The lucky girl in the village has a good way of making money.

Chapter 502 Impossible (Two chapters in one)

Lu stepped forward and took Wang Po's arm. She glanced at her second sister-in-law who came over curiously and sighed. She hurriedly asked Wang Po in a low voice, "Mother, did Xiu Miao say anything when she came back? Can you see what she brought back?"

Mrs. Wang was confused. "She didn't say anything, and I didn't see her bring anything back. Fen'er, what's wrong? What happened?"

Liu's eyes rolled at the side. "Speaking of which, Xiu Miao was a little strange when she came back today. I don't know what she put in her arms, she held it tightly. As soon as she entered the room, she went back to the room and closed the door. I don't know what she did. Not long after, she went out again."

In fact, Xiu Miao didn't cover her arms when she came back. She said that on purpose. She saw that her sister-in-law and her sisters-in-law had all come together. It must be that Xiu Miao had done something strange in the Li family yesterday. And her sister-in-law said that, maybe the Li family lost something!
No matter whether Xiumiao took it or not, she just said this, feeling gloating in her heart!
Who told her sister-in-law to introduce her elder sister-in-law to work in the sheep workshop last year instead of introducing her? They were both her niece’s sisters-in-law, so she was close to her elder sister-in-law and wanted Xiu Miao to be her daughter-in-law. Obviously, her niece from her niece’s family was much better than Xiu Miao. She told her sister-in-law about it, but she refused without even thinking about it.

Oh, now the sister-in-law is close to the eldest sister-in-law and has taken a fancy to Xiu Miao, but Xiu Miao is not honest. Ha, won’t the sister-in-law be embarrassed in front of her parents-in-law and sisters-in-law?

Liu was so excited that she could hardly hide it. Lu saw it at a glance and ignored her and looked at Qian.

Qian was also annoyed by her sister-in-law's behavior, even though there were outsiders present. She immediately called out to her youngest son who was standing on the eaves, "Baozhu, go to Xianghua's house and see if your second sister is there. If she is, ask her to come home quickly!"

Lu Baozhu responded hurriedly and trotted out. He bumped into Shi Liu who was getting off the carriage and walking towards the door. Lu Baozhu didn't know Shi Liu, but just looking at such a pretty girl, his face turned red like a monkey's butt. He lowered his head and dodged. After running for a while, he couldn't help turning his head to look at Shi Liu.

Liu in the yard also saw Shi Liu coming in. Her eyes immediately lit up and she rushed to greet him, "Oh! Distinguished guest! Distinguished guest! Huaihua! Hurry up and boil some water to make some sweet soup! My niece Shi Liu, it's cold outside, come inside and warm yourself by the fire!"

Shi Liu suddenly came up to greet her warmly. Looking at Liu's shy smile, Shi Liu almost thought she saw her fourth aunt Jiang.

As the saying goes, don't hit someone who smiles at you, so Shi Liu nodded politely at her.

Qian also realized that they couldn't just stay outside in the cold, so she quickly invited Fan and Shi Liu to come into the house to warm themselves by the fire.

When Mrs. Wang saw Shi Liu coming, she was also nervous and asked her daughter in a low voice what had happened to Xiu Miao. Mrs. Lu shook her head and said she would wait until Xiu Miao came back.

Everyone went into the main room and sat down. Mrs. Wang was afraid of the cold, so she only added a few pieces of charcoal to make it a little hot. This was not good for entertaining guests. Liu seemed to have caught the opportunity, and she took a scoop and filled half a scoop of charcoal to add it to the brazier, making the fire burn so vigorously that even she could feel the heat while standing at the back.

Mrs. Wang's eyelids twitched as she looked at the charcoal that had been added, but she glanced at her second daughter-in-law who was grinning and trying to get close to Shi Liu, and in the end she didn't say anything to her. She thought she would scold her after everyone left, "You spendthrift woman, how can you use charcoal like this!"
The syrup made from Sophora japonica flowers hadn't been cooked yet and was brought in when Lu Baozhu came back first. "Mom, my second sister isn't at Xianghua's house! Aunt Cai said she saw her leaving the village and heading towards town!"

What are you doing in town?
Qian's face turned pale and she had a bad feeling.

Mrs. Liu started to cry out, "Why did Xiu Miao go to town? No one was with her. She usually doesn't dare to go to town alone! Besides, what did she go to town for? To buy flowers or candy?"

The tone of his voice was almost like asking if Xiu Miao had stolen something from the Li family so she rushed to town to sell it!
Qian's face became even uglier after hearing what she said, but she still managed a smile and said to Shi Liu and Fan, "No! Xiu Miao is not that kind of child. She can't possibly steal things. What is she trying to do?"

He couldn't help but pull Lu's hand and said, "You know, her little aunt, I want to be closer to you, and Xiu Miao herself said she is willing to marry Rong Quan, so when she came to your house, she was eager to work and please your parents-in-law, hoping that the marriage could be settled quickly. How could she do such a thing!"

Lu also felt that under such circumstances, unless Xiu Miao was mentally ill, she would not do such a stealing thing in her husband's house. But Xiu Miao was too suspicious. Why did she go to the town right after returning from Xiahe Village? What was she doing in the town?
Do you want to sell that picture?

The more Mrs. Lu thought about it, the uglier her face became. She couldn't hold her head up in front of Shi Liu because her niece had done such a thing. After all, if it weren't for her, how could Xiu Miao go to their house and steal the blueprint?

Mrs. Lu quickly glanced at Shi Liu and said hurriedly, "Sister-in-law, let's quickly ask Brother and Li Zhu to go to the town and find Xiu Miao!"

Liu was sure of it now and almost laughed out loud. Oh, Xiu Miao really stole something from the Li family! The sister-in-law looked at the pomegranate like that again. Could it be that this thing is still a pomegranate?
Tsk tsk tsk, the sister-in-law is done for now, Shi Liu will fire her!

Mrs. Wang glared at Liu and was also having a headache. Regardless of whether Xiu Miao really stole something, as the second aunt, you are so gloating over other people's misfortune. Aren't you making a fool of yourself?
She knew what Liu was thinking, and couldn't help cursing inwardly, "If your sister-in-law really can't work in the Li family workshop, can they still hire you? There is no separation, we are all one family. If your sister-in-law's family offended Shi Liu, how can you not be implicated?"

However, this second daughter-in-law has always been short-sighted and not very smart. Mrs. Wang was so angry that she didn't have time to scold her. She was so anxious and angry that Xiu Miao could really steal things?

Without waiting for Qian to say anything, Mrs. Wang hurriedly called her eldest son and grandson to go to the town and bring Xiu Miao back!
He also secretly winked at his eldest son, telling him that if Xiu Miao really went to sell something, he must redeem the things and bring them back!

If Xiumiao really did such a thing, there would be nothing they could do. What they could do now was to ensure that the things were recovered and returned. This way they could apologize to the other party and try to get Shiliu to not blame their family for the sake of their daughter!

Especially the job of the eldest daughter-in-law, it can’t be lost!

Lu's eldest brother and nephew also knew that this matter was important, so they hurried out and went to the town.

Yinzi Village is close to Huji Town, only three or four miles away. People go to Huji Town on a daily basis instead of going to Dafengji like Xiahe Village, Shanghe Village and Changqing Village.

It’s only three or four miles, so it doesn’t take much effort to walk.

At this moment, Huaihua had also cooked the sugar water and brought it in.

Mrs. Wang hurriedly invited Shi Liu and Mrs. Fan to have some sweet soup, while chatting about some family matters, speaking very politely.

After such a busy morning, Shi Liu was indeed a little hungry. Looking at the two poached eggs lying in the brown sugar water, which smelled sweet even without fermented glutinous rice, she thanked them with a smile, took the bowl and ate it in small bites while listening carefully to Mrs. Wang chatting about family matters. Her face showed no expression, as if she was just a little girl visiting relatives.

As Mrs. Wang watched, she did not dare to be careless. She knew that the girl in front of her was no ordinary girl. Before the Li family became rich, she had been able to reject the marriage proposal from the wealthy Ding family in the city without batting an eyelid. If it were an ordinary girl, who could refuse to marry into a wealthy family and become a grandmother?
But she can!

Not only that, he also expanded his business step by step on his own, and even got to know the Liu family, the richest family in Bingzhou, and started a business partnership with them.

When hundreds of bandits invaded Xiahe Village, she would lead the men of Xiahe Village to fight against the bandits, kill them all, and even cut off the head of the bandit leader!

This is a little girl who has even been praised by the emperor!

How could she treat her as an ordinary girl?

She looked like a little girl, with nothing obvious, which made Mrs. Wang even more nervous.

But she had to cheer up and chat with Shi Liu about all sorts of things, hoping to get closer to her so that she could talk to her later. It was almost noon, so Wang Po asked Liu to kill a chicken and took Lizhu and Tongzhu's wives to prepare lunch.

Shi Liu, who had only listened to Mrs. Wang chatting about family matters and nodded in agreement from time to time without saying anything, now spoke up, "No, no, there are many of us, and it would be troublesome for you to arrange it. It's not far away, we can just go home and eat later."

Mrs. Wang hurriedly said that it was not a problem, it was just that the pomegranates brought more people, but it would only mean more food, and she didn't dare to be stingy and reluctant to give them away.

Shi Liu insisted that there was no need to bother, and Fan followed suit, saying that they could just go back and eat later as their family was waiting for them.

Mrs. Wang opened her mouth hesitantly and looked at her daughter again.

Lu looked at Shi Liu and Fan and hurriedly said that it was not necessary. She then asked Bao Zhu to go out and see if they had returned.

Mrs. Wang was very nervous. She had talked about a lot of family matters and now she didn't know what to say.

Finally, Liu got the chance to interrupt and started praising Shi Liu in various ways - as she was talking, she ended up asking Shi Liu to hire her to work in the workshop.

She doesn't know how to sew, so she can't enter the new workshop. Can she be recruited to the sheep workshop to weave clothes?
She said she couldn't sew, and she didn't know what the new workshop offered. Mainly, she just wanted to work in the sheep workshop and weave clothes like her sister-in-law. She could earn at least one or two taels of silver a month!
Seeing that Liu was getting closer and closer, and even moved a small stool to squeeze next to him, her chattering mouth and saliva sprayed on his face. Shi Liu frowned, as if he smelled a faint fishy odor, and finally he could not sit still anymore.

"Where is the toilet?" She stood up and interrupted Liu's chattering.

"I'll take you there." Lu quickly stood up.

Fan followed suit and said she also wanted to go to the toilet. The three of them left the hall and went to the back.

As soon as the others left, Mrs. Wang opened her mouth and cursed Liu in a low voice, "Look at your character! If you don't speak, no one will think you are dumb. Go back to your room and don't come out again!"

Liu pouted in dissatisfaction, "Why? Why do you keep chattering, mother-in-law? Why don't you just be mute? Humph, you are the head of the family, Gu Lao!
But even though she cursed the old woman in her heart, she didn't dare to confront Wang Pozi. Who told her that she didn't have a family to support her like her elder sister-in-law? Her parents were gone, and she only had a younger brother, who usually needed the support of the couple. Just for this reason, she was inferior to her elder sister-in-law...

But she didn't want to be driven back to the house. She wasn't a new bride, so why couldn't she see anyone? She still wanted to watch the show in the big room later.

So he was willing to take the risk and immediately flattered Wang Po and said nice things to her.

Mrs. Wang didn't bother to say anything more to her. Seeing that she had behaved herself, she let it go. She immediately pulled Qian aside and asked, "What did Xiu Miao take? Do you know?"

In the backyard, Shi Liu didn't really want to go to the toilet. She was used to the clean toilet at home, and she really couldn't go to the toilet outside.

Just waiting for Fan outside.

Mrs. Lu was also standing nearby. She glanced at Shi Liu, rubbed her hands, and said hesitantly, "If it was really Xiu Miao who took it, I'll apologize to you, Shi Liu, first. After all, she is my niece. If it weren't for me, she wouldn't be able to come to our house, and she wouldn't be able to take the picture—"

Shi Liu smiled at her, "Aunt Zong is Aunt Zong, and she is she."

In one sentence, Lu understood Shi Liu's meaning. Shi Liu would not vent her anger on her just because Xiu Miao was her niece. Similarly, she would not ignore Xiu Miao just because she was her niece.

Lu sighed inwardly, thinking that her elder brother and nephew must bring back the pattern along with it.

Otherwise, today will be a mess.

The three of them returned to the main room. Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Qian, who were whispering to each other, separated themselves immediately. Mrs. Wang smiled and asked Shi Liu and the other two to sit back and warm themselves by the fire. "Shi Liu, my dear sister-in-law, come and try our homemade fried pumpkin seeds."

With some free time to crack pumpkin seeds, time passes much faster.

Soon, footsteps were heard outside, and Lu Baozhu ran in sweating profusely, "My father and the others are back!"

"Have you found your second sister?" Mrs. Wang asked hurriedly.

Lu Baozhu nodded, "Found it!"

Everyone looked at the door.

After a while, three figures entered the yard and went straight into the main room.

The eldest brother Lu and his nephew stood on the left and right, flanking Xiu Miao in the middle and entered the main room.

Qian couldn't sit still, so she rushed over first, pulled Xiu Miao to her side, and said, "Xiumiao, what are you doing in town? Tell me the truth, did you take anything from your aunt's house?"

Xiu Miao looked confused. "Mom, what are you talking about? What did I get from my aunt's house? I went to town to give Mei Fang a sheep's crutch as I promised her a few days ago."

Seeing her daughter's expression, Qian felt relieved and knew that she didn't seem to be lying, but she still looked at her husband and son.

Lu Lizhu said, "Xiumiao asked me to help make a pair of sheep's crutches a few days ago and said she would give them to Meifang. My father and I found Xiumiao at my aunt's house, and my aunt also said that Xiumiao was going to give the sheep's crutches to Meifang."

Qian was completely relieved, and then turned to look at Fan, Shi Liu and Lu, and said, "I told you that my Xiu Miao is a good child and it is impossible for her to steal anything! Sister-in-law, you must have let it go. My Xiu Miao didn't take it."

Fan was also confused. She kept staring at Xiu Miao and really couldn't tell that she was lying...

Could it be that it really wasn’t Xiu Miao who took it?
But I searched all over the house, but couldn't find it.

In broad daylight, did you really see a ghost?
