I farmed and built a villa in ancient times

Chapter 166

Baoyu grinned, turned around obediently, beat his strong arms, and laughed heartlessly: "Mom, what can happen to me? I'm fine."

Li Xiuju pinched his arm and said, "As long as everything is fine, it's fine."

"Mom, guess how many good things I got this time?" Baoyu blinked and asked Li Xiuju.

Li Xiuju pursed her lips and smiled, "Mom, as long as you can come back safely, I can fight as many things as you like."

Li Xiuju's words did not go as Baoyu expected. Zhou Chenyu looked at his ear-to-ear smile and followed his wishes and asked: "You brat, seeing you so happy, it seems like you have gained a lot?"

"That is, once I go out, nothing good can escape from my hands." Baoyu was waiting for her sister's words. She proudly walked behind the cart and opened the clothes covering the cage, "Mom, Sister, look what this is!"

Zhou Chenyu and Li Xiuju glanced at the mysterious Baoyu, stepped forward and took a closer look, and saw two animals with smooth fur. They asked in unison: "Is this a fox?"

Baoyu held the cage and smiled happily: "Exactly!"

"On this trip to Stone Mountain, I originally wanted to catch a wild boar, but instead of catching a wild boar, I actually caught two foxes."

Zhou Chenyu looked at Baoyu's expression as he found the treasure, and asked suspiciously: "Is the price of this fox better than that of a wild boar?"

Li Xiuju carefully observed the fur of the two foxes and nodded: "That's natural. It's almost winter now. It's cold. People from wealthy families are waiting to buy some good fur to keep out the cold. This fox fur is one of them. .”

"Mom once heard that fox furs with slightly different colors can be sold for two or three taels of silver, and fine ones can be sold for five or six taels of silver."

Five or six taels of silver?
"Are they so valuable?" Zhou Chenyu stared at the two little things and thought about it, and it was indeed true.

In winter, they can rely on charcoal pots to stay warm at home, but when they go outside, they rely on these warm clothes to keep warm.

Just like a high-quality down jacket, a single piece costs tens of thousands.

The price is expensive for a reason.

Li Xiuju opened her eyes wide, looked at the fox's coat carefully, and recalled the past:
"Your father has been hunting in Stone Mountain for so many years, and all he has caught are pheasants, hares, and the best ones are wild boar and other living animals. I have never seen such a fair-looking fox."

"Mom thinks, these two little guys should be able to sell for a lot of money."

Baoyu was also surprised, looking at the two furry foxes in the cage, "I thought it would only cost one or two taels of silver at most. If it can be sold for a few more taels of silver, that would be great."

The hard work of these ten days was all worth it.

Suddenly there was a surprise. Li Xiuju smiled and held on to the trolley, and muttered happily: "Baoyu, you have worked hard outside for more than ten days. You will definitely not be able to eat anything good in the mountains. Come on, let's go home. We are scheduled to go home tonight." Let’s have a good celebration.”

Baoyu paused and helped push the cart to the door, "Mom, it's not enough. The things brought back this time are all valuable, and there are still a lot of prey at the bottom of the mountain that have not been brought back."

"I have to make another trip and get everything back before dark."

Zhou Chenyu helped unload the fox, pheasants and hares from the car, "Baoyu, I'll go with you. We can go faster together."

Baoyu looked at her sister and nodded, "Yes."

Li Xiuju looked at the two siblings and said, "That's fine. Mom and Wanqiu will stay in the house to prepare dinner for everyone. You go early and come back early." "Sister Wanqiu is at home too?" Baoyu raised his head in confusion.

Zhou Chenyu took a look at the sky, unloaded everything on the cart, then took his hand and pushed the cart away, "A lot of things happened at home during your absence. Let's go, I'll meet you on the way. Tell you."

Just like what he told Li Xiuju, Zhou Chenyu only told Baoyu that Chen Cuiping was in late autumn only because of family matters, not because of Qian Rushan's intimidation.

Despite this, Baoyu was still so angry that he yelled, "Beast, you are simply a beast!"

"Sister Wan Qiu usually works hard at home and serves their whole family. Not only are they not grateful, but Chen Cuiping even beats her and beats her so severely. Are they still human?"

Baoyu looked at his silent sister and couldn't bear to say: "Sister, if Sister Wanqiu stays in that house and is beaten like this, she will die sooner or later. It's better to let her live in our house. I can also make money now, I will definitely be able to To feed everyone.”

Zhou Chenyu glanced at Baoyu. When she first learned about this, she was like Baoyu. She was holding back her anger and even wanted to vent her anger on Wan Qiu's behalf.

But after thinking about it carefully, someone with a temper like Zhou Wanqiu's has been suppressed and scolded since childhood. The edges have been smoothed out long ago, and he no longer has the courage to resist.

Even if she helped her out once, nothing would change. As long as Zhou Wanqiu stayed in that home, and as long as Chen Cuiping, Zhou Wenwu, and even the two vampire brothers did not change their tempers, Zhou Wanqiu's situation would never change.

After a period of silence, the oppression from the whole family will still come.

However, they now have a mountain of money as a bargaining chip.

That's fine.

Zhou Chenyu watched the sunset slowly sinking into the mountains, held the cart steady, and sped up, "Of course you can. But the premise is that you have to convince her."

Zhou Chenyu and Baoyu pushed the cart, chasing the setting sun in the west, and transported everything back home before the sky darkened.

It was getting dark. Everyone had been busy all day and was waiting for dinner.

Li Xiuju stayed alone in the kitchen and started to work.

Zhou Wanqiu finished washing the vegetables and had no work to do. Hearing the movement outside the yard, he hurriedly went out to help move things, "Baoyu, you are so amazing, you have killed so many prey. Come, let me help you."

Baoyu caught a glimpse of the cloth tied around Zhou Wanqiu's neck and did not dare to let go, "Sister Wanqiu, how are you?"

Zhou Wanqiu was stunned. Facing Baoyu's worried eyes, he smiled and shook his head, "Baoyu, I'm fine. I can help."

"No, Sister Wanqiu, leave this to me. You can go in and have a rest." Baoyu smiled and carried a large bag of dried fish into the yard.

Zhou Chenyu stared at Zhou Wanqiu and took action. He took the dried fish from her hand and replaced it with dried bamboo shoots. There was nothing he could do with her:
"Leave the heavy ones to me. If you want to help, just carry these light ones."

"Hey." Zhou Wanqiu's eyes sparkled, and he excitedly took the things and followed Zhou Chenyu into the yard.

Before the rice was cooked, they carefully counted the harvest. They found two fine white foxes, two cages of hares, a dozen pheasants that kept squawking, and three bags of dried fish. and dried bamboo shoots.

He went into the mountain alone and gained more than the last time his brother and sister went into the mountain.
