Chapter 250 238: No
He remembered that he went to the grove to get money yesterday afternoon, but he was followed by Wang Chunhua. When he saw Wang Chunhua grabbing Ye Xiaoshuang and saying that the money was his, he took the opportunity to say that Ye Xiaoshuang still owed him a hundred yuan.
I didn't expect that I would end up losing more than I gained, and even lost the fifty dollars. I don't know why I've been so unlucky recently, no matter what I do, nothing goes well.
Zhou Huaian turned his head and looked at him calmly, "It's your freedom to take whatever you want. I have nothing to do with you anymore."
You are a shameless person. Every time you do something wrong, it is someone else's fault. You are in your forties. You can't do anything if someone points a knife at you.
Cai Ermei gritted her teeth and said, "Youngest brother, don't say that. We grew up together. I may not do well in some areas, but I have never complained to my brothers, right?" Then she looked at Zhou Yiding and said, "Dingding Cat, you are right, right?"
Zhou Yiding glanced at the two of them and said, "Second sister, since the youngest one doesn't want to reconcile, I think we should just forget it!"
Cai Ermei didn't expect Zhou Yiding to say this, and said sheepishly: "Really, I regretted not stopping Xiaoshuang from collecting eels. I thought I would find a chance to explain to him, but I didn't expect the youngest to react so strongly."
Zhou Huaian turned his head and looked at the hand holding the back seat, "Let go!"
Cai Ermei suppressed her anger and laughed with gritted teeth, "Youngest brother, I was wrong before. Please forgive me this time. Can we work together to collect herbs in the future?"
"No!" Zhou Huaian refused flatly, looking at him sarcastically, "It's really hard for you to be so humble. Your back teeth are almost broken, right?"
Cai Ermei's expression changed immediately, and she looked at him gloomily, "I advise you not to be too proud!"
Zhou Huaian looked at him coldly, "Come on, whatever you want to do, I'm not afraid of you!" Then he turned his head and looked at Zhou Yiding, "Ding Ding Cat, let's go!"
Zhou Yiding nodded to Cai Ermei and followed her.
Cai Ermei watched the two people walk away, and walked back cursing under her breath.
Zhou Yiding looked back and said, "Youngest brother, how did Cai Ermei become like this?"
Zhou Huaian said calmly: "No matter what he becomes, it has nothing to do with me."
"Yes, it's better to avoid such people." Zhou Yiding thought of the fifty yuan he lent him, "I'm afraid the money I lent him is all gone."
"You are too embarrassed to ask him for it, so just consider it a lesson!"
Zhou Huaian rode his bike to Zhou Yiding's house and left his bike there. The two of them walked along the path up the mountain and looked around, and found that all the slightly better barren mountain land had been contracted out to someone.
Zhou Yiding was surprised and said, "My god, one or two of them are working harder than cows."
"Don't you think about it? The slogan now is whoever reclaims the wasteland will benefit. The land you reclaim will always be yours. You don't have to pay for the first six years, and you only pay a few dollars per acre after that. The contract fee for 100 acres can be earned back by selling some herbs."
Zhou Yiding nodded repeatedly, "You are right, think about it, where else is suitable?"
"There is another one!" Zhou Huaian slapped his head and looked at him and said, "The day before yesterday when I was digging yellow mud on the mountain, I heard my eldest brother say that his family's barren mountain used to have dozens of acres."
Zhou Yiding thought for a moment and said, "I know. Is it the one across the ravine?"
Zhou Huaian nodded, "Right, that's it. Shall we go check it out tomorrow morning?"
"Yes, take care of the wasteland tomorrow, and we'll go up the mountain in the afternoon." Zhou Yiding said, pulling him aside and pointing at the papayas in the vegetable field in front. "Youngest, are they still being distributed to Xu Hongbing's family?"
"It's his! I still remember when I was a kid, I picked a papaya from his house and was chased by his mother in the bamboo forest for several rounds. I was almost bitten by a bamboo snake."
"I was chased away by that damn old woman too!" Zhou Yiding winked at him, "Get some and bring them up the mountain to stew the ribs?"
Zhou Huaian looked at his legs and said, "If Granny Xu catches up with you later, will you be able to run away?"
"Don't worry, I can beat her half the mountain." Zhou Yiding said as he walked towards the papaya tree.
Zhou Huaian had no choice but to follow him when they were almost at the edge of the vegetable field. He suddenly squatted down and looked at the yard of Xu Hongbing's house below. Seeing that there was no one there, he hunched over and ran over quickly.
Just as the two men grabbed a green and yellow papaya and were about to start, they heard the voice of Mrs. Xu cursing from the bottom of the mountain: "What short-lived son of a bitch, you are so tall and strong, yet you still steal..."
When the two men saw Mrs. Xu running up the mountain, they broke off the papayas and ran away.
After going down the mountain, the two looked at each other, looked at the papayas in their hands, and burst into laughter.
Zhou Huaian stuffed the papaya into his hand and said, "It's getting dark. I'll go back first."
Zhou Yiding held two papayas in his arms and said, "Go back quickly, or the mountain king will come and snatch you as his son-in-law again!"
"Bah!" Zhou Huaian kicked him and went back home through the small road. When he got home, he remembered that his bicycle was still at Zhou Yiding's house.
The old man waved at him and said, "When you went to your mother-in-law's house this time, did your brother-in-law give you a cold look?"
Zhou Huaian nodded with a smile, "Of course, where can I find such a good brother-in-law!"
"Shame on you!" The old man smiled and patted him.
Zhou Huaian told the old man that the Yang family was planning to grow herbs in addition to the fruit trees. "Grandpa, my father-in-law and my eldest brother-in-law both said that growing herbs should be profitable."
When the old man heard him say that he wanted to use the whole piece of land to grow herbs, he was still a little hesitant. "Don't think that wild herbs are really easy to grow. Once you start, you will know how difficult it is."
Zhou Huaian smiled and said, "Didn't you say before that everything is difficult at the beginning? Once you get started, just do it slowly."
The old man looked at him and said, "Since you have decided to grow herbs, you have to do it well for me. Don't just leave it there halfway and make a fool of yourself!"
Zhou Huaian patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, your grandson is very smart. He learned to drive a tractor in just one day and plowed seven or eight acres of land!"
The old man looked at him in surprise, "Did you really learn it?"
Zhou Huaian looked smug, "Don't you believe me? How about you come with me into the city and drive back on the fifteenth of next month?"
The old man nodded happily, "Not bad, not bad, your kid has a good brain, but he just didn't use it in the right way before!"
Zhou Huaian scratched his head and changed the subject, "Why did you come back so early today?"
"The kiln was sealed last night, and the bricks are ready. We are just waiting to open the kiln and load the bricks."
"It's time to eat." Zhou's mother and Yang Chunyan came over with food, "Old man, today we stewed bone vermicelli."
"Big bone vermicelli is good." The old man said as he stood up and walked towards the main room.
Zhou Huaishan patted Zhou Huaian and said, "Are you going to Ning'an tomorrow morning?"
"You should go! I'll accompany Ding Ding Cat to look at the barren mountain tomorrow morning, and then we'll go up the mountain to dig herbs after we've seen enough."
“Yes!”
After dinner, when a few people sat around choosing dishes to send to Ning An the next morning, they heard Li Qiuyue and others talking about Cai Ermei and Ye Xiaoshuang. Only then did Zhou Huaian understand why Cai Ermei was so humble to please him.
After the two returned to the house, Yang Chunyan put away the money she had earned from selling herbs today, and Zhou Huaian came in with hot water.
"Huaian, where are we going to find herbs tomorrow?"
"Tomorrow afternoon..." Zhou Huaian told her about his and Zhou Yiding's plan.
"Yeah!" Yang Chunyan had just taken off her vest and bent down to pick up the handkerchief from the basin when he took it over...
