Farmer's eldest sister becomes rich
Chapter 73: Tricks
However, An Yue was mentally prepared, so how could she let her succeed?
Just as Zhou's claws were about to touch An Yue, An Yue quickly turned sideways and dodged quickly. She knelt on one leg, supported herself with both hands, and made a clean sweep.
At that moment, Zhou's body lost its balance and she fell to the ground on her side with a thump.
My grandfather rushed over to stop me, but stopped halfway through.
To be precise, he was probably stunned by An Yue's smooth movements.
My grandfather's expression changed from anxiety at first, to surprise, and then to trance.
He felt as if everything he saw was a dream. He closed his eyes in disbelief and shook his head quickly, trying to wake up.
Zhou, lying on the ground with her legs curled up, pointed at An Yue and howled like a ghost:
"Oh my god! You are going to kill me! Someone come quickly!! This damn girl is going to kill me, an old woman..."
An Nian saw this scene and clapped his hands in applause.
At this time, grandfather An Chengde ran out from the main room. He saw Zhou sitting on the ground from a distance, and hurried over, kneeling down to help her up.
He asked sternly, "What are you doing?"
Zhou couldn't get up from the spot, slapping her legs with her hands and wailing, "This... this damn girl hit her elders, she will be struck by lightning!"
An Yue thought, this is the usual trick of the villain complaining first, making it seem like no one can pretend.
An Yue curled her lips, rubbed her eyes with her hands, and cried, "Wuwu... Grandma, it was obviously you who walked unsteadily and accidentally fell to the ground, why are you blaming your granddaughter? Wuwu..."
An Nian took small steps and ran to his sister, echoing, "That's right, Niannian saw grandma fall down by herself."
Grandfather An Chengde, who was already skeptical, felt that An Yue's words were more credible after hearing An Nian say this.
He turned to Zhou and said, "You have nothing better to do than to eat! What are you doing wandering around in this yard?"
Zhou pointed at the brother and sister and yelled, "You two little monkeys, you..."
Before Zhou could finish her words, she was dragged out of the yard by An Chengde.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren stood there, smiled at each other, then turned around and went back to their own work.
An Yue skillfully collected all the vegetables from the bamboo poles and put them in a wooden basin. She also moved the salt jar in the house under the eaves.
At this time, my grandfather brought over a large jar that he had just cleaned.
An Yue put the sun-dried vegetables into the jars one by one, filling two jars in total.
After the vegetables are put into the jars, open the salt jar, sprinkle a thick layer of salt into the two jars, and then seal the jars.
She couldn't move it by herself, so she had to ask her grandfather for help to carry the two jars into the house.
An Yue put the salt jar away, scooped a basin of water and brought it to the yard, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren washed their hands.
After everything was packed up, they locked the door to the east room, the brother and sister put on their backpacks, and the three generations of grandparents and grandchildren set out to return to the Jiang family.
It was already 3 p.m.
As soon as we walked out of the yard, my grandfather quickly reminded us, "Nian Nian, Yue Yue, we have to walk faster."
The brother and sister smiled and nodded.
Pingxiang Village is not far from Baili Village if you take a shortcut. There are two mountains in between, but the path has many twists and turns, so it seems far away.
Halfway through the journey, An Nian could hardly walk anymore. He had helped with work in the morning and had not taken a nap at noon, so his little body was really tired.
"Come here soon, grandpa will carry you on his back!"
After saying that, grandpa asked An Yue to put down the backpack, put An Nian in the backpack, and then he picked up the backpack again.
"Niannian, you lie on grandpa's shoulders, so that grandpa will feel more relaxed."
An Nian nodded at his sister with a tired look on his face.
After a while, An Nian fell asleep on his grandfather's shoulder.
The grandfather carried An Nian on his back, and the three of them hurried along. Fortunately, they arrived at the entrance of the village before it got dark.
The three generations of grandparents and grandchildren walked into the yard. There were already four people sitting in the yard. Jiang Chenghai had already placed the weighing tools early and was waiting for them to come back to weigh.
Jiang Chenghai looked at An Nian who was sleeping in the backpack. He quickly got up to help support An Nian, picked An Nian up from the backpack, and walked straight to the house.
My grandmother cooked and boiled medicine in the kitchen.
After Jiang Wuwen put down the backpack, he quickly went into the house to drink a few sips of tea, then hurried to the yard to prepare for the weighing.
He said to everyone apologetically: "Sorry to have kept you waiting for a long time."
Several people said, "It's okay, we just got here too."
After putting An Nian to sleep, my uncle hurried to the yard.
An Yue said: "Please weigh yourself in the order of first come, first served."
At this time, the first person to deliver fish to the yard was a man. He quickly stood up and poured the fish in his wooden barrel into the basket.
Jiang Chenghai and the men were lifting heavy objects, while his grandfather read the numbers and An Yue kept track of the numbers.
Grandfather counted: "Seventy-four pounds."
After An Yue wrote down the number, she then counted the amount of silver and money, and counted out 142 coins and gave them to the man.
An Yue handed the silver coins to the man and said, "Seventy-four catties, minus the three catties in the basket, that's seventy-one catties, that's one hundred and forty-two coins, see if the amount is right?"
The man quickly counted the money and said with a smile, "That's right!"
An Yue lowered her head to record the accounts and said, "The second person will weigh in."
The man behind her was packing up the buckets while shouting, "Grandma, it's your turn to weigh yourself!"
"Is it my turn to be weighed?" It was the voice of an old woman.
An Yue turned around and saw an old woman with unsteady legs and feet, probably in her seventies, with a head full of silver hair, a hunched back and leaning on a cane.
An Yue walked over and saw that there were only four fish in the old woman's bucket, weighing about ten pounds.
An Yue asked: "Old lady, did you deliver this fish by yourself?" The old lady did not respond.
At this time, my grandfather said, "Yueyue, she is hard of hearing. If you speak too softly, she can't hear you. You need to speak louder."
An Yue put her face close to the old woman's ear and said, "Old woman, did you deliver this fish by yourself?"
The old woman smiled and said, "Yes, little girl."
The old woman looked gray-haired and wrinkled, but she was in good spirits.
At this time, two middle-aged women in the back row whispered: "This old woman is also a pitiful person!"
"Although she had two sons, her eldest son joined the army before he got married and had children, and he died in battle."
"My second son was addicted to alcohol and died a few years ago."
"As soon as the second son died, the second daughter-in-law remarried, and later she and her eight-year-old grandson were left at home."
