The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

Tang Yuan took out a worn-out small cloth bag, took out thirty-six coins from it, put them together with the dividends, then knelt in front of Gu Qinghuai and begged, "Sister Xiaohuai, I don't dare to keep so much money. I'm afraid I can't keep it. Can I put the money with you and you keep it for me? I can charge you a storage fee."

She saw it when Widow Liao begged Sister Xiaohuai.

She didn't dare to hold so much money in her hands at once.

Gu Qinghuai nodded: "Okay, one cent a month for storage."

"Okay, thank you...thank you Xiaohuai...sister," Tangyuan breathed a sigh of relief.

She now has six taels and six cents of silver, and the dividends from the brick and tile factory and the charcoal factory will surely increase. The day her parents sell her will be the day she leaves the Tang family.

That night, half of the families in Tuniu Village were trying to find ways to hide their money. Hiding it here wasn't a good idea, and hiding it there wasn't a good idea either. It seemed like no matter where they hid it, it would be stolen.

Qi Yuanshuo was as anxious as the villagers who had become rich.

He was about to return to the military camp, but he felt uneasy because there were two more "wolves" eyeing Xiao Huai, one was simple and foolish, full of aggressiveness; the other was insidious and cunning, and good at using tricks.

Sister Xiaohuai is very smart in other things, but very simple in feelings. He is afraid that the two wolves will confuse her.

Even if they can't confuse her, they're annoying to see them hanging around Sister Xiaohuai all day long.

Before returning to the barracks, he had to have a good talk with the two wolves, define his sphere of influence, and prevent them from invading.

He first went to find Meng Wubing, and the two went into the mountains to hunt together.

As soon as Meng Wubing entered the mountain, he became alert. He tiptoed around and began looking for prey.

Qi Yuanshuo was careless and his mind was not on hunting at all.

Wubing is his good brother, so it is better to talk about some things earlier. Hiding things from others and guessing their intentions will only make it easier for them to become estranged.

Qi Yuanshuo made up his mind.

"Wild boar! Little Stone! There's a wild boar!" Meng Wubing hid behind a stone and shouted excitedly.

Qi Yuanshuo turned around and saw a fat wild boar walking towards the creek. The wild boar lowered its head and sniffed the ground as it walked forward.

Qi Yuanshuo picked up a stone from the ground, used his internal force, and threw it at the wild boar. In the blink of an eye, the stone embedded into the wild boar's head. The wild boar grunted a few times and fell to the ground.

"Oh my God! Xiao Shitou, you are so awesome!" Meng Wubing rushed to the wild boar and praised Qi Yuanshuo repeatedly.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at him and nodded: "Take this wild boar home."

"That's so sorry, let's split it equally," Meng Wubing smiled brightly.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at him, took a deep breath and said, "Wubing, I want to talk to you."

Meng Wubing stood up, his eyes dark and bright: "What are you talking about?"

Qi Yuanshuo looked frankly: "I have long loved Sister Xiao Huai, and I will definitely marry her in the future."

Meng Wubing's face changed and the bow and arrow in his hand almost fell to the ground.

He calmed himself down and forced a smile: "Are you so sure that you will marry Sister Xiao Huai in the future?"

"Yes, I'm sure. I will not marry anyone else in this life," Qi Yuanshuo's eyes were deep and his expression was firm.

Meng Wubing secretly tightened the bow and arrow in his hand, "What if Sister Xiaohuai doesn't like you?"

"Impossible, I can feel that Sister Xiaohuai treats me differently from others. Maybe she hasn't realized it yet. When I grow up a little more, she will definitely fall in love with me. We understand each other and have a tacit understanding. We are a match made in heaven," Qi Yuanshuo raised the corners of his lips slightly, very confident.

"But you are four years younger than Sister Xiaohuai. The age gap between you is too big," Meng Wubing searched his mind for the incompatibility between Xiao Shitou and Sister Xiaohuai.

Qi Yuanshuo chuckled: "She's only four years old. Even if she's ten or twenty years older than me, I'll still like her."

Meng Wubing's eyes were full of disappointment, and he opened his mouth but could not speak.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at him and said, "Wubing, I know you like Sister Xiaohuai too."

Meng Wubing was extremely surprised, "You...how did you know?!"

He had been hiding it very well, and no one knew about it except himself. How could Little Stone know it?

"You can't hide the look of love in your eyes. Not only did I see it, but your parents, my aunt, uncle, brother Qingshan, brother A'ren, and my grandmother all saw it," Qi Yuanshuo said in a soft voice.

Meng Wubing: ...

Qi Yuanshuo patted his shoulder, "I am being honest with you today because we are good brothers. We both fell in love with the same woman at the same time. You have two choices. One, quit early, it is better to suffer a short pain than a long pain; two, continue to love you and compete with me fairly. But you know that you can't compete with me."

Meng Wubing pursed his lips, clenched his fists, and said unwillingly: "How do you know that I can't compete with you? I am as sincere to Sister Xiaohuai as you are! Although I am not as handsome as you, not as smart as you, not as good at martial arts as you, not as strong as you, not as knowledgeable as you, and not as graceful as you, but I am not bad looking. I am tall and strong, and I am only two years younger than Sister Xiaohuai. Maybe Sister Xiaohuai will like my type!"

"You mean, you want to continue to like Sister Xiaohuai and compete fairly with me?" Qi Yuanshuo raised his eyebrows, with a flame of war burning in his eyes.

"Yes!" Meng Wubing nodded heavily. "It's not easy to forget someone you really like. Do you think I'm like a canal? If you block the canal, the water will stop flowing? From now on, we will compete fairly based on our own abilities. If Sister Xiaohuai chooses you in the end, I sincerely wish you all the best!"

"Okay, it's settled then," Qi Yuanshuo smiled with his eyes full of determination.

Meng Wubing groaned, turned his head to look at the fat wild boar, and said angrily: "That's the wild boar you killed yourself. I don't want it. I want to kill it myself!"

After saying that, he walked into the mountains without looking back.

Qi Yuanshuo looked at his unyielding back, walked forward to pick up the wild boar, and carried it back easily.

Anyway, he has already told everything and has a clear conscience towards his good brother. If Wubing really breaks up with him, he will accept it calmly.

Deal with one stupid one, and there's another smart one.

Seeing Qi Yuanshuo bringing back a big wild boar, the family was very happy. Zhu Meijun immediately arranged for people to kill the pig and get the meat, and the yard became lively.

Xiao Yueshi was reading a book in the room. When he saw the sunlight outside the window was blocked by a shadow, he looked up from the book and looked at the shadow.

"Xiao Shitou, is there something wrong?" Xiao Yueshi asked with a smile.

He has a handsome face, a gentle smile and charming peach blossom eyes, which is indeed charming enough.

But, he is still not as handsome as him, nor as masculine, strong, lively and powerful as him.

Qi Yuanshuo retracted his gaze and nodded, "I want to talk to you."

Xiao Yueshi instantly knew what he wanted to talk about.
