, wonderful and free of pop-ups! Yang Ruoqing said: "I accepted it because I didn't want to go against his wishes."
"But if I burn it myself, my mother and the others will definitely ask where it came from."
"After much thought, I still don't want my mother and others to know that Mu Zichuan sent me charcoal in private!"
She has made it very clear to Mu Zichuan today.
Just this once, never again.
I believe he will never come again.
Yang Ruoqing felt that this little episode could be kept away from the kind-hearted parents.
If they knew about it and felt grateful in their hearts, they would inevitably have some entanglements when they turned back.
"Tangyaozi, take your charcoal back and burn it."
Yang Ruoqing urged again.
Luo Fengtang thought for a while and nodded: "Yes!"
"It's in the kitchen. I'll get it for you."
Yang Ruoqing turned around and entered the kitchen.
"Huh?"
Then a surprised cry came from her in the kitchen.
"What's wrong Qing'er?"
Luo Fengtang followed in immediately.
Yang Ruoqing pointed to the corner of the wall with a confused look on her face.
"No, I just put the charcoal here, but why did it disappear as soon as I turned around?"
she asked.
"Maybe he put it somewhere else? Look for it again?"
Luo Fengtang suggested.
"It's impossible. The place I put it in is absolutely correct."
She said very firmly.
Luo Fengtang was also confused. He scratched his head and looked around.
"A mouse can't hold it in its mouth, and coals won't fly away by themselves. Third Aunt and the others are all warming themselves by the fire in the house. Could it be..."
"It must have been stolen." Yang Ruoqing concluded.
Just now she put the charcoal in the corner, closed the kitchen door and went to the next room.
She thought about the blue sky and white sun, and everyone was in the next room.
Logically speaking, there are no such bold thieves.
I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it, this thief is so brave!
"Who could have stolen it?"
Yang Ruoqing held her chin and thought about it.
The first suspect that flashed in my mind was my fourth aunt.
The fourth aunt is one month old and has started jumping around again recently.
Maybe he came back from the latrine and came to the kitchen to peek.
Then he saw it and took advantage of it.
Damn it!
"Catching thieves and catching stolen goods, Qing'er Mo Duo guessed, just be careful next time."
Luo Fengtang comforted him from the side.
Yang Ruoqing nodded, that was all she could do.
"Qing'er, I'll leave first."
"okay."
Luo Fengtang left.
Yang Ruoqing was still standing in the kitchen, looking at the empty corner and frowning.
It seemed that the charcoal given by Mu Zichuan was destined to fail.
What an arrogant thief, it’s best not to be caught by your sister when you turn around!
…
In the front yard of Mr. Liu’s house.
Yang Huaming was sitting on a stool with his legs crossed and cracking melon seeds.
Mrs. Liu sneaked into the house, turned back and closed the door tightly.
"Daddy He'er, I have a happy event to tell you!"
Mrs. Liu turned around and ran towards Yang Huaming.
Yang Huaming took a look at Liu's big belly and was so frightened that he almost slipped off the stool.
"Oh Mom, why did my belly get bigger again after I went to the toilet? I haven't touched you for more than a month..."
"嘁~"
Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes at Yang Huaming, lifted up the hem of her clothes, and pulled out a small twine bag.
"Daddy He'er, come and see what this is!"
"What?"
Yang Huaming looked over and saw what was in the bag, and his eyes lit up.
He threw the melon seeds in his hand onto the plate, reached out and fished out a piece of charcoal and looked at it in front of his eyes.
"Hehe, this is second-grade charcoal. This is what is burned in the Yongxian House in winter. It is very warm!"
Yang Huaming smacked his lips and said.
"How did you get it?" he asked Liu immediately.
Mrs. Liu looked proud and said in a low voice: "I came back from using the toilet and saw that the kitchen door in the third room was unlocked, so I slipped in and took a look."
"When I saw this, I was afraid that some fat guy bought it, so I brought it back."
"Well, if you don't take it, it's for nothing!" Yang Huaming nodded in approval.
Mr. Liu was even more proud.
"Daddy He'er, let's get a brazier later and burn this charcoal in the house to keep warm." Mrs. Liu said.
"If my mother asks me about it, let's just say it was sent by my mother's family. How about that?"
Yang Huaming glared at Mrs. Liu: "What are we doing with this thing? It's just a waste of money."
"If you ask me, it's better to sell it and exchange it for money." Yang Huaming said.
"Where to sell it? The villagers are all poor and can't afford to burn it!" Mrs. Liu said.
Yang Huaming said: "Don't worry about this. I'll give it to my second brother and let him help sell it."
"Second brother is in town, so you still have to send him to town?" Ms. Liu asked.
"Second brother and his father-in-law are celebrating their birthdays these two days, and their whole family has returned to the village." Yang Huaming said.
"Sure, then you can get rid of it later."
"I'll go right away."
Yang Huaming put on a coat, hid the bag containing five kilograms of charcoal under his arm, and hurried out the door.
Old Yang's house at the south end of the village.
Yang Huaming found Yang Hualin, and the two brothers came to the door of the house to talk.
Yang Huaming told Yang Hualin about this, and Yang Hualin narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly.
"I've heard in town that Sanfang and Juweixuan are doing tofu business. I'm afraid they made a lot of money. All the charcoal was burned!"
Yang Hualin looked angry.
Yang Huaming didn't pay attention to these, and only urged Yang Hualin.
"Second brother, help me get rid of this charcoal so I can get some pocket money."
Yang Hualin's eyes fell back into the bag, he thought about it and said, "This second-grade charcoal sells for eight cents per catty in town. I'll take the five cents for you."
When Yang Huaming heard the price, he started shouting anxiously.
"Second brother, why did your monkey sperm come onto my head?"
"This second-grade charcoal is obviously worth ten cents a pound. Are you considering me buying it?"
Yang Huaming raised his neck and said.
"There were charcoal burning in the Yongxian House at home, and my mother sent me to buy them!"
Yang Hualin glared at Yang Huaming angrily.
"You got this charcoal from a shady source, and it's not a big quantity. It won't be easy to sell in the town."
"I think you are a brother, so I help you out. Do you have to give me some errand fees?"
"If you think the price is low, find a way out on your own."
Yang Hualin turned around to go back to the house. Yang Huaming gritted his teeth and said, "It's done, five cents is five cents!"
Even the bag and charcoal were all given to Yang Hualin.
Yang Hualin paid twenty-five cents and sent Yang Huaming away.
Yang Huaming returned to the house carrying the charcoal bag.
Yang pulled him aside and asked carefully.
After listening to Yang Hualin's words, Yang looked unhappy.
There he scolded Yang Hualin: "Five pounds of charcoal won't be easy to sell even if you put it in my brother's shop. You're doing this loss-making business and you're still a monkey!"
Yang Hualin said with a smile: "I accept his charcoal, of course it will be useful."
"Didn't you say you were going to Lao Mu's house for a meeting later?"
"It doesn't look like I'm going empty-handed. I just happened to have this charcoal with me."
"Just say it's for Zichuan to warm up his books at night. Widow Liu will definitely be happy." Yang Hualin said.
Upon hearing this, Yang also beamed.
"Well, charcoal is something that farmers can't afford to burn. Anyway, we got it cheaply. I'll bring it with me later!"
