Peasant girls seek happiness

Chapter 17
Chu Qi believes that this matter has something to do with Cheng Jiaojiao.

Cheng Jiaojiao is not like Chu Qi who often runs outside. She spends more time working at home. In the village, she has a few familiar friends who are also married and engaged. They are not as frequent as before.

She has never offended anyone, so no one will harm her.

Of course, it is not ruled out that someone who is hostile to the Cheng family will deliberately take this opportunity to tarnish her reputation.But that's not something she can know.

Because of this, the entire Cheng family was very dissatisfied with Cheng Jiaojiao, and even Yunxiu, the second roommate, was unwilling to talk to her.

Cheng Jiaojiao was already jealous of Dafang and Chuyi, and it was possible to transfer this resentment towards her family to Chuyi, trying to ruin her reputation.

Another is intuition.

When Cheng Jiaojiao heard this, she inadvertently expressed her complacency, which made Chu Qi feel that it had something to do with her.

Third brother Cheng Yunhui went to the field to find Cheng Wu, whispered to him for a long time, Cheng Wu nodded in response, "Don't worry! This matter is on Uncle Wu."

Cheng Yunhui asked with some concern, "Uncle Wu, don't tell others, not even Aunt Wu."

"Don't tell don't tell."

Cheng Yunhui was happy to go back and tell the two sisters after getting the guarantee.

Cheng Chuyi was a little worried, "Is this okay? If it's not her, I'll scare her..."

Chu Qi waved her little hand indifferently: "She is so bad, how can she be scared? It's all right, I haven't done anything wrong, and I'm not afraid of ghosts calling the door in the middle of the night."

Yun Hui and Chu Yi, who had never done anything bad, spent half the afternoon feeling guilty and restless, and finally the sun was setting and the sky was getting dark.

Cheng Er went to the county and never came back, Qu Shi and Cheng Jiaojiao complained, "I don't worry about both of them, your father doesn't want to go home as long as he goes out until midnight, and your second brother, he can't wait to grow up to the big house, hurry up and let him recognize your aunt as his mother."

Cheng Jiaojiao said impatiently: "Mom, what's the use of complaining so much? If you have the ability, you can wrap him up and keep him from going out?"

Qu Shi choked, glared at her and said: "How can a man not go out? Every day his wife and children are hot on the bed, what can someone like your third uncle do?"

Just because her man often goes out, and he is the one to take the lead in all the big and small matters in the family, her man has a wide network of contacts, knows a lot of talents, and has a bit of face wherever he goes.

Only then can he buy some food for the girls from time to time.

Cheng Wu ran home sweating profusely and went straight to the second room, "Second sister-in-law, second sister-in-law?"

Qu opened the door and came out, "What's the name of the ghost? It's like a ghost."

Cheng Wu wiped his sweat with his sleeve, and said anxiously: "Second sister-in-law, where is Jiaojiao? Chen Dalang was beaten, and the Chen family sent Jiaojiao to help take care of her!"

Qu Shi and Cheng Jiaojiao who came out of the room asked at the same time: "What? Da Lang was beaten? Is it serious?"

This is the second half of her girl's life.

This is the second half of her life, and she has never heard of this in her previous life!That's right, in her previous life, it was the big house's business, so how could she know.

"Mom, I have to go and see." See how the injury looks like?
Qu Shi hesitated: "This, isn't it good? Do you want your elder brother to take a look?"

Cheng Wu said: "Oh, my second sister-in-law, Yun Guang is in the county, and someone has to go to the county to tell him to let him go. It takes so much effort, why don't I just send Jiaojiao to the county, and go to live with Yun Guang when it's late."

"Dalang was beaten, and Jiaojiao can't justify not going to see it. Besides, the sister-in-law of the Chen family can say, let us Jiaojiao help take care of it. It seems that the autumn harvest is coming, and she is too busy."

"Is he seriously injured?" If it is serious, you will have to reconsider this relationship, so you can't let her go.

"I didn't hurt my muscles and bones, but I had to stay at home for a few days."

"That's good, that's good!" Both mothers breathed a sigh of relief at the same time, and looked at each other, Cheng Jiaojiao said decisively: "Mother, I'll go! Let my fifth uncle see me off!"

Cheng Wu couldn't help but rolled his eyes, who is the uncle and who is the niece?The tone was like an order.

He snorted, "I just came back from the county seat, let your uncle see you off! I'm hungry and have to wait for dinner!"

Seeing his expression, Qu knew that he was unhappy, and murmured in his heart, "I don't know who is following this narrow-minded person", and said: "It looks like it's going to be dark, and I don't worry about Lao Liu being young. Lao Wu, it's hard work for you to make a trip and catch Ming Er's sister-in-law to cook big meat for you."

"Then I'm going to be hungry tonight?"

Qu almost stared at him, and handed him a few pennies, "Go to the county town and buy a steamed stuffed bun."

Cheng Wu looked at three pennies, he could buy two vegetable buns, enough for the two of them, one for each of them. "Second sister-in-law, Jiaojiao won't eat the two buns? The Chen family is sad, so she can't go and ask for something to eat?"

Cheng Jiaojiao felt that her mother was too stingy, when did it take so much effort to get a few pennies, "Mother, give Uncle Wu ten pennies."

Qu Shi glared at her, prodigal child!
But he still took out the copper plate and counted seven coins, Cheng Wu grabbed it and stuffed it, "It's almost enough, Jiaojiao, hurry up."

No matter how small a mosquito is, it's still meat. Asking the second sister-in-law to spend a penny is like killing her, and she's bleeding today.

At that moment, Qu subconsciously wanted to reach out to grab it back. Cheng Wu had already gone out, so she withdrew her hand and slapped her daughter, "What a debt collector!"

Cheng Jiaojiao went to change her clothes, Cheng Wu stood anxiously at the gate of the courtyard, saw her come out and urged: "It's really slow! Hurry up, it will be dark if you hang around for a while."

After finishing speaking, she strode out, Cheng Jiaojiao had to trot to keep up, "Fifth Uncle, Fifth Uncle, wait for me!"

In the kitchen, Niu Shi saw her back from the door and murmured strangely: "It's dark now, where are the third girl and the fifth child going?"

Mrs. Fu shook her head when she heard this. Mrs. Yang was lighting a fire, so she casually said, "Who knows!"

She doesn't like the second wife, especially Cheng Jiaojiao.

After walking a long way from the house, Cheng Jiaojiao caught up with Cheng Wu and pulled his sleeve: "Uncle Wu, how do we go? We need to hire an ox cart!"

"You still hire an ox cart? The few pennies your mother gave us would be enough for both of us. The ox cart is only owned by the Wang family. It's a long time ago. If we want to use it alone, how much money will it cost?"

The village head, Wang's family, has a special ox cart to drive to and from the county every day, and each of ten people charges one penny.

"Then push me with a cart! I can't walk!"

Cheng Wuyi was furious, "Okay, don't be pretentious. You used to go to the county on foot, but now, you are engaged, but you can't do it? I am your fifth uncle, not your servant. You are not Chuliu and Jiuyue!"

Although the Cheng family has an ox cart, it doesn't come every time they go to the county, and anyone who goes to the county can use it.It is even more impossible for Cheng Jiaojiao to let her use it in a girl's house.

As for Chuliu and Jiuyue, one is from the third brother's family and the other is from the fourth brother's family, both are only seven or eight years old.

Cheng Jiaojiao was stunned and silently followed behind him, but she scolded Uncle Wu in her heart, and she would deal with him when she became an official mistress... She was intoxicated with the idea of ​​being a government mistress enjoying blessings and power, but she didn't notice that Cheng Wu's footsteps were getting faster and faster. When she calmed down a little, she realized that it was already dark.

Looking further ahead, Uncle Wu was far away from her, and after turning a corner, he was out of sight.

"Uncle Wu, wait for me!"

She was startled, and she stopped being pretentious, lifted her skirt and ran forward.

He cursed Cheng Wu again in his heart.

A white shadow suddenly appeared around the corner.

Under the hazy moonlight, the white shadow danced, causing Cheng Jiaojiao to collapse to the ground with a scream.

"Ah hell~"
