To be honest, Zhou Quan's wife was really generous in hiring the oxcart. She provided lunch and gave him 100 coins. He usually only earned 70 or 80 coins a day when he drove a taxi.
However, before Uncle Wuping went home, he reminded Old Man Zhou to install a gate as soon as possible.
Old Man Zhou agreed, saying he was already working on it.
A few days ago, he finalized the deal for the gate with Zhou Lin's former master and now senior apprentice, Zhou Lai Niu. They had just finished the work in Lijia Village the day before yesterday and had already made the gate for his house. They said it would take another two days.
They heard that some houses in the village had been burgled in the past few days, and that things and money had been stolen. Zhao and Old Man Zhou were also worried.
Zhou Quan asked his mother to put all the valuables in the house into his room, saying that they would definitely not be lost.
After thinking it over, Zhao realized that her son was home every day and her daughter-in-law knew martial arts, so they could indeed keep out thieves. Therefore, she put all the money she had in her hands into a wooden box and gave it to Zhou Quan.
Zhou Quan asked Li Mai to help store those items in their space as well, so that even if thieves came, they wouldn't be afraid.
Meanwhile, the Zhou family continued their autumn harvest, cutting wheat and picking corn as needed.
As in the previous days, Li Mai gave Zhou Quan half a bowl of spiritual spring water to drink in the morning and evening, gave Zhou Quan acupuncture in the morning, then went to work in the fields with the Zhou family. After returning in the afternoon and having dinner, she took Zhu Zhu out for a walk for a while, and massaged Zhou Quan's leg muscles before going to bed at night.
For the time being, she no longer had to worry about making money, and her family had enough to eat and wear. She felt relaxed, carefree, and leisurely.
Even when she was doing farm work with the Zhou family, she felt happy.
Zhou Quan's leg still hasn't responded in the past few days, but he has a lot more books to read and has learned quite a bit in the past few days.
Seeing Li Mai come and go happily every day makes him happy too. Now his only hope is that his leg will get better soon.
These past few days, Zhou Chun's wife has gone back to her parents' home, and that night Zhou Chun invited a few of his younger brothers to his house for drinks.
These are the Zhou family members who didn't get involved in this windfall.
"It's infuriating, really. Why wasn't it my ancestor who saved them? Ugh, so useless!" Zhou Erleng cursed his ancestor angrily.
“Who can argue with that? It’s strange, since that thing was buried for fifty years and no one found it, how did it suddenly get found by Zhou Quan’s younger brother?” Zhou Yuan sighed speechlessly.
