At the lunch table, Xu Ayu was very worried.

Lu Pingsheng took a bite of the braised large intestine and asked, "Aunt Yu, are you tired from cooking?"

Wei Miao knew what Xu Ayu was worried about.

Sure enough, Xu Ayu hesitated for a moment and said to Lu Pingsheng: "Mr. Lu, do you understand?"

Lu Pingsheng's handsome face was full of confusion, but the redness at the corners of his eyes made people feel thrilling.

"What's the matter?" Lu Pingsheng asked.

Xu Ayu recounted the story of how Mr. Sun’s landlord Liu Shan was taken away by men in black.

Lu Pingsheng understood immediately, "Don't worry, Miss Li is Wu Ziyang's childhood sweetheart, nothing will happen to her."

Xu Ayu thought of Wu Ziyang, and his face relaxed a little, and he said embarrassedly:

"I see that they are very close, why don't they get married soon and live together to save the money of renting a house."

Lu Pingsheng seemed unwilling to talk about other people's private affairs, and said with a sad face:

"Aunt Ayu, if I could understand, I wouldn't have hidden in your house to heal my wounds. What is love in this world? It makes people stay together for life and death!"

After hearing these words, Xu Ayu stopped talking about whether to get married or not.

After dinner, Lu Pingsheng pretended to be sad and hid in Wei Miao's study.

Wei Miaoxin found the book extremely valuable and began to flip through it.

Looking at Wei Miao who picked up a book and flipped through it carefully and quickly, Lu Pingsheng's expression became unusually serious.

"Ah Miao, you are very smart and steady. If you were born in a peaceful era, you would definitely achieve great things."

Wei Miao looked up at him, "In peacetime?"

Lu Pingsheng had a hint of pride and yearning on his face, and he spoke with bright eyes:

"National unity, stable borders, clear politics, prosperous economy, equality for all..."

Wei Miao saw a kind of power in this somewhat cynical man.

This was a kind of power she had never encountered before. She found it very novel, so she paid special attention to it.

"Are you going to put an end to this chaotic world?"

She thought of her past life when she was a powerful figure on the savannah, and then thought of her experiences when she first came to this world, and seemed to have some feelings.

There was a strange light in Lu Pingsheng's eyes, and he stared straight at Wei Miao who was holding a book.

At this moment, he suddenly had a lot of things to say to the young man in front of him.

I told her about the Battle of Shanghai two years later, about the Massacre, about those difficult eight years, about the countless heroic sons and daughters who fought bravely and bravely, and about the prosperous China a hundred years later.

But at this moment, facing Wei Miao's clear and clean eyes, he just patted his shoulder, moved his lips, and said cynically:

"I'm a businessman. This is an investment. If you can really make some achievements here, remember to pay me."

Lu Pingsheng has always been brooding over the huge loss he suffered in the sulfa business because he got involved too late.

"You really don't need me to give you money. Many of your books are banned in the West and are worth a fortune."

Lu Pingsheng leaned lazily against the bookshelf against the wall, looking out the blurry window:

"It doesn't matter if it's worth a fortune. In front of us, it's just a piece of waste paper."

Wei Miao felt that what he said made a lot of sense, and generously accepted the book sent by Lu Pingsheng.

Mainly about biomedicine.

She didn't know what Lupin saw in her, or what he expected of her.

But all the things Lu Pingsheng sent were what she needed.

Ever since she learned that the life-saving sulfonamide was extracted from the dye KL730, also known as Prontosil, she became interested.

It is better to fish yourself than to ask others to buy fish for you. This was the first truth she understood after becoming a child.

Perhaps it is her innate nature that only what is completely in her own hands is the most reliable and real.

"Little brat, there are only two of us here. Tell me honestly why you gave up the sulfa business so readily."

Wei Miao looked at him, "You really don't understand?"

Lu Pingsheng nodded and shook his head, and said in a complicated tone:

"I understand. It's because I understand that I don't understand. You know if you don't let go, it will be a huge fortune. With money, you can do a lot of things."

For example, you can buy a house, a car, hire a bodyguard, or if that doesn't work, go to Hong Kong Island or abroad, and you can live a good life.

Wei Miao listened to the sounds of Xu Ayu and Wei Ada arguing in the kitchen, and the laughter of his younger brothers and sisters playing snowball fights in the yard, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"In my life, I just want them to be safe and happy."

Although it was clearly a very hypocritical remark, Lu Pingsheng heard a strong firmness in it.

He was about to get up and leave when he suddenly sniffed his nose and said, "Your mother's cooking skills have improved."

Wei Miao smiled but said nothing.

Seeing that the little kid didn't respond, Lu Pingsheng sat down again, looked at Wei Miao with a smile and said:

"Ah, I'm tired and hungry from sending these books to you. I have to finish dinner first."

After being verified by Lu Pingsheng's two meals, Xu Ayu's plan to sell braised meat has taken shape.

At first, it was sold in the nearby alleys, and whoever had customers would come to buy it.

Later, she carried her load on her back and walked around the streets nearby, harvesting a lot every day and feeling happy.

At night, Wei Miao was reading a book on the bed when Xu Ayu came in stealthily.

"My daughter, keep a record for me."

Wei Miao looked at her guarding against thieves and smiled, "Mom, you are still angry with Dad."

Xu Ayu didn't talk about accounting anymore. He sat beside Wei Miao's bed and tucked the quilt for her.

"Your father is a stubborn person who values ​​reputation. If I don't give him some time off, your uncle's plan will definitely not work out."

Wei Miao thought about Wei Ada's character and didn't want to comment on his elders, so he asked another question:

"Mom, have you talked to my uncle? Don't be so impulsive when the time comes."

Xu Ayu said without thinking:

"Your uncle has long wanted to stop trying to make a living on the water. Your grandfather was a spendthrift, so he had no choice but to marry into the water. Your aunt is a gentle person. She always listens to your uncle, and your uncle listens to me."

Wei Miao felt uncomfortable when he saw Xu Ayu's thin and sunken face covered with frost.

This winter is cold. Since she successfully braised the meat, she has been getting up early and going to bed late for the past half month, without being lazy for a moment.

"Ah Miao, you have to be conscientious. Brother Heitan has been very good to my family, but my mother has never failed to deal with human relationships. People's hearts are always biased."

Xu Ayu put down the purse in his hand, touched his daughter's longer hair, and recalled:

"When you had a high fever, our family was really broke, so your aunt sold her ancestral bracelet for three silver dollars before she sent you to the hospital for an IV drip..."

Wei Miao knew about this, so she was particularly concerned about Uncle Xu's family.

"Mother, how much money have you earned in the past half month?"
