Yao Xiujuan waited for the father and daughter to calm down before continuing, "Why? Is it really only two hundred yuan or a hundred kilograms of fine grain?"
Chu Tian put Wu Ya down and shook his head slightly, "No, that was the request at the beginning, but now it seems to have changed..."
He paused and looked at Yao Xiujuan's nervous expression, then quickly comforted her, "But don't worry, whether it's money or food, I'm here for you!"
"I'll wait until we get accurate information and then send friendly forces over."
"But··"
Seeing Yao Xiujuan still looking worried, Chu Tian couldn't help but burst out laughing. "Oh, why are you worrying so much? Even if my parents don't have that much money, we have money at home. It's okay if I pay for it when the time comes!"
"Have you forgotten that when the family was divided, we got more than 600 yuan, and Third Brother compensated us with another 1,000 yuan, and Mother gave us 200 yuan. These alone make up more than 1,800 yuan!"
"Besides, I still have a few hundred dollars from the last two earnings..."
Yao Xiujuan looked at Chu Tian's confident eyes and nodded helplessly, "Okay, I understand."
Chu Tian nodded, "By the way, let's just have something to eat at noon. Weiguo will come to help us move after he finishes his meal, and then make something delicious in the evening..."
There weren't many things to begin with, and with Sun Weiguo driving the carriage, he was able to move all the things from Chu Tian's house in two trips.
Sun Weiguo swiftly helped put the stove in place. After shaking it, he felt it was still a little unstable, so he shouted to Chu Tian who was moving the table, "Brother Tian, the ground is uneven, the stove is a little unstable here..."
Chu Tian looked sideways and saw that Sun Weiguo had only touched the stove lightly, causing it to sway back and forth. After a moment's thought, he said, "Wait a minute, I'll use my machete to smooth the dirt on the ground..."
"Huh, it's finally done..."
Chu Wen was behind the door of the main hall at this time. He looked at Chu Tian through the crack of the door with a gloomy look as he saw Chu Tian walking out with Wu Ya in one hand and Yao Xiujuan's waist in the other. He spoke after a while.
"Mom, the fourth brother's family has moved away."
Liu Zhaodi was sewing shoe soles. Upon hearing this, she paused and said without looking up, "Just leave. Out of sight, out of mind..."
Chu Wen gnashed his teeth. He had never suffered such a big loss in his life. He thought to himself that Chu Tian must not fall into his hands in the future, otherwise...
On the other side, Ma Cuihua pulled Chu Jun and insisted, "Chu Jun, tell me the truth. How much money did you divide the night before the family division?"
Chu Jun stood up impatiently. "One hundred and thirty-six, didn't I give it all to you? Why are you still asking?"
Ma Cuihua narrowed her eyes, "Why do I feel that it can't be that little..."
Chu Jun felt extremely guilty, but he still pretended to be calm and said, "That's it. If you don't believe me, go ask Mom!"
"Besides, how can one hundred and thirty-six be considered too little? When Sun Dazhu's family divided up their assets this year, each family only received a little over twenty yuan. They didn't think it was too little..."
Ma Cuihua, "..."
Chu Jun put on his dog-skin hat and said angrily, "Hey, we're moving today, I'll go take a look..."
Having said that, he pushed the door open and left without waiting for Ma Cuihua's reaction. When he walked out of the room, Chu Jun's heart was still beating wildly. This was the first time he had ever told a lie. It was really scary!
However, thinking about the money he had received at that time, he didn't know why he didn't want to spend it all on Ma Cui, but he didn't know where to put it. After thinking about it, he gave the five hundred yuan and the gold bar to Chu Tian and asked him to help keep it.
Although Chu Tian was a little surprised at the time, he still promised to keep it safe for him and even asked him to write a guarantee or something, but he trusted Chu Tian and didn't let him write it.
When Chu Jun arrived at Chu Tian's house, Yao Xiujuan was already cooking. Seeing Chu Jun coming, she hurriedly invited him in and called out.
"Brother Tian, Big Brother is here..."
Upon hearing this, Chu Tian hurried out. Seeing Chu Jun standing there stiffly, he smiled and invited him in. "Brother, come in quickly. Wei Guo is here too. It's just right that we can have a drink together tonight."
Chu Jun waved his hands and was about to retreat, "No, no, I'll just see if you've packed up, I'll leave now..."
Chu Tian hurriedly pulled him back, "Hey, why are you leaving? This is my brother's warming meal, big brother has to stay and eat with us no matter what..."
As he spoke, he ignored his struggle and pulled him into the inner room. At the same time, he did not forget to say to Yao Xiujuan who was preparing the meal, "Xiujuan, make more food. Big brother will stay and eat with us."
Yao Xiujuan, "Oh, I understand..."
"hiss··"
Chu Jun took a sip of wine, his tone filled with confusion, "Oh my god, how come our good days suddenly turned out like this..."
Chu Tian raised an eyebrow, his tone tinged with sarcasm, "A good life? Big brother, do you really think the life before was good? Every year, the food and money you worked hard to earn were given to others, while you and your wife and daughter could only eat bran and pickled vegetables every day and wear clothes with layers of patches. Are you really willing to accept this?"
Chu Jun was stunned for a moment, and answered stupidly, "But, but my family doesn't eat bran or pickled vegetables..."
“·····”
Chu Tian's breath got stuck in his throat, and he was almost pissed to death by the Chu army.
Sun Weiguo couldn't help but chuckled when he heard this. Seeing Chu Tian looking at him, he waved his hands and said, "Tian, Brother Tian, continue, continue..."
Looking at Chu Jun's innocent expression, which looked as if he was not lying, Chu Tian felt like he was about to have a heart attack. He took several deep breaths before continuing to speak.
"Brother, that's just a metaphor. Do you understand?"
Chu Jun, "Huh?"
Chu Tian rolled his eyes helplessly, "Brother, anyway, I'm here to give you some good advice. You should have less dealings with certain people in the future, and it's best not to let mother continue to manage the household. Otherwise, to put it bluntly, your family will become free long-term workers for certain people in the future..."
“····”
Chu Jun felt that what Chu Tian said was a bit harsh, but he didn't know how to refute it.
Chu Tian put on his clothes and walked out to the outside. He said to Yao Xiujuan, who was still eating with Wu Ya in her arms, "Xiujuan, you should go to bed early after you finish eating. I'll see Big Brother and Wei Guo off..."
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiujuan quickly stood up and said, "Brother, Weiguo, I'll see you off too..."
Chu Jun smiled innocently and waved his hands, "Sister-in-law, you don't have to see us off. Come and eat. You've been cooking for us and you haven't eaten..."
Sun Weiguo also smiled and waved, "Sister-in-law, we are leaving. See you next time, Wu Ya."
Upon hearing this, Yao Xiujuan quickly signaled Wu Ya to call for help. Wu Ya reacted immediately and sweetly called out, "Uncle, Uncle Weiguo, see you next time..."
Chu Tian and Sun Weiguo first sent Chu Jun to the gate of the old Chu family, and then the two of them slowly walked towards the Sun family in the moonlight.
"Brother Tian, do you have something to say to me?"
Chu Tianle was happy, "How did you know?"
Sun Weiguo scratched his face. "It's obviously closer to my home from the educated youth center, but I sent Brother Chu Jun first..."
