Aunt Liu had a smile on her face, and her footsteps became much more brisk when she left. After coming and going like this, the family gained several dollars of income. The most important thing is that this is almost a cost-free business. Raising a chicken It doesn't take much thought or cost at all, just buy a little chicken.
Aunt Liu left, and Aunt He also went in, leaving only Xia Yao, Xia Qingqing, and Lu Jing with indifferent eyes.
Taking into account Lu Jingzai, Xia Qingqing thought a thousand times, but still did not reveal her true thoughts. However, her eyes looked at Xia Yao several times, revealing an uncomfortable malice.
Xia Qingqing originally thought that such a look would be enough to make Xia Yao angry, but who knew that Xia Yao seemed not to notice and leaned close to her affectionately.
"Sister, you paid for the mutton for me, why don't you also pay for the two chickens for me." Xia Yao had a smile in his eyes, as if he was being coquettish, and his tone was very gentle, "How about you next?" Xiang, your parents must have given you a lot of money, right?"
When Xia Qingqing heard this, her fingers subconsciously clenched into fists.
Soon, she acted innocent.
"Yaoyao, don't you still know the situation at home?" Xia Qingqing asked, "Don't you know that your parents have sent most of the money to you because you always write home asking for money. We are here At home, we can only eat meat once every ten days and a half. If I go to the countryside this time, where will my parents have any extra money to give me?"
"But..." Xia Yao lowered his head and said nothing.
Xia Qingqing noticed the clues in her sight, looked down, and found the brand new leather shoes under her feet.
Her eyebrows jumped fiercely, and sure enough, Xia Yao then pointed to the leather shoes under her feet and asked word for word: "Sister, if your family has no money, how did you get these leather shoes? Did you conjure them out of thin air? Or Where did your clothes made of fine leather come from?”
At this time, Aunt He happened to come out.
Xia Qingqing's mind was spinning rapidly. She wanted to reveal Xia Yao's true face in front of Lu Jing, but she didn't want to put herself at a disadvantage. These village women were all big talkers. If Xia Yao was convinced of this today, Well, she won’t have to hang out in the Shangyang Brigade anymore.
Soon, she found a perfect excuse.
"Brother Chenghai gave me the shoes, and this dress was given to me by Aunt Xu." Xia Qingqing lowered her head and tried to look shy, "Yaoyao, I didn't tell you because I was afraid you would be angry."
Xia Yao was indeed angry, and she snorted coldly: "She didn't give it to me when I was engaged to Xu Chenghai, but she gave it to you after you got engaged to Xu Chenghai. It seems that you are the one she wants, sister." Daughter-in-law, no wonder you tried every means to force me to go to the countryside."
"Sister, I have made such a big sacrifice for you, but you are not even willing to give me two chickens. You and her are the same kind of people. As the saying goes, it is not the same family that does not belong to the same family, you two... "
"Yaoyao!" Xia Qingqing immediately interrupted the rest of Xia Yao's words, "Don't talk nonsense! You and Brother Chenghai are just joking, there is no serious engagement at all. Don't say such words again in the future!"
When Xia Qingqing said this, she even became harsh and harsh.
She just wanted to prevent Xia Yao's random words from getting out, but she couldn't see the ferocious look on her face at this moment, as if she was about to eat Xia Yao alive. Aunt He looked at it and murmured in her heart.
If this is really what Xia Qingqing said, then why is she in such a hurry?
The atmosphere fell into silence for a while. After Xia Qingqing finished speaking, she realized the mistake she had made.
She opened her mouth, but before she could speak, Xia Yao blocked her.
"Sister, it turns out that you miss me so much." It was given to you, but you still forced me to go to the countryside. Now that I have gone to the countryside, you still think it is not enough and do not give me any money. You just send me quilts in the summer. I already have two large quilts. You still send it!”
"If the family is short of money, then forget it if you don't have any money to give me. At worst, I don't want the money. But you are unwilling to send me money and you are sending me quilts at the same time. What do you mean? What do you mean? Are you deliberately torturing me?" Xia Yao became more and more sad as he spoke, and threw himself into Lu Jing's arms, crying loudly.
Lu Jing stiffened and let Xia Yao's tears wet his collar.
"No!" Xia Qingqing immediately retorted, "We in Southern Province thought that you were still living in the world of ice and snow, so we spent a lot of our family's savings to make quilts for you! How can you think of me and my parents like this? My parents are right Are you not good enough? You..."
"My parents are good to me." Xia Yao said with tears in her eyes, "But they are better to you. After all...after all, I am not their biological child."
"Who would ignore his biological daughter and take care of his adopted daughter?"
"Sister, you wear good clothes. I wear patched clothes as I should. Sister, you wear brand new leather shoes and I wear straw sandals as I should. Who makes me not their biological daughter." Xia Yao said this. , sighed lightly.
Her eyebrows furrowed, looking very aggrieved.
Xia Qingqing opened her mouth, but under Xia Yao's words, she couldn't say a word.
how so?
Obviously it shouldn't be like this!
Xia Qingqing shouted in her heart, isn't Xia Yao most afraid of her true identity being exposed? Why did she reveal her life experience so naturally? Isn't she the most vain?
Xia Qingqing questioned in her heart, but she didn't dare to say a word.
Only then did she realize what Su Linlin meant by "Xia Yao became different from before."
The Xia Yao whose temper she had figured out was gone forever. The Xia Yao now was not the idiot she knew at all!
She actually learned to be smart!
When Xia Yao faced Xia Qingqing's angry eyes, she shrank into Lu Jing's arms in fear.
"I'm scared." She choked and grabbed Lu Jing's sleeve.
Although Lu Jing knew that she was pretending to be pitiful, he still chose to cooperate with her performance.
"Although you are Yaoyao's sister, don't blame me for being rude next time." Lu Jing's phoenix eyes were gloomy, looking even more stern when he glanced at Xia Qingqing.
Xia Qingqing was forced to take a step back. She took a deep breath and then maintained her appearance.
"Yaoyao, you misunderstood me." Xia Qingqing tried her best to be calm, "Neither my parents nor I meant this. You will always be a part of our family."
"Really." Xia Yao replied lightly, "Then why did you get engaged to my fiancé just after I left?"
"So this is how much you love me? Do you treat me as your own?"
When Xia Yao said this, his chest rose and fell greatly.
She covered her eyes with one hand, grabbed the flesh of Aunt He's hand with the other, and then snorted heavily.
"I will never forgive you!"
After saying that, Xia Yao ran away.
Lu Jing strode behind her.
As a result, the draft that Xia Qingqing had prepared in her mind was completely turned into a scrap. No one else was around, who else could she tell her story to?
Looking at Aunt He's complicated eyes again, she almost couldn't breathe.
Oops!
Xia Qingqing gritted her teeth in her heart.
Xia Yao held the meat in his hand and walked quickly.
When she met Aunt Liu, she handed over the five yuan she had prepared long ago.
Aunt Liu smiled happily and personally sent Xia Yao out of the Shangyang Brigade.
Lu Jing continued to follow her, taking his time and keeping his distance from her.
Xia Yao didn't stop until he left the Shangyang Brigade and reached the turning mountain intersection.
Lu Jing looked at her and saw the smile on her brows and eyes, and subconsciously raised her thin lips.
He knew that Xia Yao had a bad temper today.
And looking at Xia Yao's eyes rolling around now, it's clear that she has other ideas in mind.
"Why don't you go back first?" Xia Yao waved to Lu Jing, "I want to go see the mountains."
Seeing the eagerness in her eyes, Lu Jing shook his head: "Let's go back together."
"Then let's go to the mountains together!" Xia Yao clapped his hands and made the final decision.
This time, she must go to the mountains to find the treasure box that Xia Qingqing picked up! She would rather sink the treasure box to the bottom than let Xia Qingqing get the money!
Seeing Xia Yao's firm attitude, Lu Jing knew that he was destined to take a trip to the mountains with Xia Yao.
"good."
This time, Lu Jing agreed readily.
Xia Yao was surprised, but she just glanced at him and nodded.
"Then let's go together!" Xia Yao handed the thing in his hand to Lu Jing, "You take it and I'll lead the way."
Lu Jing saw that she was obviously not familiar with the mountains, but she still pretended to be experienced in many battles. He was silent for a while, but he didn't expose her. Instead, he followed her, carefully observing the surroundings for her to avoid meeting her. Someone or a beast breaks out.
Xia Yao looked around, trying hard to recall the contents of the book.
The book says that Xia Qingqing fell on the hillside near Shangyang Brigade and found the box after stumbling. Did she also want to find a hillside to roll on? Looking for a stone to trip over?
Xia Yao's big peach blossom eyes were full of doubts. Seeing her wandering around here, Lu Jing's eyes became even darker.
Seeing that Xia Yao was not familiar with this mountain at all, but was sure that there was something she wanted here, Lu Jing had to wonder if Xia Yao had gotten some information in advance.
Xia Yao was like a headless fly, wandering around here.
She didn't know how many times she turned around before her eyes lit up.
There is a small hillside in front of us. If we didn't look carefully, we would not realize that it is a hillside because there are dense shrubs on the hillside.
At the bottom of the slope, there is a small earth bag that is not very obvious. The small earth bag is next to the roots of the tree. If you don't look carefully, you can't find it at all.
Xia Yao took a deep breath and his eyes lit up.
She knew she had found what she was looking for.
Just when Xia Yao was about to walk over with a long stride, someone was faster than her and beat her one step ahead.
