"Zhenzhu, you are slapping my face? You just use the kitchen and I am charging you rent. What kind of person do you think I am?" Aunt Zhang was unhappy.
"Aunt, I was wrong. Actually, it's not rent. It's money for seasoning and firewood. The oil, salt, soy sauce and other things in your house are all bought with money! If you don't charge me, I'm afraid I won't dare to use them." Zhao Zhenzhu explained with a smile.
"The firewood was chopped by our family in the mountains, so we didn't spend any money on it. The oil, salt, sauce and vinegar don't cost much either, so you can use them, Zhenzhu. You helped me make clothes before and often didn't charge me. Should I charge you for it, too?" Aunt Zhang's face finally broke into a smile.
"Then...Auntie, you have to accept this bag of brown sugar." Zhao Zhenzhu handed the brown sugar that she had prepared in advance to Aunt Zhang.
"Zhenzhu, I'll accept it this time, but don't be so polite next time. We usually have a good relationship, but you're being so clear with me that I feel embarrassed." Aunt Zhang muttered.
"Just this once. If I need to use your kitchen again in the future, I won't give you anything," said Zhao Zhenzhu.
"That's right!" Aunt Zhang was satisfied.
Interpersonal relations mean that you bother me and I bother you. If you do this more often, the relationship will get better and better.
Aunt Zhang wishes Zhao Zhenzhu would bother her often!
Lunch was about to start in an hour and a half. Zhao Zhenzhu didn't want to spend too much time on cooking, so she spent two or three minutes making two bowls of sugar-water eggs.
Zhao Zhenzhu brought a bowl to Zhou Bingchen, and then sat down to eat her own meal after returning.
"Zhenzhu, your Bingchen is so lucky." Aunt Zhang said enviously.
Aunt Zhang saw it.
The bowl that Zhao Zhenzhu brought to Zhou Bingchen just now contained three eggs, while the bowl that Zhao Zhenzhu herself ate only had one egg.
Aunt Zhang was filled with emotion.
Over the years, Zhao Zhenzhu's love for Zhou Bingchen has never changed. She would save any delicious food for Zhou Bingchen and would rush to do any work she could do.
Fortunately, Zhao Zhenzhu didn't know what Aunt Zhang was thinking. If she knew, she would definitely explain it loudly.
She wanted to save some space for lunch! She didn't feel sorry for Zhou Bingchen.
The ingredients for lunch included a chicken and a bag of peeled chestnut kernels.
Zhao Zhenzhu didn't eat a single bite of the chicken that Ding Ermei stewed last night, but she was tired of the aroma.
Zhao Zhenzhu is cooking today and has the ingredients on hand, so she will definitely cook something to satisfy her craving.
After Zhao Zhenzhu and Aunt Zhang chatted for a while, Zhao Zhenzhu asked, "Aunt, you just said you had something to ask me. What is it?"
"Zhenzhu! I went back to my parents' home yesterday." Aunt Zhang took a look at Zhao Zhenzhu's face and dared to continue speaking only when she saw that Zhao Zhenzhu was still smiling.
It turned out that after Aunt Zhang returned to her parents' home yesterday, she saw her sister-in-law making hair bands.
Aunt Zhang helped make dozens of them.
Aunt Zhang is very skillful and can make hair bands faster than her sister-in-law, and the quality is guaranteed.
Aunt Zhang's sister-in-law knew that Aunt Zhang and Zhao Zhenzhu had a good relationship. She told Aunt Zhang that she could make several yuan a day by making hair bands. She suggested that Aunt Zhang ask Zhao Zhenzhu if she could take some work back to Zhoujia Village.
When Aunt Zhang heard this, she hurried to Zhao's house.
You can earn money at home and make several dollars a day. Aunt Zhang must want to do this kind of job!
When she arrived at Zhao's house, Aunt Zhang learned that Zhao Zhenzhu had returned to Zhoujia Village.
Aunt Zhang didn't dare go to Zhou Fugui's house to talk to Zhao Zhenzhu about the circle post. She tossed and turned for most of the night and only decided to invite Zhao Zhenzhu to her house today to talk.
"Pearl! I showed your mother the hair bands I made yesterday. Your mother said that I made them very well and all of them passed the test. I would like to ask if I can get some materials to make them at home. I promise that I will make each one carefully and will not tell anyone about this." After Aunt Zhang finished speaking, she looked at Zhao Zhenzhu eagerly.
Zhao Zhenzhu lowered her head and thought about it.
What Aunt Zhang said is actually not impossible.
Previously, Zhao Zhenzhu asked several neighbors who were making hair circles to keep it a secret because she was afraid that others would get there first and earn the first wave of profits.
Now that Zhao Zhenzhu's stall has been opened, she finds that there are only four or five people making hair bands, which are not enough for He Bo and his friends to sell.
If Zhou Bingchen hadn't come back suddenly, Zhao Zhenzhu would have definitely found a few more people in the town to help make hair bands in the past two days.
In her previous life, Aunt Zhang helped Zhao Zhenzhu several times.
Now that Aunt Zhang has spoken, Zhao Zhenzhu will definitely be willing to help Aunt Zhang.
"Aunt, if you are willing to make hair bands, I would definitely welcome you. However, I hope you can help me find three women with good craftsmanship in the village to set up a processing team. You don't have to tell them that hair bands are my business. You can come to the town to get the materials, and I will only settle the wages with you. If the quality is guaranteed, I will give you a commission of one cent for every ten hair bands they make. What do you think?" Zhao Zhenzhu asked.
"Yes, I do. Zhenzhu, thank you!" Aunt Zhang was overjoyed.
Zhao Zhenzhu wants her to be a team leader!
Others also give her commission for the hair bands they make. Pearl is trying every way to take care of her!
Aunt Zhang was very satisfied.
After lunch, Zhao Zhenzhu learned the whole story of the attack on the villagers of Zhoujia Village last night.
The victim was Widow Liu.
Around 11 o'clock last night, Widow Liu was hit with a brick from behind in her own yard.
Widow Liu died on the spot.
The murderer probably thought that Widow Liu was dead, so he cleaned up the scene roughly and ran away.
It was not the Widow Liu's destiny to die.
The blow only caused Widow Liu to suffocate. After an unknown amount of time, Widow Liu slowly woke up.
Widow Liu struggled to run to the town police station and reported the case.
Director Jin takes this case very seriously.
After listening to Widow Liu's story, Director Jin suspected that the murderer was a villager.
Murder is a serious crime.
Director Jin happened to be free, so he personally led a team to Zhoujia Village early in the morning to conduct on-site inspections and visit the villagers.
Fearing that the murderer would escape, Director Jin simply blocked the road and temporarily prohibited anyone from leaving the village.
Zhao Zhenzhu knew all this when Director Jin came to find her to find out about the situation.
Of course, Zhao Zhenzhu also promised that she would never leak the information before the murderer was brought to justice.
Zhoujia Village is a large village with more than 150 households.
Although Director Jin brought a lot of people with him, it was still difficult to visit more than 150 households in one day.
In the afternoon, Director Jin "borrowed" Zhou Bingchen and went to check the scene for the second time.
Zhou Bingchen is a soldier with excellent investigative ability. Director Jin hopes to hear different opinions from Zhou Bingchen.
Since she couldn't leave today, Zhao Zhenzhu could only stay in Zhoujia Village for another day.
Zhou Fugui was almost dying of anxiety.
After breakfast, Zhou Fugui put a bag on his back, with gold bars wrapped tightly in cloth in his arms, and hurried to the town.
Zhou Fugui is ready to run away.
As soon as he reached the village entrance, Zhou Fugui was stopped by the police officer Xiao Geng.
"Uncle, you can't leave the village today. Please go home and wait for news!" Xiao Geng asked.
