After Lu finished her instructions, she went to the kitchen, looked at herself in the water tank, straightened her hair and clothes, and then turned back to the side yard.
As she stepped into the side courtyard door, a hand reached out from the side and grabbed her and walked away.
The person who grabbed her was Gao. She pulled her into her room, closed the door, and whispered, "This is incredible! Your fifth son made a fortune and gave me a bag of golden beans. I saw it with my own eyes. It was half full."
When Mrs. Lu heard this, her heart began to beat fast. She clutched her chest and asked in disbelief, "Did you see it with your own eyes? Were they really golden beans? Don't try to scare me. Old Five wouldn't be that capable."
"I'll die if I lie to you!" Gao tugged at her sleeve again. "There's something even more bizarre. Guess what else my mother and I have seen?"
"What is it?"
"Your Old Five was a complete freak! Seven or eight gamblers surrounded him, and guess what? He beat them all to the ground in a snap! You say he'd been hiding from his creditors for a month or so, how did he suddenly become so powerful?"
"If he had known this ability earlier, how could he have been beaten so badly by those people in the gambling house last time? And earlier at the Fourth Brother's house, bah! At Ding Youtian's house, he was beaten by Jian and Captain Ma without any chance of fighting back. Don't you think this is very strange?"
Mrs. Lu initially shrugged, curling her lips and saying, "That Ma guy is now the head constable in the county government. No matter how capable Old Five is, how could he defeat him? And Mrs. Jian, she used to be quite strong too, but after being struck by lightning, her strength has only increased. It's like she's become a completely different person..."
At this point, she was stunned for a moment, then grabbed Gao's hand and said, "Do you think that Lao Wu will also be struck by lightning and his temperament will change drastically? Will he be like Jian, like a completely different person?"
"What are you talking about?" Gao shook her hand off and rolled her eyes. "You're going to say that Jian disappeared and reappeared just as quickly, right? I've told you so many times, you must have been seeing things, or you dreamed about it. Jian is just a mortal, just like us. She's not some deity."
"What I mean by weird is that your Lao Wu must have met some master this time when he went out to hide from his creditors. He even said he would teach my Ding Gui martial arts. I guarantee that after he learns, my Ding Gui will be able to beat Ma Xiaomai and Dabao in a few months."
Because everyone said that Lu was seeing things that day, and more and more people said it, after a long time, Lu herself became confused and suspected that she was seeing things that day, and even suspected that she really had a dream.
"I pulled you here just to remind you, go back and search your fifth brother's purse, maybe there are still some golden beans hidden. He's not as honest as the eldest and second brothers, I don't think he would give all the golden beans to mother."
"Go back and search secretly, go quickly, or she'll rob you of everything when she wakes up."
"Don't forget me when you're done. I'm thinking of you and doing this for your own good."
Lu nodded several times. Oh my God, she had never seen what Jindouzi looked like in her life. She turned around and went back to her home in a hurry.
Feng Qingzi had been waiting for her in the room for a while, and was wondering why she hadn't come back yet, when she saw a figure swaying outside the window, and Lu walked in with a blushing face.
Mrs. Lu blushed because she remembered what happened last time before entering the house. She unconsciously had some physical reactions. She walked to the table, reached out for the cup, and poured tea while glancing at Feng Qingzi. Her voice became a little softer. "You bastard, you've been hiding for so long, and you still remember to come back? Why don't you die outside? I can have some peace and quiet too."
Feng Qingzi leaned against the head of the bed and saw that her eyes were full of affection. Although every word she said was not nice, it was full of teasing, which made him even more itchy.
"Come here, my dear. I miss you so much, my beauty."
She handed over the tea, but Feng Qingzi knocked it over and rolled onto the bed with her in his arms. She hit Feng Qingzi on the shoulder and said, "You're so impatient. Where did you learn to be so smooth-talking? Oh..."
Lu's mouth was blocked by Feng Qingzi's lips.
In the main courtyard, after Meng and Old Ding finished their laughter, they both wondered if Old Five was hiding something. Meng scolded, "That's unacceptable! He's heartless! He abandoned his family and ran away. We're the ones providing them with food and drink, and we even nearly had our food robbed by those debt collectors."
"If he's hiding something so great, even from his own parents, then he's completely unscrupulous. I'm going to ask him about it now."
Meng turned around and walked out of the house, heading towards the side yard. When she got there, she saw a basin of clothes still soaking in dirty water, and there was no sign of Lu. She was furious.
She was about to shout at the top of her lungs for Mrs. Lu, when she suddenly remembered what happened last time. The fifth brother had been dead for so long, and Mrs. Lu was at the age when she was very restless. She would pounce on her fifth brother like a hungry wolf.
Meng walked quietly to the window of the fifth room with light footsteps. She could hear the noise inside without having to prick up her ears, and her old face blushed.
Shameless vixen!
Fuck you!
Meng cursed inwardly, wanting to rush in and give Lu a good scolding. She wasn't afraid of Lu's wrath, but she was afraid she'd ruin Old Five's fun. If Old Five did something rash, even if he still had gold beans and silver ingots, it would still be a hassle to cause trouble.
Don't show off your wealth. If you make a fuss and outsiders hear it, it will be bad news. Her brothers might hear the news and come to her crying poor again, or ask her to compensate for the travel expenses for selling grain last time. That would be very troublesome.
Thinking of this, she had no choice but to hold back her anger for the time being.
Meng walked back to the main courtyard from the side yard and saw Yang Wuqi teaching Ding Gui boxing and kicking. She immediately found an outlet for her anger.
"If you have the time, why don't you go wash the clothes? I almost drooled to keep you here before the old man nodded."
"If he sees you sitting idle here, he'll get angry and chase you away. Don't blame me for not warning you."
Yang Wuqi was furious when he heard this. It turned out that he was just treating him as a helper, not a servant?
He's still a servant who pays for his services!
If Yang Wuqi hadn't been afraid of his master and didn't dare to ruin his master's plan, he really wanted to raise his fist and smash Meng's head.
"What are you still standing here for? And you're staring at me? If you don't want to wash, that's fine. I'll tell Wu'er later which apprentice is as lazy as you."
"When did I say I didn't want to wash? But washing a basin of clothes can make people tired to death!" Yang Wuqi walked towards the side yard with a resentful look on his face.
Meng glared at him with her triangular eyes and glared at his back. She didn't think she was being too harsh. This bastard followed Lao Wu to her house to avoid disaster. Shouldn't he do something for her?
The news that Lao Wu had gotten rich while hiding from his debts spread like wildfire throughout the village in no time, and naturally reached the ears of Jian Ning and Ding Youtian.
