”

"Not at you anyway!" Zhu San waved his hand, "You let these two little cubs come out!" ”

Aunt Zhao's face turned cold, "You cultivate your mouth and cultivate your morality!" They are of the same clan as you, they are little cubs, what are you? What is a mother's child? ”

Zhu San raised his eyebrows, "Stinky woman, what does this have to do with you?" You've got an extra breath of air in your nose and eyes! ”

Aunt Zhao Liujiao firmly protected the two children behind her, and said lightly: "Just because we are neighbors!" As the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, I can't watch these two poor children being bullied and still keep silent, right?

"I'm not like some people, I wear a human skin, I just don't do human things!"

"You mother-in-law, who are you scolding?" Zhu San rolled up his sleeves and waved his fist at Aunt Zhao Liu.

Aunt Zhao Liujiao stuffed the basket to Yuan Ning, and slowly and methodically, she also rolled up her sleeves, "Whoever admits it is scolding!" ”

Zhu San rushed to him, and his fist was about to be clubbed into Aunt Zhao Liu's face, "Don't think that Lao Tzu doesn't beat women!" ”

"My old man has been dead for seven or eight years," Aunt Zhao said coldly, "Could it be that this is a fraudulent corpse?" ”

Yuan Ning couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh, why didn't he find that Aunt Zhao Liu's mouth was so powerful before?

"Pretending to be someone else's Lao Tzu," Aunt Zhao still refused to give up, "Is it so proud?" Although my son is gone, I still have three brothers, four brothers, and more than a dozen nephews and nieces. ”

Zhu San suddenly remembered when he heard this, Aunt Zhao Liu's mother's family is really a lot, not only that, but their family doesn't know what luck they have taken, as long as the daughter-in-law is pregnant, the first child must be a male baby, and some of the first children are all sons, and daughters are the rarest on their side.

There are more men, and the family is stronger.

After Aunt Zhao Liu's marriage, she also gave birth to three sons to Uncle Zhao Liu, and also died a young son, the only regret is that she has no daughter, so she will take care of Yuan Ning and Zhong Ling a lot.

Uncle Zhao is also a strong man, and his popularity in the village is not bad on weekdays, unlike Zhu San, who is greedy and lazy, and his family is supported by Aunt Zhu San.

Thinking of this, Zhu San felt a little numb in his scalp, and retracted his hand a little sneeringly, "I'm a big man, don't worry about you as a girl, hurry up and give me my fruit, forget it!" ”

"You forget it, I don't want to count it yet!" Aunt Zhao Liudu didn't let anyone, "Who called your fruit?" Is it your name on it or what? ”

"It was given to me by two little cubs!" Zhu San shouted.

"Huh!" Aunt Zhao Liu sneered again and again, "With your virtue, why should people give you gifts?" I said they gave it to me! She raised her arm, "They sent it to me with their own hands, and no one saw that it was delivered to you!" ”

"Why didn't you give me a gift?" Zhu San was anxious, and stretched out his hand to point at the Yuanning sisters and brothers, "These two little cubs clearly carried baskets into my house!" ”

Aunt Zhao Liuchong gradually gathered around the villagers who came to watch the excitement and said: "Folks, who said that people carry baskets into your house to give gifts?" According to you, I will take our chickens to your house for a spin, or will I give you chickens? Can't it be to borrow a knife? ”

The villagers pointed and discussed, and most of them accused Zhu San of being shameless.

Aunt Zhao finally pointed to the center of the problem: "Don't you just rely on the fact that these two children are young and have no father or mother, so you dare to bully them like this?" ”

Some people who watched the excitement shouted: "Zhu San, you cultivate virtue!" Not for this life, but also for the next! Beware of doing too many bad things, and being reincarnated as a beast in the next life! ”

Zhu San was immediately annoyed, and rushed over to see the real chapter with other people's fists.

Aunt Zhao took the opportunity to pull the two siblings away.

Yuan Ning, who watched a big drama for free, was satisfied.

Back at the door of the house, Aunt Zhao Liuyu wanted to return the basket to them, Yuan Ning smiled and said, "I'll follow you over, you leave the fruit, and I'll take the basket back." Originally, it was also meant to be sent to you, but isn't it the same in the morning and late? ”

Aunt Zhao Liu touched her head, "Good boy, it's really not easy for you to ......"
