Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 56 The Three Cheeky Lu Family Brothers

Under a lush old locust tree, Lu Ding yawned, opened his eyes, and followed the sound casually to look at Guanlu.

Saw a black-topped carriage.

Ms. Xu will definitely not take a carriage when she comes back.

The red sun was setting, Lu Ding took one last look at the back of the carriage, made sure that there were no more mule carts on the road, and got up to go home.

He walked obliquely towards the path leading to Liuxi Village, and after walking a few steps, he suddenly heard the sound of hooves stop.Lu Ding looked over casually, and saw a girl in light green trousers got out of the carriage with a bundle, said something to the driver, and then retreated to the side of the road, with a slender figure, like a quietly blooming flower in the weeds Small flowers, slim and graceful.When the carriage turned to go back, she continued to look at it for a while, as if thinking about seeing off something, then turned east and set foot on this path.

From far away, Lu Ding couldn't see the girl's face clearly, but he had a vague feeling that this was the girl from the Xu family that his elder brother was thinking of!
So should he hide or go out and meet her?
In just a moment, Lu Ding made a decision.

He walked briskly down the road.

The south of the road is a crop field, and the north of the road is deserted due to the uneven terrain near the fork. There are only a few poplars and locust trees of different thicknesses, and I don’t know who planted them.Ning Xiang raised her head and walked forward, and soon noticed a young man rushing towards the road, she glanced at it a few times, but didn't pay attention.

Until the other party stopped in front and looked back to her side.

At this moment, the two were about a hundred steps apart, and Ning Xiang was the first to notice the other's pair of peach blossom eyes that resembled Lu Cheng.Turning back with a hint of doubt, she made sure that there was no one else behind her. When Ning Xiang looked over again, she couldn't help slowing down her pace. The more she looked, the more she felt that the young man's stature was very similar to that of Lu Ding who went to pick her up at her door that morning.

"Is it Lu Ding?" Ning Xiang asked tentatively.

Lu Ding didn't hear it.

Looking at the woman in green who was getting closer and closer, looking at her fair and beautiful face, especially those clear and beautiful almond eyes, he was like a vulgar farmer who suddenly met a fairy. There is such a beautiful girl in the village, and I can't believe that she may become his sister-in-law.

But if she wasn't so good, how could the elder brother be so persistent?

What he couldn't understand before, but after seeing the real person, Lu Ding suddenly understood his brother.

The young man looked straight at her, with no malice but pure amazement, Ning Xiang blushed slightly, because she was not sure whether he was Lu Ding, Ning Xiang stopped talking and walked forward slowly.

"Sister, have you redeemed yourself?" Lu Ding quickly came back to his senses, knowing that she was Miss Xu without asking, and shouted a little cautiously.

It's really Lu Ding.

Ning Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, otherwise a man taller than her would suddenly appear and wait for her to approach, which would be a bit scary.

After confirming her identity, Ning Xiang smiled at Lu Ding, and while groping for the inside of her bag, she smiled and said, "Yes, why are you here?"

After redeeming herself, she is no longer a slave, and she no longer has to leave the house. Ning Xiang feels relaxed and smiles very nicely.

Lu Ding didn't look any further, this is the girl the elder brother likes, she is the future sister-in-law, no matter how good-looking she is, he has to obey the rules.

"My elder brother asked me to guard it. Today is the fifth day." Lu Ding said in a normal tone.

Why hide it?Let Ms. Xu know that her eldest brother is looking forward to her redemption, so that she can understand her elder brother's heart for her better.

Ning Xiang never expected that Lu Ding would say this, let alone that Lu Cheng would send his younger brother to watch her when she redeemed her body. After being stunned for a while, her little face turned red.Knowing that the more silent the more embarrassing, Ning Xiang whispered to him as she walked forward, "When did you come?"

Lu Ding deliberately took a step behind, and said honestly: "I came before lunch at noon, and when I was about to go home, my sister came."

"Then you didn't eat at noon?" Ning Xiang frowned, a little annoyed that Lu Cheng was messing around.

Lu Ding thought about the two slaps he received from his elder brother last night, hesitated for a while, and finally told the truth, "Second brother cooks ahead of time, I came here after eating."

Ning Xiang finally felt more comfortable, otherwise, even if it was not her intention for Lu Ding to come and wait, she would feel guilty.

However, thinking that Lu Ding was instigated by Lu Cheng last time, Pi Xing Daiyue came to pick her up, and then was sent back by Lu Cheng. She couldn't sleep well, Ning Xiang couldn't help but feel sorry for Lu Ding, and said softly: "He's not at home. , why do you listen to him so honestly, if this kind of thing happens in the future, you pretend to agree to him, don’t really come and wait, it’s so good to stay indoors on such a hot day.”

Hearing the gentle and soft voice, Lu Ding felt comfortable all over, and the place where he was beaten by his elder brother didn't hurt anymore.

It's better to be sister-in-law.

Such a good sister-in-law must help her elder brother marry her back.

Looking at the ground, Lu Ding finally spoke for his elder brother, "Brother cares about you, he has no time to work in the orchard, I should have helped him, sister, don't blame my brother, he is always good to us."

The third son of the Lu family, who has always been reticent, either does not speak, or really wants to speak, and is no less eloquent than his two elder brothers.

Ning Xiang was blushed again by these words, and she didn't know how to continue, Ning Xiang looked around, handed over the money bag she just took out, and said in a low voice: "Madam is kind, confiscating my ransom money, this is I borrowed 20 taels from your elder brother earlier, you can return it to him for me, and thank him for me."

Mrs. Du is really kind, not only did she not ask for her money, but she also sent the nurse in charge to accompany her to the government office to cancel her slave status, worrying that she would not be able to wait for the car to go home, so she ordered the coachman to give her a ride.There is no way to repay this kind of kindness with incense, so I can only pray for Du Shi when I burn incense and worship Buddha during festivals.

Only then did Lu Ding know about the money that his elder brother lent her to her. He looked at the purse and found it confiscated. He will ask you when he is free. The second brother is still waiting for me to go back, so I will go first!"

"You, you wait!" Ning Xiang hurriedly chased him. She was afraid of seeing Lu Cheng, afraid of seeing his expectant eyes, so she could meet Lu Ding and then face Lu Cheng when she was free to pay back the money. Fortunately, how could Lu Ding run away?

The two ran one after the other, and soon Lu Ding threw Ning Xiang far away.

After running so far on a hot day, Ning Xiang was sweating all over, panting and looking at the young man in front of her who stopped and he stopped to make it clear that he deliberately didn't want to collect money for his elder brother, Ning Xiang wanted to cry but had no tears.I thought Lu Ding was honest, but I didn't expect to be as cunning as his brother!
"Lu Ding, if you don't stop, I'll throw things away!" Ning Xiang threatened, unable to run away from him.

Lu Ding didn't believe it at all, and turned back and said: "My sister can throw it away if she wants to. My elder brother said, if you can't pay back the money, you can get someone to pay for it!"

These words are even more shameless, and the aroma is so strong that I regret the concern for Lu Ding just now.

Over there, Lu Ding saw that Liuxi Village was in front of him, and he expected that his sister-in-law would be safe in the future, so he continued to run home in peace.

All the way back to Donglin Village.

The second child, Lu Yan, was sitting in the yard washing the family's clothes. Anan pushed a small wooden cart and chased the general all over the yard. He didn't feel too hot under the sun.After chasing to the gate and seeing the third uncle, Anan immediately let go of the wooden cart and walked towards the third uncle, "Hug!"

Lu Ding picked up his nephew.

"It seems that I came back earlier today than the day before yesterday." After washing the last pair of trousers, Lu Yan teased while drying them.

Lu Ding remembered the revenge of his informant last night, ignored him, hugged Anan and sat in the shadow of the wall, lowered his head and asked, "Anan, guess who the third uncle saw."

Anan didn't know, and stared blankly at the third uncle, a little foot deliberately stepped on the third uncle's big foot to play.

Lu Yan's ears perked up, and he asked in surprise, "Sister-in-law really came back after redeeming herself?"

Lu Cheng who walked to the gate happened to hear these words, and looked straight at the third brother with a pair of peach blossom eyes.

Both the big and the small saw him inside. Lu Ding had something to say to his brother, and walked over with Anan in his arms. The two brothers met in the courtyard.

"Brother, my sister-in-law is back, and she said that Mrs. Hou's mansion didn't ask for her redemption money." Lu Ding squinted at the second brother who came over, and said in a low voice.

"Don't tell me that my sister-in-law gave you the silver?" Lu Yan asked with a frown, and immediately thought of the key to the problem.

Lu Ding immediately said: "I don't want it."

Lu Yan breathed a sigh of relief, and then the two brothers looked at their elder brother together.

Lu Cheng took the son from his third brother's arms expressionlessly, and walked forward.

"Daddy." Anan saw the corners of his father's lips curled up, and touched his face with a smile.

Lu Cheng couldn't bear it any longer, and kissed his son forcefully, "Good boy, Anan, Daddy will take you to see your mother tomorrow."

Anan hasn't seen his mother for another month, but he already remembers that he has a mother who is very good to him. Hearing what his father said, the little guy immediately smiled, kicked his two short legs happily, Call mother crisply.

The Xu family is also in a happy atmosphere at this time.

"The madam confiscated your money?" As the housekeeper's wife, Li Shi values ​​money the most, and the happiest thing is that her niece has a lot of money all of a sudden, and she hugged Amu happily and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we Amu will have money in the future married a wife."

Amu didn't want to marry a daughter-in-law, so she looked at her sister and smiled, "I live with my sister, I don't want a daughter-in-law!"

Xu Qiu'er pinched her cousin's face with a smile, and said with a snort, "It's nice to say now, but you'll have to do it when you grow up. Don't forget about your sister when you have a daughter-in-law!" He glanced at his brother and said, "So, don't marry a wife and forget about your sister."

Xu Huai didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and stretched out his hand to tap his sister's forehead.

Xu Shouliang scolded his daughter, "Qiu'er is not young anymore, learn more from your sister in the future, and stop talking nonsense all day long."

"Yes, yes, anyway, my sister is good at everything." Xu Qiu'er pretended to eat and said authentically.

Ning Xiang looked at the family members around her, and heard them say these ordinary homely words, but felt that they were more beautiful than any other tunes.

It's good to be home.

"By the way, should Xiang'er go back to live in the west courtyard, or sleep in the same room with Qiu'er?" Li Shi suddenly thought about the problem of sleeping.

Ningxiang looked at Fang Zi at home, with nostalgia in her eyes, "Go back to the west courtyard, elder brother still lives in the west room, and Amu and I sleep in the east room."

That was her home, and now that she's back, the house should be lively again.

Get up early in the morning to tidy up the house and clean the yard, go to the fields to do laundry and cooking during the day, close the door at night and go to sleep, and live a real life.
