Chapter 91: Scolded
Jiang Ping's face changed instantly, but it was just a moment, and in a blink of an eye, she returned to her original appearance, but that beautiful face was as cold as frost at the moment. Seeing Jiang Ping like this, Ye Xiaoyu was also a little frightened, and didn't dare to speak without permission, just stood quietly aside.
"Xiaoyu, you go back first, I still have some things to deal with."
Jiang Ping was silent for a while, and said to Ye Xiaoyu, who was standing next to her.
After Ye Xiaoyu left, Jiang Ping returned to her own house in Beiyuan and called Yinhua to call the fifth child over. Even if the fifth child is a relative of her mother's family, this kind of thing that harms the interests of the Lu family can't be tolerated.
"Madame, are you looking for me?"
Since they all live in Beiyuan, after a while, the fifth child came. At this time, he was hunched over and saluted Jiang Ping.
"Well, I suddenly remembered something and wanted to ask you."
Jiang Ping was leaning on the Taishi chair and drinking tea leisurely, when she heard the voice of the fifth child, she only raised her eyes slightly.
"Madam, you said, as long as I know what I know, I will tell you the truth, even if I don't know, I will try my best to tell you."
Lao Wuyi's mouth was like smearing oil on his mouth, and he was very handy with flattery.
"It's not that exaggerated, aren't we having a good harvest this year, I have a relative who wants to ask me for some sweet potatoes, I just want to ask you, is there any left of that thing now?"
Jiang Ping looked at the fifth child with a pleasant face.
"Huh? This is really unfortunate, madam, I have divided all of our harvest this year according to your instructions, even the subordinates have been divided, and the rest has been used to make dried sweet potatoes, and now there is nothing left. â
Lao Wu lowered his head and replied, he was annoyed to death in his heart, he had known that if Jiang Ping wanted it, the 3 piles of sweet potatoes and taro in the backyard would not be taken and thrown away, and now he lost a good opportunity to tie his knots. However, Jiang Ping's family doesn't seem to have any relatives except for her own lineage, right?
"Nothing left? Didn't we leave any of us behind? So what are we going to eat next year? â
Jiang Ping casually glanced at the fifth child standing in front of him, his seemingly casual eyes, but with sternness.
"Oh, don't worry, this lady, we have long been kept, and we have picked the best ones, those that have been stored in the zĂ i granary. Madame, shall we take some out of the granary for your relatives? â
Lao Wu asked with some concern. Although this year is a bumper harvest, but he is lazy, after those sweet potatoes are shipped, he left a part of the kitchen, and gave a part to the old mother, maid, and family who have a good relationship, and the rest of them were originally intended to be put into the granary, because they were too lazy to tidy up, so they were piled up directly in the backyard first. By the time he remembered it, the piles of things, the rotting rot, the sprouting sprouts, were no longer edible. Therefore, there is a very serious problem now, there is no sweet potato harvested this year in the granary of the Lu family. Lao Wu originally planned to move a little to fill it by himself, but he didn't expect Jiang Ping to start asking so soon.
"It's fine, but then again, I don't think it's been a long time since I've been to the granary, so let's go check it out now......"
Jiang Ping said along with the fifth child's words.
"The granary is a little far from here, I'll just go and get some back, and Madame won't have to run back and forth......"
The most worrying thing happened, and the fifth child's nervous sweat came out.
"Isn't it on the East Wing? What is far away. â
Jiang Ping was about to stand up as she spoke.
"I'll just go get it myself, and I don't have to bother my wife to run around."
Lao Wu's voice trembled a little. Although this lady is her cousin, if she starts a fire, even her own brother will not be of any use to her.
"It's okay not to go to the granary, then you can accompany me to another place."
Jiang Ping got up from the chair, skipped the fifth child directly, walked out of the room, and Yinhua, who had been standing outside the door, silently followed.
Lao Wu was confused, and he didn't know what kind of medicine was sold in Jiang Ping's gourd, so he could only follow quickly.
When Lao Wu found out that the destination was the backyard, his heartbeat suddenly became a little faster, obviously the weather was so cold, but he felt that it was too hot to do it, and he kept wiping sweat on his forehead.
But after thinking about it, I felt that it was impossible, I had obviously asked someone to come here to clean up today yesterday, and those people who cleaned up had even paid their salaries, how could Jiang Ping still find out? Subconsciously looked around the backyard, the surroundings were empty, except for some firewood piled up in the corner, there was nothing else at all, so it seemed that maybe he was too worried, Jiang Ping might have other things.
Wait a minute...... Piles of firewood in the corner? Lao Wu remembered that the wood piled up here before seemed to have been moved to the kitchen, and no one reported to him that there was new firewood coming, so ......
"Old Five, go and lift the thatch on the pile in the corner of the wall to take a look."
Jiang Ping said, her tone was flat, and she couldn't hear the emotion.
"Yes, ma'am."
Lao Wu's voice trembled a little, and now he can only take one step at a time.
As soon as he lifted the thatch covering it, the sweet potatoes piled up below unexpectedly appeared, and the fifth child's mind was blank, and his hands holding the thatch were a little trembling.
Jiang Ping stood there, looking at Lao Wu, quietly not speaking, as if waiting for Lao Wu to take the initiative to explain to her.
"Ma'am, this ...... These are the leftovers of the previous picking, uneven and some bad sweet potatoes, I think we have a bumper harvest this year, a lot of harvest, I don't plan to put these into the granary, these quality is really bad, you see they have sprouted......"
Although he was surprised, but after all, he was an old fritter, and the fifth child only regained his original expression after a while, and explained to Jiang Ping unhurriedly that the reason why he was not nervous was that he more or less relied on his identity as Jiang Ping's maiden cousin.
"Although I don't often go to the ground, but from these piles, I really can't see anything bad about the quality, if such a big sweet potato is of bad quality, then I want to go and see the quality of the goods in the granary."
Jiang Ping looked at the fifth child with sharp eyes.
As soon as he heard the word "granary", Lao Wu broke out in a cold sweat again. If Jiang Ping really went to inspect the granary, then he really couldn't bear it.
"Madame......"
Lao Wu wanted to explain something, but was directly interrupted by Jiang Ping.
"You don't need to say it, I'll call someone to weigh it later, and all the sweet potatoes here will be counted in the share of the granary, and I'll go to inspect the granary tomorrow, you can do it yourself!"
After finishing speaking, Jiang Ping left without looking back.
Looking at the moldy sweet potatoes piled up in the corner, Lao Wu was a little depressed. Although Jiang Ping told herself about the time to inspect the granary, she was already very lenient with herself, but now the Lu family's own sweet potatoes should be shared, and they should be rotten, and now they can only ask someone to quietly go to the village to buy them. Counting so many sweet potatoes here in the backyard, plus the amount of sweet potatoes that I falsely reported that had been put into the granary, I would have to spend at least a lot of money to get it on this trip.
The more he thought about this matter, the more wrong it became, he had obviously asked his buddies to clean it up, how could he be discovered by Jiang Ping again? Could it be that the guy was seen by Jiang Ping when he was cleaning up, from today's point of view, there is such a possibility. Mother-...... That Ye Xiaoyu is a mourning star, I just went to him today to make trouble, and I was discovered by Jiang Ping.
Although I didn't find out who put the xiaolongbao in the house last time, it must have nothing to do with Ye Xiaoyu, and now this incident has emerged Ye Xiaoyu again. Lao Wu secretly made up his mind that after he got the matter of the granary done, he must find the person who cleaned it up and ask him well, he didn't believe that he couldn't find the person who was secretly doing evil.
If this person is found by him, he will wait to see Lord Yama......
