In fact, Zhou Weibai's worries are not unreasonable. There is a huge difference between ancient times and modern times. Modern gossip can say that people are dead, and ancient etiquette rules are like a mountain that crushes people to death.

Anyone who is not afraid of 10,000, is afraid of the eventuality, and hiding it is not the way.

The gentleman is open-minded, and the villain is long and affectionate. Instead of causing a lot of trouble after being discovered secretly, it is better to solve the problem from the root cause.

After Huo Chengyi and Zhou Weibai talked about their plan again, the boy blushed and hesitated for a while. In the end, he had little social experience, and he was persuaded by him.

After that, the two discussed the details in a low voice, made sure there were no loopholes, and after correcting the lines, they sorted out their mood and began to prepare for the performance.

So, when Zhou Dahua went home, he saw this scene.

Huo Chengyi changed from being a hooligan and bully in the past, and spoke to her man with an honest and sincere attitude:

"Uncle Zhou, I used to cause trouble to your family because of my ignorance. I really thank you aunt for the ginseng thing last time, and I went to fight today. A wild rabbit, it's not a big gift, it's just a thought, you must accept it, just walk around among the villagers, and the matter just now, please do your uncle a favor..."

And his man said to her former enemy boy It is also full of smiles and kindness, and even a look of relief and optimistic about the next generation.

Only her well-behaved son was sitting next to him with the usual unwelcome expression, and when he saw her coming back, he immediately ran to her to report the situation:

"Mother, hurry up, Huo Daniu said that he wanted his father to help him burn the porcelain bottle, There are still a lot more, I don't know what he wants to do, but Dad is very concerned, you go and see, don't let that bastard come to cheat us again, Dad won't let me interrupt, I'm going to be anxious..."

Zhou Weibai leaned into his mother's ear with an eager tone, and obviously disliked Huo Chengyi. Zhou Dahua was strangely suspicious of him at all.

However, his words attracted Zhou Dahua's attention, and his spirit was shocked.

"What are you talking about, Huo Daniu wants your father to help him burn the porcelain bottle?"

"Yes, that's what he said, a fine porcelain bottle will be returned to eight cents, I don't know what he does, but as long as it is Huo Daniu, it's definitely not good. Son..."

Zhou Weibai appeared to have a prejudiced tone towards Huo Chengyi, but in fact his heart almost jumped out of emptiness.

This is the confession that he and Huo Chengyi negotiated in advance, and it is actually Huo Chengyi's plan.

Since Dad Zhou was injured by a horse carriage in the county town a few years ago, his health has not been very good.

But in fact, when he was young, Father Zhou was a well-known capable man in the village. Not only was he able to work, but he also went to learn a skill of firing pottery and porcelain by himself. He was a highly skilled technical talent.

It's just that although he has the craftsmanship, firstly, Zhou's father can't work too hard because of his health, so he can't go to work in the porcelain kiln;

secondly, he picks up the work by himself. Dad's craftsmanship has also been abandoned.

When brewing wine, Huo Chengyi included Zhou's father in his plan. Anyway, he wanted to buy a porcelain bottle. Instead of going to the county porcelain kiln for transportation trouble, he might as well give the money to his future father-in-law.

The amount he wants now is not too much, and it will take several months until the fruit wine is made, and the time is not in a hurry, enough for the Zhou family to slowly burn the bottle out for him.

When Zhou Weibai heard his proposal just now, he was shocked that he could make wine, and then he agreed with both hands. It would be stupid for him to refuse this kind of mutually beneficial thing.

And Zhou's father is similar. When he was called out by his son and saw Huo Chengyi, his expression was light, not welcoming and not as repulsive as Zhou Dahua, but when he finished speaking, his mind changed immediately.

Seeing that he looked really serious, and hearing about his 'reformed' heroic deeds recently, Father Zhou was very willing to do this.

Can't blame Zhou's father for being unprepared for the enemy who killed his son before, but the man's self-esteem and sense of responsibility.

Although Dad Zhou didn't say anything in the past few years, he has always blamed himself in his heart.

In other families, men make money to work and support their families, but in his family they want his wife to support him, and their daughter-in-law and son have to venture into the mountains to collect medicine for him all the year round. Even a responsible man feels ashamed.

At this moment, there is suddenly an opportunity to make money for the family and reflect self-worth. If Zhou Dad doesn't get caught, it can only mean that he has no feelings for Zhou Dahua's mother and son.

In fact, Father Zhou still has his sturdy daughter-in-law in his heart.

However, Zhou Dahua was unwilling after hearing about it. First, she was worried that her husband would not be able to bear it. Second, as Zhou Weibai told her, she felt that Huo Chengyi was unreliable.

"No, you can't do this with Xianggong!"

She didn't even notice the look that her good son exchanged with a certain bastard, and ran into the room anxiously, for fear that her good-natured Xianggong would be deceived.

Zhou Dahua has a strong and neat personality, and there is nothing she can do. She is a woman who grew up in a bandit den. Her sturdiness has long been engraved in her bones.

If it was a man from another family who was so refuted by his daughter-in-law, the hard-hearted would feel that his face was not good-looking, and Zhou's father was softened by her back then, but now the old husband and wife have a deep relationship.

"Dahua, it's a good thing for you to sit down and listen to Nephew Huo's words..."

Seeing his sturdy daughter-in-law, Father Zhou, looked helpless, and someone here was tricked by someone to call Wen Crepe Crepe. My nephew, apparently bought and brainwashed very successfully.

Not to mention that Zhou Dahua was too shocked, even Zhou Weibai next to him had to look at Huo Chengyi with admiration again.

This guy's ability to fool people with serious nonsense is too powerful!

But after thinking about it in my heart, it's still time for acting. In order to avoid suspicion of conspiracy, Zhou Weibai came along.

He first glanced at Huo Chengyi with a very disgusting expression, and then muttered:

"Dad, what good can he do..."

Don't be too obvious in disgusting prejudice, and pretend not to deal with the enemy in a very decent manner. According to Huo Daniu With his previous relationship, such an attitude is normal.

Sure enough, Zhou Dahua had no doubts at all, and agreed with her good son's words very much, and agreed together, "Anyway, good things and bad things can't be done."

Aunt Zhou who spoke honestly and bluntly for the enemy that day was purely an accident, Huo Daniu was still on the blacklist in her mind. .

Father Zhou's opportunity to reflect his self-worth and contribute to the family was ruthlessly rejected by his daughter-in-law and his son. His expression was very shocking. He was used to being squeezed by his sturdy daughter-in-law.

Seeing this, Huo Chengyi quickly stood up when it was time for him to go into battle.

With a respectful attitude, he pulled Zhou Dahua to the chair attentively, then found a relatively short bench from the room and sat down, complimenting the elders of the two elders with inadvertent behavior.

Father Zhou was extremely ironing, and felt that he had misunderstood before; Zhou Dahua was very uncomfortable and felt that he had a convulsion today.

But no matter what the eyes of the two elders looked like, Huo Chengyi had always been thick-skinned. He picked up the bowl on the table and took a sip of water, and then he started to trick people who were familiar with him. The target was Zhou Dahua.

"Aunt Zhou, don't take the things that Daniel did in the past. You will grow old if you are angry. You are not worth it for me, aren't you? Your family has only advantages and no disadvantages."

"I believe others, you don't want to fool me."

Zhou Dahua didn't expect the benefits in his mouth at all, and his words were simple and rude, and flattery was even more useless.

Huo Chengyi choked for a while.

Zhou Weibai wanted to laugh but held back, and hurriedly said, "That is, don't try to fool my mother, what good can you do, and make my family rich?"

A tone of disdain means that he is not optimistic.

Not to mention that he is quite talented in acting, so he has to be replaced by other girls and brothers in the village to do this, not to mention revealing the secrets, but it is definitely not so realistic, because he has a guilty conscience to lie to his parents.

Zhou Weibai was actually guilty, but when he thought about it with Huo Chengyi, his mother didn't have to go into the mountains, and his father could make money by taking medicine. The huge temptation gave him incomparable courage, and he was not afraid of anything.

The more his attitude is now against Huo Chengyi, the more Zhou Dahua has no doubts, and he applauds his son in his heart, what a good attitude to Huo Daniu!

Only Zhou's father always felt different. His Xiaobai's temperament was as fierce and agile as his daughter-in-law, but he was just like his father, gentle and kind. Why did he always feel that something was wrong today.

Regardless of Zhou's murmur in his heart, as soon as Zhou Weibai spoke up, Huo Chengyi found the point of entry, and immediately followed the words and laughed.

"I can't make a lot of money, but I can still make a little money. Aunt Zhou, I asked Uncle Zhou for help after careful consideration. The number of porcelain vases I want is not much or not, but it is tentatively set at 5,000. It is also a business in the county porcelain kiln. , but there will definitely be losses on the bumpy journey back, and there will be various labor costs in the middle, and the cost of the porcelain bottle will increase..."

"But Uncle Zhou is different, Uncle Zhou is in the village, and it is not necessary to transport it. , and the price of the porcelain kiln fine porcelain bottle is ten cents, and Uncle Zhou accepts me eight cents, and the quality is guaranteed. I am not in a hurry to ask for things, and I can finish them before the New Year. Well, auntie said this is the truth?"

That's quite reasonable, even if a bottle costs two cents less than the porcelain kiln, it would be a big deal for the Zhou family if it was made.

Eight pennies and 5,000 bottles, the total price is dozens of taels. After the cost, the profit is less than a dozen taels. I'm not in a hurry to ask for it. After the autumn harvest, I have a lot of free time. This transaction is really worth it!

It has to be said that it makes sense that money can make ghosts run the mill, especially for poor families who are short of money.

Zhou Dahua suddenly felt a little moved, which is really a good thing.

"You have such good intentions to take advantage of my family? What if you don't want the bottle?"

After earning more than a dozen taels of business, if she is not in a hurry, she can still help her husband to start the job together. With this money, she Home is going to be much easier for a long time to come.

The son's marriage is no longer worrying. If she has money, what kind of son-in-law can she hire? She directly finds a man to buy a man to come back to her son and is quite obedient. Before, she lowered her requirements to hire a son-in-law because she didn't have enough money.

Fortunately, Huo Chengyi didn't know what she was thinking. If she knew that this girl was thinking of buying a husband for his future daughter-in-law, she would just shut up and leave.

Now in order to get the continuation of the upright and bright hooking up with the little brother, this fellow persuaded very hard, and his mouth was particularly sweet.

"Auntie, don't worry, can I get away with cheating you in our village? I can pay a deposit first, but there is one more thing I want my aunt to agree to."

"What's the matter?" Such a lighthearted expression.

"I want your Xiaobai to help me do a month's work. I'm going to set up a stall at the wharf. My family doesn't have enough hands, and Xiaobai is very capable. I don't know if my aunt should be able to do it? I really can't find it here. I'm here, other people in the village are not as nice as Auntie..."

After so long, he finally found a chance to say the most important purpose, with a helpless expression and a sincere tone, and he didn't forget to flatter him at the end.

Without waiting for Zhou Dahua's reaction, Zhou Weibai followed suit and immediately shook his head and said loudly.

"No, mother, I'm not going, I don't want to stay with Huo Daniu, he's a bastard." He

blocked Zhou Dahua's mouth directly, so that she had no chance to say the lines she rejected.

Huo Chengyi made persistent efforts and cooperated with each other, with a displeased expression on his words, and his face fell down.

"Little brother Zhou, everyone says that knowing your mistakes can make a big difference. I have offended you before, but you can't be so stingy and keep the matter of Chen Zhi's rotten millet in your heart. If you open your mouth and close your mouth, you will be a bastard. I am Huo Daniu anyway. A big man standing upright."

"Just say you, are you still not convinced?!" Zhou Weibai stared and raised his fist to threaten.

Huo Chengyi immediately conditioned his body to turn back and shut his mouth, looking like he was afraid of being beaten.

Zhou Dahua was very satisfied with the effect, and Father Zhou had a headache.

Then he reacted again with the expression that his big man was afraid that the younger brother would be too embarrassing, and he couldn't hold his face. He looked back at Zhou Dahua and made his final persuasion and farewell.

"Anyway, the aunt I said just now think about it. If little brother Zhou comes to help me with 40 yuan of wages a day, it will be fine until the autumn harvest. My aunt will think about it and tell me before tomorrow that there are still some things at home, so I will leave first. ."

After speaking, Huo Chengyi left without any regrets.

Zhou Weibai continued to pretend to be an enemy and hummed at his back, then turned back and told Zhou Dahua.

"Mother, don't agree, I won't help Huo Daniu, what's the big deal with the forty wen salary, tomorrow I will go back into the mountains to hunt."

Into the mountains? What mountain are they going to enter now? The special climate makes it snow for a few days after the autumn harvest here. The animals in the mountains are waiting for these few days to eat and store up fat for the winter. It is the time of ferociousness. Going into the mountains to hunt now is courting death!

Originally, he wanted to nod his head to agree with him, but Zhou Dahua, who felt that his son was right in rejecting it, immediately fell silent.

Seeing her son who was eager to try and began to think about what to bring into the mountains and how many days he would stay in the mountains, she perfunctory words with a sad expression.

Then he turned his head and immediately led his husband back to the house to whisper.

"Xianggong, what do you think about this? I think it's okay. If this business can be done, I can buy a man for Xiaobai to marry after the new year, and the government will not

be able to urge us." In the face of a big fortune in the money issue, Zhou Dahua gave in, and it was beneficial to her family.

"But Xiaobai is still an unmarried little brother, so I'm afraid to help..."

Father Zhou was a little concerned about his little brother's reputation, but he began to hesitate.

"What are you afraid of? Our family doesn't have a good reputation. Let's just say it. Anyway, Xiaobai doesn't marry the boy in the village. It's up to people to talk about it. Our family has been talked about for so many years. And Xiang Gong, don't you think? This time is better, I have nothing to do and I'm bored. It's just right now, and I can make money and breathe."

"But Daniel, he seemed to us Xiaobai before..."

"You said it before, I think Huo Daniel It's been a bit of a prodigal son looking back recently, but even if he has the heart and no guts, what can he do in broad daylight with such a man on the dock? Besides, you don't understand our son? That's what I taught myself, Huo Danielle Dare to be wicked and beat him to death!"

"..." Father Zhou successfully shut up.

"Going to work will prevent Xiaobai from thinking about going into the mountains to hunt. This kid is very stubborn. I cleaned up the house that day and found out that this kid actually kept a copper plate in a clay pot. I don't know that he did it secretly without us. What kind of work, what if he sneaks into the mountain? And there is still 40 wen of wages, which is a good deal, Mrs., you say what I said is right..."

Thinking of Huo Chengyi's fear of fists just now, Zhou Dahua Barabara analyzed it again. At stake, in the end, he was full of confidence and decided to sell his good son, and even asked her for praise after the sale.

Father Zhou had a confused look on his face. His wife said it was so reasonable, and he had absolutely no reason to refute it.
