Zhao Wanwan has never expressed her position on these matters. After Li Qinghe categorically refused, Xu's mother still did not give up, "I haven't thanked you for what happened yesterday morning, and I should give you a ride."
"No need." Li Qinghe refused again. Her face was cold and repulsive.
Xu's father became impatient, "We have to go back earlier, this ox cart is too hard, Chang Jie's legs can't bear it."
Watching the ox cart go away, Zhao Wanwan whispered beside her, "Sister, are you really giving up on Mr. Xu?"
Hearing this, Li Qinghe was curious, "Why do you think I have feelings for Mr. Xu?"
"Then you tried your best to save him, didn't you?" Zhao Wanwan took it for granted.
Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows, "Then I asked the Xu family for ten taels of silver? Besides, why didn't you mention me and the Zhou family's fourth brother?"
Zhao Wanwan said casually, "Ten taels of silver, if you are willing to marry the Xu family, you have to change your left hand for your right hand, which is the same as asking for a dowry. If you want to come, it will be two people. As for the fourth brother of the Zhou family..." She paused, "It seems None of them came to see you."
Li Qinghe had discovered it a long time ago, and Zhou Chengkang didn't know why this time. When she first came back, he wanted to run eight times a day. Since she bought the wasteland, it seemed that she couldn't see people very much.
If he had changed his mind, Li Qinghe wouldn't believe it. No one else knew, but she knew that Zhou Chengkang had guarded her tombstone in her last life and never married, so she built a thatched house and lived next to it. It didn't make sense that she hadn't married yet, but he flinched. .
While talking, the two sisters had already arrived at the entrance of the village. When they returned home, Mrs. Qian was setting up dinner. When she saw the two sisters coming in, she ignored Li Qinghe and told Zhao Wanwan, "Come in and serve the food."
Zhao Wanwan went into the kitchen with her head lowered, while Li Qinghe went back to the room and put away the money. When she went out, she heard Qian's cursing in the kitchen, "You damn girl, I'm doing it for your own good. What are you doing with the money? Be careful not to be deceived."
When Li Qinghe arrived at the kitchen door, she immediately saw Zhao Wanwan clutching her chest, where her copper plate should be. Qian scolded with a serious face, "I'm your mother. I don't have any other children. How can I have your money? If you didn't fall from me, I wouldn't bother to talk to you. Qinghe has so much money. , did you see that I asked?"
"Are you going to eat?" Li Qinghe asked leisurely with his arms folded.
Qian didn't know when Li Qinghe came, but when she looked up and saw her, she hurriedly suppressed the anger on her face, "Hurry up."
In fact, Li Qinghe is not hungry, but if he does not eat, he may be hungry later in the evening. The family sat down at the table in silence, and Qian handed a steamed bun to Li Fu, and said by the way, "The food has been coming down so fast recently, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch it." superior."
Thinking of something again, he looked at Li Qinghe and asked, "I heard that you bought food to honor your aunt?"
Li Qinghe put down his chopsticks, and was about to have a good argument with her, when Li Fu over there reprimanded him, "I won't starve you, and I can't stop you from eating? Parents live there By the way, it’s fine if we don’t send food, what’s wrong with Qinghe sending some over there? What are you doing so weirdly? You haven’t been filial to them for a day since you entered the door!”
It's rare that Li Fu actually got angry at Qian this time.
Feeling inexplicably happy, Li Qinghe should explain clearly, "I sent food because my grandpa cut the grass for me. My aunt didn't harvest the food in vain. Their whole family helped me clear the pond for two days. Even my grandma I’ve helped with the cooking.” But it’s not in vain.
Mrs. Qian didn't listen to her, and looked at Li Fu with red eyes again, "Is that because I don't want to honor the elderly? It's because they don't like me. If they didn't want to offer the dowry back then, how could I miss you for so many years?" , and now people in the village look down on me? Besides, when I came out from the Zhao family, my parents helped me reconcile the kiss. blame me!"
When it came to the end, I didn't eat any food and just cried.
"What are you talking about in front of the child?" Although Li Fu's tone of reprimand was still softened, "I don't blame you, it's the right thing for parents to send some food."
"Then I didn't say I shouldn't." Qian was very aggrieved, "If I just say a word, you will kill me."
Li Qinghe tore open the steamed buns, put some vegetables in, picked up the steamed buns and got up to go out. Not only could she not eat it here, she also felt a little nauseous.
If a seventeen- or eighteen-year-old girl was crying so hard that pear blossoms and rain were still pitiful, it would be completely different for this thirty-year-old woman in common clothes to hold her throat and cry.
Exhausted for the past two days, she fell asleep after returning to her room. When she got up the next morning, Qian Shi was already healed, and she went to the field with Li Fu to look at the crops. In the kitchen, Zhao Wanwan was making breakfast. Said, "Sister, if you hadn't come in yesterday, my mother would have taken away my coins."
Li Qinghe glanced at her, went to her side, picked up a knife and began to chop vegetables, and said casually, "You didn't give it yesterday, so it's hard to guarantee that she won't ask again."
Zhao Wanwan panicked, "Sister, what should I do?"
Li Qinghe smiled, "You think for yourself." In the end, she still has to learn to refuse. In her previous life, she was not familiar with Zhao Wanwan. In her impression, she was diligent in doing things, but timid and fearful. After she got married, she never saw her in the town.
However, judging from the relationship between the two, it is true that Zhao Wanwan is timid, but she is not stupid, she just hides when things happen.
Zhao Wanwan was silent for a while. The two sisters were preparing the meals and were setting them up. Many people passed by outside to the west of the village. Li Qinghe saw Xu and asked with a smile, "Auntie, you are in such a hurry, where are you going?"
Seeing her, Mrs. Xu didn't stop on her feet, and said quickly, "Someone is here to trouble the Zhou family, let me take a look!"
The Zhou family
Seeing that she was in such a hurry, it must have something to do with her, and remembering the verbal marriage between her daughter Qing Miao and Zhou Chengwu, Li Qinghe frowned, straightened her rolled up sleeves, and turned to the table setter. Zhao Wanwan said, "You don't have to wait for me to eat, I'll take a look."
The house of the Zhou family is the same as that of the surrounding houses, and the yard is very large. At this time, the originally empty yard was full of people, most of them were from the village, and in the middle were a group of people from other villages. There were men and women, and some Holding sticks and other objects, the person who came was not friendly at first glance, and the woman in charge shouted, "Let the Zhou family come out."
The mother-in-law still didn't forget to explain to the more and more people around, "We are a reasonable family, and we won't quarrel and make trouble when we are free, but the Zhou family doesn't care about human affairs! We only ask them to reason and don't fight!"
