Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 27 Countryside [-]

"Look, that's our home." Xiao Chenyu pointed to the house at the foot of the mountain in front of him with his riding crop.

At the foot of the mountain, tall mud walls form a circle, and a few blue tiles can be seen from the roof.

"Your family." Qin Xiang was speechless for a moment.

The house where Xiao Chenyu got married was "deceived and abducted" by him.Therefore, Qin Xiang always thought that the house in Xiao Chenyu's hometown must be a dilapidated thatched house, and even the residents were a little reluctant.

But now it seems that this house at least belongs to Deva, so why would he want to get married in the town?

"Didn't you say that you almost left the house?" Qin Xi became curious about Xiao Chenyu for the first time.

"It's true that I didn't get anything back then, but I still got 50 taels of silver." Xiao Chenyu was very happy that Qin Xiang took the initiative to ask him about it, so he explained it to Qin Xiang carefully.

"However, I bought land and built a house with 50 taels of silver, and there was still some left. However, my mother suddenly became seriously ill at that time, so I almost had to buy all the medicine."

Qin Xiang understood that the situation at that time was probably a big blow to her mother-in-law. After her husband passed away, she didn't even have a home. Fortunately, she still had a son to take care of her, otherwise she might not have been able to delay it for three years.

Xiao Chenyu told Qin Xiang: After the family separation, although the old house was given to the eldest brother, if he wanted to build a house in the village, the clan leader would also point out a piece of land to him.

But at that time, Xiao Chenyu was full of resentment and young and energetic, so he rejected the chief's hypocritical kindness and resolutely moved out of the village.

His mother advised him not to have too much trouble with the clan. Xiao Chenyu was single and weak, so he listened to his mother's words.He announced to the outside world that he wanted to honor his father, so he chose the foot of the mountain to buy land and build a house.

This makes sense, because the mountain behind is the ancestral tomb of the Xiao family.If it weren't for the fact that family means so much to a person, Xiao Chenyu would have wanted to leave the Xiao family at that time.

After the house was built and his mother was settled, Xiao Chenyu was busy thinking of ways to make money. Naturally, he couldn't go to school, and he gave up his ambition to gain fame.

Some of the medicines in his mother's prescription were too expensive, so Xiao Chenyu went up the mountain to pick them up by himself. Xiao Chenyu had been studying since he was a child and was considered a weak scholar who didn't have much to do with childbirth. So at that time, every time he went to the mountain, Liu Xi would accompany him, several times. Whenever he encounters danger, Liu Xi will save him at all costs.

Now when he talks about what happened back then, he only finds it interesting, but a little sad. But back then, he just felt that the sky was about to collapse, but his little backbone was holding the family up.

"Later, my mother passed away and I no longer needed to go up the mountain. I had more time, so I started writing storybooks and selling them for money. I could also make some money by selling paintings at the end of the year and the beginning of the year."

Therefore, he once said that you can actually try anything other than murder and arson. It seems that he was not talking randomly.

"Here, get out of the car!"

The carriage stopped at the gate. Xiao Chenyu jumped out of the car, put his arm around Qin Xiang's waist and hugged her down. He whispered in her ear: "So, don't worry, I can support you."

Qin Xiang pushed him away hard and looked around. When she saw no one there, she glared at Xiao Chenyu and said, "I have more money than you, so it's not certain who will support whom?"

Xiao Chenyu laughed wantonly and took a step back, bowed to Qin Xiang, and said with a smile: "Then Mrs. Lao will take care of me."

Qin Xi looked at the man in front of her and asked, "Why didn't I think you were so glib before?"

"You haven't walked in before, so I was afraid of scaring you, but now, hehe!" Xiao Chenyu said shamelessly, looking as if he was happy to have embraced the beauty.

Qin Xiang ignored the man who was rubbing his nose and face. He looked around and heard only the chirping of birds in the forest and the sound of the wind blowing on the treetops. She felt inexplicably happy and sighed: "It's so quiet here."

In the previous life, Qin Xiang lived in the town when she was a child. Although she did not go out, when Qin Xiong was young, there were still many servants in the family. It was not until Qin Xiong could not fly and the family situation gradually deteriorated that the Su family eliminated the unnecessary servants. All resigned.Later, I went to the Qin family. I had to learn the rules before getting married. I lived in the Qin family for half a year.The Qin family is a big family, and there are many people. During those few months, they lived in the same house with the concubine of the Qin family, and with the two maids, it was very lively.

As for marrying into a wealthy family, it goes without saying that there are many concubines and concubines, and even the grandchildren are older than Qin Xiang. They are all scheming and cruel, and none of them is good.

Therefore, Qin Xiang felt happy when she saw this small courtyard.She actually hated the days of intrigue, but she couldn't be alone in a place with people and enjoy a moment of peace.

"This wall is so high!" Qin Xiang walked to the bottom of the wall and looked up. The wall was very high now, and there were many broken tiles embedded in the wall. It was not easy for anyone to climb over the wall.

Xiao Chenyu never expected that his small house in the countryside could make Qin Xiang smile purely.

"My house is a single-family house, so I have to be on guard against thieves and robbers. Also, since it is close to a mountain, I am afraid that wild animals in the mountains will escape. If I am not at home, I am afraid that my mother will be in danger, so the wall is particularly tight. Tall and strong."

With that said, Xiao Chenyu took out the key and opened the door, letting Qin Xiang go in first. He drove the carriage into the backyard through the side door.

Qin Xiang looked around the house.

The main room doubles as a dining room, with two bedrooms on the left and right. Going out from the back door of the main room is the backyard. Vegetables were planted in the yard before, but now it is deserted.The kitchen, toilet and woodshed are all in the backyard.

Qin Xiang suddenly thought of her husband. He must also like this kind of yard. He only needs a burner of incense, a cup of tea and a book to spend leisurely time.

I wonder if your husband has successfully reached his hometown?How long can his bones last?

The back door opened, bringing Qin Xiang back from his thoughts.

Xiao Chenyu drove the carriage to the woodshed and took the horse to the vacant shed next to it. After tying the horse rope, he took the grass tied behind the carriage to feed the horse.

Seeing him busy in an orderly manner, Qin Xi suddenly said: "Actually, we can live here after we get married. Why do you need to go to the town to get a house?"

Last night, Qin Xiang already knew how the house in the town came to be. At that time, Qin Xiang had a thought in her mind: This person is very good at deception.

"You want to live in the country, are you willing to give up your mother-in-law? Besides, I'm afraid you won't like life in the country." After Xiao Chenyu fed the horse, he carried a bundle of firewood from the woodshed and walked to the kitchen.

Seeing this scene, Qin Xiang knew that he was going to cook, so she followed him to help.

There have been no fireworks in the kitchen for a long time, and it is a bit deserted. The pots and bowls need to be boiled and washed before they can be used.

Qin Xi wanted to help, but was powerless.

Seeing her embarrassment, Xiao Chenyu felt funny in his heart.Originally, Qin Xiang gave people the impression of being cold, arrogant and lonely.Now I find that she will like this small yard in the countryside, and will also be overwhelmed by the kitchen work.

After he lit the stove fire, he pulled Qin Xi over and asked her to sit on the stool: "Just watch the fire for me. When the fire is low, add some sticks."

Then he looked at her new red clothes and felt something was wrong: "Your clothes will get dirty, so why don't you just sit aside and talk to me. I'm used to doing this kind of work, and I'll be fine soon."

Qin Xiang looked down and shook his head: "It doesn't matter, I just have to be careful."

Xiao Chenyu stopped insisting and suddenly smiled: It turns out it's good to have someone to accompany you, even if it's just cooking.
