Chapter 695: 695
Inside the Zhu Family’s house, the Old Lady of Zhu family scolded Zhu Nengwen, “You’ve read too many books, have you gone stupid? There are so many people passing by our front door. If you want to get Su Qingyue, you can’t do it in such a crowded ce.”
“But I’ve been wandering around the Xiao Family’s ce for quite a long time these days…” Zhu Nengwen said somewhat dejectedly, “Su Qingyue hardly ever goes out, and when she does, she’s with Xiao Yuchuan. I can’t find any opportunities…”
The olddy of Zhu family felt like she was about to vomit blood from her pent-up frustration, “The Xiao Family moves too fast! They bought ten acres of paddy fields and a plot ofnd. I heard that Xiao Yuchuan spent a lot of money on medicine to treat his frail body. Now they’re building a house… I think their money must be running out…”
Zhu Nengwen was also very annoyed, “It’s all because you insisted on selling her!”
“If she hadn’t climbed onto your bed and you didn’t sleep with her, would I have had to sell her?”n/?/vel/b//in dot c//om
“She just said she was afraid you’d hit her, that’s why she did it…”
“I can’t even hit a ve I bought?” the Old Lady of Zhu family said disdainfully, “Xiao Family’s money is almost used up. You better not provoke Su Qingyue, that cheap whore. ording to Er Gouzi’s family, the money used to buy the paddy fields and thend came from Xiao Yishan. It means Su Qingyue’s earnings are all with Xiao Yishan. We sold her and ended up only eating a loss. Your future as a Schr is more important. With our family’s assets, once you be a Schr, it won’t be a problem for you to marry a small family’s daughter.”
Zhu Nengwen didn’t speak.
How could he be content? The Xiao Family used to be the poorest household in the vige, but his Zhu family had eight acres ofnd and their life was passable. Who would have thought that the cheap woman Su Qingyue would make so much money and suddenly make the Xiao Family richer than his own!
The Zhu Family, due to theirck of judgment, became theughingstock of the entire vige. Even if he couldn’t get Su Qingyue’s money, he had to at least make her his!<div>
“Are you listening to me?” the olddy was afraid her young and impulsive son would do something foolish, “The Xiao Family’s money is all used up. You can’t make any profit and will just bring trouble. I still want you to pass the examination and be an official…”
“Fine, fine, don’t say anymore, I understand.” He wouldn’t be stupid like today, openlying here.
…
Su Qingyue arrived at Aunt Zhang’s house, but Aunt Zhang wasn’t around. Instead, Old Zhang was there.
“Oh, Qingyue is here.” Old Zhang greeted her politely, “Come in.”
“Is Aunt Zhang not at home?” She entered the yard.
“She’s gone to the field.”
Qingyue said, “Old Zhang, my family is building a new house. We need a lot of vegetables for more than one month. I’d like to buy them all from your family. How much extra vegetables do you have?”
“We have t beans and vegetables. Those two items, enough for a dozen people to eat for half a month’s share,” said Old Zhang. “We have a lot ofnd, and your aunt is a hard worker. We originally nted these to sell in the town. If your family could buy them, it would really save us a lot of trouble. But it’s not enough for a whole month’s share.”
“That’s fine, half a month is enough.” Su Qingyue said, “Eating the same vegetables every day can get boring. Right now, we’re still clearing the foundation, and there are four people eating at home, plus seven people for lunch. Let me calcte how much we need every day. All of them are strongborers, we can’t afford to have meat dishes every day, so more vegetarian dishes willplement the meat. Starting today, we’ll buy ten jin of t beans from your family every day, and ten jin of vegetables the next day, and then t beans again the following day… We’ll buy them in alternating order like this. After a few days, when the foundation is cleared and the new house construction begins, there will be more people eating. If it’s not enough, I’ll buy more.”
