Collect the dried mushrooms, seal them tightly and put them in the warehouse.
Shen Yunzhao counted and found that there were 310 kilograms of dried red mushrooms, 302 kilograms of dried mixed mushrooms, and 586 kilograms of dried porcini mushrooms.
There are quite a few of them.
"Pick some more mushrooms this month. Starting next month, you won't need to pick any more except those sent to Xingguang and Huahui," Cheng Shaoyuan suggested.
They don't need too many mushrooms, after all, they don't plan to open a shop.
"Okay."
Shen Yunzhao also felt that there was no need to dry so many mushrooms, as it took up too much space and was too time-consuming.
She plans to use the saved time to do other work.
Before it got dark, the two entered the dense forest.
"Is this a beehive?"
Cheng Shaoyuan's words suddenly rang out, and Shen Yunzhao walked over to take a look. On a large horizontally growing tree, a huge beehive was hanging upside down on the tree like a triangle.
The diameter of the beehive is at least 2 meters long, and densely packed black bees are flying in and out of the hive, making a constant buzzing sound.
"With such a big hive, there must be at least millions of bees!" Cheng Shaoyuan exclaimed.
“Maybe there really is.”
Shen Yunzhao stretched out her hand, and a bee flew into her palm and quickly flew away.
Cheng Shaoyuan's heart tightened when he saw this. "Are you okay? Did the bee sting you?"
"No, they won't hurt me."
Shen Yunzhao replied with a smile. When the bee flew into her palm just now, she could feel its intimacy.
Yes, intimate.
It was as if the bees treated her as one of their own kind, and a very good one at that.
"Brother Yuan, I want to get some honey."
"This..." Cheng Shaoyuan looked at the dense swarm of bees with a bit of worry, "Let's just forget it! There are so many bees, it would be troublesome if one gets stung."
"No."
Shen Yunzhao stepped forward, and just as she stretched out her hand, the bees that were originally attached to the hive scattered, revealing the yellow honeycomb inside.
Shen Yunzhao picked up the knife and cut a piece of honey about the size of a mobile phone at the edge.
After harvesting, she put the honey into a basket and wrapped it with clean leaves.
"Let's go."
The two of them went home.
…
It was time for dinner, but Shen Fugui had not returned yet.
Shen Yunzhao asked, "Mom, where's Dad? Why hasn't he come back yet?"
"I don't know." Zhou Xiuqin got angry when Shen Fugui was mentioned, and there was impatience in her voice.
"Who cares if he eats it or not? If he doesn't want to eat it, forget it!"
Shen Yunzhao didn't take her words seriously, "I'll call Dad."
"No need to fight! He has plenty of treats, no need to go home for dinner."
Under Zhou Xiuqin's insistence, Shen Yunzhao had to give up the call.
The four of them ate their meal, and no one spoke. Even Yaoyao, who was always noisy, was much more well-behaved today.
Before they finished their meal, the door was pushed open and Shen Fugui walked in angrily.
Seeing the whole family here, he cursed, "Zhou Xiuqin, what do you mean? You've completely embarrassed me!"
Zhou Xiuqin didn't even frown and continued to eat while sitting there.
Seeing this, Shen Fugui became even angrier, slamming the table and yelling, "How dare you ask Shen Fuguo for money? In front of so many people, you are shameless, but I still want more!"
Zhou Xiuqin put down her chopsticks and sneered, "You still have the nerve? Do you know what people outside say about you? They say you're a sucker, pretending to be rich when you don't have any, and trying to be rich."
Being told this to his face, Shen Fugui's face turned even redder. "How did I become the one being taken advantage of?"
"Ha! Shen Fuguo tricked me into paying over 1,800 yuan for nothing. Not only did you not ask him for the money, but you came home and scolded me. If not you, who else is the one who got taken advantage of?"
"Who said I won't ask him for money? I'll ask him for it soon!"
"After a while? How many times has Shen Fuguo asked you to pay? Have you ever asked him for it?"
Shen Fugui was instantly speechless and stood there without saying a word.
Seeing this, Zhou Xiuqin became even more impatient. "Let me ask you, how many times have you paid Shen Fuguo? How much did you pay in total?"
Shen Fugui opened his mouth but didn't say anything.
He didn't remember how many times he paid, but he knew it was no less than ten times.
As for the total number, he had never counted it, so how could he know?
But soon, he shouted, "Is this the right time to say this? You shouldn't ask for money in front of so many people. It's so embarrassing! You should find a place where there's no one around so everyone can save face."
Zhou Xiuqin sneered again, "If I don't say it in front of everyone, will Shen Fuguo return the money to you?"
“…”
"At that time, in order to avoid paying back the money, Shen Fuguo said that since you treated me, you should pay. If I hadn't obtained the phone numbers of everyone who dined with him that day and called them one by one to verify, do you think he would have admitted it?"
"Not only will he not admit it, he will even turn the tables and say you're useless, your children are useless, and you're pretending to be generous when you don't have money to treat people."
Shen Fugui was shocked, "Did he really say that?"
"If you don't believe me, go ask the other people who were at the commissary that day."
Shen Fugui sat down on the chair, feeling a little hurt.
Just now, Shen Fuguo came to the store and asked him why he embarrassed him in public.
Before he could understand what was going on, Shen Fuguo was so angry that he said Zhou Xiuqin and Shen Yunzhao were deliberately ruining his reputation in the village, saying that he treated the guests but did not pay and asked Shen Fugui to pay.
"It's not that I didn't pay, it's just that I didn't have any money in my phone that day. I would have transferred it to you as soon as I had money. Who knew that Zhou Xiuqin and Shen Yunzhao would spread rumors and make it seem like I really didn't pay."
After hearing these words, Shen Fugui was really angry. He was angry that Zhou Xiuqin and Shen Yunzhao spoke so harshly and completely disregarded other people's face.
But now after listening to Zhou Xiuqin's words, he felt that Shen Fuguo had indeed gone too far.
Moreover, every time Shen Fuguo said he would treat him and asked him to pay, he never returned the money to him.
It's okay if it happens once or twice, but if it happens too many times, he will get very angry.
Seeing that Shen Fugui had listened to Zhou Xiuqin's words, Shen Yunzhao said, "Dad, we didn't mean to embarrass Shen Fuguo, but he went too far and really bullied you like a fool."
"He owes you so much money, and he hasn't paid it back once. That's too much! If you think we've gone too far, you can call Shen Fuguo now and ask him to pay you back the money he owes you. Do you think he'd be willing to do that?"
"Isn't this... bad?"
Shen Fugui hesitated. He felt embarrassed to ask him to pay back the money at this time.
"What's there to be embarrassed about? It's only natural to pay back debts!" Zhou Xiuqin said loudly.
"That's right! Besides, Shen Fuguo himself said that it's not that he won't pay back the money, he just wants to pay it back later. Now that a long time has passed, shouldn't he pay it back?"
The more Shen Fugui thought about it, the more he felt it was right. This was a lot of money, and he himself had no money, so it was impossible for him to take so much money lightly.
So Shen Fugui picked up his phone and called Shen Fuguo.
As soon as the call was connected, Zhou Xiuqin grabbed the phone and turned on the speakerphone.
