Quick Wear: Inferiority is the best dowry for men

Family matters are the most discussed topic among these women washing clothes by the river. What they discussed most recently is: the fool who was picked up by Dr. He's daughter.

"I really don't know how someone like this could dare to bring it home."

"Doctor He is just too soft-hearted. This family has an extra mouth to feed for nothing."

"I'm afraid his daughter has fallen in love with that guy. That fool looks really handsome."

"What's the use of being handsome? Can it be used to make a living? In the end, he's still a fool."

In between washing clothes, they were talking to each other and no one noticed He Sheng and Lu Xian passing by behind them.

He Sheng naturally heard these words, but it didn't matter.

If you knew how much money he had on him, you would envy me. ╮(￣▽￣)╭

I don't know when the topic of this group of women changed.

"Speaking of which, why is that Li Cuizhi missing?"

Li Cuizhi is Aunt Li’s real name.

"Yeah, it's been more than half a month and I haven't seen her come to do the laundry. Is there something wrong at home?"

"No way, his son hangs out outside every day, it doesn't look like anything happened at home."

"Yeah, I know. I heard that Li Cuizhi was sold by her son."

"Sold it?! This is his mother!"

"Hush - I heard about it too. Old Sun from the next village said he saw her working at Huichuntang and saw the guys there beating her. She must have been sold to Huichuntang."

"Can't we go there to work?"

"Tsk, how can that be possible? He won't be away from home for half a month because of work. Even if he sells it, will Li Ping agree if he knows his mother is working outside? He's so angry, who will cook for the two grown men at home?"

“Did you really sell it?”

"Nine times out of ten."

The women shuddered, all knowing that Li Ping was a worthless person, but they didn't expect him to be so worthless that he even dared to sell his mother. It was a waste of time to raise him for so many years, and it was a pity that Li Cuizhi treasured him so much.

"Alright, alright, hurry up and do the laundry."

"I'm leaving now and going back to cook."

"I'm leaving first too."

In a blink of an eye, there were only a few women left who had gathered together.

He Sheng and Lu Xian were fishing upstream in the river and heard some of these words.

Lu Xian didn't understand, and he didn't ask. He just wanted to learn how to catch fish like He Sheng, but not only did he fail to catch anything, he also got splashed with water.

He Sheng catches fish frequently and has experience. She is quick-eyed and quick-handed and grabs a passing fish with both hands. The fish comes out of the water and tumbles in He Sheng's hands, splashing water all over her face.

Throwing the fish into the bamboo basket, thinking about what he just heard, he muttered, "Li Ping is such a piece of shit."

"Things? What things?" Lu Xian asked her. He only heard the last few words.

"There's nothing here, just catch some fish."

Lu Xian stood back in the position He Sheng had arranged for her and stared at the water again.

He Sheng caught another fish to cover the bamboo basket, "Okay, let's go, let's go home and eat fish!"

Lu Xian woke up as if from a dream, "It's over? All the captures?"

"Yes, let's go home."

"Great, let's go home!" Lu Xian jumped up and cheered, but when he landed, he slipped and fell into the water because his feet were wet.

The clothes that were already almost wet were now completely soaked.

He Sheng dragged him out of the water and said, "Why don't you just watch from the riverside next time."

I have to do laundry again. It's annoying. I'll deduct money from my account!

Lu Xian coughed up water, "Cough cough cough, no, no, I want to be with my sister!" After saying that, he smiled naively.

He Sheng turned his head away and couldn't bear to look at it. With this face and this expression, no matter how handsome he was, he couldn't control it.

She raised her hand to cover his mouth, "Stop laughing and go home quickly."

"Oh ok." He got up from the ground.

He Sheng walked in front, and Lu Xian caught up with her in small steps, "Sister, I'm hungry."

He Sheng took out a small piece of candied fruit from his pocket and handed it to him, "Eat it for a while, we'll be back soon."

Anyway, he would ask her for food whenever he was hungry, so He Sheng simply bought a bunch of candied fruits when he went to town (using his own money) and always carried a few pieces with him.

"Delicious." Lu Xian smiled happily, and then passed the candied fruit he had taken a bite of to He Sheng's mouth, "Sister, have some too."

He Sheng stepped back and pushed his hand away. "Thank you, Lu Xian, but I don't want to eat it. You can eat it yourself. Sister is not hungry."

"Okay." He ate the candied fruit bite by bite.

He Sheng counted the days on her fingers. It had been almost a month. How come his father hadn’t noticed his son was missing? Hadn’t he been found yet?! She didn’t want to raise him anymore!

-

A group of traveling merchants suddenly came to Ningchang Village. They were said to be going to the capital to sell goods and passed by here.

Everyone in the village gathered to watch this group of outsiders. The children were especially excited because these peddlers would give them cakes and pastries to eat!

Itinerant merchants going to the capital are different. They can distribute such exquisitely shaped and expensive cakes to all the children.

He Sheng, who was on his way home, naturally saw it as well, but Lu Xian was in a mess, so he had to go back and take him to change clothes. As for the pastries... forget it, he didn't need them.

"Luxian, hurry up, your clothes are wet, don't dawdle, you have a cold and need to take medicine!"

"No! Don't take the medicine! I'm leaving quickly, leaving." Lu Xian hated taking medicine the most in his life. When he first woke up, He Lu made him drink tonic for a long time. He would throw a tantrum every day and try to avoid drinking it.

Finally, he had no choice but to succumb to He Sheng's fist and forcefully gulp the drink down while pinching his nose.

He didn't want to have such an experience again.

Of course, the traveling merchants were not real traveling merchants. The disappearance of the prince was a big deal! After His Majesty found out that it was his younger brother, Prince An, who was responsible, he immediately executed his men and ordered Prince An to guard the imperial mausoleum and never leave.

The army that Prince An had been preparing for many years was destroyed overnight. He had expected everything but never expected that the Emperor would be able to find him based on a mask that was accidentally dropped by an assassin.

The next step was to look for the whereabouts of the prince. Not long ago, they found the cliff where the prince was injured based on the traces, and the prince's sword was left on the cliff.

Based on this information, they split into several groups and disguised themselves as traveling merchants to inquire in nearby villages, hoping that someone there must have seen the prince.

I just hope that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is still alive, otherwise all of them will have to be buried with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

The team that came to Ningchang Village consisted of five people. All five of them were skilled in martial arts and were not afraid of the people from these small villages robbing their things.

Lu Xiang was the team leader. When the villagers surrounded them, they gave them some benefits according to the plan to facilitate subsequent inquiries.

It is most convenient to give it to children, who are easy to bribe and have no ulterior motives. Adults, on the other hand, may take advantage of the situation to rob.

Lu Xiang squatted down and gave the kid a cake. "Can I ask you a question? If you answer it, I'll give you a piece."

"real?!"

"real."

"If you ask, I'll tell you everything I know!" the child promised, patting his chest.

“Are there any good-looking people in your village?”

The child licked the pastry crumbs from the corner of his mouth, "Sister He Sheng is beautiful, she is the prettiest in our village! I want to marry her in the future!"

"Men, are there any good-looking men?" Lu Xiang asked in a different way.
