You are unlucky and I am tough

Among the dozen or so people, each family had acquaintances who came to inquire about the situation. Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang did not say that the matter of Ganoderma lucidum could not be disclosed, so someone told them about the Ganoderma lucidum collection.

The news that Cheng Shuang had discovered the Ganoderma lucidum and sold it for two thousand taels was known to everyone in the village by the next day.

Mr. and Mrs. Cheng and Wei Changgui and his son came to the door one by one with a thick face, but none of them even entered the courtyard gate.

Wei Qinglang even kicked Wei Changgui, and the three of them, father and son, were so angry that they wanted to fight him. He simply took out an arrow, and Wei Da Kui was so scared that he ran away, and the remaining two people knew they couldn't win and ran away cursing.

Wei Changgui cursed Wei Qinglang everywhere in the village, calling him an ungrateful person, but everyone in the village knew that he had abused Wei Qinglang since childhood, and no one stood on his side at all.

He ran to find Wei Nanxing again, and Wei Nanxing directly said that none of the money in the family was earned by him and he had no money.

The whole Wei family became famous in the village. On the morning of the third day, when Cheng Pan went to the river to wash clothes, several women came up to her and asked her if she would be fourteen after the New Year, and if she could get married on the fourteenth day. Cheng Pan was so scared that she ran back without finishing washing her clothes.

After asking about the situation, Cheng Shuang took the unwashed clothes back to the river to continue washing them. She directly said to the women who had plans against her, "My sister is still young. It won't be too late to talk about marriage after raising her for another four or five years."

The news that the Wei family had become rich was a topic of discussion in the village for several days. At noon, people gathered in the fields and at the doorsteps of each house to discuss how the Wei family had become wealthy.

At this time, a crisp sound of horse hooves rang out in the village, and two carriages were seen slowly driving into the village.

The carriage in front was large and luxurious, its body made of precious wood and intricately carved, and its canopy covered in gorgeous blue satin that fluttered gently in the wind.

The horses pulling the cart were tall and strong, with shiny coats and steady steps.

And there were not only two carriages, but also four strong men on horseback following behind.

The wheels of the carriage rolled forward, making a rhythmic sound. The villagers looked at this scene with curiosity, craning their necks to look.

The adults were whispering to each other, discussing the identity of the people in the car. Some children were curious and wanted to chase after them, but were taken back by the adults.

The villagers pointed and talked, their faces full of curiosity, thinking that some wealthy guest had come to the house of Mr. Cheng.

Suddenly, the carriage stopped at a fork in the road. The curtain of the carriage in front was lifted, and a girl of about fourteen or fifteen got out. She was wearing a double-breasted skirt made of fine fabric and a hairpin on her head.

After getting off the car, he smiled and bowed to the villagers who gathered around to watch the fun, "Excuse me, I would like to ask where Cheng Shuang's home is."

"Looking for Cheng Shuang."

"You're here to look for Cheng Shuang." The villagers were surprised.

"By the way, her husband's surname is Wei." Xi Que added, "Can anyone show us the way?"

An old lady pointed ahead and said, "Go straight this way. After you pass the threshing ground, there's a dirt road that turns left. When you see a bamboo house, that's her home."

"Thank you."

The magpie bowed to the old lady who was showing the way, walked up to her, put a tael of silver in her hand, and turned around to get on the car.

The carriage continued to move forward. The old woman looked at the silver coins in her hand and opened her mouth wide, "This, this is silver?"

The people nearby came over and said, "Oh my god, just asking for directions and getting one or two taels of silver is really generous."

"Who is this person? What are you looking for Cheng Shuang for?"

The generous attitude of the passerby made the villagers more curious about the carriage, and many villagers followed it to see who was in the carriage.

Not long after, the carriage stopped at the door of the bamboo house. The gate of the Wei family's courtyard was closed. The family was helping Cheng Shuang dry the medicinal herbs in the yard and did not notice the movement outside.

Lu Yinyin was helped down by the two maids who got off the car first, and then Xi Que carried Yuanbao down from the car.

Looking at the bamboo house in front of her, Lu Yinyin was full of curiosity. She didn't know that such a beautiful house could be built with bamboo.

"Why are there two children?" The villagers who followed whispered to each other.

"Look at the way she's dressed. She must be a young lady from a wealthy family."

"Of course they are. Look at them, they are both plump and white. They must have eaten a lot of good food."

"The child even had a gold collar around his neck, and the material of his clothes was so shiny, I've never seen anything like it."

Seeing that there were people watching, Lu Yinyin felt a little embarrassed. She took her brother's hand and ran to the gate of the courtyard and knocked on the door. "Sister Cheng, Sister Cheng, please open the door quickly. I'm here to play with you."

Cheng Shuang, who was drying medicinal herbs, turned around when she heard the noise. When she heard the familiar voice outside the door, she quickly got up and went to open the door.

As soon as the gate opened, he was stunned to see the person outside, "Yinyin, why are you here? And you brought Yuanbao with you!"

The whole family came out to see, and Wei Qinglang was also surprised, "Miss Lu!"

"Sister Cheng, hello Brother Wei." Lu Yinyin's eyes curved with a smile.

Cheng Shuang looked out and saw that there were quite a lot of people outside. In addition to the villagers watching not far away, there were four young men and four maids standing neatly behind Lu Yinyin, and a coachman standing next to each of the two carriages.

Seeing that the villagers were stretching their necks, Cheng Shuang reached out and pulled Lu Yinyin into the house.

Lu Yinyin turned around and said to the eight servants behind her, "Don't come in, stay away, and stop the carriage somewhere else. Don't get stuck here."

"Yes, ma'am."

Those people responded in unison. This scene scared Cheng Pan and Wei Xinyi, and both of them were a little afraid to step forward.

As soon as the guests entered, Cheng Shuang closed the courtyard door, blocking the view of the villagers outside who were watching the commotion.

"Sister, your house is so beautiful." As soon as Lu Yinyin stepped into the yard, she turned her head curiously to look at the bamboo house.

Yuanbao ran over and looked up at Cheng Shuang, saying that he still remembered her.

Cheng Shuang pinched his chubby face, pulled Lu Yinyin to sit at the table, and asked, "Tell me first, why did you run to the village? Do your parents know?"

"Of course I do."

Lu Yinyin was a little proud and patted her brother's head. "My sister and I begged my mother for several days, and she was so annoyed by us that she let us come."

Cheng Shuang glanced at the white and plump Yuanbao and felt at a loss whether to laugh or cry. No wonder he brought so many people with him.

Now that they are here, let them have some fun in the village.

However, she had to pack medicinal herbs in the afternoon and had no time to play with the children. After thinking about it, she waved to Cheng Pan and Wei Xinyi over.

She said to Lu Yinyin, "These two are my sisters, Cheng Pan and Wei Xinyi. You can go wherever you want and have fun with them."

"Okay, okay." Lu Yinyin nodded repeatedly.

Cheng Shuang then introduced them to her two younger sisters, "This is Lu Yinyin, the daughter of Mr. Lu from the county town, and that is her brother Lu Zhan."

"You can just call him Yuanbao." Lu Yinyin said with a smile, then looked at Cheng Pan, who was about her age, and asked, "How old are you?"

It was Cheng Pan's first time dealing with a wealthy young lady, so he was a little nervous and whispered, "Thirteen years old."

"Well, I'm one year older than you, so you can call me Sister Yinyin." Lu Yinyin was very happy that she was the elder sister.

Cheng Pan was a little shy, but she felt that Lu Yinyin was a very nice person and didn't have the airs of a lady from a wealthy family at all, so she nodded.

Wei Xinyi was bold and looked at Lu Yinyin with a pair of big eyes, "Sister Yinyin, you are so beautiful and dressed so beautifully."

Lu Yinyin looked at her clothes and said, "Do you like it? I'll give it to you."

After saying that, she felt that it was not right, and she could not take off her clothes to give it to him, so she started to pull out the hairpins on her head, "Do you like this hairpin? I'll give it to you, and this bracelet as well."

Cheng Shuang saw her pulling out a hairpin and trying to take off the bracelet on her hand, so she quickly held her hand down.

"Stop, stop, stop, Yinyin, if you're like this, I don't welcome you to my house anymore."

Wei Xinyi was also frightened by her and explained, "I didn't mean to."

Lu Yinyin stuck out her tongue, "I understand, Sister Cheng."

Cheng Shuang knew that she was just generous and had no other intentions, so she smiled and said, "Well, you're here to have fun, right? Let Pan'er and Xinyi take you to visit their home."

The brother and sister were very interested in the bamboo house and excitedly went to visit it. Except for Cheng Shuang and Wei Qinglang's rooms, they visited all other places, and then went outside to visit the vegetable garden, go to the village to see the rice fields, and pick wild flowers.

When the people in the village saw this, no one dared to step forward because the two maids and four big men were following them closely.

When guests come to the house, they have to be entertained. Cheng Shuang is thinking about what to eat for lunch.

There is no need to worry about the servants of the Lu family. As for the brother and sister, there are two fish and more than a pound of ribs at home. We can go to Cheng Lizheng's house to buy a pound of braised meat, and then cook some vegetables. That should be enough.

It was almost time, so Cheng Shuang asked Wei Qinglang to go to the headman's house to buy braised meat. There were no vegetables at home, so she went to Xu Sanpo's house next door to buy some.

Grandma Xu picked a bunch of spinach from the field for her and gave her some green onions, but she refused to take any money, saying that if she didn't have any vegetables at home, she could just pick them directly from her field.

Cheng Shuang tried to force it in but it just didn't work. Although Xu Sanpo was old, she was very strong.

I brought the dishes home and had just finished steaming the rice when Wei Qinglang came back with the meat.

After putting the meat down, Wei Qinglang said, "Grandpa, the village head, said that he and several elders will gather the villagers to the ancestral hall this afternoon to discuss the treatment. Each family must bring at least three people."

Cheng Shuang nodded. It was almost time. She asked, "Does our family have to go there too?"

"I guessed you didn't want to go, so I told the headman that you had to pack medicine that afternoon, and he said we didn't have to go."

Cheng Shuang gave him a thumbs up, "Reliable, I really don't want to go."
