Chapter 22: Confrontation

Views:

Well, Li Qinghe still felt guilty, "Mom, why are you back?"

Mrs. Xu is indeed angry, but the new uncle is here, even if she has a lot of dissatisfaction with the Zhou family, if it is not necessary to make a marriage now, no one will retreat. No matter what the reason is, it is because the reputation of the girl's family has been damaged, so she restrained herself now. Angry, "You are engaged, why didn't you tell me?"

Li Qinghe spread his hands, "It's just an engagement, and I know it's not easy for you to go out."

"Then you can always come to the town and let me know who you are going to marry before you get engaged?" She looked at Zhou Chengkang and looked him up and down, "Are you the fourth child of the Zhou family?"

Zhou Chengkang hurriedly smiled and said, "Aunt Xu, you have a really good memory, you still remember me."

Xu raised her eyebrows, "I still remember when you ran around the village like a mud monkey."

Zhou Chengkang, "..." This memory is really good!

"Aunt Xu, we've been a little busy lately. This engagement is really hasty. It's my fault." Zhou Chengkang admitted his mistake with a good attitude, "Don't worry, it won't be like this when we get married. I will take good care of Qinghe."

Xu has been in the town for a long time, and she really looks down on the Zhou family. In her opinion, it is better to find a home casually than in the village. At the beginning, she specially found Li Qinghe a job in the town. It was easy, and she didn't need to be exposed to the wind and sun. The girl's skin color was still very important. The second reason is that she doesn't want to leave her daughter at home for Qian Shi to study.

She took pains to get her daughter to the town just to get her out of the countryside, but she didn't expect that she would choose a farmer herself, especially when she was so poor.

After seeing Zhou Chengkang now, she felt less uncomfortable. The young man was slender and handsome, he was a little dark, but judging from his cautious appearance, it was obvious that he cared enough about Li Qinghe.

There was not much movement from the few people at the door, but there was a carriage, and Mrs. Qian soon noticed it. When she saw Mrs. Xu, she looked slightly embarrassed, "Sister is back? Come in and sit for a while."

The way you greet your guests.

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Xu pushed open the courtyard door and walked in, and even glanced left and right.

Since Mrs. Xu went to the town, she has never been back. Even if she gave something to her daughter, she still trusts someone. It should be that it is not so convenient for her to be a concubine.

Qian felt uncomfortable, "Sister, sit in the room, I'll make tea."

"No need to say hello, I know this family better than you." Xu waved his hand and looked at Li Qinghe, "Hurry up and enter the house, I have something to ask you."

Looking at Zhou Chengkang at the gate again, "Go back, go to town when you have time, and I'll make clothes for you."

This is what it means to agree to this marriage.

Zhou Chengkang immediately relaxed, "Thank you, Aunt Xu."

In the room, Mrs. Xu looked at her daughter who was as tall as herself, and sighed, "No matter what you think, you settled on the Zhou family, it's too poor."

"I choose people, not people." Li Qinghe said seriously, "By the way, I bought ten acres of wasteland in the west and raised fish."

Xu's eyes widened slightly, very surprised.

Li Qinghe spread his hands, "I'm really busy. Father and Aunt Qian urged me a few times that Wanwan was going to be engaged to the Hu family in the town. They said several times that I delayed Wanwan's marriage."

Mrs. Xu immediately became angry, "It's too much." Huo Ran got up, and it seemed that she was about to go out to find someone to settle accounts.

Li Qinghe hurriedly pulled her back, "You don't need it, just live on your own, and don't make me worry."

Mrs. Xu sighed, didn't sit down, and walked out, "It's okay, you often go to Zhang's house to see me and your brother. You two have a deeper relationship, and you can support each other in the future."

When she went out, she saw Qian Shi coming over with tea, and said with a smile, "Younger sister is really better at serving people than I am, but, if you can coax a man, don't bully my daughter, if you let me know that you bully Qinghe again ... It's easy to find another match in the town that is more suitable for the Hu family than you. If you don't believe me, try it!"

Qian's face was pale, "I'm not..."

Xu didn't want to listen to her explanation anymore, so he waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving."

Li Qinghe watched her get into the carriage and leave with complicated emotions. If it was said that Mrs. Xu treated her badly, that would not be the case. In her previous life, she had prepared a dowry for her, but in her eyes, the most important person was not her.

"Are you going to bring in rescuers again?" Qian's mocking voice sounded behind her, "It's a pity that your mother is a concubine, and she comes and goes in a hurry when she comes back."

Li Qinghe turned around, and she found that Qian's gentleness and consideration were only in front of Li Fu, and when he was away, he was also extremely mean, so she smiled and said, "My mother just left, do you want me to ask her to come back and talk to you again?" Fan?"

Qian Shi sneered, and returned to the kitchen with the teacup in hand.

Zhao Wanwan came out of the room at this moment, and said in a low voice, "Sister, I didn't apologize to you, did I?"

This is indeed not the case, this girl also helped her wash clothes, and sometimes left food for her, Li Qinghe nodded, "What's the matter?"

She blushed, "Aunt Xu just said..."

"Not at all." Li Qinghe said casually, "My mother doesn't have that much trouble."

Zhao Wanwan breathed a sigh of relief, and looked at the kitchen, "Sister, what do you mean by the Hu family? I said that I will come tomorrow, but my mother said that I probably won't be able to come tomorrow."

Li Qinghe got up and entered the door, "The autumn harvest will be in a few days, maybe after the autumn harvest."

Yes, it's autumn harvest.

Every family in the village is preparing things for the autumn harvest, and the weather is perfect these two days. Sure enough, when Li Fu came back a little later, he talked about the autumn harvest the day after tomorrow, and told Li Qinghe, "You and Wanwan don't need to go to the fields, just clean up the house and just cook the food. Aunt Qian and I will go to the fields together. "

Qian raised her head when she heard the words, hesitated to speak, and said for a while, "I'm inconvenient these two days, why not let Wanwan go..."
