The sound of the crutch hitting Lu Jing was so loud that Xia Yao could hear it clearly even in the room.
But the more this happened, the more he could feel Mr. Lu's anger. Xia Yao could only stay in the room with Yang Sisi, not even daring to look outside.
Seeing her like this, Yang Sisi smiled: "Don't worry, grandpa loves Lu Jing the most. Even if he beats him, he is just worried about him."
"That's what I say..." Xia Yao muttered quietly, "But speculation is not a big deal."
What's more, Lu Jing didn't want to speculate, she was the one who coerced him.
Thinking of this, Xia Yao's face turned ugly.
Seeing Xia Yao's worried look, Yang Sisi thought she was worried about Lu Jing and gently patted her shoulder: "Don't worry too much."
In the yard, Mr. Lu was holding a stick and panting.
He had been on the farm for more than three years, and his body was much weaker than before. After beating Lu Jing more than a dozen times, he was tired.
But seeing Lu Jing's unchanging expression, he was furious again: "I think you haven't realized your mistake yet! Don't you know that the two families have been staring at you? If you die, you I’m afraid your parents will come and scold me as an old man!”
"And Dabao and Xiaobao, if something happens to you, who can they rely on?"
Mr. Lu was cursing and speaking to Lu Jing in a serious tone. However, after hearing these words, Lu Jing just raised his head and glanced at Mr. Lu.
Then, he said quietly: "Grandpa, don't worry, these things have passed."
"you……"
"I know I was wrong."
Lu Jing quickly admitted his mistake again. Mr. Lu's chest rose and fell sharply, and then he took a deep breath: "Sooner or later I will be pissed to death by you bastard!"
"Okay!" Mr. Lu waved his hand, "Tell me, how much money have you made from speculating?"
"It's all spent." Lu Jing replied immediately.
In the room, Xia Yao's eyes widened as Lu Jing said this without blushing and his heart skipping a beat, almost unable to recover.
Is this Lu Jing?
wrong! Why did he hide it?
A salty fish like Xia Yao, she doesn't have much expectation of making money. Rather than working hard to make money herself, she would rather invest in Lu Jing or Mr. Lu and just lie back when the situation is open.
So, Xia Yao thought about it and wanted to step forward and talk.
Who knew that Lu Jing's eyes would drift over with a chill at this moment.
For a moment, Xia Yao's movements froze. She looked up at the dilapidated roof, but she didn't dare to look at Lu Jing.
When Mr. Lu saw Lu Jing like this, he knew that he must be hiding something. However, thinking of Lu Jing's character, he still chose to turn a blind eye to this matter.
Anyway, even if he used coercion and inducement, as long as Lu Jing had made up his mind, he couldn't change it.
"Okay!" Mr. Lu snorted coldly, "Do you think everyone cares about your crooked melons and cracked dates? I just want to see if I can save it."
"Grandpa, don't worry. In the whole team, only Uncle Zhou is vaguely aware of it. But you also know Uncle Zhou's character. He will definitely not tell anyone."
Lu Jing in turn comforted Mr. Lu, which made Mr. Lu so angry that his beard stood on end: "You are the only smart one! Then why do you live an uneasy life?"
When Mr. Lu scolded him, Lu Jing pretended not to hear him.
Seeing that Lu Jing was unwilling to enter, Mr. Lu rolled his eyes and snorted coldly: "Okay! Don't do all these things here. Come with me to the old house to clean up. It's best to move there as soon as possible."
"Call your brother too."
Without waiting for Lu Jing to make a move, Lu Qinghe opened the door consciously.
The house is so big, and everyone in the house can clearly hear what the two of them say.
"Grandpa, the weather is good these days. Let's finish cleaning up quickly, otherwise we will be in trouble when it rains." Lu Qinghe pretended not to see Mr. Lu's glare and said seriously.
Mr. Lu nodded and was about to leave when he turned around and faced Xia Yao who had stuck his head out to observe.
Seeing Xia Yao, Mr. Lu's face, which was still gloomy just now, suddenly softened: "Yao Yao, just stay at home with your sister-in-law and wait for us to come back with some meat."
When the family is reunited, they must have a good meal, and since he has a smart granddaughter-in-law, he must have a good meal no matter what.
When Mr. Lu spoke to Xia Yao, his voice dropped eight beats. Xia Yao breathed a sigh of relief and obediently showed a bright smile to Mr. Lu.
"Then my sister-in-law and I will prepare a meal and wait for you at home."
"Okay, okay."
Mr. Lu immediately smiled brightly and felt windy when he went out.
However, when he saw Lu Qinghe and Lu Jing, the smile on his face faded again: "Hurry up and follow them!"
Seeing the three people leaving, Xia Yao breathed a sigh of relief and turned to face Yang Sisi's gentle smile.
"You rest first, I'll go cook."
After Yang Sisi finished speaking, she was about to go to the kitchen. Xia Yao came to her senses and grabbed her: "Sister-in-law, it's better for me to cook! You guys have been tired on the farm for three years, so it's time for you to have a good rest."
In fact, Xia Yao has never been tired since she arrived here. When the original owner was an educated youth, her hypocritical Xia father and Xia mother, as well as Su Linlin, who wanted to benefit from her, helped with money or efforts.
Looking at Yang Sisi who was as thin as a bamboo pole, Xia Yao couldn't do anything for Yang Sisi to do.
Before Yang Sisi could speak, Xia Yao walked into the kitchen first.
"Sister-in-law, if you have nothing to do, just spend some time with the children. They miss you."
Hearing these words, Yang Sisi's eyes turned red.
With tears hanging in the corners of her eyes, she nodded slightly.
In the kitchen, Xia Yao looked at the white rice in the jar, thought about it, and went to Aunt Guihua's house.
"Why are you here again!"
When Aunt Guihua saw Xia Yao, she subconsciously looked around. No, she caught a few people who were looking at them.
"Want to buy chickens again?" Aunt Guihua lowered her voice for fear of being heard.
Xia Yao was not afraid at all, and even raised his voice: "Aunt, our family is finally reunited. Grandpa, brother and sister-in-law are all so thin, so we must make up for it! I just thought, Use some to buy some candy from the supply and marketing cooperative and trade it with you for a chicken."
"You can't just replenish your family's health and be said to be a capitalist style, right?" When Xia Yao spoke, his beautiful eyes glanced around, "If there are still people who say that, I can't let them go! I want to Go to the county and file a complaint!”
As soon as these words came out, all the people watching the excitement ran away.
Aunt Guihua looked at their backs, then glanced at the proud Xia Yao, and poked Xia Yao's head angrily: "You, you! Don't always talk about complaining!"
"It's not all because of them." Xia Yao snorted coldly, "Most of the people in our team are good, but there is no guarantee that there won't be the same rat shit like the Tian family."
"You're right." Aunt Guihua nodded, and raised her voice the next second, "What do you mean if you want to change it or not! Auntie will give it to you to eat!"
"Back then, our family only relied on the old man to survive. It was just a chicken! What can I exchange for this? I'll give you some more eggs!"
Aunt Guihua kept her promise and took out the eggs without Xia Yao's refusal.
As for the chicken, she said, "I'll kill it for you and send it over!"
One look at Xia Yao's thin skin and tender meat, and you know she doesn't know how to kill a chicken.
Xia Yao paused and realized that she really didn't know how to kill chickens. In the past, all the chickens in the vegetable market had been processed.
"Thank you, Auntie." Xia Yao smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Then I'll go back first."
Even though she said that, she still lost three yuan to Aunt Guihua when she left.
Seeing Xia Yao run away quickly, Aunt Guihua held the money in her hand and sighed.
Forget it, I'll get some more eggs later.
However, because of Aunt Guihua's words, eggs were placed at the door of Lu's house one after another.
When Aunt Guihua brought the chickens, Xia Yao looked at the dozen baskets in front of him and almost didn't react.
Seeing her confused look, Aunt Guihua immediately said: "This is none of my business! This was taken from other people in the village."
"But……"
"They are thanking the old man!"
Before Xia Yao could refuse, Aunt Guihua started talking nonchalantly: "What we said before was not false! Your old man really saved us people."
"Now that he's out, we can't show any signs! It's just a few eggs, worthless!"
"Hurry up and take it in! Otherwise, you will look down on us!"
Xia Yao still wanted to speak, but Aunt Guihua seemed to have seen her intention, and immediately said: "Besides, even if you want to return it, where can you return it? You didn't even write your name or surname."
"We are all in the same brigade. What's wrong with giving you a few eggs to replenish your health? If there are those who are whispering, I will tear their mouths out!"
In the room, Yang Sisi heard the sound and walked out.
Looking at the eggs in a dozen baskets, she smiled: "Yaoyao, it doesn't matter, let's just accept them. We are all in the same team, and there will be plenty of opportunities to return favors in the future."
When Xia Yao heard this, it was true.
Aunt Guihua saw that the two accepted it, and then left.
Back in the kitchen, Xia Yao was just about to cook when Yang Sisi followed him in.
Looking at the pot full of white rice, she frowned: "Yaoyao, are we eating like this..."
"Sister-in-law, you are weak, so you need to eat more good food to replenish your body." Xia Yao immediately stopped her plan to make porridge, "Look, Dabao and Xiaobao were raised by me."
"I know, but our family..."
"Don't worry! I have money!"
Xia Yao's words were so impactful that Yang Sisi couldn't laugh or cry for a moment, not knowing what to say.
"Silly girl, that's your own money, how can you use it at home? You should also save some money for your children."
"Don't worry about money. Grandpa and the others will find a way."
"Then let me borrow it first." Xia Yao still refused to give in, "Sister-in-law, just listen to me! I can take care of myself!"
Yang Sisi has a gentle personality. When she heard what Xia Yao said, she did not continue to persuade her. She just secretly made a plan in her heart to let her cook next time.
