A Happy Farmhouse: After becoming the group's favorite, the whole family rises

At this moment, Mu Tou, who was working hard in the backyard, obviously heard his mother's "call".

"Dad, listen, is it my mother calling me?"

Tian Danian nodded, "I heard it too. Maybe they want you to go over and help. Go ahead. There are only a few sections left. Your brother and I can fix it."

Mu Tou nodded and ran quickly towards his own kitchen.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that what was waiting for him was Wang’s roar.

"Tian Mutou! You little brat, tell me - did you steal the rice from the kitchen again?"

Mu Tou looked confused.

"Mom, you really wronged me this time. Although I was a little greedy, I didn't steal the food from the kitchen. Mom, think about it, why did I take the rice? If I cooked at home, you would definitely be able to find traces. Took it outside? That's even more impossible. I don't even have a thing, how can I cook it?"

Wang was stunned. To be honest, she felt that what her son said made sense.

"Oh, mother, is there a mouse in the house? Quick, quick, quick! Shake the grain bags quickly to prevent the mice from eating up the grain."

Food? Yes!

After hearing what her youngest son said, Wang's suspicion towards him eased a little, and she actually picked up the rice bags one by one to see if any of them had been eaten by mice.

But after a round, I found nothing.

Wang's suspicious eyes fell on Mu Tou again, "Huh, the mouse was eaten? I think it's you, the greedy mouse?"

Mu Tou was speechless. Was this a disaster from the sky?

"Mom, it's really not me, it's true!"

But no matter what Mu Tou said, Wang didn't believe it. She had good reasons to doubt. After all, her youngest son was the greediest in the family. Who else could it be but him?

It is already mid-November, and the biting cold wind makes people's faces hurt.

After breakfast, Tian Danian hurried out of the house.

After walking a few steps, his padded jacket was penetrated by the cold air. He looked up at the sky and it seemed that it was time to change into a thicker cotton-padded jacket.

Tian Danian tightened his collar, quickened his pace, and headed towards his third grandfather's house.

The road from Tian Danian's house to Third Grandpa's house almost runs through the entire Tianjia Village. I thought that on such a cold day, no one would brave the cold wind to run around in the village even if they had nothing to do. However, Tian Danian obviously underestimated the enthusiasm of the village women for gossip.

There were still a few women sitting on the rocks under the big willow trees in the village.

From a long distance away, with the help of the oncoming wind, Tian Danian could vaguely hear the voices and laughter of some women.

Seeing Tian Danian walking hurriedly, an elderly woman greeted him warmly.

"Hey, isn't this New Year's Eve? What are you so anxious about?"

Seeing someone talking to him, Tian Danian slowed down his pace and had a smile on his face.

"It's Aunt Wang. It's so cold and I haven't gone home yet. I'm going to Changqing's house."

Seeing that Tian Danian was easy to talk to, Aunt Wang immediately stood up and came to greet him.

"Hey, Da Nian, can I ask you something?"

Tian Danian stopped and looked at the woman suspiciously. Although Tian Danian called the woman "Auntie", in fact, the two families had no actual relationship.

Most of the families in Tianjia Village have the surname Tian, ​​and they are all related in some way. Going back several generations, they are all related. But the Wang family is an outsider and has only been in Tianjia Village for 20 to 30 years.

"Aunt, tell me!"

Tian Danian was still polite. Aunt Wang chuckled twice and lowered her voice and said, "Aunt, I heard that your family made dozens of taels of silver from selling that sheep or something. Is that true?"

A few days ago, there was quite a stir in Tian Danian's family, as they captured so many strange-looking animals alive from the mountains. A few days later, it was heard that Tian Danian took several children to the provincial capital to sell the prey, but no one knew how much the prey was sold for.

Some people said that the strange-looking animal was only worth the price of a sheep, and a few of them would only cost a dozen or twenty taels.

Some people also said that the thing looked strange and might be sold for a high price, but at most it would be worth only one hundred or eighty taels.

But no matter which one it is, it will cause a sensation among the villagers.

After all, not to mention a hundred or eighty taels, even a dozen or twenty taels is still more than the family wealth of ordinary people.

Everyone in the village who heard the news became curious. These women had gathered here just now to discuss this.

Unexpectedly, while they were discussing, the real culprit appeared.

Aunt Wang has always been a talkative person, so she came over to find out more.

"Who said that?"

Tian Danian narrowed his eyes and said, "Auntie, that thing is just a prey after all. Think about how much a wild boar hunted in the mountains is worth? Don't even mention that the prey my family caught is not as much as wild boar meat, don't you think?"

Aunt Wang slapped her thigh and said, "That's exactly the truth. I told these old ladies about this, but they didn't believe me. What kind of precious things are these? How can a few of them be sold for a hundred or eighty taels——"

Aunt Wang's eyes rolled around, and she asked with a chuckle, "Danian, tell me the truth, how much did you sell the ones you took out for?"

"Auntie, no matter how valuable that thing is, it's impossible to sell it for a hundred or eighty taels each—"

"Yes, yes, that's what I told you guys."

Aunt Wang echoed a few words and kept asking questions relentlessly.

Tian Danian saw that he couldn't avoid it, so he could only answer vaguely, "In fact, it didn't sell for much, about the same as the price of sheep, people bought it just for the novelty."

"Oh my..." Aunt Wang was so excited, "Then they can be sold for 10 or 8 taels each. There are more than 20 in your backyard. If you sell them all, it will be several dozen or even a hundred taels. It's New Year. I said you are a lucky boy. Look, my vision is right. Look - your family's financial situation has improved instantly. It's really enviable."

The envious eyes of the women were all focused on Tian Danian.

Tian Danian felt a little nervous. "But we can't sell all of them. I discussed with my wife and decided to keep a few and raise them ourselves. It's a long-term plan. You know we have many children. The eldest will be sixteen next year and it's time for him to marry a wife. Xiaochun and Mutou are a couple and they will have to marry their husbands in two years. There are many places in the family where money is needed. Even if we earn a little now, it won't be enough for anything."

When talking about this, Aunt Wang felt the same way. "Who says it's not true? There are many children in the family, and there are indeed many places to spend money. It's not easy!"

Aunt Wang gave birth to four sons in her lifetime. Now all four sons have grown up and have their own children. She has seven or eight grandchildren, which makes it a big family. So when it comes to the idea of ​​more people and more money, Aunt Wang feels deeply touched.

Tian Danian decided to leave while he was ahead. "Okay, Auntie, if there's nothing else, I'll leave first. I have something to do with Chang Qing."

"Okay, okay, then go ahead. When you are free tomorrow, ask your wife to come visit me."

Tian Danian put his hands into his sleeves, nodded to the other women sitting on the rocks, and then continued to walk quickly towards the north end of the village.

Aunt Wang was in high spirits, like a general who had won a battle. "Did you hear that? You guys are so good at mumbling and talking, and no one is sure about anything. I'm not like me, I just say whatever I want. I heard Danian say that he didn't make a few dozen taels of silver. I'm telling you, if he didn't make a few dozen taels of silver, how could Tian Danian be willing to spend the money to buy a horse and a car?"

Another woman said with envy, "Oh my, Tian Danian has finally made a fortune this time, and Wang Chunhua will have a good life in the future."

Aunt Wang sighed, "I've made a fortune, but this money is just passing through my hands. Didn't you hear what Da Nian said? There are many places where money is needed at home. You don't know the hardship of having so many people and children in a family. Well, that's enough. I have to go home too. Let's all go."

In an instant, the five or six women who had just been together all scattered like birds and beasts.

Tian Danian, who had walked away, breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, his little girl had prepared a draft for him in advance and told him how to answer and how much money he had earned.

Otherwise, it would be really troublesome to be pestered by a bunch of women asking this and that.

The little girl had already told everyone that the fact that her three alpacas were sold for a high price of three thousand taels must not be spread in the village.

My daughter said - this is called "low-key".

He understands, isn't it just about making a fortune in silence?
