Pastoral little master

Chapter 211
Qiduo recognized the girl Lean Jingjing.

Her name is Tan Lihua, she is 15 years old and looks ordinary.

Because her skin is darker than that of ordinary girls, she got a nickname, Heipi'er.

"I heard what my mother said." Tan Lihua said with a mysterious face.

"Really, tell us quickly." Everyone's interest was suddenly aroused, and the room fell silent.
There is nothing special about Tan Lihua herself, but her old mother, Ge Shi, is a famous gossip woman in Tanjiazhuang, and she likes to spread rumors.

Ge's favorite thing to do on weekdays is to run around and find out what's wrong with his family.

Because of this, although Ge Shi's words are not entirely true, they have some evidence, and they are not fabricated out of thin air.

So everyone wanted to hear what kind of family Damei was going to introduce to Sandao, why didn't Sandao reveal a few words.
Although Qiduo, Liuju, and Sizao were present, everyone knew that their relationship with Sandao's family was not very good, so they didn't avoid them if they had anything to say.

Seeing that everyone was paying attention to what she said, Tan Lihua raised her chin proudly, "Let me tell you, I heard that it is the Xiang family who opened a powder shop in the county, and he is the only son. The family is very rich."

"Ah, Santao is really lucky. After marrying in the county town, she will be a townsman. It's great to be able to wear gold and silver, eat delicious food and drink hot food." Immediately, some people became envious and hated.

Qiduo looked at Liuju, who pouted and shook his head, expressing that he hadn't heard about it.

Then she looked at Si Zao with questioning eyes.

Si Zao also had a puzzled look on his face, as if he hadn't heard it mentioned by his family.If there is such a good marriage, why don't you listen to Erniang.According to Erniang's temperament, I'm afraid this tail has been raised long ago.

Seeing that Sandao was able to marry in the county, Huang Hua couldn't help but feel sour. Before, everyone was still envious of her, but now they turned around and envied Sandao.

"What your mother said may not be true. If there is such a good thing, why don't you listen to Tan Erniang. Besides, how can people in the city think of our country girl?" Huang Hua looked disbelieving said.

When everyone heard it, it was the same reason, and they all said that Tan Lihua was talking nonsense.
"I haven't finished my sentence yet, why are you in a hurry." Tan Lihua rolled her eyes at the others, and continued, "But, although this Young Master Xiang is the only son, he was born extremely ugly, like that door god, in the city I couldn't marry a suitable girl, so I had no choice but to look for it in the countryside."

"Hey, I thought it was a good marriage. It turns out that I want to marry an ugly monster. No wonder Sandao has no cheek to say it."

"You can't say that, as long as the family is rich, you can enjoy happiness if you marry, so what if you are ugly, anyway, you can't eat if you look good." Someone immediately retorted, this one is more realistic.

"That's right, it doesn't matter whether he is ugly or good-looking, as long as he has money." As soon as he said this, most people agreed.
Most of the families in Tanjiazhuang are not well-off. They are exhausted all year round, and sometimes they don’t have enough to eat or wear warm clothes. The biggest wish of these girls is to marry a rich family and wear gold and silver to eat and drink. Spicy, as for the others, they don't have too high requirements.

It's all messy.

Tan Lihua didn't finish talking, she blinked her eyes, and continued to say with a mysterious face, "Don't make noise, you still think that Young Master Xiang is ugly, and the Xiang family might not like Sandao..."
Hearing Tan Lihua's words, Qiduo couldn't help but think of Mrs. Xiang whom she met at Tan Damei's house last time, and suspected that she was going on a blind date with Sandao that time.

It's just that it's been so long, why hasn't the marriage been settled yet?
Hearing this, she didn't want to listen any more, and she didn't want other people to talk about Santao anymore.

Although Sandao is Tan Deyin's daughter, she is also from the Tan family, and she is also from the Tan family. When she talks about Sandao's scandal, she doesn't look very good.

So, Qiduo looked at Tan Lihua and interrupted her, "Sister Lihua, it's better for you to talk less about this unseen matter, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
"Qiduo, it's not a matter of disappearance. My mother went to my grandmother's house yesterday. There is a family next door to my grandmother who is doing business in the county. It happens to be next door to Xiang's powder shop. She heard what Mrs. Xiang said. .” Tan Lihua hurriedly explained in good words.

If it was before, she might refute Qiduo with a vicious voice.

Now Qiduo's family's status in Tanjiazhuang is not the same as before, and everyone's tone of voice has become awe-inspiring.
"Sister Lihua, it turns out that your mother also heard it from others. I thought she saw it with her own eyes and heard it with her own ears. How can you be so sure that that person is not telling lies? Some people like to chew other people's food behind their backs. nonsense.

Think about it, if there is such a thing, how can we not know about it.So, don't spread the word about Sister Sandao, you don't know my second mother's temper.If she knew that you were talking about Sister Sandao like this behind her back, she would definitely not let it go easily, but don't blame me for not reminding you. " Qiduo said seriously.

Don't let Sandao become a joke among others, there must be nothing good to say about Tan Lihua.

Seeing that Qiduo had said this, Tan Lihua didn't dare to say the following words, but nodded in agreement.
After speaking, she dragged Liuju and Sizao out, not wanting to listen any more.

"Yo, little Qiduo is really capable now, look at her strict manner of speaking, it really looks like that." As soon as Qiduo left, someone whispered about her immediately.

"That's right, haven't you heard that Uncle Tan said in front of everyone in our village that Qiduo is the head of his family now. If Qiduo can't, Uncle Tan can say that." Someone answered talk.

"That's right, even the patriarch looks at Qiduo differently. I really didn't expect that she, who had been silent before, would become a catastrophe after she opened her mouth." Some people agreed.

"I heard from my grandma that people like Qiduo have endured the hardships ahead of time, and they will have great achievements in the future." Someone said enviously.
"Tch, what's the future? How much can a girl's family have." Some people disdain.

Each had their own reasons, but they finally exposed the matter of Sandao.
Later, Huang Hua saw that the building was very crooked, said a few words to the point, straightened the building, and continued to congratulate her on her engagement.
After leaving Huanghua's house, Sizao pouted at Qiduo, "Qiduo, you are so kind, Erniang and Ershu treated your family like that, and you still speak for them."

"Sister Sizao, in fact, I am helping ourselves. Sister Sandao is from the Tan family, and we are also from the Tan family. If her reputation suffers any loss, what else can we get from following behind?" Huanghua Tanlihua Compared with others, we and Sister Sandao are the same family." Qi Duo was full of solemnity.

Sizao and Liuju thought for a while, and they both nodded.

"Sister Sizao, is it true what Lihua said about Sister Santao?" Liuju asked curiously with his eyes gleaming with gossip.
"It's also the first time I've heard of this." Sizao shook his head.

"No way, you and Erniang's family live together, so you haven't heard any rumors? Seeing that what Lihua said is well-defined and well-known, it doesn't seem to be fake." Liuju said.
Sizao thought about it seriously, and replied, "After what you said, I think Sister Sandao is a little strange recently."

"Why is it so strange?" Liuju perked up and asked immediately.

Qiduo looked at Liuju speechlessly.

Liuju made a face at her and grinned.
"Recently, I feel that Sister Sandao is a little out of control and rarely leaves the house. When we were eating together before we separated, we often saw her holding a bowl in a daze, not knowing what she was thinking, and was scolded by her grandma. Many times.

By the way, and also, on the day when the second uncle came back, I saw sister Sandao and the third brother leaving the yard together, and I didn't know where they went. When they came back, I saw that sister Sandao's eyes were red and swollen, as if The appearance of crying.

Anyway, I feel that something is wrong, but I don't know exactly what's going on. " Sizao said everything he knew.

Hearing what Sizao said, Qiduo thought of Han Hecheng for some reason.

Intuitively, the reason why Sandao is like this has a lot to do with Han Hecheng.

Thinking about the angry look in Sandao's eyes when she asked the Han family about their marriage proposal last time, she knew there must be something strange about it.

Alas, I only hope that Sister Sandao is temporarily confused, but please don't do stupid things.

Sisters Qiduo and Sizao parted ways at the gate of Tan's compound, and they returned home.

Tan Dejin was unloading the carriage, and he seemed to have just come back. He went to Yuekelai and Chunfengdeyilou to deliver clams and bean sprouts.

"Father, you're back." Qiduo and Liuju stepped forward and called affectionately.

"Hey, I'm back, where have you two been?" Tan Dejin asked with a smile.

"Huanghua is engaged tomorrow, let's go watch the fun." Liuju responded with a smile.

"Hehe." Tan Dejin grinned.

Qiduo thought about Mrs. Zhao looking for Tan Dejin, so she hurriedly said to him, "Father, grandma is looking for you, maybe it has something to do with Uncle Wu."

"Ah, what's wrong with your fifth uncle?" Tan Dejin straightened up and asked.

"I don't know either." Qiduo shook her head, her eyes sank slightly, and she thought, "Father, I suspect that Uncle Wu may be fine. Grandma looking for you must have something to do with money."

Tan Dejin was silent, thinking that what Qiduo said made sense.

"Father, how about this? In order to prevent grandma from making any excessive demands, after you go, you should call poor in front of grandma first, and block her words before talking. Our family needs too much money right now. Now I feel stretched." Qi Duo suggested.

This is not a lie. Although I earned some money in the early stage, almost all the money was invested in buying the reed flower slope, reclaiming the reed flower slope, buying saplings, buying seeds, and renovating the lotus pond.

There is also a lot of investment in repairing fish ponds, building duck sheds, buying fry and ducklings, and buying feed for ducks, etc.There are also houses in Jiangfang and Luhuapo to be rebuilt, and bricks, tiles and wood materials have been customized. These are all spent money.

This is an investment period with little return.

Now the family's income mainly comes from river clams, bean sprouts and lotus root, as well as dividends from the Food City.

The gourmet city has just started. Excluding the initial investment, the current income is not too much. In the past two months, it has only distributed 40 taels of silver.

40 taels is a lot of money for ordinary farmers, but it is not a big deal for Qiduo's family, because there are too many places to spend.

Tan Dejin naturally knew what was going on at home, "Father knows."

Then Qiduo took the horse back to the yard to feed, and Tan Dejin went to the front yard to meet Mrs. Zhao.
