Chapter 280: Smiling with joy (third update)
Yang Ruoqing said: "I accept it because I don't want to disobey him."
"But if I burn it myself, my mother and the others will definitely ask Where did it come from?”
“After thinking about it, I still don’t want my mother and others to know that Mu Zichuan sent me charcoal in private!”
She has already told Mu Zichuan today! That's very clear.
Just this once, never again.
I believe he will never come again.
Yang Ruoqing felt that this little episode could be kept away from the kind-hearted parents.
If they knew about it and felt grateful in their hearts, they would inevitably have some entanglements if they turned back.
“Tangyazi, take your charcoal back and burn it.”
Yang Ruoqing urged again.
Luo Fengtang thought for a moment and nodded: "Yeah!"
"It's in the kitchen, I'll get it for you."
Yang Ruoqing turned around and entered the kitchen.
“Huh?”
Then a surprised cry came from her in the kitchen.
“What’s wrong, Qing’er?”
Luo Fengtang followed in immediately.
Yang Ruoqing pointed to the corner of the wall with a confused look on her face.
“No, I just put the charcoal here, but why did it disappear when I turned around?”
she asked.
"Maybe he put it somewhere else? Look for it again?"
Luo Fengtang suggested.
"Impossible, the place I placed myself is absolutely correct."
She said very firmly.
Luo Fengtang was also confused. He scratched his head and looked around.
"A mouse cannot hold it in its mouth, and charcoal will not fly away by itself. Third Aunt and the others are all warming themselves in the house. Could it be..."
"It must have been stolen. Yes." Yang Ruoqing concluded.
Just now she put the charcoal in the corner, closed the kitchen door and went to the next door room.
She thought about the blue sky and white sun, and everyone was in the next room.
Logically speaking, there are no such bold thieves.
I didn’t expect it, I didn’t expect it, this thief is so brave!
"Who could have stolen it?"
Yang Ruoqing held her chin and thought.
The first suspect that flashed in my mind was my fourth aunt.
The fourth aunt is one month old and has recently begun to jump up and down again.
Maybe he came back from the latrine and came to the kitchen to peek.
Then I saw it and took it easy.
Damn it!
"Catching thieves and catching stolen goods, Qing'er Moduo guessed, just be careful next time."
Luo Fengtang consoled him from the side.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, that was all she could do.
"Qing'er, I'll leave first."
"Well, okay."
Luo Fengtang left.
Yang Ruoqing was still standing in the kitchen, looking at the empty corner and frowning.
It seems that the charcoal given by Mu Zichuan is destined to fail.
What an arrogant thief, it’s best not to be caught by my sister when you turn around!
……
In Mrs. Liu’s house in the front yard.
Yang Huaming was sitting on a stool with his legs crossed and cracking melon seeds.
Ms. Liu sneaked into the house, turned back and closed the door tightly.
"Daddy He'er, I have a happy news for you!"
Ms. Liu turned around and ran towards Yang Huaming.
Yang Huaming caught a glimpse of Liu's big belly and was so frightened that he almost slipped off the stool.
"Oh Mom, why did my belly get so big again last time I went to the toilet? I haven't touched you for more than a month..."
"Hey~"
Ms. Liu rolled her eyes at Yang Huaming and teased her. He lifted up the hem of his clothes and pulled out a small twine bag. "He'er dad, come and see what this is!"
"What?"
Yang Huaming looked over and saw what was in the bag, and his eyes lit up.
He threw the melon seeds in his hand onto the plate, reached out and fished out a piece of charcoal and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Hey, this is second-grade charcoal. This is what Yongxian House burns in winter. It's very warm!"
Yang Huaming said, smacking his lips.
"How did you get it?" he asked Mr. Liu immediately.
Mrs. Liu looked proud and said in a low voice: "I came back from using the toilet and saw that the kitchen door in the third room was unlocked, so I slipped in and took a look."
"I was afraid I would die if I saw this. Fat Ya bought it, so I brought it back.”
“Well, if you don’t bring it, it’s for nothing!” Yang Huaming nodded in approval.
Liu was even more proud.
"Daddy He'er, let's get a brazier later and burn this charcoal in the house to keep warm." Mrs. Liu said.
"If my mother asks me, how about I tell her that my mother's family sent it here?"
Yang Huaming glared at Mrs. Liu: "Why are we bothering with this thing? It's a waste of money."< br>
"If you ask me, it would be better to sell it and exchange it for money." Yang Huaming said.
"Where to sell it? The villagers are all poor and they can't afford to burn it!" Mrs. Liu said.
Yang Huaming said: "Don't worry about this. I'll give it to my second brother and let him help sell it."
"Second brother is in town, so you still have to send him to town?" Ms. Liu asked.
"Second brother and his father-in-law are celebrating their birthdays these two days, and their whole family has returned to the village." Yang Huaming said.
"Sure, then you can get rid of it when you get back."
"I'll go right away."
Yang Huaming added a coat and put the five kilograms of charcoal in it He hid the bag under his arm and hurried out the door.
Old Yang's house at the south end of the village.
Yang Huaming found Yang Hualin, and the two brothers came to the door of the house to talk.
Yang Huaming told Yang Hualin about this, and Yang Hualin narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
“I’ve heard in town that Sanfang and Juweixuan are doing tofu business. I’m afraid they’ve made a lot of money, and the charcoal has been burned!”
Yang Hualin 1 The face was angry.
Yang Huaming didn't pay attention to these, and only urged Yang Hualin.
"Second brother, please help me get rid of this charcoal, so I can get some pocket money."
Yang Hualin's eyes fell back into the bag, thought about it and said: "This second-class Charcoal sells for eight cents per catty in town, I’ll give it to you for five cents.”
When Yang Huaming heard the price, he started shouting anxiously.
“Second brother, how did your monkey sperm come to my head?”
"This second-grade charcoal is obviously worth ten cents a pound. Have you ever thought I'd buy it?"
Yang Huaming raised his neck and said.
"My mother sent me to buy charcoal for burning in Yongxian House at home!"
Yang Hualin glared at Yang Huaming angrily.
“You got this charcoal from a shady source, and the portion is not large. It won’t be easy to sell in the town.”
"I think you are a brother, so I help you out. Do you have to give me some errand fees?"
"If you think the price is low, find a way out on your own."
Yang Hualin turned around and wanted to go back to the house. Yang Huaming gritted his teeth and said, "Chengchengcheng, five cents is five cents!"
All the bags and charcoal were given to Yang Hualin.
Yang Hualin paid twenty-five cents and sent Yang Huaming away.
Yang Huaming returned to the house carrying the charcoal bag.
Ms. Yang pulled him aside and asked him carefully.
After listening to Yang Hualin’s words, Yang looked unhappy.
He was scolding Yang Hualin: "Five pounds of charcoal is not easy to sell even in my brother's shop. You are doing a loss-making business and you are still a monkey!"
Yang Hualin He said with a smile: "I accept his charcoal, of course it is useful."
“Didn’t you say you were going to Lao Mu’s house for a meeting later?”
“It doesn’t look like you’re going empty-handed. You just happened to have this charcoal with you.”
“Just say it’s for Zichuan. Widow Liu will definitely be happy to use it to warm herself up at night," Yang Hualin said.
When he heard this, Yang also smiled happily.
“Well, charcoal is something that farmers can’t afford to burn. Anyway, we got it cheaply. I’ll bring it with me later!”
