Fertile land

Chapter 42

"Sister, sister, here is what you want. Do you want to buy it?"

The maid looked at her suspiciously, this fat woman who looked suspicious.

Look at her wearing patched linen clothes. Does she have a bird's nest?

She wondered if her conversation with the waiter just now was overheard!
Xiuxiu has stayed in the big house for a long time and has formed a habit of doubting, analyzing, and thinking more about everything...

If she really had bird's nests, why didn't she sell them directly to the drug store just now?It looks like the waiter won’t refuse...

Do you have to wait until she needs to buy something urgently before you tell her?Maybe he wanted to defraud her of her money...

He shook the banknote in his hand that was pawned with the lady's only hosta.

The life of her young lady is hard enough, but this money was left behind by her as a little jewelry before she left the palace, for emergency use in her private house...

In order to protect the fetus, this is all that is left of all the belongings.

"Sister, don't joke with Xiuxiu, Xiuxiu is very busy... I don't have time to play with you!"

Xiuxiu said angrily.

After saying that, he ignored her and looked anxiously at the pedestrians coming in outside the door...

Or maybe this fat woman has some mental problem...

"Oh, you girl, what I told you is true."

Xiuxiu turned her head and ignored her.

"Look...what is this?"

Luo Zhi'er took out the bird's nest bag she had been hiding in her arms and shook it, but luckily she couldn't see it even though she was so fat!

In fact, this thing doesn't seem to be much, just a small package.

The bubbles will rise, and there will still be a lot of them...

Xiuxiu's attention was called back. What was she doing?
"What is this? Do you really have it?"

I saw her take out the cloth bag and shake it.

Seeing her suspicious eyes, Luo Zhi'er had no choice but to see that this little girl was so defensive, so he opened a small opening and let her take a look.

There is indeed something milky inside.

It's really a bird's nest.

Xiuxiu's eyes showed excitement, and she curiously came closer to take it to see what it was like!
Luo Zhi'er immediately closed the bag and looked around.

She seemed to have seen Gou Sheng's mother flash past just now, and she was gone in the blink of an eye.

Maybe she was dazzled, but anyway, she was afraid that there were acquaintances from Zhao Licun in this drug store... It would not be good if she was seen causing trouble!

"I didn't lie to you, did I?"

"Follow me to find a secluded area near the toilet in the back, pay with one hand, and deliver the goods with the other! How about that?"

"Are you really saying this is a bird's nest? You...can't be a fake, can you?"

"Sister, it's more real than real gold, and it's the best bird's nest. You can't even buy it at a high price in the market!"

"OK then!"

Xiuxiu bit down on her back groove, her heart skipped a beat, and she followed her from the back door passage to the toilet...

Walking to a secluded and sparsely populated area at the back, there was a big tree at the corner of the alley, "Okay, that's it!"

"Here, here are all the bird's nests. I weighed them at home this morning. They weigh a total of two kilograms and two taels!"

She took a piece to her and Xiuxiu took it and looked at it. The material was very good.

After inspecting the goods, I wrapped the bag again just in case!

"Sister, just give me 66 taels of silver!"

"What? 66 taels? Are you crazy? It's so expensive?" Xiuxiu looked like she was about to cry but had no tears...

"What? Aren't you a maid in some house? Don't you know the price of bird's nest? You can't even get 66 taels?"

She deliberately inquired about the price in the morning at the market. It was said that this thing was too rare in the town, so she had to go to the drug store to buy the real thing...

"No, sister, can you be kind and sell me this bird's nest at a cheaper price?"

Xiu Xiu bit her lips and said with an embarrassed look.

"How can that be done? I almost lost my life before picking this up... This is a top-quality bird's nest. Selling it for 200 taels is not an exaggeration..."

"Why don't you give us 60 taels and we'll make the deal at a fixed price?"

She suddenly lost six taels. She was so cruel that she didn't bother to talk to her...it was quite difficult to look at her...

"Sister, I don't have that much money..."

Luo Zhi'er said quickly,

"Sister, the average bird's nest costs 60 taels per gram. This is the best. I only charge you [-] taels, which is enough!"

Xiuxiu's face turned pale, "I know, but..."

"Forget it, since you don't want to buy it, I'll go back to another drug store and sell it..."

"I don't have to worry about selling. It's just an unfortunate coincidence that I'm too fat and too tired to run away today. Otherwise, how could I still have your share?"

Luo Zhi'er said domineeringly.

Seeing her determination, the maid suddenly panicked and lost her mind. When she was unprepared, she knelt down and hugged her legs.
"Sister, please... I can't help it..." As she said this, she started crying aggrievedly, as if she had bullied her...

"Ah, this, sister, you are not doing business with integrity, why should you kneel down to me? I, Luo Zhi'er, can't bear it!"

"Get up!"

"...Sell me all the bird's nests in your hand. Xiu Xiu only has 30 taels. Xiu Xiu is willing to work as a cow or a horse."

"Please, just think of yourself as showing kindness..."

Then she kowtowed her head heavily, one after another... The bump on her forehead turned black and blue, and she was so frightened that she had to pull away her hand and retreat, "What? 30 taels? No, no, this thing is quite expensive... …”

Luo Zhi'er immediately shook his head and refused, saying, "This thing is not worth the price!"She suffered a huge loss!

"Luo Zhi'er, you are still so brutal and domineering. Look at you, how did you bully this girl?"

A question filled with disbelief and a disgusting man's voice sounded from behind...

Ok?
Who hates her so much?

Luo Zhi'er turned around and saw a young man who looked like a human and a dog walking from the direction of the men's toilet.

He has a slim figure, delicate features, white teeth and red lips. He is quite handsome, but he is not her type...

He was looking at himself with disgust...

"You are……"

The man scorned and said with disdain,
"Haha, Luo Zhi'er, you are so funny! Now you are pretending to be pure and innocent. Who am I?"

"Who do you think I am? If you want to use this method to attract me, haha, I advise you to save it..."

He continued to look at her with disgust.

A name suddenly flashed through Luo Zhi'er's mind, Luo Wenzhou...

Scenes from the past flashed through my mind...

"Hua'er, just give up on this idea. Brother Wenzhou and I are going to get engaged soon!"

"Zhi'er, there's slag in my eye, help me blow it out!"

"Oh!"

Pfft!
"Huh? Hua'er..."

Luo Zhi'er was in panic...

"Luo Zhi'er, you ugly, fat, bad woman, how dare you push Hua'er into the pond?"

Luo Zhi'er turned around, "No, no, brother Wenzhou, I just... I just came to tell Hua'er about my marriage to you. I, she... why did she suddenly step into the air and fall?"

"roll!"

Luo Wenzhou took off his coat, jumped into the pond, and picked up the wet flowers...

"You are an ugly woman with a dirty mind. I can clearly see that you pushed her down with your own hands. You used the favor my father owed your family ten years ago to blackmail me into marrying you!"

"Brother Wenzhou, what are you talking about? Why can't Zhi'er understand?"

"Don't you understand? You're still pretending to be innocent at this time. Didn't you ask your father to blackmail my father?"

"Are you satisfied now?"

He still had something to say. It was indeed Luo Zhi'er's father who asked with a smile on his face. In order to make up for them, he, Old Man Luo, was willing to give them a large dowry...

Therefore, Old Man Luo went to the mountains early in the morning to dig for mountain goods and collect money...

"Didn't I tell you clearly that I don't like you, hate you, and resent you...don't you stop following me? Can't you understand human language?"

"Brother Wenzhou..."

"Shut up! Don't call me that again, I feel sick and will vomit! Just listen to me. Even if you act like a horse to me, Luo Wenzhou, I won't even look at you!"

"Look at you, you look like a bear. You're not even worthy of carrying flowers' shoes! You'd better not appear in front of us again..."

Luo Zhi'er's eyes were full of tears, and she wanted to step forward to see the unconscious Hua'er.

Because she was standing at the edge of the pond, and as soon as she took a step forward, Luo Wenzhou pushed her into the pond with a palm.

Fortunately, the surrounding area was relatively shallow. She was so heavy that she almost lost her balance and fell into the water... She was also completely soaked...

I saw with my own eyes Luo Wenzhou giving Hua'er Qi in front of the villagers who came to watch!

It's just what he's been dreaming of...

Luo Zhi'er wiped her tears all the way, and when she ran home in despair, there was an even bigger thunderbolt waiting for her...

Old Man Luo fell from the cliff and was seriously injured and fell into coma...

When Luo Zhi'er saw Old Man Luo in a pool of blood, he could hardly stand still... He held himself up, crying all the way and even fell down without knowing the pain... He went to invite the doctor from the village...

When Li Sanmao from Zhaoli Village heard about this, he ran over in a panic...

I happened to meet old man Luo taking his last breath after waking up.

"Sanmao, this girl Zhi'er is simply a good girl, so I leave it to you... Only you and I can rest assured..."

Li Sanmao's eyes were heavy and he nodded heavily: "Okay!"

Old Man Luo closed his eyes, Li Sanmao took care of everything after his death...
