The bad man who is a womanizer, go on a blind date in a hurry

Chapter 139 The Old Couple Silently Prepared

Lu Yao chatted with Xie Jingran and the others for a long time on the mountain.

Finally, I returned home humming a little tune.

At this time, Uncle Lu and brother-in-law had already explained the blind date to Mother Lu in detail.

After hearing this, Mother Lu fell into deep thought. She sat quietly in the main seat in the main hall, taking a puff of her old dry tobacco from time to time.

Lu Yao hummed a little tune as she returned home. After playing with her own children in the yard, she walked into the main room.

"Mom, why are your dark circles so dark? People who don't know would think you've turned evil!" Lu Yao felt that if her mother painted her lips dark red, she could be Niu Hulu Lu.

"Stop talking nonsense here!" Mother Lu scolded, "You are so capable again today, aren't you?"

"Mom, I didn't hit anyone today."

Mother Lu slammed the table: "That's not what I meant!"

She was talking about Lu Yao having to pay a fine of sixty taels of silver, and not being in a hurry to find a husband, but finding someone she liked.

If this matter were to get out, people would be so amused that they would die.

What kind of family is this? What are their conditions? They paid sixty taels of silver for their daughter to find true love, but they can't just live like that?

"Did your forty taels of silver fall from the sky? Can you encounter such a good thing every year? I think you..."

"Stop, stop, stop! I don't want to know what you think, I want to know what I think! I think what I did was right!" Lu Yao quickly interrupted her mother's lecture.

If she didn't interrupt, my mother could scold me for half an hour.

Even Lu Yao, who had tasted the sweetness of the original owner's Er Gouzi's behavior several times, immediately followed the original owner's appearance in her memory, put her hands on her hips, glared and said: "I am like this, so what!"

Er Gouzi is going to make trouble.

"You!" Mother Lu pointed her pipe at Lu Yao, and was so angry that she couldn't speak.

According to the Lu family's years of experience, if Ergouzi starts making trouble, no one will have peace today.

"Okay, mother. There's no point in saying more." Uncle Lu came in from outside and winked at Mother Lu, telling her not to argue with her daughter. If she got angry, her daughter would make a fuss again.

Following behind Uncle Lu was Lu Lin. Lu Lin said nothing, glanced at Lu Yao, and followed Uncle Lu into the room where the old couple slept.

Soon, the two came out. Lu Yao saw Lu Lin holding a large jar of peanut oil and followed Uncle Lu.

Ignoring these two people for the moment, Lu Yao turned around and continued to argue with her mother.

"Mom, I know what you're thinking. You just feel bad about losing the sixty taels of silver!"

Mother Lu’s face turned red.

Who wouldn't feel sorry for sixty taels of silver? She had lived for most of her life and had never seen so much money.

I thought my life would be easier in the future, but ended up handing everything over to the imperial court.

"Mom, don't worry, your daughter is different now. Not only can she earn 60 taels, she can also earn 600 or 6,000 taels in the future!"

"Just brag, look how good you are!" Mother Lu really wanted to give her daughter a big thumbs-up.

"I'm not exaggerating. Mom, money is dead, but people are alive.

As long as I am here, as long as I know how to make money, good days are still to come!"

How to convince stubborn customers?

There's no need to reason with her or appeal to her emotions. Just tell her the pros and cons, paint a rosy picture, and talk about the benefits.

"How do you make money?"

"Don't forget, I have my own business. And now I have made friends with the Song family. The Song family is big and powerful. Just give me some work and I can make a lot of money!

Don't stop me, I'm leaving tomorrow! I want to go back to the city to earn money!"

I went back to see how my small building was going, and took a stroll on the street to see if I could develop some more consulting business.

After all, she has a lot of places to spend money now.

After hearing this, Lu's mother remembered the carpentry work for the Song family that her daughter had helped her get.

After finishing the whole job, she and her eldest daughter could earn five taels of silver just from wages.

Mother Lu didn't really want to argue with her daughter, but after hearing about today's blind date, she was still very angry and had to vent her anger by arguing with her daughter.

When Lu Yao mentioned the Song family, Mother Lu continued, "Okay, stop talking about those useless things. If you go back to the city, take your sister and me to the Song family's house to take a look."

Take a quick look, measure the size, and prepare what needs to be prepared.

Mother Lu is a serious person. Once there is work to do, she will feel like she has something important to worry about and can't let it go. She will make sure to finish it successfully.

Lu Yao was shocked and thought: We can't let Dad and Big Sister go now, some things haven't been covered up yet.

So he smiled and said, "Mom, you and elder sister should wait for two more days. They have just started to build it. Don't worry, this job will definitely be yours. You can't run away."

At this time, Lu Yao saw her father coming back from outside, followed by Sister Lu's second and third husbands. The three of them went into the sleeping room together.

After a while, three people came out, each holding a piece of cloth, and went out again.

"Hey, Dad! What are you doing all these times?" Lu Yao was surprised at what her father was doing.

"I'll tell you when I get back." Uncle Lu shouted as he hurried away.

It turned out that Uncle Lu had never forgotten to resell those gifts.

Especially after Lu Yao said today that she wanted to pay the sixty taels fine, as soon as Father Lu came back, he immediately took action.

I have to sell some of the gifts quickly and collect the sixty taels of silver from Ergouzi before I can feel at ease.

He went around the village and contacted several wealthy households, and sold a jar of peanut oil, two rolls of cotton cloth and a roll of high-quality ramie cloth at a reasonable price lower than the market price.

Those families bought cheap goods and got good goods, while the Lu family got money. And they didn't leave the village, so everyone saved time and effort.

When Uncle Lu came back and explained it to Lu Yao in detail, Lu Yao gave Uncle Lu a thumbs up and said, "Dad, you are also a good salesperson!"

That afternoon, Uncle Lu went in and out several times, handled six or seven gifts, and earned eighteen taels of silver.

"Old lady, now I really have sixty taels of silver!"

At night, Uncle Lu and Mother Lu lay in bed, carefully counting the money they had saved.

Forty-five plus eighteen is sixty-three taels of silver, which is three taels over.

Er Gouzi really earned enough money to pay the fine.

Moreover, there were still so many gifts, and the most valuable ginseng had not been touched. Lu's mother and Lu Shan immediately earned another five taels of silver from the carpentry work for the Song family.

Perhaps, Ergouzi was not exaggerating when he said that life will get better and better.

Mother Lu thought about it for most of the night, and finally said, "Why don't we just build that house. After all, Er Gouzi is getting married, and he needs a new house. The kids behind are getting older, and there's no room for them.

It is better to cover it sooner rather than later, and take advantage of the extra money now.”

And just as Ergouzi said, building a new big tiled house will not only make it more comfortable for him to live in, but it will also be easier for the children at home to get married.

"Maybe after we build a new house, there will be more people proposing marriages for Ergouzi." Uncle Lu couldn't sleep either. He was still thinking about various things.

The two decided to build a house!

Since we are building a house, there are many more things to consider.

Mother Lu began to calculate how much money, materials, and how many people would be needed to help build the house.

Uncle Lu was calculating how many more gifts to sell and where to sell them.

"Anyway, those ginsengs have to be sold, and we can't eat them." Uncle Lu muttered.

Mother Lu agreed: "Yes, what kind of ginseng do we farmers eat? We might as well eat more eggs. Sell it! Sell it!"

On some things, the two elders agree.

It was clear that the construction of the house would not start in the next few days, but once they decided to build it, the old couple started preparing for it from now on.

Before they knew it, neither of them had slept much all night.

The next day, both of them came to Lu Yao with dark circles under their eyes.
