Half-demon peasant girl has space

Chapter 33

Ever since the news of Qian Lian's ginseng selling got money spread, apart from those like Han Dahua who came to sneer and ridicule, some villagers also came to the door to borrow some money.

Although Duan's skin is soft, she also knows that the money is useful, so she declined one by one, saying that the family is struggling now, the money from selling ginseng is not much, and there are places to use the money everywhere, so there is really no room for it. Give out spare money.

People in Taoshan Village are naturally aware of the Tao family's situation, and they come to borrow money, but they just try it out. After all, they don't have deep friendships on weekdays.

So, after a few rounds, when the other people saw that they could not borrow money from Tao's house, they all gave up their minds one by one.

But this afternoon, an unexpected visitor came to the Tao family.

"Hey, Ah Liu, it's really hard to find you here, so hurry up and open the door and let me in." Tao Hechen went to the town and hasn't come back yet, Qianlian went to the mountains again, and there was only Duan in the family, and now the family's money Not so tight, Duan's mood became much more relaxed. After tidying up the yard, he sat under the eaves to embroider purses. Not long after he sat down, he heard a sound at the gate of the yard.

Duan looked up at the gate of the courtyard, and saw a 36-year-old woman standing outside the fence and talking to herself. She blinked her eyes and felt that this person looked familiar. After a while, she asked hesitantly: "Sister-in-law?"

The person who came was Duan's natal sister-in-law, Qiu Shi. It's no wonder that Duan didn't recognize her at first. Since Duan's parents died one after another 14 years ago, Duan's eldest brother and his family have cut off contact with Duan. It has been 15 years. I haven't seen each other for many years, even when Tao Zhiyi died, no one from Duan's eldest brother's family came. In the past 14 years, Duan's sister-in-law's appearance has naturally changed a lot.

Duan's natal family is in Hexia Village, which is seven or eight miles away from Taoshan Village. The family was originally relatively wealthy, with fields and land, and Duan's father had some small crafts. Standing firm in her in-law's house, Duan's mother also specially let Duan learn embroidery female red, cooking and so on, not to mention.

Duan Qingliu's boudoir's name is Duan Qingliu, and everyone in the family calls her A Liu.

Unexpectedly, when Duan Shi was 15 years old, Duan's father fell ill, not only spent all the savings of the family, but also owed a lot of foreign debts. At that time, Duan Shi's eldest brother, Duan Qingsong, was married, and he married this Qiu Shi. The Qiu family's natal family is about twenty or thirty miles away from Hexia Village.

Once Qiu went back to her natal family. After returning from her natal family, she told Duan's father and Duan's mother that there was a wealthy family in their village who wanted to marry a daughter-in-law. The bride price was 30 taels of silver, but only a little. Honey, we can't communicate.

Qiu said that the family is good everywhere, and even said that with the 30 taels of silver, not only can the family's foreign debts be paid off, but also the current plight of the family can be alleviated.

Duan's father and Duan's mother heard that they couldn't bear their daughter's divorce from the family, not to mention that Duan had already known Tao Zhiyi at that time, and Tao Zhiyi had already visited Duan's father and Duan's mother at the door, and made it clear that he wanted to marry Duan. When Duan's mother saw that the two young children were in love, she agreed, and waited for Duan to marry when she turned 16.

Seeing that Duan's father and Duan mother did not agree, Qiu became unhappy, and urged Duan Qingsong to force Duan's father and Duan mother to agree to the marriage.

Duan Shi's second elder brother, Duan Qingfeng, loved Duan Shi very much. Seeing that Qiu Shi insisted on letting Duan Shi marry him, he secretly went to Qiu Shi's natal village to inquire about the family.

That family is indeed a wealthy family, but the family is a stupid son, who was already 28 years old at the time, and had married three daughter-in-laws before, and each daughter-in-law died of a sudden illness.

Such a family, no matter how much money they have, how can they marry?

Duan Qingfeng was outraged, he argued with the Qiu family when he came back, and told the whole situation of that family.

Duan's father was so angry that he vomited blood, and his illness worsened a bit, and he was dying when he saw it. Duan Qingsong and Qiu Shi were so frightened that they didn't dare to mention that marriage again.

However, the foreign debts owed by the family were real. In order to help the family pay off the foreign debts, Duan Qingfeng sold himself to be a servant of a family, and then went to other places with that family.

The foreign debts were paid off, but Duan's father's health was even worse because of that vomiting blood. Fearing that something would happen to him, Duan's family was randomly accepted by Duan Qingsong's family. So, before Duan's 16 years old, Duan's father and Duan's mother Discuss with Tao Zhiyi and let him marry Duan as soon as possible.

Half a year after Duan's marriage to Tao Zhiyi, Duan's father died of illness, and Duan's mother died of grief one after another.

If it weren't for the Qiu family, Duan's father wouldn't have passed away so early. Duan's heart was angry with Duan Qingsong and Qiu's, but in the end it was his elder brother and sister-in-law, Duan would not quarrel, so he could only stay away.

Duan Qingsong was also dissatisfied with her because of Duan's marriage, and threatened to treat her as if she didn't have this younger sister. Since then, Duan Qingsong's family has completely cut off contact with Duan's.

But Mrs. Duan never thought that she would see Mrs. Qiu again after 14 years.

"It's not me, who else could it be?" Qiu patted the fence door: "Hurry up, open the door for me."

Duan Shi pursed her lips, stepped forward to open the courtyard door to let Qiu Shi enter the courtyard, and asked, "Sister-in-law, why are you here suddenly?"

"Why, I can't come?" When Duan was not married, she was soft-tempered. Qiu always knew that Duan was easy to bully: "I haven't seen you for so many years, why do you still look like this? Quickly pour me a glass of water." Ah, didn't you see that I was sweating after walking for so long?"

Mrs. Duan poured a glass of water for Mrs. Qiu and asked, "Sister-in-law, what's the matter with you?"

Qiu didn't answer and asked instead: "A Liu, your elder brother and I are still your elder brother and sister-in-law, right?"

Duan nodded and said nothing.

"You just admit it." Seeing Duan Shi nodding, Qiu said with a smile: "Since you admit it, we are real relatives. If your elder brother and I need your help with something, won't you not help?"

Is there something she needs to help with?
Duan asked, "I don't know what my sister-in-law wants me to do for you?"
