C29 The First Bucket of Gold

What would Xia Yu be willing to let them take away? She didn't think it was worth it to take even a single needle from their house. In the end, she let them take two bags and a basket. After all, they were the ones who brought them here. As long as it was something that belonged to the Xia family, Xia Yu would take it back.

When the angry Lee family members left, some petty person stepped on the white ko-hemp cloth.

However, washing it didn't matter. It could only make them unhappy.

Although she had sent them away this time, Xia Yu understood that these people were like Xia Changlian, unkillable cockroaches. She was just afraid that there would be a few in the Lee family who were like Wang Xiaohui. That would be really difficult to deal with.

Shen Yao looked around at the messy house and did not know what to feel. It had been a long time since her family had been here, and now they were here to see her. It was impossible for her not to be happy, but she really did not expect her family to come here with such an idea.

The Xia family had only been living a good life for a few days. Why did they come?

Xia Yu walked over to Shen Yao's side and gently patted her shoulder. She comforted her in a low voice, "Mom, don't cry. You have Dad, Qingyun, and me. In the future, when the Lee family comes again, don't open the door.

Xia Yu knew very well that it was impossible for Shen Yao to be ruthless. Besides, she was a mute and had no words to say. In any case, she was rarely away from home, so she could stay here and back her up.

This time, the Lee family had suffered a loss, so how could they let it go? Why could the Xia family buy fabric and make new clothes? There were so many people in their family.

The entire family, including Shen Yao's own father, chose to ignore the patched and patched clothes on Shen Yao and Xia Yu's bodies.

He only saw that the Xia family had bought two new cloths, and one of them was a ko-hemp cloth. A ko-hemp cloth was not cheap, and in his hands was a mountain of gold and silver. So what if he revealed a little?

On this day, Xia Yu also discovered something. Mrs. Wang was a person with a sharp tongue but a soft heart. Even Xia Changping's brother and sister-in-law were not bad people. Perhaps the only crooked person in the Xia family was Xia Changlian.

But the Lee family was really a nest of black crows. There was a white phoenix in the nest. Other than Shen Yao, no one else was decent.

Speaking of which, Xia Qingyun's illness was not completely cured, but she insisted on going to school. It was rare for a child to have the initiative to learn, and Xia Yu would not dispel his enthusiasm, much less develop his laziness. So she insisted on sending Xia Qingyun to school.

Just as he was about to leave, Xia Qingyun turned around and smiled at Shen Yao. He said loudly, "Mom, Qingyun went to study. When I get my honors, I'll give you a title and make you my wife."

Xia Qingyun was a mischievous child. He didn't know who had said such a thing before, but he had always remembered it in his heart, so this time, he directly said it to Shen Yao.

The fog in Shen Yao's heart, which was originally filled with worry, immediately dissipated. Her work had an end compared to usual.

As Xia Changping watched his daughter holding his son's hand and disappearing into the forest, he suddenly sighed in his heart. This year, it seemed that their family's luck was exceptionally good.

Shen Yao and Yu went up the mountain. Being able to pick so many water pennyworts, Yu could benefit from the misfortune and wake up. His salary also increased a lot all of a sudden.

She could only hope that it would be like this every year in the future. It would be even better if it was more ordinary.

While Shen Yao was working, Xia Changping was also busy. He went to the mountain and brought back some wood. He was afraid that someone would remember that Shen Yao and the two children were at home and want to do something improper. At that time, Shen Yao and the two children would not even have the chance to fight back.

Fortunately, he was able to help them at the critical moment. Xia Changping's carpentry was very good, but he did not know much about mechanisms. Although the things he made were called mechanisms, they were actually things that could injure a person while lying on the ground when they were unprepared. The wood was sharp, and the danger was barely passable.

Xia Yu agreed that Xia Changping had to be very careful. Ever since she woke up, she knew that Xia Changping would not stay at home at times, so she was worried about him. Shen Yao's looks were not bad, and she was full of bold people. When that time came, the three of them would be fish on the chopping board.

Watching Xia Changping cook, Xia Yu relied on the little physical knowledge she had in her previous life to give Xia Changping advice.

She should have prepared some knockout drugs. She made them based on the information in the medical book.

She put something else in it. In ancient times, it should have been called a knockout drug.

However, the effect of the sweat-dampening medicine made from the Book of the King of Medicine should be quite good. If it were not for the fact that this medicine was not suitable for sale, Xia Yu would have considered selling it for a while.

The face mask was almost ready to be developed. Xia Yu had modified it according to the beauty prescriptions in the Medicine King's Encyclopedia.

Fortunately, she did not know how to invest in any of the things inside. Otherwise, Xia Yu was not sure if she could afford to invest. Speaking of which, this was her first bucket of gold. She had to make a name for herself. Otherwise, the rest of the business would not be easy to do.

Shen Yao looked at what Xia Yu had been doing in the house these past few days. From time to time, she would put some strange things on her face that looked like herbs. She wanted to say something to Xia Yu, but before she could let Xia Yu understand what she meant, she heard Xia Yu say this coquettishly.

"Mother, don't worry about me. I have nothing to do all day."

Xia Yu had completely forgotten about the marriage with the Lin family. Getting her to marry Lin Chengcan, that motherly boy, was a dream come true, even though she probably wanted to help her younger brother.

But when Xia Qingyun grew up, she wouldn't interfere too much. After all, Xia Qingyun also wanted his life.

But Lin Chengcan was different. Unless his mother was dead, he had no authority. He would definitely listen to his mother for the rest of his life. Aunt Lin did not like him to begin with, and Lin Ning might not be willing to let him into their house. Lin Chengcan was also a black-hearted man. If that happened, she would be the one to suffer.

Shen Yao pinched Xia Yu's tender cheeks, which were as tender as a peeled egg. She didn't have to use much strength to blush. She smiled and shook her head, gesturing to show what she meant.

Shen Yao did not feel that there was anything wrong with the fact that her daughter was getting more and more beautiful. However, there were some people in the village who had a bad mouth. They were discussing behind her back whether Xia Yu had been possessed by a vixen or not. Otherwise, how could she have become so fair and beautiful?

Recalling the words of Xia Qingyun's classmate, that little brat called Du Guangsheng, Xia Yu specially brought the herbs over a few more times. She couldn't be blamed for using the children. She really had no other way. Besides, her mask was natural and harmless. It was good for the skin and people were willing to use it.

Sure enough, Du Guangsheng's curiosity was piqued a few times. He grabbed Xia Yu and asked her all kinds of questions. He kept calling her Yu, even more intimate than Xia Qingyun.

Especially after asking Xia Qingyun what she wanted to do with these herbs, he liked to pester Xia Qingyun for a few days before revealing his intentions.

"Yu, my mother's birthday is in a few days. I want to give her a congratulatory gift, but I only have twenty taels of silver with me, so can you make a bottle of face mask and sell it to me?"

Xia Yu had no idea what the situation in the Du family was like, but looking at the child's pitiful appearance, she could not help but agree.
