Time Travel: Conditional Wealth

Chapter 11: The Beauty Trap Fails

I heard the voice before I saw the person, and the courtyard was filled with lively noise.

There was the voice of a strange woman, she was cursing, and there was also a girl's screaming mixed with crying. The cursing was unbearable to hear, and the crying was annoying.

The woman grabbed Li Zhi's clothes and half-lifted her up, then raised her hand and slapped her hard in the face.

"I told you you're a slut, but you refused to admit it. Yet you ended up running away to someone else's house anyway. You're a shameless slut." The woman cursed in a very ugly way.

Li Zhi fell to the side due to the force of the slap. She stared at the man who hit her in disbelief, tears of grievance falling continuously: "Yes, I am a foreigner, but you can't stop my freedom of love."

Someone among the audience finally came back to his senses. It was Xiao Yan himself. He asked sincerely, "Who are you in a free love relationship with? Don't mention me. We just talked once, okay?"

Everyone in the yard turned to look at Xiao Yan. He Xi and Lu Jinan outside the door looked at each other and felt that they could no longer watch the show.

While pushing the cart into the yard, He Xi searched the original owner's memory for the woman who was speaking and determined that it was probably his aunt.

He Niu's wife Su Ye has three children. The eldest son He Weiguo is 24 years old and married. The second son He Weimin is 20 years old and unmarried. He was the one who got into the fight in the field today. The third daughter He Yi is 18 years old, graduated from junior high school, unmarried, and has ridiculously high standards.

Following the crowd's gaze, He Xi and Lu Jinan walked in one after the other, pushing their bicycles.

Lu Jinan was wearing a white Dacron shirt, black pants, and Huili shoes. His outfit was simple yet luxurious, and he had an extremely handsome face, which stunned Li Zhi and He Yi.

He Xi was unhappy. She suddenly felt like her treasure was being peeped at and coveted by others.

"I'm back." Mother He said confidently, "Let me introduce you to everyone. This is Lu Jinan, the third son of the Lu family. He just went to the countryside a few days ago to live with my daughter."

He Yi looked He Xi up and down, his eyes revealing a bit of dissatisfaction: "Grandpa is partial, how come He Xi always gets all the good things?"

Su Ye stopped him in time and said, "It's not He Xi's fault. Your father and I were afraid that you two wouldn't be a good match and that you would be bullied in the future and we wouldn't be able to help you, so we gave the marriage to He Xi."

"Mom..." He Yi was unwilling and whispered, "Why aren't they afraid? They are so happy that they forget everything else, right?"

Lu Jinan did not participate. He silently unloaded the backpack that He Xi brought back. It was not light. He was more curious about what was inside the backpack, as it involved a bunch of women.

Hearing the other party's unfriendly tone, He Xi curled her lips and greeted everyone enthusiastically: "Don't worry, cousin, he treats me very well. Auntie also brought me a lot of things. I will take them out and show them to everyone later."

He Yi bit her lip, looking at He Xi in front of her and finding everything about her unpleasant.

Li Zhi was still sitting on the ground with no one to help her, as if everyone had ignored her existence.

She bravely sought Lu Jinan's help. Her voice was soft and sounded aggrieved: "Lu Zhiqing, can you help me up?"

Lu Jinan's gaze stayed on her for a second, and he said calmly: "I thought you liked the feeling of sitting on the ground."

Lu Jinan, who can't cook and is picky about food, began to wash the vegetables skillfully. He was able to wash the prepared vegetables. Sometimes he wondered how he had survived the countryside in his previous life.

"It's better to put away the thoughts that you shouldn't have. I don't think you planned what happened today."

Li Zhi's face turned pale. She didn't expect Lu Jinan to tell her plan so directly, without caring at all that she was a girl, even though this was all her own plan.

She pretended to get up with difficulty and said, "I don't know what Lu Zhiqing meant, but it's true that I don't like He Weiguo."

"You..." Su Ye couldn't help but started swearing again.

In the end, Li Zhi left dejectedly, and before leaving, he did not forget to look at Lu Jinan twice.

Seeing that the person finally left, Su Ye breathed a sigh of relief.

"Xiao Xi, what have you been busy with recently? I always see you going out." Su Ye pulled He Xi to sit together.

He Xi looked at her mother's attitude and found that there was no change, which meant that their relationship was reasonable.

"I'm not busy." He Xi took the enamel teacup handed to her by Lu Jinan and drank happily, "Sell some things made at home."

"What is it?" Su Ye's tone was filled with surprise.

He Xi responded with a few symbolic remarks. How could she give up the opportunity to make a lot of money? Besides, they didn't seem to be that familiar with each other.

He's mother came over and asked, "Are you worried about her?"

He Xi nodded and breathed a sigh of relief: "The consequences of this matter are too serious. If things go wrong, I will be sentenced."

While people are still talking here, they have already started fighting over there.

Lu Jinan was teaching Xiao Yan a lesson, and the two of them were fighting each other.

It seemed that they were not serious about it, so He Xi felt relieved after taking a look.

Naturally, He Xi would be the one to cook dinner. It was a big responsibility to make delicious food.

"Hiss." Xiao Yan covered his chest where he was hit. "You really did that?"

"What else? It's time to learn your lesson. How can you chat with people you don't know well and fail to tell the other person's intentions?" Lu Jinan said calmly.

Xiao Yan curled his lips: "She's a girl, how would I know she has that kind of thoughts."

Finally, Xiao Yan was kicked to the ground. He rubbed his butt reluctantly and stood up: "Someone is in pain, but where is my master? You didn't even share the broth with me."

Lu Jinan raised his eyebrows: "Why don't you move to the educated youth dormitory? There is meat soup and beautiful women there that you will never get tired of."

He Xi turned around and said in a firm tone: "He is most likely the meat in the broth."

"Tang Monk's flesh?!" He's father summed it up very well.

Xiao Yan finally calmed down. He kept rubbing his butt, which made Lu Jinan unhappy.

Lu Jinan held the chopsticks, said nothing, and didn't pick up any food.

Xiao Yan looked at him, and naturally did not dare to pick up his chopsticks. He frowned and complained: "Humph, I'll learn this lesson next time."

Others did not move their chopsticks either. They all turned to look at He Xi. He Xi understood and passed some food to Lu Jinan: "It's getting colder tonight. Let's eat quickly. It's time to prepare thick blankets for you."

Without waiting for others to react, He Xi started eating slowly.

after dinner.

"What?" A cry of surprise broke the silence of the night. He's mother couldn't believe that He Xi actually earned 156 yuan plus 20 cloth coupons in just one trip.

After deducting the twenty yuan to buy materials for the next sale, the remaining money and tickets were in He's mother's hands. He's mother's eyes lit up: "Shall we continue?"

He Xi comforted him, "No, it's not safe. Let's change to food this time."

He's mother's mood took a sharp turn for the worse. She was a little angry that He Xi was panting heavily when she spoke. She almost thought that He Xi was going to stop. She smiled and said, "Okay, Mom will listen to you."

As soon as I left my parents' room, Lu Jinan appeared. He asked quietly, "Have you seen what my mother prepared for you?"

"No."

Lu Jinan gave an ambiguous sneer: "So what you said before was a lie?"

He stared at her for several seconds, then suddenly curled his lips and said, "Do you want me to unpack the package for you now?"

After washing up, He Xi was wearing cool clothes and had fair skin. The bright moonlight sprinkled all over her face. Her long hair was scattered on her chest, making her look even more seductive.

He Xi stood there without moving, feeling a little guilty. She actually didn't want to open the package, because opening the package would mean accepting certain things.

Lu Jinan did not expose her, and his momentum weakened: "The beauty trap has failed. I will watch you unpack tomorrow. It's getting late, go to bed."

"No need." He Xi paused, "I can do it myself."

"you sure?"

"I am sure."

He smiled: "My credit will be overdrawn."

He Xi subconsciously turned her head to avoid his sight.
