This is really impossible to persuade.
Li Qinghe thought for a while, and suggested, "If it's another person, I can still mention it to my mother, but now it's definitely not possible. Or, I can help you tell my mother that this marriage will be put on hold later?" Let it go, maybe she won't have this thought anymore.
Fifth Sister nodded, "Thank you Fourth Sister-in-law, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't dare to say it."
Li Qinghe felt that it was necessary for her to correct the girl's thinking, and said sternly, "Fifth sister, in fact, life is not as simple as marrying someone who is reliable, you have to look at the ability of the other person, at least you must be able to support her." You, for example, if you are sick, he has to be able to hire a doctor and afford medicine, and if you are pregnant, he can afford to buy eggs and meat... Also, the people in this family are also very important. There should not be too many people, There can't be that kind of ignorance of self-knowledge..."
This is too much to say, Fifth Younger Sister listened, and gradually laughed, "Sister-in-law Fourth, according to what you say, I'm afraid I won't be able to get married."
Seeing her smile, Li Qinghe relaxed slightly, "If you are willing to take a step back for him, you have to think it's worth it. To put it bluntly, the same goes for your fourth brother. He is not the best candidate for marriage, but I do, and he deserves it."
Zhou Chengkang heard this when he walked to the door, and the smile on the corner of his mouth softened.
Hearing the movement, Fifth Sister turned around, saw her brother came back, and hurriedly stood up, "I have to go back, Fourth Sister-in-law, I will come tomorrow to ask you for the size, and I will give you the pair when they are finished."
After Fifth Younger Sister left, Zhou Chengkang entered the door and held her in his arms, "Let's talk about what I just said, I want to hear it."
The laughter of the husband and wife came out through the door, and Fifth Sister, who hadn't gone far, looked back, thinking
In fact, the most important thing is to be happy with each other.
It was not a lie that Li Qinghe said earlier that he was going to the county seat. The restaurants in the town did not use much fish. It has been a few months and they have not used half of them. After the fish in the pond have grown up, the last period It is not cost-effective to raise, because the fish eats the food, but the fish do not grow very much.
The two found a time, fished for a day, and left the village in the middle of the night. Without telling anyone, they went directly to the county town.
Li Qinghe had never been to the county seat in two lifetimes, but Zhou Chengkang had been there a few times, and it took a day and a night to drive a horse-drawn carriage.
There is an official road from the town to the county seat, and I haven't heard of anyone robbing the road nearby. However, the two dared not stop along the way, the fish would die if they were bored for too long, and they had brought dry food. After rushing for a day and night, when they arrived at the county seat, it was still dark and the city gate was closed, but there were many people blocking the gate, most of them were vegetable farmers who went in to sell vegetables after dawn.
The carriages lined up, and Li Qinghe was so bored that he opened the curtain. Curious people will see several barrels of fish on the car at a glance, and someone immediately asks, "How do you sell this fish?"
"Eighteen cents a catty." Li Qinghe thought that the delivery price to the restaurant in the town was twelve cents, and it would be more expensive to transport it so far.
Hearing the price, the man's eyes lit up, he squeezed forward, and said, "I'll choose one."
Not only him, but several people around him want to buy it.
The two were a little stunned. They never expected that the business would start before entering the city.
By the time the vegetable farmers surrounding the two dispersed, the fish in the carriage had already decreased by 30%. Li Qinghe lowered his voice, "Is it because the two of us sold it too cheaply?"
Zhou Chengkang shook his head, "I don't know. The pond where I went to help feed the fish is more than half the distance from us. I only helped feed them for a few days. I don't know their selling price."
It should be that the fish seller in Liujia Village also bought it there, and he didn't go so far from the county town. If it was really bought in the county town, it should be more expensive.
When the two were selling fish just now, they inquired about the place where the fish was sold. It was a warm-hearted aunt who said she would lead the way.
Since she wanted someone to lead the way, Li Qinghe simply let her get into the carriage.
The aunt is talkative, "Your fish are cheaper than those in the city, two cents less per catty. If it's not too hard to get, I'll buy one too."
Li Qinghe smiled, "You helped us, and when we get to the place in a while, I'll sell you one for fifteen cents."
Hearing this, the aunt was overjoyed, "You mean what you say?"
Li Qinghe waved his hand generously and said, "It's definitely true."
The aunt immediately became happier, and told the two of the places in the city where fish can be sold, including which ones are lively, and how much the stalls charge for each place. Excited to leave.
The county town was really lively, and the fish they both had was sold out before morning.
After the fish was sold out, the two found a restaurant to sit down. Li Qinghe looked at the bustling crowd outside, smiled and said in a low voice, "In the future, when our fish grow up, we can send them here. It's farther away. But it sells fast."
There is another reason, the uncle who sells fish in the town, if they go to sell fish, it will inevitably affect his business, you must know that he is the only one, the last time the two sold fish, his eyes made people feel uncomfortable . Li Qinghe also understood, and because of this, the two of them didn't set up a stall anymore, but sent them to restaurants, which actually affected him, because those restaurants used to take the fish from him.
The place is not big, but there are such disadvantages. This time the two came here to test the waters.
The two of them waited until they had finished their meal, and then went shopping in the streets. The streets of the county town were wide, and there were all kinds of horses, carts and ox carts on the road, as well as clothes, some wore patches, but there were also wealthy people in silk and satin with entourage.
The two went to the cloth shop, Li Qinghe bought some fabrics, and brought Yu Yan some exquisite embroidery thread, and couldn't resist buying some beautiful dishes. The two of them moved to a new house, and they had to prepare all these.
Compared with the town, the price here is not cheap, even slightly more expensive, but there are more choices, such as fabrics, there are always hundreds of kinds, but in the town, there are only a few items to choose from.
Now that they have come, the two of them are not in a hurry to go back, so they stay in the inn near the gate of the city, planning to stay one night and go back during the day.
The two of them had been with the fish for the past two days, and they only felt that their bodies smelled of fish. Zhou Chengkang gave Yinzi and asked the waiter to bring some hot water in.
It was a young woman who brought in the water. Li Qinghe turned her head inadvertently, her back was very familiar, and she was suddenly surprised, "Wanwan?"
It was indeed Zhao Wanwan, dressed in dark coarse cloth, carrying a bucket of water and pouring it into the bathtub. Hearing the sound, the bucket in her hand slipped and fell directly into the bathtub, and she hurriedly took it out.
Li Qinghe stepped forward to help, took a handkerchief and wiped the water off her face, "Why are you here?"
Zhao Wanwan saw her, looked her up and down, then took a step back, "I'm working here. Why is my sister here?"
"I'm here to sell fish." Li Qinghe saw that her sleeves were wet, and pointed, "Sleeves."
Zhao Wanwan put down the bucket and rushed to grab it.
This girl is also a bitter one. Looking at her like this, she knows that life is not good. Li Qinghe sighed faintly and asked, "I heard that your father is here, did he find you?"
"My father? No." Zhao Wanwan looked blank, "I've never seen him before."
The two sisters stood speechless for a while, but Li Qinghe couldn't help it, and asked, "What's the matter with you? Didn't you say that you have a bad reputation for your brother-in-law here?"
Zhao Wanwan lowered her head and looked at the ground, "I live in the inn, and I don't know him. I don't usually go out. There are not many people in this county who know us, and even fewer people know our relationship. From now on... from now on And no one will know."
Li Qinghe couldn't persuade her about the matter between husband and wife. No one forced Zhao Wanwan to work here, she was willing. After a while, I could only say, "I'll go home tomorrow, if you want to go home, I can take you along."
"I won't go back." Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I have something to do over there, and I will be scolded if the water is delivered late." After saying that, she turned and went out.
Li Qinghe called out a few times, but she didn't seem to hear her. She watched her disappear outside before turning around and entering the door.
Later, it was a woman who came in to collect the water. Li Qinghe asked her about the person who delivered the water, and the woman sighed, "That girl has a hard life, her parents are gone, her husband is gone, it's too miserable."
Li Qinghe: "..." Mrs. Qian is still at home and is angry with Li Fu. Zhao Tianfu said he came to see her, even if he didn't come, he would be fine. Li Fu, the stepfather, also eats it.
I didn't expect this girl to lie, she just opened her mouth and made up a pitiful life experience for herself.
If she didn't know the inside story, she would have burst into tears of pity just by looking at the woman's face full of pity.
In the early morning of the next day, the two refunded the deposit, and when the person with the carriage in the back was about to leave, Zhao Wanwan appeared out of nowhere, "Sister, please tell my mother that my place is fine, so don't worry about it." , When I get better, I will show filial piety to her." He said, and handed her a bundle, "This is the clothes I made for her."
Li Qinghe took it, but when he looked up, he couldn't see anyone again. There are several corridors in this inn, and it is impossible to tell where she went through.
The two of them got into the carriage and left the inn, without any delay along the way, they headed for the gate of the city.
When I came here, the carriage was full of barrels. When I went back, the barrels were piled up, and the carriage was also full. There were cloths, dishes, messes, and even snacks from the county.
When they went back, the two of them were not in a hurry, the carriage was slow, but in the afternoon, the carriage stopped suddenly.
Li Qinghe poked his head out, "What's wrong?"
Zhou Chengkang pointed, "There is a puppy on the road ahead."
Needless to say, Li Qinghe had already seen it. On the official road near the side of the road, a dark yellow puppy was whining, and there seemed to be blood on its hind legs.
Li Qinghe straightened up, saw that it seemed to be fine except for the leg injury, and suggested with a smile, "Didn't you say you want to keep a dog, and if you meet me on the road, it's also a fate, why don't you take it back?"
As he said that, he jumped out of the carriage and excitedly ran to see the "destined" dog.
Zhou Chengkang was stunned for a moment, then shook his head with a smile after he realized it, jumped out of the carriage, and asked with a smile, "Do you want to help?"
The puppy's hind legs were injured, and the leg bones were bent unnaturally. It was unknown whether it was beaten or crushed by the carriage.
Li Qinghe picked it up, and the two of them got into the carriage again, "We don't know how to set bones, so we need to see a doctor for this?"
Zhou Chengkang nodded. The puppy was left here, and the village could be seen faintly in front of him. He looked at the sky, "Why don't we go to the village to see if there is any doctor who is good at setting bones? By the way, stay overnight."
The two of them were in the wilderness that night, and they could still hear wolves howling, so they didn't dare to fall asleep. It would be best if they could stay overnight.
