Chapter 67: Show off
Lu Chenhe said truthfully: "Apart from the two of us, father and son, there are only a few guards. However, we are defenseless. Let's see if we can borrow some guards when we get to Zhou Mansion."
"How many days will it take to get to Zhoufu?"
"Around the fifteenth."
Oh my god!
Although it was said to take fifteen days, in fact, almost every minute and every second was terrifying. It was like walking on thin ice. Ding Xiaodie was very worried. If it were in modern times, the journey would only take a few hours, but in ancient times you had to measure it step by step, so it took so long.
But at the moment, she couldn't dampen the other person's fighting spirit, not to mention that she was just a "little one", how could she think so much.
Ding Xiaodie blinked her eyes. "Young Master is so amazing! He can actually go on business with Master Lu! I haven't been anywhere else since I was a child in Aozigou. I hope Young Master can bring me some fun gadgets when you get to the provincial capital."
"Don't worry!"
Lu Chenhe curled his lips slightly and looked at this quirky little girl, feeling very pity in his heart.
"Xiaodie, although I'm not in town, I still have Xingluo. If there's anything you can't solve, go find Xingluo. Xingluo has Uncle Jiu, and everything can be solved."
"Okay, have a safe journey, young master."
Lu Chenhe clasped his fists and said, "Thank you for your good wishes."
The two brothers came and went in a hurry. The people in Aozi Village watched the excitement, and Ding Xiaodie saw something from the side.
Lu Chenhe coming to say goodbye to her was just one of his ideas. In fact, he came specifically to inform her that the Lu family still had Uncle Jiu, and this was his real purpose.
At present, the Lu family is the only one in Yangliu Town. They have no shortage of food and drink at home, but what they lack most is manpower.
There weren't many guards to begin with, and now some of them have been taken away. It can be said that the Lu family's current situation is a bit tricky.
You have to know that there are hundreds of villagers from Aozi Village who are eyeing this small town covetously.
Ding Xiaodie understands this principle, and others may also understand it.
She felt vaguely uneasy.
The other gossips who didn't see the point had something else to say. It didn't matter whether they had enough to eat or not. What mattered was that they gathered together and gossiped.
"The two young masters of the Lu family are so handsome. We can't find such handsome men in any of the villages and towns around here."
"Of course I am. I am the child of a wealthy family."
"Did you see that? The two young masters of the Lu family care a lot about Xiaodie."
"Yes, logically speaking, Xiaodie went to the Lu Mansion a few days ago. I heard that Mrs. Lu liked her very much and even gave her a new dress to wear. Did you see it? It's so beautiful!"
"I never thought Xiaodie was so lucky. When I was in the village before, I hardly dared to talk to anyone."
"That's right, if... then Zhang Xiu and Ding Gui will be blessed!"
The person who spoke made an ambiguous nod gesture with his fingers.
Everyone smiled as if they knew what was going on in their hearts, but at the same time, everyone felt a little jealous. Ding Xiaodie, this inconspicuous little girl, must have earned such good fortune in some previous life.
He actually pleases the Lu family so much.
However, someone looked at Ding Xiaodie who was sitting in a daze under the tree opposite, and suddenly felt that, you know what, this little girl is getting more and more beautiful the more you look at her, she is a real little beauty.
No wonder the Lu family liked it, it turns out they were just shortsighted before!
"Hey, Auntie, here you are, come quickly, come and sit here."
The aunts and uncles who were gossiping saw Wang Dafeng, and some of them hurriedly stood up to give her space to please her.
Wang Dafeng was holding a dog-beating stick. Although he was still wearing tattered clothes and his hair was messy like a chicken pot, the expression on his face was terrible and he was shaking.
The two young masters of the Lu family came to see her granddaughter Xiaodie specifically, and in front of the whole village. It was such a proud and prestigious thing.
In that case, why don’t you come out and show off quickly.
Wang Dafeng didn't hesitate at this point and sat down in the middle. Then, she asked in a serious tone, "Have you all eaten enough today?"
"What to eat? Our food is not as good as yours. You are lucky to have Mr. Lu's family looking after you. " Aunt Niu, the gossipy woman in the village, immediately started to flatter her.
Others also echoed: "That's right, Auntie, you are so lucky."
Someone even added in a low voice: "That's why they say the eldest lady is so smart. If she follows the third brother's family, she will enjoy endless blessings."
Wang Dafeng was very proud: "Of course, our Xiaodie is a lucky doll. She brings good luck to our family. God has finally seen through her. Those villagers who didn't take the Ding family seriously before, I don't know how many teeth they will break now."
Suddenly, most of the people who were rushing to speak fell silent.
It’s not that everyone has nothing to say, it’s that they feel guilty.
All the women sitting here had taken the opportunity to speak ill of the Ding family when they were in Aozi Village, and some had even bullied Zhang Xiu.
Whenever there was collective work in the village, such as road construction, they would give the most difficult land to Zhang Xiu.
At that time, no one expected that Zhang Xiu would have such a daughter.
Now, thanks to their daughter, they are about to become successful. Those who bullied Zhang Xiu and spoke ill of their family can't help but feel a little scared.
Wang Dafeng naturally said this on purpose. She knew very well who was human and who was a ghost among these women.
Everyone was silent for a while before continuing to praise Xiaodie.
Zhu and Sun, who were across the street, both looked green in the face.
They tried their best the first day, but the young master didn't even bother to look at the girls from their two families.
Today, the eldest young master actually came to see Ding Xiaodie in person.
What's going on? Is there anything special about that damn girl?
What annoyed the two of them even more was that it was annoying to see the smug look on the mother-in-law's face.
Mrs. Zhu couldn't help but grit her teeth and cursed, "What an old fool! In her heart, all she cares about is that damned little girl Xiaodie. When has she ever cared about Ding Xue and Ding Mei?"
"Let her run wild. One day when she is too old to move, I'll see how the third family treats her. If she wants to ask our two families to support her then, she's dreaming." Sun said angrily.
While the two of them were scolding their mother-in-law in front of the door, Ding Xue was crying bitterly in her room.
Lu Chenhe came to see Ding Xiaodie in person, which deeply hurt her heart. Her heart was now full of the image of the eldest young master of the Lu family, and once her love was aroused, it would be difficult to stop.
Hearing her daughter's faint crying coming from the building, Zhu turned around and went home in annoyance.
Sun couldn't help but laugh: "I've never seen a girl so shameless. She fell in love with the young master at first sight and just cried."
As she spoke, she turned to go back to her home. As soon as she entered, she saw her daughter Ding Mei running towards her with tears in her eyes, complaining, "Mom, why are the eldest and second young masters so nice to that damn girl? How am I inferior to her?"
