Chapter 50: Mumbling



Yuan had no idea what was happening at home, and even if she knew, she was too tired to watch the fun.

She, Rabbit, and Apricot did not give up because of the wild boar. Instead, they worked even harder to dig for dandelions and other plants for more than three months. They were busy digging and drying them every day, living like a little top.

It was difficult to save up enough to buy two large sacks, and even after selling the monkey head, it only brought him seventy-eight cents.

A Yuan drooled over the eggs at the market for a long time, whispered to his two little sisters for a long time, and finally bought seven chubby half-grown chicks.

They used the remaining eight cents to buy two candies at a price of one cent each, and the candies were shared among them on the spot. Only Fu Dabai, who had led them there, received a share.

And the chick was taken home by them.

When Yuan and the other two gave the chicks to Grandma Yang, Yuan was particularly reluctant to part with them. He looked at them with reluctance and told Grandma:

"When they grow up, they will lay eggs. Then we must eat the egg custard together! Don't pick at them!

They will grow up quickly and keep laying eggs, so we can have money to buy medicine for Uncle Niu Wa, but don’t forget the egg custard.”

A Yuan reminded her again, fearing that his grandmother would not admit it.

Old Mrs. Yang's face, which had been tense because of anger, now relaxed and she nodded and agreed to her request.

But Yuan was reluctant to give all of them to his grandmother, so he took two and gave them to Xingzi, asking her to take them to Niu Wa and Fourth Uncle.

A Yuan felt that if she was injured, she would be much happier if there was a little chicken by her side.

Xingzi thought so too. Tuzi wanted to say something but held it back. He didn't have the heart to ruin his two sisters' beautiful thoughts.

But after a while, Xingzi sent the two chicks back speechlessly, and told Yuan with some sadness:

"They pulled it on my dad and Niu Wa."

A Yuan scratched his head:

"Are they feeling better?"

Xingzi looked at Yuan with a dim gaze:

"They really weren't too sad, but they were very angry. They said they would beat me up when they got better..."

A Yuan timidly sent the two chicks back to the chicken coop he had just cleaned up, not wanting to admit that he had come up with another bad idea.

After settling the chicks and feeding them again with some vegetable leaves, Yuan belatedly realized that something seemed to have happened at home again.

"My second aunt seems to be crying?" Yuan and his sisters squatted in front of the chicken coop. He blinked and listened carefully, then nodded affirmatively, "Yes! It's my second aunt who is crying!"

The rabbit rolled his eyes and said:

"She must have gotten into trouble again!"

Xingzi said angrily, "She deserves it. Who made her so mean? She even went out and said bad things about my mother. She must have done something bad again."

The tiger-headed creature that had appeared here at some point in the past moved closer to them.

Hu Nao whispered, "If you had come back earlier, you would have heard it. Second aunt sold the Lingzhi and refused to pay the money to the public. She also said she wanted to divide the family. Grandma beat her up and told her to get out."

Hu Tou added: "Grandma was so angry that she didn't even close the door and scolded her in the yard."

Yuan scratched his head: "Is Lingzhi valuable?"

A Yuan has been a little unhappy recently. She picked the monkey head, but no one said she was lucky, and no one even wanted to take a look. But Fu Bao picked the Ganoderma lucidum, and even her parents said she was lucky.

They are all mushrooms, so why are we dividing them into high and low quality?

"You don't know this?" Hu Nao looked at A Yuan in surprise, then said to A Yuan in a somewhat boastful manner, "I know everything. My mother said that Ganoderma lucidum is very valuable, and it must be worth dozens of coins!"

Ah Yuan looked at him blankly, not understanding what the difference was between Lingzhi and her monkey head? ?

Rabbit rolled his eyes at Fourth Brother and said, "What nonsense are you talking about? That's Ganoderma lucidum, you think it's monkey head. When mom said several dozen, she meant several dozen taels. Why do you only listen to half of what she said?"

A Yuan frowned, feeling sad: What's wrong with the monkey head? The monkey head is also valuable!

"Is it several dozen taels? Why do I remember it was in cents?" Tiger Brain looked at Tiger Head.

Hu Tou shook his head and told him: "It's really several dozen taels."

"Wow~" After getting the confirmation, Hu Nao and A Yuan both let out ignorant exclamations at the same time.

A Yuan's indescribable envy suddenly came out again. Thinking of his own pitiful few dozen coins, he felt indescribably lost.

The money Fubao gave the family was enough to buy many roosters and hens, but her money...

Yuan looked at the chicks in the chicken coop and his face turned red. He suddenly understood what the adults meant by "not presentable enough".

Rabbit didn't think so. He rolled his eyes and said, "They won't be happy to hand over the money to the government."

Xingzi nodded: "My mother said that half of the money they earn from their family will be kept for their own use!"

It was no secret in the entire Lao Fu family that the second wife had hidden away her private property.

Yuan thought about it and felt that this made sense.

But Hu Tou said, "They will definitely pay it, because grandma said that even if they split up, they can't take the money away."

Hu Nao said: "But my mother said that even if they pay, they won't pay all of it. I just don't know how much they will pay."

Yuan felt that this made sense. He looked over at his grandmother's gloomy face and whispered:

"Anyway, I think if I pay too little, grandma will definitely be very angry this time."

Everyone looked at Old Mrs. Yang and turned their heads away with sympathy.

Yuan and everyone else persuaded each other: "In short, we must be good!"

We must not let this fire burn these innocent people!

Everyone shook hands and quietly dispersed, some of them were very diligent in helping the adults with work, and their diligent parents frowned when they saw them:

What the hell is this?
