Chapter 18: Cry to the heavens and the earth for help but no response (2/2)



I don't know if you're joking or not, but you look pretty unreliable.

"Stop digging. Come on, come to my place and we can talk. Sister-in-law can come with you."

Zheng: ...

No need to dig any more mushrooms. Since we have already dug all the mushrooms in the field, my daughter suggested that the two families should have a meeting to discuss what to do.

“Go, go, go!”

Liu Shunzi had no choice but to pull his wife and follow him.

"Uncle, Auntie is here!"

Xiaoyu at Dashu's house seems different than before.

"Shunzi, this is it. You know I can't let the old house know that I make money now, so I have to trouble you and sister-in-law to do this job, and use your reputation."

"What's the big deal? We'll just do it."

"Go back and find the village chief later and tell him you want to buy bamboo shoots. You'll pay one cent per pound. You want young bamboo shoots, not old ones. Or you can chop the old ones yourself, and you must peel the leaves."

"Hey, how much should we pick?" We can't just let them pick them as they please. Can they eat so many bamboo shoots?

“I’ll take as many as I can get.” The girl said that they would be gone after the season, so she would take as many as she could. If she couldn’t sell them, she would pickle them or dry them in the sun. Anyway, he has to do whatever she tells him to do, he is just a tool.

"Are you sure? Can you eat it?"

"Yes, but you and your sister-in-law will have to work harder and do more work."

Farmers are not afraid of hard work. Liu Shunzi thought about it and said embarrassedly, "But Dashu, I don't have money to give him! All the private savings in our family are only twenty or so dollars." With such a small amount of money, there is no limit on the number of bamboo shoots to be collected. What can you do with it?

Silver, hahaha, if you find a rich man, you don’t have to worry about not having money to pay him. His daughter is like a golden doll. She sells medicinal herbs for more than ten taels a day and takes them home. Today she sold cookbooks and made dozens of taels again. He took out five taels of silver from his pocket, which was the money his daughter had just given him. "Take it first. If it's not enough, I'll give you more."

I'm so shocked!

Liu Shunzi fell off the rock with his buttocks, and Zheng almost lost her balance.

After a long while, he asked softly with a trembling voice, "Do you make money by digging herbs?" Did this kid dig ginseng? He heard that ginseng was extremely valuable and that just one root would cost a lot of money when he went to the clinic. Especially the old ones.

"That's right, otherwise, why would my family and I stay in the mountains every day?"

Zhao Dashu stood up straight with his back straight and his chin slightly raised. He felt very proud. Just see, he could scare people into falling to their feet just by taking out some change.

Zhao Xiaoyu watched and couldn't help but lower her eyes. She couldn't bear to watch it anymore.

"You kid, you're a great guy!" Liu Shunzi patted his shoulder and praised him sincerely. Dashu can come up with so much silver, it seems that Sunzi is indeed reliable.

"Of course not!"

Liu Shunzi: Uh, I told you you’re fat and you’re still out of breath!

"Then let's go back now."

"Wait, later I will ask the mother and Xiaoyu to go to your house to help, and I will go too. The two of us will be responsible for collecting the waste, and their daughter will be responsible for removing the astringent smell. We will collect the waste at the door, and no one can enter the yard."

Liu Shunzi understood, "I understand, don't worry, if you want to sell it, you have to follow our rules. The problem is, what about your father?"

"He promised me to rest for ten days. We'll talk about it after ten days."

Seeing his desperate look, Liu Shunzi was silent for a while, then he persuaded him earnestly, "Dashu, we have been brothers for more than 20 years. I tell you from the bottom of my heart, let's separate the family as soon as possible." Otherwise, when the Zhao family has eaten up everything and then kicked them out, that would be the time when no one would respond and the whole family would have to wait to die.

Zhao Dashu looked down at his two strong and beautiful legs, wailing in his heart, I still can't keep them, right?

"Uncle Shunzi, it's not that my father doesn't want to divide the family, it's that grandpa won't let us go."
