Chapter 628 The Powerful Old Lady
The girl brought a stool.
Zhou Guo helped her sit on the stool, straightened her messy hair, and said with a smile: "Old lady, you are really amazing. When you were young, you must have been invincible in the village. If you join the army, you will definitely be invincible on the battlefield, and the enemy will be terrified when they see you. You can also become a general."
The old lady was breathing smoothly now, and she was no longer panting. She was a little proud when she heard it, "That's right. When I was a kid, I had a fight with someone and pinned two boys to the ground and beat them up. They didn't have the strength to fight back, and they always cried when I beat them. After they cried, they brought their family members to our house to complain, and that's when my mother beat them."
At this time, other onlookers in the village bravely entered the yard and looked at the cut made by the old lady. It was so deep that they couldn't help but feel scared. If this cut had really hit Tiechui's face, would his head have been divided?
A woman walked towards the old lady and said, "Aunt Wu, are you okay? Did that bastard really hit you?"
The old lady glanced at her lightly, "Do I look like I'm in trouble?"
The woman smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I see that you are in good spirits. I've been married for so many years, but I never knew you were so powerful. Why don't you teach me? You know the guy in my family. He buys wine when he has some money. When he gets drunk, he comes back and beats us up. If I had your ability, would I still be afraid of him?"
The old lady was a little disappointed. She opened her mouth and said after a while, "If I were you, I would fight him with all my might. If you really can't beat him, won't he go to sleep? Beat him up until he gets scared and his legs tremble when he sees you. Then you'll be at peace. But you walk around the village like a bully, but when you get home you act like a little rabbit. If you don't know, you'd think there are two people living in your body, one during the day and one at night. Your behaviors are so different."
The old lady shut up after saying this. If she said too much, it would be her fault if something went wrong.
When she was young, she was famous for her fighting skills, but as she got older and her grandchildren were born, she became more stable. She hadn't fought for many years, so she suddenly got into a fight. It seemed that she was too old to handle it.
Zhou Guo was filled with admiration after hearing this. Not many people have such courage.
Other villagers also came in and said words of comfort and concern.
Everyone suffered a lot from Tiechui's bullying on a daily basis. He would invade other people's vegetable gardens at will, throwing a melon today and a few vegetables tomorrow. He would also pick the best-growing ones in the garden, leaving them with nothing to eat themselves.
He is a well-known rogue in the village. Once you get involved with him, it will be trouble that you can't get rid of. They will try not to provoke him.
Now that they have suffered such a huge loss and made such a fool of themselves, everyone feels relieved!
Everyone laughed and talked about his embarrassment, "I was so scared that I peed myself, hahaha, this is really embarrassing!"
After a while, everyone noticed Zhou Guo standing nearby. They remembered that this incident seemed to be caused by her, and asked curiously, "Aunt, who is this from your family? Is he the one who provoked Tiechui?"
Zhou Guo smiled and said, "Hello everyone, my name is Zhou Guo, I'm from Cangshan Village, I'm here today to collect duck eggs, if anyone in your family has duck eggs I can collect them! Same as what you sell, one penny each."
Not many people in the village raise ducks.
Several duck farmers were also there, and they said happily, "We have some at home. Wait, I'll go get them. I've already collected 70, 80, or 90 duck eggs at home."
"I have it at home too."
A few people squeezed out of the crowd and ran away. Nothing was more important than selling duck eggs!
Zhou Guo was very happy. This was the best solution as she no longer had to run from house to house.
When they heard she was going to collect duck eggs, everyone stopped gossiping and asked her, "How many duck eggs are you going to collect? Are you going to collect them all the time? Are you going to collect chicken eggs? We don't have duck eggs, but we do have chicken eggs. Can you collect our chicken eggs as well? They're much tastier than duck eggs!"
"Yes, yes, do you want to collect the eggs?"
Everyone is asking.
Zhou Guo said, "I only collect duck eggs. You won't have any trouble selling chicken eggs. If you have enough, you can take them to the county town to sell them. If all else fails, you can eat them at home."
Duck eggs are not easy to sell, and few people like to eat them.
"Oh, then don't you have to sell them yourself? There are many people selling eggs. If you are unlucky once or twice, you may not be able to sell them all. You have to sell them a few more times. If you can get them all at once, I won't have to go."
Zhou Guo said: "Then you can go more often. I don't accept chicken eggs, but if you have duck eggs, I will accept them."
"Tsk, why do you only want duck eggs? Duck eggs are one cent each, and chicken eggs are two cents each."
When a few people came hurriedly with baskets, Zhou Guo looked through them with them, discarding the bad ones and keeping the good ones.
There was a family that specialized in raising ducks. They had more than fifty ducks at home. They brought their children and carried seven baskets of duck eggs, all of which they had saved up on a daily basis.
Zhou Guo was surprised, "So many duck eggs?"
The woman smiled bitterly and said, "Duck eggs are not easy to sell. You can count the eggs that I have saved."
Zhou Guo squatted down and looked at them one by one, and finally counted out 233 good ones.
She paid the money readily, two strings for one hundred coins, and counted out thirty-three coins.
The woman was so happy that she couldn't hold all the food in one hand, so she had to put it in a basket. It was a huge pile.
Smiling, he asked Zhou Guo, "When will you come to collect them next time? We have a lot of ducks."
Zhou Guo said, "I'm not sure when I'll come again. I've been busy lately, so I don't know when I'll be free. Next time if you have extra duck eggs, you can send them to my house. I'm from Cangshan Village. You can ask Zhou Dacang's family. Everyone in the village knows. You can take as many as you can."
Hearing her say this, several duck farmers were very happy, and the old lady was also very happy, "Okay, okay, how long will it take you to collect them?"
Zhou Guo thought for a moment and said, "It will be collected temporarily, and it will not stop in the short term."
A few people were even happier and asked, "You collect duck eggs, do you collect ducks?"
Zhou Guo shook his head, "I won't accept ducks for now, only duck eggs."
It was such a long way from the city, and it would be unlucky for the animals to be transported there. Besides, the big restaurant might have its own ducks, and she wouldn't be able to sell them.
When other families saw how much money they made, especially the more than two hundred coins, they were jealous. It would take them a long time to earn so much money by selling eggs, and they could not sell so many eggs at once, so they wondered if they should raise a few ducks at home.
After Zhou Guo collected the eggs, she said goodbye. These people surrounded her and kept asking about the pine mushrooms in their village. If she didn't leave now, she might not be able to leave when the others from the fields came back.
The old lady walked in front to escort her out of the yard, with her little granddaughter beside her.
Zhou Guo took out all the candies from her bag and handed them to her. The little girl held her clothes and looked at the big bag of candies in her pocket in surprise. Are these all hers?
