Chapter 287 Be my son-in-law?

"Hey, if you can help me, I will recognize you as my son-in-law, how about it?" Father Lei's eyes sparkled as he looked at Chu Ang wearing a cotton coat. Although the material was not the best, it was not patched, unlike the villagers.

"Ah..." Chu Ang was just sympathizing with Lei's father, but after listening to what Lei's father said, he almost drowned in saliva. He looked at Lei's father in shock.

"What? I think you're kind and tall. Although you're not very handsome, you have the right eyes and nose. So, do you want to marry my daughter? Even though she's a little unfilial, as a father, I can't help but worry about her lifelong affairs."

"She is eighteen years old this year, a little old, but she is capable. You know the Lei Ji Grocery Store in the county, right?" Lei's father looked at Chu Ang's tall stature. He was kind-hearted and easy to control. If he really took him back to be his son-in-law, would he be able to make money from his son-in-law in the future?

"Young man, how old are you this year? You haven't married yet, have you?" Lei's father's eyes lit up with excitement at the thought of getting money from him in the future. He held Chu Ang's skinny hands tightly and asked, "What do you do?"

"Uncle, if you're okay, I still have something to do." Chu Ang always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't put it into words. He politely declined Lei's father's words.

Father Lei grabbed him and said, "Young man, I'm introducing you to a wife, but you don't want her?"

"Master, I'm already married, I can't let your daughter be my concubine, right?" Chu Ang lied casually, he smiled and said: "Master, I really have something to do, I'll leave first."

Chu Ang said this and ran away, fearing that if he ran a little slower, he would be caught by him.

He had been without a father since childhood, and today when he encountered Lei Yan holding a knife and trying to kill someone, Chu Ang shook his head and sighed, "Sure enough, people are different."

Those who don’t have a father desperately want a father and a family, while those who have a father will just use a kitchen knife to do it.

"Miss Xiao." Lei Yan saw Xiao Jiuyue as soon as she reached the steps of the academy. She stepped forward and said enthusiastically, "Miss Xiao, it's great to see you. I brought you oranges and grapefruits from the capital."

Lei Yan immediately took things out of the carriage. The bright yellow oranges looked fresh, and the green grapefruits could be smelled sour even before being eaten.

"Thank you, Miss Lei." Xiao Jiuyue didn't hesitate and turned around and said, "Lianxin, I happen to have a lot of canned food and snacks at home. I'll bring some to Miss Lei later."

Even though she can't even recognize a few words, Lei Yan is very good at dealing with people. Ever since Lei Yan went to school in the village, Lei Yan never comes back empty-handed. Sometimes she brings melon seeds and peanuts, sometimes some new goods in the store, and sometimes some fresh toys.

Maybe it's not worth a lot of money, but you can feel his or her intentions.

"Miss Xiao, I'm so sorry." Lei Yan said with a smile, and then said: "Miss Xiao, my grocery store is now relying on you. I have to rely on others to buy oranges every day!"

After the oranges from Fu'an Village became tribute oranges, everyone was eager to try the oranges from Fu'an Village to see what they tasted like.

"Oh, there's one more thing, Miss Xiao. I noticed you had paper flowers, velvet flowers, and silk flowers there before." Lei Yan said. Fearing she might upset Xiao Jiuyue, she quickly added, "I happened to see them when I was going east and west. Later, I also saw them at Zhiyun Tower in the county."

"Well, it's just something my sister made for fun." Xiao Jiuyue answered casually. Even if the paper flowers, velvet flowers and silk flowers were placed in Zhiyun Tower, they could be sold, but the quantity was small and the price could not be raised.

"Actually, our grocery store sells everything from food and drinks to daily necessities. Sometimes we even deliver to the countryside. We also sell a lot of things like these paper flowers, velvet flowers, and silk flowers!"

Lei Yan looked at Xiao Jiuyue and said with a smile: "I was thinking, could I also buy some goods and try to sell them in the grocery store?" Lei Yan came today to pick up his brother, and secondly, for these tongcao flowers and velvet flowers.

Xiao Jiuyue did not answer immediately, but said: "This was done by my sister, I have to ask my sister."

"Of course, of course." Lei Yan looked at her and said with a smile: "Miss Xiao, then, after I pick up Lei Yan, I will go and take a look?"

"No problem." Xiao Jiuyue nodded slightly and said, "Just come over later."

"That's great, thank you, Miss Xiao." Lei Yan smiled happily. After tasting the Fu'an tribute oranges, she now deeply regarded Xiao Jiuyue as the God of Wealth. She thought of Lei Yan again and said, "Miss Xiao, there is one more thing. It's almost the end of the year, and there is a lot of work at home. My uncle goes to the countryside every day and doesn't come back until dark."

"So, I'd like to ask if Sanhuo can live in the academy?" Lei Yan finished speaking and quickly added, "Of course, I'll pay extra money."

"You have to ask the teacher about this." Xiao Jiuyue was only responsible for building the school and ensuring that Xiao Jiayuan and Xiao Jiachen could go to school. She couldn't take care of the rest.

"Okay, thank you Miss Xiao."

Lei Yan's words made Xiao Jiuyue laugh: "Whether it will succeed or not depends on you, sir."

"As long as Miss Xiao doesn't object, Miss Xiao definitely won't object. I remember that there are quite a few students from Wan'an Village who come here to study. The weather is getting colder, who knows, maybe we can find someone to live with?"

Lei Yan is particularly concerned about his younger brother. Although he has not been in school for a long time, every time he comes back, he knows everything about Lei Sanhuo's classmates.

"Sister." When Xiao Jiayuan saw Xiao Jiuyue waiting at the entrance of the academy after school, his eyes lit up and he ran towards her quickly: "Sister, we had a quiz today, and I got first place."

Xiao Jiayuan could hardly hide the smile on his lips.

"Jia Yuan is amazing!" Xiao Jiuyue handed over the sesame seed bun she had been holding in her arms: "Today I made your favorite beef sesame seed bun."

"Thank you, sister." Xiao Jiayuan took the pancake and started to eat it.

Xiao Jiuyue did not show favoritism and gave one to Xiao Jiachen as well.

The aroma of beef biscuits filled his nose. Xiao Jiachen clutched his sleeve tightly, lowered his head, and murmured, "Sister, I, I got fifth place in the exam."

"Eating sesame cakes has nothing to do with your ranking in the exam." Xiao Jiuyue stuffed the warm sesame cake into his hand.

Xiao Jiachen raised his head in shock, looking at the comfort in Xiao Jiuyue's eyes. He held Shaobing's hand, extremely excited, and said, "Thank you, sister."

"Sister, Jiachen's technique is the best." Xiao Jiayuan said as he ate beef pancakes with big mouthfuls, with steam still coming out of the pancakes in his mouth.

"Jiachen is so awesome?" Xiao Jiuyue's gentle words made Xiao Jiachen very happy. Unlike his aunt, who was about to scold him when she heard that he couldn't even pass the exam as well as the children in the village.
