Farmhouse life after traveling back to ancient times

Lu Sangui grinned and then heard Du Wenxiu say:

"Don't worry, brother Sangui. If we have the goods, we can negotiate the price. Even if it's a little more expensive, we can add it to the cost, so we won't lose money."

Lu Sangui nodded, and after a moment's silence, he raised his head and said:

"I don't know how many watermelons sister-in-law needs. I will supply them to you at the lowest price."

Du Wenxiu smiled slightly, stood up, bowed to Lu Sangui, and said:

"In that case, I would like to thank Brother Sangui first. If Brother Sangui can coordinate, please get ten of them for us to use first."

Not only did Lu Sangui agree immediately, he also quoted the lowest price of last year, 500 wen per piece, and agreed to pay it every half a month.

Du Wenxiu had heard that the price of watermelons would go up this year, with the lowest price being 800 wen each. He originally thought that he would try to find ten to start the work.

Now that Lu Sangui was so generous and helped him, Du Wenxiu was overjoyed and thanked him repeatedly.

Lu Sangui quickly stretched out his hand and raised it lightly, saying:

"Sister-in-law, please don't be so formal. If it weren't for the twenty taels of silver that you and my elder brother gave me, there would be no Lu Sangui today."

Du Wenxiu was also quite pleased. He gave the twenty taels of silver that he had originally given to Lu Fanghai to Lu Sangui.

To say that I don't feel any pain at all is to deceive myself.

But what Lu Fanghai said is true, it’s good to be at home for a thousand days, but it’s difficult to go out.

The two brothers Lu Sangui were charged with murder and were on the run. If they didn't have some money on them, they might have become ruthless and taken the wrong path.

Money is a person's courage. The more money you have on you, the more you will think about everything.

Thinking of Lu Fanghai, she couldn't help but feel unbearable grief in her heart. The tears in her eyes blinked and finally flowed down in two lines.

"So my sister-in-law knows that I, Lü Sangui, got married just a few years ago. I married the daughter of Mr. Zhu, the caravan boss."

"Since my brother has taken the blame for me and the case has been closed, I will go back to Dongxing County to buy a house and property and move my family back."

"My eldest brother is gone, and it's not easy for a woman like my sister-in-law to run a business. With the two of us taking care of her in the future, I think it will be less difficult."

Lu Sangui thought for a while and then talked to Du Wenxiu.

Du Wenxiu's tears were like a dam that had burst, and she could no longer hold them back.

She was sobbing but couldn't utter a word, so she could only wipe her tears and nod.

A Luo was also wiping tears at the side. Who could have thought that his unintentional helping hand a few years ago would lead to the successful completion of this event.

Chen Wenju arrived late at this time and saw three people in the room. The man had red eyes and the two women were sitting aside wiping their tears.

"Hey, what are you doing? I just came a little late, but you guys recognize me as your relative? You sit together and cry like this, it makes me look like an outsider."

Chen Wenjuan screamed in surprise.

Du Wenxiu smiled and wiped her tears with a handkerchief, and said with a strong nasal voice:

"What are you talking about, Master Chen? If it weren't for Master Chen's introduction, there would be no way that Brother Sangui and I would be reunited. I should thank Master Chen a lot."

As he said this, he was about to stand up and salute, but Chen Wenju held him down with his fan.

"Stop it. I, Chen Wenju, am not someone who cares about these little things. If Madam Du really wants to thank you, it would be better to do what I asked for perfectly, so that I can be in the limelight at home."

Du Wenxiu smiled through her tears and said, "Master Chen, don't worry. As long as we can buy some watermelons, I promise that the watermelon and bean paste will be supplied to Chen's Restaurant first."

Chen Wenju was satisfied, and proudly talked to Lu Sangui, saying that he should be given a larger share of watermelons this year.

"Last summer, they only gave me six watermelons. There were not enough to share with my relatives. After a whole summer, I only ate two. Can you believe it?"

"This year, since we have this relationship, you must leave a few more for me so that my relatives can give them to everyone at home."

Du Wenxiu and A Luo looked at each other and realized that watermelon was such a rare commodity at this time of year.

Lu Sangui laughed and practiced Tai Chi with Chen Wenju, and finally they reached an agreement on a price of one string of money for a watermelon, and promised to leave at least ten watermelons for Chen Wenju this summer, which satisfied him.

"Haha, Master Chen, don't worry. This year I rented some land near the city to grow melons. If they grow well, I'm afraid the yield will be even higher."

"Well, doesn't that mean the price will go down?" Chen Wenju suddenly became excited.

Lu Sangui said with a smile: "Haha, Master Chen can look forward to it."

Seeing his warm smile, Chen Wenju felt like a whimsical clown, and he couldn't tell how others were mocking him in their hearts.

"Forget it. No matter whether it goes up or down, the ten watermelons I ordered from you will remain unchanged. We are just trying to grow them here. Who knows if they will be as good as the oranges from Huainan?"

Lu Sangui smiled and nodded, agreeing without revealing any other information.

Chen Wenju couldn't help but curse in his heart, "What a cunning old man!"

But who can blame him for having such a rare item in his hand?

But the watermelon that was soaked in the well water was cool and sweet. Taking a bite of it on a hot summer day would make you feel refreshed all over.

Last year, I followed Lu Sangui's advice and got some watermelons to honor my grandmother, which made my father praise me for the first time.

It was only the end of spring this year, but he was already trying hard to look for Lu Sangui, and finally he found him.

Now there is another street called Wenyuefang, and I have gotten a few more shares. It seems that I will be the center of attention at home again this summer!

Chen Wenjuan had a look of joy on his face that he couldn't hide, and the people around him couldn't stop laughing.

This Chen Wenjuan looks like a dandy and naive guy, but he has a kind heart and is not afraid of hard work. He is someone worth making friends with.

After the deal was settled, Du Wenxiu took A Luo to say goodbye to Lu Sangui, saying that the workshop needed people too and they had to go back early.

"Sister-in-law, please go home without worry. I will go back to discuss with my wife and buy another house in Dongxing County. I will move here soon to be closer to you so that I can take care of you in the future."

Lu Sangui clasped his fists and bowed to bid farewell to Du Wenxiu, saying so.

Du Wenxiu also earnestly advised him:

"Brother Sangui's intentions are good, but my sister-in-law seems to be more accustomed to where she lives now. If she doesn't want to, don't force her."

"Don't let this matter cause discord between husband and wife. That would be a waste of time."

Lu Sangui just smiled and said that he knew what was going on, and asked them to be careful on the road. Only then did Du Wenxiu get on the carriage and leave.

"Finally, we have to go back. If we delay for another day or so, I'm afraid I'll have to go to the store to buy some cloth to make diapers."

A Luo let out a long sigh and sighed.

Du Wenxiu took a quick look and saw, indeed, a pile of used diapers wrapped in the bag next to it, and she couldn't help but feel disgusted.

"Auntie is really good at managing life. It's fine to just throw away the used diaper. Why bother to pack it up and take it back?"

"Oh, don't say that." A Luozi said:

"These are just peed on. I can take them home and wash them. They can still be used. How much money would it cost to buy cloth to make them?"

"If something like that was stained with dirt, I would have thrown it aside a long time ago. Why would I take it back?" A Luo grumbled in dissatisfaction.

Du Wenxiu couldn't persuade her and had to shut up.
