As soon as he finished speaking, the Li brothers opened the door and saw three tall black figures standing at the door, which made Chen Rou scream in fright.
It turned out that when the three of them heard that Zhao Feng had received the bounty today, they hurriedly came to Zhao Feng to collect the debt, fearing that Zhao Feng would have no money if they arrived too late.
At this time, they had obviously forgotten Zhao Feng's previous warning, and they all looked at Zhao Feng with sneers on their faces.
Zhao Feng suddenly grabbed the crossbow and raised his hand, and a wooden crossbow arrow was instantly nailed to the door!
The Li brothers didn't expect that Zhao Feng would dare to do it for real, and they were frightened and took a step back.
Zhao Feng walked to the door and said coldly: "I think you have forgotten what I told you before. Do you want to try my arrow technique for killing tigers?"
The Li brothers were startled when they looked at the crossbow in Zhao Feng's hand, and then gritted their teeth and said.
"Don't be so arrogant, we are here to collect debts!"
"Yes, repaying debts is a matter of course!"
Zhao Feng sneered and took out two taels of silver.
Looking at the silver in Zhao Feng's hand, the three Li brothers' eyes suddenly lit up and they hurriedly reached out to get it.
Zhao Feng asked coldly: "Where is the written evidence?"
They took out the written documents from their bodies. Zhao Feng looked at them and realized that they probably didn't even recognize a few words. Not only were there typos on them, but even Zhao Feng's signature only had a fingerprint.
But this was the paper in his memory, so Zhao Feng gave them the money and tore up the paper.
The Li brothers watched Zhao Feng take out the two taels of silver without changing their expressions. They immediately guessed that Zhao Feng must have received a lot of rewards, which made them put on smiling expressions and said to Zhao Feng.
"Oh, Brother Zhao, as long as you have money, we won't make it difficult for you!"
"Seeing as you've been lucky these past two days, would you like to play a few games?"
Hearing what they said, Zhao Feng put down his crossbow, shook his head and said, "No need, I don't want to see you again!"
After saying this, Zhao Feng turned around and walked in, slamming the door shut.
The Li brothers were so angry that they had no choice but to leave in anger.
But the three of them discussed it on the way, and the boss of the Li family lowered his voice.
"That Zhao Feng has been very proud these days. I guess he still has at least a dozen taels of silver on hand!"
The second and third oldest children all looked surprised: "How many can there be?"
Then a crooked idea came up: "If we can swindle this money, we can have food and drink for more than half a year!"
The boss of the Li family also nodded, with a hint of thought on his face: "No, we have to find a way, I don't believe he won't fall for it!"
Saying this, the three of them left directly, planning to set up a trap to deceive Zhao Feng.
Zhao Feng returned to the room. Seeing Chen Rou still looking frightened, he couldn't help but comforted him a few words, and then said.
"We have some money now, but hunting all the time is not an option. Not only is it dangerous, but it also depends on the weather. We have to find a way to keep making money!"
Hearing Zhao Feng's words, Chen Rou instinctively wanted to refuse.
From Chen Rou's point of view, Zhao Feng has finally settled down now. If he continues to follow some crooked ways, he may not even have this little money left.
But before Chen Rou could speak, Zhao Feng shook his head and said, "Don't think about it for now. I'll be hunting around the county these days. Maybe I can find a living."
Chen Rou swallowed the words that came to her lips and nodded very submissively.
In the next few days, Zhao Feng relied on the traps he made to catch some more prey. In addition to selling them to support his family, he also asked Chen Rou to send some to Chen Shan's family.
Firstly, it was to thank Chen Shan for helping him create the traps before, and secondly, it was also to establish a good relationship with Chen Rou's natal family.
This also made the conditions of Zhao Feng's family much better. When others didn't even have enough food to eat, they could eat some meat every now and then.
With nutritional supplements, Zhao Feng and Chen Rou are getting better, and they are no longer as sallow and thin as before.
This also makes Chen Rou more beautiful and charming.
As soon as Zhao Feng came back from the county town that day, he saw Chen Rou sitting at home with a worried look on her face, and started to dry the wild vegetables again.
Zhao Feng came over and asked with some confusion: "Don't we already have a lot of food?"
"What are you doing drying these wild vegetables again?"
Chen Rou sighed with worry and said to Zhao Feng.
"You don't know, I went back to my parents' house today and heard that many crops in Chenjiazhuang have died due to drought!"
As she spoke, Chen Rou looked up at the sky, her face full of anxiety.
"It hasn't rained yet. I'm afraid this year will be another drought year!"
"If a drought comes, not only will there be no harvest in the fields, I'm afraid the price of food in the county will also increase!"
"With the food we have now, it's definitely not enough, so we still have to eat wild vegetables!"
Chen Rou's words made Zhao Feng suddenly realize that he had been here for a long time, and it seemed that it had not rained yet.
The characteristic of this agriculture is that it depends on the weather for food. If it doesn't rain, there may be disaster!
Thinking of this, Zhao Feng quickly asked.
"What about our land? Is it dry too?"
Chen Rou looked at Zhao Feng helplessly: "My husband, have you forgotten? You are a gangster and you have no land of your own!"
As she spoke, Chen Rou tapped her chin: "My family does have a few acres of land, but the drought is severe. Fortunately, my family doesn't rely on the food in the land, so we don't have to worry."
Zhao Feng rubbed his chin and thought for a while. In fact, there was a river around the village, but the river was located so low that the water could not flow up.
Although Zhao Feng has no land, he cannot just watch the price of food rise.
With the money he has now, he plans to build a new house and buy some furniture!
If it was really all used to buy food, wouldn’t all the hard work during this period be in vain?
Of course, more importantly, after experiencing the baptism of business in later generations, Zhao Feng felt that this matter was an opportunity, but how to seize this opportunity in his own hands?
Zhao Feng looked at the wild vegetables that Chen Rou was drying, and then looked up at the sun in the sky. Then his eyes suddenly lit up, and he patted his thigh and said.
"I have an idea!"
Chen Rou turned her head and looked at Zhao Feng curiously.
"Ms. sir, what do you have in mind?"
Zhao Feng chuckled and said to Chen Rou.
"If this idea of mine is used well, it will not only allow us to have enough to eat this year, but it may also allow us to make a lot of money!"
Chen Rou suddenly looked at Zhao Feng in surprise.
Zhao Feng grabbed Chen Rou's little hand: "Stop drying these wild vegetables now, let's hurry up and go to your house!"
"By the way, bring some of the prey you brought back with you. This time you have to ask your father-in-law to help!"
Although Chen Rou was full of doubts, she couldn't defeat Zhao Feng and had to follow Zhao Feng to Chenjiazhuang.
