There is a Wangfu wife at home

Chapter 409
Li Jiaoniang raised her eyebrows lightly, "I can't finish eating, feed the monkeys!"

"Hey... feed the monkey?" Li Peiyu felt that she was about to die of anger. She hadn't eaten dinner yet, and Li Jiaoniang actually fed the monkey with food?She snorted angrily, "You prodigal girl! How dare you feed the monkeys with food?"

Luo Cheng, who had been silent all this time, sneered, "She is not from your Li family, she is an undefeated family, what does it have to do with you?"

Li Peiyu looked up and found that he was holding a bloody hatchet in his hand. She was so frightened that she quickly hid behind Mu Xuan.

"You...you...you killed someone?" she trembled.

Mu Xuan also narrowed his eyes, his expression became more alert.

Luo Cheng was too lazy to answer, and turned his head to ignore it.

Li Jiaoniang glanced at Luo Cheng and said with a smile, "Brother Luo Cheng, there seems to be a spring next to the entrance of the cave, I heard the sound of water flowing, go wash the blood on the knife, lest you scare the timid to death , we still have to work hard to bury it.”

"Okay." Luo Cheng raised his lips and smiled, and walked out of the cave with two hatchets in hand.

Mu Xuan's eyes moved to the hem of Luo Cheng's robe, and found that there was some animal fur on it, and he suddenly asked, "Did you kill the beast?"

Wild... Beast?Li Peiyu blinked, didn't she kill someone?

"Killed three pheasants, it's just chicken blood, hehe." Li Jiaoniang didn't bother to explain to them.

Mu Xuan smiled slightly, "So it's a pheasant."

Li Peiyu rolled her eyes at Li Jiaoniang, "Why didn't you tell me earlier? Are you trying to scare me to death?"

Li Jiaoniang gave her a cold look, ignored her, and then went to rub her calf.

I walked the mountain road all day today, and my calves are sore from walking.

When she was in Jinshan Village, she climbed mountains and walked every day. She was as light as a swallow, and her legs never hurt.

Now she spends most of her time riding a horse or a carriage, and rarely goes up the mountain to collect herbs. She is pampered and tired after a day of walking on the mountain road.

It seems that people can't be too idle, as soon as they are free, they will hurt here and there.

Li Jiaoniang didn't speak, but Li Peiyu didn't let her go, walked up to her, and smiled slightly, "Li Jiaoniang, you are really serious, why did you marry a village man? Why didn't you find a rich man?" ?”

"..."

"In order to marry this villager, you still quarreled with grandma and severed ties with your family. What happened?"

"..."

"The villagers couldn't support you, and you actually came to the mountains to collect medicines in exchange for money in a snowy day. Don't you think it's a grievance to live this day?"

"..."

"If you married a rich man, you wouldn't have such a hard life."

Li Peiyu talked about a villager, saying how good she was looking for Mu Xuan.Li Jiaoniang laughed ironically in her heart.

She glanced at Mu Xuan, smiled and said to Li Peiyu, "Li Peiyu, sometimes, money is not everything."

"Money is everything." Li Peiyu said unconvinced.

Li Jiaoniang didn't bother to talk to her, this girl had never suffered, so she wouldn't say that.

Mu Xuan also said at this time, "Ms. Li said that money is not everything. Have you forgotten the hard life of poverty in Jinshan Village?"

Li Jiaoniang said coldly, "You say that money is omnipotent, but that depends on the situation. Sometimes, money is a pile of waste."

"What nonsense are you talking about? Money is never a waste product." Li Peiyu argued unconvinced.

"That was when you hadn't encountered that money is trash!" Li Jiaoniang laughed sarcastically.

Just wait, these two people have their own money here, and when they only have money and nothing to eat, they know that money is waste.

Otherwise, before she and Luo Cheng came, what did they complain about each other?If you have the ability to use money to eliminate disasters!

When Luo Cheng came back, he not only washed the hatchet, but also brought back a bundle of branches and dry grass.

"The wind and snow are getting worse, so let's not go back, shall we? Just spend the night here, and we will go down the mountain at dawn." Luo Cheng put the dead branches and leaves beside Li Jiaoniang, "I found some firewood to light the fire. , you take off your cloak and dry it."

"Okay." Li Jiaoniang nodded and smiled.

The mountain road is rugged, and it is a snowy night, not to mention that the road is not clear, and the road condition is not good. If one slips and rolls into the ravine, it will be a disaster.

Luo Cheng cut the firewood short and set it up, and then took a candle to ignite the dead leaves. After the flames of the leaves rose, the dead branches also caught fire.

Soon, the fire was lit.

With a bigger flame, Luo Cheng blew out the candles and put them away.

Li Jiaoniang took off the cloak that was covering her, and shook it close to the fire to bake.

The fire burned brightly, warming her cloak and her whole being.

Li Peiyu folded her arms with both hands, looking at Li Jiaoniang's fire with envy.

She was so cold, why didn't Mu Xuan build a fire to warm her up?
"Brother Mu, shall we also start a fire?" Li Peiyu tugged on La Muxuan's sleeve and whispered.

Mu Xuan wanted to show off his wealth and make Li Jiaoniang fancy him as a rich man. He took out a dime and handed it to Luo Cheng, "Hey, light me a fire, this is your reward."

That horn of silver is more than one or two taels.

Li Peiyu was surprised, is Mu Xuan so rich?So much money for lighting a fire?

Luo Cheng didn't even look at it, he was busy helping Li Jiaoniang bake the cloak.

Li Jiaoniang's two hands were free to dry.

"This dime is one or two dollars. Just build a fire and get some food." Mu Xuan said again.

Luo Cheng still didn't look at him.

Li Jiaoniang turned around and said with a slight smile, "Didn't you say that money is omnipotent? Why don't you ask Qian to build a fire by himself? Why do you come to ask my brother Luo Cheng? My brother Luo Cheng is busy and didn't see it." ?”

Mu Xuan choked with anger, choking his throat, how dare he underestimate his money?
Unconvinced, he added another dime, "Two yuan is enough for your food for a month."

Li Peiyu was even more surprised. Is Mu Xuan crazy? "Brother Mu, why are you giving so much?"

Mu Xuan gave her a sideways look and signaled her to shut up!Didn't Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng remain indifferent?
They think they have less money, and they are extorting money by raising prices on the ground!

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Oh, you mean, give us a month's food money, and let Brother Luo Cheng help build the fire?"

Mu Xuan handed the money to Li Jiaoniang, "That's right, two or three coins is enough for you to eat for a month."

But Li Jiaoniang laughed, "Then you are mistaken, we can eat more than this amount in a month, we have to eat so much in a day."

Li Peiyu sneered, "Impossible, what are you bragging about!"

Li Jiaoniang smiled, "It's an old saying, don't leave for three days, you should look at it with admiration, understand? We have long been different from before, we are not short of money!"

She talked about what she and Luo Cheng ate every day, "sauce duck, roast chicken, ham, mandarin fish, roe roe meat, there must be fish in the daily dishes, a bowl of bird's nest porridge in the morning..." Li Peiyu was dumbfounded.

Is this Li Jiaoniang eating so well now?Li Peiyu didn't believe it.

Anyway, no one saw it. Is this an open bragging?

"Two, two or three coins a month, how is that enough? Last month we ate fifty taels of money, and it would be fifty taels in silver. So, I want Brother Luo Cheng to build a fire, and get 50 yuan for one month's food money. Let's exchange two pieces of silver." Li Jiaoniang stretched out her hand.

Don't you say that money is everything?Let your money do its thing now.

"50 taels of silver, just build a fire?" Li Peiyu shouted angrily, "You are blackmailing me!"

"What are you talking about so badly? Li Peiyu! It was your young master Mu who took the initiative to find my Brother Luo Cheng. Would Brother Luo Cheng help out? He hasn't nodded yet. Why are you so excited?"

"You..." Li Peiyu gritted her teeth angrily.

Li Jiaoniang asked Luo Cheng with a smile, "Brother Luo Cheng, they offer 50 taels of silver, please help make a fire, would you like to help?"

"Are we short of money?" Luo Cheng raised his eyebrows slightly and looked at her.

"No shortage." Li Jiaoniang shook her head.

"Since there is no shortage of money, why bother with the 50 taels?" Luo Cheng snorted softly, "Also, your cloak hasn't dried yet, so I don't have time to do other things."

"Oh, I got it." Li Jiaoniang replied with a smile, she turned her head, and smiled at Mu Xuan and Li Peiyu, "I'm sorry, brother Luo Cheng said that even if you pay 50 taels of silver, he doesn't have time right now. Busy drying my cloak."

This tone is very loud.

Mu Xuan was annoyed and gradually changed his expression.

But he can't do anything to Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng!

He didn't bring a fire book, and he didn't bring a knife so he couldn't cut firewood. To start a fire, he had to ask Li Jiaoniang and Luo Cheng.

Suppressing his anger, he stepped forward and said, "Anyway, we are all acquaintances, so why not save yourself? Tell me, how much do you want me to pay before you are willing to help?"

"Wait." Luo Cheng said lightly.

Li Peiyu shouted anxiously, "What? Wait? I'm going to freeze to death."

"Shut up!" Mu Xuan glanced at her coldly.

Li Peiyu didn't dare to say any more, so she just stood aside and waited honestly.

Here, after drying Li Jiaoniang's cloak, Luo Cheng dried his own cloak for a while, and then said to Mu Xuan, "According to what you said, the 50 taels of help fee is less than one tael, I don't mind promise."

"It's really eye-opening! How can you say that you don't lack money? Humph, it's obvious that you are short of money!" Li Peiyu sneered coldly.

Hearing this sentence, Luo Cheng sat back down again, and said with a sneer, "Then tell that Qian, tell Qian to light a fire by himself!"

Li Jiaoniang sneered, "Brother Luo Cheng is right, you call money to make fire, isn't money omnipotent?"

"..."

"Oh, by the way, Li Peiyu, just now you disliked my brother Luo Cheng as a villager, and your young master Mu is very powerful, so he must be able to do everything? Why do you want to hire someone who is not as good as him?"

"..."

"If you have the skills, don't bully others. It's dark and freezing outside. Brother Luo Cheng is kind enough to help out, but you don't think the fee is too high? Then you go yourself, and you can save 50 taels of silver. Oh, yes, Li Peiyu, why don't you go, this money will be yours."

These words left Li Peiyu speechless.

Mu Xuan glared at Li Peiyu, "One more word, you go out immediately!"

Li Peiyu shrank her neck in fright, and dared not speak any more.

Mu Xuan took a [-]-guan silver ticket and handed it to Luo Cheng with both hands. His attitude was no longer as arrogant as before, but with humility and pleading, "I've always been quick to give money, isn't Mr. Luo also quick to handle things? "

"Tell the irrelevant people to shut up, but I'm willing to help." Luo Cheng said coldly.

Mu Xuan turned his head and glanced at Li Peiyu fiercely, Li Peiyu shrunk his neck back again.

"Don't worry, no one will talk too much." Mu Xuan said.

Luo Cheng took the money and stuffed it in Li Jiaoniang's hands. He stood up, looked at Mu Xuan and said calmly, "I'm helping you, not because of the money, and I'm not short of money. I just don't want to rest. I just saw people who died of freezing, that would frighten Jiaoniang."

After speaking, he walked out with the hatchet in hand.

Li Peiyu was so angry that her nose was crooked, did she dislike her freezing to death and being an eyesore?
Outrageous!

What fell was only snowflakes without rain, and most of the branches were dry, which could be seen everywhere outside the cave. Luo Cheng only walked a dozen or so steps before he chopped a bunch and came back.

He put half in front of Li Jiaoniang for additional use, and gave the other half to Mu Xuan and the others.

Li Jiaoniang passed a fire stick over, "Light it yourself."

Li Peiyu was furious again, "I agreed to help light the fire? Li Jiaoniang, are you going back on your word?"

Li Jiaoniang smiled and said, "Li Peiyu, you can't even light a fire, can you?"

Li Peiyu murmured, "Who said that? I know better than you!"

"Then you light the fire, your young master Mu pays for it, and you can't do anything?" Li Jiaoniang deliberately angered her.

Mu Xuan has been secretly observing Li Jiaoniang.

He found that this little lady could do everything. She once won a hundred horses from the girls of the Wang family by ordering tea. She also knew medical skills and could play the piano.

She and Li Peiyu are obviously from the same family, so why is she good at everything and Li Peiyu can't?

His eyes moved from Li Jiaoniang's face to Li Peiyu's.

There was obvious disgust and impatience in that look.
