Chapter 511: The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken, with ill intentions
"There's too much money, and it burns quickly."
Jiang Wenhao stood up and gave this comment.
Otherwise, who would be so desperate as to build a house for the crops? Isn't this a typical case of having money but nowhere to spend it?
Lin Mo, “…”
So, this is who I am in his eyes?
"Yes, I'm poor now and the only thing left is money." Lin Mo looked at Jiang Wenhao pitifully:
"Master Jiang, how about you lend me some money? I can prove to you that I am really so poor that I only have money left."
Jiang Wenhao curled his lips. He was really so poor that he only had money left. Why did he come to him to take over?
He shook his head. "Do you really want to borrow it?"
Seeing Lin Mo nod, Jiang Wenhao reluctantly took out two banknotes from his pocket and said, "This is all the money I have. It's no problem to lend it to you, but the question is, when will you pay me back?"
Lin Mo looked at the trembling hand in front of him with an expressionless face. Two hundred taels, he, the Minister of Agriculture, was really rich.
A high-ranking official in someone's family only had two hundred taels of silver on him.
Seeing that Lin Mo didn't take it, Jiang Wenhao felt a little embarrassed:
"Take it, don't complain about it being too little.
When I left this time, I was in a hurry and didn't bring much money with me.
I'm not in a hurry to use this money. You can return it to me when I leave here. After all, this is our travel expenses back to Beijing."
Lin Mo shook his head, "Forget it, if you give me this little money, it won't even make a splash, you should keep it for yourself.
To be honest, I was embarrassed to take it.”
Jiang Wenhao was embarrassed, but he stuffed the money into his pocket without hesitation. "Actually, I was a little embarrassed to take it out. Please forgive me for making fun of you."
Lin Mo, “…”
This person is shameless.
Then he gave him a sympathetic look and said, "You are a high-ranking official, but you live in such poverty. Does your family know? Does the emperor know?"
Jiang Wenhao frowned, with disapproval on his face, "Why am I poor?
I feel like my thoughts are very rich, my head is full, I..."
"stop!"
Lin Mo interrupted him with a stern face:
"Others believe that 'Books contain golden houses and beautiful women', but your golden house and beautiful woman are in the ground. I understand."
Jiang Wenhao was confused. He felt like she was playing a trick on him, but he had no evidence.
But it seems that what she said is not wrong.
He was indeed looking for his golden house and beautiful wife in the fields.
Jiang Wenhao smiled bitterly, so she was really not wrong.
He sighed, "Mrs. Xu, I have to admit that you are so eloquent."
After saying a few other words, Jiang Wenhao quickly found an excuse to leave. If he stayed any longer, he didn't know what to say.
Looking at Jiang Wenhao's back as he walked towards the farmland ahead, Lin Mo's mouth curled up and a meaningful look appeared on his face.
At this time, Xu Pinggui came over and lowered his voice, "Young Madam, they are making a move."
"Well, keep an eye on them. They should be taking action." Lin Mo looked ahead nonchalantly.
"When will He Minhao from the He family in Hexi City arrive?"
"If nothing unexpected happens, ten days later." Xu Pinggui lowered his head.
Lin Mo calculated the time and found that the matter here had been resolved by about that time.
fine.
At this time, Jiang Wenhao, who had already walked far away, kept looking at the crops around him.
He had to admit that the people here really cared about taking care of these delicate potato seedlings.
Each one is growing well.
A hint of confusion flashed in Jiang Wenhao's eyes, but he finally calmed down.
After glancing around and seeing that no one was around, he lowered his voice:
"Send him a message saying everything is calm and there doesn't seem to be any problems."
After saying this, Jiang Wenhao sighed.
The scene here is very similar to the prosperous era he imagined in his mind, but unfortunately...
Jiang Wenhao shook his head slightly and continued walking forward.
evening.
When Jia Lianhua got off work and was about to go back to her residence to rest, she was stopped by her half-sister.
"Mom asked you to go home for dinner." Jia Juhua looked at Jia Lianhua, who was dressed in new clothes, and a hint of jealousy flashed in her eyes.
This bitch has gained so much whiter skin and is dressed so beautifully.
There wasn't a single patch on her clothes.
And I...
Jia Juhua looked down at herself, a flicker of disgust in her eyes.
When he looked at Jia Lianhua again, his eyes became even more unfriendly.
Just because she came here, I have to do all the housework myself.
Not only did I get tanned, but my fingers also became much thicker.
What's more, her mother was actually clinging to the bitch and providing her with good food and drink during this period.
Afraid that she wouldn't go back, he asked me to invite her back, saying that he would beat me if I didn't invite her back.
Damn, why is her face so big?
Jia Lianhua always knew that her half-sister didn't like her, so she didn't bother to show her any warmth.
"I'm tired and want to rest, so I won't go back. You guys can eat by yourselves."
After saying that, she was about to leave.
But how could Jia Juhua let her leave like this? She immediately reached out to stop her:
"You have to go back. Your parents prepared this meal especially for you. If you don't go back, won't you be letting them down?"
Thinking of the harsh words her mother said when she came out.
Jia Juhua simply reached out and grabbed Jia Lianhua's hand, dragging her towards home, "Come on, come back with me.
Jia Lianhua, why are you pretending? There's something delicious, and you still want someone to treat you.
One person isn't enough. If you want to invite several people, please tell me clearly so I can invite everyone next time."
If she doesn't go back, her mother will break her legs. Why?
I'll drag her back by myself.
A hint of displeasure flashed across Jia Lianhua's face, and she pulled her hand back forcefully, "Don't pull me, I'll just go back."
After saying that, he raised his foot and walked forward.
A hint of disdain flashed in Jia Lianhua's eyes. It seemed that her stepmother was about to take action.
Looking at Jia Lianhua, who was walking in front of her and made her feel unattainable, Jia Juhua's eyes flashed with hatred.
Jia Lianhua, just wait for me, I won’t let you go.
Before she got home, Jia Lianhua saw her good stepmother standing at the door, craning her neck and looking over here.
When he saw her, he immediately rushed out of the house enthusiastically:
"Lotus, my dear daughter, you are back.
Come home quickly, I made you some braised pork."
…
This scene left the surrounding neighbors stunned.
"Is Liu taking the right medicine? Why is she suddenly so nice to Lianhua? She even stewed braised pork for her. Is this the sun rising from the west?"
"The weasel pays New Year's greetings to the chicken, with no good intentions. Liu is suddenly so nice to Lianhua, she must be plotting against her."
"This child has a miserable life, having such a stepmother. I heard that Liu wanted to marry Lianhua to her nephew. Do you know what kind of person her nephew is? He's a scumbag who indulges in drinking, whoring, gambling, and everything else. No good family would want to marry their daughter to such a person, so Liu's sister-in-law has set her sights on Lianhua."
"Oh my god, what a sin! This Liu is not a human being. She doesn't love a child that is not her own."
…
The discussions of the neighbors around made Liu's face darken.
She immediately put her eyes on her hips and stared at everyone fiercely:
"You gossipy women with nothing to do, what are you talking about?
I warn you, if you continue to talk nonsense, don't blame me for being rude to you."
snort!
I can't let that little girl know about this, otherwise she will definitely not help me obediently.
Aunt Jia San, who was standing by, was not used to seeing her like this, and snorted coldly:
“What nonsense are we talking about?
Aren’t you the one who hits the lotus?
Weren't you the one scolding her?
Aren't you the one who didn't give her food?
Wasn't it you who was responsible for her?
Everyone knows about the unscrupulous things you've done, Liu. Why are you pretending to be kind now?"
Having said that, Aunt Jia spat in her direction and sneered:
"You're suddenly being so nice to Lotus. I know without a doubt that you're plotting against her. Do you really think others are fools?"
Liu's face flushed red, and then she gritted her teeth:
"So what? She's my daughter in name only. What's wrong with me being nice to her? Are you jealous that my family can eat meat while yours can't?"
As she spoke, Liu became very proud and said, "My family has this condition, you can't be jealous."
Aunt Jia blushed with anger, "You..."
"Aunt San, don't be angry."
At this time, Jia Lianhua came over and interrupted Aunt Jia San's words, chuckling:
"Don't take my stepmother's words to heart."
Looking at Jia Lianhua, Aunt Jia San felt distressed and said nothing more. She couldn't bear to see the child suffer because of her.
But seeing Jia Lianhua's current appearance, Aunt Jia nodded with satisfaction:
"After you started working at the Xu family, you became fatter, whiter, and taller. The food at the Xu family is really good.
It’s not like before when I was living under the control of a black-hearted person and never had a full meal.”
Aunt Jia San made a subtle sarcastic remark.
Jia Lianhua pursed her lips and chuckled, it must be fine.
Also, she used to have endless work to do every day and never had enough to eat.
It's good enough that she didn't starve to death. She still wants to gain weight and become whiter, which is impossible.
A hint of displeasure flashed in Liu's eyes.
You stupid girl, you came back without asking yourself first, and you kept helping an outsider. How hateful.
But I still have things for her to do, so it’s not appropriate to make her unhappy now.
At that moment, Liu's face was filled with smiles:
"Lotus, let's go home.
If I don’t go back soon, the stewed meat at home will get cold, and it will not taste good when it’s cold.
Let’s go back quickly.”
"Yes, Lianhua, you should go back quickly and make sure to eat more." Aunt Jia said provocatively.
These words made Liu so angry that her teeth itched. She did it on purpose.
But seeing Jia Lianhua beside her nodding and saying yes with a smile, she didn't know what to say, so she had to lead people towards home with a sour face.
Seeing Liu's angry back, Jia Lianhua's eyes flashed with a dark light, and she raised her foot to catch up:
"Stepmother, wait for me!"
