Siheyuan: Chen Xueru helped me intercept Hu Qin Huairu

Chapter 73 I know history, what do I have to lose?

Li Xiuzhu moved for a moment, then continued to pedal, and asked: "How can you tell? Is it obvious?"

Tian Zao's voice sounded faintly behind Li Xiuzhu.

"Maybe because of our experience as orphans, we are more sensitive to others."

"When you first met Sister Hongying, I felt that you were a bit repelled by her."

Li Xiuzhu did not deny it, but just said: "Are you not rejecting it? The first time we met, she was talking for your childhood sweetheart, intending to break us up."

"Do you think I can treat her like this?"

"Besides, I'm a very good judge of people. She will definitely make trouble for me in the future, and she might even want to break us up."

Hearing this, Tian Zao became a little anxious.

"It's impossible. Sister Hongying is not that kind of person. She was just worried that I was too hasty at first."

Li Xiuzhu smiled.

"Oh, we Zao'er are already sloppy. It seems we are making rapid progress."

"Brother Xiuzhu, I'm talking to you seriously, and you still make fun of me."

Li Xiuzhu smiled again when he heard this.

"Then do you want to make a bet?"

Tian Zao was startled and understood what Li Xiuzhu was talking about.

However, she believed in Li Hongying's character very much. After hearing this, she said, "Okay, I made a bet with Brother Xiuzhu. What if Brother Xiuzhu loses?"

Li Xiuzhu said with a smile: "I can't lose, but since you asked, I might as well give you a bonus."

"I bet Li Hongying will definitely persuade you to divorce me."

"If I lose, I will help you with your brother Mei He and his sister."

"I've helped arrange work, marriage and housing, how about it?"

Tian Zao's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he agreed: "Okay, then I'll bet that Sister Hongying won't persuade me to divorce you."

"If I lose, whatever you say will be yours in the future. If you ask me to go east, I will never go west. If you ask me to stick out, I will never lie down."

Li Xiuzhu's face turned dark when he heard this. It was so good, why did he start driving?

The wheels of the truck were pressed against my face.

But it seems good. In the future, if I have the knowledge, I will go to Tian Zao first and lead Chen Xueru with Tian Zao and Qin Huairu.

As for losing?Impossible, a street office will definitely encourage Tian Zao, a concubine, to divorce as soon as the marriage law comes out.

Unless it takes two months to wait for the official answer above, it will actually be available in one and a half months, but the publicity will not be expanded until the end of June.

"Okay, then it's settled."

When Tian Zao heard this, his brows suddenly wrinkled and he said, "Then it's hard to set the time for this bet, right?"

"If it's fixed at a short time, it won't happen. If it's fixed at a long time, Sister Meihe will also be delayed."

Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "What's so difficult about this? Let's act as if you win first. If she really comes to tear us down, you'll lose."

"When the time comes, you have to replenish the money I paid, and the bet has to count. Do you agree?"

Tian Zao then smiled again and said with certainty: "It's a success, but I won't lose."

Haha, you think too much, you won’t lose?You’ll find out next May.

When he got home, Li Xiuzhu slept in the guest room and did not let Tian Zao go.

Early the next morning, Tian Zao came out limping. She had endured too much last night. Although her legs were fine, it was more convenient this way.

Chen Xueru rarely got up early, and she got up with Qin Huairu.

Seeing Tian Zaona and Qin Huairu's synchronized movements, a smile suddenly appeared on their faces.

Tian Zao's face turned red, and then he said with a grimace: "Sister, I can't bear it anymore."

Hearing this, the smile on Chen Xueru's face also fell.

"There's nothing I can do about it, sister. The three of us should carry it first. There's really nothing suitable for us."

"In this way, I will find you another sister as soon as possible. This will definitely be enough."

"Occasionally, there is a rotation, so we can get over it after a while."

Don't think it's unnecessary. Although there are enough people for the time being, we can still hold on.

But what if someone comes to visit with relatives?
It's a pity that I just didn't find the right one.

As she spoke, Chen Xueru suddenly looked aside and her eyes lit up.

"By the way, Huairu, aren't there any good-looking girls waiting to be married in the villages around you?"

Immediately Tian Zao looked over, with expectation in his eyes.

This thing sounds a bit science fiction. Tian Zao never thought that one day she would want to find a younger sister for her man, but now that this happened to her, she now wants to have two more sisters.

Qin Huairu's eyes were blank when they were looking at him, and he didn't understand what was going on.

She was the first one last night, and Li Xiuzhu took pity on her and stopped her, so she didn't feel too deeply.

However, she naturally did not dare not to answer their questions, and said quickly: "Sister, the most beautiful woman to be married near our village is almost like Hongying."

This... should we just make do with it?
As soon as Chen Xueru thought this, she shook her head.

Forget it, wait a little longer, two or three months at most, and there should be news from Aunt Wang.

"Okay, Huairu, you can cook first. Just make some rice porridge."

"There are salted duck eggs and pickled mustard that our man bought on the cupboard."

"Then the pickled mustard is some kind of authentic Wujiang agarwood pickled mustard. It's not the flavor of our capital city, but it's expensive."

Tian Zao said nonchalantly: "Sister, you are just talking nonsense. How valuable can a pickle dumpling be? If you want it, give me ten yuan and I can get you a big vat."

Not only Tian Zao thinks so, but Qin Huairu also thinks so.

Chen Xueru shook her head and smiled.

"Haha, what do you know?"

"Everything is graded."

"This Wujiang agarwood pickled mustard was a royal tribute in the past, but my man said it costs 8 yuan per pound."

"This jar weighs ten pounds, which is 80. Do you think gold is valuable?"

The two of them were numb when they heard it, especially Qin Huairu, whose hand was trembling a little when she touched the mustard jar.

Good guy, I've almost caught up with my betrothal gift. Is this a rich family?
"Sister, my hands are shaking a little."

"Look at your potential, Zao'er, go get it."

Tianzao looked at Chen Xueru with a burdened smile and a flattering smile.

"Sister, my hands are shaking too."

Chen Xueru was numb. She couldn't do any work, so she had to get up and take down the mustard jar.

"Huh, you two are really good at letting me get something."

"Put it on the ground. Don't be afraid of being beaten now."

The two's faces turned red when they were told this, but this thing was too expensive and they really didn't dare to touch it.

Qin Huairu asked at this time: "Sister, this pickled mustard is so expensive, so the salted duck eggs are not cheap either."

Nowadays, eggs cost [-] cents each, and salted eggs cost [-] cents. Naturally, salted duck eggs are definitely more expensive.

"It's okay, 4 cents each."

At this moment, when they heard that salted duck eggs cost [-] cents each, the two of them had an illusion that it was nothing more than that.

Isn't it just half a pound of pork? One pound of pickle dumplings can buy 10 pounds of fat meat.

etc?It seems like 6 cents each, and there must be [-] duck eggs in one pound.

Two dollars and four?Good guy, this is more expensive than meat.

At this time, Li Xiuzhu also woke up, put on clothes and walked out, full of energy and looking more handsome.

Chen Xueru immediately smiled when she saw it, leaned over and said with a smile: "Man, you look better after not seeing me for a day."

But as soon as she finished speaking, Chen Xueru was stunned.

Because this is not a compliment, it is a fact.

It seems that every time her man marries a wife, he becomes more beautiful.

Chen Xueru hesitated for a moment but couldn't help but asked: "Xiuzhu, you must have practiced something evil."

At this time, there were still various evil sects, the most famous of which was the Taoist sect.

Li Xiuzhu's face turned dark when he heard that, and he scolded: "You are talking nonsense, you dare to talk nonsense. I have indeed practiced something, but it is the Huangdi Neijing."

"Is it from the royal family?" Chen Xueru breathed a sigh of relief. As long as it's not evil, royal things are good things.

"Huang Emperor's yellow color has been passed down from ancient times. Don't you think you all have become more beautiful?"

Some things can't be kept hidden all the time. Now that it's mentioned, let's just talk about it.

When Li Xiuzhu said this, Chen Xueru glanced at Qin Huairu and looked at Tian Zao, and Tian Zao also looked at Chen Xueru.

The main reason is that the two of them have known each other for the longest time and are also the most obvious. This really shows the changes in each of them.

"Sister Xueru, you seem to be really prettier than before."

"Zao'er, you look good too."

After Chen Xueru was happy, she suddenly looked at Li Xiuzhu and asked worriedly: "So Xiuzhu, does this have any side effects?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned when he heard this.

Don't say it, there really is.

As soon as she saw Li Xiuzhu's appearance, Chen Xueru knew that he had it, and her heart suddenly lifted.

Li Xiuzhu didn't hide it and said directly: "This is indeed true. Since you asked, Xueru, I will tell you."

"Actually, it's not a big problem. If I want to become more and more beautiful and younger, I might not be able to have children."

"The main thing about practicing Qigong is refining energy and transforming Qi. So if you want to have children, you can't practice it."

"So either you can get pregnant now or you won't be able to get pregnant." (ps: If you don't go to the high end, it's mainly about delaying aging.)
"But pregnancy is a long process. If you really have a child, it will suck your vitality during the pregnancy and make your vitality unstable."

"You may need more time to replenish your energy, and you may even be unable to replenish it for a long time."

"That said, having children may make you older."

The three women were confused for a moment. Isn't this a big problem?
You must know that the three people accept the concept of caring for husbands and raising children.

However, the person Chen Xueru loves most is herself, followed by her relatives. After hearing this, she only hesitated for a while before making a decision.

"Then I won't give birth."

Qin Huairu wanted to give birth to a boy for Li Xiuzhu. She was a patriarchal person and just wanted to continue the lineage of the old Li family.

No boy feels ashamed of the ancestors of the old Li family.

But when she thought about what Li Xiuzhu said about getting older, her will became less firm.

What if her husband and sisters are not old, but she is old and abandoned?
Tian Zao was silent for a while and then said: "Brother, let me give you a son."

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu laughed and shook his head and said, "It doesn't matter whether it's a boy or a girl, or even whether you have one or not. I don't care."

"Actually, I don't really like children. They are too troublesome."

"Of course, if you like it, I respect your choice."

What he said is true, there are nine bears out of ten children, and one is still alive.

So why have children?Are you making trouble with yourself?The previous life was enough.

As for having too many children, it would be even worse. When they grow up, it’s time to go to the mountains and go to the countryside.

If one of them is fine, they can stay in the city. If there are more than one, they have to go to the countryside. Chun Chun has come to the human world to suffer.

The three of them were startled when they heard Li Xiuzhu's words. None of them expected Li Xiuzhu's answer.

But when you think about it, it seems normal. If you don’t need anyone to support you in old age, why do you have children?

Qin Huairu also figured it out.

"Then...I don't want it either."

When Qin Huairu said this, she still carefully looked at Li Xiuzhu and Chen Xueru, for fear that they would be unhappy.

But she was completely overthinking it, and Li Xiuzhu even gave her a smile to reassure her.

After hearing this, Tian Zao thought for a while and was shaken. He changed his words and said, "Then I'll just let it happen. I'll wait two years and see if I get pregnant. If I can't, forget it."

"Row!"

Qin Huairu had already cooked the porridge, and it would be ready soon.

Chen Xueru said to Tian Zao, "Zao'er, go buy some fried dough sticks and steamed buns in the alley."

Although Tian Zao has difficulty moving, Qin Huairu also has difficulty moving. She can't let her, the eldest sister, buy it, right?

It would be a joke if she went out.

Tian Zao nodded and went out.

Chen Xueru continued: "Xiuzhu, take Huairu home today and hand over the gift money."

"I gave the gift to Huai Ru. You can just bring ten catties of pork and twenty catties of white flour."

"Those who buy pork fat can't see oil or water in the countryside."

The reason why he specifically warned Li Xiuzhu was because Chen Xueru found out.

Her husband buys lean meat except pork belly, and rarely buys fat meat.

Lean meat is good to eat at home, but it’s a bit boring to give as gifts.

Li Xiuzhu clicked his tongue when he heard this.

There are a lot of things, and I think there are also a lot of gifts.

But Li Xiuzhu didn't say anything, it was not his money spent.

However, he still refused: "How about we go tomorrow."

As soon as Li Xiuzhu said these words, Qin Huairu was frightened and felt anxious. Fortunately, Li Xiuzhu didn't want to eat up and deny it.

"Today I made an appointment with Brother Yan to look at the wood."

"In addition, I have made an appointment with Dongxu to hold a banquet together. I will wait for him for half the day."

Chen Xueru didn't take it seriously and nodded after hearing this.

"Okay, then take your time."

Qin Huairu was relieved.

After eating, Li Xiuzhu went out with Yan Bugui, who had been waiting impatiently.

"Li Xiuzhu, can I ride your car?"

Li Xiuzhu was stunned. Is there such a good thing?
"Okay, Brother Yan, please take me. Can you ride?"

Hearing this, Yan Bugui said sarcastically: "You don't know it yet, don't you want to learn it? Once you learn it, I will save money to buy one."

oops?Did Yan Bugui want to buy a bicycle so early?I thought I would have to wait for the public-private partnership to save for two years.

"Okay, but Brother Yan, you've never ridden before, so I'll just sit in the back and hold down the seat for you."

"Practice your balance first and don't fall to me again."

Now that we are familiar, there is no difference in seniority, so there is no need to address you.

"Come on, Xiao Li, you are so open-minded, let's go."

Bicycles are not difficult. After Li Xiuzhu pressed Yan Bugui a few times, he found the feeling and started riding.

Yan Bugui was happy to ride a bicycle for the first time, and Li Xiuzhu was also happy.

This saves seven kilometers of exercise.

Liulichang's timber industry is not large, mainly because it has not been merged yet and they are all scattered individual small factories.

The first thing Yan Bugui showed Li Xiuzhu was the golden nanmu.

This golden nanmu has a diameter of 1.2 meters and a length of 5.5 meters. It is 7.1 square meters of material.

Li Xiuzhu asked: "Is this just one? How to sell it?"

The boss was a middle-aged man in his 40s. When he heard this, his eyes lit up and he knew he was interested in buying it. He immediately said: "You have a discerning eye. This is an old material of golden nanmu. If it comes out of my place, all the people in the capital will know it." You may not be able to find such good materials.”

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu looked at Yan Bugui, who immediately understood.

"Let's not talk about those false things. This golden nanmu is not easy to sell now, let alone you. There were two or three stores where I visited yesterday."

"You give us a real price. If it's suitable, we'll buy it. If it's not suitable, we'll make two more trips."

Hearing this, the boss's face changed. He hesitated for a moment and then said, "Okay, just treat me as two friends and sell you for 150 a party."

"This is a 7-square-meter piece of wood. What do you think of 1050?"

However, before Li Xiuzhu could speak, Yan Bugui shook his head.

"How much? I asked about the price of these other two houses. One hundred and twenty is as high as the sky. You don't know what year it is now, do you?"

"If you miss us, your golden nanmu tree will probably not grow in three years."

You must know that now a square pine log only costs 10 yuan, and a fir log only costs 14 yuan. This is really expensive.

Sure enough, the boss hesitated after hearing Yan Bugui's words.

Although ordinary wood can still be sold in the lumber factory, this golden nanmu cannot be sold at all.

The most important thing is that ordinary logs are not easy to sell, and they can be sold for less than five square meters in a month.

It has been three years since this golden nanmu arrived, and it has only been sold to three parties.

It was bought by Mr. Han who was killed a few days ago two years ago.

Thinking again about the existing reserves of golden nanmu in Beijing, the boss gave in.

After thinking about it, he gritted his teeth and drew the bottom line in his heart.

"If you want it, I'll sell it to you for 110. If you can't buy that much, then it'll be 120 for three parties and 130 for one party."

"You two need to know that I also need money to saw wood and labor."

When Li Xiuzhu heard this, he looked at Yan Bugui, who nodded.

These three dollars were not in vain. He was not very good at negotiating prices. This old Yan saved him three or four hundred in a blink of an eye.

This one is made of golden nanmu, and you can save a lot of money in a while.

Only then did Li Xiuzhu speak.

"Okay, I'll take them all, then."

"7 for 770 parties, right."

The boss looked happy when he heard this and nodded quickly.

Since our army entered the city, the precious timber business has been hard to do.

I will never be able to enter again, and I almost smashed it in my hand.

"Yes, it's 770, no problem."

"But how do you plan to deliver this thing? Should we cut it into pieces and deliver it to you, or should you find a car and take it away in its entirety?"

“Let’s make an agreement first, we won’t deliver the whole wood.”

Hearing this, Li Xiuzhu smiled and said, "I'll find a car to pick you up later, so you don't have to worry about it anymore. Here's the money. You can give me a receipt."

As he spoke, Li Xiuzhu took out a wad of money and counted 77 big black tens, which made Yan Bugui unable to take his eyes away.

"Okay, I'll write you a receipt right now."

After taking the boss's receipt, Li Xiuzhu looked at Yan Bugui and continued: "Brother Yan, where are the other two types of wood?"

"Ah? Are you still buying it?"

Li Xiuzhu blinked.

"if not?"

ps: Looking at the comment section, I found that everyone can’t accept not having children. How about arranging one?Or two?You can leave a message in the comment area
