Chapter 57 Dashi Village is Crazy

The Huang family doesn't care whether others are angry or not, they only care about whether it is profitable or not.

In the main hall of the Huang family, a young girl in flowered clothes asked the thin man sitting in the main seat with a puzzled look on her face.

"Dad, why did you send someone to pick that thing when you have nothing to do?"

Huang Youcai looked at his daughter with a doting look on his face: "You don't understand this. If we don't pick the prickly ash eggs, we'll make money, and then we'll let others have a free ride!"

"Your father was right. If you don't take advantage of an opportunity, you're a bastard!"

After saying this, he looked at Huang Youcai with a proud look on his face, thinking that his old man was really awesome!

Huang Lili pouted: "How much money can it have? I don't know what to do with this ugly thing."

Huang Youcai ate a piece of dessert and snapped his fingers: "Who cares? Just give him the money!"

The skinny old woman Huang also wanted to take the cake, but Huang Youcai slapped her away without even looking up: "You've already eaten one piece."

Old Mrs. Huang's eyes flashed, and she withdrew her hand awkwardly without saying anything, smacking her lips and looking at the cake on the plate.

The eldest daughter-in-law, Ma, felt disgusted when she saw them doing this again. She then looked at her sister-in-law, who was used to it, and felt very upset as well.

She really regretted marrying into the Huang family. She had thought that the Huang family was a landlord and that they would be able to make some money to support her mother's family. However, it turned out that she did not support her mother's family at all. It was a great achievement for her that she did not have to support her mother. The stingy people in this family were even more stingy than her mother.

"Mom, I want to eat cakes!" shouted Ma's son Huang Zhuang.

Huang Youcai saw that it was his eldest grandson who wanted to eat it, so he took a piece and broke it open with great concern, then smiled and waved to him, "My dear grandson Zhuangzhuang wants to eat it, grandpa doesn't feel bad, eat it!"

After saying that, he stood up and put the pastries into his room.

Ma was disgusted by what she saw. He dared to give it to her son, but she didn't dare to ask her son to eat it.

She awkwardly held the small piece of mung bean cake and coaxed her son: "Zhuangzhuang, let's go inside and eat. Show your father the cake that grandpa gave you!"

Without waiting for her son to react, Ma said something to her father-in-law, then picked up her son and went back to the house.

Huang Lili looked at Ma's back, sneered, and turned back to the house.

As soon as Ma entered the room, she threw the cakes at Huang Qiang who was lying on the bed.

"Look at what your father has done. He gave a piece of cake that had changed color to Zhuangzhuang to eat, and he was so stingy that he broke it in half. I really don't know what he was thinking!"

Huang Qiang disagreed: "He's always like this, what's so strange about it?"

Upon hearing this, Ma became angry: "So when you married me, you pretended to be generous and generous, but it was all a lie. Your family is a marriage fraud."

Huang Qiang was not angry after hearing this. After all, his family was a scam. He smiled and said:

"Alright, alright, my dad will have someone arrange to collect the thorn eggs, and I'll squeeze some profit out of them then."

Ma felt better after hearing this and asked calmly, "Do you know why you collected this thing?"

"Who knows, maybe he's stupid!" Huang Qiang said lazily.

Ma looked at him sideways, cursing Huang Qiang in her heart for being a fool. Who would spend money to buy this for fun?

Seeing him like this, Ma knew that Huang Qiang was a fool and couldn't figure it out, so she turned around and went out with the child.

She had to find someone to go back and inform her parents. She couldn't miss out on this good thing. As the saying goes, if you don't take advantage of a good opportunity, you're a bastard.

She hurried out to find someone to take the letter home.

The villagers on the mountain of Dashi Village were very angry and kept staring at the head worker of Huang's family who came to pick the thorn eggs.

They hate the Huang family more than the villagers of Xiaoshi Village.

"The Huang family is so rich, yet they still compete with us!" said an old lady hatefully.

"It's not right for people from Xiaoshi Village to come here, but we can understand that they are just making trouble because of poverty. The Huang family is so rich, but they still do this. They are really shameless!" An old lady cursed while peeling thorny eggshells.

"Hey, you don't know the Huang family yet. If they didn't live at the entrance of the village, they would have run away even faster. His second son is already 15 years old, and he still doesn't get married. It's his due!" Another old lady said gloatingly.

"I've already told my sisters-in-law from my mother's family to be careful with the girls in their village who are about to get married."

A young woman also came over and joined in their conversation.

"There's still a young man waiting to be married, as for that girl from the Huang family, tsk tsk, I think it's going to be pretty tough!"

The old lady looked around and whispered, "I heard that the daughter of the Huang family is engaged to the son of Mr. Xie from Xiaoshi Village?"

Everyone was shocked: "Who told you that?"

"I also heard it from a sister-in-law who used to work for the Huang family. She saw Xie Huang go to their house to discuss this matter. It seems that they even agreed on a gift money of 20 taels!"

"I think it's nonsense. How can the Huang family be willing to give 20 taels?" An old lady didn't believe it.

Another aunt thought there was a chance: "I've seen Mr. Xie's son, he's very handsome, and he's also very knowledgeable. 20 taels is not impossible!"

She added, "Don't forget her stepmother's last name is Huang!"

"Xie Xiaoxiucai and that Huang Shi have already severed their relationship. What's the point of saying something without any evidence?"

The auntie looked down on the Huang family and thought it was a rumor.

Another aunt tried to smooth things over: "That's right, let's not spread this around, lest it ruin the reputation of the young scholar. The Huang family is not worthy of such a good person!"

Everyone thought this was a good idea and nodded, but they ignored Wei Changfeng who was quietly peeling thorny eggs in the corner.

It was getting late, so everyone packed up the peeled prickly ash eggs and prepared to take a donkey cart to Xiaoshi Village.

The donkey cart was filled with women from Dashi Village, except for a thin young man named Wei Changfeng. An aunt looked at him and asked, "How's your mother?"

"Much better, auntie."

"It's not easy for your mother to raise you, you must be filial to her!"

Wei Changfeng smiled and said, "I will, aunt."

Another aunt also knew him: "I remember you used to go to Mr. Xie's house often, didn't you?"

Wei Changfeng nodded: "Thank you, scholar, for your guidance on my poetry."

"Oh, that's what I thought. So you know Mr. Xie's son?" The aunt looked at him expectantly.

"Oh, that's easy. I just heard from someone from Xiaoshi Village that the one who collected the thorn eggs was actually Xie Xiaoxiucai, and the Wang family was helping him collect them!"

Wei Changfeng was stunned: "Isn't it the village chief who collected it?"

"You don't know? Don't you know each other?" the aunt asked in confusion.

"I haven't seen him for a long time."

When the aunt saw this situation, she nodded without saying anything. She was thinking that if she went to an acquaintance, she might be able to get a good price, but it seemed that she couldn't rely on that.

No one spoke along the way, and Wei Changfeng sat there blankly, not knowing what he was thinking.

We arrived at Xiaoshi Village in a short while.

The people of Xiaoshi Village saw from afar that people were driving donkey carts and mule carts towards their village, and they were instantly shocked. The last time Wang Yun came back was when he brought so many people with him.

But Wang Yun is in the village, who is this?

Many people in Xiaoshi Village knew people in Dashi Village. When they saw that they were acquaintances, they asked and found out that it was the people in Dashi Village who picked the prickly ash eggs and asked the village chief to collect them.

Cui was arranging to send the prickly ash eggs to Xie Shuangbai at home when someone came to the door and called her to say that many people from Dashi Village came to sell prickly ash eggs.

Cui was startled and rushed to see what she saw.

She murmured: "This...this Dashi Village has gone crazy."

After saying that, he quickly ran to Xie's house to find Xie Shuangbai.
