Only this green, not disappointing the spring

Chapter 44 The Final Use of the House (2)

Old man Zhou wanted to get angry, but when he saw the half bowl of water, he held back.

There is no way. I was choking and burping. If I don’t drink some water, I will die here.

After drinking the water and finally catching his breath, Old Man Zhou threw the bowl hard to the ground.

"Niu, what on earth is going on? Who is the bastard who ruined my house like this? I'm going to complain to the head of the village. This Huaihua Village is about to become a den of bandits!"

Well, then you might have to sacrifice your own family for the greater good.

Niu felt a little gloating.

However, if outsiders heard this, the Zhou family would be completely disgraced.

Niu could only step forward to stop Old Man Zhou from yelling.

"Father, please keep your voice down. Yesterday, Mrs. Zhao packed up her things without mercy. She took away everything she could. She only promised to leave the house to you, but she didn't agree to leave the things inside as well!"

Old man Zhou choked instantly. No, does Niu think he is a fool?

"Bullshit, how much can a broken cart carry? If it can even carry heavy things like iron pots and bed boards, do they have wings?"

Niu could only reply in a low voice: "The bed board was taken away by the second son's family."

"Where's the iron pot? Let the boss carry it back. You guys are really capable!"

Old Man Zhou knew that there was no point in holding on to this matter any longer.

But he couldn't just let it go. There was a huge difference between being willing to give and having someone else take it by force. As the head of the Zhou family, his dignity must not be trampled on!

"Old family, call both of your families over now. I have something to say."

When Niu saw that her father-in-law was really angry, she felt a little scared.

Their Da'an country governs the world with filial piety. Apart from anything else, if the old man reports family affairs to the head of the village, it will be enough to make the family unbearable.

As long as he is not caught, the old man won’t be able to cause any trouble.

But what these two families did do was indeed a bit unkind, and it would be troublesome if the old man kept harping on them.

I can't exchange the things back, I'm planning to take the big iron pot back to my mother's house.

Now that the meat bun is in my mouth, there is no reason to take it out!

Niu had no choice but to go and call for help.

Old man Liu walked around the house but couldn't find a stool to sit on. His legs started to hurt again, so he sat down on the doorstep and waited for someone to come.

Looking at the thick threshold, Old Man Zhou felt a little depressed.

I guess the threshold will disappear in a few days, and then what? The door panels? The roof tiles?

Thinking of this, Old Man Zhou gnashed his teeth in anger. Do you think I am a soft persimmon? You little bastards, just wait for me!

After all the Zhou family members arrived, Old Man Zhou slowly stood up, holding the door frame. He stood on the threshold deliberately, looking down at his two sons and daughters-in-law.

"You took away all the things from the third brother's house without even telling him. So the next step is to demolish the house, right?"

Zhou Hu immediately tried to smooth things over with a smile.

"Dad, look at what you said. This house is yours. How can we demolish it? I don't know if you have seen this wall. At that time, the third brother's family had a row of jujube branches inserted on it."

"But look at it again. The villagers tore it apart overnight. If we don't take the things from this house, won't they be given away to outsiders?"

Zhou Fujia's family lives closest to Zhou Jun's family. If someone says that they didn't hear any noise at night, that would be an absolute lie.

It’s just that the two brothers took away all the useful things in the house, so they don’t care if someone climbs over the wall and breaks into the house.

Old man Zhou saw the footprints on the wall from a distance.

But they are just young boys, with the desire to steal but not the courage to do so. They can be easily run away with just a few shouts.

The second child uses this little thing as an excuse, does he think he is a three-year-old child? Humph!

Old Man Zhou suppressed his anger and continued:

"Since this matter has already passed, I, an old man, am too lazy to argue with you guys any more. However, this house was given to me by the third brother as a gift. As long as I am alive, you can forget about taking it!"

Mrs. Niu couldn't hold back her anger when she heard this. She was planning to buy piglets today, but the old man was deliberately ruining her plan!

Humph, if you don’t do it on the first day, don’t blame me for not doing it on the fifteenth.

Don’t even think about eating eggs from now on, you won’t be able to hide the eggshells!

As if sensing the threat from Niu, Old Man Zhou changed the subject:

"But if you want to use this house for something, that's fine. Just pay me a little rent every month. You don't have to pay too much, just a hundred coins a month will be fine!"

"One hundred coins?" Niu screamed in a shrill voice.

This year, there is only a little over one tael of silver. Is her father-in-law trying to steal the money? !

Mrs. Niu's voice was so familiar that Old Man Zhou couldn't help but think of his own old wife.

She kept nagging him with a shrill voice all day long, which annoyed him enough. After he finally died, he got another daughter-in-law who was exactly the same as hers!

He started to scold with annoyance:

"What the hell are you yelling about? You want to occupy my house and raise pigs for free? No way!"

When Zhou Hu and his wife heard this, they immediately became unhappy. Why?

Zhou Hu rolled his eyes and came up with an idea.

"Dad, my eldest brother's family raises piglets. They are all brothers, so we can't stop them from making money. How about this? My eldest brother and I can each pay fifty cents a month and rent this house."

"They raise pigs in the yard, so we raise rabbits in the house. It doesn't affect each other, so it's the best of both worlds."

Zhou Fu, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.

"Second brother, you are being a little unfair! Why should you use the house while we can only use the yard? It's windy, rainy, cold and freezing, even a piglet can't stand it!"

"Then let's switch. Big brother, you raise rabbits and we raise piglets in the yard. I'm fine with either. You have the final say."

Zhou Hu has such a kind look on his face that if you don’t know, you would think these two brothers have a very good relationship!

But Zhou Fu didn't say anything. How would he know how to raise rabbits? He had never even heard of it!

If it dies, you will lose a lot of money.

Finally, the Zhou family reached a settlement again, and Old Man Zhou's depressed mood was gone.

A shabby house in the countryside, if no one lives in it, will become dilapidated within a year.

Although raising those livestock is a bit dirty, everything will be fine as long as you pay!

I earn a hundred coins every month, which I can use to buy some wine.

The old lady who used to meddle in everything has been reincarnated long ago. Now I can finally live a carefree life. It makes me feel so happy just thinking about it!

Old man Zhou hummed a little tune and went to the back mountain to pick mugwort and wild ginger.

The two daughters-in-law of the Zhou family were so busy that they didn't even bother to make lunch, and just left it to the maid at home.

One ran to the neighboring Daliu Village to buy piglets, while the other was more troublesome and had to go to the city to buy rabbits.

The house, which had been quiet for a day, became lively again.

I wonder if Zhou Jun, who is far away in Dali Village, would be so angry that he would jump out of bed if he knew this.
