Chapter 15 Deathly Silence (2/2)



"Money, is that all you have left?"

Only Old Man Zhao looked at the string of money in his pocket in disbelief. He was completely dazed. It was difficult for farmers to make money at the beginning of the year.

How come it's so easy nowadays...

Old Man Zhao’s view of wealth collapsed.

"Dad, are you okay?" Zhao Dazhu asked.

Old Man Zhao closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and knelt down on the ground. Zhao Dazhu was frightened and jumped away quickly. Only then did he realize that the place where Old Man Zhao was kneeling was the place of his ancestral grave in Hexi Village.

"May our ancestors bless us."

"Dad, if our ancestors were effective, our family wouldn't have been poor for generations..."

"Shut up, you unfilial son."

Zhao Taohua looked at the funny couple and said, "Dad, you and Mom won't have to worry anymore. With money, my eldest brother can get married again, and my third and fourth brothers won't be single anymore."

"Why are you saying this, Third Sister?" Zhao Dazhu blushed inexplicably.

Zhao Taohua was even more amused and confused. She was already thirty years old, but she was actually blushing.

"Taohua is right."

Only then did Old Man Zhao recover. "From now on, the Zhao family will depend on you."

"It depends on everyone."

Zhao Taohua knew very well that in ancient times, if she did not have her father and brothers to protect her, no matter how many ways she had to make money, it would be in vain.

After buying the wooden barrels and other rice and flour supplies, the three members of the Zhao family quickly returned home.

After all, I still have to prepare ice jelly in the afternoon and be busy at the dinner market.

After returning home, the other pillars also had a great harvest of wild vegetables, and the whole family was filled with joy.

Yesterday's unpleasantness had long been forgotten.

Soon it was evening.

This time, all the elders of the Zhao family squeezed onto the ox cart.

Zhao Taohua was stunned: "Mom and Dad, aren't there too many of us?"

Old Lady Zhao grinned. "Not much. Just the three of you, your father, and I, and the others are all gone."

The other pillars were a little resentful. We also wanted to do business, but we hadn't had enough fun yet, and now two people came to rob us.

Zhao Yuzhu said, "Let me go with Sanzhu. You old people, weak women and children, what are you going to do if you run into hooligans or robbers while collecting so much money?"

Father Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly, "It's okay. When your mother is at full power, she can easily defeat everyone by herself."

"Dad, how do you know?"

"Don't ask."

In the end, Zhao Zhu was still worried. After all, it would be dark when they came back at night, and it would be unsafe, so he squeezed in as well.

Only Niu was increasingly confused about what the Zhao family was doing. They said they were doing business in the morning, but now they were doing it at night too? And why were they bringing so many people? Could they really make back the money they paid for the ride?

The Zhao family is weird.

The weather in the evening market is not so hot anymore, and the weather is not so hot anymore. The evening market is indeed more lively than the daytime, but now their ice jelly is only ten cents a bowl.

This made Zhao Taohua feel a little uneasy.

Whether it is a mule or a horse, they always have to be taken out for a walk. As soon as they got to a place, Zhao Taohua and Old Lady Zhao started to sell their goods with all their might, while Old Man Zhao would just stay away and look for an opportunity to act as a peddler.

Sure enough, when ordinary people heard the price of ten cents, they were a little hesitant. Ten cents could buy a bowl of noodles, but this bowl of cold drink was indeed a bit expensive.
