Chapter 83: Lonely Ghost
The tone was full of unwelcomeness. Xue Han really saw through San Ya, but now it was Wang Ru.
Wang Ru had changed. She was wearing an emerald green silk skirt, a blue cotton jacket, her sparse hair combed neatly, and an exquisite purse around her waist. Xue Han stared at her in a daze, calculating that the outfit cost at least five hundred coins. She frowned and thought, "No one in the village has ever dressed like this. It's too eye-catching."
Sometimes she thought Wang Ru was very cunning, and sometimes she thought Wang Ru was stupid. Wang Ru's family was almost the only household in the village, and without anyone to support them, they were like fat meat. It was the time when they should have been low-key, but Wang Ru was too ostentatious. Wasn't this telling the whole village that my family was very rich?
Was the last lesson not enough? After all, they are father and daughter, and their roots are the same!
Wang Ru thought Xue Han was jealous and thought about the purpose of her visit. "Xue Han, I came to apologize. I was jealous of you before and inevitably had resentment. Today I sincerely apologize to you. I hope you can forgive me."
Xue Han was alert. Her mother told her many stories, especially the story of the ungrateful wolf with a sweet sword in his mouth. She pursed her lips and said, "I know. Go back!"
Seeing Xuehan writing with her head down again, Wang Ru became even more jealous while pinching the handkerchief in her hand. It was because the country girl Zhou Xuehan had a good father who could not only read but also practice writing with paper. No wonder she won the favor of the male protagonist. She really did not expect to travel through time and space into the book. She thought of Zhou Xuehan’s younger brother Zhou Changzhi. She could not let Zhou Changzhi succeed. Without Zhou Changzhi, Zhou Xuehan would only be a country girl.
As for snatching the male lead, Wang Ru's eyes sparkled. If a person does not work for himself, he will be punished by heaven and earth. Moreover, Zhou Xuehan is selfish and looks down on others. However, she still has to be safe. She thought of standing in front of the table and raising her hand to show the jade bracelet. "Mr. Shi is too polite. Look, he not only gave me a valuable jade bracelet, but also a lot of gold and silver. He is also handsome and kind-hearted. He is really a rare good man."
Xue Han was annoyed by what she heard. She frowned and wondered what had happened to Wang Ru to show off at her house. "I have to go show my mother the big characters. You go back first!"
Wang Ru was a little confused. Why didn't she follow the script? Shouldn't she be jealous? Shouldn't she be yearning? But she couldn't stay any longer after being chased away. She squinted her mouth and walked away unhappily.
Xue Han went to the main room to find her mother and imitated Wang Ru's words and actions. "Mom, you haven't seen Wang Ru's appearance. She wants to get all the good things for herself. Her wrist is so skinny and dry, but she wears a jade bracelet. Not only does it not look good at all, but I'm afraid it will fall to the ground and break because I can't hold it."
Zhulan's face darkened. Wang Ru really did not miss any opportunity in her scheme. Not to mention whether the man surnamed Shi would fall in love with Xue Han, it was just that Xue Han was really greedy for money and took advantage of him, and Xue Han would suffer the loss. Wang Ru was still as vicious as ever. Not only did she want to ruin Xue Han's reputation, she also wanted to lead Xue Han astray!
Zhao was dumbfounded and said dryly, "San Ya, no, it's Wang Ru, she wants to lead her sister-in-law astray. She has too many bad thoughts. She is really not like a child in the village. After all, she has changed too much."
Xue Han had also heard some stories about mountain spirits and ghosts, and was terrified, "Mom, could it be that Wang Ru encountered a wandering ghost?"
Zhulan kept smiling. You only have one child in front of you. No, you have two children in your family. "Don't think too much. I think Wang Ru is just like that. Think about it. Wang Lao Si changed just because he had some money. Aren't the father and daughter very similar?"
Xue Han thought about it and realized that it was true. However, she pursed her lips and said, "I didn't understand it before. I won't let her come to my house in the future."
Zhulan thought positively. With her and Zhou Shuren at home, she was not afraid of Wang Ru cheating Xuehan. She could also train Xuehan so that she would not be scheming against others in the future.
The next day, Wang Laosi's family bought a house. They bought the house two houses apart from Zhulan. It consisted of a main house and six side rooms. It was newly built two years ago. Wang Laosi's family was very high-profile, and the buyer did not hide it. They spent a high price of thirty taels on the house. The seller then spent five taels to buy the house that Wang Laosi had rented, and spent another five taels on renovations. In total, they exchanged six rooms for ten taels and made a profit of twenty taels.
Zhulan was speechless about Wang Laosi's family, as if she was afraid that people in the village didn't know that his family was rich. They hadn't learned any lesson from the last incident!
Zheng was also a talkative person. On the day when the thank-you gifts were delivered, Zheng was right in front of the deceased. Once Zheng announced the gift, everyone in the village knew what was given: two pieces of silk, fifty taels of silver, and some jewelry worth more than one hundred taels of silver.
Zhulan was delighted after hearing this. Wang Ru wanted to give a thank you gift, which showed that she had seen through everything. She treated Wang Ru as a country girl and dismissed her. If it weren't for the sausage recipe, she wouldn't have gotten the gift for 100 taels. It was getting more and more interesting.
