Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 17 Su Xiaomiao goes crazy
Seeing that Lian'er was about to leave, Qin Xiang called her again and asked her to come in and whispered a few instructions. Lian'er nodded her head to express her understanding, and then left briskly.

Qin Xiang opened another small porcelain box, took a thumb-sized brown incense pill and buried it in the ashes. Soon, a slightly warm fragrance filled the room.

Mrs. Su led Mrs. Huang and Su Xiaomiao to the backyard. Mrs. Huang felt a little jealous of her sister-in-law and her niece. The yard where the two women lived was actually larger than her own home.

Qin Xiang opened the door and came out to greet them before they could reach the door. Her courtesy was such that no one could fault them.

Just as Su was about to go in, she heard Lian'er's voice calling from behind her: "Madam, my aunt has something to ask you."

Qin Xiang hurriedly said to Mrs. Su, "Mother, I will entertain my second aunt and cousin. You can go and do your work."

Huang also said very generously: "Oh, my niece is getting married. You have a lot to do. Go and do your business. It's the same for me and my niece to chat."

Su had no choice but to leave, and Qin Xiang led the mother and daughter into the room.

Maybe it was because there was no window open, so the room was a little stuffy. After Huang went in and sat down, he said, "Don't you feel stuffy when you are burning charcoal in the house without opening the window?"

Qin Xiang pointed to the charcoal stove: "This is a special fragrant cake, which can also make the house feel fragrant and warm."

Mrs. Huang flattened her mouth and said sourly: "My eldest niece still enjoys it. She burns this Lao Shi Zi Xiang Pancake while drinking tea in the house. It's a pity that our family doesn't even dare to burn it on the charcoal stove."

"Second aunt is joking. Second uncle's teahouse business is very good, and he only has two children, my cousin and my newborn cousin. Isn't this money earned just for you to use?"

When Xu mentioned the new-born child, Huang's face turned unkind, and she glared at Qin Xiang, blaming her for not opening or picking up certain pots.

"Forget it, let's not mention these troublesome things. I just want to ask you today. Didn't you say that there is a way to help your cousin?" Huang was influenced by Su Laoer and her mother-in-law and didn't care much about Qin Xiang and her daughter. Go up and speak carelessly and without any scruples.

"Oh, my second aunt is here for this matter." Qin Xi lowered her eyes and smiled, shook her head and then looked up at Su Xiaomiao who was nervous at the side: "Cousin, didn't you tell your mother about my request?"

Su Xiaomiao was stunned and said stupidly: "Didn't I give you the rent for my house?"

"I asked for the rent. My second uncle gave it to me because of my father's sake. What does it have to do with my cousin?"

Seeing Qin Xiang's attitude of not buying it, Su Xiaomiao became anxious and hurriedly pulled her mother's sleeve and urged: "Mom, look at her, please speak quickly."

Qin Xiang poured tea by herself and had no intention of pouring tea into the teacups of the mother and daughter.

Huang didn't know well, so she put on a smile and said in a low voice: "Niece, after all, we are relatives. If you get married in the future, you will need these relatives to help. You can help for your mother's sake. Your cousin, okay?"

At this time, she knew how to bring up the Su family to show her face. Who usually gave her the slightest face?

However, Qin Xian also borrowed the donkey from the slope and sighed: "In the final analysis, I was also angry with my cousin for taking me to Xuanmiao Temple that day, but when I fell into the water, my cousin disappeared, and my cousin never told me from the beginning to the end. To apologize, I have some knots in my heart."

Knowing Qin Xiang's intention, Huang quickly pinched her daughter's arm and asked her to apologize to her cousin.Su Xiaomiao was also very adaptable, and immediately apologized sincerely, saying that she had left temporarily that day, and when she came back, Qin Xiang had disappeared. She also heard that a girl who looked like Qin Xiang had fallen into the water, so she was too scared to look for her. Qin Xiang, this apology was also full of justification. Qin Xiang sneered in her heart and remained silent with a cold face.

Su Xiaomiao couldn't help it, and fell to her knees with a plop, which shocked Huang and made her feel distressed. She quickly looked at Qin Xiang and wanted her to call her cousin.

Qin Xiang pretended to be very surprised and didn't react for a while. After a few breaths, she said in surprise: "Cousin, what are you doing? Get up quickly. I don't have to be accused of being unreasonable and frivolous at a young age."

Su Xiaomiao thought that if this kneeling could help her get the idea to marry Xiao Hanyang, whom she longed for, it would be worthwhile to become a talented lady.

"Cousin, was it actually someone who ordered you to call me to Xuanmiao Temple that day?" Qin Xiang asked suddenly while waiting for Su Xiaomiao to sit down.

"Ah? No, no one ordered it." Su Xiaomiao was obviously panicked, and her tone was incoherent.

Mrs. Huang stretched out her hand and patted her daughter on the back, meaning not to panic.

Su Xiaomiao also calmed down. After all, how could Qin Xi have any evidence?
"Since my cousin says no, it means no." Qin Xian nodded as if believing it, and said: "Actually, I also want to trick my cousin into giving me rent, but how can I actually get my cousin to marry Xiao Hanyang?"

Mrs. Huang was a little disappointed, but after thinking about it, she realized that she was right. How could a little girl like her, who didn't have a big door, have any way to marry her?

Seeing that Su Xiaomiao was about to get angry, Qin Xiang said hurriedly: "It is really difficult for my cousin to marry Xiao Hanyang. First, your family is not as rich as the Chen family. Second, Ms. Chen must have taken advantage of Xiao Hanyang's mother. Otherwise, with Xiao Hanyang's mother's temperament, even if the Chen family is a bank, she may not be able to get her attention."

Su Xiaomiao was deceived by Qin Xiang, and what happened to Chen Youyou also made her angry. Her hands were clenched into fists, and the incense made her dizzy. She only felt that her mouth was dry and she wanted to Just drink a cup of cold tea.But Qin Xiang only had a teacup in front of her, so she couldn't grab it and pour tea.

Although Huang also felt a little dry in the mouth, it was not obvious, but the look in her daughter's eyes gradually became a little crazy. She became a little worried, grabbed her daughter's hand and asked, "What's wrong? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

"Mom, I know why Chen Youyou was able to marry Xiao Hanyang, and I will never let her succeed." Su Xiaomiao answered the question inappropriately, and bloodshot eyes slowly appeared in her eyes.

"What's wrong with you? Don't scare me. It's okay if this scholar can't marry. I'll just find a good family for you." Huang suddenly felt inexplicably panicked.

"Cousin, why don't you go to your second uncle to discuss it? Second uncle must have a lot of money in his hand. As long as second uncle is willing to give all the money to my cousin as a dowry, which young master in this town will not be tempted?"

When Su Xiaomiao was told by Qin Xiang, she screamed and screamed, even the veins on her neck and forehead were exposed: "Father is not willing. He wants to have a son wholeheartedly. All his things must be left to him. There is no trace of him yet." How could you give it to me, your son?"

Mrs. Huang was also a little angry: "Your father is stubborn, but mother will help you. Good boy, let's go home first, and then we can think of something else."

"No, I can't just be fooled like this." Su Xiaomiao stood up and ran out of the house aggressively.

When Mr. Huang panicked and chased after her, Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, put the dagger she was holding tightly under the table on the table, slowly picked up the kettle and poured out the fragrant cake in the stove, then stood up and pushed it away He opened the window, opened the door and walked out, looked up at the sky, took a deep breath, and smiled slowly.
