Chapter 33 Mulberry Leaf Competitors
Old Mrs. Ruan was flustered and short of breath.
It was not for anything else, but because of what Old Mrs. Qian said. The relationship between Ruan Fu and the Ruan family had been a mess for a long time.
When that little girl saw the Ruan family, she was like a red-eyed fighting chicken, and she just wanted to come over and peck a few times. How could she be so embarrassed to ask her for help?
"Old sister-in-law, it's not that I don't want to help, but that damn girl is really difficult to deal with. Besides, I don't know where the bicycle came from. Maybe it was stolen. I dare not lend it to her."
"Who would dare to believe this if you say it out? You are her grandmother, and you can't even borrow a bicycle?" Old Mrs. Qian didn't believe it, and her face fell, "Could it be that you don't want to help my family?"
Old Mrs. Ruan had no words to say.
The process of the dead girl's fuss about the division of the household cannot be told to outsiders, especially Ruan Lanxiang's future in-laws, otherwise the daughter of a noble family will be looked down upon when she marries there.
"Sister-in-law, I can help with other things, but I really can't help with the bicycle."
Seeing that the other party was stubborn and unwilling to give in, Mrs. Qian's face darkened.
"Forget it, we originally wanted to discuss it properly, but who knew that you would be so tactless. There is nothing to say now."
She stood up with Qian Meihua, walked to the door and threw down another harsh sentence.
"The ugly thing that happened in your family last night is known to the whole village. With the character of Ruan Lanxiang's family, I think we have to consider this marriage again. Our family can't afford to lose this person."
After saying that, she rushed out of the door angrily.
This is to cancel the engagement! Old Lady Ruan was so angry that she almost fainted.
Seeing the pale-faced Ruan Hongxing in the corner, she threw a stick at him in a rage, causing him to scream.
"You shameless thing, you ruined my aunt's marriage, are you satisfied now?"
"Mom," Sun Hongxia hurriedly protected her daughter and said in a sad voice, "Hongxing knows she was wrong, please leave a way for the child to live."
Old Lady Ruan wanted to crush the two debt collectors to death, but when she turned around, she found that her daughter was already standing at the door, with tears in her eyes.
"Mom, I want to marry Brother Nan."
"What's the point of you
just thinking about it?" Old Mrs. Ruan was so angry, "Didn't you hear what they said just now, that they dislike our family? If you really marry him, how can you have a good life?"
Ruan Lanxiang stamped her feet and said stubbornly, "No, I will marry! If Brother Nan doesn't marry me, I will be an old maid at home and never marry for the rest of my life."
After saying that, she turned around and ran away.
Seeing this, Old Mrs. Ruan could only sigh, "Stupid girl!"
Ruan Lanxiang rushed out of the door heartbroken, wiping her tears as she ran. It was all about money. If it was her who had a bicycle today, would Old Mrs. Qian dare to say such a thing?
It's strange. Ruan Fu was originally driven out by the Ruan family. How could she suddenly be able to afford a bicycle?
Could it be that she found some way to make money...
Mrs. Hu just finished gossiping with someone and met Ruan Lanxiang who was in a bad mood on her way home.
"Isn't this Lanxiang? Why are you here alone wiping tears?"
Ruan Lanxiang sniffed, "Sister-in-law, I just can't understand why other people are so lucky and can afford to buy a bicycle, but I can't."
"I thought it was no big deal, it turns out it's about the bicycle," Mrs. Hu clapped her hands, her eyes rolling, and said angrily, "Hurry up and wipe your tears, luckily you met me, I know this matter very well."
How could this person know? Ruan Lanxiang raised her head abruptly and said anxiously, "Sister-in-law, tell me what's going on!"
Sister Hu said mysteriously, "At first I thought that girl was hooking up with a rich man, but later I heard from my little tiger that she was collecting mulberry leaves and transporting them to the city to sell. She made a lot of money in a few trips."
"If you really want to make money, just follow her secretly and learn how to do it. I guarantee you can buy a bicycle."
Ruan Lanxiang was very excited and nodded heavily.
She must catch this damn girl's way.
She took away the other party's business, made money and bought a bicycle, and Brother Nan said that he would marry her!
Thinking of this, Ruan Lanxiang couldn't help but smile...
Early the next morning, Ruan Fu just rode out and ran into Ruan Lanxiang at the entrance of the village.
She bit a cookie in her mouth and looked down at herself.
"Fuzi, I heard that you made money recently and bought a bicycle? What business? Take me with you."
Ruan Fu looked unhappy, and Ruan Lanxiang's eyes were circling around her, making people uncomfortable.
"No, I borrowed the bicycle and will return it soon."
Ruan Fu didn't want to waste time arguing with her. Business is about being unique, and only those who do it first can make money. Ruan Lanxiang has never been good to her, so why should she take her to eat meat. After she
finished speaking, she wanted to leave, but was forcibly pulled by the back rack of the bicycle by the person behind her.
"What are you going to do with so many mulberry leaves? If you don't tell me, don't even think about leaving today."
Ruan Lanxiang simply risked her life. If she couldn't make money, the Qian family would look down on her and wouldn't allow her to marry into the family. If she couldn't marry Brother Nan, her life would be ruined.
Why did this guy start to throw a tantrum over a disagreement?
Ruan Fu was a little speechless, but afraid of wasting time, she could only perfunctorily say, "Aunt, if you really want to know, I'll tell you. This is specially sent to the county textile factory, but you know it's actually useless. They specifically asked me to go, and no one else can."
Ruan Lanxiang's mind immediately became active. Sure enough, this girl did make a lot of money recently, otherwise how could she afford a bicycle in such a short time?
As for Ruan Fu's next sentence, she thought she was deliberately trying to stop her.
"Nonsense! There are so many mulberry leaves in the countryside, why do they only buy yours?"
"Because I have good character, they just picked me. If you are really capable, let them pick you."
Ruan Fu stopped talking nonsense with her, got on the bike, and drove away.
Ruan Lanxiang stamped her feet in anger. No, I must follow them and see what the solution is.
Thinking of this, she walked towards the county town without saying anything. After walking a few steps, she felt her feet were a little tired.
A tractor happened to pass by, so she waved.
After paying two cents, the tractor driver took her to the county town.
Ruan Lanxiang had not been to the county town many times. She had followed Old Lady Ruan on previous occasions. Fortunately, the textile factory was very famous. She asked along the way. As soon as she arrived nearby, she saw Ruan Fu riding a bicycle towards her.
Ruan Hongxing was startled and hid aside immediately.
God really helped me. She wanted to see if this damn girl was lying and whether the mulberry leaves were really delivered to the textile factory.
Ruan Fu saw Ruan Lanxiang sneaking around at a glance, but she was not afraid at all. Everyone can pick mulberry leaves, but it depends on whether anyone is willing to collect them.
Now that I have monopolized this business, even if Ruan Lanxiang picks more mulberry leaves, it will be in vain. If you don't believe me, she can try it. I will also enjoy watching a good show!
