After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 12 Lu Xingzhou

The gray purse feels silky to the touch, made of fine satin, with the word "peace" embroidered with gold thread on it.

The embroidery stitches are delicate and look very smooth. Just by looking at it, you know that this is no ordinary thing.

Aunt Zhang took the purse from the little girl's hand with a complicated expression. This thing is not cheap.

But in this small town, which family can use a purse embroidered with gold thread?

"This is a purse? What is embroidered on it?" Yang Lihua came over to take a look, but she couldn't read the words and couldn't tell what was embroidered on it. She only thought the style of the purse was beautiful, and the thread used to embroider the things was also beautiful. .

"The word "peace" is embroidered on it. I wonder which family lost it."

Aunt Zhang pursed her lips, not knowing what to do now.

If it's an ordinary purse, they can just leave it here and wait for someone to come back and pick it up.

After all, this purse is just an accessory that symbolizes peace, but the value of this purse is not low. If it is left here casually, it would be bad if it is picked up by others.

After all, this purse was bought by the elders in the family because they valued the younger ones. It would be a pity for her to lose it.

"This purse is not cheap. Let's wait here. If we meet the owner, we might as well return it to him."

She didn't say that the thread on the purse was gold, she just said something vaguely.

"Then just wait, lest the owner worry."

Feng Shuzhen touched the heads of her two daughters. If they do a good deed every day, maybe God will bless her family to live a better life.

Although Yang Lihua felt that a purse wouldn't be very valuable, she didn't say anything about leaving and just waited here.

The two came back together, so they couldn't be left standing here stupidly.

Aunt Cai looked around in the yard but couldn't see the purse.

I became anxious all of a sudden.

This purse was given to the young master by his wife. Now things have changed and people have changed. If even this last sustenance is gone, what will the young master do in the future?

"Mother Cai, just throw it away. Don't worry about it anymore."

Lu Xingzhou's voice came from inside the house and fell into Nanny Cai's ears.

"Master, don't worry, I will definitely get it back."

Aunt Cai's eyes almost turned red when she heard what he said.

How did such a good son become what he is today?

No matter what, she would find this purse.

Having made up her mind, Grandma Cai left the yard, planning to follow the way she came and look back.

Although she was determined in her heart that she must find it back, thinking back to the way the two of them were being watched today, Grandma Cai herself felt unsure.

She was unfamiliar with the place, and she didn't know whether the people in this town were good or bad. Moreover, the purse was worth a lot of money. If it was picked up and sold, where would she find it?
  I looked back nervously all the way, and I happened to be spotted by Su Qing.

"Aniang, Aniang, that is the mother-in-law who was surrounded today."

Recognizing that she was the person who was surrounded today, Su Qing tugged on the corner of her mother-in-law's clothes with excitement on her face.

Feng Shuzhen followed the direction of her daughter's finger and saw Grandma Cai looking around with her head down.

Aunt Cai was wearing clothes that they had never seen before. Coupled with the hairpin on her head, Feng Shuzhen knew that she must have lost the purse.

Aunt Zhang and Feng Shuzhen had the same idea, so they went over to stop the person.

When she found herself being stopped by two women, Grandma Cai felt her heart pounding.

What is this doing?
  Is it possible that there are still people robbing things on the street?
  "Mom, what are you looking for?"

Aunt Zhang asked first. Grandma Cai's heart was ringing with alarm, and she took two steps back with some vigilance in her eyes.

"I lost my things, what do you want to do?"

Feng Shuzhen was a little embarrassed when she met her wary eyes, and then explained: "Auntie, did you lose a purse? My daughter picked up one. We said we would wait and see if the owner found someone. I just saw you looking down. Something, that’s why I came to ask.”

"Yes, that's right."

Knowing that she had misunderstood, Grandma Cai was also a little embarrassed.

"Auntie, look at it, is it this purse?"

Passing the purse over, Feng Shuzhen asked.

"Yes, that's it. Thank you, thank you."

When she found that her purse was still in good condition, Grandma Cai felt her face was burning. Someone had picked up something and was waiting for her to find it, but she ended up thinking the worst about it.

It really shouldn’t be!
  "Auntie, I think you have just moved to the town. I'd better not bring out such a purse. It's too conspicuous."

Before leaving, Aunt Zhang said one more thing.

Her accent doesn't sound like someone from here, but more like someone from the north.

Since I just moved to this town, I can only think of it as a good thing to give him a little reminder.

Qingqing also said that this aunt is the one being watched today. Since so many people already know that outsiders are here, if they still dress the same as before, it will only cause unnecessary trouble.

Aunt Cai was a little surprised. She never thought she would say that. She just nodded, thanked her and left.

Back in the courtyard, Grandma Cai hesitated for a while and then sent the purse into the house.

"Sir, I found my wallet."

Lu Xingzhou was lying on the bed to rest. When he heard that his wallet was found, he opened his eyes slightly.

Seeing that the purse was really fine, the boy's Adam's apple rolled, but he couldn't say a word.

This is the only thing left by my mother-in-law.

"Young master, you have a good rest. I'm going to pack your things. I'll bring the food in when it's ready."

Seeing that he still didn't want to speak, Grandma Cai felt a sore tip of her nose and whispered.

The young master used to be the best son in the capital, but now he has become like this.

After exiting the room, Grandma Cai wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and went back to her side room to put away the hair accessories on her head.

The two women today were right, it is better to put these things away.

Thinking of the people she had just seen in the town, Grandma Cai pursed her lips and had an idea in her mind.

I'm just afraid that I have to buy new clothes, shoes and socks.

The clothes people here wear should be made of ordinary cotton. When the time comes, I will only need to make a few sets of coats for the young master. The inner clothes will also be made of white silk to prevent the fabric from being too poor and making it uncomfortable to wear.

The yard is not too big, but with just the two of them living there, it is still a bit empty.

But now, what choice is there?
  The Lu family is gone, and the two of them can only rely on others now.

After just cleaning the house, Grandma Cai felt soreness in her waist and tightness in her chest. She had no choice but to stop what she was doing and sit on a chair to rest.

She is fifty-eight years old this year, how many more years can she live?

The only thing she worried about was what the young master would do after she died.

Thinking of the young man's high-spirited appearance, Grandma Cai shed tears again.
