Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 53

Ningxiang cried.

Lu Cheng panicked. Seeing people around him looking over, he hurriedly pulled Ning Xiang to a slightly messy corner next to him.

It's not that he doesn't want to find a place with beautiful mountains and clear waters to appease her, but in this busy street, only the corners are deserted.

But Ningxiang couldn't hold back after being stimulated by great sorrow and joy for a short time, she cried a few times, vented her despair and fear, and followed him to walk two steps before slowing down.Breaking free from Lu Cheng's big hand, she quietly wiped her eyes, lowered her head and said, "I'm fine, but I was scared by you, and I'm afraid I won't be able to pay back the money."

It's not Lu Cheng's fault.

She repeatedly rejected Lu Cheng's kindness, and it was understandable for Lu Cheng to play tricks on her, but he didn't know her difficulties.

Lu Cheng finally found out that something was wrong with her.

She doesn't like him. Last time when he came to pick her up, the little girl guarded him like a thief. Why didn't she chase Madam Li this time?

And just now, he scared her into crying, why didn't she beat him and scold him?Lu Chengke remembered that once when he frightened his sister, A Tao immediately jumped on him after crying, punched and kicked him, and repeatedly called him a bad brother...

Lu Cheng couldn't help being a little disappointed when he thought of Ning Xiang throwing himself on him and beating him and scolding him badly.

He really would rather she be angry and scold him.

"You, don't bother me to pick you up?" Seeing that she wiped away her tears, Lu Cheng asked tentatively.

Ning Xiang's face became hot.

When she had nothing to ask for from him, she wished she would never see him again, but now that she has something to ask for, she is looking forward to his coming. She is really powerful.

But in order not to use Su Yue's money, she could only turn to Lu Cheng for help.

Looking at his almost new clothes, he said like a mosquito: "Brother Lu, I, I want to redeem myself, but I'm still ten taels away..."

Lu Cheng's heart beat fast when she blushed, and when he heard this, he immediately said: "I have it, I'll just... I'll give it to you when there are fewer people." She was afraid of being watched.

He was willing to help, thinking that the reason he was so excited was that he liked her, Ning Xiang blushed even more.

Could he have misunderstood that she was attracted to him, that's why she asked him to borrow money?

Lu Cheng didn't think too much about it. Seeing her blushing and at a loss, he understood her feelings very well. Most thin-skinned people look like her when they borrow money from others.Lu Cheng also knew that she still didn't have herself in her heart. After all, after being bullied by him last time, the little girl wanted to commit suicide in anger. It was impossible to change so quickly, but she was willing to seek his help, and she wanted to redeem herself. This was enough It made him elated.

Maybe this month she was bullied in the Hou Mansion, so she made up her mind to redeem herself?
Lu Cheng didn't care, he was happy if she was willing to redeem her body.

"Let's go, let's go buy melons." In order to relieve her embarrassment, Lu Cheng led the way with a smile.

Ning Xiang nodded, lowered her eyes and followed beside him.

The melon stall was nearby, and Lu Cheng often dealt with melons and fruits, so he quickly picked two watermelons, both weighing a little over ten catties, and the stall owner weighed twenty catties.Watermelons are heavy, and the price is much cheaper than small fruits like cherries, but they also cost ten cents a catty, so two watermelons like this cost two cents.

Ning Xiang had a total of ten taels or seven dollars in her hand. If she didn't redeem her body, she might be willing to spend it once. Now that she is going to redeem her body, she has to save money to pay back Lu Cheng later. I love watermelon so much, you can buy it yourself, I'll go and see the other fruits."

"It's a happy event for you to redeem yourself. I'm happy. I invite you to eat with Amu." Knowing that she was going to redeem her body, Lu Cheng never broke his smile. Gao Gao looked forward and said happily: "Madam Li is back too, let's go to the donkey cart together."

Ning Xiang looked at the big watermelon in his arms, knowing that she couldn't persuade him, she whispered as she followed him forward: "Brother Lu, I haven't mentioned my redemption to my mother, can you..."

She has her plan, and before it happens, even Nanny Li has to keep it a secret.

"Someone in our village had a wedding, and I brought these two melons for them." Lu Cheng looked down at her and winked at her frivolously.

Those bright eyes are gentle and romantic, and Ningxiang's heart is like being pushed on a swing, even if the hand that fiddled with the swing has been retracted long ago, her heart is still swaying and thumping wildly, unable to rest for a long time. calm.

What is a farmer with such attractive eyes?
Knowing that she didn't have enough concentration, Ning Xiang never looked at Lu Cheng again, and the three of them got into the donkey cart together after meeting up with Nanny Li.

Lu Cheng was very considerate, afraid that those waiting for the bus outside Beicheng would guess that he and Ningxiang were the "mandarin ducks" in the grove, so he deliberately said that he had other things to do, and took Ningxiang Li around the city After a small circle, he rushed to the city gate.

Guo Laosan and the others have already set off.

Ning Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, recalling the scene in the woods, looking at Lu Cheng again, maybe he was short-handed, but he was not very angry.

After walking for a while, Nanny Li got off at Baihe Town as usual.

The rest of the way left them both.

"Here, this is 20 taels. You take all of it first. In case the Hou Mansion refuses to let you go and deliberately collects more money, you have to be prepared. It's better if you don't have too much. Just give it to me when you get home." Lu Cheng took it out. He turned around and handed the money bag that she carried with him to her.

He was generous, Ningxiang thought about it, and didn't refuse again, she leaned over and reached out to take it.

Lu Cheng stared at her flushed face, and by accident, he withdrew his hand when she was about to touch the purse.

Ning Xiang was surprised, raised her eyes to look at him, and met the man's playful smile.

He teased her again!
Ningxiang's little face blushed immediately, her red lips pursed unconsciously, and she was about to go back immediately.

"Next." Lu Cheng accepted it as soon as he saw it, and gently threw the money bag over.

Ningxiang caught it steadily, lowered her head, rolled her almond eyes, and thanked him after sitting down again.

Can't explain why, Lu Cheng felt that she was very good-looking today, and it was rare to have a good atmosphere. He simply tilted his neck and talked to her, "Will you redeem yourself when you go back tomorrow? Then I will wait for you outside the city gate, and I will pull you back when you redeem yourself." go back."

It hinted that he would send her off tomorrow.

Ning Xiang understood, looked at the purse in her hand, was embarrassed for a moment, and persuaded: "No, the mansion has been a little busy recently, I have to wait for a chance to bring up the redemption matter, I can't tell the exact date, Brother Lu I'd better go about my own business, I'll be back in Guo Laosan's car tomorrow, it's been a month..."

Suddenly realizing that she had voluntarily mentioned the matter in the woods, Ning Xiang was annoyed and embarrassed, and lowered her head even lower.

Lu Cheng's mouth was dry, but he apologized solemnly: "I'm sorry, I was too impulsive that day."

Ning Xiang was ashamed to mention and listen, she put her head on her knees and turned to the back of the car, and after a while she said sullenly: "I'm sleepy, call me when I'm almost there, Big Brother Lu."

Lu Cheng liked her shameful appearance so much, he couldn't take his eyes off the back of her head, but he felt sorry for her after all, swallowed a few times, turned to look forward, and reminded her in a hoarse voice: "Then you sleep forward, the sun is poisonous, don't get sunburned." blacken."

The sun exposure has been taken into consideration, isn't he too considerate?
Ning Xiang closed her eyes, at that moment, she didn't know whether she was exposed to the sun or what he said, as if she couldn't hear anything.

There was no more words along the way, the donkey cart slowly walked northward, and when it came to the fork where Xu Qiuer and Amu was standing, Lu Chengcai asked in a low voice: "When you go out tomorrow, is Qiuer Amu the only one who will see you off?"

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Ning Xiang asked in confusion.

Lu Cheng smiled, without turning his head, he said: "Then I'll wait for you here tomorrow, you just need to find an excuse to deal with the two of them."

Ning Xiang is in a hurry, my brother is so foolish, my cousin has already guessed that she and Lu Cheng...

Still wanting to dissuade him, Lu Cheng suddenly greeted Xu Qiu'er and Amu loudly.

Ning Xiang had no choice but to hold back her words, and couldn't help scolding Lu Cheng in her heart as a rascal.

However, she was overthinking, she didn't need to wait until tomorrow, today Xu Qiuer decided that there was something wrong with the two of them, pulled Ningxiang under the persimmon tree after lunch, and asked her seriously, "Does my sister like Big Brother Lu?"

"Don't talk nonsense." Ning Xiang walked back after hearing the words.

Xu Qiuer hurriedly pulled her back, "Sister, what secret do we have? Listen to me, brother Lu is a pretty good person, but if you are with him, it's a sequel, don't you really care? Anan is cute now What if he doesn't like you when he grows up? And the women in the village like to gossip..."

It is not certain whether the redemption will be successful, Ning Xiang doesn't want to worry about it at all now, she turned around and said: "Qiu'er, I borrowed money from Big Brother Lu last time, so he went to pick me up again today, don't think too much OK?"

"Sister is going to redeem herself?" Xu Qiuer immediately diverted her attention and asked excitedly.

Ning Xiang smiled, took her to see her aunt Li, and explained to the mother and daughter in a low voice: "I have enough money now, but the Hou Mansion has raised me for three years with delicious food and good clothes. , it will appear that I am ruthless, so we have to find an excuse. I thought about it. On the fifth day of the fifth day, Qiuer, you deliberately took Amu to Beihe to play, let Amu pretend to be drowning, and the uncle went to the city to find me again, and then I You can use the excuse of going home to take care of my younger brother, and begging my wife to let me out of the house."

In order not to worry her relatives, she has never mentioned the difficulty of leaving the mansion. Now that she has a way, she has to think of a better reason, otherwise the eldest aunt must doubt why she has to go around such a big circle to redeem herself.As for letting the younger brother pretend to be drowning, it was to deal with Pei Jinghan, lest Pei Jinghan come back and be suspicious and order someone to come to the village to inquire.Pei Jinghan is so smart, once he finds out that nothing happened to her younger brother, he will definitely guess that her motive for leaving the house is not pure.

So she can't make a wrong move.

Li's personality is bright and simple, and he has no doubts about his niece's words. He smiled and assured: "Xiang'er, don't worry, your uncle will come to you on the fifth day of the lunar new year." He stretched out his hand and hugged the niece who sold her body away from home at a young age, "Our Xiang'er is finally coming back, wait, my aunt will find you a good home in two years."

The elder's embrace is soft and reassuring, and Ningxiang smells the familiar aura of the eldest aunt, and only hopes that everything goes well.

In the evening, Xu Shouliang and Xu Huai's father and son came back, and they were very happy to learn of this happy event.

Mrs. Li didn't forget to remind them, "Don't say anything, don't let people know that we are pretending!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Amu came out of the hut and ran to this side.

The whole family immediately turned to him, looked at each other, and tacitly decided not to tell the five-year-old about this matter.
