farm house son-in-law

"Father?" The person outside the door shouted again.

When He Tongxin came out, he saw He Roumei and his wife bringing their two daughters.

"Why are you here at this time?" He Tongxin said after taking He Roumei's second daughter.

"Hey." Wang Tao said and came over with two chickens.

"What's the matter? Are you quarreling again?" Father He asked while sitting in the room.

"No, no, don't quarrel." Wang Tao waved his hands hastily. He had seen He Tongxin kick over a wall, and he had heard his wife say that Lu Chen was furious with the town witch, and even He Roucui was no match for him, so he didn't dare to make trouble.

"Actually, I came here to send some homegrown vegetables and chickens to my parents." Wang Tao said with a smile.

He Tongxin saw that there were still hens, frowned and said, "Your life is hard, why are you still like this?"

"Now I don't need to help at home. I learned embroidery from my third sister, so I can also subsidize some household expenses." He Roumei spoke cleanly and softly.

"Didn't you say that your pork stall doesn't want you anymore?" Father He looked at Wang Tao and said.

Wang Tao said with some embarrassment, "I went to work as a part-time worker for others, and I also earned some money."

"That kind of job is not a long-term job, let's find a pork stall to do it." Father He said disapprovingly.

"Well, I remember." Wang Tao nodded.

Next to him, He Roumei also took out a few pairs of socks and insoles, and said with some embarrassment, "I made it with difficulty, you can keep it and use it."

Lu Chen saw that the stitches were dense and good, and said with a smile, "Then thank you, Second Sister~"

"Don't be on guard, Second Sister is the one who wants to remember your great kindness." He Roumei said that she was about to bow, and He Tongxin hurriedly supported her, saying that she didn't dare.

"You two, come here and kowtow to your uncle and uncle." Wang Tao pointed, and the two little girls came and kowtowed.

"Forget it, forget it, what is this for!" He Tongxin couldn't bear to pull up the two nieces.

"Roumei came home and told me that the money for the signboard was free. I originally wanted to come here immediately, but Roumei said that she was so dishonest, so it was a few days late." Wang Tao looked at Lu Chen a little shy and embarrassed.

"It's okay, it's not serious." Lu Chen said with a smile.

"Yes, yes." Wang Tao answered quickly.

Seeing the scene like this, Father He casually asked about the situation at home.

Wang Tao answered, their family will be divided, and the elder brother and the second brother will also be divided, and his father and mother will be angry, especially when they see that they want to divide the family, the eldest son and the second son can't wait to throw the old couple into the pit, which is even more chilling .

"It's really..." Father He wanted to say that the Wang family is no good, but he didn't say anything because he thought about his own family's situation.

"It's the same with the eldest brother and the second brother. We can divide the family well, and the soft dowry has also been brought back. Although there is no pork stall, the four of us do not spend a lot of money. It is much easier than before." Wang Tao originally I still feel a little sad and guilty about the separation, but now that I'm living my own life, I lament that I didn't know how to survive before.

"It's so good." Father He glanced at him and asked again, "How are you preparing the money for the purchase?"

When asked about this, Wang Tao hurriedly said, "I borrowed some, but it's barely enough."

Father He nodded and said, "It's really not possible, I'll give you another two taels, don't work hard and ruin your body."

Wang Tao and his wife hurriedly said no, they had already taken advantage of it after all.

Seeing that they were interested, Father He smiled and said, "Just bear with it and the days will pass."

Wang Tao nodded, said a few more words, and was about to leave, unwilling to stay for dinner.

He Tongxin stuffed half a catty of wild meat and brought them back.

"I'm afraid I borrowed a lot." After Wang Tao and his wife left, Father He said with a sad expression.

"It's enough to earn it back." Lu Chen said in a natural tone.

Old Man He shook his head and said, "You haven't passed Shang, son, that's a life-and-death job."

Lu Chen also knows that it is really difficult to go to business. In winter, one has to carry goods across the mountains and walks, and one has to beware of stealing and robbing, and it is not easy to make money by buying goods, but if you can win the same goods, you don’t have to worry about it for a few years. up.

"Since that's the case, it's even more important to prepare." Lu Chen glanced at He Tongxin and said, "I'm planning to go to the county with Tongxin, stay a little longer, dad, you should also be careful with your family."

"What? They dare to come to the door?" Father He said with a stare.

"Be careful, Dad." He Tongxin followed suit.

"Okay, got it, let's get ready to eat." Father He nodded to let him eat.

During the meal, Mrs. Ji asked He Roumei's family what they were doing here, Father He briefly said, Mrs. Ji paused for a while and said, "Comparing this way, it is true that her family has taken advantage of it. Although the third girl is capable, but the He family That family can't do it, and it's difficult for her alone."

As soon as she said this, everyone understood.

He Tongxin interjected, "I asked Third Sister, and she said that she has money in hand, so there is no need to do this."

"When did you ask? Why didn't I hear what your third sister said?" Ji glanced at He Tongxin and said.

"You can lie to you here if you mean the same thing?" Father He said with a sullen face, and Ji's family stopped talking.

He Tongxin and Lu Chen didn't speak, they ate their food with their heads down, and went to the side room.

"Sure enough, we have to build the house quickly." He Tongxin said a little depressed.

Lu Chen smiled, stretched his legs and lay on the bed, flipped through the herbal medicine book and said, "No, let's go back to my yard for a few days."

"Isn't there still Xu Zhengrong? It's not convenient." He Tongxin glanced at Lu Chen and said.

"What do you want to do? You have to carry someone behind your back." Lu Chen sat up and looked at He Tongxin and said.

He Tongxin pursed his lips and smiled without speaking.

There was fire in Lu Chen's eyes, and he said, "Don't hook me there, I still have to read."

"Look, I'll fetch water to wash your feet." He Tongxin said as he went out to fetch water.

When the two of them were washing their feet together, He Tongxin asked in a low voice, "Do you have any idea about the brand? If it doesn't work out, don't mention that you don't have money. You'll be ashamed if you lose face."

Lu Chen laughed and said, "If there is such a time, I will take you far away, and when I earn enough money, I will return home~"

"I'm telling you the truth." He Tongxin said helplessly.

"The serious thing is, don't worry, money can turn ghosts around." Lu Chen smiled and said, "I don't think your big nephew knows that there are goods in it, but he knows that the wood used to make wooden dolls is valuable. "

"Then if he finds out..." He Tongxin felt a little chill when he thought about it.

"So I have to hurry to the county to sell the goods, and I also want to know why the price of this broken wood has suddenly increased so much." Lu Chen said with a frown.

He Tongxin nodded, and suddenly laughed again.

"What?" Lu Chen asked suspiciously.

"No, I just remembered that this is the first time I've gone to the county seat when I grow up." With joy and shyness in his eyes, He Tongxin reached out to hold Lu Chen's hand and said, "And I'm still with you."

"I went there when I was a child." Lu Chen said with a smile, "In that case, let's have fun in the county, and I plan to find a restaurant to stay overnight." Lu Chen said and stepped on He Tongxin's foot.

He Tongxin said with a hot face, "How expensive that is."

"Fool, will we be short of money if we go?" Lu Chen said pointedly.

"It would be great if we can get it safely and smoothly." He Tongxin was still very worried. ""

Lu Chen looked at He Tongxin displeasedly and said, "You are so good at fighting, why are you worried about this?"

After hearing this, He Tongxin laughed and said, "Then I don't care, I will hit whoever you tell me to hit."

Lu Chen praised him for being good, and the two packed up and went to sleep.

In the early morning of the second day, He Tongxin was packing his things at home when he heard the sound of horseshoes outside.

He Tongxin was taken aback, thinking that Zhang Shengxiang had come to look for trouble, and hurried out.

When he went out to have a look, he saw a clean and plain carriage parked outside the door. A handsome young man with a bit of a smirk got on and off the carriage, wasn't it Lu Chen?

"Brother Shen, this is...?" He Tongxin looked at the big horse with excitement in his eyes.

"I rented it, not counting fodder or anything, it's a total of five renminbi." Lu Chen said with a proud smile.

"It's too expensive, you can find a donkey cart." He Tongxin said so, and went over to touch the big horse.

Although the carriage was a bit dilapidated and the horse was a bit old, it still made He Tongxin very happy.

"And got a horse?" Father He also came out to look, with a smile on his face.

"Well, I plan to buy more things in the county." Lu Chen said, pulling He Tongxin out of the carriage.

"I'm going to get fodder for the horse." He Tongxin entered the house excitedly and went to find fodder for the horse.

"This kid just likes horses!" Father He shook his head and said with a smile.

Lu Chen nodded, and the neighbors next door heard that Lu Chen was going to the county seat, and they all envied and praised, saying that the He family is blessed.

After chatting for a few words, Lu Chen went into the house to pack up his things, and took He Tongxin into the carriage.

He Tongxin sat inside, and after a while, Lu Chen simply asked him to sit next to him and drive the horse away together.

"People will laugh at us country bumpkins. We managed to get in the carriage, but both of us stayed in the driver's seat." Lu Chen shook his whip as he spoke, and the horse turned around by itself.

"So smart!" He Tongxin couldn't help admiring.

Lu Chen reached out and pinched He Tongxin's face and said, "You didn't listen to what I told you, did you?!"

He Tongxin hurriedly said with an apologetic smile, and then asked, "Are you planning to go back to Lujiacun first?"

"Well, let's see if that guy has escaped first." Lu Chen nodded and said.

"Probably not." He Tongxin said with some worry.

But when the two arrived at Lu Chen's house, they found that the door was locked.

"Why is he like this!" He Tongxin jumped out of the carriage angrily, and shouted.

"Don't worry, just ask." Lu Chen went to the neighbor's house and asked.

When Lu Chen came out, he looked at He Tongxin in bewilderment and said, "It seems that Xu Zhengrong went to pick wild vegetables with some aunts in the village."

"Ah?" He Tongxin was also shocked.

"I heard from the neighbors that he seems to get along very well with the aunts." Lu Chen thought it was strange for a son of a rich family to be with the aunts in the village.

"It's good to go out and relax." He Tongxin breathed a sigh of relief.

"I think it's just for fun." Lu Chen said and opened the door.He left a note for Xu Zhengrong when he entered the house, telling him to be careful about the door, etc., and when he came out, he watched He Tongxin squat in the chicken coop to show the chickens that he came in a carriage or something.

"No wonder Xu Feifei would laugh at you." Lu Chen went over and pulled He Tongxin up and got into the carriage.

He Tongxin was so happy that he didn't care about anything, he just smirked and went to the county seat in the carriage.
