Chapter 58: Being sold but still counting money



Han Miaomiao came to the art troupe to work in the afternoon. When Lu Xiaofang saw her, she smiled and trotted over.

"Sister Miaomiao, come to my house for dinner tonight."

Whenever she goes, she can also eat something good.

It would be fine if this matter was not mentioned, but as soon as Han Miaomiao was mentioned, she became frowning.

"Xiao Fang, don't invite me to your house for dinner anymore. Brother Dongsheng has brought that girl back. Who am I to go with?"

Lu Xiaofang looked confused, how could this be possible?

My brother has been missing for two days and we don’t know where he has gone. He has been very emotionally unstable these days.

"Sister Miaomiao, that's impossible. My eldest brother is not at home these days."

Han Miaomiao pursed her lips and sighed deliberately, "Xiaofang, we have known each other for such a long time and have a good relationship. Do you think I am the kind of person who would lie to you?

...

...

I had lunch with Qiangzi at a state-owned restaurant this afternoon. I saw it with my own eyes, and we even sat together and had lunch.

You don't know, I lost a lot today. I lost ten dollars and saw your future sister-in-law pick it up with my own eyes. I asked her to give it back but she refused to admit it. Your elder brother protected her, so I didn't hold her responsible anymore.

"Xiaofang, you have to put your things away when you go back, understand?"

When Lu Xiaofang heard this, her temper rose to the top of her head.

“What did you say? That village girl was brought to the commune by my brother, and she even picked up your money and refused to return it?

Sister Miaomiao, don't worry. I will tell my mother when I go back this afternoon. My mother has chosen you as her candidate for wife, so even if she comes, it has nothing to do with her.

This kind of person has bad character, and she is even less qualified to be my brother's wife."

Han Miaomiao was proud in her heart. That village girl took advantage of Lu Dongsheng's love for her and thought she could gain a foothold by coming to the commune. How could it be so easy?

If she can't get it, she would rather destroy it than even think about getting it.

Han Miaomiao felt that it was a bit pulling, so she deliberately pulled her sleeve up. Several female comrades nearby looked at the brand new watch on her wrist, their eyes were like light bulbs, each brighter than the other.

"Wow, Miaomiao, that's a new watch you're wearing. It's really pretty. How much did it cost?"

Han Miaomiao just smiled and said nothing more. A hint of joy flashed across her face and she raised her hand and shook her wrist.

“It’s really beautiful.”

"Yes, this is a gift from Chen Qiang."

When Chen Qiang was mentioned, Han Miaomiao's face changed and she pulled down her sleeves.

Lu Xiaofang knew that the two of them had a good relationship, but she didn't think much about it.

Han Miaomiao never tells her about her own affairs, and she doesn't ask about other people's privacy.

Seeing the shining watch on her wrist, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What a good relationship you have to have to give her a watch.

Han Miaomiao was afraid that others would think too much, so she said guiltily: "It's not very expensive, I just saved up half a year's salary to buy it."

The women were stunned. Half a year's salary must be around 100 yuan, which was not a small amount.

These days, everyone is equally poor. They are girls and have to use the money they earn to support their families. Buying clothes is a luxury for them. This watch is beyond their reach and they can only take a second look at it.

Lu Xiaofang was a little skeptical. She liked buying clothes, but she had looked at this watch several times and just couldn't bear to buy it.

But then again, it’s normal to buy it.

Out of trust,

Lu Xiaofang no longer had any doubts. What she was worried about now was her elder brother. That country girl had shady dealings and she could not be allowed in no matter what.

Lu Xiaofang was absent-minded the whole afternoon.

When Lu Dongsheng came back, everyone in the family had gone to work. He and Lu Wentao lived in one room, and Xiaofang and Wenxiu lived in another room.

Wenxiu is currently in the countryside, so the bed is empty, but Xiaofang has a bad temper, and if she and Su Ying are arranged in the same room, both of them will definitely feel uncomfortable.

After much deliberation, Lu Dongsheng decided to move Lu Wenxiu's bed to the study.

She rolled up Lu Wenxiu's bedding, found a new one at home and spread it out, and wiped the one in the study spotlessly clean.

Thinking that Su Ying had no toiletries in the guesthouse, he went to the supply and marketing cooperative again.

Zhao Yulan and Lu Dahai came back one after another, and Lu Xiaofang also ran over in a hurry.

As soon as he entered the door, he shouted, "Mom, is big brother back?"

"Not yet, what's wrong?"

"Something happened. Sister Miaomiao said she saw my eldest brother and his wife at the state-owned restaurant at noon."

She spoke too quickly, realized her slip of the tongue, and quickly shook her head to explain: "No, no, it was my brother who came back with that village girl, and Sister Miaomiao lost ten yuan, and that village girl picked up the money and refused to return it, and even scolded Sister Miaomiao. Sister Miaomiao was afraid that my brother would be embarrassed, so she didn't pursue the matter.

Mom, we can’t let this kind of person who is greedy and dishonest into our house.”

Zhao Yulan asked, "Is this true? Your elder brother hasn't come back yet. Even if he brings that girl back, he should at least say hello to us. Did Miaomiao see it wrong?"

"How could I be wrong? Sister Miaomiao also said that they were eating at the same table."

The person who was cooking got so angry when he heard this that he chopped the wooden board with the kitchen knife in his hand.

This is nonsense, absolutely nonsense. The matchmaker hasn’t even made her words clear yet, how can you bring someone to the commune?

Zhao Yulan was so angry. Her son had grown up and was no longer under his control.

Seeing his daughter making such a fuss, Lu Dahai frowned and reminded her, "Don't talk nonsense before you even meet her. Even if your elder brother is a bad person, his vision is not that bad.

You haven't even met the person yet, but you're gossiping about them behind their backs. How is this different from a gossiper? "

Lu Xiaofang stuck out her tongue: "Dad, it was Sister Miaomiao who said that, she wouldn't lie to me."

Seeing his daughter's stupid look, Lu Dahai couldn't help but shake his head.

“You weren’t stupid when you were in school, why are you so stupid and dumb now?

You just listen to what others say, and then you will be sold out and help others count the money."

"Dad, Miaomiao would never lie to me."

Zhao Yulan said: "Yes, Miaomiao is such a well-behaved child, she will definitely not lie."

Lu Dahai felt that the mother and daughter were thinking too simply.

"I think it's useless before we meet the person. Besides, we don't understand him, so it's not good to gossip about him behind his back."

Zhao Yulan said: "Yes, yes, you are the head of the family, you are right."

Lu Dahai stopped there, after all, the person had not been brought back yet.

Lu Dongsheng went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy towels, toothbrushes, soap and shampoo, and happily came to the guesthouse.

Su Ying had a good sleep wrapped in a quilt in the afternoon, and now she was chewing a pig's trotter in her dream.

Boom boom boom——

There was a sudden knock on the door, and Su Ying woke up from her dream with saliva at the corner of her mouth.

She was a little impatient: "Who is it?"

"It's me."

Lu Dongsheng? Why is he here again?

Su Ying jumped out of bed and opened the door. She shivered from her warm sleep. When she saw Lu Dongsheng's handsome face, she felt like spring was coming.

"Why are you here again?"

"You don't have any toiletries, so I bought them all for you. Pack up and I'll take you to dinner."
