Chapter 101: Not Fighting for People, Fighting for Reputation
With Lai Fu and the others around, food distribution was carried out in an orderly manner.
Seeing that there was nothing for her to do, Lu Xingluo got off the white horse, handed the reins to Uncle Jiu, and walked towards Ding Xiaodie with an imposing manner.
That smile, in Wang Dafeng's words: "The warmest thing in the world is to see the Second Young Master smile."
"Small……"
"Second Young Master."
But before he could reach the front, a figure suddenly rushed out from the side and blocked Lu Xingluo's way.
Ding Mei looked shy and said, "Second Young Master, you're here?"
Lu Xingluo: “…”
Who is this?
He scratched his head. Oh, I remembered now. It seemed to be Xiaodie’s cousin, but her makeup today was not as scary as that day.
Wang Dafeng, who was waiting here with a kind smile on her face, suddenly saw this scene. She felt as if there was sand in her eyes. She frowned and walked over immediately.
“Two… huh?!”
Ding Mei wanted to say something else, but Wang Dafeng rushed over and grabbed her wrist.
"Grandma, why are you pulling me?"
It was so embarrassing to be stopped by this rude old woman in front of the second young master.
"Why am I pulling you here? Look at your face, it's covered in makeup like a monkey's butt. Go back and wash your face! Go now, stop talking nonsense to me."
Wang Dafeng shook off her hand. She would not tolerate such an embarrassing thing.
She probably expected the second young master to come back in the next two days, so she made preparations early. She put on such makeup early this morning, which is simply disgusting.
Hearing the old woman scolding her granddaughter like this, everyone burst into laughter: "Auntie, the girl is shy, don't say a few words to her."
"Yeah, give her some face. Today's makeup is much better than the one she wore two days ago!"
"Hahaha!"
Ding Mei's face turned even redder in an instant.
She felt more resentment in her heart. She hated this damn old woman so much. Why did she jump out at this time to embarrass her?
Sun and Ding De came out in anger and stood on their daughter's side to defend her.
"Mom, what's wrong with you today? I've never seen you take care of A-Mei before, but today you're taking care of her like an elder?" Sun was furious. Her daughter also wanted to marry into a rich family.
I also want to interact more with the second young master. Why do you, an old woman, have to interfere?
Ding De snorted coldly: "You just want to help the third brother's family fight. In your heart, the third brother is your biological son, and Ding Xiaodie is your biological granddaughter."
Wang Dafeng sneered: "Exactly, what's the matter?"
Unexpectedly, she admitted it straight away, which made Ding De and his wife choke: "..."
This damn old woman is so vicious, she can't treat everyone equally.
Seeing them quarreling, Ding Rong's family was mainly watching the fun. The couple was very quiet today.
Yesterday, he had a fight with Aunt Niu's daughter-in-law Fang Cuihua in the basement of Lu's house. Today, he had to be slow and not show his face, for fear that Fang Cuihua would bring up the incident of someone touching her buttocks last night.
Although this matter cannot be said in public, it is a different story behind closed doors when you get home!
Zhu and Ding Rong argued for half the night, and the central theme of the conversation was: did they touch each other or not?
Of course, Ding Rong would never admit it, and he refused to admit that he had touched her. He had to coax Zhu, who was crying and sobbing, for two hours, and the children couldn't sleep well.
Now, apart from the couple being indifferent to this matter, even Ding Xue, who always likes to watch other people's fun, is indifferent.
Since she had absolutely no interest in the Second Young Master Lu Xingluo, she naturally didn't care who he would end up with.
She has only one target, the eldest young master Lu Chenhe.
Seeing everyone quarreling again, Lu Xingluo asked excitedly, "Xiaodie, what are they quarreling about? Are they quarreling over you? What are they quarreling over?"
Well! (￣ェ￣;)
Of course, the fight they were talking about was for his second young master Lu Xingluo!
But Ding Xiaodie said: "Of course it's to show off."
"Oh, so proud of themselves? But they complain every day about not having enough to eat, and they fuss over trivial matters, wasting their energy on quarrels. It's really interesting, haha!"
Ding Gui and Zhang Xiu looked at each other: "..."
Well, the innocence of this second young master is really rare in a thousand years.
There was a fierce quarrel over there, but the couple would definitely not step forward to intervene. Firstly, the old woman was more than capable of handling the quarrel alone, and secondly, if they joined in, the second son's family would have even more reason to argue, and the quarrel would go on and on.
Forget it, I'd better save my energy to make two more pairs of straw sandals!
Xiaodie said that when the flow of goods with Wo County is restored, the straw sandals can be sold.
There is drought all over the country right now, and many people cannot afford cloth shoes. However, the ground is scorching hot every day, and it is unbearable to walk on it. Therefore, some people must have bought straw sandals as a temporary solution.
And these straw sandals cannot be made anywhere, because you must have the raw material straw.
Yangliu Town currently has such an advantage. It has straw and a group of skilled women. It is a perfect combination of time, place and people. Of course, they should take this opportunity to do more.
"Second Young Master, you must be hot. I'll go back and get you a bowl of water." Ding Xiaodie saw beads of sweat dripping down Lu Xingluo's temples, and she felt concerned about this little brat like an older sister.
Lu Xingluo nodded: "No, I'll go directly to your house to drink!"
"Okay."
She turned around and took the second young master across the street to her home. When they arrived, they went straight into the kitchen and got him a bowl of water.
Lu Xingluo was very considerate. She poured more than half a bowl back before he even finished drinking it. He only drank one or two sips!
"Xiaodie, have you heard from Uncle Ding how much water is left in the well?"
"Not much. It depends on whether there will be water in the well soon."
Ding Xiaodie thought, if she didn't use the cuckoo machine, where would the water come from? Village chief Lai Fu was becoming more and more stingy with the water he was distributing because he was afraid that it would all run out suddenly.
"Second Young Master, no matter how wealthy your Lu family is, you can't have mountains of gold and silver. There's too much food to distribute today."
What if the Lu family is divided up?
Ding Xiaodie knew very well that some villagers still had food to eat, but as long as the Lu family had food to share, they would definitely hide their own food, and when the Lu family became an empty shell, they would definitely not share it.
As for human nature, when it comes to life and death, you can't say that people are not noble, you can only say that it's instinct!
Lu Xingluo reached out and patted her little head: "You, your little head is always thinking about others. Let me tell you, we also have a limit on how much food we distribute. In times like these, we must not act recklessly."
That's good!
Ding Xiaodie nodded: "Have Master Lu and the eldest young master received any letters?"
She was a little worried, wondering if the desert soldiers who changed their route would run into Master Lu and his men.
Because according to the time, it was time for them to return.
