Chen Qiaoer took the meat bun and was about to stuff it into her mouth when she heard Chen Ermao's voice coming from the door.
"Oh, you've already eaten meat buns. It seems like you are really lucky."
Hearing his movements, Qiaoer immediately hid behind Chen Xiaobei and looked at Chen Ermao nervously.
Chen Xiaobei showed no fear. He raised his chest and asked in a deep voice, "Chen Ermao, the three days promised are not here yet."
Chen Ermao laughed, "Don't be in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you're not in a hurry. Let me make it clear, it's the same if you don't give money to others." As he spoke, his eyes glanced at Chen Qiaoer again intentionally or unintentionally.
Chen Xiaobei stepped forward again, stopped in front of Chen Qiaoer, and yelled fiercely, "Chen Ermao, please remember this. If you try to have Qiaoer's ideas again, I will fight you to the death."
Chen Ermao chuckled and waved his hand, "Brother Xiaobei, don't worry, I'll discuss another business with you."
Chen Xiaobei couldn't figure out for a while what kind of medicine Chen Ermao's gourd was selling.
"You tell me."
Chen Ermao chuckled and said, "You also know that Cui Hongyu has killed three men. How can anyone from all over the country dare to take her? You might as well collect her dowry and sell her to me."
"Anyway, she has been kicked out by the Cui family. Even if she is lost, I believe Cui Fugui will not come looking for her!"
This tnd is too stupid. It has set its sights on my sister, and now it has set its sights on my unmarried daughter-in-law.
Chen Xiaobei was furious at the time, "Chen Ermao, don't say that Cui Hongyu and I are not even close to each other now. Even if she really comes into my house, she is still my Chen Xiaobei's woman. Even if I eat chaffy vegetables, I can't I will never sell my woman."
At this moment, Chen Ermao looked at Chen Xiaobei with eyes full of surprise and doubt.
If Chen Qiaoer is not sold, it can be explained by the fact that she is his sister, but as for Cui Hongyu, this is a person who is not related to him, and she is also a woman who is jealous.
He couldn't understand that Chen Xiaobei would glare at him for such a woman.
"Okay, I really didn't expect Brother Xiaobei to be a man who values love and justice, so just pretend I didn't say anything about it."
Seeing Chen Ermao leaving like this, Chen Xiaobei felt uneasy.
Unexpectedly, before Chen Qiaoer's matter was resolved, Chen Ermao had already set his sights on Cui Hongyu, but he and Cui Hongyu hadn't even gotten close to each other yet.
What he didn't expect was that this move would come soon.
Chen Qiaoer ate two steamed buns and began to watch the ants climbing the tree with satisfaction, while Chen Xiaobei leaned under the big locust tree to enjoy the cool air.
Just then, the chief came.
The chief's name is Chen Anbang.
Speaking of which, Chen Xiaobei had to call his grandfather, "Second Grandpa, why are you here? Sit down quickly."
Chen Qiaoer entered the room, came out with the three-legged bench, and shoved it in front of Chen Anbang.
"Second Grandpa, please sit down."
Chen Anbang smiled and patted Qiao'er on the head, then took the stool and sat down, looking at Chen Xiaobei with a smile on his face.
"Xiaobei, your parents passed away early, and you two brothers and sisters have suffered a lot in the past few years."
Chen Xiaobei didn't understand Chen Anbang's intention for a while, so he could only make a few perfunctory remarks.
Within three sentences, Chen Anbang got to the point, "I heard from your second aunt Xiumei that you have agreed to marry the Cui family."
Chen Xiaobei felt embarrassed when he heard this. When did I promise? I didn't promise.
"Second Grandpa, actually I..."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Anbang stopped him again, "I know Hong Yu is also a miserable girl."
"But don't worry, I asked Cui Banxian to help you figure it out. Your life is very tough. It'll be fine. Trust me."
Chen Xiaobei really couldn't understand why everyone was suddenly so concerned about his marriage, and why he must marry Cui Hongyu?
"Second Grandpa, you also know the situation of my family. There is no eldest son, so how can I get a wife?"
"Besides, my family only has two acres of land. Qiao'er and I can't even get enough to eat. Cui Hongyu is here. There won't be enough food for three mouths."
Hearing Chen Xiaobei's words, Chen Anbang smiled slightly, "Old Cui has made a promise. If your family has any difficulties, you can go to him at any time. He is willing to subsidize it to the end."
The more favorable the conditions, the more evil there is.
"Second Grandpa, can you let me think about this again?"
Unexpectedly, Chen Anbang stood up directly and said, "Don't think about it. You don't have parents. It's just the village that has the final say. I've already taken care of this for you."
"By the way, Cui Hongyu will move to your house in three days. You should clean it up early. I will send two people to help you clean the yard later."
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster. Whether it is the second aunt from the west neighbor or the head of the village, Chen Anbang, everyone is trying their best to get Cui Hongyu to marry into their family. Why on earth is this?
He can't figure it out yet, but it's not important at the moment. What's important is that he has to catch pheasants tonight, and the two taels of silver haven't been enough yet.
In the evening, he still sent Chen Qiaoer to Dachun's home, and rushed to ambush while it was still dark.
Again he took a few wild eggs from several nests. Only the lack of eggs can cause confusion for pheasants.
Obviously, the pheasant was smarter than he thought. It was not until long after dark that a few pairs of small bright spots quietly appeared in the grass in the distance.
Three or four pheasants walked back to their roost and began wandering back and forth.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly understood that the pheasants were really smart and actually sent scouts. These three or four pheasants were here to explore the way.
These pheasants wandered around for about a quarter of an hour, and seemed to feel that there was no danger, so they started to coo.
Soon, dozens of pairs of small bright spots appeared in the grass in the distance. One after another, the pheasants finally returned.
However, when the pheasant discovered that it had fewer eggs, it started wandering around aimlessly just like last night.
After all, their intelligence is still limited.
But this time Chen Xiaobei was not in a hurry to take action.
He was more prepared than last night. In addition to a net, he also had a stone in his hand.
I saw a flock of pheasants in chaos. He threw the stone at the place where the pheasants were most densely packed.
The already chaotic flock of pheasants immediately scattered in all directions, thrashing and hopping around wildly.
Everything went as he expected. More than a dozen pheasants arrived under the tree in a hurry. The opportunity was not to be missed, and it would never come again.
Chen Xiaobei went down with a net in his pocket.
This time, at least three were caught in the net. Then he used his hands and feet to hold down two more pheasants.
Tonight's catch was even bigger than last night, with a total of five caught.
Chen Xiaobei was so happy that he paid three hundred and fifty for one and sold five of them! Darling, in addition to repaying Chen Ermao's gambling debt, I still have a lot left in my hands.
When he left this time, he still made a mark. However, he also understood that the so-called "three-step solution" means that the possibility of the pheasant coming back is very small. The main reason he marked it was to be able to take back all the pheasant eggs so that Qiaoer could replenish his health.
But sometimes the ideal is very full, and the reality is very skinny. The next day, Chen Xiaobei was full of confidence and got up early to go to the county town to sell pheasants, but he waited until almost noon and didn't sell any pheasants.
The great philanthropist Cao Butler did not show up yesterday, and even the vegetable seller Lao Wu felt a little sorry for Chen Xiaobei.
