Chapter 141 This Mr. Xu is unusual

After spending the night at Su Ran's house, after breakfast the next morning, Xu Ming obediently hugged the rabbit and left.

However, after the people left, when Su Ran went to tidy up the mattress, she found a bank note under the pillow - the face value was a full 100 taels!

Showing the bank note to Li Er and Mr. Yuan, Li Er remained as sullen as ever and did not say a word, while Mr. Yuan rubbed his chin and pondered for a long time before he said slowly: "It seems that Mr. Xu's status is very unusual. !"

That's right, who can take out 100 taels of silver bills in one breath, what kind of ordinary person can he be?And to be honest, until now, they have never seen so much money!
Unfortunately--

"We can't use this money." Su Ran whispered.

Both Mr. Yuan and Li Er nodded in unison.

"This Mr. Xu is really cute and stupid. We country people can't save much money all year round, and we can't even get out the money that was spent in vain. Now he leaves us bank notes? There is not even a bank in our town. None, and you have to go to the county seat to exchange the money. But it’s all right, what are we going to do in the county seat?” Mr. Yuan played with the bank notes, his face full of amusement.

"Or, he's not stupid at all." Su Ran suddenly said a word.

Mr. Yuan paused, and immediately nodded again. "That's right. If he was really stupid, would he have given the money in the first place? It seems that we are the ones who are stupid this time, and we were actually cheated by him alone!"

"But it's not bad to get a silver ticket after being cheated once." Su Ran said softly.Although they had already decided not to move the banknote.

Mr. Yuan thought about it again. "Xu Ming, the surname is Xu... Do you know that there is a big family in the county whose surname is Xu?"

"Since he lied to us from the beginning, maybe he even made up his surname, what's the use of worrying about it now?" Su Ran shook her head, "Everyone is gone, then this matter has never happened, in the future Don't mention it any more."

"Sister-in-law, you are right, let's just pretend that this has never happened, and I will definitely not mention it again in the future!" Mr. Yuan nodded quickly, and stuffed the money into Li's second hand, "Since the money is from that Xu The young master used it to buy rabbits, so let’s leave it to you, and let you arrange it!”

Li Er handed over the bank note to Su Ran again.

Su Ran held the bank note and thought about it, then folded the note and put it away.

From this day on, the whole family acted as if nothing had happened, and kept silent about Mr. Xu who had appeared at home once.

In a blink of an eye, time passed by again, and it seemed that it was the Lantern Festival again.

This time, Sister-in-law Qian's family specially came to Su Ran's side to celebrate the festival with them.

"Every year at this time, the town is full of people, it's so noisy, it's annoying! I won't go outside this year, let's spend it with you!" Holding Su Ran's hand, Sister Qian couldn't bear it. I kept complaining about the town.

Su Ran smiled. "Sister-in-law, are you sure you don't want to rent a place on Huajie to sell noodles this year?"

"Tch, you can be regarded as a person of status now. As for the one or two hundred copper coins that tormented yourself to death?" Knowing that she was joking with herself, Sister Qian raised her chin and put on a condescending look. "Nowadays in the town, whoever sees me has to call me Mrs. Qian! Even my relatives are fawning on me now. You know, my most beautiful cousin After marrying into the county, I felt as if I had ascended to heaven, and I looked down upon my sister who has been hanging around in the town. Guess what happened this time for the New Year?"

Seeing the way she smiled so hard that she couldn't see her teeth, she knew that she must have let out a hard breath this time.

Su Ran smiled and asked: "How is it?"

"She, she's still very bitter towards me, so what if she has a few shops under her name? They're all picked up by chance! If you have the ability to earn it yourself, what kind of hero do you rely on such low-level means? A hero?" Sister Qian imitated her cousin, and smiled triumphantly, "In the end, I told her that it was my ability to pick up the leaks! Why didn't your family have the ability to pick up such a big bargain? Besides Oh, you heroes, why have you been guarding a grocery store all your life, and haven’t bought a second store yet? I don’t think your husband and wife are as capable as our husband and wife! That damn girl was dumbfounded by my words Speechless, I wanted to refute it several times but I couldn't say anything, and finally I could only stomp my feet and run away!"

It is indeed a happy thing to be proud in front of people who have always despised themselves.

Su Ran smiled and nodded. "It's fine if you vent your anger."

"Yeah, I was venting my anger. It's just that, thinking about you now, I still can't stop worrying about you." Suddenly, Sister-in-Law Qian changed the subject and turned the matter to Su Ran.

Su Ran didn't understand. "Sister-in-law, what did you say?"

"Hey, isn't it because of Mr. Chen and the others?" Sister Qian shook her head and sighed, "When the banquet was held on the beams of your new house years ago, I saw everything that happened that day. It was clearly Mr. Chen and his son. The two made a fuss on purpose! You suffered from being dumb, but you didn’t dare to say a word, isn’t it because we are ordinary people and we can’t compete with them who are officials? Now with that title of Juren, Master Chen is already in our town He is king and hegemony. But this year, did you know? On the third day of junior high school, Mr. Chen had already taken Mr. Chen out. I asked the servants of the Chen family to inquire, and only then did I know that the father and son had gone to the provincial capital! "

"They didn't go to the county seat, but went directly to the provincial capital?" Su Ran was surprised when he heard this.

Mrs. Qian kept nodding. "Isn't it? This year is the time for the exam. The father and son are going to the provincial capital at this time. The purpose is very obvious. It is clear that they intend to seize the opportunity to please the nobles in the provincial capital. When Mr. Chen is going to take the exam, They can also take advantage of it! When they come back in two months, there will be one more Juren in our town!"

Su Ran listened, and her heart couldn't help but sink.

Of course she understood what Sister-in-Law Qian meant.

Just the jury of Mr. Chen already oppressed them so much that they couldn't breathe.The reason why they can still live here well now is only because Mr. Chen still wants to show face, or because he is not capable enough to do whatever he wants in this town.However, if Mr. Chen also wins Juren this time, then the father and son can do whatever they want!At least, if they want to separate her and Li Er again, they don't have to take such gentle measures.After all, who would be stupid enough to risk offending two Juren to help them?And with the abilities of their husband and wife, it is obviously not enough to compete with this couple.

"Hey, now I can only ask for God's blessing, and I must not let this wolf-hearted father and son get their wish!" Sister-in-law Qian clasped her hands together and recited Amitabha Buddha. She was sincerely praying for Su Ran.

Su Ran was very moved. "Sister-in-law, I understand your kindness in my heart. However, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain. If that time really comes, I think we can get along with each other."

"That's right, you two are such powerful people, you are much stronger than us. You have come here after so many storms, even if this happens to you, you will definitely be able to think of a way!" Sister Qian nodded quickly, "Okay Let’s not talk about this, I still have a funny thing to tell you!”

"What's the matter?" Su Ran asked hurriedly.

"It's your uncle...ah bah, what, look at my mouth!" Sister-in-law Qian patted her own mouth forcefully, "I mean, Su Chengcai's father and son, they have already packed up and went to the provincial capital Go! Su Chengcai said that the reason why his son failed the exam last time was because he was not by his side and did not wake him up in time. This time, he will personally escort his son. So this time , his son is the chosen talent!"

"Really?" Su Ran's mouth twitched slightly, "In this case, let's wait for their good news."

"Isn't it? I'm also waiting to see if Su Fu can be a scholar!" Sister Qian curled her lips, "And let me tell you, Su Chengcai spent the money they earned during the Chinese New Year from their foot shop this time." I brought everything with me. If Su Fu doesn't win this time, then their father and son will look good!"

When Su Ran heard it, she couldn't help but flash her eyes for an instant.

"How come? Isn't Master Chen and his father and son already in the provincial capital?" She said softly.
