Chapter 257 The Control Group Quit Working (7)

Qiu Zhi's face froze, and she paused as she was about to nod. Buy?

This fish that can be easily caught from the water, and she has to pay money to buy it? Didn't they always give it to her as a gift before?

Liu Zhuang looked at Qiu Zhi and saw some clues from her face, and his face immediately darkened.

"Mrs. Qiu, if you don't want to buy them, just catch them yourself. There are plenty in the river."

After saying that, Liu Zhuang walked around Qiu Zhi and was about to leave. Qiu Zhi looked at the flowing water over there, which was not very fast but still scary.

Looking at the fish Liu Zhuang caught, he finally gritted his teeth and agreed.

"I'll buy."

Liu Zhuang paused, no longer frowning, and immediately looked at Qiu Zhi with a smile. He held the fish basket in front of Qiu Zhi and asked her to choose one.

"Mrs. Qiu, take a look. Do you want one or all of them?"

It’s still early anyway, and if Qiu Zhi buys all the fish for him, he can just continue fishing.

You can also make some money, what a great thing!

The fish in the fish basket were still struggling and moving. Qiu Zhi stepped back in disgust and watched from a distance.

After thinking about it, I decided to take them all and keep the extra ones in a tank. Maybe they can tempt the people in the Jiang family.

After figuring it out, Qiu Zhi raised her head.

"Just these few. I want them all. Send them home to me."

She didn't want to carry something with such a strong fishy smell, or she would get the smell on her body.

Thinking about this, Qiu Zhi felt sad again, thinking about her past...

When Liu Zhuang heard Qiu Zhi's words and looked at her disgusted expression, he just wondered why he was so stupid.

Why didn’t I realize Qiu Zhi’s inconsistency before?

"Give me the silver first."

Liu Zhuang stood there without moving. Qiu Zhi took a few steps forward and had no choice but to feel around in her arms, and managed to find a few coins.

She didn't care about the few cents, but when she thought about the things she used to eat for free, she now had to pay for them.

I felt a little angry and resented the Jiang family more and more.

If this family hadn't been making trouble, why would she be like this?

The ten cents were placed in Liu Zhuang's hand. Liu Zhuang looked a little excited, but more of it was regret.

Before this, he had given Qiu Zhi a lot of fish. According to the silver given by Qiu Zhi, it was almost one or two taels of silver.

If I had known earlier, I would have known earlier...

It's a pity that the world didn't know it earlier.

Qiu Zhi was rushing back with Liu Zhuang and had to pass by Jiang's house. The door of Jiang's house was open and Cui Ai was sitting in the yard picking vegetables.

When Qiu Zhi saw Cui Ai, she felt a little upset and said.

"Brother Zhuang, please walk faster. These fish need to be used to make fish porridge for my family, Shizhou. They must be fresh."

She was very proud and wanted to say that Qiuzhi could eat as much fish as she wanted, but your Jiang family rarely got to eat it.

Unexpectedly, Liu Zhuang ignored him and shouted at Cui Ai instead.

"Sister-in-law, is Jiang Yi's injury okay?"

Cui Ai also ignored Qiu Zhi and smiled at Liu Zhuang.

"Luckily, I was rescued in time. The doctor said I need to take more supplements."

"Okay, I'll go catch some big fish and bring them over to Jiang Yi to nourish him."

Cui Ai did not refuse. Liu Zhuang was Jiang Sanyu's cousin, and Jiang Yi's uncle.

The elders care about the younger ones, there is no need to refuse.

Besides, catching fish is Liu Zhuang's forte. At worst, they can just bring some things back to Liu Zhuang from other places.

The two people's conversation, which was carried out as if no one was around, sounded particularly harsh to Qiu Zhi's ears.

Liu Zhuang asked for silver when he gave her the fish, but refused to pay for it when he gave it to the Jiang family. This was simply... a slap in her face.

Qiu Zhi's face looked unhappy, and she walked towards her home with heavier steps.

Liu Zhuang, who was standing behind him, pretended not to see anything. He delivered the fish and turned away. Anyway, he had got the money.

After a while, Liu Zhuang came to Jiang's house with two big fish and put the fish into Cui Ai's hands.

"Sister-in-law, take this. I'll go see Jiang Yi."

Cui Ai nodded and took it, while preparing a piece of pork for Liu Zhuang, intending to take it with him when he left.

When Liu Zhuang came to the study, Mo Ci was writing on paper with a brush.

Liu Zhuang couldn't read, but he knew that the characters looked pretty. Looking at Mo Ci's focused expression, he didn't want to disturb him.

In fact, Mo Ci already knew it when he came in.

He just didn't look up before he finished writing the word. He imitated the essence of Jiang Yi's handwriting and made some changes to it.

Even if Jiang Yi's teacher saw it, he would only feel that his calligraphy had become more personal based on the original one.

After finishing the last word, Mo Ci looked up at Liu Zhuang, "Uncle Liu, you're here."

Liu Zhuang nodded, took out a copper coin from his pocket and handed it to Mo Ci.

"Keep it and buy yourself a meat bun to replenish your energy."

"Uncle Liu, I can't accept it."

Mo Ci refused, saying that Liu Zhuang only had an old mother at home, and he should have discussed marriage a long time ago, but his family was very poor because of his sick old mother.

This penny may not seem like much, but for Liu Zhuang, it is definitely not a small amount.

Besides, the Jiang family has not reached that point yet, and they also took one hundred taels from Qiu Zhi, so they don’t need it at all.

Liu Zhuang didn't let Mo Ci push it. He just stuffed the copper coin into the corner of the table and turned to leave.

"Just take it. Does your Uncle Liu need this little bit? Have a good rest. I have to go home."

While Mo Ci was picking up the copper coin, he had already left the house, but Cui Ai's piece of pork was stuffed into Liu Zhuang's hands.

Cui Ai watched Mo Ci walk out of the study and asked curiously, "Xiao Yi, what's wrong?"

Mo Ci raised the copper coin in his hand to show Cui Ai, "Uncle Liu gave it to me to buy meat buns."

Cui Ai looked at the copper coin, was stunned for a moment, and then laughed.

"Just keep it if you give it to me. Mother is here."

Cui Ai kept this favor in mind and would repay it whenever she had the chance.

On the other side, Du Shizhou, who successfully drank the fish soup, was not so happy because the Jiang family started stewing pork again.

The fragrance was even more overbearing, and Du Shizhou was unhappy and wanted to make a fuss.

Qiu Zhi was helpless, but it was impossible for her to go to the county town to buy it at the moment, so she could only persuade him first and began to think about leaving Liushui Township.

Originally, she had only agreed to leave with Du Shizhou, but she actually had no intention of leaving at all.

After all, among the surrounding villages, only Liushui Township is better off, where orphans and widows like them will not be harmed.

But if you go to another place, it may not be the same.

However, what happened today made Qiuzhi waver in her thoughts, but she still planned to wait and see.

If other people were like Liu Zhuang, then she should have taken Du Shizhou away.

Soon, Qiuzhi encountered a second problem: the drinking water at home was almost gone.

In the past, it was people from other families who would give her some credit.

Especially the Jiang family, the two families live close to each other, so everyone will lend a hand if they can.

But now...

Qiu Zhi looked at the empty water tank, then looked at the other water tank occupied by fish, and felt a little annoyed for a moment.

She carried the bucket to the spring and felt a little embarrassed for a moment.

It just so happened that Jiang Dazhu, the eldest son of the Jiang family, also came to fetch water, and Qiu Zhi spoke without thinking.

"Jiang Da, help me get a bucket too."

Jiang Dazhu glanced at Qiu Zhi without saying a word. He just answered the phone for himself and left with the water.

Qiu Zhi was dumbfounded and shouted quickly.

"Jiang Da? Jiang Da?! Didn't you hear me? Help me get a bucket of water too. Didn't you always..."

Before she could finish her words, Jiang Dazhu stopped and turned to look at her. This look made Qiu Zhi a little scared, and Jiang Dazhu finally stopped being silent.

"Before, we helped you because we felt sorry for you, an orphan and a widow. Now that your son has beaten my nephew and still refuses to repent, I will not help you anymore."

Jiang Dazhu was quite polite, and it was also because the atmosphere in Liushui Township was good. If it were somewhere else, Qiu Zhi would have been too embarrassed to face anyone.

Even so, Qiu Zhi's face turned pale and blue, and her face was full of shame and anger, but she was unwilling to give in and continued.

"I'll give you money, isn't that enough?"

Jiang Dazhutou didn't even reply, "You are Qiuzhi, and your son is Du Shizhou. This won't work. No amount of silver will do."

After saying that, Jiang Dazhu's figure moved further and further away. Qiu Zhi became more and more embarrassed and angry, but she could do nothing about Jiang Dazhu.

She stood by the spring, waiting for others to come. Someone would definitely lend a hand, right?

At the very least, you have to save face for the money, right?
