After being exiled to Lingnan, Prime Minister Quan's family collapsed and his people were set u

Zhou Mingyi wiped the sweat from his forehead and joined Zhou Shitang and others in practicing martial arts.

Li didn't need to cook, so she sat aside, looked at the children, and said with a smile: "Not to mention, it's quite enjoyable to see several children practicing martial arts together."

While eating, Shi Qingxiao said: "We don't have much food at home. We have to find ways to make money. We should find time to go to the town or county to see what we can do to make money. We can't just sit back and make money."

She focused on Li.

Li met her gaze and immediately said, "I can embroider."

It’s not like she doesn’t do anything, she can also make money, and she still has to save dowries and betrothal gifts for her children.

Mrs. Zhou also said: "I guess you guys don't know how to farm. When you have money in the future, you can buy the fields and rent them to others."

Zhou Shitang touched his chin, "Isn't this what landlords do?"

Mrs. Zhou nodded.

Her son had farmed when he was a child, but the others were raised by nobles and nobles. It would be a waste of time for them to learn farming. It would be good to just wait for the rent to be collected, and it would not be too tiring.

Farming is too tiring and I don’t make much money.

Zhou Shitang and others had just discussed ways to make money not long ago, and they were all eager to give it a try, looking forward to going out for a big fight tomorrow.

Zhou Yancheng: "The town is relatively close to here, but the county seat is far away. Let's see if we can borrow an ox cart from our neighbors to reduce the time wasted on the road."

"I asked the village chief about it on the way here. There are two families in the village who own oxcarts. One is the village chief's family and the other is the Lin family. The village chief looks cold, but he actually has a good temper. I'll get something tomorrow Go visit him and mention this to him."

Zhou Shitang pointed to himself, his eyes bright, "Dad, I'll go with you."

Zhou Yancheng smiled and nodded.

The family packed up and went to bed early.

Early the next morning.

Zhou Yancheng took some bacon and some money and went to the village chief's house.

Zhou Shitang followed his father beside him, chirping, "Dad, I feel so free now. I don't have to work every day. I'm so exhausted from working. I just have to think of ways to make money now."

Zhou Yancheng glanced sideways at his daughter and said with a smile: "Be careful when going out, especially when going to the county town. We don't cause trouble, but that doesn't mean others won't deliberately cause trouble for us."

"I will definitely not cause trouble. I will keep a low profile and hope not to meet any big shots. I just want to live quietly." Zhou Shitang said.

The two chatted all the way and soon arrived at the village chief's house. The village chief's house was more elegant and had a large blue brick house. This was the second time Zhou Shitang came here. She really wanted to live in the house here and it had a lot of space.

Zhou Yancheng stepped forward and knocked on the door.

The person who opened the door was Xu Tiezhu, the eldest grandson of the village chief, a five-year-old boy with dark eyes. He raised his little head and looked at the two strangers with an immature look on his face, "Who are you looking for?"

Zhou Shitang rarely interacts with such a small baby, and it looks so cute. She suppressed her hands that were about to move, and smiled kindly, "We are looking for the village chief. Is the village chief at home?"

Xu Tiezhu nodded quickly, "Yes, grandpa is at home."

"Grandpa, someone is here! They're looking for you!" Xu Tiezhu turned around and ran away, shouting loudly.

Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "It's so cute."

Village Chief Xu heard his grandson's cry and walked out slowly. When he saw that they were two acquaintances, he still had a cold face and said, "What are you doing here?"

Xu Tiezhu stood obediently next to his grandfather and looked at Zhou Yancheng and the two curiously.

Zhou Yancheng handed out the bacon in his hand, "We want to go to the county town to see how to make money. We would like to ask if we can borrow the village chief's ox cart, and we will pay to rent it."

Village Chief Xu confiscated the bacon, "You don't need to bribe me with anything. The ox cart costs a penny per person. If you want to rent the whole car, it will cost [-] pence a day." "You can't starve my cow, nor can you tire it. Otherwise, don’t even think about renting it in the future.”

"That's natural." Zhou Yancheng said with a smile: "Thank you, village chief. I wonder how many people can be seated in an oxcart at a time?"

The village chief said calmly: "The weight of ten adult men."

Zhou Yancheng nodded with a smile, "Then we'll come over tomorrow."

He smiled and put the bacon into Xu Tiezhu's hand, "Child, this is meat, take it."

When Xu Tiezhu heard that it was meat, he sipped his saliva and subconsciously touched the package with his small hands.

Zhou Yancheng and his daughter turned around and ran away.

Village Chief Xu's face darkened, he grabbed the package and chased it out.

When Xu Tiezhu saw that the meat was gone, he sat directly on the ground and cried loudly, "Grandpa, I want to eat meat~wuwuwu~"

Village Chief Xu chased after him and only saw Zhou Yancheng's two figures walking away. He frowned. These two guys were running too fast.

Hearing his grandson's cry, he turned around and walked back. When he saw him lying on the ground rolling around, his face suddenly turned darker. He picked up Xu Tiezhu's collar and said, "Shut up, stop crying, we can't just accept other people's things. "

Xu Tiezhu was uncomfortable being carried, and his little face was red from crying. He looked at his grandfather's serious face with tears in his eyes, and said with a flat mouth, "That's meat, delicious meat."

Village Chief Xu said with a cold face, "How did I teach you? No matter how delicious it is, you can't accept it casually. If you accept someone else's benefit, you will be embarrassed to refuse anything they ask you to do."

Xu Tiezhu seemed to understand, but he didn't want to care so much. He looked at the package in his grandfather's hand with watery eyes, feeling pitiful.

Village Chief Xu sighed.

The grandson is still too young.

He'll understand when he's older.

there.

Zhou Shitang and the two ran very fast, running a thousand meters in the blink of an eye. They stopped only after they were sure that Village Chief Xu had not caught up.

Zhou Shitang took a few breaths and said, "The village chief is really nice. We can save a lot of things if we live here in the future."

Zhou Yancheng nodded, "Go back and adapt to the life here as soon as possible and integrate into it."

When the two of them were about to return home, they passed by the neighbor's house next door. The neighbor happened to open the door and saw the two of them. The door slammed shut again.

Zhou Shitang touched his nose. The neighbors were a bit hostile.

Zhou Yancheng didn't say anything and took his daughter home.

Zhou Mingyi and his men went to the mountain to cut a pile of wood and came back. Zhou Mingyi was going to make a cart, and then went to pull the yellow mud back to make a fence. The fence was still not very good.

Build a high fence and close the door so that people outside can't see what the people inside are doing.

Others are helping Zhou Mingyi.

Zhou Shiye saw his father and sister coming back and asked, "How is it? Did you borrow the bullock cart?"

Zhou Shitang walked towards them, "I borrowed it. The village chief is very nice. We will go to the county town tomorrow for a walk."

Zhou Shiye cheered, "Great, I can finally go out and play."

He himself has a fun-loving temperament, and he can't go anywhere in that area. He works every day, and others will wither. (End of chapter)
