70: Raising a wife, the whole village is inhaling the aroma of stewed meat.

The second sister-in-law laughed and said, "The eldest sister-in-law was generous with the oil; otherwise, it wouldn't smell good!"

Liu Yue'e said, "I was wondering why there was so much wolf oil; it's so much less today!"

The older sister-in-law laughed and said, "I'll use less oil next time."

"Oh no, that won't do. The third brother needs to eat oil; he's injured and needs to recover."

The eldest brother, second brother, eldest sister-in-law, and second sister-in-law all asked in surprise, "Is the third brother seriously injured?"

"It's nothing serious, just a superficial wound."

The third brother, Zhou Qingwen, laughed and said carelessly, "Eating a few more pieces of meat will make up for it!"

The whole family was happy, picking at the vegetables as they ate.

Everyone in the courtyard was happy.

Zhou Jinfeng placed a large piece of his favorite wolf belly meat into Zhou Qingwen's bowl: "Third Uncle, eat more meat, it will help your wound heal faster!"

"Well done! Your third uncle didn't spoil you for nothing!"

Zhou Jinfeng's face was flushed with laughter; he felt very happy to receive such praise from his third uncle.

After dinner, all the oil lamps in the house were brought out and lit.

The eldest and second eldest brothers were both busy processing the wolf meat.

After dealing with the situation, Zhou Feitian borrowed a wheelbarrow from the brigade leader's house, loaded it with wolf meat, and quietly went out under the moonlight.

Zhou Qingwen went along as well.

On the way, Zhou Feitian insisted that he push the car, and as a result, the car moved very slowly for the first half hour.

Later, Zhou Qingwen couldn't help but say, "Dad, I'll push the cart."

Then Zhou Qingwen pushed the cart ahead, moving very fast.

Zhou Feitian chased after him, occasionally jogging a few steps.

Zhou Qingwen sometimes slows down and waits for the old man.

"Dad, we've arrived."

Old Zhao was washing his mouth and getting ready to sleep when he heard a noise and immediately got up to check.

"Oh dear, I was just about to go to sleep, what brings you all here?"

"Uncle Zhao, we've brought wolf meat and wolf kidneys. Is it convenient for you to receive them now?"

"It's convenient, it's convenient. Just bring it in, and I'll get the scale."

Old Zhao immediately lit the oil lamp, covered it with a glass lid, and took it out along with the scale.

The three of them then weighed and recorded the results, and Wolf Kidney also counted them.

"Okay, I'll take a look."

Old Zhao remembered it in great detail.

"A total of four wolves were delivered. The price of a processed wolf is one cent higher."

"Okay, give me whatever you think is appropriate."

Zhou Qingwen glanced at the recorded weight.

39.5斤+42.6斤+37.8斤+36.5斤=156.4斤*0.56=87.548元。

"87 yuan and 5 mao will do," Zhou Qingwen said.

Old Zhao then said, "There are still six wolf pelts left, let me count."

7.5+6.5+7.1+7.2+8.2+7.8=44.3斤*0.35=15.5元

In addition, there are four pairs of kidneys, 4 * 15 = 60.

87.5 + 15.5 + 60 = 163 yuan.

Old Zhao used his abacus to calculate again and said, "Alright, since you delivered it so late, I'll give you a round number, 165 yuan."

"Thanks!"

Old Zhao went inside and took the money bag; he was all smiles.

He made a considerable profit from the wolf kidneys alone, by giving them to the person who wanted them for medicinal use.

Therefore, even if he pays Zhou Qing an extra two yuan, he still makes a profit.

Zhou Qingwen took the 165 yuan and stuffed it into his pocket. "Uncle Zhao, let's go back."

"Okay, take care, I have to get back to work."

"Okay, I'm leaving."

Zhou Qingwen never asked Old Zhao where he sold his wolf meat.

Because that's Old Zhao's channel.

Asking is something that most people wouldn't say.

After all, that channel was how Old Zhao made his living.

Some people hunt and sell their catch on the black market, but they are easily caught by the police and end up in jail.

On the way back, Zhou Qingwen had Zhou Feitian sit on the wheelbarrow and pushed him along.

Zhou Feitian was a little embarrassed when he first sat down, but after sitting for a while he realized...

He had to admire Zhou Qingwen. This guy could push him around without getting tired at all, and he could even chat with him from time to time.

His breathing was very steady.

Zhou Qingwen and his group were noticeably faster on their way back.

After arriving home, Zhou Qingwen pushed the wheelbarrow into the shed, took out the purse and gave it to Zhou Feitian, saying, "Dad, give this to Mom."

"Well, you've made quite a bit of money!"

"It's not much, just enough for household expenses."

"Okay, I'll tell your mom."

"Okay, go to bed early."

"Okay, sure."

Zhou Qingwen looked at the moon, which was hanging high in the sky. It was probably around 10 p.m.

It's inconvenient not having a watch; you can only guess the time.

Zhou Qingwen thought for a moment and asked, "Dad, how much does a watch cost in the county?"

Zhou Fei tightened his purse strings and said, "What do you need a watch for? Those things are ridiculously expensive."

"Oh, I want one."

Zhou Feitian tightened his grip slightly and said, "You wait, I'll spank you! You're thinking about buying this and that as soon as you earn a little money!"

Zhou Qingwen immediately ran out: "Dad, I'll earn the money myself to buy it. Don't chase after me, it's not a good thing."

Zhou Qingwen ran quite a distance before standing back and looking back.

Zhou Feitian grabbed a pair of shoes, then threw them on the ground and put them on.

"Didn't catch that brat!"

Zhou Feitian tightened his purse and turned back.

Zhou Qingwen nervously touched his chest; his heart was pounding!

Zhou Qingwen wasn't sleepy, so he went to the cowshed.

I walked to the window of Yu Yalan's room and peeked inside. The window was tightly closed.

You can't see anyone inside at all.

Zhou Qingwen circled around the window like a baby eager to drink milk.

In the end, there was no other way but to leave.

Just then, Yu Mingliang got up to relieve himself and saw a figure flash by outside. He immediately chased after it, shouting, "Who's there?"

"Hey, brother-in-law, it's me, Qingwen."

Yu Mingliang, wielding a tree branch, asked, "What are you doing here in the middle of the night instead of sleeping?"

Zhou Qingwen pinched his nose, then showed off another bag of meat, saying, "Brother-in-law, I brought three catties of wolf belly meat here, intending to give you some to nourish your bodies."

Yu Mingliang took the meat and said, "You're coming over tonight, no one will see you, right?"

"I'm not afraid of seeing you, because I'm going to marry Yalan in the future."

The commotion outside had already woken up Yu Yalan and Yu Yahui.

Yu Ya Hui whispered in her younger sister's ear, "Ya Lan, that boy's heart is only for you. He came to deliver wolf meat to our house in the middle of the night!"

"Second sister, please stop talking."

Yu Yalan was also quite happy.

"These days, forget about three pounds of meat; even for ordinary people, half a pound of meat is something only an elderly person in the family gets to eat on their birthday!"

Yu Ya Hui whispered in Yu Ya Lan's ear.

Yu Yalan cautiously peeked outside.

Zhou Qingwen happened to catch a glimpse of her clothes: "Brother-in-law, I'm going back now. Take this meat back with you, I'll come back in a few days."

Zhou Qingwen really wanted to have a chat with Yalan.

"Zhou Qingwen, your eyes keep looking into my sister's room. Go take a look, just one look!"

Yu Mingliang's tone softened a bit; he had initially thought some hooligans were bullying his sisters in the middle of the night.

Yu Mingliang is very alert even at night.

I'm just worried that something might happen to my two younger sisters.

That would ruin your entire life!

Zhou Qingwen walked towards the room, his footsteps growing closer.

Yu Yalan immediately had her second sister push her forward: "Hey, you two chat for a while."

Yu Yalan never expected that her second sister would push her out.

Yu Yalan was wearing a rather thin outfit.
