Just as Chen Qiaoer was about to fill her mouth, she heard Chen Ermao's voice coming from the door.
"Oh, you've already eaten meat buns. It seems like you are really lucky."
Hearing his movements, Qiaoer immediately hid behind Chen Xiaobei and looked at Chen Ermao nervously.
However, Chen Xiaobei showed no fear. He raised his chest and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Ermao, the three days promised have not come yet."
Chen Ermao laughed and said, "Don't be in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you're not in a hurry. Let me make it clear. It's the same if you don't give money to others."
As Chen Ermao spoke, his eyes glanced at Chen Qiaoer again intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Xiaobei stepped forward again, stopped in front of Chen Qiaoer and yelled fiercely, "Chen Ermao, please remember this. If you try to have Qiaoer's ideas again, I will fight you tooth and nail."
Er Mao smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Xiaobei, don't worry, I'm here to discuss another business with you."
Chen Xiaobei couldn't figure out for a while what kind of medicine Chen Ermao Gourd was selling.
"Say it."
Chen Ermao chuckled and said, "You also know that Cui Hongyu has killed three men. How can anyone from all over the country dare to take her? You might as well collect her dowry and sell her to me."
"Anyway, she has been kicked out of the Cui family. Even if she is lost, I believe Cui Fugui will not come looking for her!"
This tnd is too stupid. It has set its sights on my sister, and now it has set its sights on my unmarried daughter-in-law.
Chen Xiaobei was furious at the time, "Chen Ermao, don't tell me, Cui Hongyu and I haven't even gotten close to each other yet. Even if she does come into my house, she will still be my Chen Xiaobei's woman. I just eat chaffy vegetables."
I will never sell my woman."
Chen Ermao and Chen Ermao looked at Chen Xiaobei with eyes full of surprise and doubt.
If Chen Qiaoer is not sold, it can be explained that she is his sister, but as for Cui Hongyu, this is a person who is not related to him, and she is also a woman who is jealous.
He couldn't understand why Chen Xiaobei was glaring at him for such a woman.
"Okay, I really didn't expect Brother Xiaobei to be a man who values love and justice, so just pretend I didn't say anything about it."
Seeing Chen Ermao leaving like this, Chen Xiaobei felt uneasy.
Unexpectedly, before Chen Qiaoer's matter was resolved, Chen Ermao had already set his sights on Cui Hongyu. Speaking of which, he and Cui Hongyu hadn't even gotten close yet.
But it didn't take long for this to happen. After Chen Qiao'er had eaten her fill of steamed buns, she climbed onto her bed with satisfaction and took a nap, while Chen Xiaobei leaned under the big locust tree to enjoy the cool air.
Just then, the chief came.
The chief's name is Chen Anbang.
Speaking of which, Chen Xiaobei had to call his grandfather, "Second Grandpa, why are you here? Sit down quickly."
Hearing the commotion, Qiaoer came out from the room holding the three-legged bench and stuffed it in front of Chen Anbang.
"Second Grandpa, please sit down."
Chen Anbang smiled and patted Qiao'er on the head, then took the stool, sat down, and looked at Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.
"Xiaobei, your parents passed away early, and you two brothers and sisters have suffered a lot in the past few years."
Chen Xiaobei didn't understand Chen Anbang's intention for a while, so he could only make a few perfunctory remarks.
Within three sentences, Chen Anbang got to the point, "I heard that your second aunt Xiumei said that you have agreed to marry the Cui family."
Chen Xiaobei felt embarrassed when he heard this. When did I agree? I never agreed.
"Second Grandpa, actually I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Anbang stopped him again, "I know Hong Yu is also a miserable girl."
"But don't worry, I found a fortune teller to help you calculate it. Your destiny is very tough. It'll be fine. Trust me."
Chen Xiaobei really couldn't understand why everyone was suddenly so concerned about his marriage, and why he must marry Cui Hongyu?
"Second Grandpa, you also know the situation of my family. It's already too difficult for me and Qiao'er to live together. How can I get a wife?"
"Besides, my family only has two acres of land, and it's not enough for the two of us to eat. Cui Hongyu is here, and it's enough for three mouths."
Hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Chen Anbang smiled slightly, "Old Cui has made a promise. If your family has any difficulties, you can go to him at any time. He is willing to subsidize it to the end."
The more favorable the conditions, the more evil there is.
"Second Grandpa, can you let me think about this again?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Anbang stood up directly and said, "Don't think about it. You don't have parents. It's just the village that has the final say. I've already taken care of this for you."
"By the way, Cui Hongyu will move to your house in three days. You should clean it up early. I will send two people to help you clean the yard later."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Whether it is the second aunt from the west neighbor or the head of the village, Chen Anbang, everyone is trying their best to get Cui Hongyu to marry into their family. Why on earth is this?
He can't figure this out yet, but it's not important at the moment. What's important is that he has to catch pheasants tonight, and the two taels of silver haven't been enough yet.
He still sent Chen Qiaoer to Dachun's home and rushed to ambush him while it was still dark.
He again took a few pheasant eggs from several nests. Only the lack of eggs caused the pheasants to become confused.
Obviously the pheasant was smarter than he thought. It was not until dark that a few pairs of small bright spots quietly appeared in the grass in the distance.
About three or four pheasants walked back to their habitat and started wandering back and forth.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly understood that the pheasants were really smart and actually sent out scouts. These three or four pheasants were just here to explore the way.
These pheasants wandered around for about a quarter of an hour, and seemed to feel that there was no danger, so they started to coo.
Soon, dozens of pairs of small bright spots appeared in the grass in the distance, and the pheasants finally returned.
However, when the pheasant realizes that it has fewer eggs, it will start circling around like it did last night.
It's obvious that their IQ is still limited.
But this time Chen Xiaobei was not in a hurry to take action.
He was more prepared than last night. In addition to a net, he also had a stone in his hand.
Seeing the pheasants in a mess, he threw the stone towards the place where the pheasants were most densely packed.
The already chaotic flock of pheasants immediately scattered in all directions, thrashing and jumping wildly.
Everything went as he expected. More than a dozen pheasants arrived under the tree in a hurry. It was an opportunity that would never come again.
Chen Xiaobei went down with a net in his pocket.
He held at least three or four pheasants. Then he used his hands and feet to hold down two more pheasants.
Tonight's harvest was even greater than last night, with a total of five caught.
Chen Xiaowei was so happy that he spent 350 coins apiece and sold five of them! Darling, in addition to paying off Chen Ermao's gambling debt, he still had a lot left in his hands.
This time, he still made a mark. However, he also understood that the so-called "things are only three things", and the possibility of the pheasants coming back is very small. He made the marks mainly so that he could come and take back all the pheasant eggs so that he could catch them by chance.
Replenish your body.
But sometimes the ideal is very full and the reality is very skinny. The next day, Chen Xiaobei was full of confidence and got up early to go to the county town to sell pheasants, but he waited until he was about to win but still didn't sell any pheasants.
Yesterday's great philanthropist Butler Cao didn't show up, and even Lao Wu, the vegetable seller, felt a little sorry for Chen Xiaobei.
