Farming and reading family

Recently, the eldest brother and the third brother have been sending gifts to parents, but the gifts were all prepared by Gao E, and the things sold by the two elders of the Chen family were actually the things they sent.

Lu Qingluo had never seen the Chen family elders since he followed Gao E. "Why? Your enemies?"

"My parents-in-law." Gao E said unhappily.

Lu Qingluo was stunned for a moment, looked at the two elders of the Chen family, and then looked at Gao E: "Are you harsh on your parents-in-law?"

I saw the two elders of the Chen family squatting on the ground in tattered clothes. If you didn’t know, you would think they were begging.

Gao E looked at Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo knew what to do and didn't say anything.

Gao E thought that the two elders of the Chen family had been quiet recently. What are they doing again?

I clearly made them some new clothes before, so why are they wearing their old tattered clothes again? Are they still reluctant to throw them away?

After she was sure, she took a detour to find Lu Hao. As for the affairs of the two elders of the Chen family, she didn't want to ask directly.

Lu Hao was squatting in the corner chatting animatedly with a few beggars. He didn't even notice Gao E appeared beside him. Instead, a few beggars immediately and professionally put their broken bowls in front of Gao E.

Gao E took out a few copper coins and threw them into their bowls, and they left with many thanks.

Only then did Lu Hao stand up, dusted off the dust on his clothes, and his eyes fell on Lu Qingluo.

Lu Qingluo looked away with some disgust.

Lu Hao didn't care. He looked at Gao E with a smile and whispered, "When did the newcomer come?"

"A few days ago." Gao E didn't mean to introduce them, and joked, "You've made progress. Your social circle is getting wider and wider."

Lu Hao perked up: "Big sister, you don't know, these people are not simple. A few days ago, they robbed Li Quan..."

He didn't pay much attention to these beggars at first, but when he found a few beggars selling some good things, he asked around and got some explosive news, which made him decide to develop his social network, since it didn't cost much anyway.

Gao E was puzzled by Lu Hao's joke.

Lu Hao was a man of good judgment. Seeing Sister Gao's uncertainty, he asked, "Could the woman they're talking about be... Sister?"

"Don't worry about this issue." Gao E did not deny it.

Lu Hao widened his eyes and secretly gave a thumbs up.

"What will Li Quan do next?" Gao E asked directly.

"After that..." Lu Hao took a moment to realize what was going on. "I went to see Mr. Chen, the richest man. Oh, and I treated a group of classmates to dinner yesterday."

Gao E thought about it. Li Quan was on good terms with Guan Fuzi and his people, so he must have known that Guan Fuzi wanted to accept Jin Chao as his student. Could it be that Chen Xiangyue's visit was related to Li Quan?

Chen Xiangyue didn't say anything at that time, and she didn't dare to ask.

But if it was Li Quan, it would make sense.

Lu Haokan looked at Sister Gao without saying anything and whispered, "Li Quan is not someone you can easily mess with."

Gao E didn't continue talking about this matter: "Is there anyone in He County looking for Jiang Zhongren now?"

Lu Qingluo on the side immediately pricked up his ears.

"There are many." Lu Hao was not very enthusiastic. "But Jiang Zhongren seems to have disappeared from the face of the earth. Could he be dead?"

Lu Qingluo lowered his eyes and listened carefully to Gao E's answer.

"Although the Doushui River changed its course, Guiku Mountain is not far from the Doushui River. Is it possible that it left along the Doushui River?" Gao E guessed.

"Then you're dead." Lu Hao spread his hands.

"Oh?"

"Sister, you don't know that Ghost Crying Mountain corresponds to Ghost Crying Gorge. The water there is fast-flowing and there is a huge drop in height. There are strange rocks all over the place. Not to mention people, even fish will be killed there. Every summer, the place is filled with the smell of rotten fish." Lu Hao said with disgust.

Gao E suddenly realized that it was no wonder that Jiang Zhongren had been at Ghost Crying Mountain. He must have known the situation in Ghost Crying Gorge. "Okay, I'm leaving then."

Lu Hao didn't expect Sister Gao to leave so easily, which made her seem useless.

Gao E bought some things by the way, and the sun was setting when she left the city.

When they were halfway there, Lu Qingluo suddenly asked, "Do you know that Jiang Zhongren is dead?"

Gao E thought Lu Qingluo wasn't stupid: "Do you think I can kill him?"

Lu Qingluo felt that this was impossible, but she had felt that Gao E was a bit strange these days. She felt that if she was given time, she could plan anything. "Only after he dies can you guarantee me the three-year deadline."

"Then what do you plan to do?" Gao E did not directly answer Lu Qingluo's question.

Lu Qingluo thought about it and felt a little regretful that he didn't take revenge himself: "I want his head."

Gao E thought this girl was a bit fierce: "Why would a little girl like you need something scary like that?"

"To pay tribute to my family." Lu Qingluo said seriously.

She is very serious about anything related to her revenge.

"Okay." Gao E looked ahead.

Lu Qingluo was silent for a long time and then said cautiously: "Give me his head now. I will go back and pay tribute to my family and serve you for the rest of my life."

"Three years." Gao E didn't plan to give it to her at this time.

Lu Qingluo still didn't give up: "He has a treasure on him."

"so what?"

"Aren't you tempted?"

"Are you moved?" Gao E asked back.

"I just want revenge." Lu Qingluo stared at Gao E. "If you want the treasure, I can help you. But you must know that you can't keep it."

Gao E laughed when she heard this: "Everyone thinks that gold, silver, pearls and jade are treasures, but I think that everything in the world is a treasure. For me, it's just a matter of what I need."

Lu Qingluo felt that Gao E was being pretentious: "You can think about it carefully."

"Yeah." Gao E responded perfunctorily.

Neither of them spoke anymore.

In fact, Lu Qingluo thought about threatening Gao E, but then she thought better of it. If Gao E really killed Jiang Zhongren, he would be her benefactor, and she couldn't treat her benefactor like that.

Gao E didn't think too much about it. She had thought about it before. The worst case scenario was that Lu Qingluo knew that Jiang Zhongren was dead and wanted to know where Jiang Zhongren's body was.

It was already dark when the two arrived at Batou Village. Chen Jie and Peng Can were waiting for them at the entrance of the village.

"Second sister-in-law is finally back." Chen Jie breathed a sigh of relief. "If I go to He County for a long time in the future, I will bring two young and strong people with me."

"It's okay." Gao E looked at the entrance of the village and thought that when the village was built in the future, she would build a gatehouse here and hang two large lanterns so that people returning home at night could see them from a distance.

"We trapped a few rabbits in the mountains today. Our family got two, but we haven't touched them yet." Chen Jie said excitedly.

Gao E was inspired when she heard about the rabbit: "Then I'll give one to my parents tomorrow."

Chen Jie stopped talking immediately.

He didn't want to go. Ever since the incident with Chen Rongxiu, he was not very willing to see his parents. Every time he went, he would just put down his things and leave.

His parents didn't think anything of it, which made him feel even more uncomfortable.

Gao E didn't hear a reply and continued, "It's so hot today, I have to buy some cloth to make them two sets of cooler clothes. I think He County is hotter than home."

Lu Qingluo was suspicious after hearing this. What did Gao mean by seeing the two elders of the Chen family walking around during the day and speaking so nicely to them as soon as she came back?
