"Five hundred, exactly five hundred!"
Without waiting for Meng Sheng to say anything, Meng Qiang stretched out a palm and waved it in the air continuously, indicating the quantity while also expressing his joy and excitement.
After that, he blinked his eyes, which were as bright as stars, and said, "Second brother, guess how we made so much money?"
Meng Sheng didn't guess, as long as he knew that his two brothers hadn't suffered any loss, he slapped someone on the shoulder and asked, "Where's the eldest brother?
I came to see you guys for something!"
Meng Chao in the room was awakened by the noise of the two people talking. He rubbed his sleepy eyes and turned over to get up.
Leaning against the door frame, he asked in a hoarse voice, "We've only been out for a day or two. What's going on?"
Meng Sheng briefly talked about the death of his great-grandfather and the execution of Meng Chengliang and others.
Finally, he said, "My great-grandfather has passed away. I came here in a hurry and don't know the exact date for his burial.
The weather is hot now, but it will only last for two or three days.
Uncle Liang and his men will be executed in the village the day after tomorrow afternoon.
You guys discuss what to do next!"
Meng Chao glanced at Meng Qiang, sighed, and replied, "I can go back early tomorrow morning, so the third brother doesn't have to go back.
Their school starts tomorrow, don't go back and forth and miss classes!"
The most important thing is not to scare people to death. Now that the family has enough money, what they lack is an educated person.
Meng Qiang is young and cannot play with his brother Meng Yun.
There are many children of this generation in the Meng family. Because he was not valued by his parents, even though he was a good student, he received little care from his elders and had a weak relationship with his uncles and brothers from the next room.
Hearing this, he nodded and agreed to his elder brother's arrangement.
Meng Sheng then went on to tell his brother about his trip to the Public Security Bureau, but of course, he didn't reveal the secret in front of his brothers.
He firmly established himself as someone who ran around for his cousins and uncles.
He also said, "I won't go back with my eldest brother tomorrow. I will stay in the county town and see if I can find a chance to send something to Uncle Liang and the others."
Meng Chao simply thought his second brother was thinking about their past friendship, and without giving it any thought, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Just ask. If you can send it, send it. If you can't, forget it. Don't do anything unnecessary!"
"I know, brother!"
Meng Sheng had no intention of doing anything extra, so he was very happy with the result.
The matter was settled, and Meng Qiang brought up the topic at the beginning again without giving up: "Second brother, do you know what we have been reselling these two days?
When I was purchasing goods yesterday, I met a classmate.
Unexpectedly, his brother was the one who specialized in trading goods in Haishi.
There are not only daily necessities such as towels, quilt covers, and rubber shoes, but also things like tape recorders and electronic watches.
These are all popular items outside.
That is, we have less capital and take less goods, otherwise we could make more money."
Meng Sheng felt that if his younger brother had a tail, it would have been sticking up to the sky at this moment.
He couldn't help but slap the man again and scolded him, "Do you know how to write the word 'greed'?
Do you know how to write the word 'zhi zu' (meaning to be content)?"
Meng Qiang touched his shoulder, which was hurt by the pat, and jumped three steps away. When he was farther away from his second brother, he frowned and retorted unwillingly: "You talk like you know how to write!"
Meng Sheng: ······, I was speechless.
It seemed that in the eyes of his family at this moment, he was illiterate and really should not know.
After looking at his younger brother with complicated eyes, Meng Sheng turned around silently and walked out the door, heading towards the small courtyard beside the city wall.
As I walked along, I was thinking about the possibility of going to night school.
Otherwise, with the identity of an illiterate, not only will it be inconvenient for you to go out and do things, but you will also be easily left speechless when educating your naughty children.
Not to mention how upset and regretful Meng Qiang felt when he realized he had said the wrong thing and hurt his second brother's feelings.
Not to mention that Meng Sheng was stimulated by a sentence and suddenly wanted to go to school in his twenties.
Just talking about Mengjia Village at this time, there is another kind of bustling scene.
The Feng family's old house was densely packed with people, and even the stone walls were crowded with black human heads.
The sounds of ping-pong balls smashing in the yard, the cries of pain and curses from men and women fighting, and the voices of several village cadres trying to stop the quarrels mixed together. The noise and bustle were no less than that of the old Meng family, where the old man played suona and gongs and drums.
Feng Yijiajia, who often hangs out in the mountains, took a half-day nap today. It was a rare occasion that he didn't go up the mountain to collect herbs. He lay on the courtyard wall and watched the excitement with great interest.
She often hangs around in the mountains and is almost considered a marginal figure in the village.
Few people would go out of their way to talk to her about the various things happening in the village.
Therefore, since his rebirth, Feng Yijia has basically been unable to catch up with the hottest melons.
But this time, she is one of the people who knows the most and most complete inside information.
Because the other party involved in the fight happened to be the next-door neighbor Chen Liang's family.
The story begins around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Feng Yijia had just woken up from a long nap and was about to make something to satisfy his stomach when he heard a commotion from the usually quiet Chen family next door.
I found a high stool under the eaves and stood on it. While eating, I stood on tiptoe to look at the situation in the yard through the opposite wall which was taller than a person.
Chen Liang's wife Zhao Fen, who always spoke softly, was seen holding a broom made of sorghum seedlings like a shrew and hitting Chen Jiao, who was standing at the gate of the courtyard with her hair and clothes slightly disheveled, and seemed to have just been brought back from outside.
She kept cursing, "Why did I give birth to a girl as stupid as you? The pigs in the backyard are better than you.
Pigs know to find a clean place to sleep, how about you?
Always going into the dirty places!
What kind of good family is the Feng family?
The old one is cunning and the young one is slippery. Which one is easy to get along with?
We live in the same village, don’t you know this?
A man can make you forget your last name with just a few words! "
I might as well beat you to death today, so that you, a brainless person, won't jump into the fire pit and die!"
Outside the courtyard gate, Feng Yixiang kept stomping his feet and turning around, not knowing whether he was anxious or angry.
Obviously, the affair between these two people has been known by their parents.
Chen Jiao was now content with love, and having been brainwashed by Feng Yixiang before, she stiffened her neck and fought for love, shouting, "Hit me! Hit me!
Anyway, I am Brother Yixiang's woman, and maybe I am already pregnant.
As long as he can't be killed, I will marry him for the rest of my life!"
Zhao Fen was struck by lightning when she heard this. She stopped hitting the man and squatted on the ground crying loudly.
Chen Liang, the head of the family who had been watching from the side, rushed forward and slapped his daughter hard.
There was a "bang" sound so loud that even Feng Yijia in the next yard could hear it clearly.
Then, Chen Liang dragged the stunned Chen Jiao into the house and locked her up.
While doing this, he cursed with gritted teeth: "What a disgrace!
Shameless thing!
What girl dares to crawl into a haystack with others? You have made me lose face!
······"
