Chapter 73 Check the Origin
A fat woman running on the road attracts a lot of attention.
A nosy villager ran after Chu Xuan and asked, "Where are you going so quickly this early in the morning?"
Only then did Chu Xuan realize that many people on the street were looking at her.
If the villagers knew that she went to Mu Chenze's house early in the morning, there might be some scandal.
Her reputation doesn't matter, she has to consider Mu Chenze's reputation.
Chu Xuan patiently explained as he ran forward, "I'm not going anywhere. I'm exercising and trying to lose weight."
Even so, several villagers still followed her all the way.
Because of that dream, she wanted to go to Mu Chenze's house as soon as possible to see if he was safe. Now she has calmed down and realized that it was just a dream and it was definitely not real.
There's no need to make a fuss.
Keep running forward.
Seeing that she was really exercising, the villagers stopped following her and went about their own business.
Chu Xuan ran around the village twice. She said she was running to lose weight, but in fact she was just brisk walking because she couldn't run for long.
Even so, I was still exhausted, panting and sweating all over.
Return home, wash up, and change into clean clothes.
When Chu Xuan was sitting in the yard washing clothes, Chu Feng came over and whispered cautiously, "Sister, I heard you calling Mu Chenze's name. Do you like him? Do you reject him because you feel you are not worthy of him?"
Chu Xuan stood up and stretched out her hand to measure Xiao Feng's height. "You're not even as tall as my shoulders. How old are you? Do you still understand what people like or dislike? I called Mu Chenze's name because in my dream I asked him to come to our house to get grilled fish fillets."
"Is that true?"
"Of course. If I hear anything like what I heard today again, I won't buy you pork belly! I won't buy you anything you like to eat!"
Chu Feng immediately promised, "Don't worry. Sister, I will never mention this again."
"That's more like it. I'll go to town later."
"Great! Sister, buy some pork belly and make some oil from it. The oil residue is so fragrant."
Even though he had eaten so many dishes yesterday, Chu Feng still craved meat.
Chu Xuan patted his shoulder lightly and said, "Help me wash the clothes, and I'll buy you one."
The basin is full of clothes for outside wear, so it’s no big deal to ask Xiaofeng to help wash them.
"no problem!"
Chu Feng washed the clothes quickly and reminded Chu Xuan to go to the kitchen to drink Chinese medicine and have breakfast.
Chu Xuan was speechless to himself. He just ran around the village twice, and his younger brother had already boiled the Chinese medicine and prepared breakfast.
How slow is she running?
This body definitely needs to be exercised.
After drinking the Chinese medicine, he put on his backpack, took a few dozen dollars, and went out.
Just then, Widow Niu came over with a cart of skinned fish.
Chu Xuan greeted her but didn't lend a hand.
With Widow Niu's physical strength, she doesn't need Chu Xuan's help at all.
I had just taken a few steps outside when I met Qin Mahua who came to work.
Chu Xuan took the initiative to ask, "Aunt Qin, did Mu Chenze go to the city to sell fish in the early morning?"
Qin Mahua responded nonchalantly, "No. He said he was too tired and wanted to take a day off. He just got up and is eating at home."
Hearing this, Chu Xuan knew that Mu Chenze was fine.
"When you go home to rest at noon, don't forget to remind him to come over to get the grilled fish fillets in the evening."
"Don't worry! I won't forget you. Xiaoxuan, go and get busy. Xiaofeng and we are at home, so don't worry."
"good."
Chu Xuan waved his hand and walked forward.
Qin Mahua walked into the yard with a smile.
Ten minutes later, Chu Xuan arrived at the village entrance waiting for the carriage, and just happened to meet Liu Dapeng driving a tractor.
There was no one around at the moment, so Chu Xuan shouted directly, "Liu Dapeng, are you going to the county? Give me a ride to the town!"
Liu Dapeng consciously stopped the tractor, moved to the connection between the truck bed and made a gesture of invitation.
She has been given a ride several times.
Chu Xuan felt that this person was quite sensible and wanted to help him.
Sitting in the driver's seat, neither of them said a word at first.
As they approached town, Chu Xuan said as he drove the tractor, "Haven't you always wanted to find a way to make money? Here's your chance!"
Liu Dapeng earns money to support his family by driving a tractor. His income is supposed to be good, but unfortunately, his mother is a sickly person and the medical expenses are more than he earns every month.
Even so, Liu Dapeng still did not abandon his old mother, even though he could not find a wife because of this.
The tractor's rumble was very loud, and Liu Dapeng didn't hear clearly what Xuan said. He vaguely heard the word "money", "Chu Xuan, please speak louder. I didn't hear clearly just now."
The town was just a few steps away, so Chu Xuan simply braked, turned off the engine, and got out of the car.
"There's an opportunity to make money right here! Do you want to take advantage of it?"
This time Liu Dapeng heard it clearly, "Tell me what you said."
"Isn't the village raising funds to build a grilled fish fillet factory? You can go and invest. Villagers will be accepted to invest for three days. After three days, the village collective will make up the difference. Individuals won't have the opportunity to invest then."
"I heard about this from Village Chief Wang this morning, but my family has no money."
"Go borrow it from your uncle's house!"
"I don't want to cause trouble for my uncle."
"You're causing trouble for your uncle's family if you can't earn enough money to pay for your mother's medical treatment. Your uncle loves you, his sister, very much. It's impossible for him to ignore your mother. Wouldn't it cost money to pay for her medical treatment when the time comes? It would be better for you to borrow money to buy shares now, get the dividends in the future, and repay your uncle well. If you miss this opportunity, you'll never get it again."
Liu Dapeng looked hesitant and said, "Let me think about it."
Having said that, Chu Xuan was too lazy to persuade him any further. "I'm here. You can drive away!"
Liu Dapeng said thank you, started the tractor and drove away.
Chu Xuan then remembered that she had forgotten to pay the fare, and could only pay it after seeing him.
No one noticed that Liu Dapeng's ears were red and he was obviously shy.
For Liu Dapeng, this was the first time that a friend of the opposite sex took the initiative to care about him.
More than ten minutes later, Chu Xuan walked into the One-Eyed Dragon's shop carrying two kilograms of pork belly and two bottles of wine. The shop was deserted.
"Uncle Long, I brought you something."
The one-eyed man quickly stood up and greeted him warmly, "Xiao Xuan, just come if you want to. Why are you carrying all this stuff? Take the meat back to nourish your brother and return the wine. Also, my brother just sent me a fat rooster. I'll chop it in half for you to take away."
Chu Xuan chuckled, "I just want to ask you for a favor, don't I?"
"If you need me, just let me know. But I absolutely don't want anything you brought. Last time I ate the pork you gave me, I dreamed about your mother blaming me for three consecutive days. I promised your mother that I would help you if you needed me."
"My mother is my mother, and I am me. As a younger generation, it is my duty to respect you."
"Okay, I'll take it. But you can take the big rooster with you later. I'm just being considerate of you, a junior. Otherwise, don't ask me for help."
Chu Xuan had no choice but to agree.
"Okay, I'll take it! Thank you! Uncle Long, I remember one of your brothers is a scouting agent. Can you ask him to help me keep an eye on Feng Chunhua and see how the money in her hands came out..."
Chu Xuan informed Feng Chunhua about her recent situation in detail.
Uncle Long frowned after hearing this. "I heard from a fellow that an old woman came to him twice recently to sell gold jewelry, totaling tens of thousands of yuan. I'll have him come over and draw a portrait of that woman. If it's really her, maybe we can find out something about the origin of the gold jewelry..."
