Lu Wanqing sneered inwardly. He Shujuan herself was a bad person, yet she told Lu Wanqing to keep her mouth shut. If she really wanted to get back at her, she wouldn't have saved her whole family in the first place.

She has come to a deep understanding of the stories of the farmer and the snake, and Mr. Dongguo and the wolf.

If they don't want to rent it, then they don't want to rent it. Anyway, I'll be preparing for the college entrance exam next year, and I probably won't have time to farm as much land anymore.

This year, the income from these two acres of land is quite substantial. The rice yield is about 1,500 jin per acre, generating an income of around 500 yuan, which is a small part. However, the sudden idea of ​​raising crabs has brought in a huge sum of more than 2,700 yuan.

Considering the income and the fact that she no longer needed to pay the 150 jin of rice, she decided not to argue with He Shujuan. She simply agreed that after the rice harvest, she would return the land to He Shujuan, and that the two families would have no further dealings. She told He Shujuan not to bother her for any reason.

Who knows what He Shujuan was planning? It's rare that she left satisfied, and Yu Guanghui finally breathed a sigh of relief.

That night, Lu Wanqing and Lin Ye lay in bed, talking about what had happened during the day, sighing repeatedly.

Lu Wanqing said, "I'm afraid only someone like Aunt He could have that kind of thought process, using her son to exploit her father. Yu Guanghui is no pushover either, how could he be easily manipulated by her? The Xu family will suffer sooner or later!"

Lin Ye hugged her from behind, buried his head in her shoulder, and inhaled her fragrance, saying lazily, "He deserves his retribution! Xu Bowen will be corrupted sooner or later if he stays in their house!"

The two chatted for a long time, and Lin Ye's hands gradually became restless.

Because Lu Wanqing's good friend came, he could only have a small taste, which made him feel uncomfortable for a while.

Unbeknownst to them, the Xu family was also in turmoil tonight.

It turned out that after returning home, He Shujuan thought it over and decided to have Xu Erlai move out of the largest room and into the small room next door.

The largest room was occupied by Li Miaolian and Xu Bowen, who had been sleeping in the woodshed.

He Shujuan then told Xu Bowen that he was too old to live in the same room as his mother and sent him to sleep with Xu Erlai.

Xu Erlai was unhappy with He Shujuan's arrangements and had a big argument with her during dinner.

He Shujuan was furious. This good-for-nothing son of hers couldn't even see her good intentions.

In the middle of the night, after everyone had gone to sleep, He Shujuan secretly woke Xu Erlai up and told him to go to Li Miaolian's room to sleep.

Xu Erlai then understood his mother's intention with a grin.

Previously, He Shujuan was very wary of Li Miaolian, fearing that she would get entangled with Xu Erlai. Now, however, she has started to bring them together.

Regardless of the reason, Xu Erlai got into Li Miaolian's bed.

Li Miaolian suddenly felt a force pressing down on her body, and only then did she realize that Xu Erlai had climbed into her bed. She began to scream and used all her strength to drive him out.

When He Shujuan saw that her son had failed and Li Miaolian was making a fuss about suing him, she had no choice but to coax her, saying that Xu Erlai was sleepwalking in his dream. It took a lot of effort to finally appease Li Miaolian.

Li Miaolian finally called Xu Bowen back to sleep next to her, and the matter was considered closed.

He Shujuan only regretted that Xu Erlai was too stupid, and he didn't even get to eat the fat meat that was within his grasp. He would have to find another opportunity in the future!

......

The next day, Lin Ye went to work at school as usual. Lu Wanqing entrusted Zhao Xiaolan and Xueqiu to Aunt Luo again before going to the county town.

I've been busy lately and haven't been here for a long time.

Her first stop was the furniture store, to see if they had any suitable furniture.

When Li the Lackey saw that she was looking for furniture, he led her into the backyard, where they discovered that there was indeed a lot of mahogany and rosewood furniture.

Fearing she might find it too expensive, he preemptively said, "These are all pieces I like. I've heard that many of these pieces are hundreds of years old. We're selling them because we're short of money and it's hard to part with them, so they're not cheap."

Lu Wanqing smiled, concealing her inner elation, "Tell me the price. If it's not too outrageous, I'm willing to help you out of your immediate predicament."

The ragged Li casually pointed to a grand chair and said, "The seller said he wouldn't sell this chair for less than fifty yuan."

After hearing this, Lu Wanqing thought to herself, "It's definitely not cheap."

If you were to have a chair like this made at a carpenter's, it should only cost five yuan. However, in those days, practical items like this were more expensive than calligraphy and paintings.

Calligraphy and paintings are truly impractical, which is why they don't fetch high prices.

"It is indeed very expensive. Is there anything cheaper?" Lu Wanqing asked tentatively.

Then, Li told her the address of the scrap yard, "I'm in charge of that scrap yard. It has a lot of different things inside, maybe you'll find something you like. Just go there and tell them I recommended it."

Lu Wanqing really didn't know what a scrap yard looked like in this era, so she went there with a curious heart after finding the address.

The scrap yard has an iron gate with a registration room at the entrance. Inside, a woman surnamed Wang, knowing that Li the Scrapper had introduced her, immediately let her go in and take whatever she wanted after paying.

Lu Wanqing thanked them repeatedly and walked into the scrap yard, only to discover that it was truly a hidden world inside.

The huge open-air courtyard, surrounded by some red brick rooms, made the junkyard even better than the houses where people in the countryside lived.

She didn't have time to think about any of that and started rummaging through the pile of junk.

Just as Li the Ragman said, he probably picked out all the really good furniture, and what's left are mostly pieces that are missing parts or broken, which will take a lot of time and effort to repair.

However, inside those dilapidated homes, she found quite a few good things: gold rings hidden in secret compartments, food coupons, and even a gold bar weighing fifty grams.

It's clear that the scrap collectors at the gate don't check things carefully enough. If they knew they'd missed out on a fortune because of their carelessness, they'd be incredibly annoyed!

Lu Wanqing carefully selected and put everything she deemed valuable into her spatial storage.

Finally, she left empty-handed, then turned around and went back to the agency.

She still decided to buy the furniture in the store. Although it was expensive, the quality was good, and it wasn't like she couldn't afford it. Besides, the value would appreciate in the future, so she wouldn't lose out.

“Okay, I’ll keep it. You can find a tractor to haul it away next time,” Ragged Li happily agreed.

It's rare to find someone like Lu Wanqing who orders several pieces of furniture at once; she's definitely a big customer.

After leaving the store, Lu Wanqing went to Tiger's house.

Unexpectedly, Tiger and Li Ping had already returned, and the group was taking inventory of the goods!

Lu Wanqing brought over ten plum blossom watches this time, which she usually took out one by one from her spatial storage.

Mu Xiaoting was very happy. She had quickly sold the two watches from last time and made a small profit of forty yuan.

However, Lu Wanqing brought ten yuan this time, and she didn't have that much capital, so she had to ask her cousin to handle it.

“You arranged this deal yourself while we weren’t here, so I won’t get involved. I’ll cover the money for you first, and you can pay me back after you sell the watch!” Li Ping didn’t intend to take over her cousin’s job.

Mu Xiaoting then borrowed 1,600 yuan from Li Ping and paid it to Lu Wanqing.
