Chapter 69
Sufferers suddenly increased, Mrs. Zhou could no longer suppress the anger in her heart, picked up the broom and swiped at Zhou Er and Ma Shi.

"Bad bastard! I must beat you two to death today."

The old lady Zhou was so angry that the second-bedroom couple led the Ma brothers behind Zhou's back to sell the frogs.

She didn't see any money.

Now that she has to pay compensation, how could Mrs. Zhou be reconciled to suffering such a big loss.

"If you don't have any money, if you want to lose money, go to Ma's house." Mrs. Zhou simply broke the pot.

"Old lady, what you said is wrong."

"We have already been to the Ma's family. The Ma's brothers said that they are just thugs. The real ones are your son and daughter-in-law. If we don't go to your Zhou family, who else can we go to?"

A group of people yelled, and it was very noisy for a while.

In the end, it was Sun Lizheng who came forward to suppress the matter and forced the Zhou family to pay for compensation.

"The people in our Dashi Village are pure in character and dare to act.

"If anyone makes a mistake and still messes around, get the hell out of Dashi Village. I can't let a piece of rat droppings muddy the whole pot of porridge and ruin the reputation of my Dashi Village."

Sun Lizheng looked over Mrs. Zhou to look at Mr. Zhou: "Zhou Youcai!"

Mr. Zhou was shocked and shivered, knowing that Lizheng was really angry this time.

"We will pay, we will pay, we will definitely pay." Mr. Zhou agreed.

Stretching out his hand, he asked Old Madam Zhou for money: "Where's the money?"

Mrs. Zhou refused to give it, so don't overdo it.

Mr. Zhou sighed, and lowered his voice: "Stop doing it, quickly take out the money, maybe you want to be kicked out of the village by Lizheng."

There are hundreds of households in Dashi Village, and there are countless unmarried men and women.

If something about the Zhou family ruined the reputation of the village and affected the marriage, then their old Zhou family would become the village's sinners, a crime that Mr. Zhou couldn't bear.

"Second brother, didn't they sell it for money?"

The old lady Zhou said sharply: "Let them take out the money from selling frogs and the money they saved privately before, and hand them over to make up for it."

Mrs. Zhou only had three sons. The eldest Zhou joined Xu's family, which is considered a disguised separation of the family. Only Zhou Er and Zhou Lao San were with her.

Before the accident, she turned a blind eye to the matter of the second wife's private house savings, but now she can't tolerate it.

"Second brother, second daughter-in-law, didn't you hear what your mother said, quickly take out all the money in your hand!" Mr. Zhou scolded.

Zhou Laoer and his wife had no choice but to go back to the house and rummaged through boxes and cabinets to find a purse, which contained more than 400 Wen.

"Hmph!" Mrs. Zhou snorted coldly, gouging out Ma Shi's eyes fiercely.

He rushed directly into the second room, found a pair of silver earrings and a silver slip of Ma Shi, and gave them to the victim as money.

"Mother, this is my dowry."

Mashi stomped her feet and turned around anxiously. The dowry is a woman's lifeblood and treasure, of course she disagreed.

"If you don't agree, get out of Zhou's house!"

"Second, divorce your wife!" Mrs. Zhou looked at Mrs. Ma coldly.

Divorce, divorce your wife?
Ma Shi sat down on the ground in fright. If she was divorced, would she still have a way out?

Mrs. Zhou glanced at them, filled up some silver and handed them over to the sufferer, and then sent them away.

After everyone left, Mrs. Zhou couldn't bear it anymore, picked up the broom again, chased Mrs. Ma all over the yard and beat him desperately.

"Ouch! Ouch!"

Ma Shi bared her teeth and yelled, begging for mercy while running: "Mother, I know I was wrong, mother, please let you spare me, mother..."

"To shut up!"

The old lady Zhou yelled loudly, leaning on the broom and panting heavily, "Today I lost a total of two taels of silver. Our old Zhou family can't pay for this money by ourselves, and the Ma family must share half of it."

"Second, take your wife back to her natal home. If she can't get back the one tael of silver, she doesn't have to come back."

Mrs. Zhou put down harsh words and kicked Mrs. Ma out of the house.

"Mom, don't drive me back!"

"I am the daughter-in-law of the Zhou family. I was born as a member of the Zhou family and died as a ghost of the Zhou family. I will not leave!"

Crying and howling, Mrs. Ma slammed on the courtyard door vigorously.

The old lady Zhou's face was as cold as ice, unmoved.

Mr. Zhou opened his mouth and turned his head to look: "The second daughter-in-law..."

Before the words were finished, Mrs. Zhou's sharp eyes turned sideways, and Mr. Zhou shut his mouth wisely, and the two of them went back to the upper room.

Wait for the people in the yard to leave.

Fat Miao'er looked at Zhou Ya in surprise. The commotion just now was so loud that she didn't believe that Zhou Ya couldn't hear it, but she acted as if she hadn't heard it, and picked vegetables on her own.

Fat Miao'er was a little curious about what she was thinking.

With a movement of his eyes, he walked towards the ditch, lowered his voice and said, "Sister Ya'er, the second aunt was driven away by the grandmother, why don't you go and beg for mercy?"

Hearing this, Zhou Ya's action of picking beans paused, and soon returned to normal, pretending he didn't hear him, and continued to do the work in hand.

Fat Miao'er knew that he was bored, so he grinned and walked to the southeast corner of the garden, where there was a small hole, bent his body and got out, and made a detour back home.

Two hours later.

Wei Shu, who sells wild vegetable dumplings and bone soup, and Liu Ye'er and Luo Pan, who catch frogs, arrive home respectively.

The number this time is still not ideal, only more than 30.

The two were downcast.

Compass is even more like a little old man, sitting on a small stool, moaning and sighing while peeling.

"Third Brother, don't worry!" Fat Miao'er came over and sat beside Compass.

"I've already told the village to harvest the frogs."

Ok?
Harvest frogs?
Luo Pan's eyes moved, and he asked, "How much did you charge?"

"One penny and one penny." Fat Miao'er stretched out her fleshy little finger.

Compass thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's okay."

He also thought about the method of spending money to collect frogs, but he didn't implement it because he couldn't bear the money after all, but he didn't want Fat Miaoer to do it first.

"Charge more!" Compass reminded.

"Without catching frogs, we can free up manpower, not only in the town, but also in the surrounding villages, and even... the county!"

A strange light flashed in Compass' eyes.

I heard that the county seat is a particularly prosperous place, and it only takes two hours to go back and forth by donkey cart.

He has longed for it for a long time, but unfortunately he has not been there yet.

"Yeah!" Fat Miao'er nodded again and again: "The county seat is good, when the time comes, the five of us will go to the county seat together."

This idea was strongly supported by Fat Miao'er, she raised her hands in favor, and the whole person looked forward to the trip to the county.

"time to eat!"

At this time, Li Xiaodao shouted.

The rice is ready, very rich, scrambled eggs with leeks, fried pork with shredded eggplant, big bone sticks, and reserved boiled frog.

Put the bowls and chopsticks neatly on the table.

The five people washed their hands and started.

After a meal, just as the table was cleared, there was a knock on the door of the house.

The frog seller is here.
