"I'm your father, can't I ask you to do something?" Old man Lu's face turned black with anger.

Lu Qianqian said disapprovingly: "This really won't work. If you want me to call someone over, that's fine. Just pay them directly. After all, I'll pay them for their labor."

"you you..."

Without waiting for Old Man Lu to say anything, Lu Qianqian continued: "Otherwise, I will deduct it from the ten taels of silver every year?"

Old Man Lu suddenly became angry, "How dare you!"

Lu Qianqian looked at him calmly, "This is not written in the contract. I have no obligation to let anyone work for me."

"You are an unfilial daughter. I have raised you to this age in vain." Old man Lu raised his hand and was about to hit Lu Qianqian.

However, before Old Man Lu met Lu Qianqian, he was stopped by Lu Er and others.

"You can continue to make trouble here, but don't even think about me giving you a penny from now on."

Old Man Lu's hand stopped in mid-air, but finally he let it go. He sighed helplessly, turned around and left.

Lu Qianqian looked at his back, a hint of doubt in her eyes. As her father was so concerned about his reputation, he would never come to her side and ask people to help them with the autumn harvest.

It seems that someone said something, so her father came here to cause trouble.

However, Lu Qianqian didn't continue to worry about these things. Soon they wouldn't be able to find them, so she just let them continue to make a fuss.

Lu Qianqian continued to lie down. She definitely didn't want to do anything else today.

While Lu Qianqian was lying down, Old Man Lu also returned to the old house.

"What a fool you are. If your family doesn't have enough manpower, then just spend some money to hire a few people to help. What's the point of you looking for Qianqian?" When Lu Hua saw the look on Old Man Lu's face, he knew that nothing had been done.

"How could I have thought that that girl would be so hard-hearted!" Old Mrs. Lu sat on the chair angrily.

Lu Hua smiled and said, "That was in the past, when you were still a family. Now she has nothing to do with you. How could she agree to your request if you go over and ask her to do something like this?"

"I am her father, no matter what." Old Man Lu roared.

"Don't forget that you signed a contract. It's normal that she doesn't want to help you." Every word Lu Hua said was for Lu Qianqian, but everyone could see that old man Lu didn't like to hear these words.

Old Man Lu knew he was in the wrong, but he still said stubbornly: "Then I am also her father, she should be filial to me!"

Lu Hua did not continue talking. She also knew that she had planted a thorn in Old Man Lu's heart. No matter what happened in the future, Old Lady Lu and Lu Qianqian would have a grudge against Old Man Lu.

Lu Zhenghui originally disagreed with Lu Hua's words, but now seeing his father so angry, he quickly said, "Dad, I'll be at home during this period, and I'll join you for the autumn harvest."

"Why are you helping? Go back and read a book if you have nothing else to do. You are not needed in the fields."

Old man Lu was still counting on his son to pass the imperial examination and become the top scholar, so how could he let him help with the autumn harvest?

Lu Hua also disagreed. Now was the most critical time for Lu Zhenghui, how could he be distracted.

"You don't have to worry about family matters because we old people are here to take care of them. If things really don't work out, just hire a few more people."

Although Lu Hua looked down on Old Lady Lu and Lu Qianqian, he was still nice to these nephews and grandchildren.

. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .

Old Mrs. Lu went to the town with her two younger sisters. They hadn't been there for a long time. Widow Luo and Zhou Hua happened to be on vacation, so the three of them decided to go out for a walk together.

After returning from shopping happily, Mrs. Lu heard that Old Man Lu had come to her house to make trouble, so she hurried to find her daughter.

"Qianqian, is your father here to cause trouble?"

Old Mrs. Lu came to her daughter's yard where Qianqian was lying. Seeing that she was awake, she asked directly.

Seeing the old lady coming back, Lu Qianqian smiled and said, “It’s okay, mother, did you have fun today?”

"There's no rush for this." Old Lady Lu sat down next to her daughter. "Why did your father come here?"

Seeing that her mother was anxious, Lu Qianqian told her what happened today.

After hearing this, Old Lady Lu snorted coldly, "He really wants you to help him. It must have been that old lady who suggested it. Otherwise, with your father's temper, he wouldn't have the face to come to you."

Lu Qianqian nodded, "I guessed that, but it doesn't matter. It's only a few days. I'll ask Qingshan County to build our house first, and we'll move in after it's finished."

"I'll listen to you. If they come to your house during this period, you should not go out. After all, you are a girl and it will be bad for your reputation. If there is anything, let your mother go."

Lu Qianqian smiled and said, "Don't worry, Mom, I know. By the way, did you buy anything delicious today?"

When Mrs. Lu heard this, she quickly took out a small box from her arms and said, "I saw this in the jewelry store. I think it suits you very well."

Inside the box lay a golden hairpin made of gold thread and gemstones. It was rare to find such an exquisite hairpin in this small town.

"Mom will put it on you." Old Mrs. Lu smiled and inserted the golden hairpin into her daughter's bun.

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful."

At that time, Mrs. Lu fell in love with this hairpin at first sight. It was quite expensive, but as long as it was suitable for her daughter, Mrs. Lu was willing to buy it.

I spent eighty taels of silver to buy this gold hairpin.

Lu Qianqian smiled and let the old lady put the hairpin in, and said happily: "Mom has good taste."

Old Mrs. Lu's face was full of smiles as she was coaxed by her daughter.

"You should ask Du Ying and the others to let me take less things. That would be such a waste. There are still a lot of new things here that can be used again." After talking about the gold hairpin, Mrs. Lu thought about moving.

Lu Qianqian smiled and said, "When the house over there is ready, the things inside will also be prepared together, so it is not necessary to put them in the grocery room when you take them over. Besides, you can use them when you want to go back to Xinghua Village in the future."

Although Old Mrs. Lu was still reluctant to leave, her daughter's suggestion made sense. If she took the things here away, they would be useless when she wanted to come back and stay for a few days.

"Then keep it. You can use it when you come back."

Old Mrs. Lu chatted with her daughter for a while. Seeing that her daughter was lying there, she must want to rest, so the old lady didn't disturb her daughter's rest.

"Mom, go check what we're going to eat today. You take a rest!"

Lu Qianqian nodded, “I want to eat braised pork tonight!”

It's been hot recently and she hasn't eaten the braised pork made by the old lady for a long time. She really misses it.
