Li Qiuyue looked at the two aggressive kids, feeling angry and amused at the same time, and said to Cai Xiaomin, "Whose kid is he? Tell him not to steal things!"

"From the Long family!" Cai Xiaomin walked back with his head down. He also didn't like the youngest child of the Long family, who was dirty and wanted to snatch everything he saw.

Li Qiuyue thought of the family with the surname Long in the village and asked, "Your stepfather's nephew?"

"Yeah!" Cai Xiaomin nodded without turning her head.

"I'll go back and call my grandma, and she'll beat you to death!" The snotty kid covered his ears that were hurt by being pulled, uttered a cruel word, and ran towards Wang Chunhua's house crying.

Yang Chunyan ran out of the yard and saw Li Qiuyue walking towards them with two little ones with tears on their faces. "What's wrong?"

"The bad guys stole the car!" Xiao Jiuer pulled her hand aggrievedly and pointed in the direction where the snotty kid ran away.

Zhou Xiaolin babble on and on as she accused the snotty kid of his crimes, and his little hair, which was about to be torn apart, swayed back and forth as she gestured.

Yang Chunyan rubbed her head. "Your hair is all torn apart. Does your scalp hurt?"

"It doesn't hurt!" Zhou Xiaolin raised her hand and rubbed her head. "As soon as he grabbed me, Cai Xiaomin helped me pull it out. When he let me go, I grabbed his ear."

"You're right. Brothers and sisters must unite so that outsiders won't dare to bully you!" Li Qiuyue pulled her over and helped her to start over. "Cai Xiaomin is great. You saved him and you still know how to help..."

"Let me see which uneducated person caught him?" A high-pitched curse from an old woman came over.

"Mom, Auntie, the snotty kid is calling his grandma!"

The snotty kid pointed at Zhou Xiaolin who was tying her hair in front of him and said, "She was the one who grabbed it."

Yang Chunyan and Li Qiuyue turned their heads and saw an old woman with gray hair leading a child of five or six years old, walking towards them quickly and aggressively. Then Wang Chunhua ran out and grabbed her.

"Xiao Min said that it was Xiao Gui who first snatched Xiao Jiu'er's toy car and pushed him down. Xiao Lin came to help, but he pulled his hair..."

When Mrs. Long saw that she was speaking for an outsider, her face darkened instantly. "What did Xiaogui steal from him?" She picked up the snotty kid's hand and said, "Look,

There were several bite marks on his hands and several bloody scratches on his face. What should I do if my face is disfigured? Xiaogui is your nephew. If you don’t help him, you will help others…”

"I don't have such a nephew. You'd better understand that I'm looking for a son-in-law to live with me, not to marry him to your family!" Wang Chunhua couldn't help but get angry when she thought of the past two months.

Why is the man Ye Xiaoshuang recruited so honest? Every time the man's family came, they came during the busy farming season and returned to the mountains immediately after work.

This guy has only been in the family for more than two months, and already a bunch of people have come to our house to ask for money. The old woman brought her kid and stayed there and refused to leave. Not only did she keep giving orders, but she also acted like she was senior.

My mother, her husband, and my sister-in-law all said that if she continued like this, the house they had worked so hard to build for her would become Long's family in the future.

"You!" Grandma Long cried, "Well, the son I raised with so much effort..."

"If you can't bear to part with Long Lao Si, then let him go back to the mountains with you!" Wang Chunhua's face was gloomy and she was furious. "I can't afford to serve someone like you, so get out of here right now!"

Long Pozi was so frightened by her that she immediately stopped crying and looked at her with blinking eyes, "You..."

"Are you leaving or not? If not, I'll go back and call my brothers to chase you away!" Wang Chunhua said without paying any attention to her, turned around and walked back.

Seeing this, Granny Long hurriedly pulled the dumbfounded Snotlout to follow her, "Chunhua, if you said you won't look for them, then don't look for them. Don't chase us away..."

Yang Chunyan, who originally thought she would have to spend some time talking, was stunned for a moment by the sudden turn of events and said, "Sister Wang is still sensible."

"How can you not understand the situation? If you hadn't found a way to make Cai Xiaomin vomit, that kid would have suffered greatly!" Li Qiuyue said, turning her head to ask Ma Chunhua who was standing at the gate, "Sister Ma, who is that woman?"

"Wang Chunhua's new mother-in-law!" Ma Chunhua pouted, "Last week, more than a dozen people from Long Laosi's family came to stay at Wang's house for two or three days before leaving. The damn old woman and her kid are staying here and won't leave.

A few days ago, they stole vegetables from Ye Laoyao's house. Wang Chunhua was so angry that she returned the vegetables to Ye Laoyao. These days, I don't even dare to go to your house to watch TV, for fear that the dead woman has dirty hands. Now, Wang Chunhua wants to drive them away. "

Li Qiuyue nodded. "It's better to drive away people like this who have dirty hands and feet as soon as possible, otherwise I won't be able to rest assured when I go out in the future."

"What are you afraid of? We have the dog here!" Ma Chunhua looked at Yang Chunyan, "Is the market about to open?"

"Yes! It snowed heavily on the fifth of November, so the market will open on the sixth!"

"There are still six or seven days left!" Ma Chunhua thought, "Last year we had a lot of truffles, but I don't know what will happen this year."

Li Qiuyue: "There were quite a lot last year! Many people said that the New Year is coming, so this year won't be a small New Year, right?"

“Pah, pah, pah!” Ma Chunhua rolled her eyes at her in reproach. “Only pears and peaches have good and bad years, but truffles don’t!”

Country people say that the term "big year" refers to some crops. A year with high yield is called a big year, and a year with low yield is called a small year.

Li Qiuyue spread her hands and said, "I don't want it to exist either, but if it does, there's nothing we can do!"

Yang Chunyan nodded and said, "I heard from some elders last year that it was a good year for truffles. If the production is really going to decrease this year, there is nothing we can do about it."

"Yes, it all depends on the weather. We'll take whatever God gives us!"

After they stood there and talked for a while, they saw Wang Chunhua and her live-in son-in-law seeing off Mrs. Long and Snotty Kid and walking towards Tiankan Road.

Ten minutes later, Wang Chunhua came back alone. Ma Chunhua grabbed her with a gossipy look on her face and asked, "Old Wang, did you chase Long Laosi away?"

Wang Chunhua shook her head in annoyance. "I told him that if he can't control his family from coming to me for money, it would be better for me to end the relationship with him as soon as possible to avoid trouble in the future."

"What did he say?" The three women looked at her with gossipy eyes.

"He agreed, saying that he would send the old woman back and explain to them clearly, and told them not to come again in the future." Wang Chunhua said to Yang Chunyan's sister-in-law embarrassedly, "Xiao Min told me that it was his kid who was wrong. Xiao Jiuer and Xiao Lin were not hurt, right?"

Yang Chunyan looked at the little guy who was trying hard to slide the toy car with his butt sticking out, "No!"

Ma Chunhua sneered, "It's inevitable that children don't fight. Today they swear to never have anything to do with each other again, and tomorrow they squeeze together to play. Only her child is so precious!"

"Of course not. In my family, even my Xiao Min has to give in to him. I wanted to drive them away a long time ago." Wang Chunhua sighed, "Ye Xiaoshuang is really good at training men. In the past, Cai Ermei protected her like a dog, and the men she married also protected her very much."

Li Qiuyue asked curiously, "Are you not angry with Ye Xiaoshuang now?"

"What's the point of getting angry!" Wang Chunhua sighed, "As the old saying goes, it takes two to tango. If Cai Ermei was a good person, she wouldn't have done such a thing and wouldn't be in jail."

Ma Chunhua: "It's better for him to run away. If he stays at home, your life will be worse than it is now."

Wang Chunhua was still angry when she thought about the past. "Of course not. When he was at home, he was like a big boss, working hard and not even helping when the broom fell over. You had to serve him like a big boss."

Li Qiuyue smiled and said, "Who should I blame? It's because you have a good temper and spoil him!"

Ma Chunhua nodded repeatedly, "Qiuyue is right, men are cheap skins. The better you treat him, the more he will look down on you. Old Wang, you have to learn your lesson. Don't be the same as before when Long Laosi comes back."

"You are the only one who can do this. If you have nothing else to do, why don't you discuss how to deal with me?" Lin Wu came out of the house and rolled his eyes at her. "You have taught Chunyan bad things. The youngest one will scold you to death."

"He is so annoying. He interrupts a group of women when they are talking!" Ma Chunhua glared at him. "What did I teach Chunyan?"

Yang Chunyan laughed awkwardly: "We were just chatting, let's go home and cook!"

After lunch, Zhou Huaian went to Secretary Xu and Zhou Datian's homes respectively and repeated Wang Zhen's words to them. Secretary Xu still insisted on following them without hesitation.

When Zhou Datian heard him say that it would cost two or three hundred thousand just to buy imported equipment, and that he would also have to buy land in the city to build a factory... he felt that the investment was too much, and told Zhou Huaian that instead of taking risks to do something big, it would be better to do the business of collecting truffles and mushrooms steadily.

Zhou Huaian told him that the amount of mountain products he would sell would increase in the future. If he didn't find a new way to make a breakthrough, he would have to rely on his old capital.

After hearing this, Zhou Datian felt that the risk was too great and was worried about losing money. After hesitating for a long time, he still couldn't make up his mind and decided to discuss it with He Hongxiu first.

Zhou Huaian didn't care. He felt that since it was a business that both Yang Chunyan and Wang Zhen were optimistic about, even if it was a little difficult in the early stages, it would definitely not be a wrong move in the future.

The next day, Zhou Datian came to tell him that the brigade's houses would be sold and invested in a pickle factory. Their family had a share of the money and they would be able to get dividends in the future. In addition, they had also invested some money in the power station, so they would not take the risk of investing money in the pickle factory separately.

He also advised Zhou Huaian that your aunt said that every household can make bean paste, chili sauce, and pickled cowpeas, and they can be eaten for a year, so no one will spend money to buy them.

If you really want to do it, it is best to buy a set of old equipment and set up the factory in the brigade. Even if you make a loss, it will not be much.

Zhou Huaian knew that he had good intentions, so he didn't blame him for saying such discouraging words. After seeing him off, he went into the house and said to Yang Chunyan, "Compared to Uncle Datian and Uncle Xu, your knowledge and courage are a little less."

Yang Chunyan covered her son with a small quilt and took him to the main room. "Uncle Xu has Second Uncle Xu here. What he hears and sees are different."

"Even Uncle Datian doesn't dare to invest money in it. I think it's better for you not to tell Xiaoxue, lest you fail to make money in the future and lose your sisters."

"Wait until Wang Zhen has decided on the equipment and land, and figures out how much one share costs, then I'll go ask her. It's up to her whether to invest or not, and that's all I have to say!"

"Okay, you decide. I have to help haul the coal."

"Yes!" Yang Chunyan handed him her hat and gloves, and waited until he left before scooping up dried Jerusalem artichokes to cook pig food. (End of this chapter)
