Chapter 40: Li Mei is Pregnant (I)

As soon as Xie Chen's words came out, the children were stunned instantly, their mouths were open enough to stuff a goose egg, and Zhang Lingling, who was originally beautiful, had a face that was even more exciting.

Two, twenty taels?

None of them had ever seen so much money, and they didn't even know what twenty taels of silver were, or how much they could buy.

Gongzi Xie actually spent so much silver to buy a hairpin for Li Xiaojiu, where did Li Xiaojiu deserve it?!

Zhang Lingling came back from the huge shock, her heart was sour and jealous and indescribable, in order to maintain the gentle image in the hearts of everyone, she smiled dryly: "Xiao Jiu is really a good skill, I said why don't you pester Brother A Chen recently, it turns out that you have found a better one, Brother A Chen is indeed poor, and I don't know how long I can live if I am sick, you are right to pester Gongzi Xie." ”

Lu Yu wanted to go back to Shu's house, but when he saw Zhang Lingling belittling Shu Chen endlessly, he turned around and looked at Zhang Lingling coldly and said: "I know why Ah Chen doesn't want you, Zhang Lingling, you and Ah Chen have grown up together, you can't get him to slander like this, it's just a shame!"

"You, you dare to say that I am inferior?"

Zhang Lingling's voice opened sharply: "The reason why my relationship with Brother Achen is weak is not all because of you, a cheap hoof!"

Lu Yu sneered: "Zhang Lingling, if Ah Chen's health is better in the future and his family is rich, don't regret it then." ”

When Zhang Lingling and the others heard this, they laughed as if they had heard some joke.

Li Daniu said: "Li Xiaojiu, after you were dumped by me, you are too sad, your brain is not good, isn't it? The Shu family has been poor for most of their lives, and Uncle Shuchen is a man, how can he be rich?"

"Li Xiaojiu, don't you want to make money for the Shu family, do you? With this idle time, it's better to think about how to earn enough two taels of silver for you to redeem yourself!"

In the face of everyone's ridicule, Lu Chen's expression was always calm, and he returned to the Shu family with Xie Chen.

There is no need to explain more, she will use practical actions to make these people who look down on Shu Chen regret it!

After returning to the courtyard, Lu Yu took off the hairpin in his hair and returned it to Xie Chen: "You bought me enough things today, and I will return this to you." ”

"This is for you. ”

"I don't have anything of the equivalent to give it back to you. ”

Xie Chen was stunned for a moment, his eyes narrowed slightly, and said: "Lu Chen, you really don't understand the amorous feelings, if a man voluntarily buys you something, you can actually just be coquettish and say two good words to repay it." ”

Lu Yu had goosebumps: "Beauty is coquettish is called amorous, I ......"

I will also be a beauty in a few years, but I am not it yet, Lu Yu comforted himself in his heart.

Xie Chen saw that she was not interested, and she was not reluctant, and after picking up the hairpin, he looked playful: "What are you?"

"I have hands and feet, what do I do to be coquettish and let a man buy me something?"

She used to rely on men, like all women in the world.

Li Da Niu and Song Jue all gave her a slap in the face, which made Lu Yu deeply understand that free lunch can't be eaten, and men can't be relied on.

Lu Yu took the food packed back from the restaurant to the kitchen and heated it, and carried it into Shu Chen's room.

Xie Chen saw that Lu Chen was so attentive to Shu Chen, the smile on the corner of his lips was contained, and his eyebrows frowned slightly.

This little village girl is always reluctant to take care of him, but she is very attentive to Shu Chen.

When Lu Yu brought the food to Shu Chen's room, Shu Chen was still on the kang, sitting against the wall.

His illness became more and more serious, his cheeks were reduced a lot, and he spent most of his time lying in the quilt, Lu Yu was a little distressed when he saw this: "Ah Chen, I brought you some food." ”

Shu Chen glanced at the exquisite food, swallowed his saliva, and said weakly: "I'm not hungry, Xiao Jiu, you can eat." ”

"I've eaten it. Lu Yu's heart was sour: "Ah Chen, did you hear the voice outside just now?"

Shu Chen lowered his head with red eyes: "It's all useless for me, and you are also laughed at by those people." ”

Shu Chen's heart was filled with a sense of powerlessness, and he also said that he wanted to protect Li Xiaojiu, but he couldn't even protect himself.

Lu Yu sighed helplessly: "You are still a child, don't put too much pressure on yourself." ”

"Xiao Jiu, do you think I'm useless?"

"How so. Lu Yu said honestly: "Ah Chen, you are the best boy in Qingping Village, those people laugh at you because they are jealous of you, we all know what Zhang Lingling thinks, if you ignore her, she doesn't know how good she is to you at the moment, so you don't have to take their words to heart." ”

After Lu Yu patiently comforted Shu Chen, fed him something, and coaxed the sick Shu Chen to sleep, Lu Yu took out the silver he had saved during this time and lit it.

She still has a total of three taels of silver in her hand, which is enough to live in Qingping Village, but she has a lot of things to buy, to cure Ah Chen's disease, to raise her skin to be fair, her withered grass-like hair to be black and bright, and Lu Wanjun will, no, she has to learn!

That's a drop in the bucket.

Lu Zhen came to the courtyard, cleaned a few empty crockpots in the courtyard of the Shu family, and first made a few jars of rice wine according to the process in his memory.

"Who did you learn this craft from?"

"I'm fooling around. ”

Xie Chen looked at her skillful movements, obviously not believing it, but he didn't ask much: "Do you want to make wine and sell it for money to treat your Xiaolangjun?"

Lu Yu panted and sealed the mouth of the can, and got up to look at him, "Why not?"

Xie Chen snorted lightly, turned around and went back to the room, for some reason, he was a little unhappy in his heart.

In the evening, when the Shu family returned home, they were stunned when they saw the wine in the corner of the wall.

Widow Shu said, "Li Xiaojiu, did you brew these?"

"Yes, wait for the next market, it's almost brewed, and you can take it to the market for money. ”

Lu Yu replied obediently, she didn't want to take the Shu family to earn money together, but remembering that Shu Chen's illness could not continue to drag on, if she wanted to make money secretly, it would be a bit difficult, so she could only temporarily cheapen the family.

When Shu Wangshi heard the word money, his eyes lit up instantly, and he thought about the previous dim sum first, and praised: "I can't see it, you girl is quite capable." ”

Li Mei rolled her eyes on the side: "A jar of rice wine supports fifty copper plates, aside from the cost, it has to be transported to the county seat, which is not enough to toss." ”

Widow Shu didn't have much hope for Lu Yu, but still said: "A little money is money, Li Xiaojiu has this heart, and the money owed can be earned back slowly for our family." ”

Li Mei didn't answer anymore, and secretly said in her heart that Widow Shu had no interest, and she didn't look at such a little money at all.

Since Gongzi Xie promised to give his family a piece of gold as a reward when he left, Dafang put his abacus on the money.
