Before Lu Yan and Yu Nian came into the family, the person that Old Lady Gu looked down upon the most was her daughter-in-law Wan Mei.
Fortunately, now that Lu Yan is helping Wan Mei share the firepower, life is a little better.
But, Old Mrs. Gu was still impatient to listen to Wanmei.
She waved her hands, looking irritated. "That's enough, you can't even explain yourself! You three, why don't you go back and clean up? Are you trying to imitate someone who's trying to blame an old woman like me?"
Old Mrs. Gu took advantage of Lu Yan's absence to dare to make such indirect accusations.
If Lu Yan really heard this, there's no telling how she would deal with her.
Gu Linbei had just come down the mountain carrying a pheasant when he heard his mother's words. Suddenly, his vision went dark, and he couldn't help but say, "Mom, what are you talking about?"
Gu Linbei always knew that his mother was partial.
But he couldn't do it too obviously.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Gu glared at Gu Linbei with displeasure: "Why? As a mother, I can't say a few words?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Old Mrs. Gu noticed the pheasant in Gu Linbei's hand.
She quickly reached out to catch the pheasant.
"You're not completely clueless. You even know that your second brother has been studying hard lately. You're not heartless."
Before he could finish his words, Gu Linbei withdrew his hand from Old Lady Gu's.
Old Mrs. Gu came up empty-handed and her face suddenly turned gloomy.
"What do you mean?"
Gu Linbei laughed innocently: "Mom, this is what I made for Yanyan to replenish her body, please don't worry about it."
As soon as these words were spoken, Mrs. Gu’s face turned dark.
"Your wife doesn't do any work at home all day, so what's the point of nourishing her?"
"Doesn't second brother work too?" Gu Linbei asked as a matter of course.
Old Mrs. Gu’s expression became even uglier.
As the weather gets hotter, there will be less and less wild game in the mountains.
Especially since several people in the family had been injured by wolves a few days ago. Gu Linbei was the only one left to do the farm work, and it was unclear when his other sons would be able to work in the fields.
Shouldn't I take good care of my second child at this time?
If he gets better soon, can the whole family benefit from it?
"What are you talking about? What can your wife do at home?" There was a strong sense of dissatisfaction in Mrs. Gu's voice, but Gu Linbei pretended not to hear it at all. He picked up the pheasant in his hand and twisted its neck.
He wants to stew the chicken soup first and wait for his wife to come back and behave well.
Old Mrs. Gu was so angry at her son's attitude that she fell backwards, slapping her thigh and crying.
However, Gu Linbei ignored her actions and went into the kitchen.
…
Under the guidance of the broker, Lu Yan and Yu Nian chose a courtyard on the main street.
The yard is not big, but it is big enough for storing things.
However, the house in this yard is particularly dilapidated.
The tiles on the roof were all broken and fell all over the floor. You could hear the tiles breaking when you stepped on them. Lu Yan was not surprised, but the man couldn't help but say, "You two, this place is really uninhabitable. Not to mention storing things..."
When the real estate agent heard that these two people were coming to rent a house, he was quite happy.
I didn't expect that these two people were so poor that they would fall in love with such a shabby house.
Especially since they only rented it for one month.
When the dentist thought of this, tears were about to fall.
However, Lu Yan was very satisfied with this place.
It’s much more reliable than the unfinished building of the blacksmith’s house.
She dusted off her hands with satisfaction and asked seriously, "How much is it per month here?"
The dealer was extremely reluctant: "Two... two taels."
Lu Yan frowned, narrowed her eyes slightly, and spoke with a hint of danger: "So expensive?"
The broker was just planning to swindle some money and put it in his own pocket.
When he met Lu Yan's murderous gaze, he instantly became timid.
He pursed his lips, and finally said in a low voice: "Seven...seven hundred wen."
This yard has been vacant for a long time.
The owner had already given up hope of renting it out, so the price kept dropping. Today, he also wanted to fool Yu Nian and Lu Yan, but he didn't expect Lu Yan's aura...
It scared the broker right away.
"Okay." Lu Yan gave the money readily and took Yu Nian around the house again.
The broker took the money, but felt a little aggrieved.
They were just two women, but I was actually scared by them.
The broker became angrier and angrier as he thought about it, and when he saw a beggar on the street, he called the little beggar over.
"Help me keep an eye on that family over there, and this money will be yours."
The broker was planning to find an opportunity to give Lu Yan and Yu Nian a good beating.
Especially Lu Yan, looking at her face, the yamen people had already had evil intentions.
Lu Yan didn't know that he and Yu Nian had been targeted. According to their understanding, it would take a long time to make the bear paw.
The two men quickly left the yard again, and this time they went to the blacksmith shop again without any hesitation.
After telling the blacksmith the address of the newly rented yard and asking him to deliver the iron pots and other things they bought later, the two went to the grain store.
At that time, the grain shop was already packed with people.
A group of people gathered outside the grain shop.
The sign next to it also displays today's food prices.
The price of white rice has increased from 20 wen per catty to 35 wen per catty.
The price of white flour also increased from 18 wen per pound to 30 wen.
As for black flour, wheat bran, and buckwheat flour, although they were slightly cheaper, they were still very popular. The waiter was busy running around the shop, and when he saw Lu Yan and Yu Nian, he didn't look happy either.
Lu Yan simply didn't bother talking to them anymore.
At this time, he threw the money bag on the shopkeeper's table and said, "Shopkeeper, give me 50 kilograms of grain from your shop."
Hearing this, the shopkeeper who had been busy fiddling with the abacus couldn't help but look up at Lu Yan.
"Please wait a moment. I'll be right there."
Hearing that there was no purchase limit at the grain store, Lu Yan felt slightly relieved.
However, as a person who came in the end times.
Lu Yan is well aware of the importance of food.
Therefore, she and Yu Nian had already inquired before coming here. There were three grain stores in An County. If each store stocked a little, it would be enough.
Lu Yan quickly negotiated with the owner of the grain shop about delivering the grain.
The two of them did the same thing and went to the second and third stores.
After agreeing on a delivery time, the two paid a deposit and went to Zuichunlou.
As soon as I arrived at the door of Zuichunlou, I heard a passionate voice.
"You two, you're here."
The tall servant quickly brought the two into Zuichunlou.
In the Zuichun Tower, there are private seats in the corridor on the second floor, from which you can see the stage on the first floor.
But even at noon, Zuichunlou was not deserted.
There were vaguely three or five banquet tables, all of which were occupied.
Lu Yan took a quick look and saw that she and Yu Nian were the only ones with the most tattered clothes in the crowd. However, there was nothing she could do about it, after all, that was the situation of the old Gu family.
