Chapter 126 No Need to Do This
"Being betrayed by the person closest to her, she was struggling in the fire pit alone, while her family members watched helplessly... Lu Lianghui must have felt very uncomfortable, right?" Qiao Jinlan sighed softly.
"My sister trusted her so much at the beginning, wasn't she trusting her just like she trusted her own family?"
"Let Lu Lianghui also feel the taste of betrayal."
She has never been generous in forgiving, she has always believed in repaying a hundredfold.
When Lu Yunxu looked at Qiao Jinlan like this, his heartbeat inexplicably accelerated, completely out of his control.
When she spoke like this, there was a charm that made him fall into it and unable to extricate himself. He just wanted to keep looking at her like this and didn't want to do anything else.
Just watching, watching...
"Hiss!" Lu Yunxu suddenly lowered his head, bent over, and picked up the guy who was biting his calf on the ground.
Even though the coal boss was being held by the scruff of the neck, his little paws still flapped in protest.
"What's wrong?" Qiao Jinlan asked curiously.
Lu Yunxu said without blinking, "It must be hungry. Give it something to eat."
Qiao Jinlan nodded, called Feicui, and prepared food for the coal boss: "It has a good relationship with you. It will come to you when it is hungry."
Lu Yunxu and the little kitten who was twisting its body froze at the same time. Man and cat looked at each other and saw the same deep disgust in each other's eyes.
Who has a good relationship with him (it)?
Of course, this was only for a moment. Lu Yunxu immediately laughed, held the kitten in his arms, and rubbed it: "Yes, I have a good relationship with the coal boss."
The little kitten, whose fur stood on end after being rubbed, meowed softly and rubbed against Lu Yunxu on purpose, showing that they were very close.
Qiao Jinlan raised the corners of her lips and smiled.
"Coal boss, it's time to eat." Feicui called out.
A black shadow flashed by quickly, and the kitten rushed to its food bowl.
Feicui exclaimed in surprise: "The coal boss is so quick."
The little kitten, who was about to lower his head to eat, froze for a moment, and then continued eating as if nothing had happened.
I wanted to get rid of Lu Yunxu so much just now that I moved a little faster, but it should still be within the range of a normal cat.
Lu Yunxu stood up, washed his hands, and then came back to continue eating.
This snow really lasted for a long time.
It has been raining on and off for ten days.
The people were all looking at the vast snow outside with worry, not knowing what the future would hold.
If it keeps raining like this, how are they going to work?
How can you get paid if you don’t work?
Without wages, what will the adults and children at home eat?
The noble families don't worry about these things. Most of them are worried that there are fewer fresh foods.
Of course, there were ministers who were more concerned about the people and were wondering how the common people would survive in such heavy snow.
They also kept praying to God not to rain any more.
If this continues, many people will die.
Marquis Anyang was very happy these days: "This snow lasted quite long."
Qiao Jiaojiao smiled and said, "It looks like it will take one or two months."
That was the case in my previous life.
Many places in Dazhen suffered from disasters.
Charcoal cotton coats are really in short supply.
"Dad, we can sell our charcoal at a good price this time." Qiao Jiaojiao said happily.
"Yes, father, I saw that the price of charcoal has gone up in the shops outside." Lu Liangyi said, "After a while, I will take some people out to take a look and bring back some charcoal."
"It's too dangerous for you to go out in such heavy snow. Just let them go by themselves." Su Yunxia was worried about her son.
"Mom, I have to go there myself." Lu Liangyi insisted, "Only in this way can they see how hard I work for the people."
"I risked my life to transport the life-saving charcoal back. Even if I sell it at a higher price, they won't complain."
Lu Liangyi's words were recognized by Anyang Hou: "That's right, Yi'er, in two days, you will go and bring back some of the charcoal."
"We collected charcoal from other places to solve the heating problem of the people in the capital, so the amount will not be too large."
"We'll continue to collect charcoal from other places."
That would make sense.
Marquis Anyang and his men had a good plan.
But on the eleventh day, the snow stopped.
At this moment, the people of the capital city ran out excitedly and cheered.
Although the weather is very cold, once the snow stops, they can work and earn money to support their families!
Just when everyone was happy, Marquis Anyang's face turned dark.
How could it stop?
He invested a lot of money to buy charcoal, and even borrowed money from usury.
If the charcoal fell on his hand... Marquis Anyang didn't even dare to think about the consequences.
"Dad, don't worry, it's just stopped temporarily, it will come again in the future." Qiao Jiaojiao said hurriedly.
In the past few days, I often stopped for an hour or two.
Anyang Hou said in a deep voice: "It would be better this way."
Anyang Hou waited for two days and found that it still didn't snow. He was on the verge of exploding: "Didn't you say there was a snowstorm?"
Qiao Jiaojiao twisted her handkerchief nervously: "Father, look, the sky is overcast, it will still rain."
Even if the snow stops, it will definitely continue to snow if the sun is not visible.
Anyang Hou thought about it, but still felt uneasy: "Yier, pack up and go out to find charcoal tomorrow."
"After the snow falls, it will only get colder if it melts."
"It would make sense for you to go looking for charcoal now that it's not snowing."
Lu Liangyi nodded: "I will leave tomorrow."
Marquis Anyang looked at the gloomy sky outside and felt a little relieved.
As long as the sun hasn't come out, it means the snow is not over yet.
He was a little impatient, but he had invested so much money, it would be strange if he was not anxious.
Because of the snow, the morning court was not attended every day. The next morning, Marquis Anyang watched Lu Liangyi take his men out.
As soon as they left the Marquis' Mansion, they met their colleagues from the house next door.
When Anyang Hou saw people, he deliberately raised his voice and warned Lu Liangyi: "Yier, the roads are slippery in the snow. Your father knows that you are looking for charcoal for the people in the capital, but you have to be careful."
"Father, don't worry." Lu Liangyi bowed and said, "I will definitely try to find as much charcoal as possible so that the people in the capital can buy charcoal and try my best to help them survive this winter."
"Good boy!" Marquis Anyang patted Lu Liangyi's shoulder with satisfaction.
The colleague next to him looked at Anyang Hou and his companions and asked hesitantly, "My Lord, are you going to buy charcoal from somewhere else?"
"Yes." Marquis Anyang took a deep breath and spoke in a tragic tone, "There is too little charcoal in the capital. I asked my son to take the risk and go to other places to look for it. Even if he buys it back at a high price, it can give the people of the capital a glimmer of hope."
The colleague blinked his eyes and said, "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Lord Lu Yunxu found a large amount of charcoal outside the city and has already transported it here."
