After selling myself, I became the head of the family

"Sir, I want to set up a stall to do business..."

Su Yueyue said softly while squeezing the muscles in his legs.

The family now relies on Grandma Cai's pension money to live on.

But Grandma Cai is seriously ill now, and she wants her to spend money to take care of herself.

Even if it can't cure her old illness, it would be good if it can make her life more comfortable.

"If you want to, then do it."

Lu Xingzhou didn't stop him, he just looked at the little girl in front of him quietly.

At the age of fourteen, if they were in Kyoto, those official ladies might still act like a spoiled child at home.

"Thank you, sir."

Su Yueyue's face was filled with joy, and her heart was even more excited.

Now that the young master agreed, she just went back to figure out what kind of business to start.

There are only a few hundred households in the town, and even if the surrounding villages are included, the population is not much larger.

If you want to make money, you should find the right way.

But what is the best thing to do?

Su Yueyue fell into deep thought.

She actually thought about setting up a stall to sell wontons as she said before.

But there are only so many people in this town, and there are many people who open various shops and stalls. If there is one more person, there may not be any opportunities to make money.

"Have you figured out what to do?"

Lu Xingzhou looked down at her, his long eyelashes blocking his eyes, making Su Yueyue unable to see the emotions in his eyes.

"Not yet. I thought about selling wontons or candied haws or something. But after much thought, I still can't make up my mind."

Su Yueyue pursed her lips and expressed all her worries.

The New Year is about to come, and County Magistrate Qi will come to Qingshui Town again before the end of the year.

That thing definitely needs to be dealt with, too.

It's time for the young master to recover again. Nanny's health is getting worse and worse now. It's not good for me to take advantage of this moment to torment her.

"You don't have to worry about my affairs. It's just that I need your help to take care of grandma."

After Lu Xingzhou finished speaking, he paused, and then continued, "As for that matter, you don't have to worry, I will take care of it. Just think about business."

He didn't want to hold Su Yueyue back.

Although she is still in the Lu family now, she has recovered her status and cannot be kept here forever.

He also understood what grandma meant, but if grandma was still here, he would definitely not want to become a villain who takes advantage of others.

If his legs can really recover, then he will take a gamble. If Yueyue is also willing, it will be good.

If she doesn't have any feelings for him, then that's it, why would she keep him by her side?

The boy's mind was wandering.

He was already in his prime of life, but a sudden change occurred in his family, and he became like this again. It happened that a girl with good looks and good temper appeared around him at this time. It was normal for him to have a heartbeat.

But Lu Xingzhou didn't want to use his so-called "identity" to force Su Yueyue.

I only dare to hide the throbbing in my heart.

Su Yueyue was in a good mood, and the spring dream last night had long been forgotten.

But as soon as she came out of Lu Xingzhou's room, she heard the coughing sounds coming from Aunt Cai's room.

Shocked, Su Yueyue didn't care about the bucket in her hand. She just put it on the ground and hurried into the house.

Aunt Cai was lying on the bed with a frighteningly pale face. Even though the stove had been lit in the room, her palms were still frighteningly cold.

"Mommy, Mommy, how are you?"

Su Yueyue's face was full of panic, and her hands couldn't stop shaking.

How could this be?

"Yueyue, I, I'm fine."

Aunt Cai opened her eyes slightly, and then she smiled after seeing the person in front of her clearly, and then spoke intermittently. Seeing her in such a state, she was still comforting herself. How could Su Yueyue be able to hold it back? The tip of her nose felt sore, and hot tears fell on Grandma Cai's hand.

"Silly child, why are you crying?" Aunt Cai raised her hand and wiped her face with some difficulty, and then she couldn't help coughing again.

Su Yueyue tried her best to hold back her tears and could only squeeze out a smile.

"Mommy, are you thirsty? I'll give you some water."

"I'm not thirsty, I just dreamed about the past."

Aunt Cai shook her head slightly, with a look of yearning on her face.

She dreamed of the old lady.

When she was skinny and thought she would be picked to be sold to other families, the old lady just looked at her slightly.

Then he stretched out his white jade-like finger and gently tapped himself.

She was kept here, and she was lucky enough to become the old lady's personal maid.

The old lady always said that she was so skinny that she looked like the osmanthus tree in the yard.

Somehow it just won’t grow branches and leaves.

After following the old lady for three years, she has grown up from that rustic little girl.

Growing up together was the sweet-scented osmanthus tree in the courtyard.

Later, the old lady learned how to make wine.

Only one jar is brewed a year, using those fragrant osmanthus flowers.

When the old lady got married, she also went with her, and later she had a young lady.

The old lady could not get off the bed.

The old lady took her with her for ten years, and she used osmanthus wine to accompany her as she grew up.

It's a pity that the general did not listen to his wife's dissuasion, and in the end only the young master was left in the Lu family.

She dreamed of the old lady, who was still in her boudoir.

She smiled so beautifully, still stretching out her white jade-like finger as before, and then gently pointed her direction.

She thought maybe the old lady missed her.

But she can't leave yet.

She hasn't seen the young master getting better yet.

If she goes down at this time, I'm afraid both the old lady and the madam will blame her.

She would have to wait a little longer.

After feeding her some warm water and getting hot water to wipe her body, Grandma Cai gradually closed her eyes, leaving only the sound of her even breathing.

Seeing that her face looked a little better, Su Yueyue put down the stone in her heart.

Are you thinking about what happened in the past?

The girl's eyebrows frowned slightly, and just when she was about to leave, she heard a low murmur coming from the direction of the bed.

Getting closer, Su Yueyue heard clearly that she was talking about Osmanthus fragrans.

But there are no sweet-scented osmanthus trees in Qingshui Town.

And even if there were, it was the twelfth lunar month of winter, where could the sweet-scented osmanthus come from?

After writing this down, the little girl quietly exited the door.

Maybe the young master will know something.

Let's ask the young master again at dawn tomorrow.

After returning to the house, Su Yueyue wrapped herself in a soft mattress and fell asleep.

There was no dream all night, except for a few snowflakes that suddenly fell when the ugly time was approaching.

The snowflakes became thicker and thicker, turning into three inches of snow bit by bit.

The fog dissipated, leaving only the white scenery.
