In the early morning of the second day, Lu Ming came to the seafood restaurant, and as soon as he arrived, he heard that his long-time friend, Wan Yuxue, who was also the cashier of the restaurant, was gossiping with Peng Xiao about the destruction of the Lu family.

When the two saw Lu Ming walk into the restaurant, they immediately forbade him, he was the only two who knew Lu Ming's true background, but because Lu Ming had never talked about the Lu family carefully, the two of them didn't know what Lu Ming's attitude towards the Lu family was.

Lu Ming behaved normally, without sorrow or joy, as if the destruction of the Lu family was a thing that had nothing to do with him.

As usual, day after day, the business of the restaurant is not bad, because Lu Ming and Peng Xiao do business at a fair price, the ingredients are fresh, and the requirements for taste are very strict.

It wasn't until dinner time that a ragged and dirty guest walked into the restaurant.

Xiao Liuzi thought it was a beggar who asked for food, and the most important thing in the underground area was this kind of person, and he was just about to take some leftovers and send them away, when he heard this person ask: "May I ask if your boss is called Lu Ming?" ”

Xiao Liuzi was stunned, in his memory, the boss didn't have any beggar friends.

"You know our boss?" Xiao Liuzi stretched out his head and asked curiously.

The beggar had a look of surprise on his face, and replied with some excitement: "Well, I'm his cousin... A friend from a long time ago. ”

"Then you wait, I'll call the boss out." Xiao Liuzi saw that what he said was not a lie, so he ran into the inner hall and found Lu Ming, who was just about to have dinner.

After listening to Xiao Liuzi's words, Lu Ming looked puzzled, and when he walked to the front hall, he recognized at a glance who this embarrassed beggar was, and immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face, and grabbed the shoulder of the person who came tightly: "Cousin, long time no see!" ”

......

Lu Ziran took a bath in Lu Ming's restaurant, changed into clean clothes, and the whole person's temperament immediately became different, and the unique sense of superiority of people on the ground spontaneously emerged.

The two cousins sat in the private room of the seafood restaurant, and first chatted about things when they were children, which enhanced some intimacy.

"Cousin, I saw the news last night, and I knew that you were exiled underground, so I wondered if you would come to me, and sure enough, I guessed it."

Lu Ming has special feelings for Lu Ziran, when the whole world is full of malice towards you, there is a person who releases kindness to you, you will be more grateful than usual, and you can remember it more in your heart.

Lu Ming had no way to contact Lu Ziran, so he had to wait for Lu Ziran to find him by himself, he knew that Lu Ziran would definitely come, because the Lu family was in the underground area, had no foundation, and it was difficult to move an inch.

"Cousin, to be honest, I'm sorry that I came to you, but I have to open this mouth, you see..." Lu Ziran looked very cramped, he kept rubbing his palms and talking in a slurred manner.

Lu Ming directly interrupted Lu Ziran's words, and said straight to the point: "Cousin, if you don't have a place to live, you can live in my house temporarily, if you need a decent job, I can help you find it, and even you can work in my restaurant, but... The rest of the Lu family, I can't and can't manage it. ”

Lu Ziran looked at Lu Ming, who looked indifferent, and felt a little unhappy in his heart, but he didn't show it.

"Cousin." Lu Ziran thought of the thirty-two members of the Lu family who were like lost dogs at this moment, and had to be cheeky and said, "I heard that you have four shops, can you rent them to us?" Of course, we pay the rent, it's just possible... You have to owe it for a while. ”

For Lu Ziran's abrupt request, Lu Ming was slightly stunned.

The four shops were bought by him Lu Ming through his hard work and labor over the years, and he saved every penny.

A little disappointed in his heart, Lu Ming looked at Lu Ziran with a smile: "Cousin, there are thirty-two of you, you are good at hands and feet, all of you are monks of the eighth or ninth layer of the Qi Induction Realm, and even the Chong Pulse Realm, everyone is looking for a job in a down-to-earth manner, how can you not support yourself?" Not to mention that my shop has been rented to others for three now, even if it is all idle, it is impossible to give it to you on credit. ”

Lu Ziran's face was flushed, but he didn't know whether he was ashamed or angry, maybe since Lu Ziran was born, he had never begged someone so lowly.

People on the ground are like this, they never do things in a down-to-earth manner, they always feel that they are superior to others, and they hope to step high when they come underground.

Lu Ming looked at Lu Ziran's lost appearance, and couldn't help but sigh and said: "Cousin, for your sake, I can give you a shop on credit, and then lend you 50,000 Qianyuan coins, and I will have such a little ability." ”

When Lu Ming said this, he suddenly felt bored, and the little utilitarian emotion that he had when he was a child seemed to have been gradually consumed.

If Lu Ziran was really desperate and came to find Lu Ming, maybe Lu Ming wouldn't have felt this way, but you were just exiled to the underground area, and people were not abolished, you can live with your own hands, why do you want to be coerced by emotions and forcibly snatch something that doesn't belong to you?

But Lu Ziran didn't care about this, he didn't even feel Lu Ming's state of mind, he looked at Lu Ming with a grateful face, grabbed his hand excitedly and said, "Cousin, thank you, I thank you for the rest of the Lu family." ”

......

Although the underground area is dark and dilapidated, it is still within the jurisdiction of Yunxi City, and there are still certain rules and rule of law.

Lu Ming and Lu Ziran went through the shop leasing procedures, and wrote down an IOU of 50,000 dry yuan, and Lu Ziran happily left the seafood restaurant with the contract and money.

50,000 Qianyuan coins, even in the above-ground area, is not a small amount of money, enough for a family of three to live comfortably in the above-ground area for three years.

After Lu Ziran left, Peng Xiao and Wan Yuxue drank water and walked out of the inner hall together, Peng Xiao said in a slightly sour tone: "When did you become so generous?" Don't have a lot of money to spend? Would you like to lend me some? ”

Lu Ziran went up and hugged Peng Xiao's shoulders, and said like a child: "What are we going to do?" Isn't mine yours? If you do have trouble, I'm much nicer to you than to them. ”

Peng Xiao smiled, he was just joking.

"What about me, what about me?" Wan Yuxue looked at Lu Ming with a sly gaze.

"Not to mention it, it's really not good, let's make a promise."

"Phew, who can fancy you."

The three of them fought for a while, and Peng Xiao suddenly said to Lu Ming: "Old Lu, people's hearts are not satisfied, and people's greed is endless. ”

When Lu Ming heard this, he didn't take it too seriously, and replied a little perfunctory: "I know it in my heart." ”
