Patriarch Kong listened to the conversation of the Zhou Village people and felt deeply moved. This is the family of ordinary people, right? They were all harmed by that brother.
It was as if he and his youngest son were also harmed by his cousin.
Thinking of his cousin with his limbs severed and thrown in the alley and Xiao Shen with a crooked mouth and squinting eyes, the old master Kong had a headache. What should he do?
From the perspective of the family, my uncle’s crime does not deserve the death penalty, but from Zhou Xiang’s perspective, he deserves the death penalty a hundred times over.
Principal Zhang cursed her son for being stupid. Zhou Xiang was the daughter-in-law she had high hopes for! Her son was so clueless, and he still hadn't figured it out. Thinking of this, she glared at her husband.
Principal Li was glared at for no apparent reason and didn't understand what was going on. Isn't it a good thing to get two gold bars?
Principal Ji sighed softly, it was a pity that Zhou Xiang had only been in No. 1 Middle School for two years, so they hadn’t developed any feelings yet!
Ran Qiming smiled. This was the most rebellious and promising student he had ever taught, bar none.
At the main table, seven people emptied all eight bowls like a whirlwind.
The old leader rubbed his bulging belly and said, "Hong! What do you think Zhou Xiang is going to give as a souvenir? Can I have this fish? Oh, didn't they say they caught it in the lake up ahead? Let's go fishing too! We can have some fun and then go back. We're already out anyway."
The skinny old man glared at him and said, "Behave yourself! Those security guards are already exhausted, and they still have to take away that huge box of gold bars."
"Didn't Tang Ganwen bring over a dozen people? Tell him to find a way to get it back. We can go fishing for a while and then rush back in the evening!"
Old Master Xiao also joined in the fun, "That's right, Zhou Xiang's family has a fishing rod, the seven of us can go together, and the security guards don't have to separate, so it won't be too tiring."
Then, Zhou Xiang heard Old Man Xiao calling her. When she came in, she saw the eight empty bowls. "What's wrong? Is there not enough food?"
Old Man Xiao shook his head, "Not enough, not enough, so, we are going fishing."
Zhou Xiang blinked, "If it's not enough, why are you shaking your head?"
Old Master Xiao also shook his head, "It's just that it's not big enough, that's why I shook my head. We want to catch fish and take them away, big fish and take them away."
"Okay! I'll get you some fishing rods. Are we all going?"
"Yes!"
"Okay, it'll be quick."
Zhou Xiang walked out of the dining room and immediately ordered Lu Jin, "Lu Jin, take some people to the front yard to clear out the people and guard the big iron gate. Also, ask a few security guards outside to go patrol the park with you. The old men want to go fishing, so bring all your fishing rods. I only have two good ones at home."
"Yes, I'll arrange it right away."
Ling Ran frowned, "Why are they still addicted to it?"
"I think it's the fish that's to blame. Let's add some dried fish to the souvenirs later! Tell them to take it home and enjoy it slowly. Oh no! We might have to increase the work of raising and killing fish again."
"It's really a nuisance. We have so much to do that we can hardly handle it all."
"Whatever! Better to be busy!"
Tang Ganwen was assigned the task of escorting gold bars, and suddenly he felt that the gold bars in his pocket were not shiny at all.
A dozen people listlessly sorted the large wooden box. It weighed over 10,000 pounds. How could they take it away? Ling Ran kindly offered them a sack, but Tang Ganwen tossed it aside. "This broken thing is so obvious what's inside. You might as well have me carry a sign that says 'There's no silver here, there's no silver here'."
Ling Ran pointed towards the park and said, "You can also dig in the mud and play with it. Just don't act too strenuous when carrying it."
Tang Ganwen's eyes lit up, "Are you sure I won't be scolded by my old boss?"
"Did you get there safely?"
"Hehehe, that's right! As long as the mission is accomplished, who cares what method is used!"
So, ten people came out, carrying shovels and digging the mud.
The Yang, Huang, and Feng families, who were blocked at home and not allowed to leave, waited and waited, but only to hear the sound of mud-throwing cannons.
"No, you didn't use enough mud to fill this hole."
"Oh! You're playing dirty. You beat the mud into a paper-thin piece."
The Feng and Huang families, who had no choice but to urinate and defecate in urine buckets, were extremely envious of the Yang family for having a new house and a bathroom.
Ling Ran looked at the team leader who was actually throwing mud, and said, "If you don't work, the sun won't dry up, and you're doomed."
Looking up at the already crooked sunlight, Tang Ganwen threw the mud into a pile and said, "Get to work!"
Ge Xin rolled his eyes, not knowing who suggested to just play around first.
Mud bricks were placed on the cement road. Tang Ganwen and his colleagues were guarding it wearing "sun hats" woven from willow branches, staring at the old leaders who were happily fishing in the park.
Uncle Chen and his son were sent to follow the old leader and his men, so that if they really caught a big fish, they could jump down and catch it with their quick eyes and legs.
Uncle Chen and his son entrusted Boss Zhou with the two gold bars. Liu Dagang quickly handed the gold bars to Zhou Xiang, "Sister Zhou, please keep them for me. When you need them urgently, come back and get them, okay?"
Zhou Xiang nodded, "Don't worry! It's safest to accept my money. The price of gold will increase in the future, so don't rush to exchange it."
Liu Dagang nodded repeatedly, "I'll listen to Sister Zhou."
Those who heard this also quickly took note and remembered that they could not sell it casually, as the price would go up in the future.
Because the old leader had not left, the entire food station was under martial law and no one could leave. The women simply helped to clean up the yard, and the men helped to carry heavy objects.
The Zhou family was finally able to fill their stomachs with the leftovers. Jiankang insisted on sitting next to the aunt. The aunt was so amazing and they admired her the most.
Yuanyuan pushed her brothers aside and said, "You are not allowed to touch my aunt. She has a baby."
