Chapter 44 Finally became a ten-thousand-yuan household!
Chapter 44 Finally became a ten-thousand-yuan household!
At this point, some people started to urge, "Boss Li, weigh Xu's things first, see how much there is!"
As soon as he said that, many voices chimed in: "That's right, that's right, take a look!"
Li Da took out a steelyard balance and agreed with a smile:
"Alright, let's weigh the Xu family's first!"
"Fifty-four catties and seven taels"
"Fifty-eight catties and five taels"
……
"A total of 483.3 jin!"
"coax!"
The moment this number was announced, the crowd erupted in excitement:
"Congratulations, Lao Xu, on your fortune!"
This is someone offering congratulations.
"Don't call us again if something like this happens next time!"
This is because they planted Ophiopogon japonicus at home after listening to Xu Chunsheng's advice.
"These total 16432.2 yuan!"
Li Da immediately paid Xu Chunsheng 20,500 yuan. He had agreed beforehand to charge Xu Chunsheng an extra yuan for the Ophiopogon japonicus, which also included the 4,000 yuan that had not been settled last time.
"Wow, the Xu family has really struck it rich! They've become millionaires!"
The crowd stirred again; some were envious, some were jealous, and some were annoyed.
Even Li Da himself couldn't help but take a serious look at Xu Chunsheng, thinking that this young man was just as extraordinary as himself!
Xu Chunsheng was also very happy and couldn't stop smiling at his family members.
After deducting the 2,200 yuan to give to Xiaowei's family, I still have 20,000 yuan in my own hands.
This is the biggest sum of money his family has earned this time from growing Ophiopogon japonicus!
As a result, Xu Chunsheng's family officially joined the ranks of households with tens of thousands of yuan.
As for his sister's tragic fate of marrying into the Qian family in her previous life, that will never happen again. He also doesn't need to act extremely insecure because he's poor, just like in his previous life.
Xu's father, mother, and eldest sister also smiled at Xu Chunsheng.
The eldest sister's eyes welled up with tears, and she pressed her face against her youngest sister in her arms.
Among the crowd, Qian Junwei, who had come to watch the spectacle, also looked at the Xu family with a complicated expression, and then sighed with a hint of resentment.
Just as Qian Junwei was about to turn and leave, he saw You Xiaoxia not far from him, looking at Xu Chunsheng with eyes full of admiration.
"What are you still looking at? He's made it big now, he won't want you anymore."
Qian Junwei said.
You Xiaoxia turned around and glared at Qian Junwei: "That's not what you said before."
As she spoke, You Xiaoxia looked at Xu Chunsheng again, her eyes sparkling: "I think I've really fallen in love with him. He's really different from other men."
"What's the difference? Didn't you say you were only involved with him because he was willing to pay you and work for free?"
"That was before, things are really different now."
"Qian Junwei, we should keep our distance from now on. I don't want Xu Chunsheng to misunderstand. Even if he knows I don't like you, you should stay away from me."
Qian Junwei: "..."
After You Xiaoxia finished speaking, she squeezed next to the Xu family and began to greet Xu's father, mother, and eldest sister with a smile:
"Good morning, Uncle, Aunt, Sister Chunsheng, Little Sister."
Mrs. Xu was always amiable, and she smiled and said, "Hello," even in front of so many people.
"You Xiaoxia, what brings you here again?"
Xu Chunsheng also frowned and looked at her.
You Xiaoxia reached out to tug at Xu Chunsheng's sleeve, explaining:
"My parents sent me here. They said they wanted to invite you to their house for lunch today. My mom is going to cook Sichuan soup and also kill a chicken to stir-fry."
Xu Chunsheng dodged to the side, and said coldly:
"I remember saying that we have nothing to do with each other anymore, so we won't go. You can go back by yourself."
"With so many neighboring groups around, I don't want to say anything too harsh."
You Xiaoxia was extremely embarrassed by these words, unsure whether to leave or stay. Finally, still unwilling to give up, she continued:
"Chunsheng, I was wrong. I was rude earlier. I promise I won't ask you for anything anymore, and I won't ask for the bride price back. Please don't do this. I really can't bear to see you go!"
The more You Xiaoxia pleaded and begged, the more irritated Xu Chunsheng became.
Xu Chunsheng had no choice but to endure Li Da's gossipy gaze and whisper:
"We're not related. How many times do I have to say it before you understand?"
You Xiaoxia blushed with embarrassment.
"Xiaoxia, you should go back. Some things can't be forced."
Seeing this, Xu's mother offered some words of advice to You Xiaoxia.
"Yes, this can't be forced. Your You family was always finding fault with Chun Sheng and refused to agree to the engagement. Now that he's unwilling, why force it? It would only make you look bad!"
"Back then, I was so jealous of their poor circumstances. Now that they're rich, I can't just shamelessly say I can't bear to part with them. Nobody will believe that."
"Chunsheng, don't pay any attention to this You family's daughter. You shouldn't get involved in her marriage. I'll introduce you to my niece. My niece's family is much better than theirs. She's beautiful and still a high school student."
"And then there's my niece, she's so diligent, unlike You Xiaoxia, who doesn't study hard and doesn't want to do any housework, she just keeps nagging you to do it, we all see that. But my niece is different, she handles all the big and small things at home very well, she's just as capable as Chunhua!"
"I also have a younger sister who isn't engaged yet. She and Chunsheng are quite a good match. She's very pretty, as you all know."
The people who said these things were all from the same village and basically knew about the Xu and You families' situations. They all joined in the persuasion, and some even pushed You Xiaoxia aside and started to arrange a marriage on the spot, seeing that the Xu family's conditions had improved.
You Xiaoxia couldn't stand being bullied by these people any longer, so she ran away crying.
Xu Chunsheng naturally ignored him and just smiled and said:
"Dear uncles and aunts, my marriage is not in a hurry. If you really want to play matchmaker, please play matchmaker for my sister first."
Xu Chunsheng is really not in a hurry to get married.
He was only worried about his older sister.
His sister's tragic marriage in his previous life made him want her to marry a good man as soon as possible, so that he could finally put his mind at ease.
"Well, I must say, Chunhua and my nephew are quite a good match."
"Sister Zhang, your nephew isn't much taller than you, how could he be a good match for Chunhua? My son is a better match for Chunhua, he's tall and strong and honest."
"Oh, Sister Luo, if your son is honest, then there's no one smart in the whole village. Everyone knows that your son is never home and just loves to fool around outside. If you ask me, my nephew is more suitable. My nephew is a cadre in the commune."
Upon hearing these words, Qian Junwei felt even more choked up and couldn't swallow his anger.
"Hiss~"
Xu Chunsheng gasped, reached for his waist, and grabbed a hand that was pinching the soft flesh of his waist. He turned around and saw his older sister staring at him fiercely!
Under the powerful suppression of his bloodline, Xu Chunsheng swallowed hard and smiled awkwardly at his sister:
"Sis, have some consideration, there are so many people here."
After saying that, he turned to the onlookers and said:
"Alright, uncles and aunties, let's not keep Boss Li any longer. The important thing is to quickly convert the Ophiopogon japonicus into cash. There's no rush to sell it!"
"Haha, Chunsheng is right."
When Xu Chunsheng said this, everyone agreed, and they all got back to their business. However, some of them who had finished their work gathered in twos and threes to talk about the Xu family's affairs that day.
Li Da stopped focusing on Xu Chunsheng's gossip and started calling out to the villagers how much money they could make from weighing Ophiopogon japonicus.
But he didn't work diligently either. Taking advantage of a moment before Xu Chunsheng left, he seized an opportunity to ask Xu Chunsheng:
"Seriously, do you have time to come over to my house sometime? I'd like to treat you to a meal. My third sister just came back from the provincial capital."
