Peasant girls seek happiness

Chapter 48 Sudden Changes
Cheng Chuqi never admits that besides following her heart, she also has some speculative thoughts.

Uncle Six bumped into someone, and it was impossible to ignore them based on their behavior.Both left and right must be managed, troubles and interests coexist, and of course greater interests must be strived for.

The grandma brought her sister-in-law back, and when she heard about it, she called the two younger sons in and scolded her.

But turning around, he smiled at Xue Yunniang and said, "Miss, don't worry, stay here and let's talk about when your feet get better."

Xue Yunniang thinks that the Cheng family is very nice and warm, at least very humane, like her own family...

Even Qu's eccentric tone was very friendly to her, and she even said to Chu Qi: "There are no two people with different temperaments in any family." Besides, she didn't say it to herself.

Cheng Chunxiao's marriage has not been settled yet, the old lady didn't like it, and she herself didn't want to think the other party was ugly, so the old man pointed at them and said: "The good-looking ones can't be eaten!"

Cheng Chunxiao felt aggrieved, "He's not only ugly..." Chu Qi felt that it wasn't that Grandpa didn't pay attention to looks, but that he valued the other party's status as a "scholar". "

She is not a member of the Appearance Association. Of course, the beautiful ones are more eye-catching. She often said, "We are all ordinary people..."

But my sister-in-law didn't want it, and even the old lady didn't agree, which showed that the man was not just unattractive.

She just replied: "But being ugly looks disgusting and affects eating!" After she finished speaking, she dragged her sister-in-law and ran away. If she didn't run, she would be scolded!
Sure enough, the old man scolded from behind: "If you are really ugly, you won't be admitted as a scholar!"

The old lady persuaded him: "Okay, if she doesn't want to, it's useless if you force it. Chu Qi is right. If you are really in a bad mood, the food will not taste good. Besides, it's not that Chun Xiao thinks he's ugly, that family It's really not good. Not to mention people, the old lady at home has a mean mouth, and the children are not used to it, especially uneducated. That is the advantage of being a scholar and a small landlord. It's not like Chunxiao can't find more Okay, why bother!"

The old man didn't speak now.

At the beginning, his second daughter was a mean mother-in-law. After her husband died, she scolded her for being hard on her son. That is to say, Cheng had a lot of family members. Don't dare to bully her again.

Xue Yunniang is very smart, she found something was wrong after only staying for one night.

"Your father is Juren? No wonder your family is different from other families in the village!"

"That's still a farm!" Cheng Chuqi felt that his house was just bigger and he had more land.

Yunniang actually wanted to ask what happened to your brother?But she knows what to ask and what not to ask.

It's already cold, except for the children who have nothing to do and will run out to play, and the adults will not stay outside after finishing their work. They either go back to the house or visit.

The daughters-in-law of the Cheng family, Qu Shi and Niu Shi love to visit, and they are often not seen at home.

Yang took the first day of junior high school to embroider purses and handkerchiefs at home to do embroidery work and shoes, but the old lady said: "Now that the boss is raising people, it is not appropriate to go to the county to sell these embroidery work."

Wouldn't it be embarrassing for Juren's daughter-in-law to sell embroidery?

Mrs. Yang paused, thought for a while and said, "Shall I ask my aunt to sell it for me?"

The old lady was not very happy, "Forget it, the family is not short of this little money now, let's keep it, and it would be good to choose the good one as a dowry for the first day of junior high school in the future."

Chu Qi felt that his family was now rich and powerful.

Xue Yunniang quietly asked, "Is your sister engaged?"

"No, the family means to wait for my father to finish his scientific examination next spring. Anyway, she is not very old, and the family wants to stay for two more years."

Xue Yunniang sighed: "Your family really loves children, both boys and girls, unlike my family."

The Cheng family didn't pay much attention to girls, but they didn't treat them as losers like other families.

Seeing her depressed mood, Chu Qi comforted her: "It's okay, it will be fine when you find your father."

Will his father take care of her?Xue Yunniang didn't know, his father didn't care about the backyard before, would his father really listen to her not to let her marry her mother's nephew?

Chunxiao has slept with them for the past few days, and they got to know each other very quickly.And the first day of junior high school, a few people are about the same age, the first day of junior high school is stable, Yun Niang is lively, and Chun Xiao is not that outstanding personality, they have endless things to say.

Everyone gathered around and chatted, and someone knocked hard on the door with a "bang bang".

After a while, Cheng Liu's cry came from outside, he slammed open the door and ran into the east room, crying in a panic: "Father, mother, my elder brother..."

His voice was very loud, and the people in Chuqi could hear it clearly in the house. Yang's face turned pale, and he hurriedly put down the work in his hands and ran outside. Just as he ran to the main room, the old lady's miserable voice came from the east room. Crying: "My son~"

Yang's legs softened, but luckily the two daughters who were following him held him up one by one, "Mother, don't be afraid, listen to what Uncle Six has to say?"

Even though Chu Qi's heart sank to the bottom, she still comforted her.

When the mother and the others entered the east room, they saw the old lady sitting cross-legged on the kang, slapping one hand and crying piteously: "My son, if you don't say it, it will be gone~"

Her crying stopped when she saw Yang's mother and daughter, and then she cried again, "Chu Qi, your father, your father..."

Cheng Liu, who was standing on the ground, also lowered his head and cried, and Yang's mother couldn't help crying loudly anymore.

Thinking of the man who was so patient with her, Chu Qi couldn't help but shed tears, but she still had reason, "Grandma, what happened to my father... why did he disappear? Where are my fourth uncle and my second brother?"

As she spoke, she turned to the old man from the corner of her eye. Just now, the old man had been in a daze when he heard the news. At this moment, he suddenly spurted out a mouthful of blood, called "My son~" and fell headfirst on the kang.

Chu Qi was startled when he saw the old man vomiting blood, and shouted "Grandpa~" and rushed over to help him. The old lady and Cheng Liu also panicked and shouted "Old man", and those who called "Daddy" called "Daddy". Jump over.

The rest of the Cheng family rushed over after hearing the sound, screaming and crying, and the room was in chaos.

Chuqi and the three were closest to each other, and saw the old man's eyes wide open, only breathing out but not breathing in for a moment, "Grandma, my grandfather~"

The old lady stretched out her hand tremblingly to explore, and after a pause, she burst into tears, "Old man~ you are going with Dalang~ why didn't you wait for me..."

Kneeling and crying together in the room.

Cheng Er runs to the city every day and is not at home at the moment.Cheng San has always been honest, he cried and went to help his old lady: "Mother, don't cry when you are old, my father has gone, and something happened to my elder brother. If you have something wrong again, what can you tell us to do?" !"

Only then did the old lady wake up, she couldn't cry, and there was this big family, and the boss...

right!Boss!She glanced at Yang who had fainted, "Take good care of your mother and the others on the first day of the lunar new year... Go get the second daughter-in-law back, Fan, why are you crying? Come and help me dress your father..."

She pointed to the sixth child again: "Go and invite the official who reported the letter in, let your third brother and your fifth brother ask clearly, you go to the city to find your second brother and your eldest sister, and let them come back quickly..."

The first and seventh sisters of Chuyi, Mrs. Fu and Chunxiao worked together to carry Mrs. Yang back to the room. Xue Yunniang also came to help and put him in a good place. Chuqi went back to the main room to listen to the third uncle asking the official.

The official was sent by the county government, what he knew was not very clear, he only said that the three Juren and his party encountered bandits outside the South Ring Mountain, one injured and two died.

Cheng San endured his grief and asked: "Do you know what happened to my fourth brother and my nephew..."

"Cheng Siye's injuries shouldn't be too serious. He went into the mountains to find Cheng Juren. Cheng Yunxiu probably just sprained his ankle while running, so it's fine."

Followers are two dead and two injured.

Chu Qi couldn't help but asked with anticipation: "Since my fourth uncle is looking for my father, is it possible that he is still alive but injured?"

The official explained: "Cheng Juren, like Zhang Juren, fell off the cliff after being stabbed by a knife. There is a big river under the cliff, and Zhang Juren's body fell to pieces by the river. When our county magistrate got the news, Cheng Siye had already I went into the mountains to look for it for two days, and the river has not yet frozen, and Cheng Juren has never found it."

"Then his whereabouts should be unknown, maybe my father is not dead at all..."

The officer knew that the person who died was her father, so he didn't bother with her, "Perhaps Cheng Juren might find it when I came here to estimate the festival. That's fine, I should go back after I finish my report."

Cheng San didn't have a big idea, Cheng Wu took out a handful of copper coins from his pocket and handed them to the official, "The family members are feeling sad now, this money is for the official to drink some hot tea, please take this trip."

The official waved his hand: "Your family Yun Guang and I are also considered colleagues, so there is no need to be so polite."

But he didn't refuse, stuffed the copper money into his sleeve, and cupped his hands: "My condolences, by the way!"

When Cheng Yunguang found his father from No. [-] Yangshu Street, Cheng Er was drinking with someone, and the woman sitting next to him holding the pot was the woman that Chu Qi and others saw with Cheng Er that day.

Hearing the laughter in the courtyard, a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes, and he rushed in without knocking on the door, "Father, something happened at home, and you're still drinking here? Hurry up and go home..."

Then he went to pull his father.

Cheng Er frowned, "What's the matter? I'm so anxious? I'm too old to be prudent."

He was dissatisfied in his heart, he had been tacitly with his elder son all along, but this time he came here directly.

"Father, something happened to my uncle." Cheng Yunguang didn't know that because of his accident, his grandfather couldn't bear the blow and followed him.

Cheng Erteng stood up, "Who? Who happened?"

He thought he had heard wrongly.

Cheng Yunguang thought that this matter would soon spread throughout the county, so he didn't avoid it, "My uncle met bandits on the road, and they have already..."

Hearing the sound of kicking and thumping, Cheng Er couldn't stand still and fell to the ground, knocking down the stool again.

He got up and walked out. The man sitting across from him also had a look of shock on his face. He cupped his fists and said goodbye: "Brother Cheng has something to do at home. I'll go back first. If you have something to do, brother Cheng, feel free to speak up."

Cheng Er didn't hear him at all, he walked quickly, but Cheng Yunguang hurriedly returned the salute and hurried to catch up.

Cheng Er's face was pale, and he waited for his son to catch up and grabbed him by the collar and asked, "Really? Is your uncle really serious?"

Cheng Yunguang nodded, with weeping in his voice: "Really, the county magistrate just received the news, and someone has already reported it to his home. I thought that my father might be in the county, so I hurried over to look for it...Father, the uncle is gone..."
