"I said Fu Xueyao was lazy and greedy before, but now she sells crayfish and sour plum soup. How could she come up with such a good idea?"
"But it's hard to say. Fu Xueyao doesn't look like someone who knows how to steal."
Listening to the whispers of others who were leaning toward her, Mother Li's eyes flashed with a faint light, and she began to smile a little evilly.
Fu Xueyao sneered at the corner of her mouth: "Apart from being miserable, you are really useless."
Li Jingmin had tears in her eyes: "Xue Yao, I used to regard you as my best friend. I would tell you everything, but you have let me down."
"Now I only ask you to return the things you stole from my house, but you are still making excuses. Are you right to me?"
Someone said aggrievedly: "Fu Xueyao, please return the prescription to me. This is an heirloom of the Li family."
"Yang Lifang is your daughter-in-law. Do you care if she does bad things?"
Fu Xueyao approached Li Jingmin and her daughter step by step, and suddenly raised her voice: "Well, I have the prescription. You said the prescription is an heirloom of your family, right?"
Mother Li affirmed: "Of course."
"Then how many years have you had this recipe in your hands?"
"More than ten years."
"Oh, it's quite a long time."
"Then as the owner of this recipe, you must know what it contains."
Mother Li frowned: "Of course."
"Why are you asking so many questions? Why don't you just give me our recipe as soon as possible?"
Fu Xueyao looked at her and said calmly and gently: "You already told me that I took your recipe, so I don't have to ask for more information."
"Since you have been writing this prescription for so long, you also said that you understand the contents of the prescription. Even if you can't remember it, you must be very familiar with it. Now don't tell me that you haven't read it. You just answered it Pass me."
"Then let's talk about the ingredients needed to make sour plum soup."
Mother Li stopped immediately: "This..."
Fu Xueyao rubbed her fingertips: "Wumei, licorice, tangerine peel, roselle..."
"Is it these things?"
Mother Li nodded quickly: "Yes, these are the things."
"Actually, the most important medicinal ingredient is missing, senna."
"Yes, yes, I think there is one thing missing, which is senna."
Fu Xueyao raised her voice: "Are you sure?"
Mother Li said resolutely: "Of course." Mother Li took it for granted. Since Fu Xueyao had said it unconsciously just now, it must be true.
She could almost see a better life in the future.
When he makes money, he will go to the city to find his son, and then let his son marry a beautiful city wife and have a few fat babies, and his life will be wonderful.
Fu Xueyao suddenly laughed: "Pfft, if you sell this kind of sour plum soup, it will be good if the customers don't beat you to death. How can any idiot put laxatives in sour plum soup?"
"Stop pretending. People are so stupid, and they still come to frame me. It's really stupid."
"Your daughter only used this trick last time. This time she has an extra helper, but it's of no use. At most, it's just two cobblers."
After hearing what Fu Xueyao said, Mother Li hurriedly explained: "Just... I remembered it wrong just now."
Fu Xueyao was too lazy to pay attention to her. "Okay, stop pretending, stupid people are suitable for doing things down-to-earth. Do you think anyone believes you?"
After the scene just now, everyone realized that the Li family's mother and daughter were lying.
"Tsk, I thought they really had a prescription stolen. It turns out they were blackmailing people. They really weren't embarrassed and didn't leave quickly even after being exposed."
"If I were her, I would just hit her to death. How can there be such a person?"
"I'm just jealous of others making so much money."
In the county seat, the home of Lu's second brother and second sister-in-law.
Brother Lu sighed deeply: "My dad is really a stubborn old man. What's the use of guarding that old thing? I think he just doesn't want to give it to me and wants to leave it to my eldest brother."
Second Sister-in-law Lu, Shen Meng, curled her lips disdainfully: "Isn't this also expected."
Shen Meng didn't really like the short-sighted rural people. Their eyes would always only see the one-third of an acre of land, and they could never see anything else.
"What else can dad do?" Lu Xingfeng turned his attention to his wife, Shen Meng.
"What else can be done? All the relationships that should be gone are gone."
Brother Lu punched his leg angrily.
Lu Xingfeng is an accountant in a textile factory. The factory's accounting supervisor will retire in two months. He is a carrot and a pitfall. This time he wants to take advantage of this opportunity to get promoted.
But there is still a person with relatively senior qualifications among the accountants. If it were a fair competition like this, he would definitely not be able to compete.
The final confirmation of the personnel promotion list requires the signature of the deputy director.
Lu Xingfeng wanted to do whatever he wanted and make that position his own. He learned that the deputy director particularly liked wood carvings, but ordinary ones would definitely not catch the deputy director's eye.
Lu Xingfeng then remembered the pine wood carving handed down from his ancestors to welcome guests.
He used to learn carpentry with Father Lu, so he also knew about wood. He knew clearly that it was made of Dalbergia rosewood.
If he gave the welcoming pine as a gift to the deputy factory director, that position would definitely be his.
But no matter how Lu Xingfeng tried to persuade him, Father Lu just wasn't willing to give it up.
Suddenly Shen Meng said quietly: "Actually, giving gifts is not the only way."
Lu Xingfeng was instantly surprised, and he hurriedly asked: "Then what else can be done?"
“When I was chatting with my colleagues a few days ago, I heard that the deputy factory director and his wife were preparing to find a satisfactory daughter-in-law for their son.
Lu Xingfeng said: "What does this have to do with us?"
"You are stupid, don't you have a sister?"
"Although she is a rural girl, her appearance and figure are what make her better."
Lu Xingfeng frowned when he heard the word rural.
"Can you stop mentioning the countryside all the time?"
He also comes from the countryside. Every time he hears this word, he always feels that he is mocking himself.
Shen Meng choked and said, "Why are you instructing me? Don't forget that everything you have now was given to you by me."
Lu Xingfeng said no more.
Seeing Lu Xingfeng's silence, Shen Meng curled her lips and then continued: "If Lu Zhiyun and the deputy factory director's son become friends, then our two families will be in-laws, and then we will be helping each other between relatives. , do you think the deputy director can help?"
The son of the deputy factory director? He seems to have heard others mention it, and his reputation is extremely bad.
"Is the factory director's son the one who does nothing all day long, gets into trouble everywhere, and gets into trouble everywhere?"
Although he, Lu Xingfeng, didn't care much about his sister, he wouldn't introduce her to such a person.
Shen Meng: "It's not such an exaggeration. Besides, she has such a good family background. If she didn't have some shortcomings, how would Lu Zhiyun have the chance to marry her?"
She seemed to see Lu Xingfeng's hesitation and continued to persuade: "Lu Xingfeng only has this chance. You don't want to stay in this position and be a little accountant."
"Besides, no matter how good Factory Director Lu's son is, his family is still rich and powerful. Lu Zhiyun will not suffer a loss if she marries him. You see, her grades are not particularly good now. She will not be admitted to any university or high school in the future. You still have to get married after graduation.”
"You won't be able to find such a good in-law by then."
Lu Xingfeng was gradually moved by Shen Meng. In fact, what his wife said was right. The deputy factory director's family was rich and powerful, so there would be nothing wrong with marrying his younger sister.
People live in this world just for money and power. If my sister really gets married, it will not only be good for herself, but it will also be helpful for him.
"Okay, I promised. I'll mention it to mom next time I get home."
Shen Meng immediately became happy and held Lu Xingfeng's arm. "I knew you were a promising person."
Shen Meng is the only daughter in the family, so her future husband is destined to be a wife.
At that time, she had been kissed many times, but she was not satisfied. They all looked crooked.
The first time she saw Shen Xingfeng, his face was indeed handsome, if nothing else.
She felt that Shen Xingfeng had no shortcomings except that he was born in a rural area.
——
"This kid, why did you send such a thing back this time?"
Mother Lu couldn't help but sigh when she looked at the big package.
In fact, this package is not that big even though it is said to be big. It’s just that the express packages sent by Lu Xingzhou in the past were not as big as this one.
Father Lu went to the post office in the county today and picked up the package sent by Lu Xingzhou.
"There are two more letters. This one is from the third daughter-in-law." Father Lu handed one of the letters to Fu Xueyao.
"Mine?" Fu Xueyao took it with a little confusion.
She actually didn't remember much about her cheap husband. Her eyes were blurry that night and she could only see a little outline.
The strange thing is that the original owner's memory of Lu Xingzhou is also hazier.
Fu Xueyao only remembered that Lu Xingzhou was a man with good physical strength.
But this man actually wrote to her, and she didn't know what he wrote.
She took the letter back to her room, sat down by the window, and tore open the envelope.
Unfolding the letter, Fu Xueyao was first attracted by this word. The writing was sonorous and powerful, but it did not appear rigid at all. Instead, it was flowing and flowing, and the writing was like clouds of smoke.
If one insists that words are like people, then Lu Xingzhou's character must be as free and unrestrained as the words, but also delicate and tender.
There wasn't much content in the letter. It was mainly about his apology when he went on a mission during their wedding. He was also asking for her opinion on whether she was willing to live with him for the rest of her life.
In Fu Xueyao's previous life, she had never been a non-marriage person, and certainly not a forced marriage person.
She used to think that if she could meet the right person, she would definitely get married, but if she couldn't, she wouldn't force herself to be with someone she didn't like.
She didn't know much about Lu Xingzhou, but Fu Xueyao liked the Lu family very much.
However, she still wanted to take another look at the matter between her and Lu Xingzhou.
Mother Lu outside the door shouted: "Xue Yao, come and see what is in this pile. Why have I never seen it before?"
Fu Xueyao was surprised when she saw what Mother Lu put on the table.
These are the seafood that Fu Xueyao has been talking about for a long time, dried abalone, isinglass, shrimp skin, scallops, and prawns.
Mother Lu was still nagging: "Why do you send these things to Xingzhou? They look weird."
"Mom, these are all good things, nutritious and delicious."
After hearing what her daughter-in-law said, Mother Lu's face showed a look of satisfaction.
"As long as you like this thing."
She thought her son had bought a bunch of junk, but when she heard Xue Yao said she liked to eat such seafood, she couldn't be happier. She didn't expect her son to be quite good at shopping.
"Xue Yao, go to the county town and call Xingzhou tomorrow. Just tell him that we have received the package from him and ask him to take good care of himself outside. Don't worry too much about me and your dad. We are both fine. "
Fu Xueyao nodded and agreed.
Early the next morning, Fu Xueyao used yesterday's seafood to stew a pot of fragrant seafood porridge.
"I didn't expect this thing to be ugly, but the porridge cooked here is quite fragrant." Mother Lu said while drinking the porridge.
"Well, third sister-in-law, I really admire you. Everything cooked by your hands is delicious. I'm so happy."
In the month since my sister-in-law got married, she has really eaten all kinds of delicious food, and her face has become a lot rounder.
"Auntie, it's delicious." Lu Yue sat next to Fu Xueyao and said with a sweet voice.
Fu Xueyao curled up the corners of her mouth and rubbed her head with a very gentle expression: "It's delicious, Yueyue, please eat more."
"Sister-in-law, I will go to the city with you later."
Lin Xiangyu raised her eyes: "Don't you have a day off today?"
"I'm going to call Lu Xingzhou back."
Lin Xiangyu glanced at Fu Xueyao meaningfully and nodded with a smile. "Okay, let's go together later."
Fu Xueyao didn't quite understand her sister-in-law's smile.
Lin Xiangyu's business is now on the right track. She can earn a steady income of sixteen or seventeen yuan a day. Excluding profits, she can earn eight or nine yuan a day.
After arriving at the county seat, Fu Xueyao and Lin Xiangyu separated.
The two of them were going in different directions, so Fu Xueyao needed to go to the post office to make a call first.
Not long after the call was broadcast, the call was connected on the other side. The operator's voice was cold: "Hello, this is the Yuncheng Army. Who are you calling for?"
"Hello, I am Lu Xingzhou's... wife. I would like to find Deputy Lu."
After hearing Fu Xueyao's answer, the voice on the other side was no longer as cold as before.
"OK, wait."
After a while, Fu Xueyao heard a very serious self-introduction: "Hello, I am Lu Xingzhou."
"Pfft." Fu Xueyao couldn't help but smile, imitating his tone and said, "Hello, I'm Fu Xueyao."
There was silence, and Fu Xueyao thought the signal was interrupted.
"Hey, can you hear me?"
A low, sexy and magnetic voice sounded: "Yes, I can hear it."
Fu Xueyao: "..." It's quite embarrassing. Except for that night, the two of them are basically strangers, and she thinks she is the same person.
"Well, we received the package you sent. The seafood is delicious."
"As long as you like it."
"My parents asked me to convey a message to you, saying that you must remember to take good care of yourself."
"good."
