I traveled to a very nice farm, and I was so happy to fight evil with evil
Chapter 70 Real or fake?
Lu Shao understood what his young wife meant as soon as he heard it.
He agreed, "This will tie together the interests of the entire village, which will be very beneficial to us."
"I support you no matter what you want to do."
"I met the head constable from the county government when I came back today. Qiao Youfu's case will be closed tomorrow."
"I will go to the county town tomorrow and bring the bamboo candles to Magistrate Lu and a former classmate."
Qiao Ye nodded: "Okay, then I will make two special mosquito coils for you today, and you can give them to others."
If you want to send it to the county magistrate and his classmates with good background, you naturally can't use the cheap mosquito coils you sell.
Lu Shao smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, my lady."
Qiao Ye said: "After I've worked hard, you still have to work hard."
"After I'm done, you have to carve them all, so that they look more elegant and classy."
Lu Shao said: "No problem."
The two chatted for a while, and he said, "By the way, I'm going to check out my father's property."
When he came back to seek revenge in his previous life, his father and others had already gone to the capital.
He just sent someone back to focus on investigating the frame-up.
At that time, my grandfather gave him 100 taels of silver alone, and told him that there were about 300 taels of silver left in the family.
After his grandfather passed away, the more than three hundred taels of silver all went into his father's pocket.
His father went to the provincial capital to take the imperial examination twice, spending hundreds of taels of silver.
In addition, I have lived a very comfortable life in the county town over the years, and my monthly expenses are at least several taels.
His father would attend literary gatherings from time to time, or go to the provincial capital to ask people for advice on literature, and it would be easy for him to spend ten or twenty taels of silver.
There are two main sources of money.
The Lu family's main support was food, chickens, eggs, etc. The total amount of silver sent to the county town every year was about thirty or forty taels.
The shop left by my grandfather collects about thirty taels of rent every year.
According to calculations, his father's money should have been almost spent.
But now he felt something was wrong.
Especially when seeing what Lu Zhoujin and his sister were wearing and accessorizing, the total value must have been over a hundred taels.
His father and stepmother were dressed even better.
So in addition to the silver, house and a shop left by his grandfather, his father must have extra assets or money.
Qiao Ye also said when he heard it: "I also think your father should not be short of money."
"Their family's living standard is not low, and they have to feed Mrs. Yu and her grandson every day."
"Your stepmother often subsidizes her family."
"Your stepmother must have contributed a lot to Lu Mei's husband's education."
"Today, the old lady found several pieces of very good and new fabrics from the county town."
"Based on the price of cloth in the county, I estimate that one piece of cloth would cost at least five taels of silver, or even more."
"Just relying on the rent and the money given by the old Lu family is definitely not enough for their family's expenses."
"If they were short of money, they wouldn't be so generous with their spending."
"Your father was a farmer's son. He became rich after marrying your mother."
"He has no means of making money except spending it."
"So if there is any property or money that you don't know about, it is most likely from your mother's family."
"We should investigate it carefully."
Lu Shao nodded, "I thought so too."
Qiao Ye asked curiously, "How much money did your grandpa give you before? Did you spend it all?"
Lu Shao replied: "One hundred taels."
"I spent about thirty taels on buying paper, ink, brush and inkstone for Shu Xiu and some miscellaneous expenses."
"The rest were taken away by my sister under various names."
"I spent all the money last year, so I started copying books and writing storybooks to make money."
In his previous life, his biological father deliberately raised him to be simple-minded, and most of his mind was focused on studying.
I don’t know about the twists and turns and sinister intentions behind them.
At that time, his grandfather and mother who loved him sincerely passed away one after another, and his stepmother came into the family, making things difficult for him.
His stepsisters and stepbrothers all had their own ulterior motives and regarded him as a thorn in their side.
Then he was framed by his stepsister and his biological father sent him back to the countryside on an excuse.
All his past happiness was shattered, and only his sister came to him for comfort and gave him the so-called "warmth".
She is his only biological sister, so he cares about her very much.
His father must have known that his grandfather had given him one hundred taels in private, and then told Lu Mei.
Lu Mei often came to the village to care for him, and every once in a while she would talk about how difficult life was in the Yu family.
How much money does her brother-in-law need to spend on his studies? She herself doesn’t even have money to buy fabric to make new clothes.
Between money and family affection, he cares more about the latter.
So she gradually drained all the money out of him.
Even the money he earned from copying books and writing storybooks was kept for himself, and the rest was taken away by her under various names.
Later, he was framed and exterminated from his clan, and fled to the border. He suffered a lot before he truly grew up.
Qiao Ye reached out and patted his shoulder, "It's okay, just don't be fooled by her again."
Can also understand.
Who would have thought that the only relative in one’s heart might appear one way on the surface, but actually be a completely different person.
My husband was only a boy of fourteen or fifteen years old at that time, so it was normal for him to be deceived and blinded by false family affection.
Lu Shao nodded, "I will definitely not be fooled again in the future."
The two chatted for a while, and then Lu Shao went to carve chrysanthemum candles.
Qiao Ye was adjusting the color and scent of the orchid candle.
For dinner, Qiao Ye instructed Mrs. Lu to cook a pot of porridge and eat it with meat buns bought from the county town.
Qiao Ye said this was a reward for their work performance over the past two days.
Everyone in the Lu family enjoyed the meal.
After receiving recognition and rewards, everyone became more motivated.
Qiao Ye also used the chicken he bought in the county town today to stew some nourishing medicinal food.
Except for the children who couldn't drink it, everyone else got a bowl.
It makes everyone in the Lu family feel warmed.
I thought only the old lady would have medicinal food, but I didn’t expect they would also have some.
Wulang's wife is really generous. The more I look at her, the more I like her.
We made a lot of mosquito coils together today.
Boss Lu said to Qiao Ye, "Wu Lang's wife, there is a lot of work in the fields recently. I'm afraid we can't go to the county town every day to sell candles and mosquito coils."
"How about letting Dalang and the others take turns selling?"
Although making money is important, we cannot neglect the work in the fields.
Qiao Ye replied: "I think so too. From now on, the younger generations will take turns going to the town and the county."
You can also exercise more.
"Let my eldest cousin and his friends take the candles and mosquito coils to the county town and try to sell them tomorrow."
Lu Dalang said nervously, "Mosquito coils are not like candles that can be tried on others. They have used candles themselves before."
“And they have never heard of mosquito coils. What if no one buys them?”
Qiao Ye thought for a moment and said, "I'll go to the county town with you guys tomorrow and take you to sell a few times."
"Just sell it like this from now on."
Hearing her words, Lu Dalang and others breathed a sigh of relief.
The tension in my heart was mostly relieved, as if I had found a backbone.
If it were them, I really wouldn’t know what to do.
They were also very curious about how Wulang's wife would be sold.
The next day after breakfast.
The four brothers of Lu Lao Da went to work in the fields.
Qiao Ye took Lu Dasao and Lu Ersao, followed by Lu Dalang, Erlang, Sanlang and Silang, to the county town to sell candles and mosquito coils.
The main reason for bringing two aunts along was to avoid suspicion.
Lu Shao also went to the county town with them, but he was going to the government office.
We still rode in a ox cart and separated after arriving at the county town.
Qiao Ye asked Lu Dalang to take everyone to another market that Lu Mei didn't often go to.
After arriving, Qiao Ye asked them to take out their things.
As soon as the things were put on display, people came to buy candles.
Qiao Ye immediately picked up a plate of mosquito coils and introduced them.
"This is a mosquito coil we made to repel and kill mosquitoes."
"Would you like to take a plate back to try?"
"Order a plate before going to bed, and you won't be disturbed by mosquitoes buzzing in your ears all night, and you won't be bitten anymore."
The people who were buying candles all looked at the mosquito coil in her hand and asked, "Is it real?"
They had never heard of mosquito coils, so they didn't believe in them.
