Chapter 56: Revenge
As soon as she heard Carpenter Chen, Xu Lan remembered the last time she saw Carpenter Chen reprimanding Chen Ruoran in the courtyard of the Chen family.
Xu Lan doesn't hate Carpenter Chen, she married into the Chen family in her last life, Carpenter Chen is actually a good father-in-law, but Chen Ruoran is too bastard, he can't control it, and he can't control the Chen family.
Chen Ruoran did not go to school but took money to gamble, and after Chen Carpenter found out, he became ill, and finally died in anger.
Xu Lan was very emotional about this Chen carpenter who was dedicated to his son, but was angry with his son, and he didn't want him to end up like this in this life.
It's still early, and perhaps an earlier reminder would be useful.
"Mother, I'll go to Chen's house to see if I can borrow a bucket and come back."
When she came to Chen's house, there was no one in the courtyard of Chen's house, so she stood outside the courtyard and shouted a few words before someone came out of it.
Carpenter Chen came out and saw that it was Xu Lan, and paused for a moment, "The girl of the Xu family?" ”
Xu Lan nodded and said what she meant.
As soon as he heard that he was here to borrow a wooden barrel, Carpenter Chen's expression softened slightly, and then he turned his head and went to the house to move a large wooden barrel out, "Take it." ”
Xu Lan looked at the wooden barrel, there were water stains on it, it should be used by the Chen family to hold water, thinking that the herbal tea trade could be done for several months, and she couldn't borrow it for a few months, so she said: "That's it, I bought the barrel, Uncle Chen, how much does it cost?" ”
Carpenter Chen was stunned for a moment, and then said, "This barrel will be sold for fifty yuan after some time." ”
There is not the slightest gap in the whole wooden barrel, it looks very smooth, a barrel is higher than Xu Lan, such a good wooden barrel, fifty wen is not expensive.
Xu Lan liked it very much, and after giving the money, she carried the bucket home.
Her small body, carrying a barrel about the size of her, attracted a lot of attention on the road.
Everyone asked her what she was doing with a wooden barrel, Xu Lan didn't elaborate, and walked towards home after passing a vague past, but when she passed a path, she heard a thin voice coming from a haystack.
"Oh, Brother Chen, you lightened it, it hurt me."
"Okay, okay, I know."
Then there was a clam.
Xu Lan was stunned for a moment, and she heard one of the voices, it was Chen Ruoran.
The other was a female voice, somewhat unfamiliar and familiar, and Xu Lan didn't think about it for a while.
The two of them were in the haystack, and if there was this conversation, they didn't have to think about it to know what they were doing in it.
Xu Lan's face was slightly gloomy, she didn't expect Chen Ruoran to be so bold, and she dared to do such a thing in the blue sky and daylight.
Thinking of all the things in her previous life, Xu Lan had a cold face, and carried the bucket home without making any sound, and then came out, and when she passed by a place where there were people, she seemed to mention it unintentionally.
"When I passed by that haystack over there, something seemed to be moving in it, could it be a rabbit?"
As soon as they heard that there were rabbits, everyone was immediately moved, put down their work and strode towards that side.
It would be great if it was really a rabbit, how long has it been since everyone tasted meat, and when they think of fragrant rabbit meat, everyone's steps are faster, and they all want to catch the rabbit.
Xu Lan stood under the big tree, looking at everyone's past figures from a distance, the corners of her mouth hooked slightly, and no matter what the result was, she turned around and went home.
Zhang saw Xu Lan bring back such a big bucket, and heard that it cost fifty yuan to buy it, and he was a little distressed for a while.
Before the business started, it cost fifty first.
Xu Lan smiled and persuaded her to have something to give, so Zhang adjusted his mentality, cleaned the wooden barrel, and then poured several large pots of silver dan water into the wooden barrel, and then covered it with a white cloth to avoid falling into the dust, and waited quietly for it to cool.
In the afternoon, when Xu Lan was inspecting the vegetable field that had just been planted with vegetable seeds, she heard that a dirty thing had happened in the village today.
Chen Ruoran was in the blue sky, and he actually did things like drilling haystacks with the big girl in the village, and was found on the spot, and when they were discovered, the clothes on their bodies were pitiful.
As soon as the matter came out, Carpenter Chen angrily slapped Chen Ruoran twice on the spot, and the girl was Xiao Tao from the next village, Xiao Tao cried out on the spot and said that she had no face to see people, and when the family came to take her back, they couldn't wait to kill her when they looked at her.
The matter was big for a long time, and the news spread in both villages, and it was just dirty to the eyes.
How things will develop further, Xu Lan is no longer interested in knowing, she just needs to know that Chen Ruoran is not having a good time now.
This is just the first step of her revenge, and when she has the opportunity in the future, she will return all the pain that Chen Ruoran put on her in her previous life.
Early the next morning, Xu Lan and Zhang got up.
Because the barrel was too big, it was full of herbal tea, it was big and heavy, and it was not easy to move it to the county seat.
Xu Lan went to rent an ox cart, and found someone to carry the wooden barrel onto the cart, and tossed for a long time before successfully getting on the ox cart and rushing to the county seat.
In order to better attract business, Xu Lan borrowed two tables and several stools and placed them around as a resting place. Then he built a shed to shelter from the scorching sun.
When everything was ready, it was noon.
didn't have time to rest, looking at the people coming and going, Xu Lan opened her throat and shouted.
"The cool silver pill water that relieves the heat is delicious and relieves the heat, the weather is so hot to drink a bowl of silver pill water to get hot."
The little girl was fair, not shy at all, and her crisp voice resounded in the crowd, inexplicably attracting attention.
It's just that everyone has never heard of any silver pill water, and they are a little confused.
"Little girl, are you Yindanshui? Why haven't you heard of it? ”
People who are familiar with medicinal materials know the efficacy of silver pill grass, and those who are not familiar with it naturally feel unfamiliar when they hear it.
Hearing someone ask, Xu Lan grinned and explained with a smile, "Yindancao is a kind of medicinal material that clears heat and detoxifies. ”
As soon as I heard that the heat was cleared and the heat was relieved, it was still soaked in medicinal herbs, and some people were moved.
"And how much do you have for a bowl?"
"A penny and a bowl." Xu Lan said with a smile: "It's not expensive, it's cool to keep it cool after drinking a bowl, and it's easy to keep it all over." ”
In the hot summer, who doesn't want to be cool and cool and relieve the heat.
And a penny is really not expensive, and immediately someone said, "Bring me a bowl!" ”
Xu Lan immediately filled a bowl and handed it over.
The bowls are brought by the family, they are all quite big, and Xu Lan is very willing, a big bowl full of past, whether it is good or not, it will make people feel very worthwhile.
The person who bought it took the bowl and tried to take a sip, and suddenly a refreshing coolness flowed into his limbs.
The man's eyes lit up suddenly, and he didn't leave his mouth, but drank several large sips in a row from the bowl until he drank the bowl to the bottom, and finally yelled, "Happy! ”
It's really a bowl, and the whole body is cool!
Seeing this, the person next to him couldn't help but buy a bowl to drink, which was also delicious and cool.
Then more and more people bought it, and after a while, many people gathered in front of the small stall to line up to buy silver pill water.
