Chapter 32: Good Luck



"Hey, why don't you two go catch him and give him a beating?" Niu Dan said cheerfully, "He made your family waste ten eggs for nothing!"

He said this in a completely ridiculous manner.

Ling Lin and Ling Sen glared at him at the same time, then walked towards Wu Gang under the gaze of the others.

Is it time to beat him up?

You want to beat me!

Most of the friends present thought so, and they were waiting for the scene that might happen with excitement and enthusiasm.

This is more exciting than the movie they watch at the village entrance every week.

Wu Gang also thought that these two men were coming to beat him up, and was ready to run away at any time.

Ling Sen curled his lips at Wu Gang's cowardly look and said, "Look at you, you're so scared. What's the matter? I saw you were quite arrogant when you showed off your sister last time!"

It’s no wonder that the twins wanted to beat him together. Wu Gang knew that they wanted a sister but he didn’t have one, yet he showed off in front of them every day.

If it happens once or twice, they will tolerate it, but if it happens too many times, they will no longer be able to tolerate it.

Then he beat him up.

The result is good.

They lost ten eggs and were beaten by their eldest brother.

"I...I, I was wrong...I know I was wrong, isn't that enough..."

Wu Gang was so bold in speaking before because the twins had never fought together before. In addition, although they had fought before, neither of them had ever used such heavy hands.

This time he learned his lesson.

Ling Lin said, "Alright, stop scaring him."

Wu Gang felt goosebumps all over his body when he looked at his house.

If you really want to beat him up, just do it directly. Don't have two people looking at him with the same face...

Really panicked.

Ling Sen scoffed and crossed his arms over his chest: "Alright, do you really think we want to attack you? Stop being so self-indulgent!"

Wu Gang: “…”

This sounded a bit strange, but Ling Lin and Ling Sen actually did not take any action.

The two of them strolled on the river for a while, then turned around and walked home.

???

What are these two brothers doing out today?

Ling Lin and Ling Sen didn't care about what the other guys said. After all, they had completed their mission and could go home now.

Chu Yuefang felt helpless when she saw the twin brothers who had only been out for less than half an hour.

However, looking at the two little kids gathered around the bed, Chu Yuefang felt that the scene was particularly heartwarming.

Forget it.

Why should she force them to go out if they don't want to?

It's a good thing to care for and love your sister.

Chu Yuefang thought so.

In the evening, Ling Hancheng came back from town on his bike and bought a lot of things.

"I was so lucky today! The guy who bought my eggs turned out to be an employee of our county's milk powder factory. I traded ten eggs for a can of milk powder."

Nowadays, people who have things at home sell them secretly. When Ling Hancheng took the eggs there, he happened to meet someone who wanted eggs, and followed the person to his home.

Just as he was about to negotiate the price, Ling Hancheng saw the milk powder in the man's house. He wanted to ask the other party where he could buy the milk powder, but he didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.

That person could get a can of milk powder from their factory every month. He didn't have any children yet, and milk powder was too expensive and hard to sell, so that can had been kept at home for half a month.

Upon hearing that Ling Hancheng wanted it, the other party directly proposed to exchange it for the fifteen eggs that Ling Hancheng brought.

Now, if you sell eggs to the supply and marketing cooperative, they are five cents each, and if you sell them to individuals, they are ten cents each. In fact, these fifteen eggs are worth a little over one dollar at most.

Milk powder is not cheap. The ones Uncle Ling sent before cost several dollars per bag.

Ling Hancheng was really lucky this time.

It’s like buying a can of milk powder for less than two dollars.

It’s really worth it.

"And that guy also said that if I still want milk powder, he can find it for me. Although the price won't be the same, he can come in and help me negotiate and let me exchange eggs!"

If people in the town wanted eggs, they had to get egg coupons to buy them from the supply and marketing cooperative. However, the egg coupons were too few and not enough to eat, and many people wanted eggs.

Chu Yuefang was also very happy to hear this.

"That's great! In that case, let's save all the eggs!"

It seemed like I finally understood why their chickens suddenly laid so many eggs. It seemed like they could use these eggs to exchange for milk powder.

Xiaowu and Xiaolinglong will no longer have to worry about milk powder!

"Then we won't eat eggs anymore!" Ling Sen shouted hurriedly, "We'll save them for milk powder for my sister and Xiaowu!"

The other children nodded as well.

These children also know how hard it is to get milk powder. Now that they finally have a way to buy it, they must save the milk powder!

Ling Hancheng smiled and patted the children's shoulders.

"Okay, I'll listen to you!"

This time he was really lucky. Ling Hanchengdu didn't expect it to be so smooth.

I sold eggs and got milk powder.

Fortunately, I took this trip today.

Afterwards, Ling Hancheng returned the bicycle to Yao Yongbo.

Yao Yongbo said, "Next time, whenever you need it, just come and tell me. It's much faster to go to town by bike, and it doesn't shake your butt."

Ling Hancheng certainly knew that riding a bicycle was comfortable, but Yao Yongbo's bicycle was specially lent to the village heads by the town to make it convenient for them to go to the town for meetings.

If he wasn't afraid that too many people would notice him selling eggs this time, he actually didn't want to trouble Yao Yongbo.

The two of them talked about Zhou Changfu's funeral again.

All the villagers who could help had finally been found. Now Yao Yongbo's only worry was whether those who had had conflicts with Zhou Changfu before would come out to cause trouble during Zhou Changfu's burial.

He specifically told Ling Hancheng about this matter because he thought that Ling Hancheng would have to go there when the time comes. If someone caused trouble, Ling Hancheng could come out to help persuade them.

After all, he is a teacher. In the eyes of many people, he is the intellectual who cannot be offended the most. Otherwise, who will teach those people's children? Now no one wants their children to be illiterate.

Anyone who has children in school at home will definitely give Ling Hancheng some face.

However, Yao Yongbo also knew that bringing up this matter would definitely put Ling Hancheng in a difficult position. After all, Zhou Changfu had done evil things when he was young, so logically speaking, he deserved whatever happened to him now.

But as the village chief, Yao Yongbo had to find a way to bury Zhou Changfu.

Ling Hancheng nodded: "Don't worry, if this is really the case, I will find a way to mediate!"

Yao Yongbo felt a little relieved when he heard his agreement.

I hope nothing unexpected happens on the day of Zhou Changfu's burial...
