Flowers are expensive

Chapter 145
Li Hua felt a little uncomfortable under his scorching gaze, turned around quickly, stroked the rice noodles lightly with bamboo chopsticks and said: "This is between you and Miss Hong, there is no need to tell me. It's so clear, be careful that she won't be happy if she finds out. Girls are pretty petty about emotional matters."

"Are you petty too?" Chang Ming asked softly standing behind her.

"Huh? Hehe..." Lihua laughed dryly, "I'm also a girl, so I'm naturally petty. Just like the man I met before, he kept some things from me, and I left him in a fit of anger By the way, isn’t this just a small device? Hehe…”

Chang Ming was slightly taken aback, lowered his voice and asked, "Have you ever had someone you liked before?"

Lihua held the bamboo chopsticks and thought for a moment, then turned around, and said in the tone of someone who has experienced it: "Oh! Speaking of which, my heart still hurts now! I really love him so much, I love him so much that I am heartbroken." , talking incoherently, I just took out my heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys to him, what a pity... Oh, don't mention it, it's all a sad thing in the past, I don't want to bring it up again! I don't think it will take three to five years Yes, I will never forget him, Brother Chang Ming, I only told you as a friend, you must not tell anyone else, or I will be laughed at!" She still bowed her head as she spoke. Make a tender expression.Apart from the exaggerated expression, she felt that those words came from the depths of her heart, so it wasn't deceiving Chang Ming!

Chang Ming was really stunned, and stared at Li Hua's face for a long time before he said a word: "You... still think about that person?"

"Think!" Lihua said with an expression on my face that I was an honest and good boy.

Chang Ming's eyes dimmed a lot, and he moved his slightly dry lips, revealing an awkward smile.Lihua hurriedly laughed again: "Did my words remind you of sadness? I'm really sorry, I didn't mean it. When I mentioned this, I felt uncomfortable and cried several times. It's hard to forget falling in love with someone, hehehe... So I thought it would be great if you and Miss Hong could spend the full moon!"

"Really?" Chang Ming smiled faintly, a little forcedly.

"Isn't it? You two are really a good match!" Li Hua gave a thumbs up and continued to say with a playful smile.

"Is it a good match? I don't think..." Chang Ming said in a low tone, "Can I ask what the man you met before is hiding from you?" Lihua blinked and smiled: "He, he He is obviously a son of a rich family, but he still pretends to be poor, I think such a man is unreliable and unreliable, so I don't want it."

"Don't girls like rich kids?"

"It's not right, it's not suitable, right?"

"Miss Hong and I are also inappropriate, right? Do you think it's appropriate?"

"Uh... At least Miss Hong didn't lie to you about anything, right? She treats you with sincerity! Money is easy to earn in this world, and sincerity is priceless, so Brother Chang Ming, you have to cherish it! By the way, You just said that you want to come to work, so that's no problem, but you want to help Miss Hong Panjin Sangtang, I'm afraid you won't have time to help me recently, right?"

Chang Ming lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Then I'll come to you after I've finished my work. But Lihua..."

"what's up?"

"You've already left him, stop thinking about it, he's not the only man in this world!" Chang Ming looked at Li Hua affectionately and said.Lihua smiled perfunctorily and said, "I'm forgetting, I'm trying to forget, thank you for your concern, is there anything else? If it's okay, I'm going to take a look at the flower field. Sister Cuiyue has brought people to work Come on, I can't be lazy, can I?"

"Well, I'll go back first." Chang Ming left with a disappointed expression.

Lihua breathed a sigh of relief, glanced at Chang Mingyuan's back, patted her heart and said to herself: "It's so dangerous! Is my luck so good? Brother Chang Ming couldn't be real, right? Then It’s hard to handle! It’s all neighbors in the neighborhood, it’s hard to get along with hurting feelings..."

"Sister Lihua..." Suddenly a small head came in from the edge of the courtyard door and called out sweetly.

Lihua recognized the children in the village, and hurriedly waved and smiled, "Come in and tell me something!"

"Is there a copper coin for talking to you?" the little girl asked childishly. "Yes! As long as you chat with my sister, my sister will give you three copper coins, which is a good deal! And the speech is much better, and my sister will be rewarded!" Li Huabi pointed out three fingers and said with a smile .

"I'm talking to you, can you give it to me?" the little girl asked with her big bright eyes blinking.

"Okay!"

The little girl immediately turned her head and said: "She said yes, let's all go in!" In the blink of an eye, a group of children rushed in, surrounding Lihua to talk to her.Lihua looked up and saw a few women standing not far from the courtyard, presumably they didn't believe such a good thing, so they sent a few children to find out the wind first.

Lihua was also unambiguous, calling the group of children to talk to her in the house one by one, and then each of them gave away three copper coins.As a result, the whole village believed it, and they came to talk to Lihua one after another.

Some clever people have already guessed what Lihua wants to do.Everyone in the village went one by one to get the coins. Even if someone told Lihua about the thief, could the thief tell who told Lihua?It's not possible to retaliate against the whole village, right?So how could those who have long wanted to have a relationship with Lihua and sympathize with her family miss this good opportunity?Being able to hold injustices and win coins, anyone would be willing.

At the end of the day, Lihua really collected a lot of useful information.Although it is still uncertain who did it, Lihua already has a suspect target.

In the evening, Cuiyue and Li's mother came back from the flower field.Lihua hurriedly asked: "How is the field?"

Cui Yue smiled and said: "Didn't you see the green smoke? According to the godmother's instructions, all the weeds in the field will be burned with a fire, saving the time of weeding, and it can also fertilize the soil! I will sprinkle the ashes tomorrow." Go up to the first floor, and then turn over the ground, and that’s it. By the way, you’re going to make a contract with Hong Kun tomorrow, right?”

Lihua nodded and said, "I agreed to go tomorrow. If you have something to do in the field, don't go. I'll go alone."

"Then I don't worry about it, you still have to carry several hundred taels..." Cuiyue lowered her voice and moved to Lihua's side and said, "Is it not safe for you to go out with hundreds of taels alone?"

"Who knows that I have a few hundred taels on me?" Lihua smiled, "It's best for me to go alone. You can stay at home and take care of the godmother and the field, that's the heaviest work. "

"Ask Guan Changming to take you there?"

"No need," Li Hua shook her head and said, "Don't bother Brother Chang Ming in the future. Doesn't the village head have cows? Just pay a few bucks and let him give me a ride." "That's right, save Mom Liu I'm not happy!"

"Oh!" Mother Li sighed suddenly, sat down and rubbed her legs and said, "I didn't expect her to be so individual! Usually, sisters come and go, and for a rich daughter-in-law, she sacrificed her own I have completely forgotten about her! How can you say that Chang Ming is like her? I wonder if Chang Ming was born by her!"

"Forget it, godmother, let's compare my heart to my heart. If I change you, I'm afraid I'll like that beautiful, rich and filial daughter-in-law too! Miss Hong is not bad, it's rare!" Cuiyue laughed.

"If she really climbed up to the Hong family's relatives, it might not be a good thing! The Hong family's door is so high, can she climb up? Hanging in mid-air is almost the same! Be careful that she will be exhausted!"

All three laughed.Mother Li got up and went to the kitchen to make dinner.Cuiyue pulled Li Hua and said softly: "When you go to town tomorrow, remember to report the theft at home to the town. Although you don't expect them to find out, you still have to tell them. Remember."

"Well, I got it." Lihua made an agreement with the village head the night before, and the next morning, the village head drove an ox cart to pick up Lihua at the door.When they left the village, Chang Ming and Liu Shi were carrying hoes to the field.

As soon as he looked up, he saw Lihua sitting on the village chief's bullock cart. Chang Ming was a little surprised and even a little disappointed.Lihua smiled politely at him, and greeted him: "Mother Liu, Brother Chang Ming, are you leaving the field so early?"

Mrs. Liu was stunned for a moment, then smiled perfunctorily and said, "Yo, Lihua, are you going to the town again? You've been running around this town really hard! By the way, who was the young master who brought you back last time?" ? Looks very familiar."

"Let's talk about it later, I have something to rush to the town!" Lihua turned her head and stopped answering after speaking.

Chang Ming was a little displeased, turned to look at Liu Shi and asked, "Mother, how can you ask such a question?" Liu Shi spat at Li Hua's back and said, "Why can't I say she can do it? Can the family get into a man's carriage casually? I don't know how to check it!"

"mother!"

"I said, Chang Ming, you should be more clear-headed, okay? I beg you! Miss Hong treats you so well now, why aren't you satisfied? What's so good about that Qin Lihua? Who knew she used to be outside What kind of business do you do? Didn't you hear what people said? She may have been in a brothel before..."

"Mother, you like Ms. Hong, so marry her! I don't care about Ms. Hong, no matter how hard you try, it's useless!"

"Chang Ming! Chang Ming!" Liu Shi chased Chang Ming and shouted, "Have you ever been kicked by a donkey? You don't want such a good girl. In terms of appearance and family background, how can you be worse than Qin Lihua? You still Want a broken shoe? I say you..." The two mother and son walked up the field ridge one after the other, and Liu Shi kept chasing after Chang Ming.Lihua sat on the bullock cart, turned her head to look at them, and smiled helplessly.

At this moment, the bullock cart stopped suddenly.Lihua turned her head and asked, "Uncle, why did you stop?"

"Miss Qin, why are you in such a hurry to go to town?" Qing Yi's voice suddenly rang in his ears.Lihua was slightly taken aback, raised her body and looked forward, and saw Qing Yi and the two-horse carriage.

Qing Yi jumped down from the carriage, walked to the side of the ox cart and said with a smile: "It looks like Miss Qin is going to town, right?"

"Yes," Li Hua asked, staring at him curiously, "but what are you doing here early in the morning? Going for a walk or walking your horse?"

"If you're not in a hurry, why don't you come down and talk to me first?" Lihua remembered Cuiyue's advice, shook her head lightly and said, "Sorry, I really have something urgent to go to town. I think... we The two seem to have nothing to say, right? Let’s talk about it later when we meet.”

"I want to tell you about Hong's shop." Qing Yi said with a faint smile.

"What about Hong's shop? What does this matter have to do with you?"

"If you want to know, then come down first. After listening to my words, if you insist on going to the town, you can take my carriage." At this time, the village chief turned his head and asked: "Miss Qin, are you still here?" Are you going?" Before Li Hua could speak, Qing Yi said: "Uncle, she won't go, you can go back."

"Hey, master, I never said I wouldn't go!"

"It's useless for you to go, because you can't afford the Hong's shop," Qing Yi patted the car guardrail with his hands and said, "Miss Qin, since you are a businessman, why don't you come down and have a chat?"

Lihua was really curious, what did Qing Yi mean by that?Why can't she afford the Hong's shop?She jumped off the bullock cart and apologized to the village chief.The village chief didn't say much, turned around and went back.
