Pastoral Valley Fragrance

Chapter 50
After Yu'e came back that day and mentioned about Qiao'e's marriage, Mrs. Xu brought news over there that Mrs. Li He was going to find Qiao'e's husband's family.

Followed by a sigh, Xu said with some worry: "It's thanks to Qiao'e that she listened to mother's words like that last time. Otherwise, if she married early, life might get better. gone."

Mrs. Wang just came back at the end of last year and didn't know the truth. She only listened to Xu Qinshi's explanation. "Qiao'e mentioned a family at that time, it was the Zhao family in Shiwei Village next door to us. The young man is strong, and there is nothing to choose in his life. satisfy."

While listening, Mrs. Wang was a little worried for Qiao'e. Qiao'e was eighteen this year. She was considered an old girl in Zhuangzi. She stayed at home all day and did not go out. She embroidered flowers and did housework. Mrs. Li asked him to go over here to embroider and chat together. At least there was someone to talk to. If the embroidered things were sold, he could save some money for himself, but Mrs. Li He dared not come here because Mrs. It's inconvenient to go there if it gets stiff, but it's not unconnected. If Qiao'e wants any pattern or embroidery method, it's nothing more than Xu's bringing a word and acting as an intermediary to spread it here.Looking at Qiao'e's embroidery and appearance, Wang felt that it was real, "Qiao'e is a good person, why did she delay so much, it would have been better if she got married in the first place."

Xu Qinshi rolled his eyes and paused the sole of the shoe he was holding in his hand, "It's not my in-laws, and I don't know if it's because I hate my father's illness, or because I don't like the less generous bride price, anyway, it's over. "

When it comes to this matter, Mrs. Xu has a better say, "No, the tea ceremony was over at that time, and Granny Gu Yu did not know where to inquire about it, saying that Zhao Lang's father had tuberculosis. The plague will infect the people in my family, so it is not unreasonable to not let Qiao'e marry in the past, but it is just that Qiao'e is asked to tell Zhao Lang who came to salute, let the other party withdraw the marriage In this way, Qiao'e's reputation has been earned back, but there is no impenetrable wall in the world, and no one dares to come to the door once the news spreads. It was this time last year, and someone came to the door. I heard that the characters and appearances are all good , it’s just that she didn’t come to serve tea later, Grandma Gu Yu asked at this time regardless of her old face, and was told that your daughter was made of gold and silver. The daughter-in-law has ruined her name again, so she came back and scolded her for three days. Hey..."

Gu Yu has been shaking Xia Zhi by the side, listening to these words, thinking that this Li He is really a powerful person, afraid that Zhao Lang will also get tuberculosis, if it is not good to marry in the past, just say that he just divorced the marriage, originally He is already pitiful enough, but if he asks for his resignation, and he undertook the tea ceremony, and let him suffer the crime of notoriety, this behavior is really not kind, but it is not kind enough, she is fine, delay It's my aunt's wedding.

Gu Yu still has a good impression of this aunt. She doesn't talk much on weekdays and has a soft temper. That is to say, her temper is too soft and she doesn't have the slightest idea. She can do whatever Li He asks her to do. Otherwise, if she insisted on It won't be so uncomfortable to marry or not to talk about it. When Gu Yu and the others first lived in this yard, the little aunt secretly slipped a small purse to Gu Yu behind Li He's back. There were dozens of coins in it. , although the money is not much, it can be regarded as a gift in the snow, and besides Qiao'e's dozens of money, I don't know how many things I have to embroider to save it.Gu Yu always remembered the purse embroidered with willow leaves, and thought of how sad it must have been for Qiao'e to stay in the room when Li He came back and scolded the person who rejected the marriage.

"Grandma, then tell my aunt a kiss. My aunt is very nice." Gu Yu raised her face and looked at Xu Qinshi with a smile.

Xu Qinshi sighed, "This Qiao'e is a good person, how could I not know, I suffered from the cold face of the whole family back then, Yu'e was not married at that time, and a girl's family spoke sharp-tongued words Stabbing, just like her mother, only Qiao'e should have done so, otherwise I would not even be able to shame my daughter-in-law."

Talking about the punishment she suffered at the beginning, Xu Qinshi was very aggrieved, "At that time, my brother and I hadn't gone to the town to open a restaurant, and we just started a small business and were short of money. Grandma Gu Yu's hands were tightly grasped. If you want, you won’t let go of a penny..."

Xu's heart was also very sad when she heard this, her eyes were a little red, and there were tears in her eyes.

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit dull, Gu Yu put her head on Xu's belly, touched it with her little hand, "Brother Xiaohan, come out quickly, your mother will not be bullied by then, and if anyone bullies your mother, you must not be polite! "If the first two sentences are imitating the tone of a child, the last sentence is really from Gu Yu's heart.

Xu Qinshi was amused, and pulled Gu Yu over, "You little man, why didn't you come back at that time, if you were here, your second aunt would have shed so many tears." After speaking, he turned to look at Xu Shi: "Why, even the name Are you all up?"

Mrs. Xu was smiling with tears in her eyes. Hearing Xu Qinshi's question, she also looked at a loss, "I haven't heard of it."

Gu Yu patted his chest, "What's the matter, I started it, Xiaohan Xiaohan, the cold will come! When the time comes, I will be called Xiaohan. I discussed it with my second uncle."

This remark made everyone in the room laugh, and Xu Qinshi teased Gu Yu again, "No matter how nice I say it is, it's not as nice as our name Gu Yu. Your family has called all these solar terms. Helping you at home."

Gu Yu laughed loudly, and said with some pride: "There is no way, my brother was born late, and his good name was called, so I can only settle for the next best thing. If I say, Xiaohan and Dahan are good, when my aunt gives birth to my brother My sister is called Xiaoxue, which is not bad."

Gu Yu looked serious, as if Xu's childbirth was all in her plans, and couldn't help but make people laugh again. Xu Qinshi wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes with the back of his hand, and clasped his hands together. He patted Gu Yu on the back.

As soon as I finished laughing, I heard that the courtyard over there was arguing for some reason. Li He's hoarse voice was a little hysterical, and Xu was about to get up, "I'll go over and have a look."

Xu Qinshi held her back, "What are you going to do now? This body is heavy, and I can't help you much. What if you get angry with a few words or get pushed twice for no reason, what's the matter? Give me Stay in peace."

Gu Yu also nodded with lingering fear, "That's right, that's how my mother gave birth to my younger brother."

After thinking about it, Xu sat down, but felt a little uneasy.

Mrs. Chen ran over in a hurry, "Second sister-in-law and third sister-in-law, I heard that someone from Shiwei village is looking for someone to propose marriage again, and my mother is arguing with someone over there. I can't persuade you, so hurry over there." Just have a look."

Xu Qinshi stopped her, "Your second sister-in-law is too weak to be angry with others. Your third sister-in-law wants to see the summer solstice. I'll just go. I won't say good things, so why bother?" Thinking that when he was about to leave the yard, he realized that he was still holding Gu Yu by the hand and asked Gu Yu to go back, but Gu Yu refused to leave, so Xu Qinshi just let it go, "It's over, Gu Yu, don't interfere with the adults' affairs, when the time comes You go and see your little aunt, this girl really has a hard life, and your grandma's temper like burning the house all day long is really embarrassing for her."

There were only two women in the yard, and for some unknown reason, Li He drove them out, pointing at a woman who was about 40 years old and scolding: "Oh, you are a sinner, you really are a sinner, you are really shameless, go out well!" Talking nonsense about ruining my family's reputation and making Qiao'e unable to leave the house, it's possible that this person is dead and must marry into your family!"

In this way, the woman is Zhao Lang's mother, and he is naturally unconvinced, "It's not that you are thinking of giving us a tea ceremony again, forcing us to call off the marriage."

Xu Qinshi was familiar with the woman in the village next door, so she went over and said, "Old sister-in-law, please speak up if you have something to say, so you don't need to get angry." Then he turned to Li Heshi and said, "Everyone here is a guest, don't think for yourself. Think about my daughter, why is she so fiery."

Seeing someone trying to persuade them to fight at both ends, Gu Yu took the opportunity to enter Qiao'e's room, seeing her weeping while clutching something in her hand, she had to go over and say a few words.

Qiao'e hugged Gu Yu in her arms, gently rubbing the things in her hand with her fingers, "I don't know how he is?"

In this way, Gu Yu saw clearly the thing that looked like a stone, and added such a sentence, thinking that the little aunt was still thinking about that person, and said: "Auntie, why don't you go out and tell grandma to come down?" .”

Qiao'e shook her head while weeping, "This idea was decided by mother, so I have to listen to mother, let alone what's the matter if I go out."

Gu Yu sighed a little, "Auntie, you have to make up your own mind, if you make up your mind, grandma can't help it, anyway, I'll let you live the life."

Qiao'e touched Gu Yu's head, "You're still young, you don't understand." After she finished speaking, she didn't know what triggered something in her heart, so she started crying again, "Why do you all talk about ideas? Back then he also said that I wanted to I have an idea, I really hate myself, why do I have an idea, why if I am a person, even if I am a pig or a cow, or the tree at the door, or else it will become this stone, no one will ask me for an idea If the wind blows, the wind blows, if the rain rains, the rainforest can live a good life."

Gu Yu has only heard about Li's mother and weak children, but now seeing Qiao'e's limp and indecisive temperament, she thinks that Li He's ideas were taken by Li He in the past. How could the little aunt be so clueless, just seeing Qiao'e crying there, her heart softened again, she said a few words, and Qiao'e stabilized.

Gu Yu went out to see how the situation was going, but only saw the back of the woman leaving angrily, and Li He was still in the yard feeling strange: "The daughter I raised by myself is no one else's turn to worry about!"

With one sentence, Xu Qin was so angry that he pulled Gu Yu away.

Li He's shouted triumphantly from behind, "I'll find a husband's house for my daughter!"
