Chapter 100
Although it is a plain, the land is barren and the residents are scattered.

It was not easy to find a village to rest in. When it was getting dark, Dai Rong finally drove his carriage to a dilapidated small courtyard.

This is a family living alone. If you look from here to the distance, you can still see sporadic lights, which should be the gathering place of the village.

However, after driving for a long time, people and horses were both tired, and Su Qingyue was still suffering from a cold, so Dai Rong was worried that it would affect her rest, so she reined in her horse and jumped out of the car.

She was just about to knock on the door for the night, when an old lady with gray hair came out with a light on.

She was a little surprised after seeing the carriage, it was obviously not the person she was waiting for.

"Grandma, our brother and sister are passers-by, can you stay overnight with you conveniently?" Dai Rong smiled.

"Oh, our family is so poor that we don't even have any extra bedding!" The old woman showed embarrassment.

"It's okay, we have all these things in the car, just want to rest here and drink some hot water!"

"Okay, if you don't mind, then come in."

The old lady pushed open the fence gate, Dairong pulled the carriage into the yard, unloaded the carriage and tied the carriage to a tree in the corner.

With her support, Su Qingyue came out.

In order to facilitate the journey and avoid unnecessary troubles, he still dressed as a man at the moment.

Wearing a long gown, with two elegant moustache.Because of his illness, his face was not blackened deliberately, so anyone with a discerning eye could tell that this person was weak at a glance.

The old woman put down the lamp, poured hot water for them, and brought out some sweet potatoes.

"I'm sorry, both of you, this is the only food left at home." She said in embarrassment.

"Thank you mother-in-law, I like to eat this very much." Su Qingyue said.

Worrying that she was speaking politely, Dai Rong made a special trip to take out all the food prepared in the car.

A lotus leaf chicken, a roast goose, and peanuts and other foods that are easy to carry and store, Su Qingyue gave them all to the old woman.

"No, how can you ask for things from the guests? Besides, you have to hurry, and you can't do without food on the way!" said the old woman.

"Just give us some of your dried sweet potatoes!" Dai Rong said bluntly.

After a stalemate between the two sides for a long time, the old lady accepted the things.

This dried sweet potato is first steamed and then dried. It tastes soft and sweet.

Su Qingyue, who is usually so picky, made an exception and ate several.

"Mother-in-law, who else is in your family?" Dai Rong asked.

"It used to be a perfect family, but the daughter-in-law was taken away by the bandits, and the son was beaten to death by the bandits, and the old man disappeared in a fit of anger, leaving only me and my granddaughter to depend on each other!" said the old woman.

"Oh, this is really a crime, what kind of bandit did it?"

"It's been more than ten years, and those bandits were finally killed by the government."

"It's really more than enough to die!" Dai Rong gritted his teeth.

"Oh, the world is in chaos, and life is hard for the common people!" said the old woman, beating her legs.

"What about your granddaughter?" Dai Rong asked.

"I went to cut firewood on the embankment, and I should be back by now. I'll go and see..."

Before the old woman got up, she heard footsteps outside.

A seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl walked in from the outside with two braids.

"Ke Ke, you're back!" the old woman said happily.

Just when I was about to tell her that there were guests at home, I saw that the girl's hair was messy, and there were many bloodstains hanging from the wooden branches on her face.

"Oh, what's the matter?" The old woman panicked.

"It's okay!" Ke Ke glanced at the people in the room, wiping away tears indiscriminately.

This is a sensible girl who is limping when she walks, but she doesn't want to show her fragility to make grandma worry.

"Why are your clothes torn? There is still so much blood on your body, where did you get hurt? Tell me what's going on!" The old woman was so anxious that she was about to cry.

Seeing that Ke Ke gritted her teeth and refused to make a sound, Su Qingyue asked Dai Rong to get the medicine.

They are often away from home, and medicine is indispensable.

While comforting the old woman, Su Qingyue said to the same generation: "Help her clean the wound first, and then apply some trauma medicine, so as not to leave marks on the scars."

Dai Rong quickly responded: "Hey! Good!"

She took Ke Ke to wash the wound, changed her clothes, and just turned back.

Facing the caring gazes of several people, Keke couldn't bear it anymore, and her emotions quickly collapsed.

"Xu Yang is not human, yet he wants to kill me!" she cried.

"Who is Xu Yang?" Su Qingyue asked.

"It's Ke Ke's best friend. I said earlier that she is not a good person, but Ke Ke is like being drugged, and obeys her. The two are already engaged, and they will get married after the Chinese New Year!" The old woman was angry. Shaking all over.

She stood up and walked out on crutches.

"Grandma, where are you going?"

"I'm going to ask Xu Yang for clarification! He promised to take good care of Keke, how could he do such a heartless thing!"

"Mother-in-law, don't worry. It's not too late to make a plan after asking the matter clearly. Besides, it's already dark now, and you're getting old. Wouldn't it be a mess to go out now? The most important thing is to take care of Coco right now." Su Qingyue signaled Dai Rong to stop her.

"I'm so mad, why didn't I insist on it at that time!" The old woman beat her chest and said.

"Not married yet, it's not too late to find out now." Su Qingyue said.

With the comfort of her and Dai Rong, the relationship between the old woman and Ke Ke finally stabilized.

"This afternoon, Xu Yang asked me to go out to cut firewood together. The two of us were talking and laughing when we came back, but something happened on the way!" Ke Ke choked up.

Everyone listened patiently, but dared not interrupt her.

"When we were about to go down the embankment, I found a shiny thing not far away. Xu Yang was too timid to approach it, so I went to look at it by myself, but when I got closer, I saw a shiny golden tree! It was waist-high. Tall, the leaves are all golden and shiny, just like the money tree in the New Year pictures! I tried to shake it bravely, and found that there were really treasures falling from it!" Ke Ke said.

"Shake, cash cow!" Dai Rong's tongue was tied.

"Yes, it's a cash cow! I thought this would be great. Not only will Xu Yang and I have a prosperous future, but grandma can also live a good life! So I happily called Xu Yang over, and he saw the money. Seeing that he wanted to monopolize the precious tree, he pushed me off the embankment! If I hadn’t been lucky enough to be fenced by the tree, I would have drowned in the river by now!” Ke Ke cried loudly.

"This damned bastard has the same morals as Dai Qing!" Dai Rong said angrily.

"Where's that tree?" Su Qingyue asked.

"By the time I got out of the deep ditch and climbed up, the tree had already been dug away by Xu Yang, hoot...I only picked up a leaf. You see! I really didn't lie!"

Coco said, and took out a leaf.

Su Qingyue took it over and looked at it, and found that it was a golden leaf, as thin as a cicada's wing, the size of a fingernail, and the lines on the back of the leaf were clearly visible under the light!
Even a skilled craftsman may not be able to make such lifelike leaves!

"I didn't expect that there is really a cash cow in the world!" Dai Rong exclaimed.

"This is not a cash cow, this is a reminder!" Su Qingyue frowned.
