As the wedding day approached, Qi Yue became busy, time was tight, and there was a lot to prepare. Lin Sheng was also caught by him to be a strong man.
Because he was an outsider, he didn't know anyone here, and he didn't know who to hire. After thinking about it for a long time, he asked the village chief and Lin Sheng for their opinions, and gave them to the people who were close to them and had more prestige in the village. Posts have been handed in, and the guest issue is resolved.
The He family has not been very happy recently. When He Ling was there, he did all the laundry, cooking, carrying water and chopping wood at home. When he left, all these things fell on their own heads. .
"Smoke burns every day, and the whole body is full of fumes!" Mrs. Zheng fiddled with the dishes in the pot with a shovel, complaining dissatisfiedly.
"That's right, my hands are getting thicker when I wash clothes recently!" Liu shi said in agreement, while helping to add a ladle of water to the pot.
How comfortable they were in the past, they could just wait for the meal when it was time to eat, and someone would wash the dirty clothes wherever they were thrown away. Now it's better. They have to wash the clothes and cook the meals for the whole family. When there is no water or firewood, they have to ask their own men to help, and they have to reluctantly complain that they use too much money and don't know how to save.
"That He Zhen, who doesn't do anything now, knows to eat ready-made clothes. The clothes I washed for him yesterday were unclean!" The more Zheng Shi said, the more resentful she became. No matter what, she was his sister-in-law. Talking to her in a different tone, "A brother is so lazy, no wonder Qi Yue doesn't look down on him!"
Before she could finish her words, Liu shi pinched her waist, she turned her head in dissatisfaction, and saw He Zhen standing at the door of the kitchen with a calm face.
Speaking ill of people behind their backs, being listened to by others, and somewhat guilty, Zheng Shi smiled awkwardly, "Brother Zhen, is it your mother who asked you to rush the meal?"
"Humph!" He Zhen sneered and said, "You are diligent, but unfortunately you can't even give birth to a son, so you have to give birth to a loser!"
He was talking about the pain point of the Zheng family. She married He Gui for three years and gave birth to a skinny little girl. He Tian and Qian's attitude towards her were obviously inferior to that of Liu, who gave birth to a son. Unwilling, He Zhen still exposed her scar in front of her face like this, and she was annoyed at once, "A money-losing thing?! So, you are a money-losing thing that people don't want!!"
He Zhen's expression immediately became particularly hideous, he walked over a few steps and slapped her face directly.
His slap came so suddenly, neither Liu nor Zheng could react. Zheng was hit straight. She covered her face and turned her head in disbelief, "How dare you hit me?!"
"How about hitting you?" He Zhen didn't apologize at all and looked at her for granted.
"He Zhen!" Zheng Shi screamed and grabbed his hair, and scratched his face with the other hand.
He Zhen didn't think that she would fight back, so she couldn't dodge.
"You guys, don't fight!" Liu Shi wanted to pull them away, but she didn't know where to start. Both of them were waving their hands and scratching, and she was afraid that she would be affected.
"What's this for?!" He Tian, Qian Shi, He Fu and He Gui, who heard the movement, ran in, and He Tian looked at them angrily.
Qian Shi hurriedly asked his two sons to drag them away. There was a stove next to them, so what if it was hot!
When they were separated, their hair was a mess, and there were marks from each other's scratches on their faces. Qian hurriedly held He Zhen's face to check, looking at the bloody nail prints, and pointed at Zheng's nose. He scolded, "Well, you bitch, look what you scratched my brother Zhen's face, are you going to rebel?!"
Zheng Shi was also scratched and hurt, and Qian Shi even scolded her. Naturally, she refused to obey. When she opened her mouth, she was about to talk back, but He Gui stopped him. He smiled at Qian Shi, "Mother, calm down, you should hurry Let someone show it to Zhener, it will be bad if you leave a scar!"
Qian stabbed her fiercely before taking He Zhen out, and the others followed.
Zheng Shi pushed He Gui away, "Are you still a man? I've been bullied like this, and you still turn to him!"
"Oh my good daughter-in-law!" He Gui hugged her shoulders, "Don't forget the fifty taels of silver in your mother's hand. Before we get it out, please bear with it!"
When the letter of appointment was officially issued, Qi Yue gave the fifty taels of silver under the witness of the village chief, and was kept in Qian's hands, and they never saw each other.
When it comes to the matter of silver, Mrs. Zheng calmed down a bit, but she was still a little unwilling. "But is it just bullying by any Zhen? What if your mother left him the money?"
He Gui patted her shoulder to reassure, "Don't worry, no matter how much my mother loves He Zhen, he will marry out, and protecting him is just because he is afraid that he won't be able to marry a good family, and he will give his parents to old age in the future. It's not me and my eldest brother, we can please her more, can't we get more points!"
When he said this, Zheng Shi also wanted to understand. No matter how mad He Zhen is, she still wants to marry, and it will not hinder her eyes. If he can't change his temper in the future, his in-law's family will take care of him. . Thinking of this, Zheng's heart is much more relaxed.
Qian sent He Fu to call Li Langzhong, and dragged He Zhen back to the house, holding his face and carefully looking at the nail prints, "What if there are scars?"
I didn't care about that much when we were fighting just now, but now He Zhen starts to get nervous. The girl and brother care about her face the most, and she doesn't want to have any flaws, "Mother, don't scare me!"
"You know what you're afraid of now? You said why did you do it with her!" Qian Shi saw that the nail prints were all shallow, and it should be fine with some medicine, so he was relieved.
Seeing that Qian Shi was still in the mood to teach herself a lesson, it was okay to think about it. He Zhen heaved a sigh of relief, and began to raise her hands to comb her messy hair, "No one wants her to say that I will post upside down!"
"This second daughter-in-law is getting more and more courageous! If she makes you angry again, tell me, you are not at a disadvantage yourself!" Qian Shi patted his leg and told him not to be stupid next time.
"Yeah!" He Zhen responded, straightened her hair, and then whispered, "Mother, does the method you told me before really work?"
Qian Shi knew what he was talking about, and lowered his voice, "Of course, it's for the sake of face, and he has to suffer!"
"Mother~" He Zhen was unhappy when he heard Qian said that he was at a disadvantage.
"Wrong or wrong, it's a blessing, it's a blessing!" Qian Shi hurriedly changed his words.
He Zhen's face finally burst into a smug smile, what should He Ling do when she sees it!
The day before the wedding, He Ling had to go back to the He family. At that time, he would marry from the He family. This was the condition that was negotiated with the He family from the beginning.
He dragged the clock until dinner, and it was dark for a long time before Qi Yue planned to take him there. Mrs. Fang was afraid that the two juniors would not be able to say anything, so they came together.
On the road, Mr. Fang kept holding He Ling's hand and explained that after returning, he would stay in the house and not go out, and ignore what the He family told him to do. In the past, because of the rumors in the village and He Ling's appearance, although she sympathized with him, she didn't deal with him very much. In the past two weeks, she liked his temperament more and more.
He Ling saw Fang's face full of worry, and was very moved. Except for the time when he lived with his father when he was a child, no elder had ever cared about him like this, "You don't have to worry!"
"Why can't I be worried? There isn't a good family in that family!" In Fang's opinion, sending He Ling back to the He family is no different from sending a rabbit to a wolf's den.
"I'll take care of myself!" He Ling knew what she was worried about, but thinking about it, they wouldn't do anything to her anymore.
Qi Yue walked beside him and felt uneasy in his heart, but he didn't say anything, just raised his hand and lightly wrapped his shoulders.
He Ling felt the hand on his shoulder, turned back to Qi Yue and stared into his eyes gently, he blushed, but did not avoid his eyes.
Seeing that he didn't lower his head, the smile on Qi Yue's face became even stronger.
When Mr. Fang saw the interaction between the two, his expression was not so worried, and his heart was also relieved.
Qi Yue put down the hand that was holding He Ling, and took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, similar to the one he gave to He Ling before, he stuffed the bottle into the hands of the people beside him, and said, "You put this close to your body, if they If you dare to bully you again, just throw it away."
"Kid Qi, what is this?" Mrs. Fang looked at the small bottle and was very curious.
"It's a drug!" Qi Yue hooked his lips with a smile. The bottle is indeed a drug, but it's more powerful and makes people sleep longer. Although he has many more vicious medicines, it would be bad if he frightened his little husband.
"Drugged?" Mrs. Fang thought for a while, clapped her hands, and said with joy, "This thing is good, if they touch you, let them lie down on the ground and fall asleep!"
After listening to his explanation, He Ling stuffed the medicine bottle in his sleeve and put it away.
When the three arrived at He's house and called for the door, Qian quickly responded and opened the door that was hidden.
As soon as she saw He Ling, she almost didn't recognize it. Usually in their house, He Ling was dressed in gray, with her head down and timid. Now, wearing silk clothes, her face is ruddy, and her attitude is much more natural. She looks more attractive than before, she thought, she is really a fox!
No matter what she thought in her heart, Qian Shi still greeted them with a smile on her face, "Brother Ling, when you're not here, auntie misses you!"
Fang pouted, feeling that she was hypocritical and wanted He Ling to come back to work for her!
Qi Yue and He Ling went directly to the house where he lived. Seeing the shabby environment again, Qi Yue frowned lightly, "You should bring a quilt!"
"It doesn't matter, it's just one night!" He Ling didn't care, he had lived here for more than ten years, and it was not bad for this night.
Qi Yue sighed lightly, feeling that he didn't think carefully, "I'll go home and get it for you later!"
"No, don't be so troublesome, I'll just sleep for one night, it'll be fine!" He Ling quickly refused, all the things that Qi Yue bought at home were good things, and it would be too wasteful to store them in such a place.
Seeing that he insisted, Qi Yue had no choice but to put the package in his hand on the bed, where was He Ling's wedding dress.
After the two said a few more words, Qi Yue went out, and Mrs. Fang and Mrs. Qian also had a good talk. The other thing was to tell her to stop touching He Ling, so many eyes were watching!
After sending both of them out the door, the smile on Qian's face disappeared, and he rolled his eyes and went back to the house, to see how long Fang could be proud of!
