Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 18 Crazy [-]

The door of Xiao's house was open, and several delivery cattle carts were parked at the door. This was in preparation for Xiao Hanyang's engagement in the future.

That day, Mr. Chen, the owner of Chen's Bank, personally came to talk to Xiao Hanyang's father. After the conversation, Mr. Chen left. Xiao Hanyang's father angrily quarreled with Zhao Cuihua and then settled on the engagement.

Zhao Cuihua didn't know who to be angry with, so she proposed to advance the engagement date to the eighteenth day of the first lunar month. The reason was that Xiao Hanyang was going back to the county school to study, and anyone with eyes knew that this day happened to be the day when her brother-in-law Xiao Chenyu was getting married.

Rumors about the discord between the Xiao brothers are nothing new, and everyone treats them as a joke.Especially now that Xiao Chenyu seems to have no future at first sight, but Xiao Hanyang is different. It is said that all the county students like him very much, and his future has unlimited prospects.

In addition, everyone in the Xiao family is looking towards the boss of the Xiao family, which shows that the Xiao family is optimistic about Xiao Hanyang.

In order to suppress Xiao Chenyu, Zhao Cuihua posted a message for all her relatives and friends to attend the engagement banquet, which would definitely make Xiao Chenyu's wedding extremely deserted.

Zhao Cuihua was looking down at a basket of vegetables. There were very few fresh fruits and vegetables in the first month. These were vegetables grown in the greenhouses of wealthy families in the county. They were sent by the Chen family at a high price to find a rich in-law who would please her. There are benefits too.

When Su Xiaomiao rushed in, her mind that had been clear for a moment or two after coming out of the house was instantly shocked by this scene. She rushed forward and kicked over the fruit and vegetable basket, and shouted out what Zhao Cuihua had said to her. .

Zhao Cuihua was stunned for a moment, then she suppressed her anger and called to the family servants to pull Su Xiaomiao into the room to talk.

At this time, Mrs. Huang had already chased her. She originally wanted to persuade her daughter to go home, but now when she saw someone pulling Su Xiaomiao, she immediately rushed forward and started fighting with the person pulling Su Xiaomiao. In the chaotic situation, Mrs. Huang deservedly She was a woman who grew up in the countryside. She was quite aggressive. She turned around and rushed towards Zhao Cuihua who was standing aside.

Zhao Cuihua is very scheming, but she also needs to slowly plan to win some hearts, but facing the irrational mother and daughter, she has no chance of winning.

The people who came to deliver the food were all servants from various families. They didn't take it too seriously to watch the excitement, didn't say anything to help, and even made noises and set up rice seedlings on the sidelines.

Qin Xiang stood in the yard, listening to the noise coming from the Xiao family across the wall, and called for the clever ghost Lian'er: "You are young, follow me and have a look. If you can, take advantage of Su Xiaomiao's waist when no one is paying attention." Get the sachet back."

Lian'er liked doing this kind of work the most, so she quickly put down the sweeping broom and ran away.

Mrs. Su and Aunt Sang were also alarmed. They came out of the house and stood in the yard to listen. Mrs. Su seemed to hear Mrs. Huang's voice and asked Qin Xiang quickly: "Where is your second aunt?"

Qin Xiang pointed to the next door: "She and Su Xiaomiao are next door."

"Are they going to cause trouble next door?" Su Shi was startled and wanted to go over and help break up the fight.

However, her arm was held by Qin Xiang. Su turned around and met Qin Xiang's extremely dark eyes: "Mom, this matter has nothing to do with you. Don't get involved, or you will get angry."

Su wanted to defend herself, she wanted to say that she was your aunt, she wanted to say how could you become so indifferent, and she wanted to say many more things, but in the end her lips trembled and she didn't say a word.

Qin Xiang saw Su's disagreement, but she had no intention of explaining. Instead, she said coldly: "Mom, you said you would listen to me. Regarding this matter, my daughter hopes that your mother will not meddle in other matters."

After saying that, she turned back to the backyard. Qin Xiang felt that the backyard was her own place. The fragrance in the room could make her feel at peace for a moment. Otherwise, who would be crazy?

"Madam, I think the girl is right. You shouldn't interfere in this matter. No one in your natal family respects you, so why do you have to make the girl unhappy because of them?" Aunt Sang saw it clearly and accepted Qin Xiang's request. With such changes, I even feel that the Qin family now has a backbone and can no longer be bullied by others as before.

Mrs. Su lowered her head and wiped away tears. Aunt Sang helped her into the back room. They were counting the dowry before and the things in the room had not yet been sorted out.

"I know she resents me in her heart. Alas!" Su sighed after sitting down and couldn't help crying.Su's identity was that of a foreigner, and she herself felt deeply ashamed, so she rarely went out.

And Qin Xiang rarely went out and focused on studying seriously. Su knew that Qin Xiang also wanted to be recognized by her father so that she could return to the Qin family's old house. As long as she was included in the family tree, Qin Xiang would be a legitimate girl of the Qin family.

But the current Qin Xiang made her feel very strange, and even a little scared.

Aunt Sang poured a cup of tea for Mrs. Su, then knelt down to sort out the dowry and said, "Madam, she just thinks too much. According to me, it is good for our girl to be smart and have ideas. We don't understand anything." , just listen to her. Is it possible that the situation can be worse than the previous few days? "

Ms. Su lowered her head and was silent for a long time, her tears naturally drying up. She looked at Aunt Sang: "I have always been a burden to her."

Aunt Sang's back froze, and she turned to look at Mrs. Su: "Madam, sometimes even being a burden is better than being like me!"

Su's lips curled up, and a smile that was uglier than crying dissipated before it took shape. She turned her head and looked out the window. She could still faintly hear the quarrel over there, which showed that what happened next might be even more uncontrollable.

When Lian'er ran into the backyard, her face was shining with excitement. She placed the sachet in her hand on the table in front of Qin Xiang, smiling proudly and waiting for Qin Xiang's praise.

Qin Xiang's depressed mood improved and asked: "Did they fight?"

"I beat him, but I have calmed down now and went into the room to talk." Lian'er spoke very clearly and logically.

Qin Xiang wanted to deal with the sachet and stopped talking, but Lian'er hesitated and refused to leave. She couldn't look away from the fine smoke rising from the incense burner and kept sniffing hard with her little nose.

Qin Xi smiled and asked, "Do you like fragrance?"

Lian'er came back to her senses and nodded vigorously: "Every festival, my brother will pick some fragrant flowers to sell outside Xuanmiao Temple. I like to follow him very much, but the smell is not as good as the ones in the girl's room."

"Girl, can you let Lian'er serve the girl?" Lian'er suddenly changed the subject and looked at Qin Xiang expectantly.

"You are still young. You can just do some chores with your aunt. Your mother is reluctant to let you serve me." Qin Xiang knew that although Lian'er's family was not well off, her mother and brother protected her and she did not suffer too much.

"Girl!" But Lian'er suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to Qin Xiang. Qin Xiang frowned, but did not call her up, but waited for her to finish.

"Girl, please let me serve you. I heard that if you want to serve others, you have to sign a contract of sale. Lian'er is willing to sell himself to the girl." Lian'er kowtowed and straightened her upper body. The little child looked at Qin Xiang firmly. .

Qin Xiang was a little moved and asked: "Did you encounter difficulties at home?"

"My brother was beaten when he went to Xuanmiao Temple to sell things, and he was told that he was not allowed to sell things again. Without my brother to make money in the family, my mother could only support us by sewing and sewing."

Even though Lian'er came to the Qin family, the Qin family didn't say they would pay her wages, especially for such a young child. How much wages could she pay?But just not having to chew it at home has already helped a lot.

The biggest reason why Lian'er took it upon herself to sell herself to serve Qin Xiang today was that she couldn't forget the fragrance in this room, which seduced her little heart like a ghost.
