Chapter 6 The Lu family
"Don't be bored at home all day, go out and exercise more, so that your body can recover faster." Adhering to the virtue of benevolence of the doctor, Zhong Libai mentioned a word.
Lu Zhiqiong didn't do anything yet, and when he heard this, he exploded, and roared in a low voice, "I don't need you to fake your kindness!" β
Zhongli Bai snorted, "You don't like to listen to what I say!" Your body matters, you're still afraid of ......"
"Get out!" Lu Zhiqiong pointed to the door and yelled.
"I'm not laughing at you." Zhong Libai explained, knowing that Lu Tianxian was in a bad mood, and he was not angry with the child.
"Not? Are you concerned about me? Lu Zhiqiong glared at the girl in front of the bed, "Who do you think you are?" β
The young man's gloomy eyes stared at Zhong Libai tightly, "Don't be delusional about a position that doesn't belong to you, know your duty, you're just a ......"
"Yes, I'm just a subordinate bought back by your Lu family, and I'm not qualified to take care of your Lu eldest son's affairs." Zhong Libai finished speaking for him.
It's like a dog biting Lu Dongbin, she deserves it, so she shouldn't be soft-hearted.
Children in ancient times were much more difficult to serve than in modern times, and they obviously had nothing left, but they still had to hold on, holding on to their ridiculous self-esteem.
Who is to blame for the sin?
The quarrel between the two in the house was heard clearly by a few in the Lu family's courtyard, and Zhong Libai was hit by a cane, and he was so angry that he slammed the door and left.
Lu Mi'er hurriedly went into the house to comfort his brother, while Zhong's mother pulled her daughter to comfort her, Lu Fan and Lu Mu looked inside and outside the house, sighed and continued to work.
When eating dinner in the evening, Lu Zhiqiong and Zhong Libai both tacitly chose not to eat, obviously both of them were still angry.
One misunderstood that the other party was watching his own jokes, and the other was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs, so naturally there was no way to make peace.
Lu Fan and Lu Mu couldn't manage the master, so they could only follow Zhong's mother to persuade Xiaobai to look away, Lu Gongzi's body was different, and it was inevitable that he would have a greater temperament.
Lu Mi'er also talked to Zhong Libai in person, "What kind of wooden pillar did you make for your brother is very good, I tried it, it's very convenient." β
Seeing that Zhong Libai didn't care about herself, she had to lower her posture and admit her mistake for her brother, "My brother has a bad temper recently, don't be angry with him." β
Zhongli Bai snorted, "I'm not angry, how is he now?" β
Lu Mi'er frowned, "My brother refuses to accept Langzhong's treatment, I ......"
"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Zhong Libai comforted her in turn, raising his hand and rubbing the little girl's head.
has suffered so much at such a young age, she must be very worried and scared in her heart, but she still has to smile and coax her brother every day.
Lu Mi'er sniffed, slapped Zhong Libai's hand away, and laughed, "You don't seem to be that annoying." β
Zhong Libai was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Can you tell me why you hate me?" β
Lu Mi'er snorted, "You made my brother lose face, so you hate it." β
Seeing that Zhong Li's white eyes were round, Lu Mi'er leaned closer and lowered her voice very low, "You brought your mother to marry our Lu family, this is embarrassing my brother." β
Zhong Libai fell silent and asked her in a low voice, "If I don't take my mother away, she will die of illness, if it were you, which do you think is between saving your mother's life or being ashamed?" β
Lu Mier replied as a matter of course, "Of course, I chose to save my mother." β
Zhong Libai raised his index finger and poked her face, "Since your choice is the same as mine, why do you think that I am not doing something right and hate me?" β
Pushed away by Lu Mi'er, she continued, "You hate me, it's just that you think I'm embarrassing to your brother, right?" β
Seeing that the person hadn't opened her mouth yet, Zhong Libai nodded her eyebrows again, "At a young age, don't think so much in your head, it will urge you to grow old, do you want to become an old woman?" β
"I'm not going to get old." Lu Mi'er pursed her lips and asked her in a low voice, "Then aren't you angry with your brother now?" β
"Well, I'm not angry." Zhong Libai rubbed Lu Mi'er's head again, "Let's find Uncle Lu to get your brother something to eat later!" β
Lu Mi'er wondered why she was looking for Uncle Lu, looked at her and asked, "Don't you make it yourself for your brother?" β
Zhongli Bai Mizhi made a long sound, "I'm afraid that your brother will be even more angry if he eats it." β
Lu Fan had already prepared Lu Zhiqiong's food, and when he was summoned by Lu Mi'er, he immediately sent food to the people in the inner courtyard, and when he saw that Lu Gongzi had eaten seriously, he asked Zhong Libai to return to his life.
Zhong Libai was still eating in the kitchen, and after a busy day, he didn't feel angry, but when he was angry, he was so hungry that he couldn't sleep without eating.
"He's eaten it all?" Zhongli Bai saw Uncle Lu coming back empty-handed and asked.
Lu Fan smiled and nodded, "Childe, he doesn't have a bad temperament, but he has suffered a lot of sins over the years, and his temper has become a little weirder." β
"Uncle Lu, can you tell me about Lu Gongzi's past?" Zhong Libai couldn't help but ask.
Originally, she shouldn't have asked about these privacy, she didn't really marry Lu Gongzi, and she never liked this kind of naΓ―ve young man, so she didn't call at all.
She will care because of her professional nature, and Lu Gongzi is the head of the Lu family, and the family cannot be without him.
As long as you understand Lu Gongzi's past, it will be convenient to dispel his vigilance, and if you can heal the other party's legs, it will naturally be the best.
Lu Fan frowned, shook his head at Zhong Libai, and said regretfully, "These sons are not allowed to be said, if the young lady wants to know, she has to ask by herself." β
Zhongli shook his head and laughed at himself, "The two of us are going to fight when we meet now, and we will definitely not be able to ask anything." β
Lu Fan also smiled awkwardly, and suddenly mentioned to her, "Young lady, there is not much money in the family, can you think of a way?" β
A few mouths at home are waiting to eat, and you can't fill your stomach by going up the mountain to pick up wild fruits all day long, not to mention, wild fruits are not available every day.
If the family has no source of funds, the family will definitely not survive.
After all, the Lu family has no labor force now, and the sick are small, and the head of the family is like this, and the matter of making money can only be pressed on Zhong Libai.
Zhong Libai responded, "Cheng, I know, I'll figure out a way, you can take care of the family for me." β
Lu Fan bowed to Zhong Libai, "Taking care of the master is originally the duty of the housekeeper." β
Zhong Libai didn't bother to care about his tune, packed up his things, and went to help Lu Mu peel the thorn shell, Lu Mi'er had something on his mind, and he didn't rest to help.
The three of them soon increased to five, and several of them silently peeled the thorn shells of the chestnuts until they were done and said to each other to rest.
Zhong Libai got up in the morning, beckoned Lu Mu into the mountain, and brought twenty catties of fried chestnuts to Xu Shan, and discussed with him whether he could buy meat from him.
Xu Shan asked if he wanted to eat it himself or sell it, Zhong Libai didn't hide it from him, and said that the situation at home was that if he didn't make money, he wouldn't have to eat, and he wanted to try selling meat products.
Xu Shan didn't open his mouth to shout a high price, so he recognized her as a friend and gave a friendship price, and the prey was counted as only, but the prey could not be less than ten catties, and a prey was sold for ten taels of silver.
Ten taels of silver and ten catties of meat is not a loss, but Zhong Libai took advantage, because Xu Shan said that no matter the size of the prey, basically he might hunt a big beast.
The two signed a contract, and Zhong Libai went back to discuss with Lu Zhiqiong, and said that he bought meat from Xu Shan, and also said that he wanted to make meatballs and sell them.
Lu Zhiqiong naturally didn't believe that a farmer would do business, so he immediately ridiculed Zhong Libai for not being able to do anything, and he didn't know how sour his tone was.
Zhong Libai didn't bother to pay attention to his petty temperament, anyway, Lu Tianxian was incapacitated, and the other party couldn't control what she wanted to do, that is, symbolically notify the head of the family.
She took care of the day's affairs, and took advantage of the night to dig out the buried silver, seventy taels no more and no less, and the original owner's friend obviously did not have a crooked mind.
The next day, Zhong Libai took Lu Mu up the mountain to get meat, and Xu Shan was not ambiguous, saying that he got up in the middle of the night to hunt, and hunted a total of one deer, one robe, and five rabbits.
The price of a deer is counted as one, the price of a robe as one, and the size of a rabbit as small, and five for one, a total of thirty taels of silver.
Zhong Libai didn't expect to take such a big advantage on the first day, returned the robe to Xu Shan, and still paid thirty taels, Xu Shan didn't take the robe, just let Zhong Libai help make some food.
He saw that the two little ones were not good at bringing so many prey, so he personally sent them down the mountain, and Yaoyao also followed, Zhong Libai invited the two to go to the Lu family together this time.
With Yaoyao here, Xu Shan didn't refuse much, followed him to Lu's house, met Zhong's mother, and helped Lu Fan deal with the meat together.
Zhong Libai asked Lu Mi'er to fool Lu Zhiqiong out, she planned to make a venison hot pot, and the family would eat neatly before it was lively, and it happened that there were guests at home.
One of the rabbit meat was handed over to Uncle Lu to make and asked him to make a spicy pot rabbit, some of the venison was cut into thin slices for later use, and the four hooves of the robe were split and made into braised hooves.
The rest of the meat was marinated, Zhong Libai cut a part of it and chopped it, added some wheat flour, mixed a few eggs, seasonings, and kneaded into small balls of meatballs.
The crowd is still fast to deal with, and the sun is not far west, and Lu Zhiqiong is also fooled into the courtyard for the first time.
Zhong Libai made a pot of meatballs, prepared a bowl of spicy and a bowl of non-spicy, and put them all in front of Lu Gongzi and let him taste them first.
It's not that Lu Zhiqiong hasn't eaten this kind of meatball before, but he didn't save the girl's face, so he tried a non-spicy one, and his eyes lit up instantly when he took a bite.
"How? Can you sell it? Zhongli raised his eyebrows proudly at the boy during the day.
Lu Zhiqiong couldn't say anything against his heart in the bastard, so he muttered and continued to eat his balls, and the tips of his red ears betrayed his mood at the moment.
Lu Mi'er came out of the inner courtyard, and immediately brought another bowl to eat when she saw it, but it was so spicy that she screamed, Zhong Libai immediately gave her a glass of water and asked her to eat it without spicy food.
Seeing his sister getting close to his "wife", Lu Zhiqiong felt an awkward feeling in his heart, and secretly felt that the little beggar didn't seem to be so ugly.
