Traveling through the mountains and fields to be leisurely

Chapter 199 'Don't ask for help'

"You can't help it, old lady, it's still appropriate for you to wear such an expensive thing all the time."

Even if she doesn't recognize jewelry anymore, Lan Xiuting can tell that this jasper hairpin is worth a lot of money. Although the old lady gave it sincerely, she would never accept it.
"Why are you so polite, girl? I don't treat you as an outsider, or is it something you dislike old women?"

Mrs. An's face darkened a little, making it impossible for Lan Xiuting to pick it up, or not to pick it up, so she looked at her second brother for help. Lan Erzhuang also knew the value of this thing, and he was not sure whether to accept it or not. Then, I had to look at my daughter,

"The meeting gift given by the old lady, sister-in-law, you can go ahead, it is also the old lady's wish."

This thing is really unworthy of her identity, Lan Xiuting felt hot when she picked it up, and she didn't know what to do with it.

"Hey, this is for the young man, don't be disgusted with it."

Lan Sizhuang saw that his sister had accepted the old lady's things, so he had no choice but to take it, but it was a fine jade pendant. When he saw the silk ribbons on the jade pendant, he knew it was for pressing robes. Si Zhuang has seen customers in the store wearing such jade pendants around their waists, but none of them seem to be as good as the one in his hand.

"Thank you, old lady, for the reward."

After all, he has been exercising in the store for two or three years. Lan Sizhuang's attitude is much more natural and generous than Lan Xiuting's. Mrs. An couldn't help but nodded. The one who got on the stage, the old lady of the farmer in the country, has seen her before. When she saw her, she was trembling with fright, and she couldn't speak well, let alone such a natural response. She kowtowed to the ground, just I can't say anything, and looking at the people of the Lan family, from the first meeting to this moment, when facing themselves, they are quite comfortable. Although this little girl shrinks a little bit, but Compared with those country people, it is really good.

"Old madam, we met for the first time, and we don't have anything to sell at home. This is considered as a tribute to you by the juniors. It's not expensive, but it's more practical. Please don't dislike it, old madam."

When the old lady gave Lan Sizhuang the jade pendant, Lan Lingxue quietly took out a "Don't Ask for People" made of cold iron wood in the space, which is actually the modern "Old Man Music" and "Itchy Scratch". This one is not as precious as the jasper cloud hairpin, but it is superior in its special and rare material, and its exquisite workmanship. It is made into the shape of an orchid bergamot. Most old people must like this shape. This is Lan Lingxue's early hairpin. It was ready, and she wanted to wait for a suitable opportunity to give it to the old lady, but in this situation, she had to take it out in advance, as a gift from the fourth uncle and sister-in-law, and stuffed it into the hands of the fourth uncle.
"Don't dislike it, don't dislike it, it's really a good thing, the shape is good, the meaning is good, and this object is also good."

The object in the old lady's mouth refers to its material. As soon as the object is in her hands, the old lady can feel that it is different. It is definitely not carved out of ordinary wood. No need to ask, it must be Lingxue girl Otherwise, there would never be such handicrafts and materials in the countryside.

Although Lan Lingxue didn't hand over the things to the old lady, the old lady still accepted her favor. If it hadn't been prepared early in the morning, how could it have been taken out at such a good time, and it was missed and valued by others. It must be very pleasant, the old lady touched 'Don't ask for help', and she was very happy, and when no one was paying attention, she quietly mouthed to Lan Lingxue,

"Girl, don't worry!"

Lan Lingxue was a little twitchy, and the old lady saw through her tricks. Isn't that a little too much? No matter how you say it, it can be regarded as a kind of deception.
"grandmother--"

Of course Mrs. An knew what Lan Lingxue wanted to say, so she hurriedly stopped her,

"I really like this 'don't ask for help'. When people get old, there will be various inconveniences. This is very practical."

Hearing what the old lady said, Lan Sizhuang and Lan Xiuting's tense moods were finally relaxed, and they said in unison,

"It's good that the old lady likes it."

The two saluted each respectfully, and then looked at Lan Lingxue at the same time, with endless gratitude and admiration in their eyes. My eldest niece is not only talented, but also has vision. If you prepare any gift, you can get the old man people's favor.

After seeing the old lady, the Lan family all retreated except for the small fence, so that the old lady can be quiet for a while. When she is old, there will always be noise when there are many people. In fact, the old lady is not afraid of noise. She likes to be lively, but Now that I have a small fence with me, other people are not so important,

"Let's talk about Xiuting now, and see what to do about it?"

The family went back to Lin Zihao's house in the west, sat together and began to discuss Lan Xiuting's marriage. The final result was unanimously agreed. Let's see how the Hao family boy is. It doesn't matter if you are very smart, hard work is the most important thing, and then character, this must be checked out, if the character is not good, then everything is out of the question, if it is true as he said, he tried hard, but suffered In case of trouble, the Lan family is not a stingy family. It is absolutely no problem to extend your hand to help them. As long as the farmers are willing to work hard, no one has a bad life, and they can eat and drink no matter how bad they are. I gave it to Li Shuanzhu, Manager Li. Now that he is in the town, he can be regarded as an important figure. It is not a big embarrassment for him to entrust this matter to him. It is just to inquire about someone.

After Xiao Zhuzi reported the general situation of each shop to Lan Lingxue, he hurried back to the town. He wanted to find out who the Hao family boy was from as soon as possible, and he had to wait for the big one to find out the account books and so on. The lady checked again when she came to town, and the news came back quickly, which also surprised the Lan family.
"What did you say? Say it again?"

Lan Erzhuang thought that he heard wrongly, there is such a man?Lan Sizhuang, Lan Xiuting, Lan Lingxue, Xiao Hoe, and Lin Qiutang were also dumbfounded when they heard it. It was beyond people's imagination. This was the result that the whole family couldn't guess. In what Xiao Zhuzi just said,
"Boy from the Hao family, when he was at home, he was quite willing to do it. At least he could do the work at home. He could handle all the work at home and in the field. Although he was not very capable, he It's not bad for a farm boy, and then he met Miss Lan in the town and was... robbed, "

Xiao Zhuzi wanted to say that he was being molested, but when the words came to his lips, he found that the words were inappropriate, so he quickly changed the words. Fortunately, everyone was listening to the result with all their attention, and no one paid much attention to his words.

"He stood up bravely and broke up those idlers. Naturally, he gained the trust of Miss Lan, and then he came to the village to propose, but was blocked by the old lady. He vowed to go out to earn money It's not false, he has indeed been away from home for two years, under the banner of going out to make money, but he didn't do anything to make money. He walked with a few people, and those people were the ones who stopped Miss Lan rascal boy.”

The members of the Lan family were speechless after hearing what Xiaozhuzi said. Putting the matter into modern times, such a thing is too unbelievable. You don't need to talk about it, everyone understands that his brave deeds and heroism to save the beauty must have been premeditated, otherwise how could he be with these bastards? Let's go out of town together.

"Then, what did he do outside the town?"

Although Lan Erzhuang was angry, he still wanted to find out, because he was straightforward in his bones, he always didn't want to think of others so badly, but he still held some hope, even if the Hao family boy followed such a person, He also hoped that the boy from the Hao family really wanted to make a living outside. He even ignored Xiao Zhuzi and said, "He is making money in the name of making money, but he didn't do it." , I still hope that my sister's good deeds can be fulfilled, but the fact that he is hit hard, no matter how good he thinks, he has to live up to that person, right?

"He was outside with those people, and continued to do what they did to Miss Lan. First, he took aim at the person, and then someone robbed and molested him, and he came forward to save the person."

What I'm talking about now is not Miss Lan's own business, Xiao Zhuzi's words mean no pressure.

"Next, he came forward to save someone, what do you want?"

Although it was still Lan Erzhuang who was asking questions, Lan Xiuting's face was already pale, and she could already guess the general idea. Although she couldn't say that she fell in love with this person, in her heart, this person was at least brave and Frankly, she didn't recognize the person who came to propose marriage at that time, only this person, she came into contact with and got to know a little bit, she naturally put her mind on him, even if she saw him in despair two years later, she She didn't think about the bad, especially when her mother rejected him and found an old widower for herself, he became the hero who saved the world in Lan Xiuting's heart. How much she hoped that he could save her, just like how she used to It was like saving her from the hands of the bad guys, pulling her out of the fire pit so that she would have the courage to face a new life. How could she have imagined that he was such a despicable and nasty person? Forgive the scum.

"After that, he went to other people's homes to ask for marriage, but all the girls' families rejected his marriage proposal without exception, and only offered some money as compensation. They didn't force people to agree to marry, Getting money is their ultimate goal, so they cheated one family after another. Although they could get some money, it was probably because the money came so easily, they spent it lavishly, and they didn't have any savings in their hands, so Just before he was about to end his two-year trip and was about to return to town, they decided to make a bigger deal, but in the end, they fell short and hit the iron plate. An official in the court hall was also swaying sideways in their area. The Hao family boy and the others were too impatient. Fazi, he escaped back."
