Chapter 435 You Must Live to Spend Money
When Lu Qingqing and Qin Lang helped their master and his wife to the deck, Hu Laosan was directing a group of boatmen to adjust the sails.
Boss Lu and Old Man Lu were also among them, but they were busy working and didn't notice them.
Lu Qingqing tidied up her master's wife's hair that was messed up by the wind, and saw that the expression on her face was not as painful as before, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
Although the wind on the deck was a bit strong, the temperature was quite high at this time.
The cool breeze made people feel more comfortable.
At this moment, there were many other people on the deck besides the sailors.
Obviously they all knew that the deck was much more comfortable than the cabin.
After taking a quick look at the surroundings, Lu Qingqing chose a place with fewer people and helped her master and his wife over.
The two men sat cross-legged on the deck, looking into the distance, their complexions gradually looking better.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing asked Qin Lang to watch over the two of them and went to the side of the boat.
Watching the scenery on the distant shore quickly passing by and the moisture-laden wind blowing across my cheeks, I felt inexplicably refreshed.
On the entire river, theirs was the only boat visible to the naked eye.
When I looked down, I saw that the river was rushing, and the bottom of the boat was quickly pressing through layers of waves. The big ship was moving forward at a very fast speed.
Looking back, I could no longer see the dock where I had been waiting for the boat.
The scenes on both sides flashed by quickly, and the ripples caused by the boat passing by appeared endlessly, making Lu Qingqing's mind a little blank.
Turning around again, I saw that the river in the distance narrowed, with steep valleys on both sides.
I thought the bow would instruct the boatman to slow down quickly.
Unexpectedly, the big ship didn't slow down at all and continued to rush forward at a very fast speed.
Seeing the big ship getting closer and closer to the canyon, Lu Qingqing clenched the fence next to her.
At this time, Hu Laosan, the bowman in front, was still shouting at the top of his voice, directing the boatmen to quickly adjust the direction of the sails.
Before entering the canyon, the ship had adjusted its direction.
While Lu Qingqing was trembling with fear, the big ship entered the canyon steadily.
After entering the canyon, the speed of the large ship gradually slowed down.
From Lu Qingqing's perspective, Hu Laosan at the bow still maintained a calm expression.
It seemed as if commanding the large ship to enter the canyon steadily was no big deal at all.
It has to be said that there are top talents in every field, and this is absolutely true.
This was Lu Qingqing's first time on a boat in her two lifetimes, and she was a little nervous at first.
Seeing Hu Laosan's ability, I felt relieved.
When they returned to their master and his wife, both of them looked much better.
Seeing this, Lu Qingqing planned to go back and help the other people who were seasick to come to the deck to relax.
When those who were seasick in the team heard that going to the deck would be helpful, they all hurried to go there.
From the entire team, only those who were less prone to seasickness were left to look after the luggage.
It was not until dark that the ship found a place to anchor on the shore and everyone on the deck returned to the cabin.
At this time, the boatmen also went off work.
After a busy day of hard work, they were all very tired.
When I rushed to the kitchen, the cook, Aunt Zhang, had already prepared the meal.
Each person gets two 200g flour pancakes and a portion of boiled vegetables.
Boss Lu looked at Da Zhuang who was washing dishes next to the cook Aunt Zhang, and pondered in his heart.
He had asked Dazhuang to secretly take out some more food before, and he didn't know whether the child took it today.
When it was Boss Lu's turn, Aunt Zhang looked at him and picked two smaller pancakes from the basin for him.
When it was his turn to serve the food, he even shook his wrist.
Suddenly, half of a spoonful of food leaked out.
Seeing this happen again, Boss Lu became furious.
Just as he was about to get angry, he looked up and saw Aunt Zhang looking at him sideways.
"Why aren't you leaving yet?"
Boss Lu remembered what Old Third Hu had said before, that Aunt Zhang seemed to be a distant relative of the ship owner.
After thinking about it, I swallowed my anger again.
Aunt Zhang couldn't help but snort when she saw him leave obediently.
He dares to make trouble and try it!
Don't think she doesn't know. Such a big man forced a child to steal dry food back.
At that time, Dazhuang would always save half a pancake and bring it back to him.
She saw that the child was so reluctant to finish a single pancake that it was really pitiful.
He saved a small piece from his two pancakes and gave it to him.
Da Zhuang was a sincere boy. Seeing that she treated him well, he told her everything.
She endured it for the sake of her child.
Who would have thought that Boss Lu was so greedy.
Later, Da Zhuang was sometimes very hungry and had no bread left.
If you fail to bring back dry food, you will be scolded at best and beaten at worst.
This bear thing is really nothing!
Thinking about the big white steamed bun that Dazhuang gave her today, she swallowed her saliva.
This child is a sincere person. Whenever he gets something good, he insists on giving it to me, saying that it is a reward for my previous kindness to him.
Alas, what a bad luck this good boy has to have such parents. She must help Dazhuang vent his anger.
When she steamed the pancakes today, she deliberately made four smaller ones and left some for the father and son.
As for the saved dry food, make a pancake.
She watched Da Zhuang finish half of it and took the remaining half back to save him from being beaten and scolded again.
From now on, it will be like this!
Humph, she doesn’t have much power, but she can still make sure that the father and son don’t have much food to eat!
Aunt Zhang thought about it and quickened her pace in serving the dishes.
After finishing her work and having dinner with Dazhuang, she could go home early.
......
In the cabin, Lu Qingqing was lighting a mosquito-repellent incense.
Don't get me wrong, there are no mosquitoes in the cabin at this time.
However, the smell of vomit, feces, urine and other strange smells mixed together was extremely disgusting.
All we can say is that she managed to stay in the cabin thanks to her strong willpower.
Not far from her, Lu Lao San was chatting animatedly with Lu Lao Tou and Lu Lao Da.
Sun Cui leaned against the shaft of the cart with a pale face. She was still a little dizzy, but at least she didn't vomit.
She felt very uncomfortable watching the three men below eating the white flour cakes she made and drinking the head of the family's treasured wine.
She was pregnant and no one asked her if she hadn't eaten. She just ate!
Unfortunately, among the four people present, she was the only one who was unhappy.
The other three were chatting animatedly, and they would burst into tears from time to time.
During the conversation, Lu Laosan also learned about how the two had been living over the past year.
Looking at the appearance of his father and elder brother, after the brief joy of their reunion, Lu Laosan felt a rare sense of pride.
Now, I am the richest person in the family.
Dad and elder brother are penniless, I'm afraid they will have to rely on themselves in the future.
As the three of them toasted each other, Big Boss Lu and Old Man Lu also paid many compliments to the secretly showing-off Third Boss Lu.
Old Man Lu is the most realistic person. He was able to control his three sons before because he controlled the family’s money.
Now, he is an old widower. If he doesn’t rely on his richest youngest son, how can he rely on his penniless eldest son?
Boss Lu felt a little indignant when he saw his brother's proud look.
But when I think about it, after I settle down, I still have to rely on my third brother for support.
The feeling of being offended just disappeared.
After this conversation, he finally figured it out.
I'm sure everyone in the team has money. Not to mention anything else, just selling the carriage would fetch dozens of taels of silver.
As for my own daughter, she seems to be rich too.
But that son-in-law is really scary!
How come you've grown even bigger after not seeing you for more than a year?
It looked like he could be killed with one punch!
Even if he wants to get some money from his daughter's house, he has to be alive to spend it.
Now the third brother seems easy to talk to, and he doesn't want to be beaten unless he has no other choice.
