Chapter 30

“About the eggs.” An Ye said, “Li Xu came back last night and told me that the guy surnamed Chu wanted to buy the eggs. He has already negotiated a price with the two brothers and will deliver the eggs in five days.”

Ning Jia shook his head: “He didn’t tell me.”

“This is unreliable!” An Ye said with disdain, “This will only delay our ability to make money.”

“Li Yao didn’t look very well when he came back last night. I don’t know why he was unhappy. There was a bump on his head. He said he fell while riding his bike. I asked him for a long time, but he refused to answer me. I always felt that he was hiding something from me.” Ning Jia said in a low voice.

“Li Xu also had a wound on his head. I asked him about it and he said it was just a scratch. On the way back, the two of them fell into a ditch!”

After hearing what An Ye said, Ning Jia felt much more relieved.

After returning to the house, Ning Jia washed up, put some cold cream on her face, tied her long black hair into a high ponytail in front of the mirror, and pinned the two red glass hairpins that Li Yao gave her to her temples.

She admired her face in the mirror and found that her skin was not so pale anymore and seemed to have some redness.

It seems that I have to eat meat!

As soon as Li Yao opened his eyes, he saw Ning Jia’s new outfit today.

“Awake? Do you look good?” Ning Jia turned around and smiled sweetly at her.

Li Yao was a little flustered. After he came to his senses, he said dryly, “It looks…good.”

Ning Jia smiled: “Your answer is so reluctant.”

“Don’t force it, it looks good.” Li Yao repeated.

Ning Jia was happy and handed him the clothes he had taken off.

Li Yao took it and started to put on his clothes. Ning Jia watched him put on his clothes and suddenly asked, “How many eggs did Chu Songbai want?”

“Five hundred.” Li Yao blurted out.

“Then why didn’t you tell me yesterday?”

Li Yao was silent.

“If I hadn’t met An Ye this morning, I wouldn’t have known about this! Tell me, how did you get to the topic of eggs?”

“That Chu Songbai took the initiative to bring it up.” Li Yao took out the Parker pen from his pocket and handed it to Ning Jia, “This is his deposit.”

“Another pen!” Ning Jia was quite puzzled.

Who is this Chu Songbai? He always uses Parker pens as deposits!

Aren’t you really afraid that she will get greedy for a moment, take the pen away and never come back?

“I negotiated the price of eggs with him. It was 25 cents per pound.”

Ning Jia thought about it and went to the village to buy eggs at 20 cents per pound, making a net profit of 5 cents per pound. The local eggs were small, and there were about eight to nine eggs in a pound. Five hundred eggs would be fifty pounds.

She made a net profit of twenty-five from this deal.

If you give half to An Ye, that would be twelve dollars and fifty cents.

good!

“Okay, leave the task of collecting eggs to me.” Ning Jia said.

“It’s not easy to collect. Stay away from the captain and don’t let him know.” Li Yao reminded.

Ning Jia laughed: “Don’t worry, I’m not afraid of him. Just go to work with peace of mind, and I promise to collect 50 kilograms of eggs for you in five days!”

Li Yao glanced at her feet and asked, “Are your feet okay?”

“Yes. No problem!”

Li Yao agreed: “Okay, if you have any questions, tell me as soon as possible.”

“clear!”

“It’s time for dinner! Come out and eat!” Bai Jinfeng’s voice came from the yard.

Ning Jia locked the pen in the drawer and said, “Let’s go and have dinner.”

Li Yao’s eyes stayed on the drawer for a few seconds, then he slowly asked, “Do you remember anything about that pen?”

“What?” Ning Jia looked confused. “Remember what? What does this mean?”

“Chu Songbai asked.”

“It’s so confusing. What can a pen remember?” Ning Jia recalled the plot in his head for a long time, but still couldn’t figure out who this Chu Songbai was.

It’s as if… this person doesn’t exist in the original text.

I searched the original owner’s memory again, and found that Chu Songbai did not exist in the original owner’s memory either.

Seeing that Ning Jia’s expression did not seem like she was lying, Li Yao’s expression eased a lot: “Don’t think about it, let’s go and have dinner. If it’s late, we won’t be able to eat anything.”

“Okay~”

At the dinner table, the brothers Li Yao and Li Xu, one had a scratch on his head, and the other had an egg-sized bump on his head.

Liang Lanlan saw it immediately and pointed at the wounds on their heads and asked, “What happened to you? Where did you go last night? How did your heads get like this?”

Li Xu first said: “My wife kicked me off the kang last night and her head hit the ground.”

Liang Lanlan was half-believing and half-doubting, and turned her gaze to Li Yao: “What about you?”

Li Yao: “I went to the toilet to slander others and hit a tree.”

Liang Lanlan didn’t believe it at all: “How could such an injury be caused by a collision?”

“able.”

Last night, Liang Lanlan muttered to her husband for a long time, saying that his two younger brothers were acting abnormally, which caused Li Yuan to become suspicious.

“Sixth Brother, tell me the truth, how did you get this injury? It looks like you fell down! Did you ride a bike last night?”

When Ning Jia saw the third brother and his wife asking this, he knew that they were suspicious.

She rolled her eyes, looking unhappy: “Third brother and third sister-in-law, are you so interested in what happened in my room? You have to dig deep into my head! I had a fight with him last night, and the wound on his head was caused by me scratching it! My nails cut off a piece of his flesh! Are you satisfied now?”

“It doesn’t look like it…” Li Yuan still insisted on his opinion.

Ning Jiayi rolled up his sleeves and shook his fingernails in front of his eyes: “Third brother, if you really can’t do it, how about I cover it up for you on the spot? Be prepared, it may be a little painful.”

“No, no, no!” Li Yuan waved his hands hastily, “I believe it, I believe it.”

When Old Mrs. Xu saw the injuries on her two sons’ faces, she felt heartbroken.

They are all more disappointing than the other!

“An Ye, Ning Jia! Men are your face. You beat your men like this. How can you let them go out? How will people laugh at them when they tell others about it?”

Li Xu was about to speak, but when he saw An Ye’s cold face, the words rolled around on the tip of his tongue and he changed his words: “Mom, it’s okay. It’s not someone else who beat my wife. It’s not shameful!”

Li Yao chewed a piece of biscuit and said slowly, “It’s not shameful to tell others about our little interest in marriage.”

Old Mrs. Xu’s eyes are about to fall out!

One is not shameful, the other is a little fun!

Really great!

“Okay, okay, it’s me, an old woman, who is redundant!” Old Mrs. Xu said angrily.

These two sons are wasted!

She could understand Lao Wu’s situation. This useless guy was so obsessed with his wife that he didn’t use his energy to work, but spent it all on An Ye’s two acres of land.

What’s the situation with this old six?

A few days ago, he was angry with her behind her back, disliking her for getting medicine for him.

It’s obvious that he doesn’t want to sleep with his wife.

Why are you protecting him again now?

Li Chuan, who had been silent the whole time, saw that his mother was unhappy. He cleared his throat and said, “Mom, you don’t have to worry about the affairs of the fifth and sixth brothers. Why don’t you worry about my affairs?”

“What’s your matter?” asked the old lady.

“My marriage with Xiaoxi! Her mother wrote back and agreed, but she wants a dowry!” Li Chuan said.

When she heard about the gift, Mrs. Xu was startled and asked hurriedly, “How much?”

Li Chuan raised two thumbs up: “Not more, not less, two hundred!”

“Oh my god!” Old Mrs. Xu gasped, her eyes unconsciously looking at Li Tao, “Two hundred yuan is not a small amount! However, Lin Zhiqing is from the city, and she will definitely suffer if she marries into our countryside. I can understand that she wants two hundred… But I have to find a way to get it together.”
