Lu family's daughter-in-law

Chapter 84 If you want to be cheeky, you have to find the right girl
The meal was ready, and everyone sat around the square table.

Square tables with seating for two on each side.Li's couple sat on the north side, Xu Huai sat next to his father, Xu Qiu'er sat on the other side, Ningxiang and his younger brother sat under Li's head, and the newcomer Guan Ping occupied the south side alone.Mrs. Li asked her nephew and niece to move over there and put the soup bowl in front of her so that she could serve everyone rice.

Xu Huai ate with his head buried in his meal. For a country man, eating a meal with a lot of soup will inevitably make a little noise. Now that Xu Huai eats at the same table with the girl he fell in love with at first sight, he eats faster and his voice is louder.Xu Qiu'er secretly took a look at Guan Ping, although Guan Ping didn't show any disgust, she felt ashamed, so she tapped her brother's big foot with the tip of her shoe.

Xu Huai looked at his sister, knowing that he was losing his composure, so he quickly slowed down.

Mrs. Li didn't pay attention to the small movements of her children. Seeing that Guan Ping was only eating pimple soup with a bowl and did not touch the tofu mixed with shallots on the table, she enthusiastically invited her to eat.Guan Ping has already experienced the behavior of Li's mother and daughter, so in order to prevent Li from nagging, he sipped his chopsticks and went to pick up tofu.

When he stretched out his hand, a section of thin white wrist was revealed.

Xu Huai's eyes seemed to grow on the top, and his eyes were straight.

Mrs. Li also saw it, but she thought of something else. She looked at Guan Ping and her niece, and said with a smile: "Miss Guan is only two years older than Xiang'er, but she is quite tall. The market, let's go to the market together, and Auntie will pull some cloth for you to make clothes."

Guan Ping had known for a long time that Ningxiang's clothes didn't fit her well, and she was okay standing, but when she sat down or worked, her sleeves and trouser legs moved up.Hearing what Mrs. Li said, she nodded and said calmly: "Aunt Lao, I wonder if there is a pawn shop in the town? I picked up an emerald finger ring before, because it is not easy to hide money in the fleeing famine, so I have never pawned it. Now it is settled. I'm going to be a pawnbroker for some money. My aunt will provide me with food and lodging, and I can't let my aunt spend money on other things."

The girl has a strong character, and Mrs. Li likes her more and more, and said with a smile: "If there is a pawn shop, it is a black heart, and the price is not much for valuable things. After eating, you can show it to Xiang'er, and let her help you estimate the value. , so as not to have nothing in mind and suffer a big loss. Xiang'er has worked in the Hou Mansion for four years and will read this."

Guan Ping hummed.

Ningxiang glanced at her and continued to eat her own.

After dinner, the three of them went back to the west courtyard.

Amu went to pee, Ning Xiang stood in the kitchen, pointed at Westinghouse and asked Guan Ping: "Are you sleeping in Westinghouse, or do you still have to stare at me?"

Guan Ping walked directly to Westinghouse.

Ning Xiang was panicked, but she also understood that Pei Jinghan was to blame for this matter, and Guan Ping was just following Pei Jinghan's orders.Ning Xiang would naturally not like her if Guan Ping showed his might, but Ning Xiang couldn't be ruthless if Guan Ping acted as if he was willing to work hard at her disposal.

Back in the east room, Ningxiang dug out a quilt she had made a while ago from the cabinet, and put it on the drying rack to dry.

Amu rubbed his eyes and came out of the hut in the east courtyard.

"Wash your hands and go to bed, my sister will go in in a while." Ning Xiang said softly to her younger brother.

Amu hummed sleepily, and went into the room to sleep.

Ning Xiang sat on the small bench, staring at the door in a daze.

Inside the west room, Guan lay flat on the old but clean kang mat, listening to the movement outside, wondering what she was doing outside.

Soon footsteps were heard.

Guan Ping sat up.

However, the footsteps stopped after about twenty steps out of the kitchen door, and then walked back.

When the little girl walked towards the west room, Guan Ping immediately lay down again and closed his eyes.

Ning Xiang came in with a set of quilts in her arms, saw her lying there straight, guessed that she couldn't fall asleep, and put the quilts heavily on the bed.

Guan Ping opened his eyes and saw the extra quilt on the kang, which was a new one, and thought that Ning Xiang was drying the quilt for her when she was sitting outside. Girl, "I'm here to spy on you, so you don't hate me?"

"I hate what you do, I know you don't want to take on this job." Ning Xiang turned and leaned against the edge of the kang, lowering her head and said.

Guan Ping pursed his lips.

She didn't say a word, Ningxiang glanced at her, and asked anxiously: "You, do you know when he will come back? If you can tell."

Guan Ping said honestly: "I don't know anything about the son's movements except for errands."

Ning Xiang clenched her hands in disappointment, was silent for a moment, then walked out, "Go to sleep."

He left the house in a blink of an eye.

Guan Ping stared at the door, and heard her talking softly with her brother in Dongwu, telling stories to him tenderly.

She didn't touch the quilt, leaned against the wall and closed her eyes to rest.

After breakfast the next day, Mrs. Li took the children to go to the market. Considering that Guan Ping had a valuable emerald finger ring on his body, he was afraid that the thieves would miss him when he left the pawn shop, so Mrs. Li called his tall and strong son. "Boss will go with us and come back to help carry things."

Xu Huai was overjoyed, and when his mother turned around, he looked at the girl next to his cousin.

On the way, Xu Huai walked behind the girls all the time, keeping his eyes on Guan Ping, and the more he saw the girl's tall figure, the more he liked it.

He was very beautiful in his heart, Guan Ping only felt like a glow on his back.When she was young, no man would look at her as a yellow-haired girl. When she grew up, she became a secret guard, surrounded by cold-blooded and ruthless people, and often went out alone to do errands secretly, and no man ever harassed her. She never thought that she would come to the simplest village. Huai hugged him, and was followed by him inexplicably.

He is clearly afraid of her, why does he still like her?

Compared with his two beautiful younger sisters, what did he like about her?

Guan Ping is not afraid of being treated badly to her, but only if someone treats her well. He only stayed at Xu's house for one night, and he was exhausted by the family.

It was like a wolf entering the sheep pen. The sheep were not afraid of her, but they all took the initiative to feed her on their necks.

The more I think about it, the more irritable I become.

Ning Xiang was not as comfortable as Guan Ping, and the closer she got to Donglin Village, the more nervous she became. She was afraid of meeting the Lu family, and she didn't relax until she left Donglin Village.

The market outside the town was still lively, so Mrs. Li took the children to the inside of the town first.

Early in the morning, when the pawn shop just opened, the shopkeeper sat behind the counter, glanced at everyone, and asked lazily, "What do you want to pawn?"

Guan Ping walked over under the watchful eyes of everyone in Xu's family, put the jade ring finger on the counter, and said coldly: "My girl said that the finger ring is worth five taels of silver. If you accept it, give me the money immediately. If you don't accept it, I will leave immediately." people."

Unable to get angry with the Xu family, the overqualified female secret guard turned her anger on the pawnshop shopkeeper.

The shopkeeper was dumbfounded, and stared blankly at the girl opposite.Most of the people who came here to be things were down and out, and it was the first time he had encountered such a master, but seeing how imposing she was, could it be that there were really good things?
The shopkeeper immediately looked at the things on the counter.

Seeing it clearly, nothing showed on his face, but the hand underneath was clenched tightly with excitement.

For such a good product, let alone five taels, he is willing to pay even if it doubles in price.

But he still frowned and tasted it pretendingly.

Not far away, Mrs. Li whispered to her niece, "It's really worth five taels?"

Ning Xiang nodded lightly and smiled wryly in her heart. Pei Jinghan arranged for Guan Ping to sell his fingers so as not to spend his own money. It only cost five taels, probably because he was afraid of asking too much. Guan Ping had no reason to stay in Xu's house, right?Otherwise, selling it for dozens of taels would be enough for her to rent a house in the town.

In Li's eyes, Wuliang is a windfall, and looking at Guan Ping standing there upright, he sincerely admires, "The children of the poor are already in charge of the family, Xiang'er is stable, and Miss Guan is more stable than you. Look , when everything is so imposing." Those who didn't know thought it was the down-and-out daughter of a wealthy family, losing their money without losing their integrity.

After boasting, he turned around and told his son in a low voice, "Follow Miss Guan for a while, and be careful not to let anyone steal it."

Xu Huai's eyes were firm.

Who dares to steal her money, he will beat him to the ground!

The shopkeeper wanted to lower the price again, but Guan Ping grabbed the wrench and was about to leave, but the shopkeeper hurriedly stopped him, and gave the money happily.

Seeing her, Mrs. Li held Guan Ping's arm after going out and regretted, "It's still going to be lower."

Guan Ping held her arm stiffly.

Fortunately, Li Shi let go after whispering.

When they came to the market, Mrs. Li went to pick the cloth first, and Xu Qiuer dragged the expressionless Guan Ping to buy the little things her daughter liked.Ningxiang led her younger brother and walked on the left side of her cousin with serious thoughts, secretly looking for the Lu family in the crowd, not sure if she hoped to meet them or not.

Xu Huai shouldered a great responsibility, and no matter how crowded the surroundings were, he always followed Guan Ping three steps behind.

Xu Huai frowned and looked back when his shoulder was suddenly bumped by someone behind. When he turned around, he saw a short man with a short dagger under his sleeve.

"Bold!"

There really are thieves!
Burning with anger, Xu Huai pushed away the person next to him, and stretched out his hand to catch the thief.

However, before he could meet the thief, Guan Ping had already shot him one step ahead. He shifted his body slightly to avoid the dagger, and with a turn of his right hand, he grabbed the thief's wrist, and his left hand held the thief's left shoulder at the same time, pulling and pushing. With a click, the thief's right arm was dislocated by her...

The eyes of the people around who saw this scene widened, and even the thief who was thrown on the ground was stunned for a long time before getting up awkwardly, and burrowing into the crowd like a mouse crossing the street.People with good deeds chased after her, but more people stayed where they were, praising Guan Ping's skills, and even some people called her a heroine.

Guan Ping didn't like being watched, so he dragged Xu Qiu'er away quickly, and gave Ning Xiang a look before leaving.

Ningxiang instinctively led her younger brother to chase after her.

Xu Huai was the last to react, but when he quickly chased after him, his eyes were still full of shock.

"Sister Guan, have you ever learned Kung Fu?"

When they reached a remote place, Xu Qiuer asked excitedly, even Amu, who was afraid of Guan Ping, approached her with bright eyes and looked at her with admiration.

Ning Xiang didn't expect that Pei Jinghan would send such a powerful "servant" over, and looked at Guan Ping with a complicated expression.

Guan Ping thought of an excuse before making a move. His eyes swept over sister Ningxiang, and finally fell on Xu Huai's face. He looked at him for the first time, and then in the man's unexpected and nervous eyes, he said lightly: "I don't know kung fu!" , It’s just that when I was fleeing famine, I met an expert, someone wanted to bully me, he saved me, and then taught me two tricks, one to deal with thieves who want to steal money, and the other to deal with villains who want to rob sex.”

After speaking, his eyes returned to Xu Qiuer.

In Xu Qiuer's eyes, although Guan Ping was not smiling at this time, he looked very close.The little girl was so happy that she hugged Guan Ping's arm and begged her to come home in the afternoon and teach her these two tricks, and even asked her cousin to learn them too.Amu, who was ignored and didn't understand what robbery meant, became anxious, hugged Guan Ping's thigh and begged her to teach him too.

Only Xu Huai saw the threat in Guan Fangcai's eyes.

Is it to warn him not to have ill intentions towards her again?

When he was tempted for the first time, he suffered a merciless blow. Xu Huai couldn't get it off his face, and pretended to look away to cover up his thoughts.

He didn't want to bully her, he just liked her.

It's a pity that she didn't like it, and hated him to the point of threatening, so Xu Huai didn't dare to pester him with the brazenness as her sister said.

So on the way back to Xu's house, Guan Ping didn't feel the man's prying eyes anymore, just like taking off two bags of rice from his shoulders, and he felt relaxed.
