Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 11
It was late at night, and Qin Xiang woke up from her dream. She kept her eyes open for a long time before she slowly calmed down.

She wakes up from dreams several times every night, and the situations in her dreams are all the pain she suffered in her previous life, but she never thought that if she had to do it again, it would still be tormenting her like a shadow in her dreams.

He sat up, put on his thick clothes, and stirred the charcoal stove placed in the room. Seeing that the sparks were about to go out, he added some charcoal, opened the incense box, took a handful of incense chips and sprinkled it, closed the lid and sat quietly. With.

Today, her mother suddenly asked about playing the piano, which made her have another nightmare tonight. In the dream, she was still in the disgusting drunken red building, and she was sitting in the corner playing the piano for the entertainment of the drunken men.

She raised her hand and looked carefully, remembering what her husband once said: "You have a pure mind and are very spiritual. You may have great achievements in the field of piano music in the future."

When her father heard that she was extremely talented at playing the piano, he happily bought a fine piano and gave it to her. He stayed here for almost half a year, and her mother had a gentle and affectionate smile on her face at that time.For the sake of her mother, Qin Xiang worked hard to practice the piano, thinking that if her father came again, for the sake of her piano skills, she would not be able to treat her mother better.

Unfortunately, she later learned that her high piano skills were just a weight that her father could "sell" at a good price.

The charcoal burned and the incense filled the room, which made Qin Xiang feel much more comfortable. She took a deep breath, stood up, turned around and went back to bed to sleep.

If you have to do it all over again, then do it all over again.

It was probably the sleeping incense that had its effect, and Qin Xiang stayed up all night until dawn.

The next morning, Su Xiaomiao came home early wearing a new pink dress. She really wanted the kind of incense stick that could hold incense.

Qin Xiang didn't know how to dress up at home, so she simply put her hair into a bun and put in a silver plum blossom hairpin. However, her eyebrows were delicate, so her dressing up made her even more elegant.

Su Xiaomiao felt a little jealous, pursed her lips, and shouted to see Qin Xiang's porcelain incense stick.

Qin Xiang had already taken out a sachet and said apologetically: "I can't find that incense, but my father also brought this sachet from Fucheng a few years ago, so I gave it to you to play with."

Although the sachet was exquisitely embroidered, how could it compare with Qin Xiang's sachet? She was about to give up when she heard Qin Xiang say: "I heard Aunt Sang say something this morning."

Su Xiaomiao put the sachet in her hand and pinched it, and said rather dissatisfiedly: "What's the matter?"

"I heard that Xiao Hanyang is getting engaged."

Su Xiaomiao blinked. She didn't think about why Qin Xiang told her this. Instead, her eyes widened when she understood: "Who is he engaged to?"

Qin Xi chuckled: "Of course it's Chen Youyou, the daughter of the richest bank owner in the town. Why, you don't know yet? But I heard from Aunt Sang that the news has spread throughout the town?"

"Impossible, how could it be her?" Su Xiaomiao ignored the sachet and was about to get up and leave, but Qin Xian grabbed her sleeve and said: "Cousin, don't worry, just listen to me."

Su Xiaomiao stared and said anxiously: "What else do you want?"

She became even more impatient when she thought that there was no Xiang Hua and she learned that there was an accident in her marriage.

"Cousin, does she like Xiao Hanyang?"

"What does it have to do with you?" Su Xiaomiao suddenly remembered that Xiao Hanyang once proposed marriage to Qin Xiang.

"If my cousin listens to me, I can help my cousin!" Qin Xiang looked at her leisurely and continued: "You don't have to avoid me. After all, I am getting married and I won't compete with you."

"How can you help me? Why should you help me?" Su Xiaomiao asked doubtfully.

"I want you to help me put in a good word and ask my second uncle to rent my shop to me. Alas, I'm about to get married, but I don't even have the money to pay for it. As you saw, he doesn't even have a house. , my life from now on will inevitably be more difficult." "I" Su Xiaomiao wanted to say how she could persuade her father to come up with the money, but she couldn't tell Qin Xiang, so she nodded and said, "You helped me, I I’ll help you too.”

"You bring the rent, and I will help you with ideas." Qin Xiang said vaguely, it didn't matter whether the other party listened or not.

Su Xiaomiao hurried home and pulled Huang, who was quarreling with Tao Niang, into the back room.

"Mom, you have to help me this time. Xiao Hanyang is getting married to Chen Youyou, what should I do?" Su Xiaomiao repeated Qin Xiang's words, and then looked at her mother: "Mom, how about we let Qin Xiang Help me, she has read books, maybe she can think of a way."

Mrs. Huang poked her daughter between the eyebrows with her finger and cursed: "You fool, let's not talk about how your father is willing to take out such a large sum of money. If you just say that he is willing, then Qin Xiang can really help you?"

"But, she said she had a way." Su Xiaomiao retorted with a pout, but in fact she didn't know what to do.

Huang said: "No, I'll go find Zhao Cuihua and tell her that she asked you to do such a thing in the first place. She clearly promised you to be her daughter-in-law, but now she wants to go back on her word. That won't work."

Mr. Huang left in a hurry, and Su Xiaomiao was waiting anxiously at home.

Mrs. Huang finally came back, but her eyes were full of anger. Su Xiaomiao was shocked: "Mom, it's not done yet?"

"This damn woman actually said that you are illiterate and are not a good match for her son." Huang said angrily.

"But, she clearly praised me for being obedient and well-behaved, and she likes a girl like me as her wife." Su Xiaomiao burst into tears and pounded the table in anger.

"She also said that none of our shops belong to her. I think she just wants to marry a rich wife."

"What should I do?"

"I threatened her with the fact that she asked you to push Qin Xiang into the water, but she denied it and said she had never spoken to you." Mrs. Huang was also very angry, but there was no witness to this matter. It was Zhao Cuihua who was the one responsible for it. Su Xiaomiao found an opportunity to tell her when she was walking alone on the street.

"Mom, Chen Youyou knows about this, and she even helped me make suggestions." Su Xiaomiao suddenly wiped her tears and said, "It was Chen Youyou's idea to push her into the wishing pool."

"You, will Chen Youyou help you? She is already the future wife of the Xiao family, and you were conspired by those two women."

Su Xiaomiao sat down slumped and looked at her mother with dull eyes: "I'm going to find Qin Xi, she will definitely be able to help me."

"Your father is coming back soon. Our whole family will go back to the countryside to celebrate the Lantern Festival later. Don't run out. When you come back the next day, my mother will accompany you to find Qin Xiang."

Shangyuan, Lantern Festival.

During the Lantern Festival, some people in the market beat rice flour into balls, which are called "yuanzi". Some people also make them into cakes and fry them, which is called "youzhui".Both of these are offerings to gods and ancestors.

Lian'er Niang made a lot last night, and today she and her son are going to the town market to sell, so Lian'er asked Lian'er to bring a lot to Qin Xian's house as a token of gratitude from Mrs. Zhou, Lian'er Niang.

Lian'er had enough to eat at the Qin family, and Aunt Sang was taking care of her, so how could there be much hard work to do?However, within a few days, her cheeks became somewhat rosy, which made Mrs. Zhou very happy.

There was some noise outside. Qin Xi listened carefully and realized that it was the Lantern Festival. Seeing her mother and Aunt Sang happily making cakes, she also smiled.

However, her heart could not relax, because the people sent by her father were about to arrive, and Qin Xiang had no idea whether things would go as she wanted.
