Chapter 27

Lu Qiuju's face turned red. She has always laughed at the poor but not the prostitute. But she didn't know that she was slapped in the face and was still in front of the children. Lu Qiuju had to have no money in her pocket, and she couldn't bear it anyway.

"How much is it? Can't we buy it?"

"Buy it? Sister Ju, you have to figure it out that these clothes are not cheap to buy. Do you really want to buy them?" Zhao Ying kindly reminded.

The salesperson has already determined that Lu Qiuju can't afford it. She calculated the price, "It's a total of 220 yuan."

"Why is it so expensive?" Lu Qiuju was also shocked. It was not that she had never seen two hundred and twenty yuan, but that she could not use so much money to buy clothes in one go. She regretted it and showed a hesitant look on her face.

"Swish!" Zhao Ying covered her mouth and laughed. Wang Min squeezed her eyes at Xia Qing, "If you can't afford it, this clothes belong to me. This was originally the Children's Day gift my mother wanted to buy for me."

"Then why don't you buy it on June 1st? It sold it on June 1st, so you can't afford it, right?"

Wang Min can't stand Xia Qing's excitement, "What's your business? Poor man, it's up to you that you have never worn such good clothes in your life?"

"I bought it!" Lu Qiuju said.

"Ah?" Zhao Ying refused to believe it, "Sister Ju, don't borrow money from my sister and the others anymore. I will borrow money every few days. If I want to be my sister, I will..."

Zhao Ying stopped at her mouth. Her eyes were wide open, and she looked at the stack of money that Lu Qiuju took out from her pocket with her eyes. She counted it and found that there were two hundred bills, and ten or twenty bills, which cost less than four hundred yuan.

How could Lu Qiuju have so much money at home?

Zhao Ying hated Xia Chongping to death back then, and she was dismissed from the engagement. No one in the village didn't laugh at her, so that her marriage was delayed for two or three years. There was nothing she could do to marry her current husband. In terms of character, appearance and ability, no one can compare to Xia Chongping.

Fortunately, Xia Chongping is poor. His mother is a powerful mother-in-law. Every time, Zhao Ying comforts himself with this.

But what if Xia Chongping is still poor? Zhao Ying himself would not believe that a person like him would be poor for a lifetime. However, if Xia Chongping is not rich every day, she can comfort herself and gloat about it all day.

Lu Qiuju counted the money several times before handing it over to the salesperson, and left with the clothes and shoes of the family of five.

Zhao Ying's eyes kept following the mother and son, and disappeared around the corner of the street.

The salesperson started a big business today. When she met such a customer, she was so happy that she asked Zhao Ying, "Who is this person? She looked like she was wearing a ragged dress, but she didn't expect that she was still so rich in her hands. She really couldn't judge people by her appearance these days!"

It’s all Zhao Ying’s fault, she almost offended the person.

"What, maybe all the money was borrowed."

Zhao Ying was really in the mood to buy clothes, so she held her daughter's hand and left. From a distance, she heard the salesperson talking to the family next door, "I said that they are poor and have money, so I bought it!"

Zhao Ying's face turned green with anger.

Lu Qiuju and his son waited for Xiu Dad's carriage at the entrance of the market again and returned to the village in the carriage. Lu Qiuju paid two yuan for travel expenses, but Xiu Dad refused to ask for it, so Lu Qiuju took two packs of cakes to eat for her grandson.

When Lu Qiuju came out of Xiu's father's house, Liu Manzhi came out from the front. It seemed that she had said something to Yang Jiapo and said something about Zhang and Li's family. When she saw the cake in Xiu's hand, she stared at it.

Xiu's father was embarrassed and reached out to show Liu Manzhi, "Qiuju is so polite, so he took my carriage and insisted on bringing it to thank me."

"Why shouldn't you thank me? Then horses don't have the strength to pull the cart?" Lu Qiuju didn't want to say a word to Liu Manzhi, just pretending that she didn't see her, she turned around and left.

"What did she do on the street?"

When Lu Qiuju heard Liu Manzhi asking, she didn't care. There were so many eyes in the village, and there were always people who would add fuel to the fire and tell her.

When the mother and the other two returned home, it was already noon. Xia Chongping had not come back yet, so Lu Qiuju quickly cooked.

She filled the soup in a jar and put it in the stove, and could only wait for noon to eat it. She fried two dishes with meat, and the oil in the dishes was a little more. She added a soy sauce soybean cake and a fish, and a total of four dishes. Compared to the past, it was really more hearty than the New Year.

When Liu Manzhi passed by the door, he glanced at the table in the hall and saw four dishes clearly, including fish and meat.

Just so happened that Xia Chongping came back with a plow on his shoulder, and Liu Manzhi hurriedly greeted him, "Chongping, I have something to tell you."

"Tell me!" Xia Chongping didn't have much enthusiasm. He put the plow on the ground and scraped the mud on his feet on the edge of the stone crane. Although Lu Qiuju bought him a long rubber boot that could be worn and walked in the paddy fields, he was reluctant to wear it, for fear that glass sheets and the like would appear in the field, so he wore the shoes through.

In addition, although his heel was injured a lot, strangely, it healed very quickly and did not hurt.

Xia Chongping was still barefoot and was still wearing tattered clothes.

"Where did you get the money lately?"

"Where is money?"

"If you don't have money, Qing'er will buy cakes and candy? If you don't have money, where does the fish on the table come from? I say every day that Qiu Ju people are virtuous, but they don't know how to manage the house. If you don't listen, give her the money. Look at your life, you won't be able to calculate, what is the poor like? You still eat meat, I'm afraid you won't be able to pull it out if you eat it!"

Xia Chongping couldn't listen to this. He could accept his mother scolding him. It didn't matter how ugly he was, but he couldn't take his wife and children with him.

"Mom, don't I have a penny for you? Even if she borrows money to buy food, it will be my turn to pay it back. It's not your turn to say it!"

"Okay, you are a short-lived person, you don't listen to me. OK, you can do it anymore, you are amazing. You will bully me all day long and don't take me seriously. I see how you raise your son to you in the future, and you are not afraid of retribution!"

Xia Chongping ignored her, wiped her feet clean, and entered the house. Lu Qiuju came out with the food and glanced at the door, "I've come in to have a meal, what do you say to someone?"

Lu Qiuju made another retort, and Liu Manzhi was angry.

I don’t know if the dispute here was heard by Liu Qunzhen. She was talking next door and the voice was heard all over the village, "Shuangqing, didn’t your breasts say you gave you an earring? Ask your breasts, did you give them all to Qing'er and forget you?"

When Liu Manzhi heard this, she slapped her hands on her legs, "Xia Qing, get out of here!"

Xia Qing held the rice bowl and knelt on the stool and picked up food on the table. She stuffed a bite of meat into her mouth, her mouth full of fragrance. Xiuqing and Mancheng were waiting for Lu Qiuju to pick fish bones for them, and looked at them with a longing, and saliva was flowing out.

No one in the family cared about the dog barking outside.
