Rural Woman's True Colors 024: Borrowing Money

  "You said, why must you follow me?" This question had been asked repeatedly all the way, and it was already annoying.

  He didn't understand, the day before yesterday Yang Tao seemed to be avoiding Fengzhao Ge, even trying to stop him from learning martial arts with Fengzhao Ge. How did it change so suddenly? It seems that she suddenly developed a strong interest in Fengzhao Ge and insisted on following him. No wonder Father often says, "Women's hearts are like needles at the bottom of the ocean." It seems this girl's heart is the same way.

  But no matter how unwilling he was, Lu Dahei couldn't help but be moved by Yang Tao's repeated calls of "Big Black Brother". Alright! Considering she didn't call him "Lu Tai Hei", and sometimes she was quite obedient, Lu Dahei decided to bring her along. After all, Fengzheng Brother had high martial arts skills, so he shouldn't be afraid of this little girl playing any tricks.

  Besides, he was afraid that his mother would scold him again for not taking good care of his sister. He really didn't understand what was so great about this little girl, and why his mother treated her like a precious treasure.

  When she saw Yang Tao, Fengzhuan's face didn't show any abnormalities. No! It hadn't become slightly normal, still with a flirtatious appearance, first giving Lu Dahei and Yang Tao a coquettish glance. Today, Fengzhuan wore a purple outfit, Yang Tao counted on her fingers, guessing that Fengzhuan would probably change to red tomorrow.

  "Girl, have you thought it through? Are you going to boil water and cook for your brothers?" This freak is indeed a freak, able to make such a practical topic sound so gentle and soft. Fortunately, Yang Tao has already developed immunity to this soft voice, but it's strange that Lu Dahei doesn't get goosebumps from it?

  "No, I'm here to discuss something with you!" Yang Tao almost directly said "I'm here to ask for a dowry", but thought better of it. After all, the romance was just her own imagination and hadn't been confirmed yet. If she reminded him of such thoughts when he didn't have them in the first place, then her guilt would be even greater.

  At critical moments, Yang Tao was still very rational.

  "Oh, what's up?" The kite looked very interested in Yang Tao's affairs, staring at him.

  "Borrow money." Yang Tao said simply and concisely, after all, she still didn't have the determination to sell off Lu Dahei, and she was very confident that she could pay back the money, so borrowing was more reasonable.

  "How much?" The kite seemed not surprised at all, but continued to flirt to the end.

  "That's one hundred taels of silver." Actually, Yang Tao didn't know how much money he would spend either, but since he had already opened his mouth, he just said a round number.

  "Taizi, what are you going to do with so much money?" Lu Dahei was startled. He had grown up like this and had never seen one or two silver coins before, only copper coins.

  "Of course it's useful, do you think I'd waste it?" Yang Tao stared at Lu Dahei and began to act cute again in a very unconfident way. It's said that she had an experience of trying to act cute but being rejected and dumped, which left a huge shadow on her, so much so that until now, Yang Tao still didn't have confidence. "Big Black brother, considering I won't reveal the fact that you learned from...from Wind Chime brother, my borrowing money matter, you won't tell others, right?"

  "I...". Lu Dahei's already dark face couldn't show a blush, but his expression was really tangled. "Alright, I won't say anything. If grandma asks you, what will you say!"

  "Grandma's place I have my own way, don't worry about it." Yang Tao made an effort to make her smile look sweet and went to look at the kite. "Kite brother, I also want a horse carriage and a familiar driver, I'm going to town."

  "Going to town is great! Brother also happens to be going to town, why don't you come with me tomorrow? The silver matter will be even less of a problem, there's as much as you want." Fengzheng spoke slowly, drawing out his words, and always had a gentle and affectionate expression, speaking for half a day, making Yang Tao feel tired!

  Moreover, his sentence "as much as you want, there is as much" made Yang Tao feel very ambiguous, and suddenly remembered a movie he had seen a long time ago, where a woman said "as long as I'm happy, there's as much as I want".

  This idea made Yang Tao feel a sense of dread, although she thought about it repeatedly and still decided to borrow money, and didn't plan on using Lu Dahei as collateral, but it seemed that this weirdo was determined to grab onto Lu Dahei and not let go!

  And what did he say? Tomorrow, go to town with her? No way, she didn't want to be followed by a stunning fiery red figure wherever she went.

  However, it seems that if you raise objections with the creditor, you may not be able to borrow money. Yang Tao quickly thought of a compromise.

  "Hey, Kite Brother, tomorrow you can take me to town, but can I wear that green shirt from the day before yesterday or the blue one from yesterday? Not the red one, okay?"

  "Oh?" The kite raised an eyebrow, becoming even more interested in the little girl in front of him. "How did you know what color I wore yesterday? And how do you know about tomorrow's?"

  "I didn't say that." Lu Dahei looked at Yang Tao with a puzzled expression, he didn't remember telling her something so boring, the color of clothes, he hadn't even noticed it.

  Yang Tao glanced at the kite with a white face, red orange yellow green blue purple, this strange fruit really wore out a rainbow-colored formation. Is it difficult to guess? For someone with such great imagination and boldness, nothing is a problem.

  But Yang Tao didn't want to say it, isn't it often said that seeing through but not saying is a wise move? Yang Tao liked being a wise person. So she let herself show a very innocent and naive smile.

  "I'm just guessing randomly! Kite Brother, what do you think?!"

  When she said this, Yang Tao had already decided that instead of finding someone from the busy adults in the village to accompany her to town, she might as well use this kite. Considering he had some skills, she reluctantly tolerated his overly beautiful appearance, which might steal her spotlight as the female lead.

  "I'll go too." Lu Dahei said suddenly.

  "Great, great! Big Black Brother will go together too." Yang Tao's heart was smiling with satisfaction, thinking about how to tell her grandmother that she wanted to go to the town, now that Road Big Black was accompanying her, her grandmother shouldn't be worried anymore.

  Although in Yang Tao's heart, Lu Dahei was still a minor, at most entering puberty. But in the eyes of Grandma and the villagers, Lu Dahei was already a young man, capable of shouldering half the labor force.

  "So, tomorrow we'll say that we're going to the distant mountains to see if there are any medicinal herbs or wild vegetables and fruits. It would be more convincing if we bring some food with us. If grandma is worried, let Yifan brother come along too." Yang Tao was thinking about how to make the lie sound more real, but didn't notice that a strange light flashed in Fengzheng's eyes.
