idle mistress

Chapter 39

Just as Rong put down the plate, a pair of chopsticks flew across the river and came to the plate of beef.

Xu Weiqiu picked up a few dollars for Xu Lian first, and then Erniang.

One, two, three...

Seeing this, Mrs. Rong gave her a hard look, and finally couldn't help but said: "Okay, Wei Qiu, there are only a few pieces of beef in total, and you have caught it. What will others eat?"

Xu Weiqiu sniffed: "Isn't there more?" She said boldly, and put two yuan into her bowl while speaking.

Xu Xiaoke looked at her with a look of disgust: "It's not too shabby to hold a few pieces of meat, and what's more, you have a face with a runny nose and a pair of chopsticks that you can't eat." ?”

Xu Weiqiu declared: "I have never eaten chopsticks before."

Xu Xiaoke turned to Xu Lian and cried: "Father, look at how domineering she is now. Also, I don't want to share a room with her anymore. She sleeps dishonestly, grinds her teeth a lot, and her hands and feet are not clean. Brother bought me some time ago." The rouge gouache, I obviously haven’t used it very much, I opened it yesterday and saw that a lot of it was dug out.”

What does it mean for the villain to file a complaint first? This is...

Xu Weiqiu stood up awkwardly: "Xu Xiaoke, what are you talking about? You'd better explain who took what from whom."

"Father, look, she's still pissing me off." Xu Xiaoke pretended to be weak, and even covered her face and sobbed.

"Eat as soon as you eat, there are no rules." Xu Lian picked up Fan, the head of the family, said a few words to the two of them, then turned to see Xu Weiqiu, he couldn't help but think of the embarrassment last night, his face was a little uncomfortable, and then he coughed lightly He said: "Xiao Ke, please bear with me, your sister will get married after a while."

Xu Weiqiu was about to show his position, but Erniang at the side nudged her lightly with her elbow, and Xu Weiqiu didn't speak anymore. Although she didn't refute, she had already made other plans in her mind.

The quarrel finally stopped, Xu Xiaoke glanced sideways at Xu Weiqiu, and a triumphant smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xu Weiqiu didn't bother to talk to her, and buried himself in his meal.

Hongyan, who was sitting beside her, looked at this and that, but didn't speak, thinking something in her mind.

The Xu family ate this meal like a ghost.

At night, Xu Xiaoke repeated the old trick, either squeezing her so that she had no place to sleep, or tearing away the quilt.

Xu Weiqiu was not feeling well, he fell into a drowsy sleep and was woken up several times by the cold in the middle of the night, and at Yinshi, he developed a fever.

The quilt on her body was taken away again, Xu Weiqiu felt cold all week: "Xu Xiaoke, I'm very cold, let the quilt spread out a bit." She pulled the corner of the quilt, but the quilt didn't move at all, Xu Xiaoke didn't know whether she was pretending to sleep or really fell asleep. , she wrapped the quilt around her body, but no matter how she pushed it, she didn't move.

Xu Weiqiu didn't have the energy to argue with her, so he forced himself to go to Zhang's house.

She woke up Zhang Shi in her sleep,

"Er Niang, I'm so cold..."

Zhang lit the lamp, and was startled when she saw her trembling all over but kept sweating: "Oh, my God, hurry up, get into the bed to warm up."

She lay down obediently, and Mrs. Zhang hurriedly fetched hot water to wipe her body, tossing and tossing for a while, until dawn, when Xu Weiqiu fell into a drowsy sleep.

She didn't know how long she had slept, and she was in a daze. She knew that Erniang had come in to feed herself water, and even reached out to touch her forehead. She said in a rambling voice, "Erniang, it seems that I can't leave the stall today."

Zhang looked at her with eyes full of heartache, and replied: "Let's not leave the stall, rest well, your body is more important than anything else."

"Mmm..." She responded lightly, and after a while she said again: "Er Niang, it's great to have you here!"

This sentence of having you melted Zhang's heart, and immediately her eyes were hot: "Silly boy, Erniang is the one who should be lucky to have you in this world."

While talking, Zhang couldn't help but stretched out his hand to stroke her wet temples: "Er Niang didn't expect anything, she just hoped that you could make a good husband's family; Er Niang has inquired about the marriage that your aunt told you about, and listened to it. It is said that although Li Damao is a bit older, his temper is not bad, and he is also very hardworking. I hope he is a good man. When you marry, someone will love and be loved. Don't live a miserable life like Er Niang."

Xu Weiqiu fell into a drowsy sleep, only heard her say that Xu is a good husband, and replied very stubbornly: "I don't want to marry..."

Er Niang didn't take it seriously: "Silly boy, you are almost fifteen, and it has always been the case since ancient times..."

She nagged for a long time, but the person curled up in the bed had already fallen asleep and did not give her any response.

This time I fell into a deep sleep, and when I woke up, I found that the sun was already high.Ever since he came to Chengchao, he had never slept in late. Xu Weiqiu found that he was much more energetic, so he got up and tidied the bedding before leaving the house.

Walking into the hall, I saw a strange woman sitting on a wooden chair, talking softly with her, Mrs. Rong, Erniang, Xu Xiaoke, and even sister-in-law Hongyan were also there.

As soon as she walked in, all the female relatives in the hall turned their heads to look at her in unison.

The strange woman even looked her up and down with a pair of goldfish eyes. Her eyes were quite sharp and extremely rude. Xu Weiqiu considered himself a thick-skinned person. I feel uncomfortable.

This woman was about forty or fifty years old, dressed brightly, with flowers on her hair, and her attire was very different from that of peasant women in nearby ten miles and eight towns.

"Is this the eldest girl?" the woman asked.

Rong Shi on the side nodded.

The woman unceremoniously commented on Xu Weiqiu: "The figure is good, but what's the matter with this face? Also, the skin is too dark. For women, the skin must be white to be beautiful, and one white can cover three ugliness." I've heard this truth before. To be honest, it's really difficult for me to find a good husband's family with this appearance."

After hearing this, Xu Weiqiu had already guessed what this woman was doing, and his expression was a bit ugly for a while.

After the matchmaker finished her comments, she stood up and was about to leave.

Rong quickly got up and saw her off: "My dear girl, don't you sit down for a while? It's better to stay and have a meal before leaving."

"Forget it, I can eat anywhere, and I still have to go to several places today."

The two went out one after the other, Xu Weiqiu saw Erniang's sad face, so he couldn't help but walked up to her and asked, "What's wrong, Erniang?"

Before Mrs. Zhang could speak, Xu Xiaoke, who was not far away, couldn't hold back and spoke first: "Don't you recognize someone? That's the most famous matchmaker in the neighborhood, and she came to refuse marriage. She told you nine things. With that marriage in Toucun, the man is not satisfied with you now."

After finishing speaking, he mocked again: "What do you say that you don't want to marry? Even if you want to marry, they may not be willing to marry. I heard that you are the first old bachelor in the village. They even look down on you."
