Chapter 171
Everyone who went there couldn't help but feel their anus tighten when they saw his miserable appearance.
Zhao Ganwei continued, "His parents didn't allow him to be beaten, and he kept crying and shouting. The county magistrate had them separated. Alas! You didn't see the miserable scene!"
He sighed, "If he hadn't come here to cause trouble and wanted to kill people, how could he have ended up like this?"
No one present knew what to say, especially Zhong Laosan. He had been to Zhou's house several times before. At that time, Zhou Yushou pretended to be a good person and didn't look like a bad person at all.
"Let's eat, and then we can talk about these things after we eat." said Zhong's mother.
After eating and drinking, Zhao Ganwei continued, "The family of three was sent to see a doctor by Lao Zhou. I believe that after this time, they will not come to cause trouble again."
is not that right?
This time I was beaten with thirty boards. If there is a next time, it will be useless even if my butt is broken.
"It's getting dark. It might rain. Should we go back quickly?" Zhao Ganwei said after looking at the sky.
Mother Zhong wanted to ask about Father Zhong's family, but when she saw that the sky was indeed a little dark, she said, "Go back quickly, or it will rain on the way."
While no one was paying attention, Chen Dongzhi and Zhong Ruyi slipped into the yard to talk.
He took out a bag of pastries from his arms and said, "I bought this this morning. It's a new flavor. Try it and see if it tastes good. If you like it, I'll buy more next time."
Zhong Ruyi took it and opened it. There were six or seven round snacks inside. She took one and broke it open. A scent of tea spread out. They each had half.
When Zhong Ruyi put the food in her mouth, she could smell a light tea fragrance, which was sweet but not greasy and very refreshing.
Her eyes lit up, it was actually quite delicious, and she quickly took another piece and gave it to Chen Dongzhi, "Brother Dongzhi, this snack is delicious, eat more."
Chen Dongzhi ate half a piece and stopped eating, shaking his head, "You eat it, I'll buy you another next time."
Seeing that she was eating happily, the hair around her ears fell down. Chen Dongzhi reached out and gently lifted those naughty hair behind her ears.
"Oh, right." Zhong Ruyi suddenly remembered something, stopped eating the cake, and ran back to the room, "Wait for me here."
She ran into the room and looked behind her. She saw Chen Dongzhi still standing there waiting for her, so she quickly took out the water bag filled with spiritual spring water from the space.
"Brother Dongzhi, take this water bag with you on the road. You must drink it up no matter how thirsty you are. Remember to return the water bag to me next time." She reminded.
Chen Dongzhi took the water bag. Although he didn't know why Ruyi gave it to him, she must have her reasons for doing so, so he just had to listen to her and do as she said.
Seeing how obedient he was, Zhong Ruyi couldn't help but touch his face, "Brother Dongzhi, you have to be so obedient in the future. You can't jump into the river when I tell you to hit your head against the wall."
"Okay." Chen Dongzhi agreed seriously.
When Zhong's mother came around to call for help, she heard the silly words of her daughter and Chen Dongzhi. The corners of her mouth twitched.
"Dongzhi, go back, it's going to rain soon!"
Hearing Zhong's mother's voice, Zhong Ruyi quickly pushed him and said, "Go back quickly. Next time I will make you some delicious food to take back to the mountain to eat."
Chen Dongzhi nodded and looked at her reluctantly. Seeing that Mother Zhong did not come over after saying this, he reached out and hugged her again.
"Okay, go back quickly, and remember to drink up all the water in the water bag." Zhong Ruyi patted his back, signaling him to go back quickly.
In order to get back to the village before it rained, the group walked very quickly. Zhao Ganwei, with a bulging belly, even swung his feet like fire. Finally, they arrived at the village before the first drop of rain fell.
After thanking the village chief, Mr. Zhong and his companions returned to the Zhong family. Chen Dongzhi also went with them. The money from today's stall sales had not yet been divided.
In the main room, the Zhong family and Chen Dongzhi sat face to face, and Chen Dongzhi poured all the money he earned from the stall today onto the table.
"Today, two deer were sold for one hundred taels, and a pheasant was sold for fifty wen. They were all sold." Chen Dongzhi told about the situation of setting up the stall today. Although Zhong Laosan did not go with them, he also had his share in hunting.
"One hundred taels!" Li Guihua exclaimed, glancing at her delighted husband and whispering, "Why is it so popular? I heard that a deer sold for thirty or forty taels was the highest it could get."
Boss Zhong nodded. "Today a big customer came and took a fancy to the two deer on our stand. He said he wanted to buy them back and roast them. He was very generous."
Finally, Chen Dongzhi got 40 taels of the final 100 taels, while Zhong Laosan and the other two got 30 taels each.
"No, let's split it in half, thirty-three taels each." Chen Dongzhi was unwilling to do this. Although Zhong Laosan and the other man's hunting skills were a little rusty, they both put in a lot of effort. The better they cooperated as time went on, the better Chen Dongzhi wanted to work with them again next time.
The three Zhong brothers are quite smart, while the eldest brother Zhong is quiet and doesn't talk much, but he will do whatever you say, which makes things worry-free.
He pushed the forty taels of silver that had been pushed in front of him back in front of the two people, indicating that they should be redistributed.
"No, if you weren't there, we wouldn't even have one tael, let alone thirty-three taels, so you should get the bigger share," said Zhong Laosan.
Boss Zhong nodded and said, "Yes, Dongzhi, you should accept it. I hope you can lead us next time."
Neither party was willing to accept it. Finally, Zhong's father said, "Dongzhi, you should accept it. The eldest and the third brother together have 60 taels, and you alone have 40 taels. In the end, we are still the better choice."
Chen Dongzhi pursed his lips and finally accepted it.
On his way back, he opened the water bag and drank all the remaining water. He didn't know why, but this water tasted sweeter than the usual water. After drinking it, he felt that all the fatigue in his body disappeared and he felt refreshed.
He felt that if he drank a few more sips he would be able to go up the mountain and stay there for a few more days, but going up the mountain would have to wait as he had to prepare to go to the fields to work.
Mother Chen knocked on the door outside. "Dongzhi, do you want to eat some of the fruits that Ruyi brought?"
Chen Dongzhi got up and opened the door, and saw Chen's mother holding a basket with several bunches of green fruits in it.
"This was brought by Ruyi yesterday. I originally thought that I couldn't take so much and wanted to send some back, but I forgot about it when I was talking to your Aunt Wu. When I sent it back this morning, your Sister Guihua said that since Ruyi gave it to me, I should just take it and eat it, lest Ruyi would be angry if she knew that I was giving it back again."
"Eat it. You were still asleep when Ruyi sent you such delicious fruit, so I didn't wake you up."
Chen Dongzhi took it and saw that his mother seemed to have something to say, "What's wrong?"
Mother Chen smiled awkwardly, "Didn't your Aunt Wu say she wanted to introduce her daughter to our family? I was thinking since you and Ruyi like each other, why don't you two get married soon? Otherwise, others will always want to introduce their daughters to us."
She felt a little nervous because her son had said before that although they liked each other, they didn't want to get married too early. She didn't know if saying this would make her son unhappy.
Chen Dongzhi was not happy at all. Although he also wanted to marry Ruyi as soon as possible, since Ruyi said she didn't want to, he had to respect her.
He shook his head. “I don’t have that idea for now.”
Chen's mother was speechless when she heard what he said, "Son, you must not play with Ruyi's feelings. She is a good girl, you must not let her down!"
Chen Dongzhi didn't know how his mother knew that he was the kind of person who would toy with a girl's feelings. He just nodded obediently and went back to his room with the fruit.
