Chapter 77: The Four Treasures Are Injured

  Wait until he buys it back, Shen Sisi then handed these things to Zhong Gensheng and said: "Dad, send them to the Li Zheng family..."

  "Good kid, you understand human feelings and worldly affairs, more thoughtful than your father..." Zhong Gensheng said with a smile.

  She watched Zhong Yingsheng leave, then let out a sigh, thinking to herself that she wasn't heartbroken about the money. It was all because of the gift, so in the future if there were any troubles and they went to find Li Zheng, he would be more enthusiastic, not because of their face, but because of the money's face, his attitude would be different. Alas, the emotions of giving gifts are truly a large sum of money...

  Looking at the money handed over by Da Bao, Shen Sisi pushed it away and said: "You keep it for yourself to spend..."

  Dabao's eyes widened in surprise, at home Shen Sisi was in charge of the money, everyone was used to it. Now that she relaxed a bit, he felt a bit uncomfortable, hesitantly saying: "......I, I don't have anywhere to use the money." He found the money too hot to handle, although he wanted it, he didn't dare take it. At home Shen Sisi had always been strict with him, he never thought about how to use the money or wanting money to spend.

  She sighed, it seems that she had to give the three brothers some pocket money. From a young age, they should also cultivate their financial awareness, otherwise, if they never handled money when they were young, in the future when they have money, they would be extravagant and lack ambition.

  "Take it, and share it with Er Bao and San Bao. From now on, you're in charge of yourself..." Shen Sisi said, casting a sideways glance at Si Bao, who was burning pig grass but had his ears perked up, and laughed: "No share for Si Bao, he's got free food and lodging..."

  The four treasures are exhausted, this small device's girl, not even giving him a single copper coin. He wants wages...

  This girl is even more ruthless than the landlord!!

  In fact, apart from not giving him money, Si Bao's treatment is really good. At least Shen Sisi and he eat the same thing, and they have never eaten separately. Working as a long-term worker in a landlord's house, but without such good food, of course, others have wages...

  Si Bao was very depressed and tangled, gritting his teeth and thinking, wait until the future... must take revenge. Hmph.

  Zhonggensheng sent the gift and came back, also brought a little mulberry, smiled: "Li Zheng's wife gave it to you, you eat it, this season is very rare, now it's hard to see on the mountain."

  Shen Sisi happily accepted it and tasted one, smiling: "It's really sweet."

  Unfortunately, eating too much of this stuff will turn your mouth and hands black. Shen Sisi carefully ate a few pieces and then shared them with Jixiang Sanbao. She gave some to the fourth treasure, who turned his head away in distress. Shen Sisi's mouth twitched, but she ignored him.

  This guy is a silent lamb, who else to slaughter if not him?! You have something on your mind and you're suffocating with it, die from depression, humph. Called you arrogant.

  She was staring at Si Ba with a sullen face, when Niu Xiaohua came in with a small cloth package in her hand.

  Her face was red, and she called out "Tuni" in a very uneasy manner.

  Tuni smiled and said: "Come in, Xiaohua..." She seemed to smile but not quite, glanced at Dabao, who ran away with a gloomy face and red cheeks.

  Why does he always stare at Niu Xiaohua like that?! It's just because last time he made a joke, Da Bao was so upset and didn't understand why he had to hide whenever Tuniu looked at him. Anyway, after hiding, he felt even more uncomfortable in his heart, as if it seemed like there was really something between him and Niu Xiaohua...

  These cows haven't seen Xiaohua, at this time she twisted and said: "Tuniu, I don't have much money either, this is a handkerchief made from the cloth I secretly saved a few dozen cents when selling chestnuts, don't despise it..."

  She looked at him in surprise, last time she said she wanted to thank herself, she didn't take it seriously, but Niu Xiaohua remembered what he said very clearly, and for a moment, she was moved to tears, smiling and saying: "Thank you, I like it very much..."

  Niu Xiaohua finally let out a sigh of relief and said, "Tuni, the things that have been circulating in the village recently are all because of my mother's fault. My mother is like that, don't blame her, I'm sorry..."

  "It's nothing, it's all in the past... Besides, I know this has nothing to do with you."

  Niu Xiaohua's eyes turned red and she said: "Fortunately, we made some money at home, my mother wanted to buy the recipe, she never believed you, later it was me who fried out the same flavor as yours, she finally believed, Tuniu, I'm really sorry, now your family can't sell chestnuts next year, what will your family do?!"

  At this time, Shen Sisi was really surprised by the girl's heart. In this world, such a kind girl, how could she be born in Tian Guifang's belly? It's really a misunderstanding. She was really worried about the girl's fate and gratefully said: "It's okay, our family has other ways to make money. In the future, we won't sell chestnuts, and you don't have to worry that our family can't get by..."

  Niu Xiaohua heard her say that, and finally breathed a sigh of relief. She didn't dare to stay any longer and said: "I still have to go home and do needlework. If I go back late, my mother will scold me." Just now she had sneaked out secretly, but going back would inevitably lead to a lecture. Niu Xiaohua was already used to it, although it was frustrating, it was also an unavoidable thing. If only she could get married early, but for such a family, and her mother would marry her off to what kind of person, she was full of worries.

  Shen Sisi grabbed a handful of mulberries and handed them to her, then sent her out of the yard.

  Turning back, she called out to Da Bao, looking at his red face, she was speechless. Why were the ancients so bad at joking around? Just one glance and it ended up like this?!

  She didn't dare mention it again, only saying: "Take the bones and stew them, wash and chop up the pig's internal organs to marinate, tonight I'll come stir-fry spicy pork miscellaneous...".

  "Got it......" Da Bao sullenly went into the kitchen.

  At home, the best cook is now Shen Sisi. He only helps with some minor tasks, although he can now make a few dishes, but the taste is not as good as Shen Sisi's. The family members have been spoiled and even think that Shen Sisi's steamed eggplant tastes better. This makes Dabao very depressed.

  Shen Sisi narrowed his eyes, calculating how to spend the twenty taels of silver in the room. He had originally wanted to raise the price to fifteen taels, but unexpectedly, Tian Guihua was so excited that she raised it to eighteen taels, a truly unexpected delight.

  It seems that I have to go and talk to Zheng Tufu in the village head, buy his meat every day, see what price he can give. Also, I need to go into town to buy a primer book back for them to learn first. The braised meat also needs to be prepared for sale... After earning some more money, we need to buy some land at home, build a new house, and send the three brothers to school. Everything requires money, she also needs to work harder to earn money...

  However, she was very confident in her braised meat. Although a catty of meat was sold for twenty cents, she bought it every day and could definitely get it for fifteen or sixteen cents. If she sold more later, she could even buy pigs back to ask Zheng Butcher to slaughter them, which would be more cost-effective. At first, maybe not so many could be sold, but twenty catties should be no problem. Excluding the cost of spices and other ingredients, making a profit of twenty cents per catty was absolutely no problem, that is to say, she had at least four hundred cents in income every day, which was one thousand two hundred cents a month. This was still a conservative estimate, but she believed that as long as her braised flavor came out, it would definitely be a big hit...

  Then she really counted money at home, thinking that the silver was earned back, Shen Sisi wanted to laugh loudly.

  The moon was dark and the wind was strong, Li Er Dan sneaked to the outer wall of the Zhong family's courtyard, carefully avoiding people, and with a push of his hand, he flipped over into the already not very high courtyard. The courtyard wall was originally made of earth and had been built many years ago when Old Man Zhong was still alive, but it had long since been eroded by wind and rain and had lost its shape, making it impossible to block anyone.

  Li Er Dan sneaked in and listened quietly, seeing no light or sound, he first snuck into the kitchen, opened the cabinet, and at a glance saw the meat still steaming hot. He swallowed his saliva, secretly cursing: "Damn thieving girl, last time she dared to tease him like this, this time he will eat all the meat."

  He wolfed down his food, almost choking, and had to cover his mouth with his hand to prevent himself from coughing loudly. He stared at the meat in his bowl in shock - how could this meat be so delicious?!

  Just as he was swallowing and eating the meat with great effort, a loud shout suddenly rang out: "Who? Who is in the kitchen?"

  It just so happened that Sibao ate too much tonight and came out to the toilet. As soon as he finished, he heard a coughing sound in the kitchen. He was startled, but still plucked up his courage and shouted loudly. Li Er Dan was shocked, and the shock made him cough even more violently.

  Thinking to himself that he was really unlucky, he had just stolen the meat and hadn't even gone in to find the money yet, but was discovered. In a moment of panic, he dropped his bowl and tried to run away desperately. Unexpectedly, Four Treasures also rushed in with a stick, and Li Er Dan became even more tense, randomly grabbing a piece of firewood and striking out.

  Si Bao was caught off guard and let out a cry as he was hit on the head, blood gushing out instantly. He fell to the ground, after all, still young and no match for Li Er Dan, a grown man. In an instant, he fell, but managed to grab onto Li Er Dan's leg, tripping him up, and with his stick, gave him a vicious whack.

  Li Er Dan was in so much pain that he didn't dare to stay any longer and wanted to run away. At this time, he heard the voice of Si Bao calling out, and Zhong Gen Sheng had already hastily put on his clothes and come out. Seeing a black shadow limping along and climbing over the wall of the courtyard, he became anxious and picked up his hunting bow, fiercely throwing it at the person's back.

  "Ah yo......" Li Er Dan fell to the ground with a thud, and this fall was not light. Zhong Gen Sheng's strength was great, and that one punch was even more severe. As a result, Li Er Dan started rolling on the ground, constantly shouting "ah yo".

  Shen Sisi also got up at this time, she looked at Li Er Dan rolling on the ground, coldly snorted, this second-rate guy still wanted to come and steal silver, cut, she put it in her space, where could he find it.

  "Second Treasure, Third Treasure found Fourth Treasure in the kitchen and exclaimed: '...Fourth Treasure, you're bleeding?!'"

  Tuni was startled and hastily asked Zhong Gensheng to guard Li Er Dan, while she herself ran to the kitchen. Looking at the messy situation, combined with the wound on Sibao's head, she urgently said: "Er Bao, go to the village entrance to call Lai Tou, quickly..."
