Farming and reading family

He doesn't want to get involved in these trivial matters.

"Ten taels." Li Quan said directly.

Liu Zhen ignored him.

"Twenty taels." Li Quan stretched out two fingers heavily. He didn't want to spend too much money on this trivial matter.

Although Liu Zhen is an expert, it is still very profitable to make twenty taels of money.

"Deal." Liu Zhen said simply.

Li Quan looked at his two fingers and thought that if he polished them well, maybe ten taels would be enough.

Gao E knew that Li Quan would not give up, after all, his mother was also put in jail. She wondered if He Tangchun would put Li Quan in jail too if Li Quan used extreme measures?

Gao E is really unsure about this.

Since He Tangchun does not involve his interests, it is okay to let him do something by the way, but if it involves his interests, it is hard to say.

Although they do not put profit above all else, they will not firmly pursue truth and justice.

Lu Qingluo came back from outside covered in sweat and went to his bed as soon as he entered the cave.

"It's warm now, we can find a place to wash." Gao E reminded.

"No need." Lu Qingluo was very impolite.

Gao E thought for a moment and said, "Did you see Li Quan who came today?"

Lu Qingluo nodded perfunctorily.

"He's from Zhiweilou," Gao E introduced. "And Jiang Zhongren has business dealings with Zhiweilou."

Lu Qingluo immediately perked up: "How did you know?"

"I have my own way." Gao E smiled slightly.

Lu Qingluo thought for a moment and came over to sit next to Gao E: "Zhiweilou's business is all over Dachang, how could you possibly know about them?"

This surprised Gao E. She thought that Zhiweilou was only in Qinzhou City. No wonder He Tangchun was so cautious after the matter involved Zhiweilou.

She was even more glad that she had dealt with Jiang Zhongren quietly, otherwise if Zhiweilou was really involved, she might have disappeared quietly.

"Then... is your hatred related to Zhiweilou?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo uncertainly.

"It shouldn't matter." Lu Qingluo was not sure either.

Gao E felt a bit heavy in her heart. The hunter who had caught the monkey alive before, and Jiang Zhongren who had been in the same group as the turtle-climbing woman, were all connected to Zhiweilou. And then there was the guest list of Zhiweilou that He Tangchun and the others wanted...

This Zhiweilou is really not simple.

"You hope it doesn't matter?" Gao E said casually.

Lu Qingluo's expression was solemn.

She really hoped to have nothing to do with Zhiweilou. She could kill Jiang Zhongren, but she believed that she could not deal with Zhiweilou.

"It's none of your business." Lu Qingluo said stubbornly.

"I won't care." Gao E didn't say much.

In summer, vegetables begin to become more abundant. Gao E has to decide whether the leftover vegetables are suitable for making pickles or kimchi, which means she has to buy more jars.

Li Quan didn't come these two days, so Gao E planned to go to He County and find someone who sells jars to send over some jars, and buy some salt by the way.

So he asked Peng Can to wash the ox cart, asked Lei to look after Xiaowu, and planned to go into the city.

"Can you drive an ox cart?" Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo.

"Yes." Lu Qingluo frowned slightly.

She thought that if she could drive a horse carriage, she should be able to drive an ox cart.

"Okay." Gao E saw her embarrassment and probably felt disgusted. "Then let's go together."

As a result, as soon as they set out on the road, Lu Qingluo kept whipping the cow's butt with a whip, and the cow simply stopped moving and cried.

"That's enough, that's enough." Gao E snatched the whip from Lu Qingluo's hand. "If you whip the cow any longer, you'll beat it to death."

"It's too slow. It won't move when we rush it, and it stops when we hit it." Lu Qingluo was a little annoyed.

Gao E patted the ox gently: "Oxen are slow, but they are steady. Besides, oxen are not just for pulling carts; they also have to plow the fields."

"Why don't you use a carriage since you have horses at home?" Lu Qingluo thought the Chen family's horses were pretty good.

"There is no car." Gao E also thought about buying another carriage.

But it's not just a matter of money. Their family lives upstairs now, and it's difficult to park the carriage.

"Just buy one." Lu Qingluo said simply.

"That's easy for you to say." Gao E wondered what Lu Qingluo's background was. He had no idea what money meant. "A carriage would cost at least several dozen taels. It would take an average farmer more than ten years to buy one."

"We also need to buy horses. After buying horses, we need to prepare horse feed. Even if ordinary horses don't need to be fed so finely, they are still not comparable to cows and donkeys." Gao E said slowly.

Lu Qingluo didn't care about these things. She had never lived like this before.

"Actually, ox carts are pretty good. They make people slow down." Gao E looked at the increasingly wild weeds on both sides of the road.

Lu Qingluo didn't know what was good about it. She just felt that Gao E was a country peasant woman and she didn't know what it was like to be with her in the outside world.

She simply jumped out of the car and walked, feeling that she was walking faster than a cow.

Gao E didn't care and was thinking about what she wanted to buy.

As soon as the two men entered He County, Lu Qingluo became alert.

"Someone is watching us." Lu Qingluo whispered to Gao E while sitting on the ox cart.

"Where?" Gao E felt that he should be staring at Lu Qingluo.

"Let's go." Lu Qingluo felt relieved.

"You... don't have any enemies, do you?" Gao E asked in a low voice.

"I came to He County to seek revenge. I don't know anyone else." Lu Qingluo said coldly that he was Gao E's enemy.

"Oh——" Gao E thought about it and thought that it might be hers.

And she just happened to have a conflict with the Li family recently.

Before she had gone far, Gao E was stopped by Li Quan.

"Mrs. Chen, what a coincidence." Li Quan looked at Gao E with ill intention.

Gao E looked around and saw someone blocking the way. "What a coincidence? I think you're so hypocritical."

Li Quan didn't care: "Then let's talk for a moment."

"Just say what you want to say." Gao E looked at Li Quan with disdain.

Li Quan gestured, and the people on the side pulled Gao E's cow away.

Lu Qingluo subconsciously wanted to take action, but was held down by Gao E.

"What do you want to do?" Gao E yelled, "I'm telling you, Li Quan, my husband knows Mr. He. If you dare to mess with me, I'll make you pay for it."

Her shout attracted the attention of passers-by, but seeing so many people from the Li family, they did not dare to stop and look, wondering who was so unlucky to offend the Li family.

Lu Qingluo couldn't hide his disgust, wondering what else Gao E could do besides yelling?

Li Quan waved his hand nonchalantly, indicating that Gao E and the others should be taken to the alley.

Soon they came to a dead end. The surroundings were very quiet and the road behind was blocked by Li Quan's men.

Gao E calmed down after seeing this situation.

"Mrs. Chen, I think you understand my purpose. Let's not make things difficult for each other. As long as you go to the yamen and retract your confession, this matter will be over." Li Quan said generously.

"You are so shameless, you talk about bullying others so confidently." Gao E sneered. "What if I don't?"

"If you don't..." Li Quan looked at the people around him. They were all staring at Gao E and Lu Qingluo with ill intentions. "Then Madam Chen, forget about your reputation."

Gao E felt that Li Quan was shameless and still online: "This is indeed a good idea."
