You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

Before A Biao came back, Su Chen had already closed his stall.

He strolled around Chunming Street and returned to the hardware store with a lot of bags. While A Kui and Lian Zhenzhen were not paying attention, he returned home through the ghost path.

At that time, Liu Chunhua and Old Man Su had already returned, and the eldest brother and fourth brother were also at home.

Su Chen glanced at the two large bags on the ground and understood that his eldest and fourth brothers had come to give New Year gifts to the two elders.

He put the things on the ground and said, "Brother, you are here just in time. It saves me from having to go and deliver them to you again."

In addition to the tiger whip wine, Dong Rongjin also gave two bottles of good wine and some dried seafood, which looked like high-end items.

Su Chen divided it among them neatly, and then asked Old Man Su: "Dad, is everything okay over at the Cai family?"

"A Xiu wanted to leave, but she wasn't in good health. You said she needed to lie down and rest for ten days to half a month, so no one dared to let her move, fearing more heavy bleeding."

Liu Chunhua curled her lips and said, "I don't think those people in her family have any good intentions. They are just waiting for Ah Xiu to come back and then marry her off to make a fortune."

Su Mao was well aware of the Cai family's affairs in the village. Su De, who had to go down the mountain to work as a carpenter, didn't know much about it. Curious, he asked, "What did the village chief say?"

"What can Aliang say? He's so worried that he could kill a fly with his forehead," Liu Chunhua sighed. "It's really unlucky to have a nephew like this."

After talking about the Cai family for a while, the topic turned to Uncle Tan's son who had just returned to the village today.

Liu Chunhua couldn't help but envy: "It seems that he made a lot of money this year. He bought a lot of things and hired three people to carry them up the mountain."

Su Mao felt a little uncomfortable: "Axiong is a smooth talker, so it's normal for him to be good at business."

"He said he's bought a house in the south and plans to bring Uncle Tan over to live with him after the New Year, but Uncle Tan hasn't agreed yet."

"How can someone like Old Tan go south? He can't even speak Mandarin, right?" Liu Chunhua said proudly. "If you want to go to the city, our Cuicheng is better. Even if you can't speak Mandarin, everyone can understand you if you speak the local dialect, right, old man?"

Old Man Su took a puff of his water pipe and nodded.

"That's the truth."

A Liang did not hide from Su Mao and Su De that they were going to move after the New Year, and neither of them looked surprised.

Seeing this, Old Man Su knocked off the ash from his cigarette and said, "It's a good thing you two are here, let's talk about the land."

Su De waved his hand and said, "Dad, you should give the land to my eldest brother. I go down the mountain to work every day, and the land will become barren if I give it to you."

Su Mao disagreed: "No need to give it to me, it was already divided when we divided the family."

"If you don't plant, others will take it," Liu Chunhua squinted. "What your dad and I said is, you plant it, eldest brother. If there is any harvest later, you can share some with the fourth brother. This way, no one loses out."

She snorted, "You two have always had a good relationship and wouldn't fall out over such a small matter, but you have wives. If they have any grudges, your life will be turned upside down."

Su Mao touched his nose feeling a little guilty.

The reason for the split up of the family was because his wife Chunjiao felt she was at a disadvantage.

Old Man Su puffed on his water pipe again, exhaled the smoke, and said, "Amao, if you are diligent, you can cultivate the private plot behind the yard. You can also cultivate the field at the foot of the mountain. But Ade, you can continue to cultivate the vegetables in the field next to where I grow cabbages. If you really don't have time, you can also plant some taro."

"Don't keep saying you're busy with carpentry. Don't you know Ying's health? Growing vegetables is also tiring work. You should help out a little more."

Sumao Sude nodded repeatedly.

"There's also that paddy field by the dam. Ah Mao, come and harvest the rice. Give 10% to Ah De."

Su De waved his hands: "No, no, no~"

After being glared at by Liu Chunhua, he dared not say a word.

"And this house..." Old Man Su sighed, "Achen said that we'll buy the furniture for the house in the city separately, so we won't be moving anything. You two children are getting older, so if the house isn't big enough, let the older ones move in. You two should discuss this between yourselves. If the house isn't occupied, it'll deteriorate quickly."

As he spoke, Old Man Su glanced at Liu Chunhua, who coughed twice and subconsciously looked at Su Chen.

Su Chen stood up: "I'll go see Ayun."

He entered the house and could hear the sounds outside clearly.

Liu Chunhua took out the money, counted it, and after making sure it was correct, she handed one to Su Mao and one to Su De.

The two of them hurriedly pushed it back.

Old Man Su whispered, "Just keep it if your mother gave it to you. It's not for you."

Liu Chunhua nodded: "This 10 yuan is the New Year's money for the children, and the other yuan is what Aliang and Akun asked for their wives to make up for it."

Su De shrank his neck and said, "Mom, A Kun is only 15."

"15 is your eldest son too. If you want to take it, take it too. That's called treating everyone equally." Liu Chunhua glanced at him and said, "Why are you standing there? Take it!"

Su De shuddered at her harsh shout and immediately reached out to take it.

Old Man Su twisted some tobacco and rubbed it between his fingertips: "Your younger brother was a little confused before, but now he has become more intelligent. If you need any help, remember to tell him. He is too busy. If you don't tell him, he may not be able to take care of you."

The two of them lowered their heads and said nothing.

Seeing that they couldn't get a word out of each other, Liu Chunhua got angry and said, "Alright, alright, just go home. I'll talk to Aliang and the others later. I don't know where you two learned this from... You're so shameless!"

She picked up the packed bags and pushed Su Mao Su De out the door, just in time to see A Xiong next door holding a mobile phone and being surrounded by people like the moon surrounded by stars.

"This is a portable phone. Every big boss in the south has one. Do you know how much such a small thing costs?"

Liu Chunhua snorted and turned back.

Old Man Su glanced at her.

"Are you angry again?"

"Who's angry? I'm not angry. It's just a mobile phone, you keep saying it over and over again." Liu Chunhua served herself some rice with disdain. After the chopsticks were placed on the table, she asked Old Man Su, "Old man, why don't we persuade Ah Chen to buy one too?"

"Why buy that thing? If you have the money, you might as well buy two more houses." Old Man Su put down the hookah and glanced at Liu Chunhua. "Let's live our own lives. Don't always compare yourself with others."

"Who competed?" Liu Chunhua insisted. "Ah Xiong can make money and has a mobile phone, but is he as capable as our Ah Chen? Ah Xiu was bleeding so badly, did he have the ability to pull her back from the brink of death? No way?"

Old Man Su: “…”

This woman is hopeless!

But it wasn't just Liu Chunhua who felt jealous. Many of the neighbors were jealous when they saw Axiong's mobile phone.

Old Tan stood at the door and shook his head helplessly.

Seeing this, his daughter-in-law smiled and said, "Dad, please stop shaking your head. Ah Xiong is like this. He can't help it."

"It wasn't like this last year." Old Uncle Tan sighed.

Then he called out, "Axiong, it's time to eat!"

Ah Xiong took the cell phone home, but the legend of the cell phone was still circulating in Niuwei Village.

More and more people are eager to move and are thinking about going south to work after the New Year.

At night, there was a knock on Ahu Atang's door.
