Chapter 19 A Fool is a Fool

"Let's go, Er Mazi, we still need to sign the contract."

Er Zhu naturally saw Wang Feng's furious expression, but he ignored it and urged Wang Er Mazi to go back.

In just a few minutes, the situation had reversed so drastically!

Wang Er Mazi looked at Wang Feng, who was gnashing his teeth in anger, and then at the foolish Er Zhu.

Suddenly, he had a feeling!

Er Zhu was no longer foolish!

"Right, what were you saying just now?"

As Wang Er Mazi was shocked, he suddenly remembered what Er Zhu had just said.

"Sign the contract! What if you come back to cause trouble midway after seeing me make money?"

Er Zhu glanced at Wang Er Mazi as if he were an idiot, pushing him while explaining.

How could he not know Wang Er Mazi's little schemes?

The reason this guy rented the land to him, besides the price, was that he thought Er Zhu was both foolish and poor!

Too bad, that was his past self!

"Oh, alright!"

A hint of surprise flashed in Wang Er Mazi's eyes. He nodded stupidly, his heart beginning to race.

For some reason, he always had the illusion that Er Zhu could see through his thoughts!

This feeling was too terrifying!

Watching Wang Er Mazi and Er Zhu gradually walk away, Wang Feng's anger burned even hotter!

Today's events had made her lose all face, and she would never let this country bumpkin off!

Not long after, Er Zhu returned home with the contract. As soon as he entered the gate, Li Mei, with a worried expression, rushed to meet him:

"How was it? Did everything go smoothly? Were you bullied?"

As Li Mei spoke, she carefully examined Er Zhu, afraid of missing any detail.

"Don't worry, Sister Mei, I'm fine."

Seeing Li Mei's anxious look, a warm current flowed into Er Zhu's heart. He said this while handing the contract to Li Mei.

"Hurry up and make dinner. After eating, I still need to go out and rent more land."

Li Mei happily and excitedly flipped through the contract, not even noticing Er Zhu pushing her forward.

Suddenly, she discovered something strange:

Er Zhu could actually write his own name!

How was this possible?

They had never taught Er Zhu to read or write!

"Er Zhu, you..."

Li Mei was both shocked and delighted. Just as Er Zhu was pushing her towards home, she suddenly turned her head.

But the moment she turned her head, the words she wanted to say were abruptly swallowed!

Because at this moment, her lips were only 0.01 millimeters away from Er Zhu's lips!

It was no exaggeration to say that as long as she moved her lips, then...

*Swish!*

Thinking of this, Li Mei's face instantly turned as red as a ripe apple, and she bashfully lowered her head.

At this moment, Er Zhu also stood there stiffly.

If one looked closely, they could see a blush on his face!

Too close!

So close that he could not only feel Li Mei's sweet breath but also vaguely see a beautiful landscape leading to the depths!

Looking at the "V" shaped neckline of Li Mei's chest, Er Zhu swallowed.

At the same time, he felt a heat surge through his body, and sweat broke out on his forehead without him realizing it.

The two looked at each other affectionately, and the atmosphere in the air kept rising!

"Cluck cluck cluck!"

Just then, the crowing of a rooster not far away brought the two back to reality.

Er Zhu jolted and quickly retreated a few steps. Li Mei, with a shy face, turned her head and ran towards the house.

It was so close!

If it weren't for that crowing, they would have now...

Li Mei shook her head vigorously, trying to shake off the chaotic thoughts in her mind.

As for Er Zhu, he just stood there foolishly smiling, as if he were still reminiscing about that suggestive scene, unwilling to wake up!

The meal was awkward. Li Mei didn't ask about signing the contract again, and Er Zhu didn't mention his plans.

After lunch, Er Zhu continued to search for land in the fields.

He was planning to do something big, and one plot of land was not enough!

In the blink of an eye, two hours passed. Not only did Er Zhu not find suitable land, but he also encountered many villagers.

"Er Zhu, what are you wandering around in this hot weather for?"

Sun Lao Da, the son of Sun Er Niang, carrying two buckets of water, wiped the sweat from his forehead and smiled at Er Zhu.

The words sounded like concern for Er Zhu, but Er Zhu knew he was mocking him!

As expected, he was the good son of the big-mouthed Sun Er Niang, always making fun of people!

"Heh heh, I won't tell you!"

Er Zhu couldn't be bothered with Sun Lao Da. He scratched the back of his head and put on his signature silly smile.

"Pfft... a fool is a fool!"

Seeing Er Zhu's foolishness, Sun Lao Da couldn't help but laugh out loud. After a sarcastic remark, he walked home.

His mother had been saying for the past two days that Er Zhu wasn't foolish anymore, but in his opinion, Er Zhu was still the same fool as before!

Even, he was more foolish than before!

Er Zhu didn't pay attention to Sun Lao Da. He looked around at the surrounding land and was about to leave when he suddenly saw a piece of wasteland diagonally across.

That piece of land belonged to Sun Lao Die's family at the east end of the village. Because it was all loose and breathable sandy soil, it had been abandoned all along.

But this kind of land was a treasure to Er Zhu!

Because the ginseng he wanted to plant best grew in this kind of soil!

Thinking of this, Er Zhu didn't delay and ran directly to Sun Lao Die's house.

Sun Lao Da, who had not yet reached home, saw Er Zhu rushing away and was a little curious. He followed Er Zhu with his pole.

So anxious, I wonder what this fool is up to again!

"Is Sun Lao Die at home?"

Er Zhu a streak of smoke to Sun Lao Die's house. He stood at the door and shouted into the house.

Sun Lao Die, who was about to take a nap, heard someone calling his name at the door and looked out the window.

But when he saw Er Zhu, his old eyes became a little foolish!

Why was Er Zhu looking for him?

Although they lived in the same village, they had always kept to themselves. Why was this fool looking for him?

"Sun Lao Die, I have something to tell you, come out for a moment!"

Just as Sun Lao Die was confused, Er Zhu spoke again.

But this time, his words were clearly different from the last time, with a hint of urgency in his tone.

Not far away, Sun Lao Da panted, put down his pole, and crouched in a corner, staring at Er Zhu.

Why was this fool going to Sun Lao Die's house?

Sun Lao Die's house, like Li Mei's, was as poor as it could be...

A few minutes passed, and Sun Lao Die still hadn't come out. Er Zhu's voice, however, attracted quite a few villagers.

Some leaned against the wall, some peeked over Sun's courtyard wall, looking like they were waiting to watch a show.
