Return to the small mountain village in 1981

Chapter 591 592: I Can't Figure It Out As soon as Youngest Xiong got home, Zhou Sufang came and looked at him with a happy face, "Youngest, Lian Fang said that you guys have started to collect red mushrooms, is that true?"

"Yeah!" The youngest bear said with a big smile on his face, "You still have some dried in the sun, go get them and let me sell them for you."

"Okay!" Zhou Sufang turned around happily and looked back, "I also picked up some today. I'll bring you the dried ones after I sort them out and dry them."

The youngest Xiong suddenly remembered that there were only two people in his family. If too many people came to deliver the red mushrooms, they would be too late. He hurriedly called her and said, "Mom, send the old man to my place this afternoon, and you can help us pick the red mushrooms, okay?"

"Okay!" Zhou Sufang nodded happily, "I'll go back and clean up your old man, and you can come back and bring him over."

"Oh!" The youngest bear nodded gratefully. "I'll go cut some bamboo first, and build a rack to hold the dustpans and other things."

"Go! Come to my place for dinner later." Zhou Sufang returned home briskly and saw Big Brother Xiong mending the basket in the yard. "Big Brother, the youngest one has started to harvest red mushrooms. You go..."

"What?" The eldest brother stopped what he was doing and looked at her in disbelief. "You just said that the youngest one has started to collect red mushrooms?"

"What's wrong? Are you unhappy that your brother is harvesting red mushrooms?" Zhou Sufang glared at him in reproach. "Go to the youngest brother's house and help him cut some bamboo and build some racks to dry the red mushrooms."

"Oh!" Boss Bear thought of how the youngest Zhou and his brothers made a lot of money collecting truffles and mushrooms, and his heart suddenly warmed up. "Mom, did the youngest brother say that he would take us to do it together?"

"This..." Zhou Sufang thought of what the youngest Xiong said a few days ago, that it was impossible for him to work with them. "The youngest said that he was collecting the money for Doctor Fang in the county town, and he was just making some money."

Boss Xiong saw her hesitating and understood immediately, "He gets paid for his work. How much does he pay me per day?"

Zhou Sufang also felt guilty and said weakly, "You are my brother, so what if you go to help him? Besides, you can go pick mushrooms and sell them for money tomorrow."

"Okay! I haven't finished the work at hand yet. I'll go when I'm free." Thinking that he could pick red mushrooms and sell them tomorrow, Boss Xiong didn't say much.

Zhou Sufang felt a little sad when she thought of the Zhou brothers discussing something. She couldn't understand how Chen Guilan, the shrew, taught those brothers. Why were the brothers in her family so united?

  ……

It didn't take long before the news that Xiong Laoya was offering 5.2 cents per pound of first-class red mushrooms reached Yang Chunyan's home.

Zhou's mother thought about the time when they were collecting eels at home and Cai Ermei used a trick to kill them just when they were busy. Then she used the herbs again. Fortunately, they didn't know what they were and failed to cause trouble.

Could it be that this time the red mushroom business would be ruined by that bastard Xiong Laoya? The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. She cursed at the direction of the Xiong family at the foot of the mountain, "...Bastard, he does whatever others do. If you have the ability, just find a way yourself!"
