Chapter Twenty-Three: There Is Another Possibility
When I returned to the pharmacy, I saw that my mother was anxiously looking for the two of them, and when I saw that the two children had returned, I was finally relieved, but I still reprimanded them, so that they didn't want to see anything in the future. The two naturally agreed resignedly.
Although there are a bit of twists and turns, but finally arrived home safely, as soon as he entered the house, Lu Yu's mother Zhang Fengrong suddenly breathed a long sigh of relief, "Whew, I'm finally home, this way has worried me badly, I heard that there have been a lot of robberies on the street recently, all of which happened near the pharmacy, I didn't expect to be met by us today, and you have to be careful when you go out in the future." ”
"Don't worry, Mom, if you encounter a robbery, I will definitely help you beat him away." Lu Xiao waved his little fist as he spoke, his face full of confidence.
Lu Yu tugged at the corners of his mouth beside him, "Hehe." "I really don't know where this girl got her honey confidence.
When Lu Xiao saw Lu Yu's expression, he immediately became angry, "Hmph, what kind of expression do you have, looking down on me?" ”
"No, you think too much, I just have a toothache."
"Hmph, crane tail." Lu Xiaoxiao glanced at Lu Yu with disdain, turned his head and ignored Lu Yu. Since she was a child, Lu Yu's grades have always been inferior to Lu Xiaoxiao, so she is naturally a head shorter in front of her, which is one of the reasons why Lu Yu has always let Lu Xiaoxiao land. But today let Lu Yu save him, and Lu Xiaoxiao felt a little awkward for a while.
The corners of Lu Yu's mouth twitched, too lazy to bother with a little girl. Zhang Fengrong glanced at the two children helplessly, "Okay, you come and stop for a while, your father is still sleeping, don't wake him up, come on, come on, give you the pill, take it yourself to practice well, and strive to get into a good university when the time comes." ”
As he spoke, he took out the two packets of pills he had just bought from his bag, one to Lu Yu and the other to Lu Xiaoxiao. Lu Yu's share only contained 3 Strengthening Pills and a Recovery Pill, while Lu Xiaoxiao's share had 5 Strengthening Pills and a Recovery Pill. Lu Yu naturally knew about this, but Lu Xiaoxiao didn't know, so he happily ran back to his room to repair it with the pill.
Seeing Lu Xiaoxiao enter the room, Zhang Fengrong glanced at his son Lu Yu guiltily, and said softly: "Son, go, cultivate well, if it really doesn't work, I'll go to your uncle's house in two days to see if I can borrow some money and buy you another one." ”
Lu Yu looked at his mother's appearance, smiled and comforted: "Mom, I'm fine, don't worry, your son will definitely give you a good score, definitely no worse than anyone else." ”
Zhang Fengrong nodded with a relieved face, "Well, I believe my son can do it." ”
"Then I'm going to cultivate."
"Go ahead."
Back in the house, Lu Yu sat on the bed, took out the pill in his hand, and prepared to start cultivating. I just opened the system layout and was about to add points, but I didn't expect the door to be knocked suddenly.
Lu Yu got up and opened the door, and found that it was Lu Xiaoxiao outside the door, and the girl glanced around mysteriously, and directly crossed Lu Yu into the house, and closed the door casually.
"What? Sneaky? Lu Yu asked suspiciously.
Lu Xiaoxiao's face turned red, "Ahem, it's okay, I just want to ask you, how many pills do you have." ”
"Why do you ask this? Don't you have it yourself? Lu Yu thought to herself, did she find out? Didn't you prescribe her when you bought the medicine at that time?
"What do you care about me, tell me quickly, how many do you have?"
Lu Yu pretended to be helpless and said: "Five strengthening pills, one recovery pill, we are both the same, are you worried that your mother will give you less?" ”
Lu Xiaoxiao didn't pay attention to Lu Yu's sarcasm, she would never believe that the pills her parents gave her were not as many as Lu Yu's, if it was the other way around, it would be almost the same. So after listening to Lu Yu's words, he glanced at him, trimmed his eyebrows slightly, and muttered: "No, I don't know how much money we have in our passbook?" There is simply not enough to buy ten pills, where did the money for those two pills come from? ”
As soon as she returned to the house, Lu Xiaoxiao hurriedly opened the paper bag and took out the pills to prepare for cultivation, originally she thought that there were only 4 pills, and she was a little worried about whether she could cultivate to the late stage of the first level, but when she opened it and saw that there were 5 pills inside, she was immediately overjoyed, don't worry about it now, with these 5 strengthening pills, she will definitely be able to cultivate to the late stage of the first level.
But then she reacted, this thing is a little wrong, girls have always been more careful, and they are born with the attribute of managing finances, otherwise how can it be that in ordinary people's homes, women are in charge of finances.
Although Lu Xiaoxiao is not in charge of the family's finances, she still knows how much money the family has. If she and Lu Yu were both 5 pills, then the family's money would not be enough at all.
Where did so many pills come from, even if my mother has hidden private money, she can't hide so much, it's 100,000 yuan, and the family's net income for several years. Dad's private money? It's even more impossible, he knows exactly where his money is hidden, and it adds up to less than a hundred yuan, Lu Yu? Ignore directly.
Is it borrowed money? But with whom did you borrow it? There are not many relatives in their family, and the second and third uncles are relatively close, and it is impossible to borrow money from the third uncle's family, not that the third uncle is stingy, but that he himself is too poor to open the pot, where is the money to lend to others.
As for the second uncle, their family is quite wealthy, but there is no way to borrow money, the family is all stingy and stingy, taking advantage of one is more active than the other, and borrowing money from him is more difficult than asking them to die.
Uncle's house? Although their family's conditions are okay, it is not easy to come up with 100,000 yuan at a time, especially my aunt, a typical small citizen character, although I don't say how bad it is, but it is not easy to borrow money. Besides, their home is so far away from their own home, it is even more difficult.
It's not borrowed money, it's not family money, where does that money come from? Excluding all the impossibilities, there is only one possibility, so she didn't care about cultivation, and hurriedly ran over to Lu Yu for verification. When he learned that Lu Yu was indeed the five pills, Lu Xiaoxiao felt that he was one step closer to the truth. However, she didn't see Lu Xiaoxiao with her own eyes and still didn't draw a direct conclusion, although she was 100% sure in her heart.
Lu Yu was shocked when he heard Lu Xiaoxiao's muttering, but he said casually with a quiet face: "Then who knows?" Maybe you don't know where your parents put some money. ”
Lu Xiaoxiao shook his head firmly and said, "Impossible, that passbook has been under the insoles of my mother's leather shoes that I don't wear for so many years, and I have never changed places." Besides, I basically know my parents' salaries and family expenses for so many years, and the amount is right, there is no extra money, and it is still such a large amount of money. ”
Lu Yu was stunned for a while, is this a girl? Is it so scary? If anyone marries her, they won't be able to live in the future?
"Well, maybe it was borrowed." Lu Yu said dryly, he didn't have confidence in telling this lie.
Lu Xiaoxiao nodded and said, "This possibility is not impossible, but I analyzed it and it is not very likely." ”
"Then I don't know." Lu Yu has no choice, he plans to lie to the end, anyway, he just doesn't tell the truth.
"No, there's another possibility." Lu Xiaoxiao stared at Lu Yu with burning eyes and said confidently.
Lu Yu suddenly became nervous, could it be that this girl guessed? What's the matter? Mom and Dad don't think they said it, right? Swallowing his saliva, Lu Yu asked nervously, "What?" What is possible? ”
"That's ......"
