Chapter 175: Did they rob the bank?
Zhou Yunjia nodded obediently as he listened to his grandmother's concern for him.
Zhou Yunjia's expectations for his future wife are simple. As long as she doesn't interfere too much with his reading and book buying, he will be fine with everything.
Of course, it would be even better if she liked reading as much as I do.
On the first day of the New Year, people kowtow, wish each other a happy new year, say auspicious words, and receive red envelopes.
The children couldn't contain their excitement after paying their New Year's greetings. After handing the red envelopes to their parents, they ran out in a group with only a few coins in their hands. He Zizhen and Lu Changfeng, who came later to pay their New Year's greetings to their teachers, didn't even see them.
The backyard is full of joy and the front yard is also very lively.
There is probably no one who doesn't like red envelopes, so when Chunque and Luo Xiaoshan carried the red envelopes wrapped by Zhou Yunshu to the main hall in the front yard, the younger Hu Zi and Du Hengxin and others kept pouring out nice words as if they were free.
“Oh my god!”
Du Hengxin couldn't wait to open his red envelope. After seeing the amount inside, he stared at Zhou Yunshu with wide eyes in shock.
"Sir, are you going to rob the bank?"
"Pockmarked, how can you talk like that!" Yan Shilei said with a smile, but the amount of the red envelope was indeed beyond their imagination.
"Wow! Boss, so much!" Hu Zi wanted to jump up excitedly when he saw the money in the red envelope.
Zhou Yunshu put twenty taels of silver notes and two gold leaves in the red envelopes distributed to each person, which added up to almost fifty taels of silver. It was no wonder that Du Hengxin and the others were so surprised.
You have to know that when they lived in the village before, because they were self-sufficient, they could not spend even ten taels of silver in the whole year.
And now Zhou Yunshu gave them a New Year red envelope of fifty taels of silver.
"Everyone worked hard all year last year, so of course I have to give everyone a big gift."
It is not yet time for Zhou Yunshu to really use the money, so the money in the space is piled up like a mountain.
Once she really starts preparing the fleet and navy, I'm afraid the money in the space will flow away like water.
"We will continue to rely on you this year. If we can truly establish a firm foothold in Dongchuan this year, we will receive more red envelopes this year!"
"Thank you, Boss!"
"Thank you, sir! I will do my best!"
"Us too!"
During the Chinese New Year, Zhou Yunshu did not restrict Du Hengxin and Hu Zi and others.
Normally these people were extremely busy with the various tasks arranged by Zhou Yunshu. Now that they finally had some free time, Du Hengxin, Hu Zi and others dragged Yan Shilei, Zhan Chuan and others to play cards in the back room.
Zhou Yunshu smiled and did not stop them. She even joined in with Zhou Yunzhi and played a few games with them.
But it was only a few rounds. Although Zhou Yunshu didn't know how to play, she never lost after she got the hang of it and understood the rules. Zhou Yunzhi never lost since he started playing, and he beat Du Hengxin and Hu Zi so hard that they almost cried.
Therefore, the two of them withdrew after playing for less than ten rounds. They didn't come to play to win back the red envelope that Zhou Yunshu had just sent out.
On the other side, Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and others took Xixi from home, took some dried fruits, candies and cakes, and ran to the street to play with the friends they usually met.
Although every household has plenty of delicious food during the Chinese New Year, the food Xixi and the others brought out is rarely seen in ordinary families even during the Chinese New Year. Therefore, after He Zizhen and Lu Changfeng came out of Zhou's house, they saw a group of children gathered on the bluestone benches and guessed that they must be Yuan Li, Yuan Yi and the others.
Sure enough, before they got close, they heard the voices of Yuan Li and Yuan Yi.
"No snatching allowed, each person can only take one of each kind!"
"Fat Liu! I saw you took two pieces!"
The little boy Yuan Li called Liu Xiaopang looked two years older than Yuan Li. He held a piece of cake in his hand and another in his mouth. When Yuan Li called him that, he explained vaguely, "I'm fat, so I should eat two pieces."
"Fat or thin, you can only eat one piece!"
"Why are you fighting with a kid?" The little girl with pigtails looked up at the boy and said angrily.
Yuan Yi looked at the boy who appeared out of nowhere, much taller than them, and said to him, who was about fourteen or fifteen years old, "We are distributing this to the children!"
"You've divided it all, so what's wrong with giving me two pieces?"
As he spoke, the boy pushed aside the children around him and tried to grab the food box from Ansheng's hand. "What can a little brat eat? Give it to me, it's all mine!"
"Oh, there's money!" His eyes lit up, "Give it to me, and consider it your protection money!"
As the boy said that, he reached out to grab the money. It didn't matter if the money in the child's hand was lost. As long as he could grab it, it would be his!
But before he could take a step forward and grab the money chain, he was pushed down by several children behind him.
"It's shameless to steal something from a kid. Beat him up!"
Someone shouted, and the boy who had relied on his height to break into the group of children was pressed down by the children around him.
Lu Changfeng's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. How could he be left out of this mess? Charge!
…
Zhou Yunshu never thought that someone would come to her house on New Year's Day.
She looked at the young man standing at the door of her house with a bruised face and a beaten face, and the men, women, and children standing beside him in a menacing manner.
My goodness, it happened to be the New Year and all the relatives were together, so they came here together to accuse me.
"You said that the injuries on his body were caused by our children?"
The woman standing next to the young man with a mean look on her face pointed at Zhou Yunshu's nose and cursed, "If it wasn't the work of those little bastards from your family, could it be that our child fell down on his own?"
Zhou Yunshu's eyes turned slightly cold. She was really fed up with people who called children "beasts" right away.
"Why don't you go out and find out what our Zhang family is doing in Jiangzhong? If you don't give us an explanation today, we will make you walk into Jiangzhong City upright and walk out sideways!"
The lady dared to speak so arrogantly because she knew that this family had just moved here before the New Year. If they didn't know that they were outsiders with no roots in Jiangzhong, they would not dare to be so arrogant.
Zhou Yunshu glanced at the man behind the woman who was stirring up trouble. She had originally wanted to talk to him in a friendly way, but now she just sneered, "Really? I want to see how you make us come in vertically and leave horizontally!"
Zhou Yunshu was in a very bad mood as she was being treated unlucky on the first day of the Chinese New Year.
So as soon as she finished speaking with a sullen face, Hu Zi, Zhan Chuan and the others came out of the house with sticks in their hands and ferocious looks.
Zhan Chuan and his men are considered tall among northern men, not to mention those in the river.
The arrogant woman swallowed her saliva in fear when she saw Zhan Chuan and his men, but looking at the neighbors who were gathering around her and the man who was poking her from behind, she mustered up the courage to say, "What? Are you planning to fight?"
Zhou Yunshu smiled and said, "I'm doing this to protect the house."
"On New Year's Day, I saw a group of gutter rats appear at my door. Shouldn't I go and get rid of the bad luck?"
"Who are you calling an old man from the gutter..."
Before the woman could finish her words, the winter dove and spring sparrow appeared out of nowhere and poured a basin of salt water on the group of people standing in front of their door.
"I'm scolding you!"
