Yin Xu really knew how to cook. His mother was in poor health and his sister lived in the county to study. He was the one who usually cooked for the Yin family. When he heard Chu Xiang's words, he immediately agreed. "Okay, I'll cook. You can just watch from the side. The exams are coming soon, so you should study hard. Don't let these things delay you. "
Chu Xiang asked curiously, "Why did you retire from the army? It's glorious to be a soldier. From what Skinny Monkey said, you were a very good soldier in the army. You should have a high chance of being promoted, right? It's a pity that you came back. "
Yin Xu looked down and hung the two fish on the straw rope. He said lightly, "My mother's health has been deteriorating over the past two years. I'm worried. The missions I did in the army were very dangerous. There were a few times when I almost couldn't come back. If I'm gone, what will happen to them? It's good now. Our family is together. There's nothing to regret. "
Chu Xiang was a little surprised by the reason for his retirement. "I didn't know that under your tough appearance, there was a delicate heart. Yin Xu, if mom's health and your legs recover, do you want to go back to the army? "
Yin Xu was in a daze for a second. He shook his head and said, "How can there be such a good thing?"
Chu Xiang knew the answer from his nostalgia in that second. He liked the army, liked to go on missions, and liked to protect the country.
Chu Xiang didn't say anything more. She would see the future when she reached that point.
Skinny Monkey ran out of the valley and shouted excitedly in a low voice, "I dug it up! I dug up Brother Xu! Sister-in-law, come and see! We're rich this time! "
Chu Xiang stood up. Yin Xu also stood up slowly with the help of his crutches. Skinny Monkey was anxious. Skinny Monkey ran over and carried Yin Xu on his back. He said anxiously, "Hurry up, you two. Why are you so careless?"
Chu Xiang smiled as she followed behind the skinny monkey. Together, they went to see the "treasure" that he had dug out.
There were quite a lot of things. There were antiques, calligraphy and paintings, and jewelry. In this era, they could be sold for almost 100,000 yuan!
Yin Xu looked at Chu Xiang. "You … you're hiding something that no one can find. Why don't you show us what you've got?"
"Okay." Chu Xiang turned around and walked out.
Skinny Monkey looked outside worriedly. "Brother Xu, can sister-in-law go out alone? This is deep in the mountains. "
Yin Xu fiddled with the antiques. "Does your sister-in-law look like an unreliable person? She wouldn't do something she wasn't sure of. Don't pry into the secrets. "
"Oh, are you afraid that sister-in-law doesn't want us to see it? That's right. Sister-in-law is quite mysterious sometimes. Why didn't I notice it before? "
"Have we ever cared about women before?" Yin Xu had seen all the antiques and knew what was going on. He sat on the ground and stretched out his legs to relax. He motioned Skinny Monkey to sit down too. "Wait and see. Your sister-in-law is not an ordinary person."
Chu Xiang got a bunch of vines outside and weaved a big airtight bag. Then she leaked her Reiki and successfully caught two rabbits, two pheasants, and a nest of pheasant eggs.
When Chu Xiang came back to Yin Xu with these things, Yin Xu couldn't calm down even though he was prepared. Skinny Monkey jumped up and said in shock, "Sister-in-law, you, you, you …"
"I'm a lucky star. What's so strange about that?" Chu Xiang was in a good mood and joked. She asked Skinny Monkey to put all the things into the bag. "If you want to make a lot of money, you have to make a big fuss from the beginning. Otherwise, how will others know?"
"Oh, okay." Skinny Monkey was stunned and didn't know how to react. He obediently worked.
Yin Xu silently tied up three rabbits and two pheasants. For the first time, he doubted his life. His wife might really be the reincarnation of a lucky star. She could get everything she wanted.
The antiques were put at the bottom of the bag, and the rabbits and pheasants were put on the top. Nothing could be seen. Skinny Monkey carried the bag, Chu Xiang supported Yin Xu, and Yin Xu was carrying two fish and a basket of eggs. It was a fruitful trip.
As soon as the three of them came out of the mountain, they met someone. The person was surprised. "Where did you go? What are these things? "
Chu Xiang smiled. "There was a shortage of labor at home, so we wanted to sell some things. We were lucky and caught a few wild animals. I was thinking of making them into food and selling them in town. Aunt Qin, don't stretch out your hand. Don't hurt yourself. Rabbits bite when they are anxious. You can see them in the cage later. "
"Oh, okay, okay. Be careful. Don't let them run away. There are so many of them. It's like the New Year. I have to follow them. "
There were many people like this aunt. By the time they reached home, there were already seven or eight people following them. Chu Xiang happily chatted with them. She had something to say to everyone, and it was all about their own matters. She didn't mention anything about her family.
Yin Xu and Skinny Monkey were soldiers after all, so they were very sensitive in this aspect. They both felt that Chu Xiang was too good at tricking people. If they kept their mouths shut, it would be a waste of their talents in the village.
Skinny Monkey was especially impressed. His eyes were full of worship. He used to only admire Yin Xu, and now there was Chu Xiang. Moreover, this sister-in-law could even handle Brother Xu. She was really amazing.
Skinny Monkey was carrying nearly 100,000 yuan, and his palms were sweating. He was afraid of being found out, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to let others see his expression. He didn't expect Chu Xiang to be so relaxed all the way. She carried the things home in front of everyone.
Chu Xiang asked Skinny Monkey to go into the warehouse with her. She turned around and stuffed the rabbits and chickens into two cages. Then she put the bags behind the jar. When she touched the bags, she put the things inside into the space just in case. No one could find out.
When everyone saw the wild animals Chu Xiang took out, they were all surprised. They thought there were only one or two, but they didn't expect there to be so many.
Everyone asked her how she managed to catch the fish. Chu Xiang smiled and said, "I guess I got lucky. I've been taking care of Yin Xu all this time. I didn't use any tricks. At most, I used a slingshot. Yin Xu was very accurate with this shot. Unfortunately, the slingshot fell into the river when I was catching the fish."
Yin Xu was a soldier. He had shot a gun before, so it was not strange for him to be accurate with a slingshot. Everyone believed her. Those who wanted to learn how to catch fish felt regretful. They could learn other things, but they couldn't be accurate. Moreover, it really needed luck to see so many wild animals. They couldn't be jealous.
The Yin family was as lively as the New Year. Yang Yuelan and Yin Qiuwen were also very excited. Some people even asked Chu Xiang what she was going to sell in town. Chu Xiang chatted with them for a long time. However, when the crowd dispersed, she realized that they didn't get anything out of her.
Skinny Monkey watched the whole process. He admired Chu Xiang so much. Even his "sister-in-law" was more sincere and sonorous!
The news quickly spread throughout the village. Grandma Chu threw her chopsticks on the table and stared at Chu Lan. "Eat, eat, eat! You only know how to eat! What did you earn by going to town? Chu Xiang can still get so much meat for her husband's family. What about you? What can you do? "
Chu Lan's mother was unhappy. "Our Chu Lan used to get a lot of things for our family."
"That's in the past. How much has it been? We can't even see a piece of meat. Our family only has ten yuan in total. What do we eat and drink? " Grandma Chu stared at the mother and daughter unhappily. "Don't think that I don't know that you are hiding money and causing trouble. Our family hasn't split from the family. All the money has to be handed over. Chu Lan, you …"
Chu Lan interrupted her impatiently. "Aren't I working so hard for the sake of my family? After I earn money, Daxin will be the one enjoying the good life, right? Grandma, why are you so calculative? "Chu Lan got up and went into the house." I'm not eating. I have to get up early tomorrow to go to town. "
"Damn girl, what a liar …"
Chu Lan locked the door and completely ignored Grandma Chu's scolding. She was very scared now. The fact that Chu Xiang got a few animals was like a nightmare. Chu Xiang's good luck seemed to have disappeared. She only had 40 yuan left of the 100 yuan she took. She was so anxious that she felt that the knife hanging over her head was about to fall!
Chu Lan knelt on the ground and prayed to Bodhisattva. But what was the use? The more she prayed, the more desperate she became. She couldn't even sleep.
The next day, when Chu Lan went to town, she happened to meet Chu Xiang and the skinny monkey who were also going to town. They were really going to town to sell things!
Chu Lan smelled the meat in their basket. She felt disdain in her heart. She put on a fake smile and said, "Everyone in our place is poorer than the other. This thing is not cheap, right? Who are you going to sell it to? "
Chu Xiang smiled faintly and said, "You don't have to worry about that. You'd better worry about your own business. Look at your face. Be careful not to lose everything."
These words stabbed Chu Lan's heart. Her face changed dramatically. She said angrily, "Chu Xiang, what are you so proud of? You married a cripple and disfigured your face. You still have the nerve to come out and make a fool of yourself. What right do you have to be me? "
"Who are you calling a cripple?!" Yin Qiuwen immediately pushed Chu Lan. She was very angry.
Of course, Chu Lan wanted to fight back. However, she was quickly pushed away by Chu Xiang. "What are you doing? Are you bullying my sister because of her age? Chu Lan, stay away from us. Otherwise, I don't know if you can come back safely today. "
"What do you mean?" Chu Lan stared at Chu Xiang. Her face was blue with anger.
"You can figure out what I mean. You haven't settled the score with me yet. Do you think I'm the kind of person who repays evil with good?"
Chu Xiang looked into her eyes. How could an ordinary person withstand Chu Xiang's cold gaze? Chu Lan didn't talk back. A layer of sweat appeared on her back. At that moment, she felt that Chu Xiang was going to kill her!
For the rest of the journey, Chu Lan didn't dare to say anything else. She listened to the three of them laughing in frustration and anger. She was so angry that she almost suffered internal injuries.
When they arrived in town, Chu Xiang and the others didn't set up a stall. They sold their food as they walked. There were steamed buns, chicken offal, and diced chicken. They sold all of them by counting.
At first, no one bought them. However, as soon as the lid of the basket was lifted, the tantalizing smell of meat wafted out and attracted a lot of people. Some people didn't want to buy because they thought it was too expensive. Naturally, there were also people who were willing to give it a try, especially Old Rao who doted on her children and was filial. More and more people bought it.
Skinny Monkey and Yin Qiuwen were busy collecting money and selling things. They couldn't stop smiling. Chu Lan followed them from a distance. When she saw this scene, she bit her lip so hard that it bled.
It was just some food. Didn't these people know how to make it themselves? They were actually willing to pay for it? Nowadays, selling clothes was more profitable than eating. Was Chu Xiang's luck really returning to her?
Chu Lan didn't think that selling well was because it was delicious. Her mind was full of good luck. She felt so uncomfortable that she almost couldn't breathe.
Chu Xiang took advantage of the crowd to separate from them. She went to find a buyer alone to sell the things they dug up. Without Skinny Monkey and Yin Qiuwen following her, she found a secluded place and used the things in her space to change her appearance. Her previous appearance was completely unrecognizable.
She didn't want to show off her wealth. Even if she wanted to make money, she had to do it secretly. She wanted to make a fortune quietly and make her first bucket of gold.
