Lu Laosi discovered that Laowu really understood him.

If he is selling for someone else, he will indeed add a little more.

But I'm selling this for my own family.

So he shook his head and said, "I really didn't add it. Believe it or not."

Lu Qingrong asked: "When did you get to know the businessman? I haven't heard you talk about it before."

He has always been used to being in control of everything in his hometown.

Old Fourth Lu is very annoyed by Old Fifth's behavior.

Ever since the fifth brother passed the imperial examination and became a scholar, he has regarded himself as the head of the family.

He found that Wulang's wife was really foresighted.

She had previously told them what to say if they met someone from the fifth room and were asked about the origin of the candles.

So he said, "Yesterday on our way back, Wulang's wife chatted up a businessman and got the job for us."

He added, "And you and Daya, don't even think about taking it for free, or I won't be able to explain to Wulang's wife when I get back."

"You know her temper."

"If I lose this, she'll suddenly get mad and beat me up. With her strength, I won't be able to withstand her."

This was all taught by Wulang's wife.

He has seen clearly these past two days that Wulang's wife is not afraid of her father-in-law Laowu.

Although he couldn't disobey openly, as soon as he opened his mouth, the fifth brother would be at a disadvantage.

There is nothing the fifth brother can do about his daughter-in-law.

Lao Wu came here on his own initiative today, and it is definitely not just to ask, he definitely wants to get it for free.

So he shut the other person up first.

If you have the ability, go ask his own daughter-in-law for it, don't ask him.

And he was sure of that, given Wulang's wife's personality.

If Mashiro gave some candles to Laowu and Daya, he would definitely be punished by her when he returned.

Besides, he really dislikes Lao Wu now, so he is not so stupid as to give it away for free.

Sure enough, when Lu Qingrong heard the words "Wulang's wife", his face darkened.

He looked at Lu Laosi sharply and asked, "Is it true?"

Lu Laosi was particularly upset when he was looked at by him, "Why would I lie to you?"

"If we knew a businessman, we would have brought candles to sell long ago. Why would we wait until now?"

"Isn't this all thanks to Wulang's wife?"

He couldn't help but sarcastically said, "Although ten cents is not enough for a meal for your family."

"But for us, it can buy more than a bushel of corn, which is enough to eat for several days."

Lu Qingrong: "..."

The fourth brother is really irritable and has been led astray by that damn girl.

The original idea of ​​taking ten or twenty candles was blocked by the fourth brother.

If the candle was really taken, the fourth brother would have to pay for it when he returned.

When he asked, he found out that he had taken it. He doubted that the dead girl would come to the county town to make trouble, which would be too embarrassing.

So I gave up this plan with a frustrated heart.

He thought for a moment and said, "Old Four, don't let that damned girl Qiao Sanya's instigation lead you to have a problem with me."

"We are brothers. If I get better, will I leave you behind?"

"Just like when I passed the imperial examination and was exempted from taxes on thirty acres of land, didn't I exempt all of it for my family's land?"

"There will be more benefits in the future if you pass the imperial examination."

He emphasized meaningfully: "If I am well, you will be well, right?"

But he couldn't let the people in his hometown become alienated from him because of the instigation of that dead girl.

Lu Laosi smiled and said, "Look at what you said. You are our brother. Even if our bones are broken, our tendons are still connected."

"How could we have any problem with you?"

"We will all depend on you in the future."

"After Wulang's wife returned, she didn't say anything bad about you, so don't think too much about it."

But he snorted in his heart, because most of the harvest from the 30 acres of land in the family went into the pocket of the fifth brother.

Although they say that the tax exemption is for the family, the benefits are still taken by the fifth brother himself.

Every time he is well, they are well.

But he is living a life of luxury in the county town, while they are eating coarse food at home. Is this good?

The most infuriating thing is that Lao Wu helps the Yu family so much, but he just keeps taking things from home.

It was only when he came back from the county town yesterday that he heard from his wife what they had found out.

Lao Wu's mother-in-law takes her grandson out for dinner every day.

The fifth son’s wife often sends gifts to her parents’ home as subsidies.

This is so disgusting.

But he is not stupid. He has spent so much money on Lao Wu, so he naturally won't offend him openly.

Lu Qingrong heaved a sigh of relief after hearing what the fourth brother said.

As long as my brothers from my hometown want to rely on me in the future, I have to provide him with everything first.

So what if you have an opinion? You have to put up with it.

He smiled and said a few nice words to the fourth brother, such as thank you for your hard work.

He left with Lu Mei, who was a little confused.

Seeing the two people leaving, Lu Laosi's face darkened.

His son Lu Silang couldn't help but said, "I heard from my mother yesterday that the grandson of the Yu family goes to Uncle Wu's house to eat good food every day."

"Uncle Wu came to visit us, but he didn't even ask us to go to his house for a meal."

He was already seventeen years old, a few months older than Goro.

But now, not only has he not married, he hasn’t even gotten married.

The family had to support my fifth uncle's studies for the imperial examinations, which was a heavy burden.

Girls from better-off families ask for a high dowry.

Those who wanted to marry into the Lu family with poor conditions were looked down upon by his grandmother and mother.

So he kept putting it off.

In the past, he had been thinking that when his fifth uncle passed the imperial examination, they would also be able to benefit from it and he would be able to marry a good wife.

But yesterday I saw how my fifth uncle’s family lives and how those two bastards eat, wear and spend their money.

And how Uncle Wu treated them and the Yu family differently.

This completely shattered his idea.

Uncle Wu even tricked his own son Wulang into marrying a stupid wife, and he was usually very cold to Wulang.

He felt that what Qiao Sanya said was right and that his fifth uncle was not reliable at all.

Instead of relying on Uncle Wu, it is better to rely on Qiao Sanya.

Just like now, they came to the county town to sell candles, but Uncle Wu didn't even ask them to have a meal.

In the past, he wouldn't have thought too much about it, after all, they had never been there to eat.

But the Yu family eats there every meal, so why can’t they eat it?

When Lu Laosi heard what his son said, he felt even more disgusted.

He said, "We just need to see him clearly."

He had a feeling that if they followed Wulang's wife, their life would not be worse than Laowu's family.

Then he smiled meaningfully, "With Wulang's wife here, it won't be that easy for your uncle to take away most of the money in the family in the future."

It has to be said that Wulang's wife coming home might be a good thing for them.

He now believes that the other party is a lucky star.

When Silang heard this, he smiled and nodded, saying, "That's true."

"Wulang's wife is so capable, she will definitely not let grandma give Uncle Wu so much money anymore."

As long as they don't give all the family money to their uncle, their lives won't be so hard.

the other side.

After they left the market, Lu Mei asked, "Dad, why didn't you ask Fourth Uncle for candles?"

Lu Qingrong said with a cold face: "He said that this was a job that Qiao Sanya found, and he couldn't give it to us for free."

"Go back to the village in a couple of days and see what's going on with this candle."

He also specifically reminded her: "Talk to your brother properly again."

"Don't let him be provoked by Qiao Sanya and become alienated from you."

The son is not close to him and may still be resentful towards him.

But he cares a lot about his biological sister Lu Mei.

Lu Mei also didn't think that her brother would really become estranged from her.

It must have been that damn girl who instigated that day, and she had been looking for an opportunity to coax her brother.

So he nodded and said, "Okay, I will go back to the village in two days."

Lu family.

Boss Lu and Boss Lu sold all the candles first and went home.

When they got home, a bowl of rice fried with eggs was waiting for them. They ate so much that they couldn't even lift their heads, it was so delicious.

After dinner, Lu Laosi wiped his mouth and told Qiao Ye about his encounter with Laowu and his daughter in the county town.

Qiao Ye didn't expect that they would meet Lu Mei on the first day.

She raised her eyebrows and said, "Believe it or not, Lu Daya will definitely come back to inquire about the news within two days."

Lu Laosi and his companions couldn't help but ask, "What should we do then?"

If Daya came back suddenly, she would easily find out that the candles were made by them.

Qiao Ye curled his lips and said, "Then let's strike first."

There was no way I could keep the candle-making business a secret forever.

But let’s delay it if we can.

Once things are stable, it won't be so easy for the scumbag father-in-law and his family to do bad things.
