peasant girl

Chapter 61, lending money to Little Lu
Mrs. Zhao is counting the money, and she is full of enthusiasm.

I feel like my day is coming.

These days, she is afraid that Zhu Erlang will get angry and won't keep the money for her, so she dare not go out to buy things.

It's just that with such a large amount of money in her hands, she also wondered where it would be safe to put it?

"Wen Niang!"

When Lu Shi's voice came, Zhao Shi was startled, got up in a panic, quickly stuffed the money into the purse, and then stuffed it under the pillow.

He went to open the door in a panic, and looked at Lu Shi and stammered, "Mother!"

"En!" Lu replied, and entered the room.

She glanced around the room with mischievous eyebrows, sat on the kang, "Wen Niang..."

"Hey!"

"These days, Erlang hunted and made a lot of money!"

Zhao was startled.

Stuttering and unable to speak.

Seeing Zhao's appearance, Lu knew that he had guessed right.

Erlang had indeed made a lot of money these days, and he handed it over to Mrs. Zhao for safekeeping.

"Wen Niang, the current situation at home, alas..." Lu Shi sighed, raising his hand to wipe the corners of his eyes.

Looking at Mrs. Zhao, waiting for her next words.

Mrs. Zhao stammered and faltered, but did not speak.

She knew what was going on at home. There was rice grain in the tank, meat on the beam, and eggs. These days, the eggs would be sold, but they were sold less, and her food was getting better. She felt that she had grown meat.

Seeing that he was going to return without success today, Mrs. Lu simply stopped talking, "Go cook earlier, Erlang and Xiaoxiao will be back in a while!"

"Okay!" Mrs. Zhao responded softly.

Hands are shaking slightly.

Mrs. Lu snorted and left the room. Mrs. Zhao saw her walking away, so she sat on the kang sweating all over, took out the money, and hid it in the cabinet.

But after putting it away, I felt that the cabinet was not safe, so I took it out and put it under the counter. I was afraid that someone would find it and steal it, so I quickly got up and took it under the cabinet, walked to the door, took a closer look, and saw it again.

"What should I do? Where should I put it?" Mrs. Zhao said, frowning.

I went to get it again and put it on my body, but the more than three liang of money was not silver, but copper coins, and it would make noise even if it was heavy on my body.

"call!"

With a sigh of relief, Mrs. Zhao decided to put it in the cabinet and found a key to lock it. When she went out, she felt that it was inappropriate, so she looked for the key again and locked the door of her room before going to the kitchen to cook with peace of mind.

Zhu Zhaodi has been resting these days, no headache, no blurred vision, sitting in the room mending clothes.

Zhu Xiao always wears patched clothes when he enters the mountains, yesterday he was hooked by a thorn and made a big hole, Zhu Xiao couldn't bear to throw it away, and Zhao Di couldn't bear to lose it either, even if he was not good at needlework, he still sewed it seriously.

"Sister, Mother has gone to the kitchen!" Zhu Hua'er said softly, after thinking for a while, "She locked the door!"

Zhu Zhaodi slightly paused the hand holding the needle, and exhaled softly, "Just lock the lock, it has nothing to do with us!"

"Oh!" Zhu Hua'er responded softly, and branched out to Zhu Zhaodi.

"Elder Sister, my fingers are all healed, and you don't feel dizzy. When do you think Second Sister will allow us to go into the mountains?"

"It should be only a few days, what? You want to dig herbs to make money?"

"Well, I want to make more money, a lot of money, and then I will make a dowry for my eldest sister!"

"Pfft!" Zhu Zhaodi laughed out loud, raised her hand and tapped Zhu Hua'er's forehead, "You are still a child, how do you know the dowry, did Xiao Xiao tell you?"

"Hee hee hee, no!"

Zhu Zhaodi smiled and said nothing.

But looking at Zhao's locked door, his heart still hurts slightly.

Damn, even their sisters are on guard.

In the kitchen, Mrs. Zhao is cooking coarse grain porridge.

Little Lu walked into the kitchen slowly, looked at Zhao and said casually, "Second brother and sister, what are you having for dinner?"

These days, Jin Zhi and Jin Hong are eating in the second room. Although Xiao Lu looks down on Zhao Shi, she is afraid of Zhu Xiao, afraid that Zhu Xiao will stab her with scissors again, and every time she thinks of the wound that has grown up, it hurts slightly with.

Because of being afraid of Zhu Xiao, Xiao Lu treated Zhao better.

At least on the face of it.

"Mother said to cook whole grain porridge, and then bake a few pancakes!"

"Oh!"

As Xiao Lu said, she moved closer to Zhao, "Second brother and sister..."

"Sister-in-law?"

"It's something!" Little Lu smiled slightly, "I'm asking you to borrow some money!"

"Ah..." Mrs. Zhao was startled.

The sister-in-law actually asked her to borrow money.

To borrow or not to borrow?
"Second brother and sister, you also know that your elder brother can't earn much money a month, and Ming Guang is studying in the academy, and he needs to spend money everywhere. Not only will he have to take the entrance examination for children soon, but he also needs to spend money. Now I don't have a single penny in my hand. No more, can you lend me two taels of silver, and I will pay you back when I have the money!"

"Sister-in-law, I, I..." Mrs. Zhao hesitated whether to borrow it or not.

She borrowed it, and only one or two more were left.

"Let me think about it!" Mrs. Zhao said softly.

"Okay, okay!" Little Lu smiled and narrowed his eyes.

Zhao said so, there is probably a chance.

Xiao Lu was a little closer to Zhao, "Second brother and sister, let me tell you, as long as you lend me some money, I will tell you a recipe for giving birth to a son, and I will keep it safe for you to give birth to a son!"

"Really, really?" Mrs. Zhao asked hurriedly.

"Of course, you see, I gave birth to two sons. If I didn't hurt my body when I gave birth to Jin Hong, I would definitely have a few more!"

When Mrs. Zhao heard this, her mind became alive.

Now she doesn't even dare to speak hard words to Zhu Erlang, even if she didn't give birth to a son, if she gave birth to a son, she would still be able to straighten her back.

"Sister-in-law, how much do you want to borrow?" Mrs. Zhao asked hurriedly.

"Two taels, but if you have three taels, that's even better!"

"I have it, I have it, sister-in-law, help me look at the pot first, and I'll get it for you right away!"

"Okay, okay, go quickly, I'll watch for you!" Little Lu hurriedly said.

Zhao shi went back to the house happily to get the money.

Thinking of being able to give birth to a son, I feel very happy.

After taking the money and counting it back and forth several times, he took the money to the kitchen and handed it to Xiao Lu, "Sister-in-law, you put it away, it's three taels of silver!"

"Hey, good, good!"

Little Lu was really happy.

Never expected that Mrs. Zhao is so rich.

Zhu Erlang also has the ability to save so much in just a few days.

Zhu Xiao and Zhu Erlang came down from the mountain. It was still Zhu Erlang who went to sell herbs, and Zhu Xiao went home with food.

Let Zhu Zhaodi, Zhu Huaer, Zhu Jinzhi, and Jin Hong share the food, while she went to the kitchen to fetch water for a bath.

But I don't want to see Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Lu talking and laughing in the kitchen, like sisters.

"Xiao Xiao is back!" Xiao Lu shouted.

"Yeah!" Zhu Xiao nodded, fetched hot water and went to take a bath.

From the beginning to the end, he never looked at Mrs. Zhao.

Mrs. Zhao's face turned blue when she was angry.

"What an enemy!"

Little Lu didn't speak.

As for the idiot Mrs. Zhao, if she had such a daughter, she would wake up laughing in her dreams.

During the meal, Zhu Zhaodi, Zhu Hua'er, and Zhu Erlang could all see the harmony between Mrs. Zhao and Mrs. Lu, not to mention Zhu Xiao.

Although Zhu Erlang was puzzled, he didn't ask any further questions.

After the meal was finished, Zhu Erlang distributed the money for selling herbal medicines to Zhu Xiao, went to take a bath and went back to the house. Seeing Mrs. Zhao sitting on the kang with a smirk, he couldn't help saying, "What are you laughing at?"
