Chapter 330
Niu wanted to refute at first, but seeing the man's ugly face, he didn't dare to say any more, and quickly pulled back the old lady who was cursing on the ground.

Seeing the old lady go, Liu Chengpeng said, "Chengxiang, we are a family, don't make trouble outside, let others see the joke! Let's leave the matter of rice here, and our family will not ask you for a grain of rice in the future!"

Old man Liu retorted when he heard the handsome elder brother say something like this: "Please remember what you said, don't be like farting, if you talk here, let it out there! Except for the old mother's pension money and old-age rice. , Don’t try to get a grain of rice from our house in the future!”

"No, not even a single one!" Liu Chengpeng smiled apologetically, "Okay, this is our own business, so don't make too much fuss!"

Old man Liu won the riot this time, and walked home with his hands behind his back.

Looking at the back of his second brother, Liu Chengpeng gasped in anger.

When did this second brother become so cunning and shameless?

If it continues like this, it will not be easy for his family to take advantage of the second brother again!
Fortunately, his sons have grown up, and the family still has fields, so life is much better than that of the second brother's family.

Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhihui saw their father came back, and quickly asked, "Father, how are you doing now?"

"Hey, your second uncle has changed. He is not as honest as before. Don't try to take advantage of him in the future!" Liu Chengpeng said with a sigh.

Niu said angrily at the side: "It must be the trick of the second brother and sister who has a heart!"

"This unfilial second child, don't care about my mother, what my mother says doesn't work at all..." The old lady cried in the yard.

Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhihui shook their heads after hearing this, "Just now we said we would buy it with money..."

"Didn't I want to save some money for you brothers? You didn't stop me when I went, and now you blame me?" the old lady retorted.

Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhihui couldn't argue with their grandmother, thinking that there were still errands in the county, so they each brought twenty catties of rice from home and prepared to go back to the county.

As soon as I went out, I met an old man in the village. Seeing the two brothers, they smiled and said, "Oh, Zhiwen, Zhihui, you two really cost your second uncle 38 taels of silver?"

"Master, there is no such thing. When will we spend the second uncle's money? When we were studying, we did borrow a few hundred wen from the second uncle to pay for school, and we paid it back later..." Liu Zhiwen Open your eyes and talk nonsense.

Uncle Liu laughed after hearing this, "Your second uncle is an honest man, he won't tell lies..."

After finishing speaking, Uncle Liu curled his lips and walked away with a basket on his back.

The two brothers Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhihui looked at each other after hearing this. The second uncle is an honest man and can't tell lies. In turn, the two brothers are dishonest and can tell lies?

Before the two brothers could react, someone said: "You two brothers also have decent errands in the county. If you want to eat rice from your second uncle's house, just use the money to buy it. After all, your second uncle's family has more than a dozen people. People count on this little food.

It's good for you, let your old lady go to your second uncle's house to ask for things to supplement your family, even if your second uncle has a wealth of wealth, it is not enough for you to rake..."

Hearing this, the two brothers were dumbfounded.

Since when did Second Uncle become so popular in the village?Why do so many people speak for the second uncle?

Brothers Liu Zhiwen and Liu Zhihui came out of the house and were ridiculed by many people in the village along the way. The two of them blushed and complained in their hearts that their second uncle was talking nonsense outside.

However, they didn't have the guts to confront the second uncle. They did spend a lot of money on the second uncle.As for how much, they themselves can't remember.

Old man Liu came back in a hurry, Liu Yiyi hurriedly said: "Grandpa is mighty!"

Hearing this, old man Liu picked up his little granddaughter, smiled and said, "Grandpa was too stupid in the past, and let everyone suffer along with him. In the future, we won't be able to save face and suffer like before."

"Well, yes." Liu Yiyi nodded, "Grandpa is awesome!"

Now that wheat has been sown in the field, it does not require much manpower, so the old man Liu took his son and grandson to pick some wild fruits, wild chestnuts, and wild walnuts on the mountain together.

Because old man Liu and the others are diligent, they can gain a lot every day when they go out.The mushrooms and fungus that were picked up were also dried and stored for eating during the winter.

Let's say that Liu Zhiwen brought twenty catties of rice with him and the more he ate, the more delicious he was, so he wanted to come back and buy it.

"Second uncle, look, can you sell all your rice to me? I'll give you five cents a catty. This price is higher than the rice in the county!" Liu Zhiwen said with a smile, this time he dare not let The old lady came over and asked for it directly.

The second uncle yelled in the village for a while last time, and the villagers are still laughing at him behind his back.

Old man Liu thought for a while, then shook his head, "I sold it to the villagers for four pennies. They are rice seeds, and they all belong to the villagers, so I am too embarrassed to ask for more money.

In addition, [-] catties of rice in my family can produce [-] catties of rice, which is much higher than the ordinary [-] catties of rice, so it is not worthwhile for me to give me five cents per catty of rice.

The most important thing is that my rice tastes good, and it can be sold for twice the price outside.After all this coming and going, do you think it is too much to give me five cents to buy those bad rice? "

Hearing this, Liu Zhiwen smiled sarcastically, "Then six cents, second uncle, do you think this is okay? The rice is only seven cents a catty."

"No, if you want to buy it, it's only fifteen cents a catty, nothing less." Old man Liu refused, don't take him for a fool.

The grains of rice in his family are plump, and the dry rice is cooked more than ordinary rice.

"Fifteen cents? Second uncle, are you kidding? It's much more expensive than polished rice. Instead of eating your rice, it's better to buy fragrant rice from the south!" Liu Zhiwen was anxious, and the second uncle opened his mouth loudly. It's too much.

Old man Liu smiled, "Whether you like to buy it or not, or you can wait until next year, when many people have planted it, and you can buy it cheap."

Liu Zhiwen became anxious, "Second Uncle, ten cents a catty of rice, that's a high price!"

"It's only fifteen cash, nothing less." Old man Liu could see that Liu Zhiwen just wanted to buy it, so of course he had to take advantage of it.

"It's so expensive, Second Uncle can keep it for himself." Liu Zhiwen left angrily.

Seeing Liu Zhiwen leave, old man Liu felt a little regretful, "Oh, ten pennies a catty, isn't it enough?"

Liu Yiyi was sitting next to her grandfather, eavesdropping all the time, "Our rice is delicious, delicious... Grandpa doesn't sell it..."

But when Liu Zhiwen returned to his home in the county seat, he found that the rice at home was missing, and it turned out that his wife had given it to the owner of the restaurant.
