When Yan Lu heard this, his eyes widened: "What did you say?"
Aunt Luo was shocked by his appearance. He exerted so much force that the veins on his forehead were all visible, as if he was trying to eat someone.
Aunt Luo gritted her teeth and continued: "Today I wanted to persuade Grandma Yang's family to transfer the store quickly, and then recommend to her that you are willing to buy it, but I didn't expect that she had already sold it out. Master Yan, I really don't know
ah."
Yan Lu slammed the table with his palm, which made Aunt Luo tremble in fright. The shock caused her buttocks to hurt because of the force, and the way he grinned was really ugly.
After Yan Lu calmed down for a while, he stared at Aunt Luo fiercely: "We have been planning this for half a year. At the beginning, you vowed that you would help me get this store at the lowest price. Now you tell me that someone got there first.
Already?"
Aunt Luo swallowed in fear. She had no choice but to give her one hundred taels of silver when Yan Lu promised her to do something for him.
After all, she had worked hard for more than half a year, so she smiled cautiously: "Master Yan, there is nothing I can do about the house, but I have been busy for you for the past six months and spent too much effort on it. You
Look at that money... I don’t want all of it, just give half of it.”
After saying that, she smiled flatteringly at Yan Lu.
Hearing this, Yan Lu laughed loudly as if he had heard something funny, which made Taoist Luo's heart skip a beat.
"You still want money? You can't handle such a thing." Yan Lu smiled grimly: "Aunt Luo, if you can't get the house deed back, I will throw you into the well and drown you for real. I keep my word."
"Someone throw her out."
Aunt Luo was horrified: "Master Yan, please spare your life, I don't want any more money, Master Yan!"
No matter how she struggled and shouted, Yan Lu remained unmoved.
He had a gloomy face. He couldn't win over that little peasant girl, and he couldn't win over a bluffing goddess!
The humiliation of being beaten was still vivid in his mind. He closed his eyes slightly to relieve his emotions, waiting for him!

rock village
When An Shuyao and his friends came back, there were only Lu Jin and An Hao at home.
An Hao sat on a small stool, holding snow-white pear blossoms in his arms, and watched eagerly as Lu Jin made a fire to cook.
Lu Jin had cooked somewhere, but none of them came back. An Hao was hungry again, so he could only follow An Shuyao's cooking steps.
The rice was at least cooked, so he clumsily chopped vegetables on the cutting board, and finally cut a carrot, and An Shuyao came back.
An Hao's eyes lit up: "Little aunt! Little uncle!"
Lu Jin raised his eyes and saw An Shuyao coming back. He breathed a sigh of relief and wiped his hands with a clean dry towel. An Shuyao looked around: "Where are my fourth brother and Yu Xue?"
"I went out this morning and didn't come back."
In the morning, An Yunrui took Liu Yuxue out because of matters at Li Xiucai's house. But it's been a day, why haven't you come back yet?
An Shuyao turned his head and looked at An Jingzhou: "Brother Qi, go to the Li family in the village and see if it's still there."
An Jingzhou had no choice but to go out again. The village was not big, and the Li family was easy to find. He was not willing to walk around the village. The little girls looked at him like hungry wolves.
An Shuyao walked to the stove and saw that he had cut the carrots crookedly, big and small, very irregularly. She burst out laughing: "I thought someone who knew how to use a knife should have good knife skills."
They’re all pretty good.”
Lu Jin looked at her helplessly. Can killing people be the same as chopping vegetables? What kind of knife skills are there? He just cut it with one knife, just like cutting a watermelon.
An Shuyao put on an apron and took over Lu Jin's vegetable cutting: "Go in and wait for a while, I'll do it."
The weather is getting colder. In addition to drying the peppers, An Shuyao also cuts a jar of minced peppers and soaks them.
Today she wanted to make a hot pot meal. She had all the dishes at home, she just needed to stir-fry the hot pot base. An Shuyao moved very quickly, and the small stove kept the charcoal hot, which was very convenient.
The strong aroma of the hot pot base spread in every corner of the yard. In order to take care of An Hao, An Shuyao cooked a bowl of broth for him alone.
Sitting next to the pot, waiting for An Jingzhou and the others to come back.
An Shuyao told Lu Jin about today's journey: "The Qian family is quite rich. I have three thousand taels of silver to cure Qian Ye. Is this enough money to cover the mountain?"
Looking at An Shuyao's smiling face, he raised his eyebrows slightly: "It's enough for you to pack two."
Mountain tops are not as valuable as fields, but they are large and extensive. Many livestock farmers in Baotou contract a mountain to feed chickens, ducks and geese. Some even plant large areas of fruit trees, and then sell them to make money when the hot season comes.
However, the value of a hill is mostly determined by its size. The surrounding hills are generally owned by wealthy gentry from several surrounding villages.
"And Qian Ye is probably going to attack Shi Huanhuan. Aren't you going to Xiu Mu tomorrow? Find a way to bring her into the city. Once she shows up, will Qian Ye let her go? Qian Ye probably won't come directly to the village to arrest her.
Man, the goal is too big.”
Lu Jin didn't say anything. In the past few days, Shi Huanhuan came to the school more and more frequently. He came at noon and also came in the afternoon after school, intentionally or unintentionally inviting him to a hidden place to enjoy the scenery.
He understood all her intentions clearly, so he also rejected all her invitations. Living alone with a man and a woman in the same place would definitely harm his reputation. He was still a married man. Although it was tempting, Lu Jin didn't want to be in the village.
People are pointing fingers at themselves, but at the same time, An Shuyao cannot be exposed to the turmoil of public opinion.
What a bad idea. Lu Jin only agreed because of her enthusiastic pursuit. In fact, seduction?
Don’t even think about it!
He smiled slightly: "I can tomorrow."
Seeing that he was confident, An Shuyao felt relieved.
By chance, the courtyard door was opened, and An Yunrui and the others came back.
Liu Yuxue was carrying a lot of food and candied haws in her hand. Because she was walking in a hurry, her little face was flushed.
She shook the things in her hands with some joy: "Look what I brought you."
An Shuyao looked around the two of them: "Are you in the county all day today?"
Liu Yuxue nodded sheepishly: "Well, yes, fourth brother said that if you are in a bad mood, go shopping in the county and shopping will make you feel better."
At first glance, she looks like she is imitating An Mu.
When An's mother was unhappy, she began to waste her family. An's father also acted like this and left all the money in the family to An's mother for safekeeping.
An Jingzhou sniffed his nose: "What does it smell like? It's so fragrant?"
"You guys came back just in time." An Shuyao said as he walked in: "I just happened to have dinner."
Liu Yuxue handed the pastries she bought to An Hao. An Hao went to wash his hands, took them and thanked her sweetly: "Thank you, Aunt Yuxue."
A few people sat down, and it was the first time for An Jingzhou to see food eaten around a pot, but it tasted amazing.
He kept putting food in it.
Only when my little sister is at home can she eat delicious food.
