Chapter 161 Uncle, I was wrong!

The brigade leader pursed his lips and sniffed pitifully: he really didn't want to take his unlucky brothers to the old, cramped house anymore.

Li Cuie rolled her eyes in annoyance, walked to the stable, let go of her hand, pointed at the wooden wall of the stable, and shouted sharply: "You two stand properly for me."

The captain and Bai Nuo immediately stood obediently against the wall, their heads slightly lowered, looking incredibly well-behaved.

"Nono, I heard..." Wei Jia suddenly came around from the corridor near the animal husbandry team, and upon seeing the scene before her, she paused, forced a smile, and said awkwardly, "Hehe, hehe, um... you guys are busy, I, I'll come back later..."

"You come over here too!" Li Cuie glared at her youngest daughter, pointing to the empty seat on the other side of the brigade leader.

Wei Jia pouted and sighed softly. Why was she so unlucky? She just wanted to come over and gossip with her sister, but she got caught by her mother.

"Xiao Weijia, I haven't settled accounts with you yet. Whose five cents was that yesterday? You're really something else. Hiding money is one thing, but hiding it behind the stove is another. Aren't you afraid it might accidentally set on fire one day?"

“That’s not mine, why would I need to hide money!” Wei Jia lowered her head, glanced cautiously at her father, and then said, “Mom, you don’t need my pocket money. My grandpa gives me money to spend occasionally. Why would I need to hide that fifty cents?”

Whose is that?

Wei Jia silently turned her head, her gaze passing over Wei Zhongping and landing on Bai Nuo.

Bai Nuo: "...Why are you looking at me? That's even less likely to be mine."

"Whose is that?" Wei Jia asked Bai Nuo curiously.

Bai Nuo shook her head: "I don't know either, I just heard... I heard that someone hid 50 cents behind Auntie's kitchen stove!"

I can't sell Little Tiger, otherwise that kid won't play with me anymore!

The captain looked at Bai Nuo curiously: "Why is someone telling you this? Besides, that fifty cents wasn't mine. I spent all the fifty cents I hid last week, have you forgotten?"

"How would I know?" Bai Nuo looked at the captain with a puzzled expression.

"You silly girl, when you were off last week, didn't I ask you to bring me back a pack of cigarettes from the county? It was exactly fifty cents."

Bai Nuo blinked his eyes with a silly look on his face, then looked like he suddenly realized something: "Oh right, Uncle, you said you only had 50 cents left, and asked me to secretly bring you a pack of cigarettes, and not let anyone see it. I also said I would buy you more so that you wouldn't run out of cigarettes for a week, but you said you didn't need to, and that you couldn't hide too many."

"Huh? There's such a thing? Why didn't you tell me, Dad?" Wei Jia leaned on her father's arm and peeked out to chat with her father and Bai Nuo.

The brigade leader rolled his eyes: "Your mouth is like a sieve. If I asked you to buy me cigarettes, you would have to tell your mother that very night, 'Do I still need that pack of cigarettes?' Luckily, your sister went to the county, so I asked her to bring some back for me."

"Yes, I even hid it in my pocket, and secretly gave it to Uncle at the stable the next day!" Bai Nuo said obediently.

The three of them leaned against the wooden wall of the stable, and the conversation drifted further and further off track until Bai Nuo's expression suddenly froze...

"Sister, Uncle, have we forgotten something...?"

"..."

"..."

Li Cuie crossed her arms, tilted her head, shook her leg, and smiled at the three men in front of her. Behind her stood a tall horse. Hei Feng's gaze towards the three men and two children carried a hint of human compassion.

"Damn it, they've spilled the beans!"

In the afternoon, as Fang Meng passed by the peanut field, he suddenly stopped, tilted his head, and frowned slightly, looking at the little girl who was bending over and pulling weeds in the field with a puzzled expression.

The little girl was next to the brigade leader's silly daughter.

Oh, and on the other side, the team leader was also huffing and puffing as he pulled weeds...

Meanwhile, Hei Feng was leisurely basking in the sun on the edge of the field, while the team leader's wife sat on a small stool next to him, sipping water from a large tea mug.

The key point is... if he remembers correctly, wasn't this piece of land the responsibility of the brigade leader's aunt?
