Mrs. Tian said she would wait, but her eyes were full of impatience and she would stand up every once in a while.
Cheng Dahua was afraid that Mrs. Tian would affect her plan, so she quickly said something else.
"Mom, when people come and see us later, they will definitely be suspicious!"
"Come on!" Mrs. Tian waved her hands irritably, "Am I still waiting?"
Mrs. Tian felt aggrieved when she said this, and pointed at Cheng Dahua cursingly: "If you keep saying that, go back!"
Cheng Dahua looked unhappy, but she quickly calmed down.
Because at this moment, the sound of the oxcart ticking by was heard.
When Cheng Dahua heard this, she knew it was Xia Yao and the others.
"Hurry, hurry, hurry!" Cheng Dahua quickly grabbed Old Mrs. Tian, and the two squatted behind the haystack, staring at the bullock cart.
Xia Yao and Lu Jing were sitting on the bullock cart, and they couldn't see clearly what was on it, but vaguely from the bulges on it, they could guess that Lu Jing and Xia Yao had brought something big this time!
Thinking of this, Cheng Dahua was restless. Seeing the ox cart driving away, she pulled Old Mrs. Tian with excitement in her eyes.
"Mom, they bought so many things! They must have used the things left by the Lu family!" When Cheng Dahua spoke, his tone was full of jealousy, "Otherwise, where did they get the money? We have to take this Tell that person the news!"
Mrs. Tian was also excited, her eyes rolled, and a thief's light burst out.
"You have to breathe first!" Mrs. Tian kept nodding.
"But the last time the Revolutionary Committee came, they couldn't find anything against them."
After saying this, Mrs. Tian's face became ugly.
"We still have to plan this matter carefully."
Cheng Dahua still listened to Mrs. Jintian's words on these matters.
You know, the three brick houses of the Tian family were built only because of Mrs. Tian!
"Mom, don't worry!" Cheng Dahua smiled flatteringly, "I will definitely keep this matter firmly in my heart and no one will tell me!"
"Their happy life is over soon!" Mrs. Tian snorted coldly, as if she could already see the tragic end of the Lu family.
Back at Lu's house, Chen Zhou enthusiastically helped Xia Yao unload the things from the ox cart.
Most of the villagers in Qingshui Brigade are very nice.
Even if there are a few people who make sarcastic remarks occasionally, they will not do anything to the Lu family. After all, the whole village was able to survive back then because of the Lu family. Everyone remembers the kindness of the Lu family back then.
Aunt Guihua was watching every move of the Lu family from the opposite side, feeling anxious. She put down the rag, wiped her hands on her apron and was about to go to the Lu family.
"Why are you going to the Lu family?"
Zhou Gui frowned and stared at Aunt Osmanthus for a few times.
"You don't know what I'm going to do?" Aunt Guihua rolled her eyes angrily, "It was Mr. Lu who saved your life back then. Most of our family's current savings are earned through Xia Zhiqing. How can I still Do you want to watch them being plotted?"
"Okay, okay!" After hearing this, Zhou Gui knew that it was useless no matter how much he said. He simply waved his hand, "Just go ahead! I don't want to be this evil person!"
Aunt Osmanthus sneered and strode towards the Lu family's house.
"Auntie, why are you here?"
Aunt Guihua arrived at the door but didn't go in. She didn't know why she was hesitating.
It was Xia Yao who saw her and said hello.
"I just..." Aunt Guihua smiled awkwardly and opened her mouth for a long time but couldn't squeeze out a word.
Xia Yao caught a glimpse of the sweat on her forehead and her expression of hesitation, and her heart moved slightly. She grabbed Aunt Guihua's hand and invited her to sit in the yard.
"Auntie, if you have anything to say, just say it!"
"well!"
Aunt Osmanthus sighed deeply, and she looked at Xia Yao with a sad face.
There was no one in the small courtyard at the moment. She moved closer to Xia Yao and lowered her voice.
"When I went to the hut today, I heard the new Xia Zhiqing and Su Zhiqing plotting against you behind your back." Aunt Guihua pointedly said, "They said you were speculating and they wanted to catch you!"
"Yaoyao!" Aunt Guihua held Xia Yao's hand.
After getting along with him these days, she really regarded Xia Yao as a close junior, and now her eyes were filled with sadness.
"That business of yours...why don't you just stop doing it!"
Xia Yao thought in her mind and already understood Su Linlin and Xia Qingqing's plan. No wonder they were following her today!
"Auntie, what's the business?" Xia Yao's beautiful eyes widened, her eyes clear, "My money was all compensated to me by Su Zhiqing."
Aunt Guihua's words were on her lips because Xia Yao swallowed them back.
"Yes, yes!" Aunt Guihua smiled happily and patted Xia Yao on the shoulder, "How can there be any business!"
"It's because their minds are impure!" Aunt Guihua said, her face turned ugly, "There are not many educated youths in our village who are honest!"
"They can't stay here forever." Xia Yao comforted her and said, "Just ignore them."
Aunt Osmanthus nodded and started to walk out.
Before leaving, she didn't know what she was thinking of, and suddenly lowered her voice: "I also saw you coming back, and Mrs. Tian and Cheng Dahua went back sneakily! These two mother-in-law and daughter-in-law must have been holding back nothing good. !”
As soon as the names of these two people appeared, the radar in Xia Yao's brain rang.
Xia Qingqing and Su Linlin have limited abilities here and cannot make any waves, but the Tian family is different!
"I know!" Xia Yao looked serious, "Auntie, don't worry, Lu Jingxing and I are sitting upright, their tricks are useless!"
"Then I'm relieved!" Aunt Guihua said earnestly, "You should be careful during this period! I heard! The movement in the county is in full swing! Soon the bad elements will be sent to us. !”
"Thank you Auntie." Xia Yao saw Auntie Osmanthus out the door, "I'll tell Lu Jing later!"
After closing the door, Xia Yao's face became very ugly.
The two little beans hugged the threshold and did not dare to approach Xia Yao for a while.
Lu Jing was in the kitchen just now and vaguely heard a few words. He was now standing at the door, staring at Xia Yao with dark eyes.
"I have something to tell you."
Xia Yao pretended not to see Lu Jing's wary eyes, touched the hands of the two little cubs, and dragged Lu Jing into the bedroom.
She repeated everything Aunt Guihua said just now, her face looking a little ugly.
"One is for you, and the other is for me."
"We have to be careful in the coming period."
After Xia Yao finished speaking, Lu Jing said, "During this period, there is no need to go to the back mountains and the black market."
"The money this time is enough for us to live for a while."
Lu Jing didn't notice that before he knew it, he regarded Xia Yao as a member of the family.
Xia Yao lowered his head, his expression still ugly.
What she wants is not this little money. She knows how vast the market will be after the reform and opening up ten years later. She wants to save a sum of money and wait until then to show off her skills.
At least……
She wants to open her medicinal food restaurant!
Xia Yao didn't speak for a long time, and Lu Jing realized that something was wrong with her mood.
But before Lu Jing could speak, Xia Yao raised his head.
"I will be careful."
Xia Yao said.
Lu Jing frowned. Through Xia Yao's calm appearance, he could see through her inner restlessness.
Is Xia Yao so short of money?
This thought came to him, but he didn't speak.
"We are at the Han family today." Lu Jing changed the subject, "Can you really cure Grandpa Han's illness?"
He knew everything about Xia Yao's troubles in the village, but in his opinion, Xia Yao just learned a few tricks from somewhere, and there was no real material.
But Xia Yao's words and actions in the Han family today were not at all like the Xia Yao in his memory.
When talking about how to treat Mr. Han's condition, Xia Yao's whole body seemed to be glowing.
"Of course."
As soon as Xia Yao heard Lu Jing's words, she knew that Lu Jing was doubting her, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes immediately stared at Lu Jing.
"Everything I said is true!"
"And if we don't give him treatment, he won't live for a few years!"
"You have to know that once the disease is rooted in the bone marrow, it is beyond human power to restore it."
Even so, the suspicion in Lu Jing's eyes remained unabated.
Xia Yao snorted coldly: "You will know when the time comes."
She turned away and led Lu Changbai and Lu Tiantian into the main room.
Lu Jing's eyes were deep and cold. He looked at Xia Yao's back, and a vague understanding emerged in his heart - this Xia Yao was not the same Xia Yao before.
"Brother Lu!"
Chen Zhou's words interrupted his thoughts.
Chen Zhou leaned against the doorframe with a look of anticipation on his face.
"Can I stay at our house today and have a meal cooked by my sister-in-law?"
The last time he came to the Lu family, he tasted Xia Yao's craftsmanship and was amazed. He wished he could stay at the Lu family to eat every day.
Lu Jing glanced at him, but didn't refuse.
"Ask her."
He can't make the decision regarding Xia Yao's affairs.
When Chen Zhou heard this, he smiled.
"Brother Lu, I didn't expect you to be henpecked..."
"Okay." Lu Jing interrupted him, "After you finish eating, come to me and take your money back."
"okay!"
Chen Zhou nodded quickly and trotted to the kitchen.
"Sister-in-law! What shall we eat today?"
Chen Zhou had a greedy look on his face and scanned the kitchen.
As soon as I saw the fat and thin piece of pork belly, my eyes immediately lit up.
"Braised pork."
Xia Yao said three words briefly and powerfully, which made Chen Zhou's mouth water.
The last time he had a meal at Lu Jing, he could never forget the taste!
And seeing so many different kinds of condiments in front of him, he immediately concluded that today was a big meal!
"Okay, okay!" Chen Zhou chuckled, "I'll give you a hand, sister-in-law!"
An hour later, a rich aroma wafted from the Lu family.
Tian Dashan had been hungry all day. Passing by Lu's house, his mouth watered with greed.
When he smelled the aroma, he realized that it was coming from the Lu family.
This moment was enough for all kinds of thoughts to pass through his mind.
