Chapter 81: Collect the light, collect the light, collect all the light (2/2)



"Come on, wait until we're done before playing."

"Lihua is so good."

Zhao Xiaoyu watched her cheap dad fooling the little girl and making big promises for her. When he was done, it snowed heavily and it was time to hibernate. What a waste of time!

But the little kid doesn’t know. Look how happy she is. Well, ignorance is bliss.

“Woof woof woof…”

Zhao Dashu looked at the sun above his head. At this hour, it was still too early for the deliverymen to arrive. Who was coming?

"Second brother?"

"Third brother."

"What's up?"

Zhao Dayong looked at Zhao Dashu, then at the room behind him, and suddenly felt a little inferior. He seemed to be the worst among the three brothers.

He shook his head and said, "No, that's not right. No matter how rich the third brother is, he will never have any descendants. When he dies, all his things will belong to them."

"Tomorrow is Mid-Autumn Festival. Dad wants you to bring your whole family home for dinner."

Oh, there’s a show to watch!

"Xiao, thank you, second brother."

Zhao Dayong was very dissatisfied with the way the third brother treated his guests. He stood at the door and didn't even invite Zhao Dayong in to have a bowl of water. He just drove him away.

The third brother is still as brainless as ever and does things as he pleases.

He didn't understand. He was obviously the smartest and most scheming of the three brothers, but why was it that his family was the one having the hardest life now?

Mid-Autumn Festival.

Zhao Xiaoyu got up at dawn and said, "Mom, I'm going to the county town first."

"Come back early and change into new clothes before going to your grandma's house."

"knew."

Dad wanted to show off.

He took a shortcut to the forest, changed into men's clothes, and came to the yard where Boss Song lived. After making sure that no one was around and covering his face, he knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

“Knock, knock, knock!”

The woman opened the door, but before she could react, Zhao Xiaoyu quickly stepped forward, covered her mouth and nose tightly with a piece of cloth prepared in advance, and then dragged her into the yard.

The cloth was stained with a powerful knockout drug, and in the blink of an eye, the woman's legs went limp and she fainted on the ground.

Zhao Xiaoyu threw the man to the ground and without delaying for a moment, quickly ran to the yard. Time was running out, she had to race against time to search and leave quickly. Speaking of which, the cheap uncle's house is really nice!

In the study, there are at least dozens of books on one bookshelf. Ancient books are expensive, and these are worth at least a few taels of silver. If she could collect the bookshelves as well, if space was not limited, she would really like to collect all of them as far as she could see.

Writing brushes, ink, paper, inkstone, desk, eight-immortal table, food, vegetables and meat, iron pots, clothes, quilts... She also received some jewelry from Wang Shi's and Zhao Ru's hearts. In particular, under the bed in Wang's room, there was a box containing not only jewelry but also fifteen taels of silver.

She didn't expect that her cheap uncle was so wealthy. How did he make money? Did my aunt sell herself?

After a thorough search, Zhao Xiaoyu clapped her hands. She had reaped a great harvest. Zhao Dawen's house had basically become an empty shell.

Looking at the full space, she didn't stay any longer and quickly slipped out of the yard to buy vegetables.

The market was bustling with activity as it was the festival season, with people coming and going, and the sounds of hawking and laughter could be heard one after another.

I first went to the pastry shop and bought two pounds of mung bean cakes and lotus cakes, two chickens, five pounds of pork belly, five pounds of spare ribs, two big carps, and candied haws. As it was getting late, I went home. Passing by a steamed bun shop, I bought fifty meat buns and fifty steamed buns. The meat buns had a thin skin and large fillings. When you take a bite, the juice overflows; the steamed buns had a crispy skin and a fragrant aroma.

She thought that when she was busy, these things could fill her stomach and serve as a meal.

Looking at the sky, it was already late. If she delayed any longer, it would be too late. She hurried back. Thinking of her uncle's expression when he came home at night and saw the empty house, she couldn't help but smile: "Uncle must be very surprised when he comes home at night."
