When Mrs. Zhou heard the noise outside, she quickly put on Xiao An's clothes and wiped her tears with her sleeves. When she went out, she saw that it was Mrs. Wang, the mother of Hu Zi in the front yard.

"Brothers and sisters, please come in quickly. It's hot outside. Come in and talk."

Mrs. Wang led Huzi into the house and handed the basket in her hand to Mrs. Zhou.

"These are the dried sweet potatoes I dried. They are made from fresh sweet potatoes just picked from the field. I will bring them over for you to try, otherwise this bastard will eat them all."

Mrs. Wang nodded Huzi's head and put the basket on the table.

The Zhou family and the Wang family have a good relationship. They have a front and back yard at home, helping each other in everything they do. Xiao An and Hu Zi have been playmates since childhood, so the relationship between the two families is naturally cordial.

"Brothers and sisters, if you keep this thing for yourself, how can you give it away? It's a good thing to keep until winter, and it can also satisfy the children's cravings."

Mrs. Zhou quickly pushed the basket out. At this time, Li Yuezhu came back from washing the dishes and saw her mother and Huzi's mother pushing and shoving for a basket of sweet potatoes.

"Oh, mother, you can't sway someone else's kindness. I've made the decision. We'll accept this basket of sweet potatoes."

As Li Yuezhu said this, he picked up the basket and poured the dried sweet potatoes into his own basket.

"Hey, this little girl, how can she accept other people's things at will? She really doesn't understand the rules anymore." Although Mrs. Zhou shook her head and thought that Li Yuezhu didn't understand the rules, she had a smile on her lips and didn't speak.

There is no intention to accuse Li Yuezhu.

Li Yuezhu carried the empty basket, took out the cakes she bought yesterday, and put the whole package into the basket. If Huzi hadn't come to report the news yesterday, her mother and brother would not have known how miserable they were being bullied. Li Yuezhu was thinking

There is still a lot, plus a basket of dried sweet potatoes delivered today. Although it is not worth much, this kind of kindness is really rare.

"Since my aunt came here with a basket, there is absolutely no reason for my family to let you leave with an empty basket."

Li Yuezhu came over with a basket while smiling.

Mrs. Wang looked into the basket and saw that it was a package made of oil paper. There were oil flowers floating on the oil paper. At a glance, she knew it was a valuable item.

"Hey, Zhu girl, you can't do this. My basket of dried sweet potatoes is all home-made, and it's not worth much. Quickly put down this thing in the blue. You can't do this, you can't do it."

Mrs. Zhou watched Li Yuezhu take out a pack of snacks and put them in the basket. She nodded and agreed very much with what her daughter did today. Mrs. Wang really helped her family a lot as she planted in spring and harvested in autumn. As a fellow villager, she

There is nothing to take away from home.

Li Yuezhu's actions really touched her heart.

"Brother and sister, just accept it. You take good care of us on weekdays. What does this little thing mean? Ask Huzi to go home and eat slowly to satisfy his craving."

Wang tried to shirk it in every possible way, but when she saw that Zhou and Li Yuezhu were sincerely giving it to her, she accepted it with some embarrassment.

"Look at what happened. When I get back, my second brother insists on me. Huzi should take brother Xiaoan out to play, but don't run too far. Remember to hide away when you see that old woman."

Mrs. Wang let go of holding Huzi's hand. Huzi was a little dazed. He kept looking at the oil paper package in the basket in a daze, and he almost cried out.

When Li Yuezhu saw this, he chuckled: "Look at how greedy our tigers are. Come here, sister, I'll give you a big one."

After Li Yuezhu finished speaking, he went to the inner room and took out a piece of peach cake and put it in Hu Zi's hand.

Huzi held the peach cake in both hands, fearing that some dregs would fall to the ground. Seeing his cautious appearance, Li Yuezhu asked Xiao An to go out to play with Huzi.

"Sister-in-law, what good news!" Ms. Wang's eyes sparkled and she whispered into Ms. Zhou's ear.

"Early this morning, the village chief announced that the orchard contracted to Li Cuihua's family has been taken back. A notice has been issued asking who is willing to contract it now."

Mrs. Wang paused when she said this, and glanced at Mr. Zhou with raised eyebrows, "How do you think? This is good news."

Mrs. Zhou thought that the old village chief was just trying to scare Li Cuihua yesterday, but she didn't expect that this was already implemented after only one night.

"Can Li Cuihua let go of the orchard that she worked so hard to get so happily?" Ms. Zhou knew the old lady very well.

"Oh, you don't know something about this. I heard that the old lady only contracted the orchard for two years and it was not because she had no money. Before that, the old village chief asked the old lady if she wanted to continue the contract. The old lady saw that

The fruit tree is about to bear fruit, so how can you give up?"

Mrs. Zhou stared at Mrs. Wang intently, and listened to the gossip with her ears.

"It was helpless that the old lady couldn't come up with the money, so she had to take it on credit and discuss it with the village chief, and pay it back when the fruit trees bear fruit."

Wang's voice became louder and louder as she spoke, and Li Yuezhu, who was hiding behind the door, heard clearly.

"The old village chief has always disagreed. A while ago, he was thinking of continuing the bidding. The one with the highest bid would get it. Everyone knows that the old lady is coquettish and domineering, so no one has dared to bid."

When Wang said this, he couldn't help scolding the old lady again.

"That damn old woman has never seen anyone who can do it better than her. That damn old woman originally wanted to give it a try, but when the damn old lady heard about it, she disrupted Tie Zhu's newly arranged marriage. Do you think this person is immoral?"

"Yeah, I've never seen such an old lady." Mrs. Zhou echoed from behind.

"Now that the old lady committed a crime, the village chief took back the orchard openly. Anyway, the old lady hasn't paid the rent for this year. Now she can only lie in front of the village chief's door and cry."

"What? She is crying in front of the village chief's house now?"

"Yeah, now the old village chief's family has started to make trouble again. I think the village chief doesn't dare to hand over the orchard to her again this time."

Mrs. Zhou nodded, this old lady deserved to be like this. She had bullied many honest people in her daily life, so she deserved retribution.

"How are you, sister-in-law? Are you interested? I went to check it out this morning. The orchard is really bearing fruit. The fruit should be ripe in two months."

Mrs. Zhou shook her head. How could her family have the money to contract the orchard?

"Brothers and sisters, I advise you not to wade into this muddy water. Although the orchard is now ownerless, the fruit trees are already bearing fruits. Whoever contracted this will not cause a fishy mess. Think about it, that old man

Madam, can you let it go?"

"That's what you said. I've also thought about it. Pies don't fall from the sky. Pies that fall into your mouth must be fishy."

Mrs. Zhou and Mrs. Wang exchanged some sweet words, and it was not until noon that Mrs. Wang took her basket and led Huzi home.

After Li Yuezhu watched Mr. Wang go home, he found some moldy millet to feed the chickens.

Today Mrs. Wang came over and brought a big news. She was not interested in this orchard at first, but after hearing what Mr. Wang said, she became interested. She must go to the orchard one day to see it. She didn’t know what kind of trees were planted. How much would it cost to contract it?
