Chapter 81: Taking advantage of you
She didn't ask her younger brother if she understood, after all, her younger brother was still young, she was married, and the family had to rely on her younger sister to support her.
"I have cut all the fish today, you go to Zhou Da Niang's house, just say, there is a strong wind today, there are not many fish, a few have been cut, if you want, three cents, only sell two."
"Tomorrow, your brother-in-law will go to the town first, you can't catch fish early, your brother-in-law has not been on the mountain recently, and plans to catch some fish to sell in the town, if Aunt Zhou still wants to buy fish, we will talk about it then."
Lin Xiaofu looked at the fish in the basin and taught the little sister.
Lin Xiaochun wrote them down one by one, and then ran to Zhou Daniang's house again, but he didn't have time to eat.
Fortunately, it's just diagonally opposite, not far away.
Soon Lin Xiaochun ran back, followed by Aunt Zhou, and took a small bamboo basket.
"Xiaofu girl, I took advantage of you today, and it was also your grandfather Zhou who was greedy and wanted to eat fish."
Aunt Zhou seemed to understand in her heart, and when she walked into the kitchen, she explained with a smile.
In her basket were six eggs, or three cents.
"I've cut all this fish, and I'm going to fry it for a while, so let's pick it yourself."
Lin Xiaofu accepted the eggs and said politely.
Anyway, the fish are about the same size, and there is no big difference in weight, so it is good to sell it smoothly.
Aunt Zhou only gave the price of two pennies, and she only asked for an extra penny, so as not to let Aunt Zhou gossip about her because she was too expensive.
This Aunt Zhou is not bad, but her mouth is also very slippery, and she likes to gossip.
"Next time you catch a fish, remember to shout at my house, if your grandfather Zhou still wants to eat, I'll buy it again."
Aunt Zhou flipped through the fish, picked the two largest, and said with a smile.
"Aunt Zhou, if our family catches fish again, we want to sell it in the town, how many can we send back to our parents' house?"
Lin Xiaofu smiled.
It seems that the words of the little sister who took her made this mother-in-law not take it to heart and only care about her own purpose.
"Who is my mother-in-law, if I take all the fish to my mother's house, will she spare me?"
"Today is also the first time that Aunt Zhou has opened her mouth, so I let out two of the things I want to eat."
"That's it......" Aunt Zhou was stunned, her expression a little embarrassed.
But when I glanced at the basin, there were indeed only a few fish, which was reasonable.
"Aunt Zhou wants to eat fish next time, you can go to my mother-in-law's house and ask, if there is, you can naturally sell it."
Lin Xiaofu saw that Aunt Zhou's face was a little unpleasant, so he simply added.
If she turns her face if she can't take advantage, then she is not afraid of offending people.
It's a big deal to let other families buy eggs in the future.
Two eggs for a penny are at this price in any village, and they can be sold for one penny or three for two cents in the town.
If it weren't for her mother's previous words, she would have wanted to buy a laying hen and come back.
But now, before those bad guys are completely defeated, there really can't be anything at home, otherwise it will be reserved for those people.
"We'll talk about that later." Aunt Zhou smiled, put the two fish in the basket, and turned to leave.
As soon as I walked to the gate of the courtyard, I met Zhao Zicheng coming back with water.
"It's different to have a son-in-law, and you can work hard."
Aunt Zhou laughed and teased, and went home.
"How did she get the fish?" Zhao Zicheng walked into the kitchen and looked at Lin Xiaofu puzzled.
"Oh, she wanted to exchange four eggs for two of us, I asked for six eggs, and she wanted to exchange fish with us in the future, and I said that we caught fish and were going to sell them in town."
Lin Xiaofu took the six eggs out and showed them to Zhao Zicheng, and explained what happened just now with a smile.
