As soon as Liu Jia stepped into the north room, he began to ask questions eagerly.

There aren't many people who can make Liu Yutian a street hustler, and nine times out of ten, it's Zhou Erlai.

But that girl... could it be Zhou Caixia?

Liu Jia was filled with doubts, one after another.

Liu Yutian gave the answer directly, "Caixia, Caixia beat up Zhou Erlai!"

Liu Jia's head buzzed, and he felt like his eyes were going blurry.

Zhou Caixia called... coming on Tuesday?

How can it be!

Tuesday is a typical scoundrel. If he walks down the main street of Xili Village, half of the villagers will avoid him.

This guy is not only unreasonable, but he also has a sharp tongue and might spout some ancient sayings at any time.

Older people wouldn't stoop to his level, and younger people are even less inclined to cause trouble.

Now that Liu Jia heard that Zhou Caixia had beaten him on Tuesday, he could hardly believe his ears.

"What?"

"You don't believe me? This time, Caixia beat Zhou Erlai pretty badly. His calf swelled up on the spot. Although he didn't break any bones, I think he'll have to limp for a while."

Liu Jia stood at the door, still somewhat incredulous.

After finally waiting for the father and son to stop talking, Zhang Guilan quickly came over.

"San'er, are you hungry? I've left some rice for you in the pot."

Liu Jia finally came to her senses. "Mother, I'm not hungry. I ate on the way back."

"Then you guys keep talking, I'll take out the cornbread, otherwise it'll go sour if I leave it overnight."

Hearing that her son had eaten, Zhang Guilan was no longer worried.

As Zhang Guilan lifted the bamboo curtain to go outside, she heard Liu Jianye recount the events of that time.

Zhang Guilan sighed quietly, thinking to herself that with Zhou Erlai causing trouble, the Zhou family would probably be busy for a while.

But if things really come to a head, he deserved to be beaten on Tuesday; none of the things he did were respectable.

But while it's true that he's unreasonable, everyone knows he won't listen to reason on Tuesdays, and that's where the difficulty lies.

at the same time.

Liu Jia had already understood the whole story.

I thought that talking to Zhou Er about the compensation would make this guy quiet down, but who knew that after I left, Zhou Er would actually come and cause trouble for Zhou Caixia.

Normally, everyone has to go to work in the production team, and they squeeze out the little time they have left to weave baskets.

This time, in order to explore new patterns, Zhou Caixia asked Wang Liqiu to put the cut bamboo at the Zhou family's house, and several basket-weaving women gathered together.

Unfortunately, on Tuesday he kept running around causing trouble and even kicked and broke the baskets that Zhou Caixia and others had woven.

These kicks directly angered Zhou Caixia.

According to Liu Jianye, Zhou Caixia stood up, picked up a bamboo stick, and hit Zhou Erlai on the leg!

Tuesday, no one expected Zhou Caixia to be so fierce. Before he could even catch his breath, Zhou Caixia chased him into the street.

After hitting Zhou Caixia with the stick several times on Tuesday, she finally threw the bamboo to the ground.

Back then, Tuesdays were already limping.

Next, the whole village knew that Zhou Caixia had beaten up the hooligan Zhou Erlai.

Liu Jia felt relieved, but his brows furrowed.

"Second brother, I have to get involved in this matter."

"Don't be stubborn at this time. You can't go to Zhou Er on your own. You have to discuss it with everyone first."

Liu Jia nodded solemnly.

“Caixia hit Zhou Erlai because of the basket incident, so I can’t just ignore it. It’s getting late now, so Uncle Zhou and the others are probably asleep. I’ll go find Uncle Zhou first thing tomorrow morning.”

"What do you want?" Liu Jianye was still worried.

"Let's talk about it later and see what Uncle Zhou thinks."

Seeing that Liu Jia was not flustered and spoke in a logical and reasonable manner, Liu Jianye and Liu Yutian finally felt a little relieved.

At this moment, Zhang Guilan suddenly rushed into bed.

"What's going on? Why is there a bag of rice by the door? Who gave it to me?"

Zhang Guilan's eyes widened, and she deliberately lowered her voice when she spoke.

At this time of year, if a family had a bag of rice, it was no joke; it was a treasure!

Liu Jia finally came to his senses and quickly said, "I bought it from the supply and marketing cooperative. Brother Li said this batch of rice was pretty good, so I got some."

"My ancestors, do you even care about making a living? Look at all that you've bought!"

Zhang Guilan was so anxious that she kept swallowing, then turned around and brought in a bag of rice.

This rice must weigh at least twenty pounds!

This morning, when Zhang Guilan went to work at the production team, she heard people say that the price of rice had gone up. It used to cost 13.5 cents a pound, but now it has risen to 14 cents.

At that time, I even said that my family didn't eat rice often, and whether the price went up or down wasn't up to them to decide; at worst, we just wouldn't buy it.

Well, that's great! The order was just given out in the morning, and Liu Jia brought back so much rice by evening!

At 14 cents a pound, these 20 pounds of rice would cost 2.8 yuan!

After calculating the costs, Zhang Guilan's calves started to cramp!

Knowing that Zhang Guilan was worried about the money, Liu Jia quickly explained the matter of the bamboo basket.

Zhang Guilan's expression softened when she heard that the Qingcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative also wanted to do business with them.

However, Zhang Guilan still frowned and gave instructions.

"Sanzi, you have to be careful with your money. You can't do it like this. You have to be frugal."

"I understand, Mom. There are so many people in the family. You have to make sure we're well-fed so we can have the energy to earn money, don't you think?"

Liu Jia smiled at Zhang Guilan, and Zhang Guilan glared at him in annoyance.

"Fine, fine, I can't argue with you, and I won't get angry with you. I think only Xiao Yan'er can handle you in this family!"

As soon as she said it, Zhang Guilan froze.

Guo Xiaoyan and Liu Jia are divorced and both have moved to the city, so why can't she change?

Sometimes, Guo Xiaoyan would inevitably come up in the conversation.

With another sigh, Zhang Guilan looked at Liu Jia and said, "I've prepared the peanut skins. When you go to the city, take them with you to Yan'er. Don't forget."

Liu Jia was speechless and could only agree in the end.

Liu Jia could tell that he had already let go of Guo Xiaoyan, but his mother couldn't.

But Liu Jia didn't want to upset his mother, so he had no choice but to go along with her wishes.

Filial piety means obedience.

Liu Jia had never understood this principle before, believing that as long as something was right, it was filial piety.

But as time went on, Liu Jia figured out some tricks of the trade.

Going along with my parents' wishes makes them happy, and that's better than anything else.

Besides, what Mother asked me to do now isn't unreasonable, so let her do it!

After briefly discussing the Qingcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative, Liu Jia and Liu Jianye left together.

As soon as they stepped outside, Liu Jia grabbed Liu Jianye's arm.

"Second brother, I need to discuss something with you."

Liu Jianye slowed his pace. "What's up?"

"I'm a bit overwhelmed with this bamboo basket, could you help me?"

Liu Jianye exclaimed in surprise, then suppressed a laugh and said, "So serious, just to say this? We're brothers, no need to be so polite?"

Liu Jia smiled sheepishly.

"It's not that I don't know if you'd be willing to do this, so I have to ask you tentatively."

Liu Jia was telling the truth; Liu Jianye was obsessed with animal husbandry and devoted all his energy to it.

Liu Jianye has witnessed everything from weaving baskets to contracting bamboo forests, but he has never said he wanted to participate.

Although he would sometimes offer suggestions, Liu Jia always felt that the man wasn't very interested in this matter.

Right now, I really don't have any free time, which is why I asked this question.

Liu Jianye immediately said, "Why should I be willing to do something? Just tell me what you want me to do, and I'll do it as long as I can!"

"Second brother, that's exactly what I've been waiting to hear!"

Liu Jia immediately perked up and pulled Liu Jianye into his room.

Next, Liu Jia told Liu Jianye everything about the current situation and his future plans.

Liu Jianye listened with his eyes wide open, unable to recover for a long time.

"So, Second Brother, what do you think of the current situation? Should we go all out and fight?"

"Let's do it! Of course we have to! Sanzi, I really didn't know you were so capable, you're really something!"

As he gave the thumbs-up, Liu Jianye's heart pounded with excitement!

Liu Jia has taken over the Hongxing Supply and Marketing Cooperative and is now expanding towards the Qingcheng Supply and Marketing Cooperative; this is what we can see right now.

Future plans include building roads and opening a machinery repair shop!

If Liu Jianye hadn't heard Liu Jia say this with his own ears, he would have wanted to slap himself in the face to make sure he wasn't dreaming!

"Second brother, my wish is very simple: first, let's work together with our family, and then let's make the village rich together!"

Upon hearing Liu Jia's words, Liu Jianye felt his blood boil!

"Sanzi, I'll listen to you. Whatever you say, we'll do! I won't say a word!"
