Rebirth of a farmer's daughter

Chapter 50
"What? Borrow?" When Wang heard this, she immediately raised her voice, hiding a deep anger inside, and just when she was about to yell, she heard Qianjin ask leisurely: "Don't you want to, sister-in-law?"

"Qianjin, I'm your elder brother. We are all one family. How can we talk about each other in this family?" Zhou Hong hurriedly pulled Wang Shi who was about to go mad, and said with a smile.

"Brother, I know that we are a family, but we are separated now, and we have our own lives. It's better to settle the accounts clearly!" Seeing Zhou Hong's smile gradually restrained after listening to his words, there was also a smile in his black eyes. Covered with anger, he reminded lightly: "I only have six taels of silver in my hand, which is four taels short of ten taels!"

"Hurry up, don't whine, take out the silver!" Hearing the crying and making noise, the mood of several people rushing early in the morning became even more irritable.

"Mother..." Zhou Hong also panicked when he heard the threat from others, and he didn't dare to compete with Qianjin, so he turned his head and begged Yu Shi.

"I really can't afford it. You can ask your wife how much you have at home. If it's not enough, borrow some from your brother. At least you can get together ten taels of silver." Looking at Zhou Hong's distressed look, Mrs. Yu said, It hurts in my heart, but they should know better than themselves how much money she has in her hand.

In the end, Wang took out two taels from the house, and borrowed two taels from Zhou Quan.When Zhou Hong was writing the IOU, Mrs. Liu, who had never left the house, came out of the house and said that her family lived on the two taels of silver. The date of repayment of silver...

Wang Shi was gnashing her teeth angrily, but now she bowed her head, and had no choice but to nod her head in agreement.

After giving the money and taking back the IOU that Zhou Hong had stamped with his hand, the matter was considered to be over.However, after this incident, Zhou Hong and Wang hated Mrs. Yu even more, feeling that Mrs. Yu didn't even care about his son's life and death, and hated Qianjin even more than a few taels of silver, and asked them to write IOUs.

In short, the Zhou family has already been torn apart, but they just don't see each other when they look up, and their lives are superficial.

Time flies, in the blink of an eye, three years have passed. The 12-year-old Qianjin has grown a lot taller, almost catching up with Juaner.For the past three years, Qianjin dared not make big moves, fearing that she would cause trouble if she earned money, so her life was still very poor, and she could barely make ends meet.

From Zhou Hong's mouth, she found out that the person who told him that he had made money was Liang Nanny, and she was the one who lured Zhou Hong to gamble.However, even if there is evidence, Qianjin has nothing to do with Liang Nanny. Who said that she has no money and no power now?
Fortunately, life without money is relatively peaceful.It has been three years since Zhou Hong borrowed the six taels of silver, and they haven't returned it, and the daughters are not chasing after him. At least they have returned Zhou Quan's silver, so that everyone's life will not be so noisy.

"Sister-in-law." Qianjin came back from outside with a basket in her hand, humming a little tune in a very happy mood, feeling at ease.After hearing Juan'er calling her, she looked up and saw the thin Juan'er twisting the corner of her clothes, calling out to herself with an aggrieved face, and hurriedly asked: "What's wrong?"

"My mother... wants to marry me." Juan'er complained in a low voice with red eyes.

"Eh!" Qianjin heard it, and the black line fell straight down, but she also knew about this matter, and she didn't care about it, and she couldn't.Juan'er is now 14 years old, it's time to get engaged.When she is an adult, it is time to get married.

"My mother appointed me the Huang's family in the next village. I have heard secret discussions from the village aunts, saying that the man does nothing but hangs around the town all day long, eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. With some money, there will be lawlessness... My mother is interested in the five taels of betrothal gift from others, and she wants to push me into the fire pit!" After finishing speaking, she burst into tears, "Woooo...".

"Oh, don't cry, your mother saw it and thought I was wrong." Seeing her crying with her mouth covered in pain, Qianjin quickly put down the basket, took the silk and entered the room.

Although she still lives in the same room with old man Yu Shi, under her strong request, the nine-year-old side has her own small bed. Although it is not big, it is better than three people sharing a bed.This small bed was made by old man Zhou himself, which made Qianjin laugh happily for several days.

"Sister-in-law, what do you think I should do?" Juan'er was dragged into the room by Qianjin, sat on the head of the bed, and asked blankly.

"Has the date been fixed?" Qianjin already knew in her heart that in Wang's eyes, Juan'er and Min'er were her cash cows, and whoever paid the higher dowry could marry them.As for character, whether Juan'er will live well in the future is not in Wang's eyes at all.

What she wants is to leave the best for her son, and rely on him to provide for her in the future, so she doesn't care if Juan'er is doing well.

"My mother said that they came to make an appointment on the eighth day of February. They also took the cloth from others and said they would make new clothes for me." Juan'er murmured helplessly, her face full of fear: "Sister, what should I do? What should I do if it is true? I've decided, in this life, I'm done!" Married to a person who knows how to eat, drink, prostitute and gamble, what hope does she have?

Seeing Juan'er's distraught appearance, Qianjin had more heart than strength, so she could only comfort her with a voice: "Maybe the villagers are exaggerating, no matter how bad your mother is, she will not push you into the fire pit, tell me, right?" ?” That’s what she said, but inexplicably, Qianjin felt that her comfort could not even convince herself, so how could she convince Juan’er.

No one could stop Juan'er's marriage, and even Mrs. Yu wanted to say a few words, but Mrs. Wang rejected them.

In this way, Juan'er's marriage was settled.On the day the decision was made, people from the Huang family came, including Juan'er's future husband.Just by looking at it, Qianjin was worried about Juan'er's second half of her life.This man is two years older than Juan'er, he is sixteen now, and when Juan'er is sixteen, he will be just at the right age to get married.

The man was wearing a red robe, for today's happy day, it should have just been made, and it looks brand new and bright.Because Juan'er couldn't see guests, she stayed in the house all the time, and because Qianjin was an elder, she didn't have so many taboos. When she followed Mrs. Yu to greet guests, she found that Young Master Huang was staring at him with shameless eyes full of deep meaning. Looking at myself, I almost drool.

"Damn it!" Qianjin was still calm when encountering such a thing, and just when she was about to explain it clearly to her sister-in-law, she saw Mrs. Yu looking at her, pursing her lips and shaking her head silently, her eyes full of helplessness.

The anger that surged into Qianjin's heart disappeared instantly, and for the first time, she felt a deep sense of helplessness.That's right, if she rushed in and ruined Juan'er's engagement, what would others say about her?Furthermore, if Juan'er's marriage is ruined, what is the future for Juan'er in this life?Anyway, Juan'er's future has been ruined by her mother.

Mother understands the truth, but she can't control it, and she can't control it.Wang only wanted those betrothal gifts, and totally ignored Juan'er's future, no matter who persuaded her, she would not listen.

After thinking about this, Qianjin's heart fell to the bottom in an instant. Seeing the joy on everyone's faces, she suddenly felt very flustered. She didn't want to stay here for a moment, so she turned around and walked out.

People in the village either went out to work or gathered at Zhou's house, so they didn't meet anyone along the way.

"What's the matter?" Sitting on the rock on the top of the mountain with her calves in her arms, Qianjin looked at the rough sea with blank eyes, her thoughts turned around, and she kept thinking about Juan'er... This is the first time I went out after I came here At that time, the place where Juan'er brought herself.While she was staring into the distance dumbly, a cold voice sounded in Qianjin's ear, which brought her back to her senses and raised her head to look at the visitor in a daze.
