After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 55 People coming at night
  Looking at the red mountain fruit in her hand, Su Yueyue was stunned for a while.

She didn't expect Brother Xie to still remember that she liked to eat this.

In the past, when Brother Xie and Brother Xie took them to the mountains to collect firewood, they would often take them to pick wild fruits in the mountains to eat.

Then he packed some and went home, and then secretly went to their place to eat the fruit.

Because the family hadn't been separated at that time, if grandma saw it, she would snatch the fruits away and send them to the town.

Even now, Su Yueyue still can't understand.

It was just a handful of the most common mountain fruit. Why was Grandma willing to travel such a long way to deliver it to Su Mingle in town?

After returning to the yard, Su Yueyue washed the fruits and sent a few to Lu Xingzhou's house.

"Sir, let me bring you some fruits."

Lu Xingzhou had just taken the medicine, and now his mouth was filled with a bitter taste. After hearing her words, he also let her in.

"Sir, this is a mountain fruit from the mountain. It's sour and sweet and delicious. Try it."

Putting down the small plate, Su Yueyue was about to turn around and leave. Unexpectedly, before she could turn around, Lu Xingzhou looked at the small plate of red fruits and frowned and asked.

"Where did this come from?"

I just vaguely heard someone knocking on the door, and then the girl stayed at the door for a long time.

Could it be that the brother next door sent me something again?
  Looking at the fruits on the plate, Lu Xingzhou curled his lips secretly.

"It was sent by a brother in the village. He carried a message for my mother-in-law and also sent some wild fruits."

Although she didn't know why he asked such a question, Su Yueyue still told him everything.

Since the master asked, he should just say it himself.

It's not a big deal anyway.

"alright."

Lu Xingzhou nodded, still feeling a little uncomfortable with Su Yueyue calling him "brother".

But since it was a fruit delivered with a message, it would be fine.

"Next time he comes again, you should also send something back, so as not to appear that our Lu family doesn't know how to do things."

"No need, I gave them a box of pastries when I went home last time, but since Master said, I will give them more next time."

Although I don't think this is necessary, but after thinking carefully about Xie Laoer's hard work every time he comes, I really should send something back.

The little girl left the door while thinking about what she should give.

Lu Xingzhou, who had already picked up the mountain fruit, didn't know whether to eat or not.

Last time you went back, you specially gave me a box of cakes?
  Which brother is this?
  It wasn't until late in the evening that Aunt Cai came into the house to bring him food and saw the untouched berries on the plate, so she asked him.

"Sir, didn't you eat that mountain fruit?"

The boy was lying on the bed, eyes closed and silent.

"Yueyue also washed this mountain fruit and gave it to me to eat. It's sour and sweet, and it tastes really good.

I heard she said it was sent by a boy doll..."

As Grandma Cai spoke, her eyes kept glancing in the direction of Lu Xingzhou.

Sure enough, the young man seemed to be sulking and turned sideways again.

"Yueyue said that these wild fruits taste good and are fresh. You have had a bad appetite these past two days and haven't eaten much. Some wild fruits will whet your appetite.

If you don’t want to eat it, sir, then I will take it out and eat it myself. "

As soon as she finished speaking, she stood up and tried to take away the plate of wild fruits, but she heard a rustling sound coming from the bed.

"Mommy, please keep the mountain fruit and I will try it later."

The young man had already sat up, wearing only an undershirt on his upper body. His originally strong body now looked a little thin.

In just half a year, his body had become much weaker.

"Okay, then I'll bring the food over. I've made fish soup today. Young Master, please drink more."

"Yeah. I understand."

After placing the small table on the bed and putting the food away, Grandma Cai left the room.

Lu Xingzhou was left alone to eat his meal quietly.

The entrance of the mountain fruit was a little cold, the sweet and sour juice spread down the mouth, and the feeling of hunger rumbled in the abdomen. When she went back into the house to clean up the dishes, she saw that all the food in the dishes had been eaten, and Grandma Cai felt a little relieved.

"Sir, let me apply medicine for you."

"Sorry, mama."

After lighting the oil lamp, Grandma Cai took out a box of ointment from the cabinet.

Lu Xingzhou's legs were severely frostbitten. They were fine in the first two months, and he used the ointment given by the palace. But since the accident in the Lu Mansion, his legs have been dragged down for a whole month.

When Aunt Cai went to pick him up and leave, his leg injury was already very serious.

Not only was the skin on my legs ulcerated and pus-filled, it was also extremely red and swollen.

It took a lot of money to find such a box of useful plasters. From then on, Grandma Cai would apply the ointment to Lu Xingzhou every day to avoid any further accidents with his legs.

But even so, the muscles in Lu Xingzhou's legs began to slowly atrophy, becoming shriveled and thin compared to normal people's calves.

Seeing his legs in this state, the light in Lu Xingzhou's eyes dimmed a little more.

"Master, don't be discouraged, we will always find a way." Aunt Cai's voice was a little hoarse, but she was also comforting him.

There is always a way.

"Mommy, it's okay."

Lu Xingzhou suddenly laughed. Not only that, he also pretended to be relaxed and said, "Although my legs are disabled, at least I still have you by my side. When I was a child, my father would beat me every time I made a mistake, but as long as I hide Go to your house and he can only spare me once again.

Later, you left the house to take care of yourself, and I felt sad for a long time.

Now that we can stay together, it's good. "

After hearing his words, Grandma Cai suddenly fell silent.

When the atmosphere was awkward, there was suddenly a rapid knock on the door outside the courtyard.

The two looked at each other, both confused.

It's almost dark, who will come to visit the house?

Su Yueyue was cleaning the yard when she heard someone knocking on the door and hurried over.

However, she was not a fool. She did not open it rashly, but asked outside cautiously.

"Who's that outside?"

Yan Captou was stunned when he heard the voice of a young girl in the courtyard.

He led his men and looked around a few more times before he hesitated and said, "I'm here to see Grandma Cai."

As soon as she heard that she was here to see Aunt Cai, Su Yueyue became more and more vigilant.

Aunt Cai said that she and the young master were strangers and had no relatives or friends in Qingshui Town.

Who could this person outside the door be?
  "What are you doing with Aunt Cai?"

"Of course I have something to do with her. Who are you?"

The more Yan Captou thought about it, the more something was wrong.

Aren't there only two people in the Lu family, the young master and Aunt Cai?
  Who is it that asks myself in this courtyard?
  "I'm the little maid of this house. I won't let you in until you explain what's going on."

As Su Yueyue spoke, she looked around again, and finally took the bamboo pole used to hold the rope next to the door to defend herself.

"I am the head of the Yamen, and I am here to deliver something to Grandma Cai."

When he heard that it was their new maid, Capt. Yan was relieved.

Before the county magistrate left, he also told him to take good care of Mr. Lu and Aunt Cai.

If something happened to them under his nose, then he would have done his best to catch the head.

Su Yueyue was stunned, and then tentatively opened the door a crack. When she saw that it was Yan Captou standing outside, she quickly opened the door.

"Captain Yan, why are you here?"

Aunt Cai also came out of the house and stood in front of Su Yueyue to greet her.

"It's getting cold, so I thought of bringing you something."

Yan Captou was not angry with Su Yueyue, but instead praised her for her vigilance.

If every household in Qingshui Town could be as vigilant as this little girl, their yamen wouldn't be so tired all day long.
