The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 52

This is really impossible to persuade.

Li Qinghe thought for a while and suggested, “If I change someone, I can still mention it to my mother, but this is definitely not possible now, or I will help you tell my mother that this marriage will be put aside later?” Put it aside, maybe she doesn’t think about it.

Sister Wu nodded, “Thank you Sister-in-law, I wouldn’t dare to say it if it wasn’t for you.”

Li Qinghe felt that it was necessary for her to correct the girl’s thoughts and said with a serious face, “Fifth sister, in fact, it is not as simple as marrying whoever is reliable. You have to look at the abilities of others, at least you can afford it. You, for example, if you are sick, he has to pay a doctor and he can afford medicine, if he is pregnant, he can afford eggs and meat… Also, the people in this family are also very important. There should not be too many people. , There can be no one who does not know self-knowledge…”

This is too much to say, Wu Mei listened, and gradually laughed, “Sister-in-law, according to you, I’m afraid I can’t get married.”

Seeing her smile, Li Qinghe relaxed slightly, “You are willing to retreat for him, and you have to feel worth it. It’s not good to say that, and your fourth brother is the same. In terms of relatives, he is not the last good candidate, but I am willing, and he is worth it.”

Zhou Chengkang heard this when he walked to the door, and the smile on the corner of his mouth became gentle.

Hearing the movement, the fifth sister turned around and saw her brother came back. She stood up hurriedly, “I have to go back, Sister-in-law, tomorrow I will ask you for the size, and I will help you take this pair after finishing.”

When the fifth sister was gone, Zhou Chengkang walked in, reached out and hugged her into his arms, “I’ll talk about what I just said, I want to hear.”

The laughter of the couple came out across the door, and the fifth sister who had not yet gone far turned her head, thoughtful

In fact, the most important thing is to be happy.

Earlier, Li Qinghe said that he was going to the county town. It’s not a lie. The few restaurants in the town don’t use a lot of fish. They haven’t used half of them in the past few months. After the fish in the pond has grown, the last period of time It is not cost-effective to raise, because the fish are eaten as food, but the fish do not grow very much.

The two of them found time, fished for a day, and left the village in the middle of the night. Without telling anyone, they went straight to the county seat.

Li Qinghe has never been to the county town in his two lifetimes, but Zhou Chengkang has been there several times. It takes a day and a night to drive a carriage.

There is an official road from the town to the county seat, and no one has heard of robbery nearby. However, the two dared not stop along the way, the fish would die if they were bored for too long, and they brought dry food. After a day and night, when they arrived at the county seat, it was still dark and the gate was not open, but many people were blocked at the gate. Most of them were vegetable farmers who went in after dawn to sell vegetables.

The carriage lined up, Li Qinghe was bored with the fish and opened the curtain. Curious people will see several barrels of fish in the car with a glance, and someone immediately asked, “How can this fish be sold?”

“Eighteen liters per catty.” Li Qinghe thought that the delivery restaurant in town had twelve liters. How could it be more expensive after transporting so far.

Hearing the price, the man’s eyes lit up, his body squeezed forward, and he said, “I choose one.”

Not only him, but many people around him want to buy it.

The two of them were a little stunned. They never expected that the business would begin before they entered the city.

When the vegetable growers surrounding the two of them dispersed, the fish in the carriage was 30% less. Li Qinghe lowered his voice, “Aren’t we both selling too cheaply?”

Zhou Chengkang shook his head, “I don’t know, I went to the pond to help feed the fish, which is closer to half the distance than us. I just helped feed for a few days and I don’t know their selling price.”

It should be that the fish seller in Liujia Village bought it there too, not as far as the county seat. If it is really taken in the county seat, it should be more expensive.

When they were selling fish, the two of them inquired about the place where the fish was sold. She was an enthusiastic aunt and said that she was leading the way.

Since she wanted someone to lead the way, Li Qinghe simply let her get on the carriage.

Auntie is a talkative, “You fish, it’s cheaper than in the city, and one catty is less than two cents. If it’s not too bad, I will buy one too.”

Li Qinghe smiled, “You helped us, and when we got there in a while, I would sell you one for 15 articles.”

Hearing this, the auntie was overjoyed, “Speaking counts?”

Li Qinghe looked generous and waved, “Absolutely count.”

The auntie was immediately happier. She told them about several places in the city where fish can be sold, including which ones are lively, and how much stalls they charge for. After arriving at the place, she picked the one that she thought was the biggest, and she was very happy. Xing’s gone.

The county town was really lively, and their fish was sold out before morning.

After the fish was sold out, the two of them found a restaurant and sat there. Li Qinghe looked at the crowd outside and laughed and said in a low voice, “After 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 sell fish, it will inevitably affect his business. You must know that he is the only family. The last time the two of them sold fish, his eyes were uncomfortable. . Li Qinghe also understood that because of this, the two did not go to the stalls anymore, but sent them to the restaurant. In fact, it also affected him. The restaurants used to take the fish from him.

The place is not big, but there is such a drawback. This time they came here to test the waters.

The two waited to finish their meal, and then went shopping. The county’s streets were wide and there were all kinds of carriages and carts on the road. The clothes were also patched, but there were also wealthy people wearing silk and satin with entourage.

The two went to the cloth shop. Li Qinghe bought some fabrics and brought Yu Yan with some exquisite embroidery threads. They couldn’t help but bought some nice dishes. The two moved to a new house and they had to prepare these.

Compared to the town, the price here is not cheap, or even faintly more expensive, but there are more choices, such as fabrics, there are always hundreds of kinds, and in the town, only those few can be selected.

It was all here, and the two of them went back in no hurry. They stayed in the inn near the gate of the city, planning to stay for one night and go back in the daytime.

The two of them stayed with the fish for the past two days. They only felt the fishy smell on their bodies. Zhou Chengkang gave silver to let the guy prepare some hot water in.

The one who brought water in was a young woman. Li Qinghe turned her head inadvertently. He was very familiar with his back, and was suddenly surprised, “Wan Wan?”

It was indeed Zhao Wanwan, dressed in a dark coarse cloth, carrying a bucket of water into the tub. Upon hearing the sound, the bucket in her hand slipped and fell directly into the tub. She hurriedly carried it out.

Li Qinghe stepped forward to help, took the veil and wiped her face with water, “Why are you here?”

Zhao Wanwan saw her, looked up and down, stepped back, “I’m working here. Why did my sister come?”

“I’ll sell fish.” Li Qinghe pointed at her sleeves when she saw her wet sleeves.

Zhao Wanwan put down the bucket and was busy with it.

This girl is also a bitter. Seeing that she knows that her life is not good, Li Qinghe sighed and asked, “I heard that your father is here. Did you find you?”

“My dad? No.” Zhao Wanwan looked blank, “I have never seen him.”

The two sisters stood, speechless for a while, Li Qinghe couldn’t help but asked, “What’s the matter with you? Didn’t you mean you have a bad reputation for brother-in-law here?”

Zhao Wanwan lowered her head and looked at the ground, “I live in an inn and don’t know him. I don’t usually go out. Not many people in this county know us, and even fewer people know our relationship. Later… No one will know about it in the future.”

Li Qinghe couldn’t persuade her husband and wife. Zhao Wanwan worked here, and no one forced her to work. She was willing. After a long while, I had to say, “I will go home tomorrow. If you want to go home, I can take you by the way.”

“Don’t go back.” Zhao Wanwan shook her head, “I have something to do, and I will be scolded if the water is delivered late.” She said, she turned and went out.

Li Qinghe yelled a few times, but she didn’t even hear her. She looked at her disappearing 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 gave the water. The woman sighed, “That girl is a bitter girl, her parents are gone, and her husband is gone. It’s too miserable.”

Li Qinghe: “…” Qian is still at home, and he is angry with Li Fu. Zhao Tianfu said to come to her, even if he didn’t come, he would be fine. Li Fu, the stepfather, shouldn’t he eat it too?

Unexpectedly, this girl would actually lie, and she opened her mouth and made up a poor life experience for herself.

If she didn’t know the inside story, it would depend on the pity of the mother-in-law, she couldn’t help but tears of sympathy.

Early the next morning, the two refunded their deposits. When they were preparing to leave behind the carriage, Zhao Wanwan came out from nowhere, “Sister, please tell my mother, I’m pretty good here, let her not worry , I’ll be better in the future, and respect her well.” As he said, he also handed over a baggage, “This is the clothes I made for her.”

Li Qinghe took it, and when he raised his eyes, he couldn’t see anyone again. There were several corridors in this inn, and it was impossible to tell where she went.

The two set up a carriage and left the inn, and without delay on the way, they headed to the gate of the city.

When I came, the carriage was full of barrels. When I returned, the barrels were piled up, and a carriage filled with cloth, dishes, mess, and even snacks from the county.

When they returned, the two of them were not in a hurry, and the carriage was sluggish, and in the afternoon, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Li Qinghe stuck his head out, “What’s the matter?”

Zhou Chengkang pointed his finger, “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 his hind legs.

Li Qinghe straightened up and saw that it seemed okay except for a leg injury. He smiled and suggested, “You didn’t mean to raise a dog. If you meet on the road, it is also considered predestined. Why don’t you take it back?”

With that said, people have jumped out of the carriage and rushed to see the “destined” dog.

Zhou Chengkang was stunned for a moment. After reacting, he smiled and shook his head, jumped out of the carriage, and asked with a smile, “Do you want to help?”

The puppy’s hind leg was injured, and the leg bones were unnaturally bent. I don’t know if it was beaten or pressed by a carriage.

Li Qinghe picked it up, and the two got into the carriage again, “We can’t get bones together. We need a doctor to treat this, right?”

Zhou Chengkang nodded, and the puppy was thrown here. He could see the village faintly in front of him. He looked at the sky, “Why don’t we go to the village to see if there is a doctor who is good at bones?”

The two of them were in the wilderness that night, and they could still hear the wolf howling, and they didn’t dare to sleep well. It would be best if they could stay overnight.

The author has something to say: see you at 11 tonight.
