The big girl who was trying to read the characters took a look and asked, "Sister-in-law, what are you doing?"
Man Bao waved his hand and said, "Go ahead, I'll walk outside."
Da Ya subconsciously wanted to keep up, but Man Bao glared at her, "Write quickly, if you can't remember, you will be fined to write it a hundred times."
Although not very majestic, Da Ya still subconsciously squatted on the ground, but she was not afraid, and she looked up at her sister-in-law, and saw her wandering around the door, muttering something, and didn't know what to say, so she didn't care I bowed my head to write again.
Man Bao was muttering, "Should I go to Brother Hu's house at the end of the village, or to the village chief's house in the middle of the village?"
The system watched silently and did not make a decision for her.
In the end, Man Bao went to the village head's house. She felt that if the village head's house didn't want to sell chickens, then she would go to Brother Hu's house again.
Why did she choose these two families to buy chickens? Because besides their family, these two families raise the most chickens in the village.
It was the time when dinner was started, and there were basically people from every family. As soon as Man Bao appeared in the yard, Sanzhu's wife saw her.
She curled her lips, not very happy, because her sense of Man Bao was not very good, the last time what she said by the river spread to the family, she was scolded by her in-laws at that time.
What they didn't expect was that Manbao's family went to the county town the next day, and returned the money on the third day.
A faint voice in the village said that their family forced Manbao's family to pay back the money, and their family carried grain to the county to exchange money.
This was not a good word. Her father-in-law took the money and went to Lao Zhoutou's house on the spot. Although Man Bao's father explained it, the two families settled it.
But she was still scolded by her mother-in-law. These days, she has been doing heavy work such as feeding pigs at home, and the eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law are all free.
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law felt that all of this was Manbao's fault.
The daughter-in-law of Sanzhu didn't have a good look at Man Bao, and Man Bao was not a fool, so he jumped over her and shouted inside: "Daughter-in-law Dazhu, daughter-in-law Dazhu, are you home?"
Dazhu's daughter-in-law, who was cooking in the kitchen, ran out and looked coldly at Manbao, who was not as old as her daughter.
Man Bao smiled at her, with a childish voice, but old-fashioned: "Da Zhu's daughter-in-law, where is your mother-in-law?"
Dazhu's daughter-in-law only thought that the other party was cute, so she held back her smile and said, "It's Sister Man Bao. My mother-in-law has gone to the vegetable garden. What do you want her to do?"
"It's okay, I just want to buy a chicken with your family to eat."
Dazhu's daughter-in-law was stunned, "Buy chicken? Don't you have chickens at home?"
Man Baoli said confidently: "My chickens are still laying eggs, so I don't want to eat them."
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law couldn't bear it any longer, and said: "Your family's chicken is not willing to eat, but mine is."
Man Bao said: "If your chickens don't lay eggs, maybe they are willing to sell them?"
She gave Sanzhu's daughter-in-law a strange look, and said, "If you don't want to sell it, just say so, and I didn't force you to buy it."
"You!" Before Sanzhu's daughter-in-law had time to speak, Dazhu's wife looked at Man Bao suspiciously, "Sister Man Bao, did your family ask you to buy it?"
Man Bao nodded, "My mother needs to nourish her body, so she has to eat chicken, Dazhu's daughter-in-law, do you have chickens that don't lay eggs for sale?"
Dazhu's daughter-in-law hesitated to shake her head, she was still skeptical, how could the old Zhou family let Manbao come out to buy chickens, there were brothers and daughters-in-law, and so many big children, even if they bought chickens, they should come
It's just that before she had time to say it, Sanzhu's daughter-in-law said first: "Yes, do you want a big cock?"
Man Bao's eyes lit up, he nodded again and again and said, "Yes, yes, Sanzhu wife, you go and catch the big cock and let me have a look, and I'll give it to you at the market price."
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law doubted, "You really want it, do you have money?"
Man Bao took out a large handful of copper coins from his pocket, and said with a smile, "Here, I have money."
Sanzhu's daughter-in-law's eyes were straightened, and Dazhu's daughter-in-law was also stunned, thinking in unison, the old Zhou family is really big-hearted, so much money is given to a little baby, and they are not afraid of being robbed.
However, this is in the village, and no one would dare to snatch it.
Now that Man Bao brought the money, Sanzhu's daughter-in-law rolled her eyes, turned around, went to the chicken coop, touched a rooster, showed it to Man Bao, and said, "Here, this is the only one. There are two roosters in my family, one Keep it for the Chinese New Year to worship your ancestors, so I’ll sell you this one, according to the market price, I’ll call it for you right now.”
Dazhu's daughter-in-law frowned, and Sanzhu's daughter-in-law whispered: "Sister-in-law, mother-in-law has long wanted elder brother and the others to sell this chicken at the market to pay back the money, but who in our country is willing to spend dozens Wen Qian bought a chicken to eat back? It will definitely be sent to the county at that time, and it will take a lot of time to go back and forth. If you don’t want to sell it, you can ask your elder brother to take it later, my third child will not go.”
Dazhu's daughter-in-law shut her mouth when she heard the words.
But she didn't let the third daughter-in-law do such nonsense, she took the initiative to go back to the house to get the scale, and said to Man Bao while weighing, "The folks in the village, how can you pay according to the market price? We will give you a penny per catty cheaper."
After weighing it out quickly, Dazhu's daughter-in-law clumsily calculated, and said, "A total of fifty-three wen."
Man Bao happily counted the coins in his pocket to her, and when it was not enough, he put his hand into his pocket, but asked Ke Ke to put the money in his pocket and give it to her. After going back and forth two or three times, he finally counted fifty-three coins.
Dazhu's daughter-in-law tied the rooster's legs carefully, then tied up the wings for her, and then let her carry it back.
Seeing that she was struggling to hold such a big cock, she asked, "How about I send it back to you?"
Man Bao shook his head and said confidently: "It's okay, I can hold it."
Man Bao went home with the rooster in her arms, but she couldn't hold the rooster halfway, so she simply threw the rooster on the ground, found the rope on the wings, and dragged it away.
The rooster was clucking and flapping its wings tenaciously, or jumping its legs.
However, its legs and wings were bound, so it was dragged home by Man Bao.
Just found out that my sister-in-law was missing, and the big-headed big girl and others who were about to go out to look for it opened their mouths wide and looked at the sister-in-law who was running towards them dragging a chicken...
Erya was the first to come back to her senses, and ran up to ask, "Sister-in-law, where did you get the chicken?"
Datou and the others also ran up, hugged the poor rooster one after another, and touched it pitifully. Although they coveted it very much, they still said, "Sister-in-law, it's wrong to steal things."
Zhou Lang and the others also ran out.
Man Bao was upset, and said: "Who said I stole it, I bought it!"
Man Bao proudly patted his pocket and said, "I bought it with money!"
Zhou Wulang, who had just returned from the county seat, couldn't help but exclaimed, "Who did you buy it from, and how much did you pay for it? Could it be that you were cheated?"
The whole Zhou family was also in a state of astonishment when Man Bao took back an attack. After listening to her narration, old Zhou couldn't help touching his waist again, feeling empty, and then remembered that he took the raw cigarette They were all taken to the county town by Lao Wu and sold, and the rest were shelved by him, planning to smoke them again during the Chinese New Year.
Old Zhou looked at his wife.
