Chapter 42 Qiu Qingquan was tricked
The next day, Zhang Jinxiu got up early, put on natural light makeup, and stood excitedly at the entrance of the village, looking around.

Qiu Qingquan is now a scholar. People in the village are very happy to deal with the Qiu family. Anyone passing by will say hello and say a few words.

"Qingquan's wife, are you waiting for the donkey cart? Liu Bashi left early in the morning."

Zhang Jinxiu shook her head, with a daughter's shyness on her face, "No, Mr. Qiu and his academy have a holiday today. I'll come over and wait for him to come home."

"Oh~ young people have such good feelings, they are like glue." Someone teased.

Red clouds appeared on Zhang Jinyue's face, but he did not reply and continued to look patiently into the distance.

After a while, Liu's donkey cart came into view, with the person she had been longing for sitting on it.

Zhang Jinxiu came forward to greet her, and the donkey cart stopped just in front of her. Qiu Qingquan jumped out of the cart, took her hand, and embraced her.

"Why don't you wait at home and go outside to enjoy the breeze?" Qiu Qingquan said.

Zhang Jinxiu shook her head and said with a sweet look on her face: "I wanted to see you as soon as possible, so I told my grandmother that I would come out to pick you up."

"It's windy outside, let's go back first. I was delayed because of something today. My grandfather and grandmother are probably waiting impatiently at home."

Qiu Qingquan saw her happy face, patted her head lovingly, and pulled her back. The two of them chatted about interesting things in the academy from time to time, and the atmosphere was cheerful along the way.

"Qingquan, my precious grandson is back?"

When Mrs. Qiu saw her grandson coming back, the chrysanthemums on her face stretched out. When she saw Zhang Jinxiu holding hands with her grandson, her face shrank again. Then she turned to talk to Qiu Qingquan without looking at Zhang Jinxiu. Looking at Jinxiu, she seemed to be some kind of polluting garbage.

Zhang Jinxiu shook hands and then let go. This old woman was really an eyesore. Fortunately, Qiu Qingquan didn't interfere.

How could Qiu Qingquan not notice the undercurrent between his wife and grandmother, but he couldn't control this matter. No matter which party he favored, it would hurt the other party, so he simply pretended not to know.

He wanted to pretend that nothing happened to whitewash the peace, but Mrs. Qiu would not let him do so.

In the month that Qiu Qingquan was away, there were eight conflicts between Mrs. Qiu and Zhang Jinxiu. The old lady could not defeat Zhang Jinxiu alone, and she could not defeat Zhang Jinxiu. Every time she acted as a demon, she ended in failure.

The old man is not willing to participate in the quarrel between women, and the old lady who started the matter has no intention of upholding justice. Old lady Qiu has been holding back her anger for a long time, and now she sees her grandson. , I want to express my full grievances.

"Qingquan, divorce your wife quickly! You don't even know how I came here while you were not at home. Your wife is so lazy and doesn't talk about it, and she openly talks back to her elders..."

"Grandma." Qiu Qingquan interrupted Mrs. Qiu and stopped her from talking.

He still knew his grandmother very well. At least five of the ten sentences he said were false, and the rest were all nonsense. He was ignored at home because it was unfilial to disobey the elders, and she was from the grandmother generation. , but others may not let her go when she goes out.

Qiu Qingquan had a headache when he heard what Mrs. Qiu said. If he took his wife's side, he would probably break the old lady's heart. The old lady loved him the most and would stick to him for any good things at home.But if he stood by the old lady, his wife would probably be sad, not to mention that he had something to ask the Yue family for help when he came back this time.Both sides stared at him eagerly, and Qiu Qingquan was caught in the middle.

Fortunately, Mrs. Qiu came back at this time and dispersed the two of them, "What are you doing standing at the door? Old lady, are you ready for the meal? Qingquan hasn't been back for so long. People who study hard in the academy have lost weight, so they need to eat something." Good tonic.”

Mrs. Qiu then looked at Qiu Qingquan carefully up and down. She felt that he had indeed lost a little weight. She was not in the mood to fight with Zhang Jinxiu anymore and went back to the kitchen to cook.

Old Mrs. Qiu looked at Zhang Jinxiu and said meaningfully: "Old lady, she is a very unforgiving person, but in fact she is very soft-hearted. You are a junior, so you should be more tolerant to your elders."

Zhang Jinxiu secretly thought that the old lady was not forgiving on her words, but she was not necessarily soft on her heart. She was just treating her husband specially, but she said "yes" submissively on her face.

Both sides hit each other with a stick. Mr. Qiu considered himself a fair and strict head of the family.Seeing that the two of them could no longer quarrel and that the family was harmonious, he was very satisfied.

"How many days will Qingquan have this monthly holiday? If you need any help from home, please tell me as soon as possible. Grandpa will come up with a solution for you."

Mr. Qiu looked at his grandson with a kind expression. This was his grandson Qiu Tao, the 17-year-old scholar.

"And I, I can help too." Zhang Jinxiu had a positive attitude, fearing that she would miss this opportunity to gain goodwill.

Since his grandfather and wife brought up this topic and expressed their willingness to help, Qiu Qingquan took advantage of the situation and said, "I really have something to ask my family for help. It's like this. After I returned to college, my classmates knew that I was married and said it was a big deal. Happy events require me to treat them to a drink."

"I have been thinking for many years that we, our classmates, should treat each other to a drink, but in the end they made a fuss and went to Hongsheng Restaurant, where they cost me 50 taels of silver for one meal. I didn't have that much money, so I had to borrow some from someone. "

Speaking of this, Qiu Qingquan's eyes flashed with fierceness. If he hadn't been tricked by Gao Fuman this time, he wouldn't have owed so much debt. And the most hateful thing was that Gao Fuman was obsessed with Jinxiu.

"What?" Mr. Qiu almost shouted, and his hands shook three times. It's a total of 50 taels. The family can't afford so much money now.

Although the Qiu family has many strong men, they also eat a lot. In addition, they also support Qiu Qingquan, a scholar, so they can save a little money every year by digging and searching.

The three great joyous events in life are the time when one is named on the gold medal list, the wedding night, and meeting an old friend in a foreign land.The Qiu family had a double happiness, and it was time to celebrate it. In addition, the village chief spent a lot of money to let his granddaughter get married in a glamorous manner, so the groom's family would only have to spend more.

"You, alas!" Mr. Qiu sighed, "The last time you two got married, the family had a big party, and the family's savings over the years have been almost spent. When the eldest and the second eldest come back, I will go and talk to them. , the family should be able to scrape together about five taels of silver, but we can’t come up with more.”

Mr. Qiu said, looking at Zhang Jinxiu aside.

Judging from the last banquet, the village chief's family obviously has a surplus of food, but he can't talk about it, so he has to talk to his grandson's wife.

Qiu Qingquan obviously thought so too, looking at his wife beside him with burning eyes.
