When the women waiting for the weighing heard that two kilograms of wild mushrooms could be exchanged for one kilogram of rice, and one kilogram of black truffles could actually be exchanged for two kilograms of rice, they became excited. They did not expect that the food they usually fed to chickens could be exchanged for more than wild mushrooms. Looking at the basket full of black truffles in Mrs. Sun's house, they felt like they had missed out on 100 million.

Some of the black truffles on the nearby mountains have been dug up to feed the chickens. The season is over and they will not grow again, so we can only wait until next year.

Wild mushrooms are the most abundant now, popping up one after another, so everyone can only focus on picking wild mushrooms.

One pound of black truffles could actually be exchanged for two pounds of rice. In addition to being surprised, Mrs. Sun's face was also filled with joy. A full basket of black truffles weighed thirty pounds, which was exchanged for sixty pounds of rice. Together with more than ten pounds of wild mushrooms and six pounds of milk fruit that she picked, she exchanged a total of seventy pounds of rice.

Looking at the white rice, Mrs. Sun couldn't stop smiling. She exchanged 420 kilograms of rice in one morning. kilograms of rice converted into black flour would be a full kilograms!

The other women exchanged their rice and returned home. After a quick lunch, they called the men in their families and went out to pick wild mushrooms. Only three-year-old children and elderly people in their seventies and eighties were left at home.

As Zhou Dazhu and Zhao Cunliang entered the village with a man in a short shirt, they saw a desolate scene. The children who used to mend shoe soles and play under the crooked tree at the entrance of the village were gone, and the doors of every household were closed.

Zhou Dazhu asked Zhao Cunliang beside him, "Did something happen in the village? Why are no one here?"

Zhao Cunliang thought that he would expose Yang Xiuying soon. Even though the owner of the business was not Fenglailou, as long as he made the villagers lose their trust in her, he could take the opportunity to force out the owner behind the scenes and it would be easy to take over the business.

He said nonchalantly, "Maybe he's sleeping. It's not spring plowing season yet, so why wouldn't everyone be sleeping?"

But something big is going to happen in the village soon, and that's our chance to turn things around."

Zhou Dazhu understood what he meant and said to the man in a short shirt beside him, "We felt sorry for the widow and wanted to help her, but we didn't expect her to use the name of Fenglai Tower to cheat people in the village. We two brothers will definitely not encourage such evil practices.

Our village will definitely not tolerate someone like this who pretends to be pitiful and cheats people. I hope Brother Lai Fu can help us uncover the true face of that evil woman later."

Lai Fu, the waiter at Fenglai Tower, originally didn't want to bother with these two people. He had been dragged to drink tea by these two people many times in recent days, and charged them five cents. This was the reason for him to make such a trip. The two people promised that after they found out the owner of the acquisition and robbed the widow of her livelihood, they would give him many benefits.

Zhou Dazhu and Zhao Cunliang have to spend a penny every day to go into the city these days, and they haven't even seen the owner of Fenglai Tower. They just became familiar with the waiter guarding the door of the store. However, although the weight is small, it can weigh a thousand pounds, so why use a butcher knife to kill a chicken?

It was more than enough to deal with Yang Xiuying, a widow.

Lai Fu thought of the benefits the two men had promised and agreed, "Yes, you two are righteous men. We absolutely cannot let so many people be deceived by that widow. You two are saving people from dire straits."

Zhou Dazhu called his wife, son, and the newly adopted servant Awang. Zhao Cunliang also brought his mother, wife, and four grown-up sons, and the team quickly grew larger.

When passing by Ma Ergun's house, he wanted to call Ma Ergun to come along to make the scene stronger. He knocked on the door for a long time, but no one came. So he simply didn't bring Ma Ergun with him. It was because Ma Ergun was not destined to get rich.

A team of eleven people who were going to attack Yang Xiuying marched up the hillside aggressively. At the same time, Ma Ergun, who had stayed in the city for a few days, sneaked into the village and followed them quietly.

The picked wild mushrooms will be affected in color and appearance if left overnight. After lunch, the villagers will be busy picking wild mushrooms, picking milk apples and digging ferns, all wanting to exchange them for rice while they are still fresh. Xiuying said that the fresher the wild mushrooms, the better.

At this time, the villagers who had returned from picking wild mushrooms gathered in Xiuying's dam. The villagers who were responsible for picking milk apples and digging ferns had walked further away and had not returned yet. A few other families saw the large basket of black truffles dug by Sun Dasao and her three sons in the morning, and thought of walking further away to try their luck. After all, a basket of wild mushrooms looked like a lot, but they were loose and not heavy. A basket was only seven or eight pounds, while a basket of black truffles weighed a full thirty pounds.

The villagers who returned from picking wild mushrooms were discussing the various wild mushrooms they had picked.

"Mrs. Sun picked up so many chicken-fat fir trees?"

"Aunt Li, didn't you also pick up so many bamboo fungi and porcini mushrooms?"

"The tricholoma from Aunt Ma's family is also good."

"Thanks to Xiuying this year, we can now exchange the wild mushrooms from the mountain for rice."

"Yes, we have to hurry and pick more before the spring plowing so that we will have food for next year."

A top female voice breaks the harmony in the yard

"Hey, everyone is here? That's good, let everyone bear witness to this matter."

The villagers saw that it was Xiuying's sister-in-law Tian Guilan, followed by Zhou Dazhu's family, Zhao's mother, Zhao Cunliang and the four boys of the Zhao family.

Mother Zhao looked at Xiuying standing in front of the door with a look of deep sorrow.

"Xiu'er, before we split up the family, you loved to eat alone at home. It's fine if you were selfish at home, but now you want to split up the family, and I won't stop you. You just thought you had a lover, but I didn't expect you to cheat in the village! You really disappoint me!"

Mother Zhao had a look of heartache on her face, but she was secretly happy in her heart. Look at this little whore, she is still jumping around, and she even wants to break off the relationship with the Zhao family. Once Cunliang finds out who is behind the scenes, I will see what will happen to her!

"Sister-in-law, you usually don't respect your mother-in-law at home. Now, for your own benefit, you have done such a shameless thing. As your eldest sister-in-law, as the saying goes, an eldest sister-in-law is like a mother. Seeing you become like this, my heart aches!"

As soon as Tian Guilan and Zhao's mother arrived, they scolded Xiuying.

Aunt Li and Aunt Sun stood in front of Xiuying and faced Zhao's mother and Tian Guilan.

"What on earth are you two going to do?!"

"Speak human language!"

Other villagers also gathered around

"Mrs. Zhao, what are you doing? Why are you cursing right away? Even as a mother-in-law, you can't rely on your status to oppress your daughter-in-law. What's more, Xiuying has to take care of several maids, which is really not easy."

"I think she just can't stand seeing others living well, she's jealous!"

"Xiuying has a good job and she's thinking about the people in our village. I think she's a good person. Anyone who touches her is going to have a hard time with me."
