Pastoral little master

Chapter 89 The reason
Xu's worried mood infected everyone.

Tan Dejin pursed his lips tightly, and his frown could squeeze a fly to death.

Although Erxia's engagement was not approved by Tan Dejin and the Xu family, the Tan family has accepted the Lin family's betrothal gift, and the marriage has been settled.And the Lin family doesn't care how the marriage is settled. If you want to withdraw from the marriage, it's difficult in a word!

Two words, trouble!

Erxia, who has always been meek and desireless, turned pale after hearing what Liuju said about Lin Fugui's nature, and sat blankly for a long time without speaking.

Qiduo rolled her black eyes and comforted everyone, "Father, mother, fourth uncle, don't worry, this matter was decided by grandma, so grandma will solve it, let's not worry about it.

It's best if we can retire smoothly. If we can't, it has nothing to do with our family who will marry our eldest sister.We just have to stand our ground, they have calculated our family for so long, it is time for them to bear the consequences. "

"I really don't know why grandma is in such a hurry to get married for eldest sister. It's really strange." Liu Ju said in a very puzzled manner.

"What's so strange about this, I guess the Lin family's dowry gift should be very attractive, because we have already separated, and grandma is worried that the attractive dowry gift will fall into our family, so she can't wait to make the marriage secretly.

Otherwise, second sister, you really think that grandma is doing it for the eldest sister's benefit, I absolutely don't believe it. "Qiduo snorted coldly, making a bold guess.

Xu Shi and Tan Dejin's eyes tightened.

They also thought about this, but after Da Lang got married, they gave up this idea, thinking that the Zhao family was just for Da Lang to marry a wife.

"Duo, no, your grandma brought over the dowry, but she's just doing it for Da Lang's sake." Tan Dejin said.

He didn't want to believe that his mother was the one who sold out her granddaughter for money, and would rather she sacrificed her granddaughter for her grandson.

Qiduo shook her head, "Father, I just saw grandma's reaction, they probably really don't know the details of the Lin family, they just trust the second uncle and the second mother too much, thinking that Liu Matchmaker is a relative of the second mother, she would not lie to them, plus The dowry was generous, so they naturally had to think less about other issues.

As for the eldest brother's marriage, I suspect that the second uncle and the others did not tell the truth to their grandma at all. The so-called explanation from the second uncle in the upper room before is the best proof.

If Grandpa knew that Da Lang's marriage was due to the elder sister's exchange, I believe he would have hesitated. When the elder sister's marriage was mentioned in front of everyone, he was really happy, not pretending. "

After getting along with each other these days, Qiduo also has some understanding of Mr. Tan's personality. Although he also values ​​money very much, he has not yet reached the point of being insane. You can tell from his performance on the day of separation.

He should also think that choosing Liulang to be sick is too much to divide the family, so he ignored Zhao's objection and gave the best land to his family.

The family is poor and everything is sad!

Qiduo once again deeply understood the meaning of this sentence, and could better understand the sadness of Mr. Tan when he decided to separate the family.

If it weren't for being poor and not knowing how to separate the family, old man Tan wouldn't have to feel guilty; if it wasn't for being poor, old man Tan wouldn't be used by Tan Deyin and his wife.

Mrs. Xu nodded, "Duo is very reasonable. In your grandma's heart, Da Lang's position is not that important. She won't go to all lengths to marry Er Xia for Da Lang's sake."

Qiduo nodded in agreement, Erxia's engagement must not be due to Zhao's sincerity for Da Lang, but definitely because of other interests.

Liuju gritted her teeth, "Grandma is really too much. Just for the sake of the dowry, she randomly agreed to the eldest sister's marriage. Besides, we have separated now. Even if we are engaged for the eldest sister, the dowry should be given to our family. How can she keep it?" Down."

Qiduo smiled and comforted everyone, "Father, mother, second sister, in fact, we should be glad that we did not accept the dowry. Anyway, the matter of the Lin family has nothing to do with us now, so don't think too much. As a family, there is nothing we cannot overcome.

From this moment on, we have to plan carefully how to earn more money in the future so that everyone can live a good life. "

Tan Dejin and Xu nodded.

Indeed, the matter has come to this point, it is useless to think more, only to take one step at a time.

But this night is destined to be sleepless.

On the second day, Qiduo's family got up early, Tan Dejin still went to chop firewood, and Qiduo and Liuju followed to dig bamboo shoots and clams.

Er Xia said slowly to Tan Dejin, "Father, I will go with you too."

Tan Dejin shook his head, "No need, Xia, you help your mother with housework at home."

Erxia looked at Xu Shi.

Mrs. Xu saw a look of disappointment in her eyes, understood her thoughts, and said to Tan Dejin, "Dejin, let Xia go with me. There is less work at home now, and I can do it by myself."

Seeing Erxia, Qiduo really wanted to go, and said, "Yes, Dad, let Eldest Sister come with us."

Seeing this, Tan Dejin didn't agree, and nodded, "Okay, let Xia go together."

"Hey." Erxia happily agreed, and went to get the tools.

Tan Dejin took his three daughters and went out facing the morning breeze.

"Brother." Tan Debao called from behind.

Tan Dejin quickly turned around and responded, "Fourth, what's wrong?"

"I'll go to matchmaker Liu's house again today. If she's at home, I'll bring her here." Tan Debao said in a low voice.

"Well, I will trouble you, fourth. I will chop firewood in the morning, and when I come back in the afternoon, I will figure out how to build our house." Tan Dejin said.

He was very grateful to Tan Debao for his concern for Erxia.

But regarding the sale of river clams, it's not appropriate to tell Tan Debao now, and Qiduo also said it, planning to tell him in two days.

"Sure, then I'll come back earlier in the afternoon, and we'll be together then." Tan Debao nodded.

The two brothers said a few more words, and then went to work separately.

Tan Dejin took his daughters to Jigong Mountain, where he still cut firewood, while Qiduo and the three sisters went to dig bamboo shoots.

This is Erxia's first time digging bamboo shoots, and also the first time she has seen what a bamboo shoot looks like.

Qiduo taught her how to dig.

Erxia watched attentively, followed closely to learn, and quickly dug out a bamboo shoot.

"Duo, is that so?" Erxia held up the chubby bamboo shoot in her hand, with a gentle smile on her lips.

Qiduo blinked her eyes, and said with some doubts, "Eldest sister, you...you dig very fast."

I used to see Erxia doing things slowly at home, like washing dishes, she would only finish one after others washed three.

But just now, her action of digging bamboo shoots was clean and fast, as if she had changed into a different person.

Erxia tilted her head slightly, smiled lightly and said, "You and Ju won't dislike me for not doing well."

Just a bit of a bitter smile.

Qiduo's eyebrows moved, and she suddenly understood something.

She asked, "Sister, do you mean that the reason why you do things slowly on weekdays is that you are worried about not doing well and being scolded by grandma?"

After a moment of hesitation, Erxia nodded, and responded in a low voice, "Well, only by doing it slowly can there be no mistakes."

From the time she could remember, everything she did was criticized by Mrs. Zhao.

Gradually, she began to be afraid and worried, and she was very cautious and cautious when doing everything, for fear that she would be beaten and scolded by Mrs. Zhao if she made a mistake.

Over time, she slowed down in doing things.

She was also worried that saying the wrong thing would annoy Zhao and the rest of the Tan family, so she considered every word carefully, which was why she spoke softly.

But now that the family is separated, what she does is for her own family, and has nothing to do with the Zhao family. Parents and younger sisters will not make things difficult for her, and those worries will naturally disappear.

And she wanted to do more things for the family and do her part, so her hands and feet naturally picked up.

Seeing Erxia nod her head, Qiduo has a sore nose, the eldest sister has really suffered a lot of grievances these years.

The eldest sister is so honest!

Qiduo took Erxia's hand and smiled, "Sister, you are right, from now on no one will deliberately make things difficult for you, you don't have to live in fear anymore."

"Well, I know." Erxia smiled softly.

The smile is pure and bright.

Liu Ju's eyes turned red and said, "Sister, you are so stupid and timid. I am afraid that grandma will be like this. Now that we are separated, no one dares to bully you anymore."

"Yeah." Er Xia shook the hands of her sisters with both hands, feeling warm in her heart.

Qiduo also laughed, besides being sad for Erxia, she was also a little happy, it turned out that she was not naturally slow-tempered, but was forced the day after tomorrow, so that in the future she would not have to worry about being rejected when she married.

What a happy event, that's great!

The three sisters started working happily, and they were busy all morning.

Now Qiduo is no longer worried that the bamboo shoots will go bad if they dig too many and cannot be sold. She is going to make some dried bamboo shoots, which can be eaten or sold in the future.

This time I went to town and brought Liuju with me.

However, Qiduo and Liuju both changed into men's clothes, because Qiduo was planning to go to the county this time.

Before the family split, they didn't dare to make too much noise about doing business, but now they can give it a go and want to establish a cooperative relationship with Chunfeng Deyi Building.

Compared with Yuekelai, the business of Chunfeng Deyi Building is better and the demand is greater.

When my uncle saw Qiduo in men's clothing, he was stunned for a while before he recognized it, surprised, "Miss Qi, why are you pretending to be a boy?"

"Uncle Nian, it's for convenience." Qi Duo smiled.

Uncle Nian nodded suddenly, "That's true, that's good, less unnecessary trouble."

Qiduo said yes with a smile, and brought down the clams, bamboo shoots and ferns that Yue Kelai needed, and weighed them. Uncle Nian didn't mention the snails, and she didn't say anything either.

When Tan Dejin drove the ox cart away from Yue Ke Lai, and Qi Duo said that he was going to Chunfeng Deyi Building, he reined in the reins.

"Duo, what are you going to do in Chunfeng Deyi Building?" he asked.

"Of course to sell bamboo shoots and bracken." Qiduo stretched out her slender little finger and pointed to the remaining hundred catties of bamboo shoots on the cart.

"Duo, don't go, then... the owner of Chunfeng Deyi Building is not kind, he cheated us when he bought bamboo shoots last time." Tan Dejin persuaded.

"Father, don't worry. I was not familiar with the market before, and it was my first time doing business. Now it's different. He's rascal, but we are even more treacherous than him. Father, let's go, it's time for dinner in the county. Xu Shaodong's house should be in the restaurant, so don't delay." Qi Duo said with a smile.

Tan Dejin still shook his head, "Duo, it's thanks to Brother Nan to do business with Yueke. Shopkeeper Han is so kind to us because of his face. That Mr. Xu is not easy to get along with at first glance. , you are young, how can you beat him.

Besides, our business with Yuekelai is doing very well right now, and the money we earn is enough for our family to live on, so don't think about anything else. "

The seven black eyes were full of doubts, and they tilted their heads and asked, "Father, why do I feel that you are very resistant to Chunfeng Deyi Building, could it be that the shopkeeper of Chunfeng Deyi Building has offended you?

　Sahua thanked Sister May and Auspicious Niu Niu for their support, and thanked Nuan Rong, Happy Doudoujun, Entangling III, Yoyoyang, Violet Mid-Autumn Festival, 13997154271 and Coye for their nine pink tickets.
