As the woman walked to the door, she was still cursing and saying, "You two good-for-nothings can live with your useless father in this run-down house."
"Hmph, I'm not playing along."
Granny Xu was so angry upon hearing this that her hands trembled.
He looked at his eldest son and shouted angrily, "I told you before that she wasn't a good woman, but you wouldn't listen and insisted on marrying her."
I've known for a long time that she likes rich men, even if they're older than her.
This kind of woman is not capable of a peaceful life.
As soon as Granny Xu finished speaking, Old Man Xu came out from the inner room.
"Alright, boss, why don't you hurry up and go after them?"
She's a mother of two, after all; we can't just let those two children lose their mother!
Old Mrs. Xu glared fiercely at her husband: "Let's see who dares to go today. That kind of woman can leave if she wants."
How many times has this happened? I heard Xiao Cui say before that this damned woman is flirting with other men outside.
What's the use of a woman like this? She's unfaithful to her husband, doesn't love her children, and is disrespectful to her in-laws. Why would anyone want to bring such a woman home and treat her like royalty?
The old man, glared at by his wife, dared not utter another word and stood timidly to the side.
After venting her anger, Old Mrs. Xu called her family to go outside together.
Immediately afterwards, the two households mobilized and scooped up a whole basket of bloodworms, which were then tightly covered with cloth to prevent them from escaping.
Both families were a little uneasy, since it was a restaurant owned by the young princess.
We finally arrived at the restaurant, and saw that it was a five-star restaurant.
The restaurant has three floors, and most importantly, it looks very stylish, with all the windows made of glass.
There were many colorful lights outside, making the inside brightly lit.
It looked absolutely magnificent, and you could clearly see people cleaning on the second floor from the outside.
There are two big trees at the entrance, and they are covered with fairy lights.
It's still daytime, so the lights in the trees aren't on yet.
Two men dressed in strange clothes were standing at the door.
The two families stood at the door for a long time, not daring to go in, because they had never seen that kind of ground before.
The main problem is that the ground was so clean you could see your reflection in it; if you stepped on it, you'd probably leave a muddy footprint.
"What are you doing, ladies?"
At this moment, a man at the door looked at the two old women, hesitating as if he had something to say but dared not come in.
"Oh, it's like this, today a young girl told us to catch these red worms and bring them to this restaurant."
We weren't sure if that young girl was the manager's daughter, so we came specifically to ask if they still wanted her.
They didn't dare say they had grabbed two cup baskets directly, in case it was just a misunderstanding or someone deliberately tricked them, then they wouldn't be able to say for sure.
Upon hearing this, the man nodded repeatedly. The manager had just said that someone might come to deliver red worms later, and he could take them to the kitchen.
"Yes, I will."
The man looked at the large baskets carried on the backs of the two old women; the bloodworms were probably inside.
Although I don't understand why the person in charge said we need to collect red worms?
But these men just need to follow orders; nothing else is their concern.
"Okay, we've brought it over."
"Please come in."
He then led the group into the kitchen.
As they stepped onto the smooth floor, they were all filled with trepidation.
The two old women were terrified when they looked back and saw their footprints on the floor.
"Well, let's not go in then."
"Just take this to the kitchen; they can give you whatever money they want."
At that moment, a very well-dressed young woman pushed a machine over.
"You can go ahead without worry. This floor is just for people to walk on. It will be clean after the machine passes over it."
To the surprise of these people, they saw the little girl push something that reached up to her belly around behind them.
The ground, which had previously been covered with footprints, was instantly clean.
Suppressing my curiosity and not daring to say much, I went to the kitchen, where the staff weighed me.
One of them carried 65 jin (32.5 catties), and the other carried 72 jin (36 catties).
Old Mrs. Xu paid 325 coins for 65 jin (approximately 325 kg) at five coins per jin.
The Wang family carried 72 jin (36 catties) and were paid a total of 360 wen (0.5 yuan).
The two families simply stared blankly at the person in charge.
"Um, did you miscalculate this much silver?"
The two old ladies had originally thought that these things were the least valuable, and that it would be good if they could get a penny for a few pounds.
It's only five coins a pound!
"Don't worry, the price is correct. Our little princess said it's called lobster."
Yes, it's edible. Just break open the shell and you can eat the meat inside. It tastes pretty good.
We'll take as many as we need from now on. Next time you come, just come in through the back door, and there's a waiter here who'll weigh the lobsters.
They're all five coins a pound, but don't bring the really small ones.
"Okay, okay."
Neither family knew how they left the restaurant; they only felt as if they were floating.
In no time at all, he had more than half a tael of silver in his hands.
Moreover, the key point is that we need as much as we have.
Grandma Wang's youngest son suddenly shouted, "Oh my goodness, we have to make as much as possible before anyone knows!"
Everyone on the street turned around and stared at him like he was crazy.
"Can you just shut up for a second?"
The two families went back and, under the scorching sun, picked up bloodworms by the river.
Some villagers passing by looked at these two households as if they were idiots.
"What's the point of picking this up? Aren't you afraid of getting your hands pinched?"
One of the old men passed by and greeted Old Man Xu.
"Brother, hurry back and call Da Shui and the others over, catch the red worms."
"What's the use of catching bloodworms?"
Old Xu approached his older brother and whispered, "This thing can be sold, and it can fetch a good amount of silver!"
The old man's eyes lit up when he heard this.
But then I thought, these red worms are everywhere, how come I've never heard of them being sold for money?
Could it be that my younger brother has been scammed?
"Second brother, you've probably been scammed, haven't you? These red worms are everywhere, and I've never heard of them being sold for money."
"Oh my, would I lie to you? I just came back from selling silver, more than 300 coins, and I carried a basket of it over there."
Princess, what's the name of that newly opened restaurant? It's the five-star restaurant.
"Quickly call Da Shui and Er Shui over; they'll come with us to sell some more later."
The old man understood what his younger brother meant.
I know my own brother's character well; he wouldn't speak carelessly, but I still find it hard to believe.
A basket of bloodworms can sell for more than 300 coins! My goodness, with so many bloodworms, wouldn't that make you rich?
He hurried home, eager to catch up with this incredible fortune.
