Chapter 11 Calculation (2)

Caiwei looked at Mrs. Du, blinked quietly, and said crisply: "Mom, didn't you just say you were going to take the pig to a restaurant in town and sell it? If a piece is cut off, how will you sell it?"

Du Shi reacted and immediately said: "But, look at my memory, I actually forgot it. "

Aunt Zhou also squeezed over and said in a loud voice: "From the scholar's family, I heard that Wei'er fainted from hunger yesterday. It's so pitiful that there are so many relatives and not even one person is willing to help! If you hadn't gone to the market I sold the hair last time, and I'm afraid Wei'er will be gone by now. I finally got this wild boar today, so I have to sell it for a good price. Don't let the children suffer like this again."

As soon as Aunt Zhou finished speaking, the eyes of the villagers who had just teased Mu Zhongli changed, from the original laughter and ridicule to the expression of contempt.

As the uncle of a child, he refused to help his niece when she fainted from hunger, and even asked his sister-in-law to go to the market to sell her hair in public. Now that someone got a wild boar, he rushed to the front to beg for it. This shameless behavior is really disdainful.

Mu Zhongli was as shrewd as a monkey. How could he not hear what Aunt Zhou was trying to say? Especially the way everyone looked at him, with such clear disdain, sent shivers down his spine.

Although he is greedy for money, he still wants to have face. His two sons have also reached the age of marriage negotiation. If someone is accused of treating his sister-in-law and niece harshly, it will be difficult for his two sons to get married.

However, it was impossible for him to give up such a big wild boar.

Mu Zhongli's eyes chattered a few times, and he had an idea in his mind. He said with a smile: "My brother and sister have a great idea. After selling the pigs, the family will be more generous. I will go back to set up the car." I'll go to town for you."

Mrs. Du was well aware of her uncle's evil intentions, so she quickly said: "I don't dare to work for you, uncle. I have already made an agreement with Jiujin. He will drive us there in a bullock cart. It just so happens that Wei'er and I need to buy some things."

Mu Zhongli's smile froze and he refused to let him go. Would the money from selling the pigs still fall into his pocket? Feeling anxious, he lowered his face and said seriously: "What my brother and sister said makes no sense. As the saying goes, men and women do not sit at the same table at the age of seven. Weier is now thirteen years old. How can she be in the same car with her foreigner and let others see her?" Yes, they will say that our Mu family has no tutor. Furthermore, the ox cart of Jiujin family has no shed and moves very slowly. Can you walk to the town in the year of the monkey? I'm afraid that you two will freeze to death before you get there. It's nothing compared to the carriage at home. It's fast and has a shed. It only takes an hour to get to town."

Mu Zhongli used both soft and hard tactics, and took the trouble to list the various benefits of riding a carriage. It was as if it was impossible for people to reach the town without riding a carriage.

It could be seen that he was determined to follow them. Even if they refused, he would find other excuses and couldn't get rid of them. So Caiwei said with a smile: "In this case, there is Uncle Lao."

Caiwei relaxed, and Mu Zhongli felt relieved. His niece agreed, so Du didn't dare to refute him anymore. Anyway, he had to decide the price of selling the pig.

"That's right. We are a family. We have a carriage at home. Why use someone else's ox-cart? Others thought that the uncle didn't take care of his niece. Wait, little girl. The uncle will go back to drive the cart and take you to the market. "Mu Zhongli was as happy as a flower and went back to set up the car.

Seeing Mu Zhongli's disappearing back, Aunt Zhou slapped her thigh and couldn't help complaining: "Oh, Wei'er, it's not that I'm complaining about you, but you've been fooled by your uncle's shameless man. You said to him You are so kind-hearted, and Baba's driver is sending you to the market. I think he is a weasel giving New Year greetings to the chicken - he is not kind-hearted, and he is calculating the money you get from selling the pigs. You two, please be careful, don't get into trouble. Fetching water from a bamboo basket is in vain, and joy is in vain!"

Du Shi also said with a hint of reproach: "Weier, why did you make the decision on such a big matter without discussing it with mother? After so many years, don't you still know what kind of person your uncle is?"

Caiwei smiled and said, "Mom, aunt, even if we don't agree, can uncle not go?"

Mrs. Du was silent. The uncle's temper was known to everyone in the village. When wild geese passed in front of his house, he had to pluck out a hair, and he even talked about this fat wild boar!

"So, we can only let him go!"

Caiwei's smile became meaningful!

"But don't worry, since I dare to let him go, I will have my own way to deal with him. This time, I must teach him a lesson, otherwise he will dare to take advantage of us in the future."
