Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 16
Qin Xiang went back through the back door, closed the door and went straight down to the cellar, took a can of wine out and went to the front yard.

Mrs. Su was preparing lunch with Aunt Sang in the kitchen. When she saw Qin Xiang coming in with wine, she hurriedly took the wine and asked in a low voice: "Have you done your business?"

"Well, I hired two people from the escort agency to guard the entrance of the alley, mainly to protect the safety of our home. At least we can't let anyone cause trouble on the wedding day."

Su Shi said with a sad face: "I'm afraid your father won't comply."

"It all depends on what I do." Qin Xiang felt a little tired. Her body had not been well rested after the illness, and she had not slept well at night, so she struggled to get up now.

However, she was unwilling to tell Su Shi that Su Shi could not help much. Telling her would only make her worry.

"Aunt Sang, divide this wine into three portions and give it to Aza in a jug." Qin Xiang specially ordered to divide it into three portions and deliver it to Aza with three meals.

Aunt Sang and Mrs. Su didn't understand what Qin Xiang meant, but they still went to get three ceramic wine bottles and packed them.

Naturally, Aza would not eat at the same table as Su and Qin Xiang. Aunt Sang brought the food into his room on a tray.

This house had not been inhabited for a long time, so it seemed particularly cold. Aza had been running outside all year round, and because he was old, his body was a little weak. Seeing the wine, he felt happy.

As the wine enters the throat, a warmth spreads throughout the body, and this wine is no ordinary wine. In addition to the warmth, there is also a feeling of comfort throughout the body.

Aza didn't think so much about it, and when he had the food and wine in his mouth, he thought to himself: Women are women, and by treating her so well, you must be asking for something from me.

The wine had great staying power. After finishing the meal, Aza burped and fell asleep. Even Aunt Sang didn't know that Aunt Sang came in to take away the tableware.

Qin Xiang worked in the backyard for a long time, then brought out a bucket of charcoal and asked Aunt Sang to help burn charcoal in Aza's house.

Aunt Sang was a little reluctant and looked at the fragrant charcoal and said, "It would be a waste to use ordinary charcoal for him. How can he afford this fragrant charcoal?"

"Aunt Sang, I have my own idea. You can send it to me first, and I will use charcoal for you later." Qin Xiang joked and pushed Aunt Sang out.

Aunt Sang muttered that it was a pity, but she still went to burn charcoal for Aza.

Aza had just woken up and heard Aunt Sang muttering dissatisfiedly as she was lighting the charcoal. It was a pity that the charcoal was burned. Aza felt that Qin Xiang and her daughter wanted to please him, so they pleased him so much.

Therefore, he also felt that it was appropriate to enjoy the charcoal.

Before he could feel comfortable for a long time, Qin Xi called him out from outside the house.

Aza walked out and thought to himself: Sure enough, he has something to do with me.

"Girl!" Aza raised his hand towards Qin Xiang.

"Uncle Aza, I have something to ask you for help." Qin Xiang said politely: "The shop my father gave me is now occupied by my second uncle to open a teahouse, but he has not paid us rent for several years. I There is nothing we can do with our mother. Now that Uncle Aza is here, we feel confident and ask Uncle Aza to accompany me to the teahouse. My second uncle bullies us mother and daughter, but he respects his father and his people very much. , Uncle Aza will definitely get money if he goes."

Before Aza could refuse, Qin Xiang said again: "When I get the money, I will definitely thank Uncle Aza."

Aza felt happy, rolled his eyes, and suddenly asked: "Girl, what did you put in the wine at noon?"

Qin Xiang's eyes flashed slightly and she said with a smile: "Uncle Aza, did you get any benefits from drinking?"

"It's not bad. I just woke up after a good night's sleep and I feel so comfortable all over. Do you still have the wine, girl?"

"Yes, yes, but not much. This is the wine made by my husband. Many medicinal materials are used in it, which is especially good for people with hidden diseases. I have this wine recipe. Uncle Aza will help me when the time comes. I, I will give the wine recipe to Uncle Aza." "Hahaha, it's easy to talk, let's go, I will go with the girl for a while, I will definitely get the money back." Aza is in a good mood, asking for money He had it all, but with this wine recipe, even if he tried to leave the Qin family in the future, he would be able to make a lot of money.

When Aza and Qin Xi arrived at the teahouse, it was a time when business was good.

Su Laoer and Su Qiang were both good business people. Their smiling faces and eloquent words made them retain many regular customers.

When they saw Qin Xiang coming to the door, Su Laoer and Su Qiang were both stunned, and then they had different expressions. Su Laoer frowned displeased, while Su Qiang stepped forward to greet Qin Xiang excitedly.

However, Qin Xiang had already made it clear to Aza that everything would be left to Aza.

Aza pretended to be arrogant, pushed Su Qiang away, pointed at Su Lao Er and said: "Su Lao Er, I am my master's long-term follower, do you still remember me?"

Su Laoer remembered it the moment he saw him, and his heart skipped a beat. They could bully Qin Xiang and his daughter, but they would never dare to offend Qin Xiongfei.

So, he came over with a smile on his face and invited Aza and Qin Xiang to talk in the side room.

Qin Xiang didn't need to speak at all. Within half an hour, nearly 200 taels of silver notes were all obtained.

The two of them said goodbye and left. Su Lao Er was only half angry to death and had no intention of doing business. They handed the teahouse to their nephew Su Qiang and returned home.

When Huang and Su Xiaomiao heard that all the rent had been given to Qin Xiang, Su Xiaomiao couldn't help but went crazy with joy. She pulled Huang and headed towards Qin's house, ignoring Su Laoer who looked unhappy.

Tao Niang came out with the child in her arms and carefully comforted Su Lao Er. Su Lao Er felt that both Huang and Su Xiaomiao were white-eyed wolves, but the one in front of him was the caring person, and his heart was a little more towards Tao Niang.

After Qin Xiang returned, she did not give the banknote to Su, but hid it herself.

Aza got the letter and promised to give him a drink tomorrow. He happily went back to his room and lay down. His body felt comfortable and the room was warm, so he fell asleep again without realizing it.

Lan Hua had arrived a long time ago. Su told Qin Xi that Lan Hua was very diligent and took the initiative to help in the kitchen as soon as she arrived.

Qin Xiang didn't care about this. She just said that she seemed to have cooked before, so she probably liked cooking.

Later, Qin Xiang said to her mother: "Mom, I will go to the backyard first. If Su Xiaomiao comes, please ask mom to bring her to the backyard to find me."

Mrs. Su was already used to her daughter's strangeness. She poked her forehead with her finger and said helplessly and dotingly: "You!"

Qin Xiang returned to the main room in the backyard, lit the stove, boiled water to make tea, and buried a piece of Qibao Xiangbian under the ashes, then sat down to drink tea, while slowly reading a book and waiting for her cousin to come.

As expected, Su Xiaomiao arrived within half an hour, and Huang was also present.

Lian'er trotted open the door, but no one came in. She raised her head and wrinkled her nose and took a deep breath. For a moment, she forgot what she was doing. Instead, she said in surprise: "Girl, this room smells so good!"

Qin Xiang put down the book, smiled gently at this cute little girl, and asked, "Are you here for something?"

"Ah, I almost forgot." Lian'er stuck out her tongue: "My wife asked Lian'er to ask the girl. The girl's cousin and second aunt came together. Did they bring them to this house together?"

"Second aunt is here too?" Qin Xiang smiled with unclear meaning and said: "Since aunt is here, naturally invite her over."
