Chapter 499 Don’t offend anyone but the gangsters
"Chen Li, what bad things have you done?"
"You'd better explain yourself clearly, otherwise I won't sell you this firewood!" Lin Jiao stepped forward and said.
"Shh! Shhhhhh!"
Chen Li was so frightened that he immediately made a gesture to keep quiet.
Fortunately, at this time, all the young and middle-aged men in the village were going up the mountain, and the woman who had delivered lunch to the fields had not returned yet.
There was no one on the village road.
Chen Li relaxed and said nonchalantly.
"What bad things could I have done? Even my wife asked me to go up the mountain to chop firewood, and I didn't want to go!"
"Two bundles of firewood this big for only fifty cents? When I'm lucky, I can win ten bundles in an afternoon!"
"Isn't it a waste of talent to ask me to chop wood?"
"Huh?!" Chen Hui remembered a bet he made a long time ago.
Chen Li didn't understand at first, but after thinking for a while he finally understood.
He immediately offered a favor and said, "Chen Hui, I helped you a lot in demolishing and building your house! Some things hurt others and do not benefit yourself, so forget it."
Considering that Chen Li has been quite honest recently.
He never caused any trouble even though my family ran a shop.
Chen Hui pretended to be stupid again and asked in confusion: "Ah? What are you talking about? Something that harms others and does not benefit yourself?"
guessed wrong?
Chen Li laughed out loud, "Nothing, nothing, are you going to sell this firewood or not?"
"You're lucky today. I just happened to sell a little more."
"Take two bundles and go. Fifty cents," said Chen Hui.
Chen Li immediately took out fifty cents and handed it to Chen Hui.
He carried two bundles of firewood back to his home.
He came out, closed the door, and happily went out of the village.
"Why did you sell him out? You should have let him go up the mountain by himself, or if he didn't get any firewood, he could have fought with Li A Lian at home at night!" Lin Jiao said.
"We run a store here, so we should not offend hooligans."
"It's rare that the old couple have been so kind recently. It's no big deal to help him carry two bundles of firewood!"
After Chen Hui finished speaking, he rode away on his bike.
Lin Jiao always felt something was strange.
It took me a while to realize: Was this kid teaching me a lesson?!
I will move all my things back to my new house only after I come back from my voyage.
An Wenjing is still living in Wu Jinhua's house these two days.
After Chen Hui replenished the firewood that Wu Jinhua had embezzled, he moved two more bundles and threw them into the stove.
After a few rounds, only two bundles were left to move back to the new house.
Wu Shuisheng saw it and came over to ask, "Chen Hui, you went all the way to the town and only got this little stuff!"
"Where?! When I came back just now, the bucket was full!"
"My mother-in-law's family gave me a little, and Chen Li bought two more bundles and took them away, and then Grandma Jinhua gave me some more."
"Two bundles can last for many days. I'll buy more when the time comes."
As Chen Hui explained the situation, he grabbed a towel and wiped the sweat off his head and face.
Looking at the three cups on the table in the hall, he asked loudly, "Wife, which one is your cup?"
"The one with the lightest red flowers!"
"Okay, I know."
Chen Hui's unfinished words got stuck in his throat.
The three enamel cups in front of you, each with red flowers and green leaves printed on it, aren't they exactly the same?
"By the way, Brother Chen Hui, I just ran into the clerk!"
"He said the family hadn't paid the electricity bill this month, so I paid it for him."
An Wenjing walked over while talking.
Seeing Chen Hui struggling with the cups, he took a look and picked up one of them, "This is it! Look, isn't its color lighter than the other two?" Chen Hui put the cup back and took a look, "How is it lighter? Aren't they all the same?"
"Isn't this color obviously lighter than the other two?" An Wenjing asked puzzled.
Chen Hui raised his head and drank the remaining tea in the cup, then added water to the other two cups, covered them with lids, and said, "Turn around!"
"Oh!" An Wenjing didn't understand what was going on, but she still turned around cooperatively.
Chen Hui turned the cup around and around, changing its positions in an illogical manner.
In the end, he couldn't tell which was which anymore, and waved to An Wenjing to turn back.
Pointing at the cup on the table, he said, "Look which one is your cup? Don't touch it!"
An Wenjing chuckled, reached out to pick up the one on the far right, opened the lid and showed it to Chen Hui.
"Ah, you can really tell the difference?" Chen Hui was convinced.
"They are really different! Isn't it obvious?" An Wenjing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"I can't tell anyway."
Chen Hui smiled bitterly and shook his head, then poured himself another glass of water and drank it.
"It's normal. Your aunt can see it. I just can't understand it."
Wu Shuisheng walked over, picked up the two cups and looked up. The one with the mark on the bottom was his.
"Uncle's method is still suitable for me!" Chen Hui nodded.
After drinking tea, several people cleaned up the miscellaneous things on the second floor.
Chen Huihong carefully wiped the painted wooden floor clean with a towel.
When the sunlight outside became milder, Jiang Houfa brought Huang Miao over, pulling a tricycle full of boards.
After unloading all the things from the tricycle, the master and apprentice went back to move them again.
"Chen Hui, the largest cabinet has been modified for you."
"I haven't gotten around to getting the glass yet. I need to install the cabinet and then measure the dimensions. You're going to put it downstairs, right?"
Jiang Houfa asked while looking at a pile of boards.
"Oh, yes, yes! Just put it here when the time comes!" Chen Hui said, pointing from the hall to the kitchen.
"I understand!" Jiang Houfa said.
Move some of it aside.
He called Huang Miao to help move all the remaining materials upstairs.
"Master Jiang, let's move together. You can make other preparations first." Chen Huihong said.
Jiang Houfa laughed out loud when he heard this and complained to Chen Huihong: "That kid Chen Hui, he ran away halfway when I asked him for help last time."
"With his small body, he can't even move these. What if he twists his leg?"
"Don't ask him to do the work next time. If you have any problems, come to us. We, with our old bodies, are capable of doing the work." Chen Huihong said with a smile.
There was an empty room of moderate size on the second floor, and several people worked together to move things upstairs in batches.
Jiang Houfa started to work on the cabinet, and Huang Miao helped him.
Chen Huihong and Wu Shuisheng also came to help.
Seeing that there was nothing to do, An Wenjing went back to Wu Jinhua's house to prepare for class while it was still daylight.
After all, it costs money to light the lights at night!
Chen Hui had nothing to do, so he took a walk around the house.
I ran back to my store and bought a notebook, a pencil and an eraser.
I returned to the new house and started writing and drawing on the space between the living room and the kitchen where the display cabinet will be placed in the future.
"Chen Hui, what are you painting?" Wu Shuisheng came down to pour water for Jiang Houfa and asked casually when he saw it.
"magic weapon!"
"Magic weapon? Are you kidding me?"
"Really! This magic weapon I drew can turn treasure into treasure, making Ganoderma lucidum more valuable."
