farm house son-in-law

Chapter 38. Chapter 38

After hearing this, He Tongxin glanced at Lu Chen with some confusion.

"Speak." Lu Chen entered the room carrying the meatloaf.

"Don't mention it, it's really bad luck." He Tongxin sat down helplessly and said, "Everyone fell down, not a single mu stood!"

Lu Chen's heart twitched when he heard this, and he handed He Tongxin the meatloaf and said, "Do you want to recite it like this?"

He Tongxin nodded with a sigh.

"Okay, the big deal is to earn more money, but I can't do it myself." Lu Chen thought that the corn waists of the eight acres of land would be broken.

"That won't work. I'm only earning such a small amount of money. If I hire someone else, I'll plant it for others." He Tongxin shook his head and refused.

Lu Chen pushed He Tong and said angrily, "You're disobedient again, aren't you?"

He Tongxin said in embarrassment, "It's okay, I'm very capable!"

"That's not okay, I feel bad." Lu Chen got up and brought over the soup and rice.

He Tongxin took a bite and said, "I'll go wash up."

"Burn some hot water, and after washing, go to the town to buy new clothes for you." Lu Chen said casually, when he heard the sound of water being poured under the shed outside.

After Lu Chen went out, he saw He Tongxin pouring water on himself with a bucket.

It's already autumn, and it's just rained, the air is still a bit chilly, but seeing He Tongxin wash himself with his clothes wrapped around his waist, he feels quite refreshed.

"The lines are getting harder and harder." Lu Chen walked over and saw He Tongxin carefully tidying up his stubble with his face sideways.

"I'll wash your hair for you." Lu Chen asked He Tongxin to sit with his head bowed and helped him wash his hair.

"How is it?" He Tongxin was wrapped in a loose robe, his wheat-colored skin matched with his tougher and deeper facial features, making him look even more handsome.

"Compared to the silly look when we first met, he is more and more manly now." Lu Chen whistled as he spoke.

He Tongxin lifted his chin triumphantly after hearing what Lu Chen said, and blew a kiss to Lu Chen.

"What medicine did you take today? It's so energetic." Lu Chen asked with a smile.

"People outside laughed at me, saying that I'm not good enough for you." He Tongxin entered the room, took Lu Chen's clean clothes and put them on, which were more suitable than Lu Chen's.

"What do you want to do with them, as long as I like it." Lu Chen also tidied up himself. Compared with He Tongxin, he has more handsome features and a more outstanding demeanor, and he looks clean and handsome in civilian clothes.

He Tongxin watched intently, Lu Chen put his shoulders on him, locked the door and said, "Let's go to town."

It just rained and walked along the road, but when I arrived at the town, I still had a lot of mud on my body.

"Brother Lu is here!" Uncle Li, who sells cakes, was waiting at the street corner, and he was very excited when he saw Lu Chen.

"Uncle Li. You're inferior!" He Tongxin reminded him speechlessly.

"Hey, if he does a good job for my store, I can call him brother." Uncle Li eagerly led Lu Chen to the store.

Lu Chen looked around. This street is full of businesses. Uncle Li's shop is very narrow and located at the back, but there are many people queuing up just after it opened.

"It's hot, Uncle Li." Lu Chen entered the room and said with a smile.

"Hey, it's all thanks to you!" Uncle Li beckoned, and his family brought over a small basket of meatloaf.

Lu Chen looked at Uncle Li in surprise and said, "Where are you feeding the pigs?"

"Taste a little less each. Come, eat with Tongxin." Uncle Li was very enthusiastic, and He Tongxin sat down with Lu Chen and ate for a while.

"Don't look at it, go do your work, I can't eat it even if I look at it." Lu Chen chased Uncle Li away.

"Is that okay? Don't be a blind cat and a dead mouse last time, and come here to cheat and drink now." Uncle Li's heart ached when she saw how He Tongxin was eating the two of them.

"Don't fucking talk nonsense, without him, how many little fortune trees would you have?" Uncle Li said as he watched the pot of new-flavored meatloaf be sold out.

Uncle Li stopped talking, He Tongxin over there had such a good ear, he quietly taught Lu Chen a lesson.

"Forget that he can talk." Lu Chen wiped his hands and called Uncle Li over.

"How is it?" Uncle Li looked forward with nervousness and excitement.

"Not as outstanding as the previous ones, but these two or three flavors can still be sold." Lu Chen said it casually, but Uncle Li remembered it dead, looked at Lu Chen and said, "No more money this time?"

Lu Chen shook his head with a smile. He didn't want to make himself too dazed. Among the cakes he pointed out to Uncle Li, there was one cake that rose very flat.

"Ready to eat?" Aunt Li came over and took away the basket, as if she was afraid that Lu and Chen would take away the rest of the cakes.

"Then Uncle Li, let's go over there, and we'll eat at the store next time." Lu Chen said as he led He Tongxin away, and Uncle Li hurriedly brought several sets of cakes to the two of them.

Seeing that Aunt Li was so angry, Lu Chen accepted it with a smile.

"What's the point of accepting it? His mother-in-law said it badly. This will only make her laugh at us." He Tongxin said a little unhappy. After all, Lu Chen's advice cannot be offset by a few sets of cakes.

"Just treat it as a good deed, and just don't come here again." Lu Chen looked around with a smile, and found that the prices of the things sold in this street didn't fluctuate much, and everyone who sold them knew that there was nothing to do. I missed it.

"Hey, where are you going, you stinky beggar!" Just as he was walking, he saw a two-story wooden building in front of him. A young waiter in front of the door stretched out his hand and pushed down a blind old beggar.

The old beggar let out a cry of pain, and groped on the ground to find his broken bowl.

"Smelly thing, get out of here! Don't dirty the floor!" The young man was wearing a brand-new robe, and he was very arrogant, and he was not afraid to kick the old beggar if he saw people looking at him.

"Crack." A stone hit, causing the little girl to kneel on the ground with a cry of pain.

Lu Chen smiled and went to help the old beggar.

The shop waiter got up and was about to scold, when a carriage came in front of the door.

"Tonggui, shut up." A man's voice came.

"Ouch, the third son-in-law is here!" The waiter came over flatteringly and lifted the curtain of the car.

A young man in silver-gray brocade clothes got out of the car, he looked around with some disdain, and finally fell on Mrs. Lu Chen who was helping the old beggar to get up.

"Hey, isn't this uncle? Why are you free today and want to visit this store?" The man in the silver-gray brocade suit walked over and shouted.

After hearing this, He Tongxin turned his head to look at the man. His face was narrow and white, with a pair of slender eyes, and a mole at the corner of his mouth. When he smiled, he gave the impression that a businessman was trying to calculate others.

"Shengxiang? You... this is?" He Tongxin was also a little dazed when he saw the eldest nephew. He remembered that Zhang Shengxiang didn't have such money.

"Oh, my father-in-law opened an antique shop here and asked me to take care of it. I didn't expect to meet my uncle. Is this uncle going to buy some antiques?" Zhang Shengxiang spoke with a smile, but his words and expressions were full of pride and Disdain.

"No, I'm just passing by. I don't know what kind of antiques I want to buy." He Tongxin waved his hand and said.

"I don't think you can afford it?!" The waiter in the shop, Xinggui, said coldly.

He Tongxin froze for a moment, then glanced at Zhang Shengxiang.

"Hey, what are you talking about! With my nephew here, it can still be cheaper for uncle." Zhang Shengxiang said with a smile.

That Xinggui is also good at acting, and said with a sneer, "I'm afraid I won't be able to afford it if I give it to my relatives!"

Zhang Shengxiang smiled and cursed, "You monkey mouth, don't laugh at my uncle, he is a farmer, and he has never seen such things."

"You two are husband and wife? You flirt in broad daylight. Haven't you seen people like us before?" Lu Chen raised his voice, and the people beside him laughed when he said it.

Zhang Shengxiang glanced coldly at Lu Chen in embarrassment and annoyance, and said, "I'm so poor, I just have a broken mouth! If you have the ability to go in and check the price, it's a lot of insight!"

"Hey, forget it, third son-in-law, aren't you making it difficult for us to serve people? What kind of shop are we? If this muddy leg goes in, I'm afraid I won't be able to drink tea!" Xinggui also yelled.

Lu Chen looked at Zhang Shengxiang, and Zhang Shengxiang looked at him, provocative and disdainful.

"Forget it, let's go!" He Tongxin angrily pulled Lu Chen to leave.

"Don't, it happens that there is a urinal at home, let's see if there is any suitable one in this dilapidated shop?" Lu Chen said with a smile, and pulled He Tongxin to go inside.

"Hey, you have to show the silver before you can enter the door!" Xing Gui arrogantly stretched out his hand to block the door, preventing the two of them from entering.

"How much? Tell me the number, sir, listen." Lu Chen sneered.

Xinggui glanced at the two of them, Zhang Shengxiang gestured behind him, and Xinggui shouted, "Don't go in without ten taels!"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows, Zhang Shengxiang didn't say what he had prepared later, Lu Chen took the money bag and opened it, revealing more than 22 taels of silver inside.

Xinggui was taken aback, Lu Chen put away the purse, turned it in his hand, slapped Shenggui on the face and scolded, "You dog slave, bring me some good tea from your poor shop!"

"You!" Xinggui was annoyed at being smashed, but Zhang Shengxiang changed his mind and said with a smile, "Everyone who comes is a guest, let me show my uncle around!"

How could Lu Chen pay attention to him, and walked into the shop early.

"Third uncle..." Xinggui looked at Zhang Shengxiang pitifully.

"Don't be as knowledgeable as him, you're a country bumpkin. Look at my uncle, I cheated him of all his money. Let him buy some goods and go back. It's serious." Zhang Shengxiang finished speaking in a low voice, and walked away with a small smile on his face. went in.

As soon as Lu Chen inside went in, he saw all kinds of exquisite and small ornaments, and the cheap ones cost two or two, but the abacus in his ear let him see that the prices of the goods here were too high.

"Look at this, it's big, it can last for half a month!" Lu Chen said loudly on purpose, walked up to a huge vase and shouted.

"This is what we put..." Xiaoer, who was in charge of taking care of customers in the store, rushed over, but Zhang Shengxiang stopped him with a look.

"Uncle likes this? You really have a good eye. This pair originally sold for ten taels, but I can give it to my uncle for three taels." Zhang Shengxiang said with a smile.

"So cheap?" Lu Chen exclaimed, but let go of the vase and walked to a row of shelves, picked up one at random and yelled, putting all other people's things on the farm furniture, special bumpkins.

"It's really..." A customer next to him couldn't bear to shake his sleeves and left, ruining several orders.However, Lu Chen still only bought them and liked them all, but after Zhang Shengxiang introduced them all, he went to see new ones.

Zhang Shengxiang's mouth was dry, and he delayed several orders in the store, and the eyes of those soliciting customers changed when they looked at him.

Zhang Shengxiang gritted his teeth and forcibly took away the things in Lu Chen's hands, and said provocatively, "Uncle, don't come here to support your face. There are so many good things, uncle won't buy any of them?"

Lu Chen glanced at him and said with a smile, "What? You have to buy the same when you enter this store? Otherwise, it won't work?"

After Lu Chen finished speaking, the people who had just come in to watch turned around and left.

"You...!" Zhang Shengxiang originally wanted to deceive Lu Chen's money, but now the store has lost a lot of money.

"Okay, look at your good-for-nothing appearance, you can tell at a glance that you are not good at doing business." Lu Chen walked towards a row of red wooden dolls, took one up and said, "Uncle, I have pity on you, buy a doll and go back Bar."

Zhang Shengxiang glanced at the doll, it was the cheapest one in the shop.

"I'm sorry uncle, but you have to buy this doll in sets." Zhang Shengxiang said with a wave of his hand and said, "Come on, give my uncle this set of Fu Lu Shou colorful dolls."

"Hey, I want one, I don't want the whole set!" Lu Chen shouted hastily.

"Uncle was joking, this doll was made by a famous craftsman, and it is a good fortune to buy." Zhang Shengxiang added, "And it is the cheapest in the store, uncle can't even afford this, can he? "

"What did you say?" Lu Chen exploded when he heard that.

"I said you can't afford it, poor ghost! I'm afraid the 20 taels is the coffin book for you two? Is it because you dare not spend a single copper coin?" Zhang Shengxiang sarcastically lowered his voice and twisted.

"Shengxiang!" He Tongxin was really angry.

"If you can't afford it, get out of here!" Zhang Shengxiang looked at Lu Chen's angry look, he knew that this kind of country bumpkin who suddenly had money couldn't bear people talking about him like that.

"Okay! Just say this to you, the whole set! I bought it!" Sure enough, Lu Chen waved his hand and said domineeringly.

"Okay, the total is 14 taels of silver. You are a relative, so you can give me 12 taels." The waiter over there is also familiar with it. Needless to say, he sold a doll that was originally [-] yuan a tael to a doll that is almost [-] taels.

"So many? No, no, no!" Although He Tongxin knew that Lu Chen had the ability to judge the price, he waved his hands hastily after hearing the price.

"I'm sorry, it's already wrapped. If you take it apart, I'm afraid the doll will be damaged. You have to pay five taels of money to return it." Xiaoer said confidently with a chuckle.

"You...you!" He Tongxin knew that this was an obvious attempt to blackmail him.

"That's cruel enough, big nephew." Lu Chen sneered and took the doll.

"It's not as good as my uncle's vision. Bringing this doll back will definitely add luster to my uncle's dilapidated house." Zhang Shengxiang couldn't help laughing when he thought about it.

Lu Chen glared at Zhang Shengxiang viciously, and dragged He Tongxin away as if he knew he had been cheated and wanted to save face.

Inside, Zhang Shengxiang was surrounded by several juniors praising his ability to do business, while outside, Lu Chen left the shop with He Tongxin in shame.

"Even if you can make some money, then you've given him too much! You're making money for nothing!" He Tongxin would be so angry at Zhang Shengxiang, he just wanted not to give him a single coin!

Lu Chen circled around, found a place where no one was around, grabbed He Tongxin and said in a low voice, "Damn! You are so loyal, you have found such a good baby for us for nothing, a doll worth twelve taels is all that Sold it to us!"
