Marrying into a poor family

Mrs. Liu also came to the incense shop to choose incense.

Qin Xiang went to accompany her in person. Hearing that Mrs. Liu was giving a gift, she helped her come up with some ideas and put together some perfume boxes. They looked exquisite and generous, but in fact they didn't cost much.

Mrs. Liu was happy and followed Qin Xiang to her room to sit for a while.

"Every time when the New Year comes, my head hurts. I have to think about who should give gifts? What kind of gifts are suitable? How to raise money at home? Well, others say that I have a good life. I don't have to wait in front of my parents-in-law when I get married. , and you still have to be the master of your own affairs. But who knows the pain involved?"

No matter in her previous life or in this life, Qin Xiang had never served her parents-in-law, so she didn't have much emotion. However, she had also seen her daughter-in-law being manipulated by her mother-in-law.

"The money in the four houses of the Qin family should all belong to your family. Why do you still have to worry about money?"

Qin Yaozu was not only the legitimate son of the fourth brother of the Qin family, but also the only son. Of course, excluding those bastards who came back later.

Mrs. Liu's cheeks were slightly red, and she complained after sighing: "When my father-in-law was still alive, my mother-in-law was very talkative and subsidized us a lot every year. Later, something happened to my father-in-law, and my husband only found out when he returned home. There is not much left in the industry long ago.”

Qin Xiang raised his eyebrows: "How could that happen?"

"My father-in-law spends a lot of money outside." When Mrs. Liu said this, she looked at Qin Xiang with some embarrassment.

Qin Xiang understood what Liu meant. Apart from social activities, most of Qin Xiongfei's expenses were spent on women. Of course, there were also the children of outside wives. Those who liked him would always have to give something.

It's like I also took a sum of money from Qin Xiongfei.

"To tell you the truth, my mother-in-law subsidized us a lot of money before, just like our current yard was bought with her money. All the expenses at home were also subsidized by her. Otherwise, with your brother's little salary, you can survive It would be nice to go down there.”

Qin Xiang just nodded but didn't say much.

"Also, your brother's current official position was not made possible by money. Speaking of which, he is talented and intelligent, but the most indispensable thing in this officialdom is smart people. If my mother's family didn't have connections, even if the Qin family had Money can’t be found.”

Qin Xiang couldn't help but think of Xiao Chenyu. He was somewhat similar to Qin Yaozu. They were both young geniuses. However, Qin Yaozu had a smooth journey. In addition to the full support of his family, he also had a good natal family to protect him.

But Xiao Chenyu, except that his family situation was not as good as Qin Yaozu's, he didn't even study for many years, but worked all day long for two or three taels of silver.

Moreover, his wife's identity is also embarrassing and cannot bring him any benefits at all!

I heard Ms. Liu complain again: "In the past, when we didn't live with my mother-in-law, we had a very good relationship. I always thought that those daughters-in-law who spoke ill of my mother-in-law in private were unvirtuous and could not serve her sincerely."

"But when I came here, I realized that people are really close and easy to get along with but difficult to get along with."

It seemed that the conversation started, and Ms. Liu regarded Qin Xiang as someone she could talk to. Anyway, she was not worried that Qin Xiang would complain to her mother-in-law.

"My mother-in-law used to be very sensible, spoke softly, and took great care of my emotions. But I don't know if she was stimulated by my father-in-law's affairs, but now my mother-in-law is very difficult to speak."

Seeing that Qin Xiang was silent but still listening quietly, Mrs. Liu continued: "She is quite restrained towards me, but she is very picky towards her own son. I can't even understand her." What do you want to do?"

"The fourth wife is angry and can't vent her anger, but after all, you are marrying at a low age, and she is naturally wary of the influence of her mother's family. Therefore, she can only vent her anger on people with the blood of the Qin family." " You mean, she hates the Qin family?" Ms. Liu was shocked and asked.

"I'm just guessing, there's no way of knowing." Qin Xi spread her hands innocently, expressing her irresponsibility for her words and deeds.

Mrs. Liu pondered for a while and shook her head slightly: "But why is she so good to Qin Yao? Isn't Qin Yao's surname also Qin?"

"Qin Yao is a woman, and she is also the reflection of Mrs. Qin Si's heart. She hopes that Qin Yao will live well, as if she herself will also live well."

Mrs. Liu opened her mouth, but she couldn't refute, but she had no worries about food and clothing since she was a child, and she was pampered and raised carefully. She still didn't understand the complex relationships and people's hearts in the Qin family.

"My mother-in-law is also a poor woman. Can you stop hating her?" Ms. Liu tried to ease the tense situation between Qin Xiang and her mother-in-law.

"I get along with you because there is no direct conflict with you; Qin Yaozu and I can be at peace because, from beginning to end, he has not done anything bad to me, and his attitude is still kind."

When Qin Xiang said this, her face suddenly became serious.

Mrs. Liu stared blankly at this somewhat unfamiliar Qin Xiang.

He then heard Qin Xi continue to say: "But the most I can do for Mrs. Qin Si is not to continue to be her enemy. Of course, as long as she doesn't continue to provoke me, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't care about the face of you and your wife." ”

"That's not true, she is also a poor woman who was hurt by her father-in-law." Mrs. Liu felt that she was a little embarrassed and defended herself.

"She once thought about marrying me to the old man from the Xie family. Later, by some strange combination of circumstances, I got married ahead of schedule. She took Qin Shao back and planned to marry him. Qin Shao also thought of a way to marry me. He killed someone. No, it finally fell on Qin Yan. You have also seen Qin Yan's situation, how can you still say that Mrs. Qin Si is innocent and pitiful? "

"But, after all, it was your existence that led to the tragedy of my mother-in-law." Mrs. Liu felt something was wrong even after she said it.

"Given the choice, who would want to be an outhouse? Did I choose to be reborn in my mother's belly?" Qin Xiang's always calm expression was cracked: "I don't deny that Mrs. Qin Si was hurt, but... She should not inflict these harms on me and seek benefits."

In the end, it was the Lius and his wife who got this benefit. Qin Xi didn't say this, but Liu already understood it, and her face turned red with embarrassment.

"My husband did not get help from the Xie family, and we did not use the sisters' marriage to gain anything!" Mrs. Liu could only defend herself and Qin Yaozu.

Qin Xi also calmed down: "Actually, I can forget all these things. It is true that our existence made Mrs. Qin Si uncomfortable. However, Mrs. Qin Si should not have poisoned my mother. She wanted my mother's life. I cannot forgive you for this."

Ms. Liu blinked her eyes, her thoughts a little confused, and she asked after a long time: "I want your mother's life? This"

Qin Xi smiled, rather mockingly: "She is a good mother-in-law to you, a good mother to Qin Yaozu, and she devotes herself to Qin Yao. To you, she is a good mother-in-law and a good mother, but she is a poor mother-in-law." Women, but to me, they are scary people.”

Seeing that Mrs. Liu was speechless, Qin Xiang's lips curled up slightly, and she added lightly: "Do you know why Qin Yan endured hardship in the Xie family without daring to resist at all?"
