Abandoned woman from a poor family, she is addicted to wealth

Chapter 542
Lu Jiu came to a small mountain village with Fu Lanqing on his back.

There have never been outsiders in the village. As soon as Lu Jiu came in with Fu Lanqing on his back, he was surrounded.

Although Lu Jiu was a girl, she still did not let her guard down, especially since she was carrying a man behind her back.

The leader should be something like the village head, who looks very prestigious.

The talkative woman couldn't help asking: "I said girl, didn't you elope with your lover?"

Because Fu Lanqing was dressed in red, he subconsciously felt that Fu Lanqing was either the husband-in-law that Lu Jiu forcibly robbed, or that Fu Lanqing was dissatisfied with the wife he married at home, so he eloped with his good friend.

No matter how you say it, you can't escape the word elopement.

There is an old saying that goes well, hiring is a wife and a concubine.

Those who run away are concubines, and their parents and people are all despised.

If the children's free love is hindered and they meet to elope, the woman is not qualified to be a wife, and the families of both parties only think that she is just a concubine.

In ancient times, it was still an absolute class society and a patriarchal society, and the marriage of children was decided by parents.

In order to fundamentally prevent free love between young men and women, especially between different classes, the legal provisions must strictly stipulate the distinction between wives and concubines.

It was determined that the two had eloped, so the villagers looked at them with unfriendly eyes.

Amidst the unfriendliness, there is still a bit of unhappiness hidden, which is fleeting and hard to detect.

"Of course not!" Lu Jiu directly denied: "The relationship between us is very innocent, he is my brother."

Fu Lanqing changed the silver fox fur cloak for a red fox fur one today.

Now that he is lying on Lu Jiu's back, others only see a blush.

"Then why is he wearing the bridegroom's clothes!"

Lu Jiu heard that, her head was full of black lines, how could a fur cloak become the groom's clothes.

Lu Jiu lifted the red fox fur cloak, revealing the black clothes inside, and explained: "It's just a fur cloak, not for elopement."

The village chief breathed a sigh of relief and asked, "Why did the girl come to our Chenjia Village?"

Chenjia Village is a small mountain village, which is relatively backward and conservative in thinking. Everyone in the village is surnamed Chen, and most of them choose to marry close relatives.

"My brother and I met robbers and accidentally fell off a cliff. I came down from that mountain."

Lu Jiu lied casually, and didn't notice that almost all the village women were looking at Fu Lanqing, obviously he didn't show his face either.

The village head looked at Lu Jiu's disheveled clothes, and he didn't doubt it. He took the initiative to say, "The visitor is a guest. Do you want to rest in the village and find a way out?"

Lu Jiu nodded: "Alright, I'm in trouble."

"No trouble, no trouble."

The village head looked at Fu Lanqing who was behind Lu Jiu, and was sympathetic to Lu Jiu, a girl with a big man on her back. He quickly asked a few strong laborers to help Lu Jiu, but Lu Jiu politely refused.

She dared not let others touch Fu Lanqing.

The village chief waved everyone away, and then took Lu Jiu to his home.

Chenjia Village is even more dilapidated than Xingfeng Village. The houses are all dilapidated thatched huts, and even the roads in the village are very difficult to walk.

The living conditions of the village chief's house are relatively good. It is not a dilapidated thatched cottage, but a small wooden house with five or six rooms.

When they were walking, they couldn't help chatting a few words, but Lu Jiu didn't reveal too much, and only said that his surname was Lu.

"Miss Lu, this is the house where my youngest daughter lived before she left the pavilion. There is only one vacant room in the house. The two of you, brother and sister...do you want to make do with it?"
