Fortunately, General Cui did not.
He didn't even ask where the grenades came from, only that she still had any, and if so, could she sell him some?
Tian Guoguo could not give him the grenade from the space.
At the same time, even though General Cui didn't ask where the grenade came from, she still had to explain it to avoid unnecessary trouble!
But how do you explain it to a small child?
That's obviously speaking like a child.
She said that this was a small homemade mine that an old man taught her to use to blast ice holes and catch fish when she was in her hometown!
If the general wants it, we can make it for him!
But he didn't say he would give him a prescription.
The main problem is that modern hand grenades mostly use processed materials, which didn't exist in this era!
But she knew the principle, so she could try replacing it with something from this era, which should also work!
General Cui was not in a hurry.
He told her to make one first and see if it met his expectations; if it did, he would buy it in bulk.
He didn't say what he was thinking.
But Tian Guoguo understood.
General Cui wanted to test its power; if it could be used against the enemy, he wanted to use it on the front lines.
Tian Guoguo, a former soldier, understood General Cui's feelings perfectly, so she secretly made a decision in her heart...
Except for the first grenade, which she wanted to pay a higher price for, she decided to ask for fewer of the remaining "large quantities"!
Oh, she's such a beautiful and kind-hearted fairy!
As she was reveling in her own world, the carriage finally returned to Anping Village.
It was still dark, and there should have been many children playing at the village entrance, but surprisingly, there wasn't a single one there!
Qian Bao was driving the carriage outside.
Seeing that there weren't many people at the village entrance, he was initially quite curious. He continued driving while talking to Tian Laosan and the others in the car.
The third and second brothers of the Tian family exchanged glances.
Both of them recalled the poisoning incident at Xie's house last night. They figured everyone was afraid of being poisoned and didn't dare to go out!
This explanation sounds quite reasonable.
No one thought about it anymore.
Just as they were about to reach their doorstep, a noisy commotion and shouting suddenly erupted outside the carriage.
Tian Laosan and the others immediately lifted the carriage curtain to take a look.
It turned out to be Xie's three sisters-in-law!
Last night, when the two sisters-in-law of the Xie family found only 10 taels of silver under Ding Zhaodi's cabinet, they felt uneasy.
I held back all morning, but I finally couldn't take it anymore this afternoon!
Xie Erniu's wife asked Ding Zhaodi first, "Sister-in-law, how much money do we have left?"
This is just a test.
Ding Zhaodi didn't think much of it and casually said, "About ten taels!"
After saying that, he suddenly realized the taste was off, so he quickly explained to her, "Didn't your older brother get poisoned last night?"
"The Tian family insists on four taels of silver!"
"I had no choice but to take it out!"
"besides…"
"Hey, they also found out about how we caused trouble for the Tian family, and they're forcing me to pay them six taels!"
"A total of... uh, a total of 10 taels!"
Ding Zhaodi's words sounded like she had a guilty conscience!
Because it was her bad idea to spill oil at the Tian family's house last night, she was afraid that her two sisters-in-law would blame her!
As a result, the two sisters-in-law looked very indifferent.
Xie Erniu's wife continued, "I remember we had 10 taels before we fled the famine, plus the money from selling wolf meat last time..."
"After removing these 10 taels, there should be more than 20 taels left, right?"
That's a pretty good calculation.
When Ding Zhaodi heard this calculation, she suddenly remembered that she had secretly gone to the city the day before yesterday to have a new dress made for herself.
Sigh, she should have said more when she was talking about compensation.
Only in this way can the accounts be reconciled!
But that doesn't matter.
From now on, when she goes out to buy groceries, she can just give a higher bill, and she'll be able to cover it up!
She said, "Oh, maybe I remembered wrong. I've been so busy lately, I'm practically dizzy!"
"I'll go back and take a good look tonight!"
In the past, she had always managed to get away with embezzling public funds in this way, and she thought she could do it again today!
As a result, the two sisters-in-law couldn't get along!
The two men forced her to show them the rest of the money in her house!
Ding Zhaodi had no choice but to bite the bullet and go!
But upon closer inspection…
She almost died on the spot!
She had just counted the oxen last night when she carried them to the Tian family's house, and there were still more than 18 taels left. How come there are still more than 8 taels left now?
etc.
She suddenly remembered that her two sisters-in-law had also paid for the man's treatment the night before, and hurriedly asked them if they had received any money.
The two sisters-in-law declared confidently, "We took 10 taels!"
This was enough to light many more for Ding Zhaodi.
She stood up abruptly, hands on her hips, and demanded, "What did you do with those 10 taels of silver? This is our family's public money! Why didn't you tell me you took it?"
"Don't you even respect me as the head of the household?"
His tone of voice was very aggressive.
The two sisters-in-law immediately lost their friendly demeanor and turned around to question her.
"Of course we'll use the money to save Erniu and Sanniu, but what about you?"
"Even if we took 10 taels, we should still have more than 10 taels left, so how come we only have 8 taels left?"
"Okay, I understand!"
"You've been secretly buying things for yourself behind our backs, haven't you?"
"Sister-in-law, we entrusted you with our money because we trusted you, but you've embezzled it for your own benefit. How can you face us like this?"
Every sentence is a logical statement.
If he were dealing with someone with even a shred of conscience, he would probably wake up and admit his mistake.
Does Ding Zhaodi have a conscience?
Instead of admitting her mistake, she even turned the tables and accused her two sisters-in-law of stealing the money.
The two sisters-in-law were already holding a grudge, and when they heard her slander them like this, they immediately lost their temper.
But at this point, they still held back their last line and didn't fight her; they just argued back.
What do you mean?
"What, you secretly spent the money and now you want to pin the blame on us, huh?"
"I'm telling you, Ding Zhaodi, no way!"
Now they don't even call me "sister-in-law" anymore!
This is clearly disrespectful to Ding Zhaodi, her sister-in-law!
How could Ding Zhaodi tolerate this?
He immediately retorted, "What do you mean?"
"Well, I knew it! So that's why you were forcing me to produce the money today. You had planned this all along to frame me!"
"Trying to be a prostitute while also wanting to maintain a virtuous image, huh?"
"Let me tell you, not a chance!"
"Tell me, where did you put the stolen money? Give it back to me right now!"
As he spoke, he even tried to pull at his two sisters-in-law.
It seems the missing money really was stolen by her two sisters-in-law; she's going to search for the money!
The two sisters-in-law were disgusted by her and slapped her away, angrily about to retort: "You're the bitch!"
Before they could even utter a curse, Ding Zhaodi slapped back the hand that had been pushed away by them!
Because they filmed her, Ding Zhaodi felt that they were ganging up on her, which made her even angrier, so she kicked them!
Her kick finally stirred up a hornet's nest...
How could her two sisters-in-law possibly tolerate her?
She grabbed her left arm and pulled her hair, then grabbed her right arm and slapped her.
Surprisingly, they were quite cooperative.
But Ding Zhaodi is no pushover either!
Although she couldn't move her arms, she could still move her legs. She kicked the two of them haphazardly and even bit them.
