Abandoned peasant woman in the prosperous world

Chapter 20 Murder

"Little aunt!" Looking at the spineless Liu Yujie, Liu Xiaomei stomped her feet angrily.

As if Liu Yujie didn't hear it, she walked over and lifted the lid of the sugar jar, scooped two large spoonfuls of white sugar and put it on straw paper, wrapped it up and handed it to Matchmaker Chen with both hands, and said respectfully, "You can take it."

"Yujie, when did you become so stingy?" Matchmaker Chen refused to answer.Her original intention was to take away the sugar bowl, but Chen Yujie only wrapped two spoonfuls for her, with a dissatisfied expression on her face.

Liu Yujie lowered her head, showing a hint of flattery on her dark face: "These are enough for you to eat egg tea a few times."

Matchmaker Chen frowned, and said very displeasedly: "Yujie, you won't be able to get married when you're old. It's my old sister who told you about a good marriage. Why don't you think about it?"

Because Liu Yujie was born dark, although she was diligent and capable, she never talked about a good marriage.Not long ago, Matchmaker Chen told about a family named Su from the next village. Although they were poorer and had a widowed mother and only son, fortunately they were well-looking, so they agreed.Since then, the whole family regards Matchmaker Chen as a benefactor, but they always agree to their requests.

"You can't say that, thank you for the matchmaker gift my mother gave you." Liu Yujie lowered her head, a little embarrassed.

Matchmaker thank-you gifts usually range from half a penny to a penny. After talking about the marriage, Mrs. Zhao not only gave a penny to Matchmaker Chen, but also two old hens laying eggs to express their respect for Matchmaker Chen. of deep gratitude.Unexpectedly, Matchmaker Chen became more and more over the top, asking for help every now and then, and asking for things from time to time, and it was taken for granted.

Seeing that Liu Yujie refused to go her way, Matchmaker Chen immediately raised her voice and shouted: "I've never seen such a stingy girl! Today I have seen it! I don't even want to lend a bite of candy to my neighbors, and I will ask them later." I—" At this point, Matchmaker Chen stopped, waiting for Liu Yujie to apologize in trepidation.

Liu Yujie's eyes were red with grievances, and tears were rolling in her eyes: "You have wronged people by saying this. We only have this can of sugar in our family. I just wrapped a small half for you, enough for you to eat half of it." months."

After Liu Dazhuang and Mrs. Zhao gave birth to the eldest Liu Pingan, they did not conceive again for many years.Liu Yujie is considered a middle-aged girl, and has always been regarded as an eyeball baby by the whole family, and she is reluctant to say a harsh word.At this time, Liu Yujie only felt that she was stuck in her heart when Chen Matchmaker was so messing around.

"Hmph, don't take it if you don't like it!" Liu Xiaomei was not a good-natured person, and took the opportunity to snatch the sugar bag from Liu Yujie's hand, she didn't even want to give Chen Matchmaker any sugar.Unexpectedly, Matchmaker Chen, with sharp eyes and quick hands, snatched it up, stuffed it into her bosom, and groaned, "I don't know if my husband's family can bear it if you're so stingy!"

Hearing this, Liu Yujie burst into tears, feeling unspeakably humiliated.She was born ugly, so she has been working hard, thinking that although she is not beautiful, she is capable enough, and it should not be a problem to get a good marriage.But the person who came to say goodbye was either a lazy guy, or a bastard who likes to drink and fight, and no good girl is willing to marry.After surviving until today, I finally said that I had a good marriage. No matter how much I dislike Chen Matchmaker, I dare not offend her: "You go slowly."

Matchmaker Chen didn't get any cheap, the fat on her face trembled, and she walked away reluctantly.Before leaving, he gave Qin Yuyao a hard look, little hoof, it's best not to ask her to find a man, otherwise she won't introduce a stinky one to her!
"Do you think you are the Queen Mother? Who asked you to! Bah!" Liu Xiaomei spat at Chen Matchmaker's plump back.Matchmaker Chen hadn't gone far, Liu Yujie was afraid of being heard by her, so she quickly covered Liu Xiaomei's mouth: "Stop talking nonsense!"

Beside, Qin Yuyao watched coldly, frowning slightly.Of course, she could beat Chen Matchmaker so hard that she would never dare to act wild again, but what about Liu Yujie's marriage?If Matchmaker Chen harbored resentment and really tried to destroy the matchmaking, Liu Yujie would be unlucky.Neither the Zhao family nor the Li family have done anything wrong, but Qin Yuyao is not good at making her own decisions.

It was getting dark, and Li Shi and others came back: "You Zhi, I will send these two melons to your eldest aunt later—"

Before he finished speaking, he heard a childish voice from the yard: "Brother Youzhi, Brother Youzhi!" Li Shi took a closer look, smiled immediately, looked at Bao'er who was running over with two legs, and said, "Bao'er Why are you here? Have you eaten yet? Tell your Brother Youzhi to wash melons for you."

"I haven't eaten yet, I'm going to eat at your house tonight." Qin Yuyao stood under the eaves, showing a slight smile.

Liu Xiaomei's crisp voice sounded quickly: "Mother, Eldest Aunt caught a fish and brought it to us!"

"Really?" Li Shi didn't believe it, "That's really not easy, the fish in Xiushui River are the hardest to catch." Maybe it's a small fish, Li Shi thought, this Qin Shi is always so cheeky Bo, just come if there is nothing to eat, and he even found such an excuse.

Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Liu Xiaomei crackling and continued: "The eldest aunt has cooked a meal for us, grandparents, parents, wash your hands and eat!"

"Hehe, here we come." Liu Dazhuang and Mrs. Zhao didn't take it seriously either. How could Mrs. Qin, a little woman, catch fish?Mostly because there is no food in the house, it is an excuse to come to eat a few bites.

The family put down the stuff, washed their hands and sat down at the table.I saw a plate of fish with bright gorgon sauce and a sour and sweet fragrance in the middle of the table, and I was stunned at the same time!
"Sister, how did you catch such a big fish?" Mrs. Li was the most irritable, seeing a large plate full of fish on the table, she couldn't help asking hastily.The little girl, Liu Xiaomei, loves fish the most. She once asked Liu Pingan to catch it, but she couldn't catch it at all.Qin is just a little woman, how did she get caught?Next to her, Liu Xiaomei also pricked up her ears and listened, if only she could learn how to catch fish, then she would be able to eat fish every day!

Stared at by pairs of eager eyes, Qin Yuyao felt a little helpless.It's not that she refuses to say it, but that her method of catching fish is too unimaginable.If you say it, I'm afraid no one will believe it.Then he smiled and said, "If my sister-in-law likes to eat, I'll catch it later and bring it to you."

When Mrs. Li heard this, her face was a little disappointed, but she didn't ask any more questions, and raised her hand to say hello: "Eat, eat quickly, Xiaomei's saliva is almost dripping on the ground."

Liu Xiaomei withdrew her disappointed look, and quickly put two pieces of fish into Liu Dazhuang and Mrs. Zhao's bowls: "Grandpa and grandma eat first." Then she took a piece for herself, and hurriedly took a bite: "Uh! Uhhh!" Liu Xiaomei, who took a bite of the fish, stared wide-eyed. Everyone thought she had been stabbed, but she swallowed it in a hurry, and looked at Qin Yuyao with bright eyes: "It's delicious! It's sour and sweet. ! Big aunt's craftsmanship is awesome!"

"Look at this kid's happiness, eat another piece if it tastes good." Liu Dazhuang said with a smile.
