Chapter 74 I Know Everything

If people from Xiaoshi Village go to the city and come back without saying anything to others, it would be as if their trip to the city was in vain.

Even though Lu Xing and her friends just went to the city to buy rabbits, some people were still curious about what they saw.

Lian Hua's mouth was always busy, and she would tell everything without being asked.

"This time I'm going to the city, besides buying rabbits, I also want to see if I can send my grandson to school in the city."

She had barely started when Old Lady Lu spoke up sourly, "Oh, your family made a fortune? You have enough money to send your grandson to school in the city?"

Lianhua hadn't seen Mrs. Lu for a long time. Her first reaction was curiosity. "What? I haven't seen you for so long. Do you have a grandson? Otherwise, why are you being so jealous?"

In one word, Mrs. Lu, who had just gone out for a stroll, was successfully driven back home in anger.

Those who knew what was going on couldn't help but laugh when they saw Mrs. Lu storming back home. "Auntie, don't you know what happened in her family?"

"What happened?"

Lian Hua really didn't know. So many things had happened before, she was too busy to handle them all and had no time to inquire about these things.

"Didn't her eldest son break up with her? And her youngest son broke up with her a while ago, too. He was annoyed that she was interfering with his work."

"Forget about grandchildren, her son almost doesn't recognize her anymore."

"She's not nice to anyone, but she's really nice to her youngest son. Now he's turned his back on her. What a jerk, isn't he?"

"Of course I am. I heard that he made a lot of money as a bartender and didn't want to have any relationship with his family, so he made up a random excuse to break off relations with his mother."

Although Mrs. Lu used to be a bit harsh, she could still speak nicely. After this incident, she wanted to say something sarcastic whenever she saw a dog passing by.

She felt that everyone was laughing at her.

Others thought it was pitiful that her two sons disowned her, so they didn't bother to take it to heart after hearing what she said. But for some reason, this seemed to make her even more jealous.

As a result, today's sour words hit Lianhua on the head, which was useless and made her angry. Lianhua always spoke like this, sounding sincere, but in fact, people who talked to her were often choked to death.

The others were too busy watching the fun to explain clearly, eager for her to finish her story. "Ignore her and keep talking. Send your grandson to school in the city. And then what? Did it work out?"

"Then I went to the elementary school principal. He was really different. He spoke in a very literary way and talked for a long time. I didn't understand a word and thought that my child's schooling was not going to work out."

"The principal said that this could be done in the city's primary schools, but it would cost extra money."

"What?"

Others were not shocked by the fact that it cost money to get things done. After all, in their village, they had to give people some benefits when they asked them to do something for them.

But the issue of going to school, coupled with the title of being in the city, always makes people feel out of reach. I didn't expect that it could be solved in such a tacky way.

Some people came to watch the fun, but as they listened, they felt jealous. Why did all the villagers go to school in this remote mountain area, but only Lianhua could send her children to the city?

It's impossible to let a widow who has nothing get things done. That would be too unfair.

Lianhua waved her hand, interrupting their wild thoughts. "What are you thinking about? If this good news really happened, wouldn't it have been spread long ago? Those are all lies made up by the principal to cheat money. My daughter Xingxing still has to go to school here."

Upon hearing this, some people felt relieved and began to comfort Lianhua, "Our school is pretty good here. Isn't Aunt Hehua's daughter-in-law a student there? She can take care of us if anything happens. It's not any worse than in the city."

"Besides, the principal of that school is so good at scamming people out of their money, it's probably not a good school. It's better for your grandson not to go there."

"Aren't you planning to raise a rabbit? Your son Xingxing goes to school here, so I'll have to pick him up and drop him off at first. Can you handle that? Or maybe I can pick up yours while I'm picking up the kids?"

This is how it is in the village. When people see others doing well, they tend to be jealous, and when they see others doing poorly, they want to help them.

"No, no, I'm already taking care of the kids, so how can I have time to raise rabbits? I'm planning to sell the ones I bought from the city. I'll just keep the ones at home and earn some money from the rabbit fur. My grandson's schooling is more important."

What she said was such a pity, and other people also felt it was a pity if they put themselves in her shoes. They had finally come up with an idea to make money, but now they had to give it up for the sake of their grandson. It was a pity to think about it.

"What? You're going to sell the rabbit you worked so hard to buy?"

Speaking of this, Lian Hua had a reluctant expression, "Ah, what can I do? My son and daughter-in-law are both out working. If I don't look after them, who will?"

"Besides, my health has been bad since I was young, and I can't do heavy work. I have no time to raise rabbits when I have to take care of my grandson."

When she was young, she injured her body while giving birth to Lu Dazhuang, and everyone in the village knew about it.

Now when I hear her talk about this, I think it makes sense. Compared to that, my grandson’s schooling is more important.

No matter how close Lianhua was to someone, upon hearing this, they would all offer some words of comfort, "Oh, you're already so old, yet you can still go out for a stroll every day, your son is filial, and your grandson is in elementary school. You're doing great."

While Sun Pingjuan was comforting her, she started to make her own calculations. "Auntie, can I buy your rabbit? We are from the same village, can you sell it to me at a lower price?"

When the others heard someone taking the lead, they also followed suit, saying, "Yes, Auntie, we have known each other for so many years, please give us a discount."

In just the blink of an eye, Lianhua sold five female rabbits.

Lu Xing sat next to them and saw the topic change from elementary school to raising rabbits. Even when Hua was selling rabbits, his eyebrows almost flew up with joy, and there was no sign of heartache on his face.

I always feel like something is wrong.

But she didn't have time to think about it carefully. Lian Hua had already made an appointment with the person who ordered the rabbit, and immediately took her home to get the rabbit.

Arriving at Lian Hua's house, Lu Xing looked around and saw that no one was around, so he asked his question, "What's wrong with your body? Why can't you raise rabbits all of a sudden?"

Lianhua, who had just pretended to be very sorry, had a lot to say after hearing this, "That's just deceiving outsiders. Who said I won't raise it anymore?"

"Then what were you talking about just now about selling rabbits? You looked so distressed as if you had lost money."

Speaking of this, Lian Hua got angry, "You don't know, I just mentioned the idea of raising rabbits outside, and I don't know whose eyes I offended."

"This wicked bastard came into my field in the middle of the night and destroyed all my newly grown vegetables. He even pinched off the buds of my pumpkins that had just begun to bear fruit. How wicked!"

"I haven't even started raising rabbits yet, and someone's already jealous. If I do start raising rabbits, they'll be so jealous they can't sleep and will drug my rabbits."

"If I catch that wicked bastard, I'll burn all his crops."

Lianhua just put on that act outside mainly to make others think that she was having a hard time, so that no one would be jealous and come to harm her family in the middle of the night.

As for the rabbits, when she bought them, the owner of the farm said they were too fancy, so she bought too many and couldn't keep them at home. She also had baby rabbits in the future, and she was worried about how to sell them.

When I was gossiping at the village entrance, I mentioned selling rabbits. I didn't expect that so many people wanted to buy them in an instant.

I guess they were all people who were attracted by the way she talked about before about making money by raising rabbits.

It's just right for her to make some money and enhance her pitiful personality.

Lu Zhixing didn't know his grandmother's complicated emotional journey. He loved these fluffy little rabbits, and now he felt a little reluctant to see his grandmother sell them. "Grandma, are you really going to sell these rabbits? Can't you keep them at home? I can cut grass for them to eat."

"Can we just keep one or two and raise them ourselves? Grandma can sell the rest and use the money to buy you some candy."

There were rabbits to play with and candies to eat, so Lu Zhixing was quickly persuaded. "Okay, I'll help grandma then."

"Okay, my Xingxing is so good. Grandma will make fried snails for you later."

Lu Xing watched Lian Hua talking and laughing with her grandson at home, and as soon as they left the house, he started pretending to be heartbroken.

It was also the first time she knew that Lian Hua had such good acting skills.

The others really fell for her trick, probably with the intention of helping her, and they were very happy to pay for the rabbits.

Lu Xing and Lian Hua have known each other for so many years, but this is the first time he has discovered that she is quite good at making money.

That rabbit-raising thing I mentioned before might actually work out.
