Chapter 388: One Difficulty After Another

The adult chicken did not play by the rules and randomly scared a little dandy to death.

Zong Jincheng went back and pulled him back: "It's OK if you stepped on it, stop crying, the mistake cannot be undone, just be careful next time."

Shen Yibai pouted and said, "Got it, everyone be careful, there are eggs on the ground."

"Got it!" the young boys said in unison.

The five boys carried baskets and started to work. At first they thought it was very dirty to pick up eggs with their hands, but it was really inconvenient to use a towel as a pad, and the eggs were not that dirty, so they gradually got used to it and started to pick them up with their hands.

The chicken coops were separated one by one. Xu Wan and Su Xi watched them pick up the eggs from outside. Since it was their first time and they were not very experienced, the basket He Zheng was carrying was quickly filled. When he bent down to pick up an egg, eggs rolled out of the basket and hit the ground with a loud bang.

"Ah... my eggs!!"

Upon hearing this, the others hurried over to help him fix the small basket.

Wei Xinglu comforted her, "It's okay, it's okay, only three of them were broken, most of the others are fine."

Zong Jincheng soon discovered the trick and quickly reminded his brothers: "When you pick up eggs, you must squat down, don't bend down, otherwise the basket behind you will fall out. Also, although this basket is not big, it is very heavy when full, which affects the speed. We can send it out after filling most of the basket."

"Okay, let's do it this way!" Shen Yibai responded while pushing the chickens that were in the way to the side. "Make way, chicken ancestors, we'll leave once we've picked up all the chickens, we'll leave once we've picked up all the chickens."

At the end of the day, there were already thousands of eggs picked up at the door. Su Xi saw that the number was almost enough, so he did not let them enter the duck house, and ended the experience for the day.

"Finally finished, I'm so tired." Wei Xinglu came out and fell to the ground.

In the past, he complained about the dirty floor, but after spending a day in the chicken coop, he felt that he still hadn’t cleaned the floor yet, so he just started to do whatever he wanted.

He Zheng also fell over and rested his head on his arm, lying weakly, saying, "See, I tell you, studying is the happiest thing in the world."

Zong Wenxiu also came over and replied: "That's right..."

The remaining two also fell down. The five young boys collapsed together. Zong Jincheng was still mumbling, "I'm exhausted. Please carry me to the car, or I'll sleep here tonight."

Shen Yibai closed his eyes and agreed: "That makes sense. No one can pull me away. I want to be carried, hugged, and held..."

Su Xi came over and lightly kicked his foot, teasing, "You still want a hug? You're so old, get up, or you'll stay here tonight and continue picking eggs tomorrow."

These words came like a bolt from the blue.

The boys, who were originally exhausted, suddenly opened their eyes, jumped up high, and ran to the carriage lively.

"Hahahaha..." Su Xi's laughing voice echoed throughout the farmhouse, like a big devil.

Xu Wan shook her head with laughter. She waited beside the carriage and arranged for someone to wash their hands and faces. She also took out new clothes that had been prepared in advance and asked them to change into them in the carriage.

After such a torment, most of the brats were killed, but they were still lying on the windows and the walls of the carriage, wailing that today was a miserable day...

But what they didn't expect was that tomorrow would be even worse.

The next day.

Zong Jincheng sat in the carriage and leaned out to ask, "Shunzi, where are we going? We have been in the carriage for a long time, why haven't we arrived yet? Isn't the city gate in front of us? Are we going to the suburbs of Beijing again?"

He Zheng also leaned over to the window and asked, "Mr. Su, do you want to take us to pick eggs again?"

Shunzi shook his head and replied, "I don't know either. Mr. Su didn't tell me."

Zong Jincheng gritted his teeth and retreated back into the carriage, saying, "This weird old man must be up to no good. I don't know how he's going to deal with us."

Zong Wenxiu patted him on the shoulder and consoled him, "Jincheng, don't overthink it. Mr. Su is doing this for our own good. Look at how good the poem we wrote yesterday was. Even my aunt praised us."

When Zong Jincheng heard his mother's words, he curled his lips and said, "I have made progress, but I am so tired and annoyed every day. When will this weird old man pass away? Why does it take another month..."

He Zheng said weakly: "I think that in a month, even if we cannot become great poets, we will definitely not have this shortcoming in poetry anymore."

Shen Yibai chuckled and said, "That's really annoying. This old man's class is designed to torture us. He's not as good as our auntie at all. We were always happy when our auntie taught us!"

Wei Xinglu also nodded repeatedly and said, "It would be better if Auntie could compose poems for us. Then we don't need to learn from Mr. Su. It's too cruel for us."

The little devil concluded: "My mother is still the best..."

The carriage swayed for two hours before finally arriving at the destination.

"Young masters, we're here."

The five young boys got off the car and were completely confused by the scene in front of them. This was not a farmhouse but more like a market, with chickens, ducks, fish, meat and vegetables all for sale.

In the other two carriages, Su Xi and Xu Wan got off and instructed the servants to put down all the eggs picked yesterday in baskets. The five young boys suddenly felt something was wrong.

He Zheng stuttered, "Why did the egg come with you? Didn't it stay in the farmhouse yesterday?"

Su Xi came over with a smile and said, "Of course I have to buy back the eggs I picked with great effort. The eggs in the farmhouse are cheap, and I can make twice as much money by reselling them. Do you understand how to do business?"

Zong Jincheng's mouth twitched as he said, "Then let the servants take it and sell it. Bring it to us to fuck... you! You don't want us to sell your eggs, do you?!"

The little devil's eyes widened instantly. He had probably thought of countless kinds of torturous farm work, but he had never expected this one!

Shen Yibai's head shook like a wave drum: "Impossible? We are the sons of a noble family, how could we possibly sell eggs? If my father and grandfather knew about this, they would be so disgraced that they would be thrown into disgrace!"

Su Xi chuckled and said proudly, "So I specially found a place thirty miles away for you to sell eggs. No one in the suburbs of Beijing knows you, so don't worry."

Five young boys: “!!”

Don't worry about it!!

Damn it! They were indeed asked to come here to sell eggs. This weird old man just wants to beat them to death.

The four little dandies were filled with grief and anger. They were too embarrassed to move at all.

It was Zong Wenxiu who persuaded them, "It's okay, it's okay. This is much easier. At least it's not dirty and it's not tiring. The market is just ahead. We can just take the eggs over there."
