Qian's sneer came from behind, "What's so strange about marrying a girl when she grows up? She wants to stay at home all the time, and she's not afraid of being laughed at."
Li Qinghe stopped when he entered the door, turned around and said, "My father is only my daughter, don't you want me to marry you?"
Recruiting a wife is just talk, if Li Qinghe is really allowed to stay at home to recruit a wife, she will not do it, as for the two true loves, it is better to leave them at home lovingly.
She came as soon as she opened her mouth, but Qian Shi was choked by the words, and looked at her back suspiciously until she disappeared.
During dinner, Li Fu held the bowl, coughed, and asked, "Qing He, do you want to stay at home and recruit?"
Li Qinghe hummed and buried himself in his meal.
Qian didn't raise her eyes, as if what she said had nothing to do with her. But only Li Qinghe and Qian shi knew about recruiting a wife. Although Zhao Wanwan might have heard it, she was not talkative. It must not be her, then it can only be Qian Shi.
Li Fu picked up vegetables with his chopsticks, and said, "It's better for a girl to marry. What kind of good person can you get if you recruit a wife? A better man knows that a man who is motivated will not agree to marry a husband. If he is idle, he will take care of you or You take care of him?"
"I don't want to mention marriage for the time being." Li Qinghe put down his chopsticks, "Father, is that why you don't want to keep me? Seeing your posture, you wish I could get married tomorrow."
Li Fu frowned, "What's your attitude? I heard that you want to recruit a wife, and I'm discussing with you. After all, it's for your own good. Who said you're going to get married?"
Li Qinghe looked at Qian Shi with a sneer, and asked, "Dad, who did you hear that I wanted to hire a wife? Also, people came to see you today, isn't it urging me to get married?"
She looked at Mrs. Qian, "I left early and returned late at this house for two years. Now that my work is gone, there is no place for me at home, right?"
Li Fu frowned, and knocked on the table with his chopsticks, "Don't look at your Aunt Qian, she is also doing it for your own good."
Li Qinghe did not show any weakness, and did not soften her tone and attitude because Li Fu was her father, "She only has you in her eyes, where is my place? Please don't do it for my own good, I am afraid that I will marry into the Qian family Treat people like cows and horses to support those two scholars!"
"What kind of talk is this!" Li Fu was anxious, "Then what's wrong with being full? I think you don't know what's good!"
Li Qinghe answered quickly, "He's good in everything, but he has a brother and an uncle who study, whoever marries is unlucky! Anyway, I don't marry, and whoever accepts the betrothal gift from the Qian family will marry himself!"
The last sentence is a warning to Qian.
She is really capable of accepting the dowry secretly. Especially she is very good at superficiality. When Li Fu was around, she was always gentle and virtuous.
Qian patted Li Fu's arm, "It's time to eat, don't make any noise, the child will be too angry to eat."
"I won't be overwhelmed. If you are full, eat slowly." Li Qinghe said indifferently.
Qian choked, her eye circles turned red again. Li Fu was busy comforting again, Li Qinghe took the opportunity to go out, followed by Zhao Wanwan.
"Do you want to go out for a walk?" It was still dark, and Li Qinghe wanted to go to the field to have a look. When measuring today, he didn't actually observe much.
Zhao Wanwan shook her head, "I have to clean up the dishes later."
Li Qinghe was silent for a moment, Zhao Wanwan had almost done all the housework outside the house except for cooking, if she hadn't gone to town to help out, she wouldn't see anyone during the day, and basically didn't eat at home, maybe the neighbors around should have Li's family Gossip about abusing the Zhao family girl.
"Sister, go by yourself." Seeing her silence, Zhao Wanwan whispered.
If it wasn't for the quiet surroundings, Li Qinghe wouldn't be able to hear her words clearly, "I won't go either, I'll wash the dishes for you."
She stayed at home all day and couldn't do nothing.
In the early morning of the next day, it was getting bright outside, and there were voices outside. Li Qinghe got up to go out, and saw Zhao Wanwan's own uncle, who was Qian's younger brother, standing at the gate.
As for this person, Li Qinghe only heard from the people around him that he was not good enough, and said that he was studying, but in fact, he took up everything from eating, drinking, prostitution and gambling, and spent a lot of money every month.
Qian's helpless voice came from the gate, "That's all I have."
A young man's greasy voice followed, full of dissatisfaction, "What are these few pennies enough for? There are not enough buns to eat. Didn't it mean that Li Qinghe paid ten taels of silver, just give me two taels!"
Mrs. Qian was a little anxious, "I didn't get the money...you hurry up, don't let your brother-in-law see you coming."
The greasy voice was lazy, without Qian's anxiety at all, "You are her mother, even if you are a stepmother, you have brought her up, so I should honor you, but I don't give you all, should I have half?" Gradually The tone of the ground was cruel, "Don't lie to me, bring it quickly."
"No!" Qian seemed to be about to cry.
"Sure enough, she's trash. Women are soft-hearted. She's a little girl, so what can you do if you take everything from her?" Qian Laiwen said viciously.
Standing under the eaves, Li Qinghe heard the whole story from beginning to end, and never thought that Qian Laiwen was such a stingy person. Looking at the hostility in his eyebrows and eyes, it can be seen that he is not ruthless, but he really thinks so.
"With your brother-in-law here, how can we do anything to her?" Qian's grievance became more and more serious. Let alone fighting, she refused to give up even an inch when she quarreled with Li Qinghe. There was no respect for her as a stepmother in her expression and attitude, and she could not be counted on. My daughter is soft-tempered, so I can't count on it. I only hope that Li Fu dies later, and... the only person I can count on is this younger brother. Ten years younger than her, young enough to treat him well, sincerely for sincerely, and Qian Laiwen will repay her in the future.
Thinking of this, Qian took out another coin, took out a dime again, and stuffed it into his arms, "It's really gone, let's go."
Qian Laiwen was pushed away, Li Qinghe came out from the shadows, and saw Zhao Wanwan standing on the door frame of the kitchen at a glance, she didn't know how long she had been looking at her, her expression was sad and resentful, complex and unspeakable.
