Uncle Zhang took fifteen cents from his pocket and handed it to Liu Si, asking, "What are these people doing outside Yuan Qiu's house? Why haven't they started yet?"
Liu Si is a mason. He is an expert at building houses. He has also made a lot of money with this craft. He can be regarded as one of the richest households in the village.
Liu Si took over the task of demolishing the old house and building a new one for the Yuanqiu family, so Uncle Zhang naturally wanted to ask him.
Liu Si curled his lips and said in a very disdainful tone: "It's not that Xia Tieniu's family is blocking the demolition, saying that this is the Xia family's house and it's not up to outsiders to make the decision. It's really ridiculous. At the beginning, the Yuanqiu siblings Did their family ever help with a meal when meals were scarce? I still remember that the winter before last, Yuan Hao was ill, and Yuan Qiu braved the heavy snow to go to their house to borrow money for medical treatment. They were doing well, and the family sat in the house warming themselves by the fire and eating melon seeds. , he didn’t even open the door to Yuan Qiu. Fortunately, Yuan Hao came through later, but now it’s better. Seeing that his sister and brother are living better, he comes to the door and does this, it’s really a shame."
Yuan Qiu knew that this was what Liu Si told her on purpose. Now that Liu Si had taken over the big job of building a house for her family, he naturally wanted to curry favor with her boss. This was not unusual, but hearing that he was so damaging to Xia Tieniu's family , I still felt happy in my heart, so I smiled back at Liu Si and jumped out of the ox cart: "Uncle Zhang, let's take this ox cart to your house, lest some people look at it and get angry, I'll go and see what's going on first. Something happened."
"Sister, I'll go with you." Yuan Hao also jumped off the other oxcart and stood beside Yuan Qiu.
"Hey - isn't this sister and brother Yuan Qiu back?" The aunties who were watching the excitement turned around one after another and looked at Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hao walking slowly towards them. Their eyes were shocked. The two siblings had not seen each other for just a few days. Why? He seemed to be a different person, especially Xia Yuanqiu, whose skin was so white and tender that it could pinch water. His eyebrows, which used to be ordinary, now look as elegant as a daughter of a wealthy family.
"Yuanqiu, what kind of magic medicine have you taken? How come it has only been a few days and you seem to be a different person? Let us tell you about it so that we all can learn more about it." Ask questions.
Xia Yuanqiu's eyes flashed, and there was a gentle smile on the corner of his mouth, but his dark eyes were extremely cold: "I used to look like this, but you didn't see it."
Her reply was extremely vague and left people with unlimited room for imagination. Someone immediately answered: "When her parents were alive in Yuan Qiu, she was not like this, a pretty girl like a pink ball. She was just It's just darker. She hasn't had her parents to take care of her these years. She is a little girl. If she doesn't let her face become darker, there is no doubt that some bad people will have evil intentions. Now that the siblings are older, Yuan Qiu has also reached the age to talk about marriage. You should also show your true colors to others."
The crowd immediately echoed: "Yes, I think Yuan Qiu is much better than Jiang Jiachunyan. The Liu family has suffered a big loss this time."
It seems that Liu Cui's popularity in the village is really not good, everyone is trying their best to make fun of her, which shows that the difference in her character has reached the point of causing public outrage.
Yuan Qiu had no intention of chatting with a group of talkative women, so he pulled Yuan Hao through the crowd and came to his small courtyard.
Good guy, Xia Tieniu's family of four each moved a small stool and sat upright in the courtyard, their faces as dark as iron. When they saw Yuan Qiu and Yuan Hao coming back, they glared as if they were enemies.
