Chapter 25 The family must be rich and willing to spend money
Aunt Fang also came to fetch water with a wooden bucket. She saw a fair and tender little girl sitting by the well, and her eyes lit up.

She twisted her plump waist and strode over, with a smile on her face that even showed wrinkles, "Little girl, you look white and tender. You must have grown up eating eggs every day."

She has never seen such a charming little girl.

The family must be very rich and willing to spend money.

Zhou Shitang turned around and shook his head, "I don't eat eggs every day."

She looked down at her fingers, which were tanned and rough from work, and she could feel her skin getting worse.

However, compared with the girl who has been working since childhood, she is still fair and tender. No wonder the aunt said that she looks fair and tender.

Aunt Fang didn't believe what Zhou Shitang said. She looked so slim, so she had to eat a lot of good food.

She did not miss this good opportunity to sell her eggs and continued: "I raise a lot of old hens at home, and the old hens lay a lot of eggs. If you want to eat eggs, you can come to my house and buy them. I can sell them to you cheaper. "

"By the way, my house is not far ahead." Aunt Fang pointed her finger and introduced enthusiastically, "This is the road. You keep walking. The one with two trees at the door is my house. You can see it at a glance after walking over. Saw it."

Zhou Shitang: "..."

Does she look like a rich person?
Although it may be a bit similar, it can be seen from the clothes she is wearing that she is not having a good life now.

Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "Mom, if I want to eat eggs in the future, I will go to your house to buy them. I already remember where your house is."

The smile on Aunt Fang's face widened, she waved her hand and said in a pleasant voice, "You are welcome to come anytime."

Zhou Shitang nodded, feeling that the water was almost full, and quickly pulled it up.

Aunt Fang walked over enthusiastically and said, "You have to go out to fetch water alone at such a young age. You probably don't have the strength. Let me help you pull the water up."

As soon as she walked to Zhou Shitang, ready to help, she saw that Zhou Shitang had already pulled up the water.

Aunt Fang was surprised, "I didn't expect you to be quite strong even though you are small. By the way, where is your home?"

She grew up here and knew that many prisoners would be exiled here.

This little girl's family must have been a wealthy one, otherwise they wouldn't have been able to raise her to have such tender skin and tender flesh.

For these wealthy families, even if they are exiled, their money will still be there. Maybe they will have the opportunity to leave here in the future.

Zhou Shitang didn't forget that Chu Fu's attitude immediately softened when he found out where her home was. People here probably didn't want to get close to her home.

She said vaguely: "My family lives near here. I have fetched water. It's time for me to go. Goodbye, aunt."

Zhou Shitang picked up the barrel and left.

Aunt Fang hasn't finished speaking yet.

She looked at Zhou Shitang's back and couldn't help but mutter, "I'm not trying to steal your family's money. I just want to do some business. Why are you running so fast? I won't eat you. Seriously."

Aunt Fang quickly put the bucket into the well to draw water.

Zhou Shitang was carrying the wooden bucket, and when he saw an acquaintance, he smiled and said, "Brother."

Zhou Mingyi was also holding a wooden bucket in his hand. He saw Zhou Shitang from a distance. He ran over and bent down to take the bucket in Zhou Shitang's hand. "Third sister, why did you come out to fetch water alone? You two Where’s my brother?”

"Water heavy, let me help you carry it, and I'll take you back by the way." Zhou Mingyi has a handsome face and an honest and upright temperament.

Zhou Shitang quickly moved a step to the side, avoiding Zhou Mingyi's hand, "They had something to do, so I came out on my own. You know that I have been very strong since I was a child. This bucket of water is not heavy for me."

"Brother, you're here to fetch water, right. You go quickly, otherwise you'll be late when you go back, and auntie will talk about you again. I can go back by myself, it's not far, I'll be home in a short walk, you don't have to worry about me. "

Zhou Mingyi nodded when he saw his sister carrying the water easily.However, he remembered something he heard today and lowered his voice: "Have you heard about the situation in the house you live in now?"

When Zhou Shitang heard this, he knew that his elder brother had also heard about it, and nodded, "I heard about it."

Zhou Mingyi hesitated to speak.

Zhou Shitang smiled carelessly, "Brother, are you afraid?"

Zhou Mingyi immediately shook his head. He was worried that his sister would misunderstand, so he quickly said: "I'm not afraid. With my second uncle here, no matter how big the difficulty is, it is no longer a difficulty."

"Don't be afraid. In the worst case, we will find a way to change houses in the future." Zhou Mingyi comforted.

Zhou Shitang smiled and nodded, "Okay, brother, go get some water."

"By the way, there is an aunt who is quite enthusiastic. When she sees that you are fair and tender, she may sell her eggs to you. You have to learn to refuse." Zhou Shitang thought of the aunt he met not long ago and warned her carefully.

"My family is in trouble now, so we have to save money on everything. Don't be afraid of being embarrassed if you reject someone."

"The most important thing is that you are comfortable."

The eldest brother has always been kind and never rejects others. She was afraid that her eldest brother Le Diantian would agree to buy eggs. How could they have any money now?

It’s not too late to buy it later when you have money.

Zhou Mingyi listened. His father said, listen to whoever is smart. The second uncle's family are all smart, so he has to listen.

Zhou Mingyi nodded solemnly, "Okay, I remember what Third Sister said. You go back quickly, it's getting dark soon."

Zhou Shitang waved his hand, "I'm leaving then. Brother, you have to be careful."

Along the way, her mind kept spinning, thinking about how to live in the future.

Grandma is getting older and has become much weaker after walking from the capital to Lingnan. In addition, the weather here is not good, so grandma can easily get sick.

If you are sick, you need to see a doctor, which costs a lot of money.

Clothes, food, and supplies at home also cost money.

Too expensive.

So, find ways to improve life at home.

Zhou Shitang returned home carrying water and shouted: "Dad, I'm back from fetching water. I poured the water into the water tank."

After Zhou Yancheng finished sharpening his knife, he cut a small piece of pork, and then began to boil water to fry the pork, preparing to give his wife a surprise when she came back.

He hurriedly opened the lid of the large pot and saw that there was almost no water in it. He yelled in shock, "Tangtang, oh, get some water quickly, the water in the pot is almost boiled dry!"

After he finished speaking, he quickly took out all the burning firewood and threw it on the ground. When he saw some scattered flames, he rushed towards it and stamped on it with both feet.

Finally, the fire was all extinguished.

Zhou Yancheng exhaled and collapsed on the ground from exhaustion.

His face was dusty.

Zhou Shitang walked into the kitchen with small steps, carrying a wooden bucket, "Dad, the water is here, the water is here! What are you doing sitting on the ground?"
