Divorce with three kids? I'll build a house and eat meat, driving my in-laws crazy.

Chapter 221 What's the difference between this and eating shit?

Chu Xiu said weakly, "This is indeed necessary."

The constable was quite efficient and quickly took Chu Xiu to a rather large pawnshop.

Unfortunately, the shopkeeper knew Chu Xiu and dared not accept his things.

Chu Xiu had no choice but to find a small pawnshop and sell all his belongings at a low price, earning 1500 taels of silver.

With the original 200 taels of silver, Chu Xiu now carried 1700 taels of silver, looking preoccupied.

Xiao Wu asked in a low voice, "Young Master, is your secret stash of money gone?"

Chu Xiu looked mournful. "It's not just gone, it's completely destitute."

"Is 1700 taels of silver enough?"

"What if we don't have enough?"

The two fell silent. Xiao Wu searched his entire body, took out 20 taels of silver, and handed it to him.

"Young master, I still have some."

Although he didn't have much money, every little bit helps; something is better than nothing.

Chu Xiu stared at the silver in his hand for a moment but ultimately didn't take it. "Take it. You still need to get married in the future."

Xiao Wu chuckled and said, "Young Master, what are you talking about? Why would I want to marry a wife?"

He scratched his head. He was a servant, born to be the young master's man, and to die to be the young master's ghost.

How can one expect to live a normal life?

Chu Xiu forcefully shoved the silver back into his hand, saying, "Even if you don't get married, you still need to buy wine to drink."

He knew that the silver was money Xiao Wu had painstakingly saved up, and he would rather die poor than accept it.

Besides, we're not starving yet; 1700 taels is still a huge sum of money.

The two men, with silver in their pockets, went to find people to source raw materials and negotiate prices.

It was around dark when we returned to Chenjia Village.

Chaochao stood at the door, gazing towards the main road for a long time, and finally saw the familiar carriage.

She breathed a silent sigh of relief. He was back, and his father hadn't grounded him. That was good.

"Chao Chao." Chu Xiu poked his head out of the carriage and waved to her from afar.

He felt inexplicably excited when he saw familiar faces.

It was as if, amidst a sea of ​​people, he had finally found his own place, with someone waiting for him to come home.

This home is different from the one where his father was. Here, no one scolds him or says anything bad about him.

Everyone here is kind, and every face is full of love.

Li Ruru and the others also came out of their house, carrying lanterns to wait for the two to return.

As the carriage entered the courtyard, Chu Xiu jumped down and said impatiently, "Aunt Li, I've raised 1700 taels of silver for road repairs."

Li Ruru was slightly taken aback. "Your dad is so generous?"

Xiao Wu pouted and said, "The money wasn't given by the master, it belonged to the young master."

Li Ruru asked again, "Xiu'er, do you have that much money?"

She knew that the young masters and sons of wealthy families usually had pocket money, but Magistrate Chu hadn't given him any for a long time.

He even took out his workshop shares worth 37.5 taels, so how could he suddenly produce 1700 taels?

There's definitely something wrong with this money.

Before Chu Xiu could speak, Xiao Wu said directly, "My young master pawned all his treasures."

Li Ruru said with heartache, "Xiu'er, you're so kind. Is this enough? If not, I'll add some more."

Chu Xiu thought for a moment and said, "It might not be enough. I estimate the road won't be finished."

Li Ruru took out 300 taels of silver and was about to hand it to Chu Xiu when Peipei intercepted it.

She smiled and said, "Since it can't be completely repaired, there's no need to repair some parts, so we can save money."

Seeing everyone's confusion, she explained, "Some people are too bad and don't deserve Master Chu's kindness."

After she explained it, everyone present understood, even Yin Yin understood.

She gave a thumbs up and said, "Second sister, your idea is absolutely brilliant." Li Ruru looked pleased. Her daughters were all so clever, one was cunning, one was quick-witted, and the other was gentle and generous.

Good, all good, all good kids.

Good children naturally deserve a big meal.

"Let's go home and have something delicious to eat."

As soon as Li Ruru entered the house, she and her two daughters busied themselves in the kitchen.

Soon, huge pies appeared on the table.

Chu Xiu asked in surprise, "Aunt Li, why is this steamed bun so big?"

It's even bigger than his face.

Li Ruru said cheerfully, "This isn't a steamed bun, it's called a pizza."

He pushed the plate in front of him and introduced, "This one is durian flavored, this one is roast meat flavored, and that one is cheese flavored."

Three types of pizza, three flavors, to satisfy different people's needs.

"What is durian?" Bai Lu asked.

"Durian is a fruit." Seeing that Bailu wanted to ask something else, she added, "This fruit is quite rare. I guess none of you have ever seen it before. It was very difficult for me to buy it."

Bai Lu nodded, dispelling her doubts.

The fruit is probably not very good, so we didn't buy any.

Li Ruru used a knife to cut the durian pizza in half, handed a slice to each person, and asked, "Smell it, is it fragrant or rotten?"

Chaochao said, "Of course it's the fragrance. I smelled it when I was in the kitchen just now. It smells so good."

She took a bite, and the sweet, soft, and chewy taste was so irresistible and addictive.

Peipei pinched her nose and asked, "Mom, is this durian spoiled?"

She had wanted to say something while she was in the kitchen. She thought her mother could turn something rotten into something magical, but she didn't expect that this thing would still smell bad even after it was cooked.

Li Ruru cut a slice of barbecue-flavored pizza for her: "You can have this, it's delicious too."

Peipei wiped her hands and took a bite. The chicken flavor was strong, and the thick crust made it very satisfying to eat.

"I like this."

Yinyin loves cheese pizza the most. She tilted her head back, stretched out the cheese, and ate with a look of pure bliss.

Everyone found their favorite flavor.

Fang Xingzhi really disliked the taste of the durian pizza, so he stayed far away from it, wishing he could run away from home.

Seeing that Li Ruru and Chaochao were still eating, he frowned and asked, "Don't you think that stuff smells terrible?"

Li Ruru shook her head: "No, it's delicious. But not everyone is lucky enough to enjoy durian. Some people find it smells bad, while others find it smells wonderful."

"Oh, I see." Yinyin nodded her little head, took a bite, and said, "It's pretty delicious."

As she spoke, she took a piece and ran up to Fang Xingzhi, saying, "Master Fang, you eat this."

Fang Xingzhi had a look on his face as if he'd eaten shit; he absolutely refused to eat it.

But seeing that Li Ruru was looking at him, he suppressed his disgust and took a small bite.

I tried to swallow it but almost vomited it out.

Well, just now he had a "eating shit" expression, now he's actually eating shit.

Let's talk about the difference between durian and poop.

"Eat this." Seeing that he was almost crying, Li Ruru quickly handed him a barbecue-flavored pizza.

The next day was another beautiful day.

The sky was an unbelievably blue, and despite the blazing sun, everyone's spirits were incredibly high.

Many women looked at the notice at the village entrance again and again, asking uncertainly, "Is this true?"

In this joyful atmosphere, Lü Da struck the gong, and even more people gathered around.

Today he has two pieces of good news to announce, two pieces of good news that are closely related to the people of Chenjia Village.
