Transmigrating to Book 50, others hoard rice, I hoard money

The next morning, just after the Zhou family finished breakfast, Zhou Rong's eldest uncle Zhou Chuanguo, second uncle Zhou Chuantai, and fifth uncle Zhou Chuanxiang came with their sons and daughters-in-law.

Even my fourth uncle Zhou Chuan'an, who lost a leg on the battlefield, came on crutches.

My eldest uncle has four sons, my second uncle and fifth uncle have three each, plus their daughters-in-law and several older grandchildren, a total of more than thirty people.

Everyone held a carrying pole, a hoe and a shovel. Uncle Five also held a butcher knife, and Uncle Four even carried the gun that had accompanied him in his battles.

Zhou Rong was frightened and moved by the scene.

Father Zhou held a long shoulder pole in his hand, with a butcher knife on his waist. He led Mother Zhou, Zhou Rong, Zhou Jiahua, Zhou Jiafu and Xie Cuilian into the team and shouted, "Let's go!"

Zhou Gui wants to choose her in-laws' family, and it would be bad for her reputation if she went out to fight.

Zhou Cai and Zhou Jiaguang were asked by their mother to stay at home on the grounds that they were too young to be involved in blood and that they would be easily injured by mistake if mixed in with the crowd.

At the same time, I also take care of the four children at home and grind the rice.

Zhou Jiaguang looked at everyone's heroic and confident backs and felt itchy in his heart, because he had never been in a group fight!

When he tried to follow him secretly, Zhou Gui grabbed him by the collar and said, "What do you want to do? Stay at home and don't run around."

Zhou Jiaguang said with a smile: "I didn't run around. My eldest sister is my biological sister. She was bullied by the Yang family. As her biological brother, I must go and support her!"

Zhou Gui smiled faintly and said, "We have several hundred people going to Zhoujiawan today, so we won't need you.

Come here, I will teach you some life skills. When you go to the provincial capital, behave well, or you will be sent back by the elder sister in less than three days.

In one or two days, I can only try a few delicacies in the provincial capital. I haven’t satisfied my cravings yet. It will be a big loss if I come back.”

Zhou Jiaguang thought it made sense, so he followed Zhou Gui to fold quilts, wash clothes, pick vegetables, and grind the mill...

Zhou's father and his team met up with the team led by the village chief and clan leader at the village entrance. The two sides had a total of more than 300 people, all holding weapons, and marched towards Yanglinpo in a mighty manner.

Today is the Lantern Festival, and Hong'an Township emphasizes "the New Year is small and the Moon is big".

On this day, some families will prepare a sumptuous family banquet and have a reunion dinner for the whole family; some families will make moon cakes.

The outer skin of Yueban Baba is usually made from rice flour ground from early rice. It requires eight steps: rice selection, rice washing, drying, crushing, steaming, mixing with flour, rubbing and making skin.

Some people find it troublesome or have better financial conditions, so they use flour instead.

"After eating half a month's bread, everyone plants crops."

While muttering these words, Mrs. Fang was thinking about where to get some flour to make some cakes for the occasion.

The villagers have been saying bad things about their family recently, and they are always reluctant to borrow things from them. Mrs. Fang thinks grinding rice is too troublesome, and she also feels that she will definitely not be able to borrow flour.

Since we can't rely on outsiders, we can only find a solution from our family.

The only place where flour can be taken out at the moment is Zhou Rong’s room.

The son said that he would take that vicious woman Zhou Rong to the provincial capital to find a job, and then they would get divorced.

Zhou Rong hasn't shown up for three days. He must have got the divorce certificate and returned to the Zhou family.

She is no longer a member of the Yang family, so naturally the things in the house have nothing to do with her.

When she thought that her family had finally gotten rid of Zhou Rong, Mrs. Fang couldn't help but feel happy.

Mrs. Fang asked Jin Mei to pry open the door of Zhou Rong's room. She wanted to go in and take back her things.

The hoe and shovel in the house were traded by Zhou Rong to the peddler, so Jin Mei had no choice but to pick up a stone and smash it against the door lock.

When the door opened, Mrs. Fang rushed into Zhou Rong's room and started searching everywhere.

There was not a penny, nor any flour, eggs, or bacon; not even any decent cloth, clothes, or quilts.

Granny Fang asked Jin Mei suspiciously, "Did Zhou Rong take Erniu and the others back to Zhoujiawan that afternoon? Did he bring a lot of luggage?"

Jin Mei thought for a moment and said, "It seems not much. From what I heard from her conversation with Erniu, she only brought a few changes of clothes for the three children."

Mother Fang: "Impossible! This room is empty, with only a few tattered quilts and tables, chairs and benches, nothing else. She must have secretly taken them back to Zhou's house.

"You little bitch, you dare to take my Yang family's things to Zhou's family. After half a month, I will go to settle the score with her!"

"It won't take more than half a month. We can settle the account today."

A familiar voice sounded, and both Mrs. Fang and Jin Mei were startled.

When I turned around, I saw Zhou Rong standing behind me with a sullen face.

Not only did Zhou Rong, the uninvited guest, show up, but Yuying and several other people who looked like they were from Zhou Jiawan were also blocking the door.

Granny Fang asked tremblingly, "Why...why are you back? You brought a group of people home with you. What do you want to do?"

Zhou Rong did not answer Mrs. Fang's words, but dragged her and Jin Mei into the main room.

Zhou Chuanyi, the village chief of Zhoujiawan, and Zhou Chuanjing, the clan leader, sat on two chairs in the middle of the hall with serious expressions, just like the officials in ancient times who judged cases in court. In front of them was the big table of the Yang family.

There were five or six strong men standing on each side, holding either hoes and shovels or butcher knives.

The other people from Zhoujiawan were all standing at the gate of Yang's house and around it, waiting seriously.

Yang Kaiyun, Yang Jinsen, Yang Yaodi, Dani, Erni and Daniu were dragged out and forced to squat on the ground. They were all trembling all over, holding their heads and not daring to speak.

Mrs. Fang glanced at her husband and son, then looked towards the door. She was so frightened by the huge crowd of people that her legs went weak and she fell to her knees.

Jin Mei was so frightened that her legs were shaking. She walked tactfully to her man and squatted down.

When Yang Kaigui, the patriarch of the Yang family, learned that Zhoujiawan was coming to cause trouble, he quickly gathered more than thirty male members of the Yang family and wanted to go to Yang Kaiyun's house to help hold the situation.

But when they got near Yang's house, half of them were scared away by the formation in Zhoujiawan.

The other half were also hesitant and advised Yang Kaigui to try to make peace and not to fight hard, as they still had wives and children to support!

Yang Kaigui looked at the Zhoujiawan strong men and felt a little flustered, but now was not the time to retreat, otherwise how would he face people in the future?

I just regret that the Yang family in Yanglinpo is not prosperous, and there are not many capable descendants. When fighting, there is no strong man to support...

After receiving the information, Lin Dahe asked the villager who delivered the message to continue to keep an eye on Yang Kaiyun's house and tell him any situation at any time, and then he sat leisurely in his own living room drinking tea.

His wife asked in confusion: "The Yang family is surrounded, don't you want to go and take a look?"

Lin Dahe took a sip of tea and said, "My old bones can't stand the tossing and turning. Even if we gather all the men, women and children in Yanglinpo, they are still no match for Zhoujiawan. Why bother to hit a stone with an egg?

After all, this matter is a private matter of Yang Kaiyun's family. They owe Zhou Rong something, and her family is asking for an explanation. It is inappropriate for us to interfere.

I guess the Yang family doesn't want us to intervene, so let them handle it themselves."

Lin Dahe's wife always listened to her husband, so she didn't say anything more.

She was very curious about the fate of the Yang family. After taking off her apron, she hid in the distance with other villagers to watch the excitement...
