Wang Ailian is still a little proud today.

Because today when her son Wang Jikun comes back.

reported the good news to Wang Ailian, saying that Zhu Mazi had scared Su Yuqing half to death, and estimated that Su Yuqing would soon be unable to hold on.

Wang Ailian thought of Su Yuqing's worried and scared appearance, and had nowhere to rely on, she felt that her opportunity had come.

So she didn't even have the mood to do farm work in her own field, and she was about to rush to Lu Tao's house in a hurry to pour Su Yuqing some more chicken soup for divorce.

However, when she walked to Lu Tao's house, she unexpectedly found that there were a lot of people on the road today, and they were carrying bundles of weeds in their hands.

Moreover, the more I went to Lu Tao's house, the more people found such a person, which aroused the curiosity in Wang Ailian's heart.

Obviously, Lu Tao's home is in a relatively remote place in the village, there are not many people in the area there, and few people usually go, and even if there are people, they come back from the fields over there, and the direction is different. Why are so many people passing there today?

She immediately gossiped in her heart.

So he stepped forward and grabbed a person he knew and asked, "Hey, what are you doing here?" Why are you holding this grass, where are you going? ”

"You don't know?" The person she asked was surprised.

At the same time, she also said without concealment: "Today, Xiuzhu is spreading everywhere in the village, saying that Lu Tao is harvesting this kind of weed, and the price is very high, five cents a catty!" We're going to give it a try. ”

"What the hell?" Wang Ailian was immediately stunned when she heard this.

When did Lu Tao actually put away this thing?

Compared with the price of five cents a catty, the word Lu Tao can poke her heart even more.

In the time of a breath, a lot of thoughts have already surfaced in Wang Ailian's mind: Isn't Lu Tao going to gamble? Where did he get the money to collect these weeds? Didn't Zhu Mazi go to ask for money in the morning?

Although she had 10,000 questions in her heart, she was still busy dismantling Lu Tao's platform: "Are you afraid that you will be deceived, do you believe the words of people like Lu Tao?" ”

"Don't go then, you went, and people just played with you, so didn't you run for nothing?"

The man said nonchalantly: "I've thought about it a long time ago, but I'm just going to try it, and there is no cost anyway." It's best if you can make money, and if you can't make money, forget it. Besides, this matter is what Jiang Xiuzhu said. ”

"Waste of time, if Lu Tao can really give you the money, I will eat all the in your manure pit today!" Wang Ailian said unbelieving words, and at the same time, she rushed to Lu Tao's house.

When they arrived at Lu Tao's house, there were already three or four people gathered here.

The two of them hurriedly followed, and looked at Lu Tao's house, but saw that Lu Tao was not in Lu Tao's house at all, only Su Yuqing was a little dazed and entertained everyone.

"Yuqing, where is your Lu Tao? He told us today that this grass could be sold to him for five cents a pound, why didn't his people have it? One of the aunts asked with a frown.

Su Yuqing was also a little dazed when she heard this, she explained: "Auntie, if you wait patiently, Lu Tao should be coming back soon, he also went out with a basket just now, and he probably went to dig this grass." ”

Saying that, Su Yuqing moved out of the stool at home for a few people to sit down, and at the same time took out the hot water bottle at home and the few remaining bowls at home, and poured water for them to drink.

"Okay, then we'll wait for him to come back."

These aunts didn't make things difficult for Su Yuqing, they actually sympathized with Su Yuqing a little bit, and felt that Su Yuqing was pitiful.

Although there is no shortage of people in the peasant family who bully the weak and fear the hard, most people are still kind in their hearts, and they just want themselves not to bully others, and others not to bully themselves.

A few of them thought that there was nothing to do at home anyway, and at this point, their grandchildren were not out of school, and they had time to wait, so a few people sat down and chatted leisurely.

But how could Wang Ailian let go of this good opportunity to instigate Su Yuqing's divorce, and hurriedly took a step forward.

"I see, Lu Tao didn't go to the mountain, he went to Zhu Mazi, right?" She said in a weird manner: "My son saw him at Zhu Mazi this morning!" ”

"Besides, if Lu Tao had this money, he would have gone to the gambling table to turn over the book, and would he come to collect herbs at such a high price? You don't know who he is, do you? ”

"Yuqing, did you think he used this method to defraud the Xiuzhu family's money? That Xiuzhu is kind-hearted, she can't really be deceived and is still counting money for Lu Tao. ”

Hearing Wang Ailian's words, the faces of several people did change.

Of course, the most obvious fluctuation in his heart is Su Yuqing.

Because of Lu Tao's affairs, he has nothing to do with these aunts, but has a close relationship with her.

If Lu Tao really did this to deceive the whole village in order to cheat money, then what kind of face would their family have to stay in this village in the future?

But deep down in her heart, she actually still hopes that Lu Tao is not gambling.

"No, he did go out with a basket, and yesterday he did go to the mountains to dig up this weed."

Su Yuqing explained in a low voice, and she didn't know whether to tell these people or herself.

"Can't you gamble with a basket? As long as the basket is put to the side, can't you gamble? Wang Ailian said unrelentingly.

"Also, several of you must have been deceived, and pigs don't eat this grass. In so many years, I haven't seen anyone selling this thing in the vegetable market. ”

"If you can really sell it for money, will you wait until Lu Tao? I guess the mountain has long been pulled bare. Just a few of you stupid, you can really believe it. ”

Wang Ailian looked at the gynostemma with disgust, and her mouth was chattering.

Several people didn't believe Wang Ailian's words at first.

But left and right.

Even if only a few minutes have passed, in the eyes of those who are waiting, time always moves a little slower, and a few minutes are like waiting for dozens of minutes.

In addition, there is also a Wang Ailian on the side, who is constantly fanning the flames.

So more or less, there was some shaking in my heart.

I don't think it's a little too arbitrary, and as soon as I heard Xiuzhu say it, I believed it.

One of them sighed, got up and said, "Forget it, I think Lu Tao is indeed a liar, I'm going back to pick up my grandson." ”

With that, the man left.

Wang Ailian mended the knife in the back: "Look, this is a smart person." ”

"Only a fool will believe Lu Tao, Lu Tao can have the money to collect these grasses from you, and my Wang Ailian is a pig."

But someone still said: "It's okay, I'm okay anyway, just wait, Yuqing is also very polite, pour us water to drink, and everyone should sit here and chat." ”

The rest of the people also nodded, they had been waiting until now, and it was not too late.

Wang Ailian is not in a hurry, she still has expectations in her heart, the greater everyone's hope now, the greater the disappointment for a while.

Especially when she saw that Su Yuqing's face was actually a little ugly, looking at this look, she had already said that she was a little flustered.

So I continued to wait here, to see Lu Tao's jokes, and when the time came, while everyone was accusing Lu Tao, I would persuade Su Yuqing to divorce.

After waiting for a few more minutes.

"Hey, aren't you leaving? How could Lu Tao come back, even if he came, he would definitely be watching from the sidelines, and he wouldn't dare to come back until you were all gone. ”

"Yuqing, I said that you really are, you would actually believe that Lu Tao really went to the mountains to dig weeds. With such a man, you should have divorced a long time ago! ”

Wang Ailian is not afraid of thirst, and she will be forced to talk for a while every few minutes.

Everyone who listened to it was annoyed to death.

"I said Ailian, why do you have such a big opinion of Lu Tao?"

Some of them couldn't stand it anymore, so they helped Su Yuqing and said.

"That's right." I saw that someone started, and there were other people who helped.

Everyone still has some sympathy for the weak, and everyone doesn't like it in their hearts for those who bully others.

But Wang Ailian is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and when she heard that everyone began to point the finger at herself, she replied not to be outdone:

"Yo yo yo, what are you doing, just do it by Lu Tao, don't let people say it?"

"You also helped Lu Tao talk about it. They haven't harvested your weeds yet? Just help him speak? ”

"If Lu Tao doesn't have money to collect your weeds for a while, I'll see how you cry!"

However, just after Wang Ailian finished speaking loudly, she heard a loud male voice outside: "Who said I don't have any money to collect?" ”

Hearing the voice, everyone looked back and found that it was Lu Tao.

In particular, they clearly saw that Lu Tao was carrying a big basket behind him, and the gynostemma in the basket was already piled higher than his head.

Looking at his hand again, he was still holding a hoe with mud, and in the other hand he was carrying a bundle of gynostemma.

Of course, these villagers didn't know that Lu Tao was gynostemma, and he was only a weed.

"Lu Tao, you are back, we are waiting for you. Xiuzhu said you take this grass, we got a little bit, you see......"

One of the women, who had been waiting for a long time, stepped forward and said.

As he spoke, he handed over the gynostemma in her hand.

"I'm sorry, Aunt Cui, I was digging this in the mountains just now."

Lu Tao said apologetically to a few people, and at the same time raised his hand to signal the gynostemma in his hand to them.

He knew that these people were here to sell gynostemma, so he went straight to the topic:

"You're all here to sell this grass, I want it, I'm going to bring the scales to you for weighing!"

Hearing Lu Tao's words, everyone's faces changed drastically.

Those who came to sell were surprised, but Wang Ailian was shocked.

"I'll just say Lu Taoxing, Xiuzhu will definitely not lie to us!"

"I didn't expect this to be true, this grass can really be sold for money."

Those people all said with emotion.

After Lu Tao came back, Wang Ailian was a little less confident, did not shout loudly, and muttered softly: "I will definitely not be able to get the money for a while." ”

Only Su Yuqing has not completely recovered, she doesn't know whether she should believe Lu Tao or not, because the previous Zhu Mazi incident hurt her too much.

However, Lu Tao, who took out the scale, said the next sentence, which directly made everyone's eyes widen again.

"I'm really sorry to make you wait so long, these of you aunts and aunts, this time I will first collect them at the price of 1 yuan a catty, as compensation for you, and then you will also help me go to the village to talk about it, so that everyone can also help me dig together, I will collect it."

"But the price behind it is not 1 yuan, and it is 5 cents a catty."

"What do you think?"
