Chapter 78: Apricot Stealing Incident



Everyone gathered around the harvester, watching and talking with great interest, praising the machine, and many people were jealous.

So Liu Junyi couldn't help but ask: "Zhou Bin, this machine is really good. How much does it cost to buy all this wheat from your family?"

Zhou Bin smiled and stretched out four fingers, and Liu Junyi couldn't help but gasp.

"Oh my god! This is too expensive!" Liu Junyi said in surprise.

When Zhou Jianming heard this, he immediately asked in surprise: "How much? Forty? Oh, why is it so expensive!"

Zhou Bin said disapprovingly: "We want eight acres of land, and they are already giving us a bargain."

"Oh, this is too expensive. Let's not let it harvest the wheat next time." Zhou Jianming muttered.

The others were looking at Zhou Bin with anticipation, but when they heard the price, they all fell silent.

Forty yuan is equivalent to their monthly income, they can't afford it.

As everyone was talking, the machines in the field stopped.

Zhou Bin hurried forward to inquire about the situation. Liu Jincheng smiled and said, "The iron bucket is almost full. Come and fill it with wheat and take it home."

Zhou Bin hurriedly drove a tricycle and used bags to catch the wheat under an iron pipe. Soon the bag was full, so he tied the bag and carried it onto the tricycle.

Aniu, Li Jun and Wang Haichao all came to help, and soon all the wheat in the iron bucket was filled.

Zhou Bin drove a tricycle with his father to pull the wheat back home, while the harvester continued to harvest.

In this way, the wheat in this area was harvested and then replaced by another three-acre field of wheat.

Three hours later, all the land was harvested.

Zhou Bin specially invited Liu Jincheng to have a meal at his home, gave him a box of cigarettes, and then paid the money. Liu Jincheng happily drove away in his harvester.

After Liu Jincheng left, Zhou Jianming looked at the neatly arranged wheat bags in the yard and sighed, "Oh, how come harvesting wheat is so easy this year? In previous years, it would have been exhausting!"

Li Nan brought a basin of water and said with a smile, "Dad, Brother Bin, come and wash your face. It will be cool soon."

Zhou Jianming walked to the basin with a smile and began to wash his face and hands. Zhou Bin followed suit.

Li Nan smiled and said, "Dad, I think this 40 yuan is worth it. Last year, we went to the fields to harvest wheat and we almost died of the heat."

Zhou Jianming couldn't help but nodded and said, "Yeah, I almost couldn't stand it last year."

Zhou Bin wiped his hands and face with a towel and said with a smile: "Dad, money is meant to be spent. Now that we can make money, we can't let others suffer anymore, right?"

Zhou Jianming sighed: "Yes, Binbin, you are much more clear-headed than Dad. Dad is not as good as you!"

While the two were talking, Ah Niu ran over in panic, shouting, "Brother, come quickly, something big has happened!"

Zhou Jianming looked at Ah Niu's panicked face and immediately asked, "Ah Niu, what happened?"

Ah Niu said angrily, "Zhou Xing's child climbed up my apricot tree to steal apricots and accidentally fell down. The child seems to be in a serious condition. His family is coming to my house to make trouble now."

Zhou Jianming was stunned when he heard this: "You said Zhou Tao fell from the tree?"

Ah Niu said anxiously: "Yes! What should we do?"

When Zhou Bin heard this, he immediately said, "He climbed up your tree and stole the apricots. What does it have to do with you?"

Ah Niu nodded quickly and said, "Yes, but the kid fell pretty hard. Instead of taking the kid to the doctor, they surrounded my dad!"

Zhou Jianming did not rush over to check like he did in the past. Instead, he said quietly, "Serves you right! You act like a little bandit all day long!"

Zhou Bin looked at his father in surprise. This old man finally figured things out!

This is what Zhou Bin wanted to say. Zhou Jianren treated his grandchildren as treasures and would brag about them to everyone he met.

It is precisely because of Zhou Jianren’s doting that these kids have become lawless, just like bandits, and are disliked by the villagers.

But he treated the little flower as worthless, as if it were an object that could be easily given away.

Now let him see what kind of person his grandson is!

Thinking of this, Zhou Bin said, "Let's go and take a look."

Aniu hurriedly pulled Zhou Bin there. Zhou Jianming didn't want to go, but Xiaohua insisted on going, so he went with them.

As soon as he arrived at Aniu's house, Zhou Bin saw a large group of people gathered at the door.

Ah Niu hurriedly shouted: "Everyone make way!"

When the villagers saw that it was Aniu and Zhou Bin coming, they hurriedly made way for them and the two walked in.

Zhou Bin took a quick look and saw that bastard Zhou Tao was lying on the ground with a livid face, not moving at all.

Liu Ailing put her hands on her hips and cursed, while Zhou Jianren was spitting and loudly questioning Liu Junyi.

Liu Junyi said with a gloomy face: "Why are you so unreasonable? It was your grandson who came to pick apricots from my house and fell down. What does it have to do with me?"

Zhou Jianren insisted, "I don't care. My grandson got into trouble at your house. If anything happens to him, I will never forgive you!"

Liu Junyi said helplessly to everyone: "Do you think this guy is a scoundrel? My things were stolen, and you still want to find fault with me. Who can I go to for justice?"

Liu Ailing howled, "Liu Junyi, if anything happens to my grandson, I will make your whole family live in unrest!"

Ah Niu was so angry that he started to curse: "How can you be so shameless! And you are blaming us? Who let your little monkey come and steal things?"

Everyone said that it was not Liu Junyi's fault. He was out and there was no one at home, so the kid ran to steal apricots and ended up falling down. Now he still blames Liu Junyi. It's really strange.
