Chapter 446 448: A Good Rebirth
Some people looked at Cao Shuiqing with sympathy, thinking that this tall man, if he had not been reincarnated in the mountains, how could he become a son-in-law to such a woman.
You have to be reborn into a good one. Even if you don’t go into the city, you can’t go to the mountains!
Look at those old widowers and disabled people in the city, they can find beautiful wives, but the tall and big mountain men can't even find stupid women.
Huang Lao Da didn't expect that she would dare to say anything. He looked at the villagers who were watching and pretended to be calm. "Who in the village doesn't know what kind of person you are? You're having an affair with another man before you get married. It's not certain whose father Huang Bin is!"
Mrs. Huang saw something flashing through his mind, and after a moment of hesitation, she yelled "Ah" and rushed towards Ye Xiaoshuang, "Shameless bastard, I'll tear you apart!"
Cao Shuiqing pulled Ye Xiaoshuang behind him, blocked her with a rake, and said in a muffled voice: "She told me about this before Xiaoshuang and I got the marriage certificate.
She also said that Huang Bin is the offspring of your Huang family. I don’t care about what happened in the past, as long as she lives well with me in the future. I will also treat Huang Bin well in the future, and you guys should not sow discord between us in front of the children. "
Ye Xiaoshuang didn't expect that the man who usually kept silent would dare to stand up and protect her when something happened. She felt confident and said to the onlookers, "Ever since Shui Qingzhao came to the door, Huang Laoda and his wife have often instigated Xiaobin."
"They said he was his stepfather and wanted to harm him. Some of his kids also said Shuiqing was a jerk from the mountains. They were trying to embarrass the Huang family, and the kids got angry at him when they got home."
Then she pointed at Huang Da and his wife, "That short-lived Huang Lao Er only has one child left. You don't want him to be well, so you keep urging him to go home and make trouble! Don't think I don't know what you are up to. You want to force us out and occupy the house he left behind? No way!"
Mrs. Huang cursed, "Bitch, I don't want your shabby house. People come and go in it every day. I think it's unlucky even if you give it to me!"
Ye Xiaoshuang showed no sign of weakness, "Bullshit! Your family was the one who welcomed us in and sent us out..."
The two women cursed each other's ancestors for eight generations, and cursed at everything, regardless of whether it was vegetarian or not...
Zhou Yiding blushed when he heard this. Seeing that everyone was watching with great interest and even forgot what they were doing, he stepped forward and shouted, "What's so good about this? Everyone go away and go dig truffles."
"If you look at it for a while, all the good mushroom nests will be taken up by others. The first-class goods are one yuan per pound! They are all money! If you don't go now, even the inferior goods will be taken away by others."
The woman who was digging truffles conscientiously over there also said after hearing this: "Stop arguing. Secretary Xu said that if anyone dares to fight over territory for digging truffles, the Zhou family will not accept their truffles. I have already dug more than a dozen while you were arguing."
Zhou Yiding nodded, "Yes, today is the first day, we will just pretend we didn't see it. If you do this again next time, we won't take it back even if you dig it up."
"Well, we won't."
The villagers who came to watch the fun scattered like birds and beasts, running towards their own truffle digging places, fearing that if they ran too slowly their spots would be taken by others.
Ye Xiaoshuang pulled Cao Shuiqing and said, "Let's go and give them this unlucky position."
"Oh!" Cao Shuiqing picked up the backpack, picked up the rake and followed her into the woods.
Zhou Yiding and his companions glanced at Huang Lao Da and his wife, then strode back.
After everyone left, Huang Da's wife scratched Huang Da's face with her claws, "Shameless bastard, you even dared to lay your hands on your own brother's wife..."
Huang covered his face and asked, "Are you crazy?"
"I'm crazy..." Mrs. Huang pounced on him again.
…
At Yang Chunyan's house, several uncles and aunts who were about the same age as Zhou's father came in with baskets on their backs. "Youngest Zhou, are you really going to harvest truffles?"
Their clothes were all patched up, and even the yellow rubber shoes on their feet had several patches on them.
"Yes, yes!" Yang Chunyan stepped forward with a smile, "Please sit down for a while. We can pick them out before we can weigh them!"
Seeing that they really wanted to buy it, several people grinned with wrinkles on their faces, "Really one yuan, how many cents per pound?"
Yang Chunyan showed the samples to the others and said, "According to this selection, first-class is one dollar, second-class is seven cents..."
A few people put down their backpacks and said, "We have first-class and second-class ones. Do you want the ones that are not of the highest quality? If you want them, just give us some money."
Yang Chunyan saw that there were many small mushrooms in the baskets of several people, "We will also accept the inferior ones, 10 cents per pound."
Several people didn't expect that the small ones could be sold for ten cents per pound, and they were so happy that they couldn't close their mouths. "Okay, if we sell them, we'll go cut a piece of meat to take back as a snack."
Yang Chunyan and a few others poured out the truffles and started to pick them.
Father Zhou came over from the backyard and greeted them with a smile, "Brother Li, you guys came down so early?"
Old Li smiled and nodded. "Everyone has gone up to the mountain to dig truffles, leaving my wife alone at home. I have to come back and give her something to eat."
Zhou's father said sympathetically, "Your family is still the same?"
Old Li sighed, "Yes! When I sell the truffles and have some money, I'll send her to the city. I'm afraid your family won't want her after a few days."
The others looked at Zhou's father and asked, "Old Zhou, when did your family receive it? Everyone is planning to dig some truffles to sell for the New Year!"
Father Zhou said with a smile, "Don't worry, everyone. The youngest one said that we will get some truffles when the spring starts, so just dig them up and send them to us."
Several people nodded happily, "Yes, yes!"
"Everyone come and sit down, drink some hot water to warm yourself up." Father Zhou took a few people to sit in front of a tree stump, drink water and chat.
At this time, Zhao Huifang and several others came out to help pick the truffles. With so many people and they all worked efficiently, they soon sorted the truffles from Lao Li's family according to grades and started weighing them, and then continued to pick the ones for the next family.
Luo Haili and Li Qiuyue put the selected truffles into bamboo baskets, weighed them and reported the number, "Uncle Li's first-class goods are 4 kilograms, second-class goods are 10 kilograms, third-class goods are 21 kilograms, and the goods that are not of the same quality are 15 kilograms."
Everyone stopped sitting and gathered around, waiting for Yang Chunyan to pay the bill. They all thought that although the Zhou family said they would charge one yuan or a few dimes per pound, they still had to get the money in their hands for it to count.
Yang Chunyan wrote down the weight in the account book and began to calculate. "4 catties of first-class goods is 4 yuan, 10 catties of second-class goods is 7 yuan, 21 catties of third-class goods is 10.5 yuan, and 15 catties of non-quality goods is 1.5 yuan, a total of 23 yuan."
As she spoke, she took out two big unity notes and a three-piece set from her bag and handed them to the excited old Li, whose face was flushed with excitement. "Uncle Li's family is lucky in the mountains. He earned so much in just this morning!"
The others looked at him enviously, "The Li family is really lucky. They made so much in just this morning. My family doesn't even make half as much as yours!"
Zhou's father was also very happy. The more they sold, the more they would earn. If it weren't for helping the kids, he would have gone up the mountain to dig truffles to make money long ago.
Old Li took the money and held it tightly in his hands, his hands trembling with excitement. "My eldest brother, my two grandsons and I grabbed our tools and went up the mountain as soon as we heard the broadcast. We were lucky enough to find a place with a lot of goods. They are still digging in the mountain!"
He thought about his wife at home, "That's good. After this busy period, we will send her to Ning'an to see a doctor. Then we'll trouble you to go with us."
Yang Chunyan nodded readily, "Okay! Just let me know in advance when you're going."
"Thank you! Thank you! I will go back and cook for my wife." Old Li walked away happily with his backpack.
Some of the next few companies only had half the quantity of Lao Li’s company, and some had less than half. Everyone was very happy after getting the money.
As soon as they went out, they met Mrs. Ye standing at the gate with a backpack on her back. "We just sold it and got the money."
Mrs. Ye looked at the money in the hands of several people and said, "Just give me cash."
One of them leaned over to look at the bag she was carrying, "How much did you dig?"
Mrs. Ye smiled bitterly and said, "You know, my family is weak and stupid. I worked hard all morning and only dug about ten pounds."
"I only got a few dollars in the morning, what's wrong with that!" The woman patted her and said, "Let's go!"
"That's right!" She walked into the yard and smiled at Yang Chunyan, "I dug some truffles from Zhou Laoyao's house."
"Just send it in!" Yang Chunyan responded readily.
Li Qiuyue glanced at her and didn't say much.
Seeing that she responded readily, Mrs. Ye looked more natural. She was still worried that Yang Chunyan and her sisters-in-law would remember the quarrel and make things difficult for her!
Yang Chunyan poured it out and the three of them sat on the straw benches and started to choose.
Mrs. Ye smiled flatteringly, "Yes, it's the end of the year, and I was worried about where to find the money to buy a few pounds of meat to smoke some bacon for the New Year. When I woke up this morning, I heard the loudspeaker announcing the harvest of truffles. Thanks to your family for finding a way to make money, everyone can also make money and have a good New Year!"
Yang Chunyan smiled and didn't answer. She put the selected truffles into a bamboo basket. "First-class is 1.6 jin, second-class is 3 jin... a total of 7.5 yuan."
"Yes, yes!" Seeing that the small pieces were also collected, Mrs. Ye smiled so much that the corners of her mouth almost stretched to her ears. "Let's go back. We have to go up the mountain in the afternoon!"
"Remember to fill the soil you dug out, or you won't have truffles to sell later."
"I see. My family has already refilled the land!" Mrs. Ye happily picked up her backpack and said, "Let's go!"
"Walk slowly!" Li Qiuyue put the truffles into the basket, and seeing that she had already left the yard, she curled her lips and said, "You old woman, if I hadn't felt sorry for her family, I really wouldn't have wanted to take her in."
Luo Haili asked curiously: "What happened to his family?"
Li Qiuyue: "She married a close relative, and one of her two sons was disabled and the other had a mental problem. The normal one got married, and she was left raising her two sons alone."
"Alas!" Luo Haili sighed after hearing this, "It's quite pitiful!"
As she spoke, she thought of herself. If it weren't for her aunt and uncle, she might not have lived a peaceful life like Mrs. Ye.
Now I have been given an easy job. Although I don't earn as much as I did digging truffles in the mountains, I will have opportunities to earn money once I get my health back. By then, I can buy an old yard and have a home for myself and Qiaoling.
Li Qiuyue packed the mushrooms and looked at the account book. "Chunyan, including my uncle's family and Xiaoxue's family, we have collected more than 100 kilograms this morning, right?"
Yang Chunyan took a look and said, "My uncle's family weighs 52 kilograms, Xiaoxue's family weighs 36 kilograms, and if you don't count the inferior ones, they weigh more than 200 kilograms."
Li Qiuyue looked at her in surprise, "That's so much! I'm afraid the capital is not enough!"
