Pampered Tian's Wife: The Little Weaver Girl in the Farmhouse

Chapter 59

Since Mrs. Liu has made up her mind to let the two daughters learn to work, of course they will not waste time.So at dinner that day, Mrs. Liu directly announced that every morning, Qi Xiumei and Qi Xiuyan, apart from hunting pigweed in the morning, would also go up the mountain to release silkworms with Qiaoyun, and learn weaving in the afternoon. .

"Mother, why did you ask us to go up the mountain too? Isn't that because of Qiaoyun? She is enough for herself, why use us?" Xiumei was very puzzled, she didn't understand why her mother asked them to do it. live.They have to wash the family's clothes every day, and they have to feed the pigs with pigweed. They are already tired enough. What is mother going to do?

"No reason, all of you are old and young, and this is for your own good. When you get married, can you just do nothing for a day and embroider all day long? Learn one more craft, and then you can live your life Be generous." Liu's words were so straightforward that it was impossible to refute them.

Xiumei and Xiuyan were all astonished, they never thought that their mother would say that.Xiumei was a little angry, she was going to marry Mr. Hu, what would a family like Mr. Hu use her for?The most important thing for her now is to take good care of her, and go up the mountain to be exposed to wind and rain. What if it gets dark and ugly, and Mr. Hu doesn't like her?
"Mother, you forgot, there is Mr. Hu. What if Mr. Hu doesn't like your daughter if she goes to work in the mountains all day and gets tanned?" Xiumei said at the time because she had a thick skin.

Mrs. Liu glared at Xiumei, "Don't mention Mr. Hu, how long has it been? Why haven't you seen him come to propose marriage? After eating so many good things from our family for nothing, and drinking that jar of wine, it's too late I don’t see him giving an accurate answer. I see, you’d better not think about it, for a family like Mr. Hu, how many ladies are lining up to marry him, and it’s your turn?”

After all, Mrs. Liu is older and has experienced many things. Although she had great hopes for Mr. Hu at the beginning, but after careful consideration these days, she always feels that this matter is not very appropriate.If Mr. Hu was really interested in Xiumei, he would have brought someone to propose marriage long ago, but ten days have passed since the Dragon Boat Festival, and there is no sign of Mr. Hu.

Liu's originally eager heart gradually cooled down, and when he calmed down, he felt that this matter was a bit unreliable. "You don't even think about it, Mr. Hu looks like he is in his early twenties, right? With his family background, how could it be possible that the family didn't marry him a wife? What's the matter? We raised you so much, how can we let you go to marry him?" He is a concubine?"

"Mother, don't say that. With Mr. Hu's condition, it's not enough for Xiumei of our family to marry and be the head wife. If you want to be an aunt, how can I say this? Look at Mr. Hu's sincerity. If he is willing to pay 80 taels of silver, it will prove that he is still sincere to us Xiumei. Even if he is married, he will definitely be favored by an aunt, so it's okay."

On the other side, Qi Yongyuan came out of nowhere suddenly.In his opinion, Mr. Hu is indeed a rare candidate, and his own sister is indeed a high-ranking candidate.Of course, being a concubine is another matter.

As soon as Qi Yongyuan said this, Qi Tiankui, Liu Shi, and Qi Xiumei all stared at him, "What are you talking about? How can a good family send their daughters to be concubines? That's what we farmers can do." What's the matter? If you keep talking nonsense, kid, be careful I'll slap you both." Qi Tiankui glared at his son and said.

In the eyes of the country people, it is very shameful for a good girl to be a concubine.I'd rather marry a poor boy than a good matchmaker, than be a concubine for someone else?Of course, those people who are obsessed with money will say something else, that kind of people are blind to money, and just take it if they have it, no matter what the reputation is or not.

What can the Qi family say? Although Qi Tiankui and the Liu family love money and are stingy, the Qi family's ancestors have never sent their daughters to be concubines. They don't expect to be pointed at the spine and scolded. "No, our old Qi's family is a big family in the village, and they are also respectable people, but we can't afford to lose this person." Qi Tiankui repeated again.

The attitude of Qi Tiankui and Liu's made Xiumei's heart skip a beat.She went to see Mr. Hu during the day. After the two of them got entangled, Qi Xiumei once asked Mr. Hu when he would marry her.At that time, Mr. Hu was hesitating and avoiding the topic, but later he vaguely revealed that he already had a wife in his family, but the daughter-in-law was ill in bed for a long time, and she couldn't bear him a son and a half.

Mr. Hu's words at the time meant that the daughter-in-law's life was not long, and if someone could give him a child or something, he would definitely be able to become his wife.

Xiumei was a little resentful at the time, but the deal was done, and many things could not be turned back.She also made up her mind, and planned to come back and talk to her parents slowly, to see what they meant and whether they would agree with her and Young Master Hu.But the attitude of her parents tonight gave Xiumei a bad premonition that things between her and Mr. Hu might not go so smoothly.

This is how to do?It's not easy for her to meet someone like Mr. Hu who has such an outstanding character and family background, so she doesn't want to just give up.Besides, they have done what they should do, and now she is Mr. Hu's man. If this fails, what will she do in the future?
Qi Xiumei was in a panic at the moment, and really didn't know what to do next.The food in front of her was not attractive to her, so she simply pushed the bowl and chopsticks forward, "Father, mother, I am full. Mr. Hu will definitely come to propose marriage, you just wait. Anyway, I don't want to go up the mountain, Whoever wants to go will go." After finishing speaking, he turned and left.

Seeing the back of her daughter leaving, Mrs. Liu was also a little annoyed. How dare the daughter she raised dare to show her face now? "Damn ghost, look at your good girl. If she doesn't come, she dares to stand up to me. It's not a big deal. If she really goes out, she can't leave us all behind. ?" Mrs. Liu got angry at Qi Tiankui.

Since Qi Tiankui's face was ruined, he was bored seeing Liu Shi, but now Liu Shi shouted at him again, Qi Tiankui was annoyed.

"Isn't that what you are used to? I said a long time ago that daughters can't be spoiled like that, but what about you? You just don't listen, and you want to spoil them to the sky. Now, it's okay? I don't listen to you anymore, I What will you do in the future?" Qi Tiankui shouted at Mrs. Liu.

Mrs. Liu is aggrieved, "Okay, you all don't take me seriously now, don't you all despise me? The good girl I raised has harmed me and made me into this state. Now That's good, even you are bothering me." Liu opened his throat and howled.
