040 Don’t feel bad for the man 5

The night was falling, with only a few scattered stars dotting the sky, and lanterns were hung high between the pillars under the eaves of the Lu Mansion.

At this time, Father Lu rushed back with a moonlight expression and an ugly face.

Seeing his daughter waiting for him in the yard, Father Lu's expression suddenly softened, and he suddenly felt relieved.

As my daughter grows older, she knows how to feel sorry for others.

"Dad was busy and came back late today. It's such a cold day, are you freezing? Just wait in the house from now on," Father Lu handed the cloak to the servant beside him, thought for a while and said

: "By the way, Yue'er, have you had your meal?"

In the afternoon, Mingyue had some snacks. She was not hungry, but she was curious about the fate of the black mole guy.

Mingyue shook her head: "I asked the cook to warm the food, and I'm just waiting for you to come back and eat together!"

Father Lu felt more and more relieved and smiled on his face.

In fact, Father Lu had two concubines around him in the early years, but after he lost two children due to the infighting between the concubines, he dismissed all those women. Now, of the huge Lu family, only

There are two masters of the Lu family, father and daughter.

The Lu family is a businessman's family, and they don't pay much attention to what they say during meals. On weekdays, the father and daughter can still say a few words.

"Dad, is there something wrong with the waiter today?" When she was almost done eating, Mingyue asked with curiosity on her face.

Father Lu really doesn't want his daughter to know these troubles. Anyway, he is still in good health and can live for another twenty or thirty years. In the future, he will find a good son-in-law for his daughter and give birth to a grandson, and then hand over the Lu family to the family.

In the hands of his grandson, his daughter was taken care of, and he could close his eyes with peace of mind.

It doesn't matter if my daughter is innocent and naive. Anyway, with him here now and her grandson here in the future, no one can bully her.

But since his daughter asked about it, Father Lu had nothing to say.

After all, his mother-in-law’s family had learned from the past, and Father Lu sometimes felt that his daughter was still too simple-minded.

Father Lu snorted disdainfully: "There is indeed something wrong with that guy. He is so courageous that he enriches his own pockets behind the back of the shopkeeper, raises the price of goods in private, and even watches other people sell the dishes..."

In his narration, Mingyue finally understood why he came back so late.

It turns out that the price of the black mole depends on the person's dress. If the person who comes into the shop is an ordinary person, he will add one or two cents. If it is a rich lady, he will add one or two cents. He is really a greedy snake.

Swallow the elephant.

However, those who are willing to buy rouge are not fools, especially women from ordinary families. If they find it expensive, they will just buy it from another store. Therefore, Hei Mole has been coming to Rouge Shop for several months, but he has not sold many boxes of rouge.

But Lu's father refused to let the Lu family's reputation be damaged. Today he went to find those who bought the high-priced rouge one by one. He returned all the money paid by the buyers without saying anything, and bluntly said that the shop clerk made a miscalculation.

Sorry, the rouge before is not considered as money, even if it is an apology, it is equivalent to giving away the rouge in vain.

In this way, even if those people later find out that the price they bought at was wrong, they will have an explanation.

Instead, they also advertised the Lu family's shop. After all, no one would be willing to give out all the money they had in their pockets like Father Lu. It was extremely kind.

As for the black mole, everything he did was against the law and he should have to pay compensation and go to jail. However, the shopkeeper begged him because he had a family to support, so Father Lu only tolerated it and fired him.

!

Even seeing Hei Mole's poverty, Lu's father didn't ask him to pay any money. He only said that the Lu family's shops wouldn't want him.

According to this, Father Lu is actually kind to Black Mole.

However, there are many people in this world who repay kindness with hatred.

Mingyue sighed in her heart, these father and daughter were really wronged.

Zhang family.

"No, this is absolutely not okay."

Mrs. Zhang slapped the table hard, causing the teacups placed on it to tremble. She continued angrily: "You haven't married him, Liu Shumin, so why are you turning your elbows away from us?"

The family’s money was used to subsidize his education, but he had the nerve to propose it. It’s really shameful for a scholar.”

Zhang Cuixiu was so embarrassed by what she said, but thinking of Brother Min's words, she summoned up the courage: "Mom, Brother Min didn't bring this up, it was me who took the initiative. Brother Min is a literary star who has descended to earth, and we are supporting him now.

After studying, he will be admitted to the top prize in the future, and he will be more sincere towards our Zhang family, right?"

"Bah!" Mrs. Zhang spat on the ground: "I don't have enough money at home, so I send it to the Liu family. Sincerity? How can sincerity be more important than money? Huan Wen Quxing will really put gold on his face.

, let’s wait until he gets the first prize. Let me tell you, there is no need to discuss this matter.”

Zhang Cuixiu saw that her mother seemed determined not to give her any money, so she couldn't help but look at her father who was sitting by the charcoal fire drinking.

"Dad, would you like to say something?"

Father Zhang took a sip of hot wine and said, "Daughter, our Zhang family is not the Lu family. You should just listen to your mother and forget about spending money on something that is sincere. This business is not worthwhile."

Zhang Cuixiu almost cried after hearing this.

Zhang Cuixiu and Lu Mingyue grew up on the same person's breast. Regardless of appearance or personality, she feels she is never any worse than Lu Mingyue?

But at this moment, she suddenly realized that for Mingyue, she couldn't get enough money to buy a hairpin, even if she begged hard.

Reluctance coiled around Zhang Cuixiu's heart like a poisonous snake, making her jealous and hateful towards Lu Mingyue.

Seeing her parents who didn't care, Zhang Cuixiu couldn't bear the grievance and ran out crying, covering her face.

When Zhang's father and Mrs. Zhang saw this, they didn't take it seriously at all.

After all, money is something that can only be taken from pockets, never given to others.

The Zhang and Liu families were neighbors. Zhang Cuixiu wiped her tears after running out of Zhang's house, turned around, entered the door of Liu's house, and walked straight to Liu Shumin's room.

The Liu family stays indoors all winter. Even if someone sees Zhang Cuixiu coming over, they don't mind. Anyway, everyone knows that the Zhang family is living a good life. If the fifth child can really trap the Zhang girl, the Liu family will be relieved.

Well, at least he doesn't have to worry about the money for his wife.

When Liu Shumin saw Zhang Cuixiu, he was happy at first, but when he saw her red eyes, his happiness turned into sadness!

"Didn't it work?"

Zhang Cuixiu bit her lip and nodded: "Brother Min, my mother disagrees."

Although he had expected it, Liu Shumin was still disappointed.

He had already asked for two taels of silver from his family yesterday, and he would definitely not be able to get it if he asked for it again today, so he took up the idea of ​​the Zhang family. Who knew that the Zhang family was so desperate for money!

Just thinking that after collecting these three taels of silver, he can buy that hairpin, win Miss Lu's heart, and get so much property of the Lu family, Liu Shumin's heart is itching and anxious.

.

But the problem now is that these three or two are missing!

I can't rely on my family, and the Zhang family can't bear to do it.

Liu Shumin closed his eyes and waited for a long time before he could hold back his anger at Zhang Cuixiu.

But when Zhang Cuixiu saw his appearance, she felt very distressed and couldn't help but come up with an idea:

"Brother Min, how about we tell my uncle, aunt, and my parents about this!"
