Chapter 409 Chapter 410: Blatant Show-off
Wu Caixiang seemed not to understand what she meant, and said with a smile: "That proves that your Huai'an is lucky. I feel relieved that my Huaijin will go with them."
The other two also nodded, "That's right, you see your big tile house has been repaired, take my family's money to earn some money and come back to build a mud house!"
After hearing this, Zhou's mother said with a bitter face: "Sister-in-law, they really don't know how to hunt. If they did, would my family have to wait so long to divide the family property among them?"
Wu Caixiang pulled her and said, "Guilan, you have to help us say hello to your youngest son. I will ask Huaijin to go find him and go up the mountain together tomorrow."
Several others echoed, "That's right, we are all brothers from the same family, it would be unreasonable not to help!"
Mother Zhou was also a little annoyed, and said coldly: "You know my youngest son's temper. I can't make the decision about his affairs."
Wu Caixiang raised her eyebrows and pouted, "Hey! You are my mother, how dare he not listen to me? I think he is rich now and looks down on his poor brothers!"
The other person's smile also disappeared, "Yeah, rich people speak in a different tone, we poor relatives can't even afford to marry them!"
Another person saw this and hurriedly smiled to smooth things over, "Speak nicely, Sister Guilan is not that kind of person."
Mother Zhou looked at them calmly, "Whatever you say, the mountain is not mine. Whatever you want to do has nothing to do with my family. We don't take responsibility, and we can't take responsibility!"
The faces of several people changed immediately.
Wu Caixiang sneered, "What's so great about that? Even without Wang the butcher, he still wouldn't eat hairy pigs. Let's go. I don't believe that the wild animals in the mountains are raised by your family. Only your second-rate people can catch them!"
"That's right, she just made some lousy money! She thought everyone would curry favor with her."
"I want the ball and you come to curry my favor!" Zhou's mother got angry and pointed at Wu Caixiang and said, "Do you know that the wild animals in the mountains are not raised by my family? I thought you didn't know!
Don't think that I don't know what you are planning. I called my youngest to take you into the mountains. If you hunt wild animals and make money, it will be a good thing for you and everyone else. But if anything happens, it will be my youngest's responsibility.
You may say that we are brothers from the same family, but we are worse than outsiders when it comes to problems. I am not an idiot. I will not know your last name after hearing a few nice words. When my family couldn’t afford food, I never lent you a bowl of rice. It has nothing to do with you when I need food in the future.”
Wu Caixiang and the other two were unable to utter a word in response to what Zhou's mother said. They just spat and walked out quickly.
Luo Haili said: "Aunt, they came and refused to leave. They said they would wait for you to come back."
"It's none of your business!" Mother Zhou thought about it and worried that someone would go looking for Zhou Huaian, so she said to Luo Haili, "I have soaked the sorghum rice. Cook the rice and watch me cook two dishes. I'm going to go to the youngest's house."
"Got it!"
Zhou's mother went out in a hurry, and saw Wu Caixiang, three others, and Li Yinfu, making faces and gossiping outside.
When they saw Zhou's mother coming out, Wu Caixiang and the others hurried away in shame.
Li Yinfu looked at her awkwardly, "Guilan hasn't cooked yet? They asked if my Huaixing wanted to go hunting in the mountains?"
"Oh!" Mother Zhou glanced at the three people who were running away like dogs, and said with a smile, "It's being prepared! My youngest son killed a wild boar today, and my Chunyan insisted on leaving us a piece of pork belly and two pig's trotters."
As she spoke, she rolled up her watch and said, "I had lunch at the youngest's house at noon. When I got home, I chopped up the pig's trotters and stewed them all afternoon until the meat was boneless. I'm going to call the old man and Da Song to eat now!"
Li Yinfu looked at the golden watch on her wrist and his face turned green. "Oh! I'm going back to eat too."
The second branch used to send some meat when they killed wild boars, but now there is not even a bone. It is said that the richer people are, the stingier they are, and it really is true!
"Yes!" Zhou's mother looked at her proudly as she left, "I'll make you mad!"
When we arrived at Zhou Huaian's house, we saw Wangcai and Lai Fu lying on either side of the gate like two generals.
Zhou Jiaming and the others were huddled in front of the tree stump, reading books attentively. "Where are your father and aunt?"
Zhou Xiaoqian looked up, "Dad and Uncle Yiding went to the woods to catch chickens, and Aunt Yao is cooking."
"What's the matter?" Zhou Huaian and Zhou Yiding walked in carrying a chicken coop.
Zhou's mother looked at him angrily, "I'm so mad at you, just now... remember this, don't agree to take anyone into the mountains. It's okay if you make money, but if something goes wrong, you'll know what Cai Ermei is saying."
Zhou Yiding smiled and nodded, "Don't worry, Second Mother, no matter who comes, we won't agree."
"That's good. I'm going back." After saying this, Zhou's mother left like a gust of wind.
Zhou Huaian smiled and shook his head, "You are so old, but you still have such a bad temper!"
Zhou Yiding smiled and said, "She is just afraid that you will be fooled by a few nice words."
"I think you're still okay!" Zhou Huaian turned his head and smiled, "Then shall we go up the mountain tomorrow?"
"Go, why not!" Zhou Yiding said, washed his hands, and went to lie on the rocking chair, "Bah, I should have bought one a long time ago!"
Zhou Jiakang turned his head and looked at him, "Uncle Yiding, has your family bought it?"
"I bought it!" Zhou Yiding waved at him, "Are you in the first grade?"
"Next year!" Zhou Jiakang looked at the people around him, "My sister got second place in the exam. My father gave her a reward. I want to get second place next year too."
Zhou Yiding laughed and rubbed his head, "Why did you choose to get second place instead of first place?"
Zhou Jiakang said confidently: "My sister only ranked second!"
Zhou Yiding: "You are a man, it's impressive that you got first place in the exam!"
Zhou Jiakang shook his head, "My husband said that in my family, the women are all capable, and the men are all henpecked."
Zhou Xiaoqian turned around and gave him a look, "Zhou Jiakang!"
"Sister, I get it." Zhou Jiakang quickly covered his mouth, shrunk his neck and looked at Zhou Xiaoqian who was staring at him. Oh no, his mouth was about to burst again!
Zhou Yiding burst into laughter, and when he saw Zhou Jiakang's look, he clapped his legs and laughed, "Hahahaha... this kid is so funny, hahahaha..."
“……” Zhou Jiakang looked at him resentfully.
Zhou Huaian put the chicken coop away and came back. He glanced at Zhou Yiding and asked, "Did you find any money?"
Zhou Yiding laughed and said, "This kid Jiakang is quite interesting. He said..."
"Quick-tongued woman!" Zhou Huaian rubbed Zhou Jiakang and said to the children, "We've been watching for a long time, go back and eat."
Zhou Xiaoqian looked at him and said, "Dad, did you really buy the pen and Journey to the West for me?"
Zhou Huaian glanced at Zhou Jiaming and his brother and said with a smile: "If you rank in the top three again in the final exam, I will reward you."
"Yes!" Zhou Xiaoqian nodded heavily, holding the pen happily and said to Zhou Jiaming: "Brother, take Journey to the West back and read it. I'm going back to eat."
"..." Zhou Jiaming suddenly felt that Journey to the West was not interesting anymore.
