Chapter 65
65 Shen Yao, Awesome!
When Ji Zhao followed Zhao Lanhua to the river, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
At least half of the old grannies and wives in the village came. They formed teams in twos and threes and picked up snails together.
“Mother? What’s going on?” Ji Zhao gently tugged at Zhao Lanhua’s sleeve and asked softly.
Generally speaking, the busiest place at this hour should be the street entrance!
Why did everyone come to pick up snails?
“Your father and Third Brother went to the village chief’s house early in the morning.” Zhao Lanhua lowered her voice and explained with a smile, “Sanlang directly told the village chief that Dalang was entrusted by someone to collect snails. The price of buying them is five copper coins per catty.”
“Five coins?” Ji Zhao’s eyes almost popped out!
Shen Yao, awesome!
He directly cut the purchase price in half!
“Come, let’s stop chatting and go collect snails! Look at this situation. I wonder if we can collect a catty this morning~” Zhao Lanhua hurriedly pulled Ji Zhao to the river.
“Ah Tao, don’t go into the water.” Zhao Lanhua took off the basket on her back and said with a smile, “The water in the river is still a little cold.”
“Mother, let me do it.” Ji Zhao quickly stopped Zhao Lanhua, who was about to take off her shoes.
“No, I’ll do it!” Zhao Lanhua quickly shook her head. “Anyway, listen to me!”
Ji Zhao felt a warmth in her heart, but she still decided to accompany her mother-in-law to pick up snails.
Fifteen minutes later, Zhao Lanhua made a surprising discovery!
When Ji Zhao was standing beside her, she would always be able to pick up big and plump snails!
Once she was a little far away from Ji Zhao, she would not gain anything!
She wasn’t the only one. Everyone else was the same.
As long as one was close to Ah Tao, they would always be able to pick up big and good snails.
“Ah Tao, let’s go home!” Zhao Lanhua suppressed the shock in her heart and hurriedly pulled Ah Tao ashore.
“Mother, aren’t we going to pick up more snails?” Ji Zhao, who was completely unaware of all of this, blinked in confusion.
“No.” Zhao Lanhua smiled and shook her head. “I’m worried about your second sister-in-law being alone at home. Let’s go back first!”
Before the others discovered the secret, Zhao Lanhua hurriedly pulled Ji Zhao home.
“Mother? Are you alright?” Ji Zhao asked worriedly when she saw that she was out of breath.
“Ah Tao, did you notice that your luck is exceptionally good?” Zhao Lanhua asked gently after calming down.
“Yes.” Ji Zhao smiled shyly. “I also think that I’m quite lucky. Mother, you’re very good to me, and Eldest Sister-in-law and Second Sister-in-law also take good care of me. It’s indeed my luck to be able to marry into the Shen family!”
“Silly Ah Tao, that’s not what I meant.” Zhao Lanhua scratched her head anxiously. After thinking about it for a long time, she did not know how to explain. “It’s just that don’t you think your luck is too good? It’s even a little strange?”
“When you bumped into the pheasant fighting on the mountain that day, Sister Guihua and I were also on the mountain, but we didn’t gain anything. Also, when you went to the river to get water, you just casually muttered that it would be good if there were wild duck eggs. Then, when you went for the second time, you really picked up wild duck eggs. Also, Third Brother said that the pen you casually chose was worth a thousand gold.”
“Mother, isn’t it good that I’m lucky?” Ji Zhao was even more confused.
Zhao Lanhua pondered for a moment before slowly saying, “Ah Tao, I’m not saying that it’s a bad thing for you to be lucky, but I’m older than you. I understand that there’s no such thing as luck in this world for no reason. I’m just worried that if you’re so lucky, there will be drawbacks elsewhere.”
When the water was full, it would overflow, when there was too much gain, there would be loss. If a person’s luck was too good, would it have some bad effects?
This was what Zhao Lanhua was most worried about.
