After marrying sick Yangzi, I made my whole family rich

Chapter 6 Sold Her

When he came back, Lu He had already rested, but Xu Mengxiao didn't want to deal with him for the time being.

"Are you okay?" Lu Lizheng's eyes seemed to be gentler when he looked at her, "Don't run around until your body has recovered. It's not too late to go see your mother and the others after you recover from your injuries. I will keep an eye on them these days. They order.”

Xu Mengxiao quickly thanked her. Although it was difficult for Lu Lizheng, an upright official, to intervene in household affairs and not interfere too much, it was better than nothing. She had to think of ways to gain more confidence.

In addition to making good friends with the Lu family and preparing to leave the Xu family in the future, she also wanted to earn more money to settle down with her family.

There are a lot of valuable things in the space, and they can be sold for a lot of money if you take them out casually, but they have never been passed through the public and their origins are unknown, which can easily arouse suspicion.

Xu Mengxiao decided to go back to the mountains and fields to look for an honest way to make money.

Early the next morning, she got up and boiled a pot of hot water. Even if he was dissatisfied with her, Lu Hai couldn't say anything when he saw that she was so busy that her feet didn't touch the floor.

But if she wanted to be with her eldest brother, that would be too fanciful!
He picked up the hoe and said, "Don't go near his house."

Xu Mengxiao couldn't wait to do it, and continued working in the stove without raising her head. Lu Hai wanted to say something, but his father called out.

The father and son took their farm tools and went to the fields. It was the scorching summer heat, and many fields in the fields were dry and cracked.

Lu Li was touching the shriveled ears of rice when he saw that many of the rice seedlings in other fields were turning yellow, and even some of the rice seedlings that had not been taken care of diligently were dead.

"It's getting hotter and hotter. It hasn't rained for more than a month. I'm afraid the harvest this year will be bad again!"

Last year they had a poor harvest due to drought and heavy field taxes, and could barely make ends meet. As a result, this year looks even worse than last year.

Thinking about the money spent to marry Xu Ruyi and the debt of more than 20 taels, Lu He would also need a lot of money for medical treatment and medicine. Both father and son looked sad.

In the Lu family, a fat woman sneaked around outside the wall for a while. When she saw Xu Mengxiao coming out of the kitchen with a piece of burning firewood and extinguishing it, she immediately lowered her throat.

"You bitch! What are you doing here? Why don't you come back and work for me!"

Xu Mengxiao was very vigilant and noticed her as soon as she appeared outside, but pretended not to hear and continued to do what she was supposed to do.

Zhou was so angry that she pulled out the smelly cloth shoes from her feet and hit her on the head viciously.

Xu Mengxiao, however, seemed to have eyes behind his back, he just managed to avoid it, and looked at the shoes that fell on the ground in surprise, as if they came out of nowhere, and threw them directly into the stove. Firewood burning.

Mrs. Zhou was so angry that she wasn't angry to death!

"Oh, you're so stupid, let me forget it. I've never seen anyone so stupid! You bitch, let's see if I don't kill you!"

Zhou gritted her teeth and looked around, about to take Lu Lizheng out when she wasn't at home.

As soon as he reached the door of Lu's house, he heard a voice coming from not far away, and he was so frightened that he ran away immediately.

I ran too fast and accidentally kicked a stone, which tore off half of my thumbnail. I screamed out in pain, and I hated Xu Mengxiao even more and my teeth started to itch!
Xu Mengxiao heard the shouting outside, opened the courtyard door, and looked at the visitor in surprise.

"Why are you a girl!" The Lu clan members looked at her displeased, with disgust in their eyes. They pushed her away rudely and walked towards the main room.

When the sun was high in the sky, Lu Lizheng and Lu Hai came back from the fields and were startled when they saw Lu He sitting in the main room.

"Why are you down? Go back and rest."

"I'm much better." Lu He shook his head. "Second uncle, since your Lu He has recovered, is it time to pay back the money you owe us? The harvest is not good this year, and our life is not easy either. We are almost out of rice to cook."

"Lu He has been ill for such a long time. How can I say that he will get better?" Lu Li looked embarrassed. "Everyone, please be accommodating for a while. When I get the money back from the Xu family, I can return some to you."

"I don't know if the Xu family will pay back the money in the Year of the Monkey or the Horse. I think it's better to sell this deceitful Xu family girl!"

Xu Mengxiao was serving tea and pouring water when he was suddenly pointed out by a woman in a stern voice, thinking that Xu Ruyi had offended you, why should you take it out on me.

"I can't sell it for a lot of money." She suddenly said with "panic".

Lu He raised his head and glanced at her. It seemed like that was the case, but he always felt that something was wrong.

"Hmph, you have to sell it for a penny. Second, you won't have the money to pay us back, but you will have the money to raise another girl, right? There are a lot of girls in my house clamoring for food, so why not come to your house?"

"Yeah, my family can't afford to support them anymore. It doesn't matter if my second uncle can't pay back the money for a while. Let my three children come to your house for dinner, and I'll be accommodating for a while!"

A group of people were making a noise, Lu Li was frowning, and Lu Hai was getting angry, thinking that he could go to the dock in the town to carry big bags and do hard work.

At this time, Lu He put down his cup. There was a slight movement, and he couldn't help coughing, and everyone calmed down.

"Don't worry, uncles and aunts, I will pay you back the money I owe you as soon as possible, as little as ten days or as much as half a month." His voice was deep and had the power to convince people.

When everyone came to their senses, they felt something was wrong again. It was not the sick man who should have said these words!
Xu Mengxiao spoke up at the right time, "My father helped my stepsisters open a gouache shop in the town. Maybe I have money..."

She seemed to mention it casually, but everyone in the Lu family was shocked, "The Xu family actually has money to open a shop in the town?!"

Lu Lizheng also frowned, "Xiao Yatou, please tell me carefully, where is the shop and what's the situation like?"

Xu Mengxiao hesitated as if he couldn't explain what was going on, and was a little frightened and timid, but everyone who needed to be guided listened to the information that needed to be revealed.

When she finished speaking, she saw the thin man looking at her again, and she hid behind Lu Hai beside her.

But Lu Hai had no idea what she was thinking, and was the first to be encouraged, "Great! If you want money, come with me to the town and see what's going on. The Xu family is so shameless!"

Lu Li was stopping him, "Don't be impulsive. This matter needs to be discussed carefully, so as not to embarrass our Yao Yucun and Lu family outside."

But now that I have money to open a shop, I can’t run away after paying back the money this time!

At noon, Xu Mengxiao cooked rice. Lu Hai picked half a basket of vegetables from the vegetable garden and repeatedly told her, "Save what you need and don't spend too much."

Xu Mengxiao seriously suspected that he didn't know the portions at all. This amount was only enough for the Lu family to eat themselves. There were still three or four tribesmen left in the main room to discuss how to get the money back. They probably also wanted to stay and eat.

But precisely because she didn’t count, she had room to play.

Don’t you want to sell her? Don’t you think she is an eyesore?

Xu Mengxiao looked at the beans, loofah and eggplant in the basket, smiled slightly, and as soon as she touched the basket with her hand, twice the amount came out.

Every one of them is fresh and juicy, and they are all organic vegetables that she cultivated with several agricultural professors at the base.
