The Green Lotus Peasant Girl - Chapter 55

Not only her, Zhou Chengkang was also very surprised, “This money is for you to pay your debts. You will pay it back earlier. People will not rush you, so you are not in a hurry.”

No matter how good the relationship is, it hurts feelings when it gets involved. Zhou Mu’s silver has been owed for more than a year, and people will definitely feel uncomfortable. Sometimes when talking with a gun and a stick, I have to bear it here.

After a pause, he added, “Qing He also agreed.”

Mother Zhou sighed, “I know. But I can’t collect the silver. You can’t help me with your heart. I’ll point you to help. I have four sons, not just you. If you want to get them, each of them will have to give me.”

The rain was getting heavier outside, Zhou Mu lowered her voice, “Actually, I have already paid off those debts. Don’t worry about me, it’s okay for me to live with Wumei.”

That’s good.

It’s much better to just make some food to make ends meet without debts. After leaving Zhou’s mother after eating, she took two more buns and brought her back. In this way, Wumei no longer needs to cook.

Before leaving, Zhou’s mother remembered something, “Sister Wu said that her marriage will be put later, and that you think so too.”

Li Qinghe agreed, “Yes, she’s still young anyway. It’s perfectly fine to negotiate marriage next year.”

Zhou Mu thoughtfully, seeing that the rain outside was lighter, waved her hand and said, “Such a heavy rain, don’t give it away. You are fine, I’m relieved.”

After speaking, he plunged into the rain.

The rain continued for half a month, and when the winter moon came, there was still snow in it. The winter seems to have come earlier this year, and it is extremely cold. When the two of them finished feeding the fish every day, they took care of the chickens. At the end of October, the chicks gradually came out of their shells. The weather was too cold. Li Qinghe even lighted a brazier for them. Every day, a few hens brought the chicks. Squatting next to the brazier and not going anywhere, there are fewer premature deaths.

Rhubarb’s leg injury gradually healed, and he was a little lame at first. It seems to be normal these days, which proves that Zhou Chengkang has succeeded in getting his leg. The days of the two of them were calm. After the weather got cold, Zhou Mu didn’t come over.

In the afternoon of that day, someone knocked on the door again. In the morning, the rain stopped and it was still cold outside. It was Zhou Chengkang who went to open the door. It was surprising that the person brought in was the Qian family.

Qian’s body was bloated and seemed a little uncomfortable, “Qinghe, I have something to ask you.”

Li Qinghe raised his eyebrows. Needless to say, he knew that he was asking Zhao Wanwan. Having not asked for so long, I thought she could really calm down.

“You said you saw Wanwan, how is she doing now?” After the words fell, she lowered her head, “I used to be…a bit too much, don’t care about me.”

It’s just getting angry, but as long as she lives with Li Fu, Li Qinghe doesn’t care about it. It is his father who tossed in the end, why bother?

“I did see her.” Li Qinghe said calmly, “I don’t know how she’s doing.”

Qian frowned, “I asked her father to give her money, and he said she was doing well.”

So, Qian believes Zhao Tianfu’s words?

Li Qinghe was speechless, and said after a long while, “I asked her if she had seen her father, and politely said that since I arrived at Li’s house, I have never seen her father again.”

“Impossible.” Qian quickly denied.

It was cold outside. Li Qinghe was making clothes recently. She picked up the needle and thread again, and said, “It doesn’t matter if you don’t believe it, there is no need to ask me.”

Qian was choked, but I still have to ask. After all, the clothes she brought back were indeed Zhao Wanwan’s stitches. She was specified to have met her, but she didn’t want to believe that Zhao Tianfu actually lied to her. These days, she has always wanted to come over and ask, but dare not come over and ask, what if Wanwan’s days were not what Zhao Tianfu said? “Then you said, where did you run into her? Did you see Yanxi?”

Li Qinghe didn’t answer, and asked curiously, “What did her father say?”

Qian bit his lip and whispered, “Say that Xi has no concubine and no one takes care of his daily life. Wanwan helps him with cooking and laundry. When he is free, he goes to the bookstore to help with cleaning, but the money is not enough…”

This is really too much, Li Qinghe couldn’t help asking, “He won’t even say that he will help you bring money to Wanwan in the future, right?”

Qian’s silence is a tacit understanding. It took a long time to say, “So you said that you met Wanwan and she helped me make the clothes. I was a little bit skeptical. If she did, why not let her father bring them back to me? I thought about it again, maybe it was Wanwan. Wan didn’t want her father to be with me too often, so that you could help bring it.”

Therefore, Qian’s automatically fills in the unreasonable places.

She was a little bit depressed. Li Qinghe stopped selling her son. Although Zhao Tianfu cheated the Qians, in the end the money was taken out of Li Fu’s pocket and rounded up. It was her father who cheated. This is unbearable and immediately said, ” It was a coincidence that I met Wanwan. We sent the fish to the county town overnight. After we sold out, we found an inn to live in. The fish smelled like fish. I asked the guy to send hot water. The one who sent the hot water…”

Qian stretched out his hand to cover his mouth, eyes full of surprise, and asked carefully, “Is it Wanwan?”

Li Qinghe nodded, “At the time she said she was busy and didn’t have time to talk to me. Then I didn’t find her. When we left the next day, she appeared again and asked me to bring you the burden.” She paused. , Said, “Also, I didn’t see my brother-in-law, because I once suggested letting her work as a helper in the county seat, where the wages should be higher and she can stay with her brother-in-law. But she didn’t agree, saying that it was detrimental to her brother-in-law’s reputation. When I saw her delivering water, I couldn’t help but ask… She meant that she didn’t live with her brother-in-law, but lived in an inn, saying that no one knew their relationship…”

Qian was so angry that he squeezed his clothes tightly, and asked eagerly, “So did he take a concubine?”

Li Qinghe spread his hands, “I can’t ask you that.”

Her sister, who had an unremarkable relationship, asked her brother-in-law if she had a concubine. Maybe people thought she was reading a joke.

Qian took a few deep breaths, “Thank you.” After finishing speaking, he turned to go out, staggered, and stood firmly by the door.

In the winter months, the weather is getting colder and colder. The chickens have to eat a lot of food every day. Originally, Li Qinghe planned to catch all the roosters and sell them during the Chinese New Year. The man chose the day, kept two good coats, and took all the other roosters to the town to sell.

Ordinary people don’t buy roosters. She sent them directly to the restaurant, exchanged a couple of dollars, and then bought some food to bring back.

The fish in the pond were a bit big, so she was not in a hurry, just waiting to fish them out and sell them when the Chinese New Year was about to come.

In the twelfth lunar month, all the scholars who went to study in the county seat returned, among them were Hu Yanxi and Qian Laiwen, but not Zhao Wanwan.

At this time, Qian was anxious, and ran to Qian’s house to ask his brother what was going on.

It doesn’t matter to Li Qinghe whether these scholars will come back, but Li Fu personally came to say that on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, Hu Yanxi came back to visit specially and asked them to go back.

Well, it’s not that he missed his daughter. It was largely because Hu Yanxi came to the door. He had to prepare all the meat and vegetables, and brought his daughter and son-in-law to eat a little. It was his selfishness. Also, there are more people and more lively.

When the day came, the two went quite late. She thought that if Zhou Chengkang and Li Fu and Hu Yanxi were chatting after they went early, it would not be like that when she left it aside and listened to it. She could only go to the kitchen if she was not in that room Helped.

But Li Qinghe didn’t want to go to the kitchen to help. When going to the kitchen, he had to be alone with the Qians. The relationship between the two of them was actually not that good.

Therefore, when the two arrived, it was the lunch point, and the food was ready. Li Fu stood in the yard and looked over here. Seeing the two of them, he quickly opened the door, “Why did you come so late? Yesterday I promised. Okay, I thought you forgot.”

“The chicken is out of its shell.” Li Qinghe said casually.

Li Fu was surprised, “Will you still hatch chicks?”

“I learned it.” Li Qinghe smiled, and saw Qian taking the dishes and chopsticks. Qian also went into the kitchen to help with food. Qian even smiled at her.

During the meal, Li Fu was very happy. Speaking of this year’s harvest, he asked about Hu Yanxi’s county test next year.

The county test is taken once a year, and it takes only three years to go up. Hu Yanxi is a scholar, even if he drinks alcohol, he is gentle, “I don’t know, I will have no regrets if I do my best.”

During the period when Li Qinghe entered the kitchen to add food, Zhou Chengkang also went out to breathe, and then Qian also came out, “Chengkang, can you help me ask if Yanxi has a concubine?”

Zhou Chengkang was a little surprised, but he still responded. Apart from him, no one in this family really had a good chance of talking.

Qian stood under the eaves outside, pricked his ears to listen.

Knowing that he had to ask this when he went in, if Li Qinghe was in front of him, she would be embarrassed. She didn’t go in either, and then stood under the eaves.

Inside, Zhou Chengkang mysteriously lowered his voice and asked, “I heard that my brother-in-law enjoys the blessing of the same people, can this happen?”

After a long while, there was Hu Yanxi’s voice, “No such thing. Outsiders like to chase after the wind and the shadow of the wind and moon. If you don’t believe it, you can ask uncle.”

Regardless of whether it is true or not, it is impossible to ask money for a communication, because he originally said it.

Qian’s was obviously relieved. Whether it is true or not, Hu Yanxi dare not admit it, it proves that this has not been put on the surface, and the breath has not been relieved, another person ran outside, “Sister Qian , You go back and have a look, your father fell and won’t be done.”

Qian’s complexion changed drastically, and he ran out, “Why did you fall? Where did you fall? Is it serious? Would you like a doctor…”

While asking, the two ran away.

Several people in the room came out, Zhou Chengkang asked in confusion, “Why is it okay for half a year, but my son fell back when he came back?”

This is what Li Qinghe couldn’t figure out.

When something like this happened, the food could not be finished, and all the food on Li Fu’s table was confiscated. He locked the door and took them to Qian’s house.

Similar to the last time Qian Mu was gone, there were many people standing in the yard. The difference is that Yu’s face was solemn at this time, and he was saying something loudly, “He pushed the people I saw with my own eyes.”

“Asshole!” Someone was heartbroken.

“But what does he picture?” puzzled.

Some people sighed, “It is better to raise a dog than to raise a child.”

After listening to the surrounding discussion, I realized that Father Qian fell down because Qian Laiwen helped him out, and then pushed him, so that You’s who came to give him a change of clothes saw him with his own eyes.

“Some things I didn’t say, actually…” Youshi paused, “The last time my mother was gone, when I cleaned up, I found that there were flesh and blood in my mother’s nails, which seemed to scratch people…”
