"No, we'll go with you to get it now. I know you live in Zhoujia Village, and you can't run away even if you want to." Xiao Fang said with a straight face.

What fifty? It's one hundred and fifty.

Xiao Fang didn't say anything now because he didn't want Ding Ermei, the "fat sheep", to start a quarrel at the door of the police station.

Xiao Fang's tricks can only fool ignorant rural women like Ding Ermei, but they cannot fool the police.

If Ding Ermei starts making a fuss, Xiao Fang will definitely end up with nothing.

"Okay, okay, if you are not afraid of the long and difficult journey, just come with me!" Ding Ermei had no choice but to agree.

Ding Ermei and her group met Zhou Jiaxiang at the entrance of the village.

"Jiaxiang, are you here to pick me up? You are such a good grandson of yours." Ding Ermei hugged Zhou Jiaxiang, and her wrinkled face was full of smiles like a flower.

Zhou Jiaxiang twisted his body with a look of resistance on his face.

He didn't come to the village entrance to pick up his grandma. He was going to the town and just happened to walk here.

"Old lady, is this your grandson?" Xiao Fang looked at Zhou Jiaxiang.

Xiao Fang smelled the scent of a "kindred spirit" from Zhou Jiaxiang.

Look at this kid, his eyes are darting around. He is obviously a good candidate for this line of work.

Xiao Fang decided that after he got the money, he would bring Zhou Jiaxiang back to show his boss. Maybe he could even develop a "little brother" out of him.

"This is my eldest grandson, Zhou Jiaxiang. Comrade Fang, my Jiaxiang is very smart! Nine out of ten people who have met him praise him for his cleverness." Ding Ermei showed off her eldest grandson with a smile on her face.

"Well, he does look quite smart." Xiao Fang said perfunctorily.

"Jiaxiang, let's go home. Grandma will make you egg custard." Ding Ermei took Zhou Jiaxiang's hand and walked towards home.

These days, Ding Ermei was detained in the police station. After thinking about it, she felt that she shouldn't have gotten angry at Zhou Jiaxiang that day.

Zhou Jiaxiang is still a child, so it is normal for him to be greedy.

Seeing Zhou Jiaxiang now, Ding Ermei really wanted to make something delicious to compensate Zhou Jiaxiang.

"Grandma, I still have things to do! You go back by yourself." Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhou Jiaxiang quickly broke free from Ding Ermei's hand and ran towards Taohua Town.

Zhou Jiaxiang had eaten egg custard twice in the past few days, but it no longer appealed to him. He wanted to eat pork elbow and chicken drumstick.

Today is another market day.

Before Zhou Jiaxiang went home yesterday afternoon, he made an appointment with Liang Xiaobao to do something big on the street today.

As long as he does a good job, the boss Cao Laoliu will definitely treat him to a big chicken leg again.

"Hey! Jiaxiang, run slower, don't fall." Ding Ermei shouted anxiously.

Zhou Jiaxiang ran away without even looking back.

"This kid must have something urgent to do. He didn't even want to eat the egg custard. Jiaxiang is usually very filial. He does whatever I ask him to do." Ding Ermei smiled awkwardly at Xiaofang and the others and said.

Xiao Fang curled the corners of his mouth and said nothing.

He followed Ding Ermei to get the money, but he was not responsible for the supporting role.

Aunt Zhang was carrying a load of manure and was about to apply it to the fields.

Seeing Ding Ermei, Aunt Zhang put down her load and greeted her, "Grandma Jiaxiang, you're back?"

"Chunhua, did you help me sell all the vegetables that day? How much did you get in total?" Ding Ermei asked, pinching her nose.

Xiao Fang and the others also pinched their noses and moved aside.

"One dollar and sixty-five cents. I'll give it to your husband when I get back the same day." Aunt Zhang said.

"Only one dollar and sixty-five cents? I took more than fifty kilograms of vegetables that day, five cents a bunch, and a bunch is about one kilogram. It should be two dollars and fifty cents!" Ding Ermei pulled a long face and looked unhappy.

"Why don't you tell me that your vegetables are full of mud and yellow leaves? If Qiuju and I hadn't washed, picked and re-bundled the vegetables, you wouldn't be able to sell them for even 65 cents, let alone 1.65 yuan. You could only wait until they were wilted and feed them to the pigs." Aunt Zhang rolled her eyes at Ding Ermei and said unhappily.

At the last market, Aunt Zhang stood on the street until after four in the afternoon in order to help Ding Ermei sell vegetables.

Unexpectedly, Ding Ermei was not only ungrateful, but also complained that Aunt Zhang sold her products for too little money.

"Why are you talking like that? I'm just asking you one thing, you didn't take my money, so why are you giving me such a cold face?" The more Ding Ermei spoke, the more she felt that she was right.

Aunt Zhang gave her a cold look, she must have something to hide.

"I'm too lazy to talk to you. Next time I help you, I'll be a dog." Aunt Zhang picked up the burden and turned to leave.

If she had this much free time, she might as well go to the fields and do more work. Talking to Ding Ermei was just looking for trouble.

"Hey! Don't go!" Ding Ermei still wanted to chat with Aunt Zhang.

"If you make any more noise, I'll throw manure at you. You don't understand anything. Do you think everyone will pamper you?" Aunt Zhang picked up the manure shovel hanging on one end of the carrying pole and threatened.

Ding Ermei was so scared that she stepped back repeatedly.

In rural areas, if someone throws feces on you, you will be unlucky for the whole year.

She has been unlucky enough this year and doesn't want to be even more unlucky.

Aunt Zhang left without looking back.

Originally, Aunt Zhang saw Xiao Fang and a few other hooligans following Ding Ermei, and wanted to ask Ding Ermei if she needed any help.

Now?

Aunt Zhang didn't care whether Ding Ermei was dead or alive.

"This Zhang Chunhua must be hiding something, right? She sold the $2.50 dish for me for only $1.65, and she embezzled almost a dollar from me. She has a really evil heart!" Ding Ermei couldn't help but complain to Xiao Fang.

Xiao Fang rolled his eyes toward the sky.

This stupid woman is such an ungrateful person. If I cheat her, I can be considered as doing justice for the heaven.

Thinking of this, Xiao Fang suddenly felt much more at ease.

Ding Ermei didn't want Xiao Fang to talk to her. She just kept nagging to cover up the uneasiness in her heart.

As the door of her home was right in front of her, Ding Ermei's mind kept flashing with Zhou Fugui's furious face and the ferocity with which he beat people.

"Why don't you leave?" Xiao Fang couldn't help but ask when he saw Ding Ermei stopped.

"This is my home. You wait here for a moment. I'll go in to get the money and come out soon." Ding Ermei said with a wry smile.

Xiao Fang and the others exchanged glances.

"Okay, one hundred and fifty, hurry up." Xiao Fang patted the IOU in his hand and said.

They had already arrived at Ding Ermei's home. Xiao Fang and the others were not afraid that Ding Ermei might run away, so they naturally told her their true intentions.

"What? Didn't you say fifty? How come it became one hundred and fifty?" Ding Ermei was dumbfounded.

"Who said fifty? It's one hundred and fifty." Xiao Wu quickly spoke up to help Xiao Fang.

"I heard it, it's one hundred and fifty, that's right." Xiao Yuan also said so.

"That's not right! I heard the number was fifty that day, I couldn't have heard it wrong." Ding Ermei was so anxious that she was spinning around.

Ding Ermei had only a little over two hundred yuan in her hand. After giving Xiao Fang and the others fifteen hundred, Ding Ermei was left with only a few dozen yuan.

If she had known it would cost one hundred and fifty yuan, Ding Ermei would rather starve... No, no, no, Ding Ermei absolutely does not want to starve to death, but being locked up in there for a few more days is okay.
