C9 She Even Wanted to Take the Money Back

The books seem to mention that crabs are worth five cents per kilogram and the black market in the city doesn't need tickets and can be sold for eight cents.

This was also the price mentioned in the book three years later when Mu Tongtong went to the black market to do business.

Now, there was basically no fluctuation in the price of goods. All the major changes would have to wait until they could openly start a small business.

That was still very far away from now.

Before that, she still had a lot of things to do.

Mu Zhizhi opened her big round eyes and stared at Mu Churong's hand. She was sure that he had put the meat into every basket.

She used a big stone to hold the meat in the river again and shook her little head in satisfaction.

Mu Guangyao smiled helplessly and dotingly.

If they could catch more crabs and make his sister happy, they should be the ones profiting.

"Zhizhi, be good. This is our little secret. You can't tell anyone else about it when you go back." Mu Anze kissed Mu Zhizhi and reminded her not to worry.

His sister was still too young and was always fooled by Mu Tongtong. To be honest, he was really worried.

"I won't say! We won't tell anyone. It's all ours!" Mu Zhizhi pouted and firmly agreed.

Mu Anze and the others saw that she was so obedient and laughed happily.

Their younger sister was still young, so they just needed to watch her a little more.

If they were really deceived, they could just beat Mu Tongtong up a few more times.

But just as they calmed down, Mu Zhizhi made a fuss about wanting to go to the black market again.

"I want to sell crabs together! Buy delicious food!"

She had only read about the black market in books, but had never seen what a real black market was like.

This time, even Mu Churong wanted to refuse.

But he was afraid of making Mu Zhizhi cry, so he could only look at Mu Anze for help.

Mu Anze took a deep breath and tried his best to make his voice sound gentler. "Zhizhi, your brother will wake up at 2 o'clock tomorrow. At that time, you were still sleeping. What do you want? Tell him to bring it back for you, okay?"

"No! I want to buy it myself. I'll only know when I see it." Mu Zhizhi's small head shook like a rattle drum as her cheeks pouted angrily.

Mu Anze thought about letting Mu Guangyao go into the river alone at night and was also worried.

Finally looking at Mu Churong, he compromised and said, "That Zhizhi is obedient. Let your second brother carry you. If you are tired, go to sleep. Don't force yourself to hold on."

"Okay." Mu Zhizhi happily clapped her hands and ignored the wink of her brother and Liu.

They definitely wanted to promise her first and wait until she overslept at night before pretending not to wake up.

Of course, Mu Guangyao also thought about it. If his sister really woke up, he would let Mu Churong carry her and find a place to stay outside. He would not enter the black market and wander around.

It was not allowed to privately sell things now. It would be inconvenient if she was caught and brought away.

However, the price of the goods in the cooperative was too low. As long as there were more things and some connections, they were willing to take the risk and go to the black market to sell.

Nowadays, every adult ticket had a fixed amount and had to be distributed to their children.

Now that there were so many children, which family had enough tickets?

Moreover, the income these two years was not good. Not to mention the countryside, even the city could not buy anything with tickets and money.

The goods in the black market became especially popular.

But nowadays, it's useless to know how to earn money in the black market. You have to first have something.

There are pheasants, rabbits, wild ducks in the reeds... It's not like there aren't any.

But these things aren't that easy to get.

Although their village was leaning against the mountain, there were not only wolves in the mountain, but also tigers. Not to mention Mu Anze and the other two brothers, even the adults in the village did not dare to go up the mountain together.

Otherwise, the three brothers would not have gone to such lengths to know about the black market.

Mu Anze and the others saw that Mu Zhizhi had finally been coaxed and secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

When they returned home and just entered the courtyard, Old Lady Cui did not even bother to eat and started to stir up trouble.

"Second brother's house, this is how you discipline your children? I am their mistress. They actually dare to ignore me when I knock on the door."

Mu Guosheng held the bowl and looked at his mother with a troubled expression.

He already knew what had happened today. If he had not taken a dollar to treat his daughter in the city, he would not be in the mood to sit here and eat.

But a dollar was not a small amount, so he felt a little guilty.

"Mom, don't be angry. I will talk to a few guys later. Their sister suffered such a serious injury today, so they are not in a good mood either..." Mu Guosheng tried to persuade her in a weak voice.

When Old Lady Cui heard him, she immediately slammed the chopsticks on the table heavily. "A girl who pays for her loss. You must be crazy to treat her as a treasure. Now, she even instigated my three grandsons to compete with this milk of mine. This kind of star should be pressed into a urinal and drowned."

"Mother!"

"Milk!"

A few people from the second room of the Mu family shouted at the same time.

Old Lady Cui was shocked to the point of trembling, and then she angrily glared at them, "What are you doing? Do you think the second room wants to rebel?"

"Mother, Zhizhi is my daughter! Suxiang and I only have such a daughter. Her hair has been torn by Mu Tongtong, how can she not go and take a look?" Mu Guosheng did not dare to look directly at Old Lady Cui, but he still gritted his teeth. He told her the truth.

Old Lady Cui never would have thought that her second son, who had always been obedient, would actually say such words. Her pair of muddy eyes were so angry that they were two circles wide.

"Okay! You unfilial son, now you want to challenge me, this old lady, because of your daughter!"

"Mother, I am not. I am just afraid that something will happen to Zhizhi's body." Mu Guosheng shrank his neck and explained weakly.

However, Old Lady Cui's heart ached for that one dollar, and she hated girls who were willing to pay for their money. She was so angry that she reached out to hit Mu Guosheng.

After hitting him for a while, she was so tired that she could barely stand it. She stopped and said with a ferocious face, "I don't care. You have to return this one dollar to me. Our family's money will not be wasted on a girl's movie."

"Mother!" Mu Guosheng widened his eyes in shock and raised his voice by two degrees.

He had also earned this money by risking his life to earn it. Why couldn't he spend it on his daughter?

"Grandma, if you want to say this, I will smash Mu Tongtong's head into pieces today!" Mu Churong was so angry that he roared and rushed forward to grab Mu Tongtong.

Old Man Mu hurriedly protected his granddaughter who was still holding a bowl of food behind him.

"Second brother, are you crazy? Mu Tongtong is also your sister!"

"I don't have such a sister! I only have Zhizhi as my younger sister." Mu Churong straightened his neck and retorted.

But when he saw that his grandfather did not speak up for Zhizhi just now, and now he actually protected Mu Tongtong like this, a strong sense of despair rose in his heart.

"Dad! Why don't we split up! Usually, it doesn't matter how we brothers get bullied, but think about Mom. Think about Zhizhi, how long do you want them to be bullied like this?" Mu Churong's eyes were red as he looked at his father.
