Old Man Luo did not tell her about the look in Luo Jianmin's eyes when he saw him outside the door just now. After all, he was his son, and he might need to rely on his two sons for support when he gets old.
After Luo Xingci left the Luo family, she went to find Shouhou. She had not sold the dozen wild boars she had brought from the mountains before. Now she had made a fortune, and this huge wealth was finally hers.
This time she went directly to Shouhou's house to find him.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she arrived at the door, she saw Shouhou preparing to go out. When Shouhou saw Luo Xingci, his eyes lit up, especially when he saw the cart, his eyes widened and he immediately went to meet him.
"Comrade Luo, are you looking for me?" He asked softly when he got closer, "Did you bring me something good? Come in quickly." He led the person in.
Luo Xingci was wearing a straw hat and men's clothes. She took the clothes out from the space. You couldn't tell anything just by looking at the surface. No one would take off her clothes to check, right?
If someone really did that, she wouldn't mind sending him to hell!
When she entered, she found that although Shouhou's house looked old and shabby, the inside was very clean, and the furniture looked inconspicuous, but Luo Xingci knew that those things were probably worth a lot of money.
There is even a TV and a sewing machine in the corner. These things are not something that ordinary people can afford.
She didn't look at him for long, after all, it would be impolite. As soon as she sat down, Shouhou made tea for her with the best tea leaves.
"Look at what's on the cart." Luo Xingci picked up the teacup and took a sip. Although she didn't know how to taste tea, she could tell that it was good tea. She didn't have the chance to taste good things in her previous life. In this life, she must make a lot of money to try delicacies from all over the world and visit the beautiful rivers and mountains of her motherland.
Upon hearing this, the skinny monkey immediately went over and lifted the cloth covering the cart. When he saw the dozen wild boars on the cart, Luo Xingci's status immediately surpassed that of his parents.
There were also a lot of food, eggs and other things on it. He didn't know how Luo Xingci got these things, but he believed in Luo Xingci's character, and these things must have come from a legitimate source.
"I asked people I trusted to hunt the wild boars. They were just too eager for money and poked the wild boars' lair. It took us a lot of manpower to kill all the wild boars."
"Let me be frank. If I find out one day that you've cheated me, our cooperation will be void. I'm sure many people will rush to buy these things if I sell them on the black market."
"I know. Don't worry. I want to get rich, too. They say that harmony brings wealth. I won't cheat you, no matter who I am. Didn't you say before that you can exchange it for something? I just happened to get some good stuff recently. Do you want to exchange it?"
Those things are nothing compared to food. If you can't even save your life, what's the point of having those things? It's better to maximize their value. Besides, the survival of future generations is more important than anything else.
"Take me over to have a look." Luo Xingci had never seen those treasures before, but he could guess that they would be very valuable in the future. After all, in the future, these things could not necessarily be bought even with money.
The skinny monkey brought her to an inconspicuous room, and then saw him take out several paintings and some gold and silver jewelry from a large cabinet. These jewels looked so dazzling that they almost blinded her eyes.
"These things were exchanged with me by the landlords. If you want, I can get you some next time." He took out the box of gold, silver and jewelry.
Luo Xingci was shocked when she saw those things. After all, it was the first time she had seen these jewels in her two lifetimes. She finally understood why the ladies and concubines in ancient times liked these things so much. If she had money, she would definitely buy herself a truckload of them and wear them every day.
After receiving these things, Shouhou gave her five hundred yuan.
"These things are enough for me. You don't need to give me any more money." Luo Xingci kept making excuses and said he didn't want the money he handed over.
The skinny monkey was so moved after hearing this. If it were someone else, he would have accepted the money long ago. He was so lucky to have met such a good person!
"No, you have to accept this money, otherwise you will look down on me, Skinny Guy." He stuffed the money directly into Luo Xingci's pocket, then pushed him out of the door and slammed it shut, all in one smooth motion.
Luo Xingci looked at the money in her hand and shook her head with a smile. She was just pretending, but she didn't expect the other party to really give her so much money. However, she had a lot of things, the most important of which were the jewels.
When she arrived at the grove, she slipped into the space and rummaged through the boxes. An inconspicuous box successfully caught her attention.
When she opened the box, she saw an imperial green bracelet inside. It was in very good condition. She didn't put it on to see for fear that she would not be able to take it off and it would cause unnecessary trouble.
It seemed that God gave it to her as a reward because he saw how hard she had worked, so she had to accept it reluctantly.
When the policy changes in the future, I will take it out and wear it, changing one every day. Now the most important thing is to make money, become bigger and stronger, then buy land and build a house. Later I will collect rent and lie down, becoming a useless person.
When they returned to the Luo family, Wu Haixia and Old Lady Luo were sitting under the big locust tree in the brigade, chatting with those people. When they saw Luo Xingci, everyone's eyes lit up and they looked at Luo Xingci after every word they spoke.
As soon as she got close to Old Lady Luo and Wu Haixia, they came over with a smile, "Xing Ci is back? Did you buy clothes at the supply and marketing cooperative? That person said he would be here in a few days, you have to behave well and leave a good impression on others, so that it will be much easier to find a job then."
They didn't tell Luo Xingci that the factory director was there to find her, but that didn't stop them from bragging outside or lying to Luo Xingci. That was called a white lie. If Luo Xingci was liked by someone, then she would have played her best role and it would also be a contribution to the family.
Luo Xingci looked at them suspiciously, "Grandma, you didn't even give me cloth coupons, how can I buy clothes?" She rolled her eyes and then left. She had no interest in these things at all, she just had to pass by here to go home.
Those gossipy aunts looked at Old Lady Luo with disdain, cursing in their hearts: She had just told them how good she was to Luo Xingci and how she gave her a hundred or eighty yuan to buy clothes. Now, she didn't even give her cloth coupons. It was obvious that she was just putting on a show for them.
Besides, why would Old Mrs. Luo be so generous as to give Luo Xingci a hundred or eighty yuan to buy clothes? She was just bragging again.
Didn't they notice the clothes Luo Xingci wore? And there were so many children in the Luo family who didn't have to work, only Luo Xingci did. But it was none of their business, they just had to watch the show.
As soon as Luo Xingci returned home, she went into Old Lady Luo's room and searched around. Seeing this, Old Lady Luo was so nervous that she was afraid that she would steal her treasured things.
