Chapter 75
These words were to praise Chen Xing's eloquence and beauty, but to the ears of the parties and Mrs. Wang, they were not so pleasant.

Chen Xingyan didn't recognize this aunt, so naturally he didn't want to say much. He just smiled politely and gave up his seat.

Lu Xinghua is a good talker, even after complimenting her new wife a few words, she only said that she is a countryman and the family life is not easy, so she didn't prepare any valuable things, but just took a small basket of dates from home , I also hope that my niece and daughter-in-law will not dislike her.

Such simplicity made Chen Xingyan have a good impression of her.

But Mrs. Wang just said politely: "Come here, what else do you bring! There is nothing to entertain at home, but these hawthorn cakes are ready-made and homemade. You can try it."

Chen Xingyan didn't have a good impression of Mrs. Lu. Although he was a little curious about this aunt who appeared out of nowhere, he couldn't see it on the surface.

After eating a few pieces of cakes and drinking another bowl of sugar water, Lu Xinghua poured out the bitter water again and again.

It's just that the weather is going to be cold. I heard that Yao slaves have been conscripted to their town again this time. Her son is now old enough to go to a family. I heard that the city wall is going to be built, which is hard work, etc. .

Inside and outside the words, they are nothing more than talking about how difficult it is for their own family and how wronged they are.

Regarding this, Chen Xingyan only acted as a very quiet listener, not interjecting a word.

In the eyes of Mrs. Lu, her reaction like this was pretending to be stupid.

The old lady tried to get mad several times, but was stopped by Lu Xinghua.

"My niece and daughter-in-law, I won't hide it from you. When I went back to my mother's house this time, I originally wanted to borrow some money so that the man in the family could redeem the slavery."

Naturally, this Yao slave can also be redeemed with money, but what kind of family is divided, and what kind of Yao slave is scored.

This year it was just to build the city wall and reinforce it. They are not a border gate here, so naturally it is not a big deal, so Lu Xinghua felt that she could go or not, so she thought about getting money.

"Originally, I was thinking of borrowing from my brothers to make a turnaround, but Wufu will end next year, and life at home is not easy, and I have nothing to do, so I came here cheeky."

Lu Xinghua wiped away her tears, then glanced at the new daughter-in-law out of the corner of her eye, and said more vigorously: "It stands to reason that this is the first time we meet, as an elder, I really shouldn't say this, but The old ones and the young ones in the family, I can't help it!"

After speaking, he cried even more sadly.

Wang was a little depressed.

You said that you recognized your relatives even if you came to recognize your relatives, but why are you crying?
Those who didn't know it thought that they had been wronged so much here!

"Okay, Xinghua, don't cry. Is there anything you can't talk about? This year's Yao service is not heavy, and your son is also old. I've heard what Daxiong said, and it's only half a month. Gritting your teeth It’s over, why do you have to redeem with money?”

Lu Xinghua, who was crying vigorously, looked slightly stiff, "Sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Although my son is old enough, he has been weak since he was a child. He has been sick every winter this year, and he has never had a happy life. It’s winter. Let’s talk about the guy in my family, he went to serve Yao’s labor the year before last, but he was lying in bed for a month after he came back.”

Chen Xingyan remained silent.

The Yao service in Gaoyang County is not heavy.

Because it is not a frontier fortress, and the country has been peaceful in the past few years, and there is no civil unrest or rebellion, so there are generally not many fortifications.

And even if there is, it is generally not too hard.

The year before last may have been digging canals, and it was cold in winter, so it is normal for this person to be a little bit unbearable.

No way, in this era, on this condition.

Lu Xinghua said again: "Last year it was your town's turn to go to the Yao service. Isn't your calf also sick? Your family has a big bear serving as a soldier outside, so naturally you don't need to worry about it. But our family is different, the head of the family This body is not very good, if it goes away, I can't stand it anymore, if it really disappears, how do you think our wives will live in the future!"

This is obviously something that is still unknown, now that she said it, it seems that her man is about to die.

The corners of Chen Xingyan's mouth twitched. Looking at Lu Xinghua who was crying more and more sadly, he just felt that this woman's ability to speak and express is something that not everyone can learn.

In fact, after all, Lu Xinghua had only one purpose: to borrow money!

Chen Xingyan didn't know her well, and it was only the first time meeting her today. Although he came here with the title of Da Xiong's aunt, Chen Xingyan really didn't like the eldest son of that family. The little impression he had of this aunt before, It's all gone now.

"Mother, the following medicinal materials haven't been processed yet, don't delay the delivery any longer, I'll go and have a look."

Chen Xingyan was really too lazy to deal with this kind of person. The most important thing was that she didn't know what kind of person this Lu Xinghua was, so it was better to avoid him first.

Lu Xinghua wanted to stop her, but Chen Xingyan didn't give her a chance to speak.

"By the way, mother, since my aunt brought a gift, let Calamus clear out the basket for a while, and put some hawthorn cakes and Ruyi silk in it, and some walnuts brought back by Da Xiong yesterday, and put them in my aunt's basket too." Some."

Ruyisi is the name of the hawthorn bar, and it sounds tall when you hear it.

"Okay, I'll let Calamus do it later, you go and do it first."

Lu Xinghua was choked there, but she was quite considerate in terms of etiquette, and didn't let you go back with an empty basket.

Unfavorable start, naturally Lu Xinghua will not let go so easily.

When Lu Daxiong came back and found out about this, he just sneered and said, "She is a greedy person who can never get enough to feed her. If I lend her one tael of silver this time, she will dare to ask you to borrow ten taels next time. Come back, maybe you can remember all your property."

Chen Xingyan was startled, "No way? Is she really so greedy?"

Lu Daxiong sneered and said: "You don't know what kind of temperament she is. You are right to avoid her today. My eldest aunt is a typical master who can climb up a pole. Do you believe her?" Don't believe that if you lend her money on the front foot, she will be able to make other requests on the back foot?"

Chen Xingyan thought of Lu Xinghua who was crying and devoted himself during the day, and felt that he was no match in this regard.

It is better to listen to the big bear and avoid it.

It's just that Chen Xingyan deliberately avoided this difficult aunt, but she insisted on sticking to her, so there was no other way.

After all, if the goal is not achieved, it will always be entangled again.

"Hey, it's a coincidence that I came here today. I smelled the fragrance as soon as I entered the yard. Auntie, is this stewed chicken or stewed chicken? This is too fragrant!"

 Remind the girls who are saving articles, this article is about to enter V, and it will also be inverted V, so don't save anymore, hurry up and catch up with our big bears and stars.
