After selling myself, I became the head of the family

Chapter 88 Zhao Huilan

After coming out of the medical clinic, Su Yueyue had a smile on her face.

Although there is no better way to cure Mammy's illness, there is hope for the cure of Young Master's leg.

It sounds like a good thing.

"Sir, is there anything you want to eat?"

After taking a look at the sky, it was almost noon, and thinking about what dishes were left at home, Su Yueyue planned to go to the market to buy some vegetables and take them back.

"There's nothing in particular I want to eat."

The young man shook his head, still thinking about what just happened.

So who wants to harm himself?

The Lu family has collapsed, leaving only him as a cripple, and the Lu family's collapse was also because of the letter sent by the imperial concubine.

In other words, there were hidden secrets about his family affairs at the beginning, so the people behind the scenes wanted to keep him away from Kyoto without anyone noticing, and then die in a foreign country?

Lu Xingzhou secretly lowered his eyes and vowed to find out this matter.

In the winter, most people buy food for several days at a time and store it at home. Now that the weather is cold, even if they buy meat and store it, it won't go bad.

Even the butcher shop had one pig every day instead of one every two days.

"Ms. Su, are you here to buy meat again?"

When the butcher shop owner saw Su Yueyue coming, he immediately greeted with a smile.

"Do you have pig's trotters? If so, a hind hoof."

The little girl looked around and didn't see any pig's trotters on the chopping board, so she could only ask.

"Unfortunately, the hind hoof was bought by someone just now. I also kept one here to take home for food."

The butcher shop owner looked troubled and looked at Su Yueyue and then at Lu Xingzhou behind her.

"Ms. Su, are you going to buy some soup for your husband to replenish his health?" Noticing that Lu Xingzhou's legs were sick, the butcher shop owner only hesitated for a moment before taking out the pig's trotters.

"Since it's for the sick, then Madam Su, take it and replenish it with whatever you eat, so that you can replenish it for your husband."

The butcher shop owner recognized Nanny Cai and Su Yueyue, but he didn't know Lu Xingzhou.

On weekdays, either Aunt Cai or Su Yueyue would come to buy meat. He had always regarded them as grandson and grandson. Now looking at it, the person sitting in the wheelchair was probably the grandson of Aunt Cai.

"This is my boss's house, but I have to thank the boss." Su Yueyue was used to everyone's misunderstandings. After thanking her, she asked the price, then pushed Lu Xingzhou with her things and left.

But because she had to push the wheelchair, the basket containing the pig's trotters had to be carried by Lu Xingzhou.

Looking at the white and tender pig's trotters with a hint of pink in the basket, Lu Xingzhou ran out of ideas.

Could it be that I have to do this every day in the future?
  The young man thought a little uneasily.

Unexpectedly, not long after he walked out, he met Gu Erlang who was selling fish with Gu Jiao.

"Ms. Su, do you want any more sea bass today? Today's sea bass is fresh and was caught just an hour ago."

Gu Erlang's eyes lit up, he looked at Su Yueyue and asked with a smile.

"If you have one, take one."

Su Yueyue looked at the lively river fish in the barrel and replied with a smile.

Young Master, it would be good if you eat more fish.

Gu Jiao became excited as soon as she heard Su Yueyue's voice.

"Sister Su! Are you here to buy groceries today too!"

It was rare for the little girl to come to town, especially now that she met someone she knew, so she was naturally very happy.

"Jiaojiao, you came to town with your brother today." After greeting her, the two little girls started chatting.

"Sister Su, during the winter solstice a few days ago, my brother and I came to town, but we didn't meet you."

As Gu Jiao spoke, she grabbed Su Yueyue's arm and refused to let go.

"I'm here too, but since it's snowing, I'll go back with the young master first."

Su Yueyue smiled and talked to her, looking at her well-behaved appearance, she felt very fond of her.

When she was in the village, she still had two playmates of the same age, but they disappeared after coming to town. She liked chatting with Gu Jiao very much.

"Ms. Su, the bass is tied up for you."

Gu Erlang smiled heartily, but it aroused Lu Xingzhou's slight jealousy.

Is this the Gu Erlang that grandma mentioned?
  Born really well.

The young man curled his lips and felt a little more comparison. When your legs get better, you can always make them stronger than him.

"How much."

Su Yueyue took out her purse and was about to pay, but was stopped by Gu Jiao.

"Sister Su, there is no need to give me any money. This is a thank you gift for helping me."

The little girl said with a smile.

"Then how can this be? Your brother has already sent you something before. If you don't accept the payment, I won't want this sea bass."

Su Yueyue pretended to be angry and spoke.

"Mrs. Su, just give us twelve cents."

Gu Erlang smiled and said the price, but for a moment he didn't know where to put the bass in his hand.

On weekdays, everyone carries it or puts it in a basket.

But it was obvious that Su Yueyue wanted to push the cart, so it was not convenient for him to carry a fish. And the vegetable basket was on Mr. Lu's lap at the moment, so it was not easy for him to put the fish in it.

The atmosphere was so stagnant.

A trace of embarrassment flashed across Lu Xingzhou's face.

Even though he knew that he didn't mean to humiliate him, the boy's self-esteem was still frustrated.

Have you become so useless?

"Just give it to me."

Su Yueyue took the lead to break the awkwardness and reached out to take the fish.

She was slightly startled when she noticed that the weight was wrong.

The bass costs ten cents per catty. The weight of this bass is at least one and a half catties. How come you only charge yourself twelve cents?

"The last one, I can call it a day once it's sold out." Gu Erlang grinned and said with a big white eye that was particularly dazzling.

"Thank you so much, Brother Gu."

After greeting Gu Jiao, Su Yueyue carried a bass in one hand and pushed Lu Xingzhou back home.

"Give me the fish and I'll take it."

Lu Xingzhou spoke dullly.

"No, sir, this sea bass is fresh, so I won't get you covered in water after a while."

The little girl pushed the wheelchair with a bang, holding the bass in her other hand.

"I said give me the fish." The young man's tone became stronger. Su Yueyue was stunned and could only follow his words.

Feeling the weight in his hand, Lu Xingzhou felt a little satisfied.

He just suffered from a leg disease, how could he not even be able to lift things with his hands?

The two walked home in a slightly funny way, attracting the attention of many passers-by along the way.

At first, maybe it was because the way Lu Xingzhou was sitting in a wheelchair holding a basket with pig's trotters in one hand and a bass in the other was a bit funny.

But when they saw his face clearly, their cheeks turned slightly red.

It is rare to find such a handsome young man in this town.

Seeing that they were about to arrive at Qingshui Lane, Su Yueyue breathed a sigh of relief.

But at this moment, Su Mingle and Zhao Huilan suddenly turned out of the nearby street.

When she met the elder Su Yueyue, she should have said hello, but when she saw it was them, the little girl pursed her lips and wanted to leave.

"Su Yueyue?"

Zhao Huilan recognized the little girl in front of her and frowned slightly.

"Auntie. Cousin."

The elder had already recognized her, so Su Yueyue had no choice but to reply. After holding it in for a while, she could only call someone dryly.

Zhao Huilan has hardly been to Shantou Village in so many years, and she doesn't have much memory of her niece.

I just remember that when I saw her as a child, she was thin and small. She would smile sweetly when anyone called her, and the two pear dimples on her cheeks were especially obvious.

I haven't seen him for many years, so why did he come to town?

Could it be that you are already married?
  But she didn't listen to the child's father.
