Chapter 39 Selling eggs and buying eggs
Zeng Chusheng looked at his brother, whom he had known for many years, and hesitated to speak, but he also knew his temperament, and finally took back his words of persuasion.

Zeng Chusheng put the mushrooms back into his backpack, "Then just watch me eat them. Maybe you will eat them in the future."

Chu Fu smiled and said, "We'll talk about the future later."

He must act cautiously and cautiously without making any mistakes.

Zeng Chusheng returned home, poured out the mushrooms and medicinal materials, and dried them.

Zeng Shuangyan came back with a bucket of water. When she saw the things on the ground, she frowned, "Dad, why did you pick this thing back? Isn't this inedible?"

Zeng Chusheng explained again, "So, there is no need to worry, Girl Zhou will not make fun of her own life."

"She really knows a lot." Zeng Shuangyan's eyes were filled with stars, "I really want to get to know her."

Zeng Chusheng smiled and said: "If you want to get to know each other, you will have the opportunity to get to know him."

"Tomorrow her brothers will come over to learn some crafts from me. Please entertain them well and don't be reckless." Zeng Chusheng knew that his daughter had always been reckless, so after thinking about it, he gave a few words of advice.

Zhou Yatou gave him so much reward, so he must teach his brother well.

Zeng Shuangyan nodded: "Don't worry, I don't understand everything."

After Zhou Shitang returned home, there was no one at home.

She poured out all the mushrooms and medicinal materials in the basket and dried them one by one on the open ground. After placing them, she walked into the kitchen and took a look at the water tank, and found that there was not much water left.

So she took the bucket and went out to fetch water.

Zhou Shitang brought a bucket of water up, picked up the wooden bucket and left.

Aunt Fang came over with a wooden bucket. When she saw Zhou Shitang from a distance, her eyes lit up and she ran over, "Little girl, don't you really consider coming to my house to buy an egg? My eggs are cheap and delicious."

Zhou Shitang was blocked in his way, he stopped helplessly, put the barrel on the ground, opened a pair of innocent eyes, "Auntie, my family is very poor and has no money. I can't afford your eggs for the time being. When my family gets rich, I will Let’s buy eggs from you again.”

"Looking at how fair and tender you are, how come your family doesn't have money? Are you trying to trick me?" Aunt Fang didn't believe it. She lowered her head and saw the wooden barrel at Zhou Shitang's feet. "I remember that your wooden barrel was old yesterday. Today Just replaced it with a new one, and you lied to me about not having any money."

She's not that easy to deceive.

Zhou Shitang became more and more helpless, "I'm not lying to you, how rich do you think the people living here can be? I also want to eat eggs, but my family has no money, how about you give me some eggs? I will definitely be grateful. your."

"That's not possible." Aunt Fang shook her head and refused, "I have raised my old hen for a long time and only laid a few eggs. How can I give it to you?"

No one can take advantage of her.

Zhou Shitang said no more: "Then I'll go home first. I still have a lot of things to do at home."

Aunt Fang was still enthusiastic, "Where do you live? I'll take you back."

The little girl couldn't be the master of the family, so she went to find her parents.

Hey hey hey.

Zhou Shitang was silent for a moment, then raised his hand and said, "My family lives there. It's just a short walk away."

The well is in the middle, and there are roads leading to different houses on all sides.

Aunt Fang glanced at the direction Zhou Shitang was pointing, and her expression suddenly changed, "You, your family lives in that haunted house?"

Zhou Shitang nodded calmly, "I heard that's the case."

Anyway, others will know sooner or later, and there is nothing to hide. Others can think whatever they want.

Aunt Fang suddenly took a few steps back and away from Zhou Shitang, staring at Zhou Shitang's fair and tender face, "I have heard that someone has moved into that house, but I didn't expect it to be your family."

She took a few steps back and stopped in time to explain, "Little girl, I'm not afraid of you, I'm afraid of that house. I've lived here for more than ten years, and I've never seen anything scarier than that weird thing. Zhou Shitang's eyes fell on Aunt Fang's face, wondering, "Are all the people who lived there before dead? Could they have died of illness?"

Aunt Fang shook her head repeatedly, "They are all dead. It is impossible that they died of illness. I think they all look very energetic, and they don't look like they are sick."

"Little girl, if there is anyone in your family who knows the government, it is best to move out quickly and not live in that house."

"The county magistrate said before that this house can no longer be inhabited. It has been two years since we arranged for people to move in. I didn't expect that people will start to move in again now."

Aunt Fang gave Zhou Shitang a pitiful look.

Zhou Shitang lowered his eyes slightly and his mind was spinning rapidly.

Someone in the court wanted her father's life, so it was most likely that someone there gave the order for their family to live in that house.

If their family died like the legend, no one in the court would have to take action themselves.

What a vicious thought.

Zhou Shitang raised his eyes and said, "Auntie, thank you for telling me this."

"This is nothing." Aunt Fang waved her hand and stopped pestering Zhou Shitang to buy eggs. She turned around and left with the bucket, "I'm going to fetch water first."

"Auntie." Zhou Shitang looked at Aunt Fang's back and called her.

Aunt Fang turned around and asked, "Is there anything else?"

Zhou Shitang wore two braids, and her palm-sized face was much darker than before, but her bones could still tell that she was a beauty.

She looked at Aunt Fang with clear eyes.

Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "If my family gets rich in the future, can I go to your house to buy eggs from you?"

Aunt Fang was attracted by her smile and felt that her smile was more dazzling than the sun in the sky.

She was about to nod, but in the next moment she realized what she had said in time, with a troubled expression on her face.

She wanted this little girl to buy her eggs, but her family lived in a haunted house, so she began to hesitate again.

Why is it so difficult?

She tried hard to persuade the little girl not to agree to buy her eggs, but finally the little girl agreed to buy her eggs in the future, but she didn't know whether she should sell them.

Why let her face such a difficult choice.

If only the little girl didn't live in that house, she would nod happily.

Zhou Shitang said slowly: "If you can make money, who would refuse? Madam, are you going to have trouble with money?"

Aunt Fang hesitated for a moment, nodded, and said with a look of death, "If you come to buy it, I will sell it."

The little girl is right, you would be a fool if you don’t earn money.

She is not a fool.

She didn't live in that house, so she didn't need to be so afraid.

She makes money from the little girl, and the little girl eats her eggs.

Once the money and goods are cleared, she has nothing to do with the little girl.

Zhou Shitang smiled and said, "Auntie, you are such a kind person. You are the one who is the most beautiful and kind-hearted."
