When Xie Zhuo came out of Dabao and Xiaobao's room, Xu Yan looked at the time and saw that a full hour had passed.

I don’t know what he said, but Dabao and Xiaobao looked pretty good. They didn’t cry or make a fuss, nor did they laugh very happily or excitedly. They looked very calm.

It was as calm as before we started talking.

Xie Zhuo wouldn’t have nothing to talk about, right?

Although he was guessing in his mind, Xu Yan didn't ask any more questions.

Sometimes, family members also need their own space and secrets.

After Xie Zhuo left home, he went straight to Liu Mancang's house. Liu Mancang had just finished his meal and was about to wipe his mouth and run out when he ran into Xie Zhuo head-on.

"Third brother?" Liu Mancang stopped and asked, "Why are you here?"

"Just take a walk," Xie Zhuo said, and then greeted Yang Shulan, who was about to follow Liu Mancang out, "Aunt."

Yang Shulan's face didn't look very good at first, but when she saw Xie Zhuo coming, she smiled and said, "Have you eaten yet? Would you like to have some more at my aunt's house?"

"We've eaten," Xie Zhuo said, "I'm going to go out with Mancang for a walk. You and uncle can continue with your work."

Yang Shulan glanced at him, then glanced at Liu Mancang, turned around and walked back, "Okay, you guys chat."

Liu Mancang hadn't realized that his mother had followed him out. He looked at Yang Shulan's back in confusion, then turned to look at Xie Zhuo, "Third brother, I was just about to look for you."

"Oh?" Xie Zhuo pulled the scarf around his neck upwards, covering his entire nose, leaving only a pair of eyes exposed as he looked at him, "What do you want from me?"

"I found a way to make money these past two days," Liu Mancang rubbed his hands, "even though it's just a small amount of money, but it adds up to a lot."

Xie Zhuo raised his eyebrows.

As Xie Zhuo followed Liu Mancang to the next brigade, the more he listened, the more he felt that there was something going on.

"It's been three days," Liu Mancang said proudly, "I won 1.3 yuan. Well, let alone the factory workers in the city, who can earn so much money in a day?"

Xie calculated how much it would cost to repair ten watches a day, and then he calculated how much it would cost to repair five radios a day...

He also calculated for Xu Yan the average daily profit she could make after investing the 65,000 yuan...

"Who brought you here?" Seeing that Liu Mancang was getting more and more excited, Xie Zhuo interrupted his series of fantasies.

"No one," Liu Mancang said. "I had nothing to do the past two days, so I came over here to take a walk. Then I met several of them playing cards. They said they had won several dollars in two days. So I followed them to see what was going on, and then I found that they were indeed lucky and could win several times a day."

Xie Zhuo didn't say anything, but he was thinking about this matter in his heart.

But when Liu Mancang took him to the yard of a widow's house, he stopped.

"What's wrong, Third Brother?" Liu Mancang stopped and looked at Xie Zhuo with some confusion.

"What's wrong?" Xie Zhuo glanced at him, "Is there really something wrong with your brain? How dare you barge into someone's house so carelessly?"

As Xie Zhuo spoke, he glanced at the road a few times, and then saw several people craning their necks to look in their direction.

"Don't go into her house," Liu Mancang said anxiously, afraid that Xie Zhuo would misunderstand him. "In her backyard, she built a wall next to the backyard door. If you walk forward after entering the yard, you will go directly to the backyard."

Xie Zhuo still frowned, "You said you don't want to go in? In the eyes of others, you have been running to her house all the time."

"I," Liu Mancang stiffened his neck, "the innocent will be innocent."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Zhuo raised his hand and slapped him on the back of his neck.

"Go home and take medicine quickly. Those who pay back will be cleared."

Originally, Xie Zhuo wanted to see who dared to bring people here to play cards so blatantly, but to go in and see, he had to go into the backyard of the widow's house first, so he didn't plan to go in.

Not to mention now, in another ten or twenty years, if you go to a widow's house every day, there will still be a lot of people gossiping about you.

Oh, you said a wall was added inside, so a wall was added inside?

Who knows what's inside?

Even if a wall was really built in the yard to separate the front yard and the backyard, which good family would go into someone else's backyard?

Isn't this just looking for trouble?

Just as Xie Zhuo was about to take Liu Mancang away, a voice came from behind calling Liu Mancang.

"Hey, Mancang, you brought people here today?"

The person who was speaking was a middle-aged man who looked quite old, perhaps in his forties or fifties. There was nothing special about his face, except that there was a mole at the corner of his mouth. He didn't look like a good person.

While Xie Zhuo was looking at the person, the person was also looking at Xie Zhuo.

He was tall and handsome, standing in front of the door, seemingly a little taller than the gate. Although his clothes had many patches, they were very clean, and he didn't look like a farmer. The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes slightly.

The two looked at each other, but the male educated youth next to them reached out and patted Liu Mancang on the shoulder, "Why didn't you go in?"

Liu Mancang certainly didn't say that Xie Zhuo wouldn't let him in. He just laughed dryly and said, "I tripped when I went out this afternoon. I guess my luck wasn't very good. I won't play anymore."

"Oh, how could that be," the male educated youth smiled, "Your luck is so good this morning, maybe it will be better in the afternoon, let's go."

As he spoke, he put his arm around Liu Mancang's shoulder and continued to lead him into the yard.

But before he could take two steps, Liu Mancang was grabbed by the arm by Xie Zhuo and pulled back.

"What are you doing?" The male educated youth glared at Xie Zhuo and tried to pull Liu Mancang, but Liu Mancang dodged him.

"What are you doing?" Xie Zhuo looked at him expressionlessly, "He already said he didn't want to play anymore, why did you drag him in?"

The male educated youth stared, "There is no rule of running away after winning at the poker table!"

"Oh?" Xie Zhuo narrowed his eyes, "Hasn't he sat down at the table yet?"

"In the morning he..."

"do not talk."

Before the young man could finish his words, the middle-aged man next to him frowned and patted him on the shoulder. "Mancang just felt that his luck was bad this afternoon and didn't want to play. Why are you so excited?"

The male educated youth stopped talking.

Liu Mancang originally thought that he had won money in the past two days and was really lucky. He wanted to make more money in these two days, but as a result, this happened today.

It wasn't that he was really stupid and couldn't see things clearly. There was obviously some other meaning mixed in with the words of the educated youth just now.

"What are you thinking about?" Xie Zhuo walked beside Liu Mancang, his voice coming out from through the scarf, a little muffled.

"Third brother," Liu Mancang turned to look at Xie Zhuo, "Tell me, am I destined to be a farmer in this life?"

Xie Zhuo was slightly stunned when he heard his words.

"I just want to make some money," Liu Mancang said. "Why is it so difficult? I finally found a way, but it turned out to be a trap."
