Chapter 108 Return to Xu Village
The two walked all the way back to the inn, ordered hot water, washed up and rested. They walked a lot and did a lot of things today. It was really more tiring than going up the mountain!
Have a good night's sleep...
The next morning, after having breakfast in the inn, he drove the carriage back to Xujia Village.
This is the first time Xu Han has come back since she was sold!
Because of the original owner's memories, she still felt a little uncomfortable. Xu Han couldn't suppress the urge to cry in her heart.
When they arrived in the town, they first bought some gifts for Dr. Liu, some cakes, and then took out about five kilograms of beef, two rabbits, and a pheasant from the space. For an ordinary family, this would definitely be considered a generous gift.
I bought some more offerings so that I can go and pay respect to the original owner's parents. This can be considered as fulfilling my filial duty on behalf of the original owner, after all, I am still occupying the body of someone else's daughter!
After buying things, the two rushed all the way to Xujia Village. The closer they got to Xujia Village, the more uncomfortable Xu Han felt. After entering the village, her eyes were red.
After coming to Xujia Village, it was of course impossible for Xu Han to return to her so-called home. After all, she was sold at that time and a severance agreement was signed.
Xu Han has nothing to do with the Xu family now, so naturally she won't go back.
So Lu Chuan drove the carriage directly to Doctor Liu's house.
Doctor Liu had been very nice to Xu Han before. A doctor is kind-hearted and seeing that Xu Han felt sorry for her, he would often give her some steamed buns. Of course, Xu Han also remembered Doctor Liu's kindness.
When they arrived at Doctor Liu's house, Doctor Liu was not at home. Instead, it was Doctor Liu's wife, Wang, who greeted Xu Han and Lu Chuan.
"Oh! Isn't this Xiaohan? Come in quickly!" Wang invited enthusiastically.
"Hello, Grandma Wang!" Xu Han called politely.
"Okay, okay! Come in and sit down." After saying that, he enthusiastically took Xu Han's hand and walked into the house.
Lu Chuan followed him in, "Is Doctor Liu home? Some time ago I asked someone to bring a letter to Doctor Liu, asking him to help prepare some more wound medicine. Now it's here."
"Here he is! Here he is! The old man is out on a medical visit and will be back soon."
Turning around and seeing what Lu Chuan was carrying, he narrowed his eyes and smiled, and said, "You brought so many things, why are you so polite! Stay here for lunch!"
After saying that, he called his daughter-in-law to cook. Doctor Liu's family was well off in Xujia Village, but they usually didn't buy so much meat, let alone something as expensive as beef.
"Grandma Wang, please stop working so hard. We were all helped by Doctor Liu before. You have been busy with housework during this period and have not come to thank us. If it weren't for Doctor Liu, my wife would probably not have survived!" Lu Chuan said.
"That's not right. He's a doctor, and this is what he should do."
The two were greeting each other when Doctor Liu came back from outside. When he saw the visitor, he greeted him with a smile.
"How is Xiaohan? She looks good!" asked Doctor Liu.
"Thank you, Doctor Liu, for your help. I have recovered now." Xu Han expressed his gratitude while bowing.
Doctor Liu hurriedly helped Xu Han up and said, "It's good that you've recovered! Stay here for dinner today!"
"No need to trouble Doctor Liu. We'll take Xiaohan to pay homage to my father-in-law and mother-in-law, and then we'll go back." Lu Chuan said.
"No trouble! No trouble! They are all home-cooked meals. It's still early, so you can go and worship first. You can have lunch when you come back in a while." Doctor Liu said.
"Go quickly! You'll be back soon!" Grandma Wang also urged.
The two of them couldn't refuse any longer, so they took the tribute, walked out of the courtyard, and headed towards the cemetery on the back mountain.
On the road, they saw an ox cart full of grain. The two looked at each other and understood each other tacitly.
After arriving at the place, I saw a lot of weeds growing on the graves of Xu's father and mother. I thought that no one had taken care of them for such a long time.
The two men pulled out the weeds and re-trimmed the grave before stopping.
Xu Han and Lu Chuan took out the tributes and placed them in order, then kowtowed to Xu's father and mother together.
"Dad and Mom, don't worry! I will live well. I am living a good life now, you can rest assured." Xu Han said.
I don’t know whether Xu’s father and mother can sense the changes in Xu Han, or whether they know that the real Xu Han is no longer here.
No matter what! Since I have taken over someone else's daughter's body, I have to live well for Xu Han. This should be what Xu's father and mother want to see!
"Please rest assured, father-in-law and mother-in-law, I will do my best to prevent Xiaohan from suffering. I will put Xiaohan first in everything and will never let her suffer any grievances." Lu Chuan also promised.
After the worship, the two of them went down the mountain together.
Meanwhile, Old Mrs. Xu was counting the silver and smiling from ear to ear. She really made a fortune today. She had no idea that the idiot was buying her own grain at the grain shop’s price.
This was simply a godsend, so he agreed immediately and sold all the food in his home, leaving nothing for food.
You know, if you normally take it to the town to sell it, the price will be suppressed, and now it is just after the autumn harvest, and this year is another bumper year, so the price of grain has dropped a lot!
Today, someone actually came to my house to buy food, and the price they offered was the same as before.
If you don't sell it yourself, wouldn't you be a fool? Of course you have to sell it all, leaving nothing behind, and then use the money to buy some black noodles to eat, which is the same.
Under normal circumstances, most farmers are reluctant to eat fine grains and will replace their fine grains with coarse grains, which will be enough for the whole family to eat for a year.
It is definitely not enough to eat only fine grains. Replacing fine grains with coarse grains is not only enough for a whole family, but also allows you to save some money!
Now he sold all the fine grains at home at once, and sold them at the previous price, earning several hundred coins more!
It is enough for the family to eat for a long time. Of course, given Mrs. Xu's personality, once the money is in her pocket, there is no way she can take it out again.
She was the only one who made money, and taking the money from her would be like killing her.
It was because Xu Han knew Old Madam Xu's character very well that she came up with the idea of buying up all the food in her house.
It is certain that she would not be willing to spend a lot of money at once to buy coarse grains and stockpile them, and when the price of grain rises, she will definitely not be willing to buy them.
From now on, she would not be able to buy any food with the money she had.
Old Mrs. Xu valued money more than her life. She was also particularly fond of boys over girls and would always grant her youngest son and eldest grandson's requests.
