C5 Make a Fortune

Those old scholars had all experienced the science examinations themselves, so of course they were better than Lin Chengcan.

Xia Yu could not say anything, so she pulled Xia Qingyun to the side and whispered, "Can't you see that their family doesn't agree?"

"Why can't I see that? Dad wants me to learn that, so I can only swallow my anger."

Xia Yu whispered in his ear, "If you don't like him, then say it. There's nothing in this world that needs him. When the time comes, we'll definitely think of other ways."

However, Xia Qingyun was very hesitant, "If I come out and mess things up, father and mother will definitely be angry. This meal will be treated for nothing."

In fact, it wasn't a waste of time. Even if Xia Changping didn't have the intention, he would have invited the Lin family as guests. After hearing Xia Yu's words, Xia Qingyun became a little bolder. "Then if I mess up, sis, can you think of a way?"

For some reason, Xia Qingyun used to feel like an older brother protecting Xia Yu, but now that Xia Yu was no longer a fool, she was like a big sister. As long as Xia Yu said she could do it, he felt that she could do it.

"Yes, I promise you. I won't ask the Lin family, I'll find a way for you."

With Xia Yu's words, Xia Qingyun was no longer worried. "Alright!"

When the Xia family heard that the village was going to harvest grain, they were just about to ask someone about the location of the harvest when Aunt Zhou arrived. When she saw Xia Yu sweeping the ground, she stared at her when she arrived, making her hair stand on end.

"Oh, this fool is no longer a fool today. He even knows how to sweep the floor. How strange."

"That's right! In any case, everyone in the village thinks that I am a fool. Who would feel strange if I, a fool, killed you?"

"You!" Aunt Zhou was about to curse, but she suddenly thought of something: "That's not right, your girl was really stupid in the past. I watched her grow up. Why does she not look stupid now? It's as if she's a different person."

Aunt Zhou said as she looked around Xia Yu. She looked like she wanted to see a hole in Xia Yu's body.

Xia Yu did not stand on ceremony with her. She raised her broom and hit her. "Get lost! Don't cry if you get hurt by me!"

Aunt Zhou was really frightened by her. She quickly dodged to the side. "Who are you trying to scare? I think there's something wrong with you, little girl..."

Then she turned to look at Shen Yao. "There's something wrong with you too! There must be a big problem with your family!"

There was still a problem! This woman was just jealous that other people had money to spend, but her family was so poor that she could not bear to see others do well.

Xia Yu hit her again with the broom. The woman was so frightened that she quickly ran away.

In the end, she did not say where she was going to hand over the food, but they knew one thing. It was almost time to collect the food. Their family would still have a decent income.

"Mom, I will go ask somewhere else. She doesn't need to tell us."

However, Shen Yao quickly pulled her back and kept shaking her head. She looked like she was telling Xia Yu not to go yet.

Xia Yu thought about it for a while. Now that Xia Changping was not at home, there were only the two of them in the house. If Xia Yu left again, Shen Yao would be the only one left.

Xia Yu was worried that she would be the only one left at home.

"All right then. I won't go out for now. When Dad and Brother come back, I will go out and ask them."

This time, Shen Yao nodded her head. Xia Yu knew that she had guessed right.

After they prepared the delicious food, Xia Changping returned with Xia Qingyun. The two of them were panting and sat down to rest as soon as they entered.

Shen Yao quickly brought water in for them to drink. After they calmed down, Xia Changping began to talk about the situation today. "I went to the village over there and asked around. There are really a lot of scholars there. And I also heard that there was a very powerful gentleman there who was said to have brought out the jins from their village. I want Qingyun to meet him. "

"Haven't we already gone there? Why haven't we seen him yet?"

"I went to ask around. The people in the village said that the old man went out for a trip. I plan to ask around in two days."

It could be seen that Xia Changping attached great importance to Xia Qingyun's matter and wanted the best.

"Alright, but father, if that old man hasn't returned yet, you don't need to beg him. Let's find one to learn from first."

Xia Changping nodded his head repeatedly, "I know that. Don't worry, Yu."

After that, Xia Yu told Xia Changping about Aunt Zhou coming to the house to cause trouble again today. "I think she's probably here to see what exactly is in our house and to steal our way of earning money. But I've put them out with a broom, and she didn't say where to harvest. '"

"Don't worry. I'll go to the village and ask the men."

There were not as many things between men as there were women. Everyone would tell Xia Changping.

"Alright..."

Xia Changping went over to comfort Shen Yao, "Don't be angry. It's not good for your health if you get angry."

His tone was very gentle. Shen Yao could not help but blush and lower her head.

Xia Changping went to the village in the afternoon to ask questions. In fact, the place where the grain was harvested was at the entrance of their village, so Aunt Zhou came to their house as an excuse.

At the same time, the more Aunt Zhou thought about it at home, the more confused she became. How did the Xia family suddenly have money?

Their family still ate chaff. In the past, they used to be the poorest family in the village, but now, they were living better than her family. Why?

Aunt Zhou felt unfair. She put on her coat and went out.

Xia Changlian was still in her own house, quietly reflecting on her mistakes. She had not gone anywhere in the past few days, afraid that she would make Xia Changping unhappy again.

She and Wang Xiaohui were at home sewing. Autumn was winter, and it would be too late to add clothes when it was cold, so they prepared winter clothes in advance.

At this time, someone knocked on the door. Aunt Zhou even shouted inside, "Sister Xia, are you in the room?"

Ever since the villagers in the village found out about Xia Changlian's shameful deeds, they did not like her. She did not have any other friends or relatives, so no one cared about her.

But today, someone actually came to knock on the door. Xia Changlian felt that it was very strange. "Who is it?"

"Sister, it's me. I'm Sister Zhou from next door to your brother's house."

Xia Changlian put down her work and opened the door for Aunt Zhou. When she saw her, she politely said, "Sister Zhou, why are you here?"

"Isn't my heart aching for you? I came to see you."

Xia Changlian, who had been ignored for a few days, couldn't help but feel a surge of warmth in her heart. "I didn't expect that you would be willing to come and see me when I only had a few words with you in the past, Sister Zhou."

"Look at what you're saying. You've given me quite a few benefits in the past. I still remember the few big steamed buns you gave me."

When she first came back from her husband's house, Xia Changlian was afraid that the people in the village would say that she was an outsider and that she was not allowed to stay in the village for long, so she used the money left over from her husband's house to send things to the people in the village.

Xia Changlian smiled. "Sister Zhou actually still remembers."

"Of course I remember. You are a kind person, I know that too."

Since she had started to flatter him, Xia Changlian was naturally happy and quickly invited him into the room.

As soon as she sat down, Aunt Zhou began to speak: "I don't think your brother is kind. Your parents gave birth to you and your sister. Your brother, on the other hand, is going against you for his own sake."

These words reached Xia Changlian's heart:" That's right! When he was young, he was the only man in the family. All the good things in the family were given to him alone, but I didn't get anything. Now that I'm in trouble, he still stepped on me. He's really inhumane! "
