Lu Yueyue sent Gu Qin and others away one by one, and when she closed the courtyard door, the tension in her heart completely relaxed at this moment, and a smile appeared on her face.
Xue Tong saw the smile on Lu Yueyue's face early: "Yueyue, mother is really sick."
"Well, I know, mother, you got sick just in time." She thought that the doctor would come today to expose her lie, but she didn't expect that her mother was really sick, and she was still worried about it, which was what she said last night.
She is worried that Lu Manman is seriously ill, which is completely true. It is simply God helping her.
Xue Tong lowered his eyes. She was sick. Is her daughter so happy?
"I'm just worried about your dad. He went to the mountains to hunt, and why didn't he come back for so long?" Xue Tong was really worried. In the past, Lu Feng also went to the mountains to hunt, but how could it have been so long and she hadn't seen him come back this day?
I was so panicked.
"Then I'll go up the mountain to find daddy." Lu Yueyue said, and her heart suddenly became excited.
Xue Tong was stunned for a moment, and then saw that Lu Yueyue's eyes softened a lot. She must have been overly concerned and misunderstood her daughter. She still cares about her as a mother, otherwise a girl would not propose to go up the mountain: "
How can I let you go up there? You don’t know how dangerous the mountain is. If you are good or bad, how will your mother live in the future?"
"Of course I can't go up the mountain alone." Lu Yueyue thought in her mind, maybe she could go to Gu Heng. Their two families now have an unusual relationship and have a deep friendship. If they go up the mountain together to find Lu Feng, he should not refuse, and Lu Manman would not refuse.
She had no reason to stop her, but she wasn't afraid if Lu Manman stopped her. This would just cement Lu Manman's reputation as unfilial.
Moreover, Lu Manman was injured and would definitely not be able to go up the mountain together. If they really went up the mountain, she would be able to be alone with Gu Heng.
The more she thought about it, the more excited Lu Yueyue became, wishing she could go up the mountain immediately.
Gu Heng, who returned home with Lu Manman, naturally didn't know what Lu Yueyue was thinking. As soon as he put down his backpack, he saw Gu Qin walking towards him.
"Why are you back so late? Go read a book. Mom will do the rest."
"Don't be in a hurry while reading. I have to go to the city again while it's still early." Gu Heng said.
Gu Qin was stunned: "What are you going to do in the city?"
"Auntie, just look at our backpack and you will know." Lu Manman smiled and said while removing the weeds from the backpack, and seven ginseng roots were displayed in an orderly manner.
Gu Qin looked at Lu Manman's backpack, looking at the small radish that was full of roots, and was very confused: "Isn't this the season for eating radish? Besides, this radish is so small, I'm afraid it won't taste good."
"Mom, radish is not this color."
"Yes, the color of radish is obviously whiter."
"Auntie, this is ginseng."
"Ginseng?" Gu Qin was a little unable to react. She looked at Gu Heng and saw him nodding. She immediately took a breath and then quickly looked around. She was relieved when she saw that there was no one around.
Some, she lowered her voice and said: "Is it really ginseng? The valuable kind?"
"Yes, it's valuable." Gu Heng nodded, seeing his mother's eyes wide open, and the smile on her face becoming more and more obvious and brighter. He curled his lips: "But the ginseng is of low age, so I'm afraid it won't be sold.
It’s not a high price, but the quantity is enough, it should be sold for one hundred taels of silver.”
"One hundred taels?"
"Well, it might even go up."
When Gu Qin heard this, she almost lost her balance. She let Lu Manman support her: "Then you go to the city quickly and exchange the ginseng for money. No, there is so much money, I want to go with you."
Gu Heng did not refuse. His mother had suffered all her life. In her last life, all the hardships came to an end, but before she could enjoy the blessings, she was killed by someone...
here we go again!
The smile on Lu Manman's face froze. Didn't we just agree in the field? They coexisted peacefully, but... there was such a hateful look in her eyes that her good mood was gone.
Gu Heng withdrew his gaze: "Then pack up and let's go into the city together."
While Gu Wu was driving the bullock cart, he looked back at the three people in the car. If he remembered correctly, the three of them entered the city yesterday and bought a lot of things. Xu Guihua was very jealous. Why?
He had to go into the city today and even chartered his own oxcart. Why did the Gu Heng family, who had always been thrifty, suddenly look so rich?
"Uncle Gu Wu, I'm really annoying you today. It's rare for you to have a day off, but we still ask you to take us into the city."
"Haha... It's a small thing. The so-called day off is because there are few people coming into the city today. It's not cost-effective to send them alone." Gu Wu said and looked at Gu Heng: "Brother Heng, have you become rich recently?"
"I copied a few books and just exchanged some money."
That's it. Gu Wu nodded when he heard this: "It costs a lot of money to study, and it's hard for you to make money by copying books. If you have money, you should spend it sparingly."
"Well, thank you Uncle Gu for teaching me."
Gu Wu saw that Gu Heng was willing to listen to him and did not dislike him for meddling in his own business. His face suddenly became much kinder: "I will stay at the gate of the city for a while to see if I can bring some people back. You guys should come as early as possible and go back."
I won’t charge you fare for the road.”
"Thank you, Uncle Gu." Gu Heng thanked him.
Gu Qinshi smiled and looked at Gu Wu: "His uncle, thank you for taking care of our brother Heng these years. I know that he often rides in your car and you don't even charge him."
"Brother Heng's achievements are the pride of our Gujia Village."
"hehe……"
There was harmony inside and outside the car. Lu Manman moved slightly, glanced at Gu Heng, and quickly looked away when he looked over. Is Gu Heng promising? Maybe he is a little smart, but he is definitely not a promising person.
After all, if you are really promising, you must have an overall view. Even so, why dig up all the ginseng? Even if you are short of money, it is more cost-effective to keep some and raise them before selling them.
"The way you looked at me just now seemed like you didn't believe that I was a promising person."
Gu Heng's voice rang in his ears.
The laughter in the car froze at this moment.
Lu Manman paused for a moment, and when she saw Gu Heng looking at her and Gu Qin looking at her, she twitched the corners of her lips, believing that Gu Heng would never be able to say the words "progress."
"Brother Heng, why would Manman think you are worthless?" Gu Qin helped Lu Manman speak.
Gu Heng only looked at Lu Manman: "Mom, I want to hear her say it herself."
Gu Qin opened her mouth, looked at Lu Manman and then at Gu Heng. The two of them were looking at each other. It wasn't a big deal, so she simply let the two children make trouble.
Lu Manman's eyelids twitched when she saw that Gu Qin stopped talking and only looked at her. Why did Gu Heng suddenly get angry? He clearly wanted her to say something against her will in front of Gu Qin.
Lu Manman, who was trapped in a dilemma, didn't know that Gu Heng actually didn't want Lu Manman to say anything against her will. He just wanted to test her to see if she was reborn like him.
