Chapter 50 The eldest brother of the Lu family

Chapter 50

Lv Songli rode a carriage to her eldest sister-in-law's family, the Tian family. They set out early and arrived at the time of Sishi, which was about ten o'clock in the morning.

Lv Songli noticed from a distance that there was a carriage parked in front of the Tian family's gate, and many people were carrying things from the house to stuff it. Her eldest brother was saying something to the two half-grown children.

"Enough, enough, Ah Xiu and Ah Wen, don't move."

"Brother-in-law, we can't listen to you or my sister about this matter. We have to listen to our mother."

"Yes, brother-in-law, you have helped us a lot during this period of time. This little thing is nothing."

The carriage approached, and Lu Songli poked her head out of the carriage, "Brother and sister-in-law?"

Hearing the voice, Lu Zhiyuan turned around and saw Lu Songli very surprised, "Little sister, why are you here?"

When Lu Zhiyuan saw his own sister, he thought that his parents had an accident. It was not until Lu Songli denied his guess that he was relieved.

"What are you doing?" Lu Songli looked at the things stuffed in the back of the carriage and had some guesses in his mind.

Lu Zhiyuan said, "Your eldest sister-in-law and I just heard about the Queen Mother's decree to grant marriage, and we are planning to go back today." With such a big thing happening at home, as the eldest son, he should stay at home to help his parents share some of the burden. When the news came, he kept regretting not being able to go back earlier.

Lu Songli thought, the news spread quickly.

"Don't stand outside, let's go inside first." Lu's eldest sister-in-law Tian noticed that the neighbors began to look around, and she also dealt with two people who wanted to come over.

Lu's eldest sister-in-law led her to rest, but Lu Songli said, "No hurry, I'll go see my in-laws first."

Then Lu's eldest sister-in-law took her to see my in-laws. Mrs. Tian broke her left hand and left leg and is still lying in bed to recuperate.

Lv Songli saw her sister-in-law helping Mrs. Tian up. Seeing that she was inconvenienced, Lv Songli said a few words of greeting on behalf of her parents. Mrs. Tian was very polite and grateful for her brother's help in recent times and her parents' tolerance.

Lv Songli stayed for a while and came out after she finished speaking, without disturbing the injured to rest.

Then, Lv Songli followed Lv's sister-in-law to the main hall, where her brother was already sitting.

"Little sister." Seeing her, Lv Zhiyuan wiped his face and tried to cheer himself up.

"Brother, you are so tired these days?" Lv Songli looked at his face, his face was sallow, there were red bloodshot eyes, and the bottom of his eyes was drenched. He looked tired. He must have been working hard these days.

Lv Zhiyuan smiled bitterly. Originally, their family came to celebrate the birthday of their mother-in-law and planned to stay for two or three days before going back. At that time, my father-in-law and my eldest brother-in-law had just gone out to look for medicinal herbs. They had just packed their luggage and were about to go home. But at that moment, my mother-in-law fell down. She was seriously injured and broke one hand and one leg.

The Tian family has a medicinal herb shop. When my father-in-law and my eldest brother-in-law are there, they go to the shop to work. When they are not at home, my mother-in-law goes to inspect. Now my mother-in-law is injured and can't move. The remaining brother-in-law and sister-in-law are young, only eight years old, and they are not good at anything. The Tian family has no one in charge. If they leave, the whole Tian family will be in chaos. There is no way, he can only stay with his wife and children to help.

Lu Zhiyuan didn't want to mention the situation on his side for the time being, and there was nothing good to mention. He was more concerned about his younger sister and his family. "Little sister, what's the matter with the Queen Mother's marriage?"

So, Lu Songli simply recounted what happened at home recently.

Lu Zhiyuan was stunned. He had never expected that his family would undergo such earth-shaking changes after he had been away from home for only half a month. The story of his sister changing her fiancé was so tortuous. Xie Zhan, the fiancée of his family for nearly ten years, became Zhao Yutan's, and Zhao Yutan's fiancée Qin Sheng became his brother-in-law.

"Isn't this nonsense! What does Xie Zhan do for a living?" Lu Zhiyuan was so angry that he slammed the table, and then he could not help but walk around in the hall with his hands behind his back. He did not expect that a small incident of falling into the water would lead to such huge consequences.

Lu Songli did not say much and let him vent. Things were already a foregone conclusion.

"I should have gone back earlier." Lu Zhiyuan regretted it.

Lu Songli ate the freshly baked snacks and said indifferently, "It doesn't matter. You can't help much if you go back."

In modern times, she liked to eat salty traditional snacks and disliked sweet snacks very much. She rarely ate cakes. Maybe it's because of the lack of sugar in this era, and her body is thirsty for sugar. She now eats the sugar corners made by the Tian family, and she actually feels very good.

Lu Zhiyuan: Sister, this is heartbreaking.

"Little sister, it's all my fault. I kept your brother at your mother's house to deal with things." Sister-in-law Tian also blamed herself. She didn't expect such a big thing to happen at home. Before Tian An went back, her parents-in-law brought them a message saying that they could handle and take care of the family affairs, so that the couple could help at the Tian family with peace of mind.

She hesitated for a while and agreed. The parents-in-law were in charge of the Lu family. If they left her mother's house, there would be no one who could make the decision.

"Sister-in-law, don't blame yourself. What I said just now is the truth. Even if my brother goes back, the situation will not be better than it is now. If he stays here, the family will save half a month's food."

Lu Zhiyuan: This is even more heartbreaking. So he is just a glutton at home?

Lu Zhiyuan snorted twice and said, "Although I, your brother, didn't help at home, I did gain something in the past half month."

Lv Songli was curious, "What did you get?"

Lv Zhiyuan nodded to his wife, Tian smiled at her and went into the house.

He turned to her and said, "You'll know in a minute, little sister."

Not long after, her sister-in-law came out with a wooden box of good material. At Lu Zhiyuan's signal, she handed the wooden box directly to Lu Songli.

Lv Zhiyuan raised his chin, "Take a look."

Lv Songli took it and opened the wooden box without hesitation. She recognized it at a glance, "Oh, is this wild ginseng?" That's right, in ancient times, ginseng was wild, and there was no concept and technology for artificial cultivation.

She lifted the box and carefully observed the ginseng's stalk, body, and whiskers. This ginseng has a short and thick root, a yellow-brown skin, and two legs stretching to the sides. The ginseng is shaped like iron wire, dense and deep, and there are rings on it.

Lu Songli leaned in and sniffed the faint ginseng scent, and said, "Is this ginseng fifty years old?" The key is that it is in good condition.

Lu Zhiyuan looked at his sister in surprise. She knows ginseng? The age of the ginseng she said was right, fifty years, no more, no less. The problem is that when he planned to buy this ginseng, he asked a master to judge it. This master was very good at identifying ginseng. In order to ask this master to judge it, he spent twenty taels of silver.
