It was not so hot in the morning. Early in the morning, when the sun had just risen, Cheng Ling was weeding in the field.
“Ling Ling, we have to make a trip to the Cheng family’s house.”
Cheng Ling’s forehead was already covered in sweat. She wiped it off casually and walked to Xie Ying’s side.
“Why are we going there?” Usually, there were only a few times in a year that they would go over. It was really rare for them to take the initiative to ask them to go over.
“Mr. Lu is here. He said that he has something to discuss with us.”
“Discuss with us?”
If it was any other time, Cheng Ling would not have bothered to go. However, she had just earned a sum from the Lu family last night…
After adding Lu Qi’s WeChat, Cheng Ling sent him the bill for yesterday’s small tomatoes and cucumbers. It was a total of 45,000 yuan. Lu Qi was also generous and directly transferred 50,000 yuan over.
After receiving the money, Cheng Ling happily circled around in the bed. She was in a good mood even when she woke up this morning.
“Then let’s go and see what’s going on.” She washed her hands and slowly walked over with Xie Ying holding her arm.
It rained last night, and the air was filled with the fragrance of earth. The mountains in the distance were still shrouded in fog. Lu Qi stood in a relatively hidden place and looked at the backs of the old and the young. His eyes were somewhat inquisitive.
When the two of them walked into the Cheng family’s house, Cheng Xiao was standing beside Lu Xiu. Her face was slightly red, and they did not know what Lu Xiu had said. The members of the Cheng family were all smiling.
Seeing Cheng Ling enter, Lu Xiu’s eyes lit up. He did not know why he actually wanted to stand up and greet her!
No, hold it in, you were now the person in charge of the Lu family!
Although he really wanted to eat another cucumber, he had to hold it in!
“Young Master Lu, Cheng Ling and the others are already here. If you have anything, just say it.”
No one asked Cheng Ling and Xie Ying to sit down. The two of them stood very close to the door, looking like they were ready to leave at any moment.
“What happens is yesterday, I passed by the back of the mountain and found that the scenery there is not bad. Therefore I want to buy a piece of land at the back of the mountain to build a house.”
The reason was also given by Lu Qi. It was obvious that Cheng Ling had hidden this piece of land from the Cheng family, so they could not expose it either.
