Chapter 6

The mother and daughter's breakfast is a simple bowl of bran porridge, and the side dish is only a small bowl of dried radish. Seeing this, Xia Ying has no appetite at all.Just to maintain the basic functioning of her body, she gritted her teeth and downed the bowl of porridge, then picked up Xiao Qi in the cradle.

Xiao Qi is almost two years old, but this child is thin and small, not much older than the sister Fu of the Gu family.Xia Ying looked at this thin younger sister, her heart was filled with distress.

Even when Xiao Qi was in her arms, she could still look a little like a child.

She is now curled up in Xia Ying's arms, pulling her sleeves with her small hands. "Sister, I'm hungry."

"Sister knows, am I going to serve you wheat bran porridge?" Xia Ying coaxed in a low voice, and she carried Xiao Qi into the kitchen.

But she didn't go to the stove, but quietly took out a small bowl from the cupboard, which contained a bowl of clear green vegetable porridge.

This is what she secretly scooped up half a bowl of food for Xia Fugui and his son just now and hid it.

After leaving it for so long, the vegetable porridge is no longer hot, so Xia Ying scooped it up and fed it to Xiao Qi.

Where has Xiao Qi eaten such delicious porridge?As soon as she took a bite, she quickly took a spoon and licked it into her mouth.

After a while, she ate up a bowl of vegetable porridge.

This was not enough, she held the bowl again, and licked off the juice from the bottom of the bowl, and the bowl that landed in her hand looked as if it had just been washed, it was very clean!

"Sister, the porridge is delicious, I want to eat it again in the future!" Holding an empty bowl, he was stingy and looked at her with wide eyes expectantly.

Xia Ying's heart was completely soft.

She quickly touched the soft hair on the top of the little girl's head. "Don't worry, when my sister gets rich in the future, I will take you to eat all the delicious food in the world! This porridge can't be compared with those things!"

"Vegetable porridge? Have you given vegetable porridge to this little girl?"

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Wu's loud voice at the door.

Xiao Qi was so frightened that she jumped into Xia Ying's arms, and Xia Ying shook her head quickly. "Mom, you heard me wrong! Didn't dad and elder brother finish eating all the vegetables and porridge? What I fed Xiaoqi was wheat bran porridge!"

"I believe you are the one to blame!" Mrs. Wu strode over, she picked up the empty bowl on the stove and smelled it, and then went into the cupboard to smell it a few times, and then her face became dark. .

As soon as she grabbed the tongs in front of the stove, she hit Xia Ying and the sisters. "I'll beat you two shameless bastards to death! How dare you eat rice porridge even if you're out of money? You spit it out for me!"

As early as when her tongs hit her, Xia Ying had already rushed out with Xiao Qi in her arms.

However, Mrs. Wu still refused to let her go, and chased him out holding the poker, cursing and swearing non-stop.

Xia Ying ran out of the kitchen, and she went straight to the gate.She knew very well in her heart: if they stayed at home, Xia Fugui and his son would soon join the battle, forming a three-strike battle of mixed men and women, and she and Xiao Qi were no match at all!Right now, the only option is to run out and cause commotion for the villagers to come out to watch. Although they will definitely not be able to escape a beating in the end, at least the villagers persuade them that Xia Fugui and the others can beat them less.

So, without hesitation, she got out of the door of Xia's house and went straight outside.

However, what she didn't expect was that just as she stepped out of the gate with Xiao Qi in her arms, she bumped into a hard object.

"Ouch!"

Xia Ying screamed in pain, and staggered a few times, almost falling down.

Fortunately, at this moment, a powerful arm suddenly wrapped around her waist and pulled her upwards, and she barely managed to stand on her feet.

The moment she stood firm, Xia Ying quickly lowered her head to look at Xiao Qi in her arms. "How are you, Xiao Qi? Are you all right?"

Xiao Qi shook her head, her wide-open eyes were full of horror.

"Sister, they're out!"

Thin fingers pointed to the door, and sure enough, Wu Shi, Xia Fugui and his son had already rushed out.

However, after they rushed out, they didn't make trouble, but immediately put away the ferocity on their faces and replaced them with flattering ones.

"Ah, sister-in-law Chen, why are you here? And Mr. Gu, you didn't ask anyone to come over to say hello in advance. Our family just finished breakfast!"

When guests come to the door, their first reaction is to not give others breakfast?Three black lines fell from Xia Ying's forehead.

But... Huh?Surnamed Gu?Gu Tuo?
Responding suddenly, Xia Ying quickly raised her head, only to realize that the person who supported her waist to help her stand just now was not Gu Tuo?

Although this man was the same as the last time she saw him, he still had a straight face, and he didn't look like he was close to him.But anyway, his face also shocked her cheap parents, which is a good thing for her!
At least this beating can be avoided, and Xiao Qi's bowl of vegetable porridge can be safely eaten in his stomach!
And the smiling matchmaker Chen beside him...

Her eyes lit up immediately! "Are you here to propose marriage? Are you ready for the 15 taels of dowry silver?"

This woman is really...

Whenever he feels a little pity for her, what she does can successfully dispel any tenderness in him.

Gu Tuo's eyes turned cold, and he let go of his hand.

Only then did Xia Ying belatedly realize that the man's arms were still around her waist!

Matchmaker Chen covered her mouth and laughed. "Sister Ying, why don't you know how to be shy? Even if we are here to propose a marriage, you shouldn't just ask the question outside! This shouldn't be something you, a girl, should ask!"

Hearing this, Chen Fugui's family of three were shocked.

Chen Dazhuang was extremely excited. "Really? Are you really going to spend 15 taels of silver to marry my sister?"

With a cold face, Gu Tuo took out a blue cloth handkerchief from his pocket.Opening the veil, there are two ingots of white flowers, one large and one small, impressively inside.

"This is 15 taels of silver. I will marry your daughter!"

Matchmaker Chen also said with a smile: "Brother Tuo has something in mind! After he came over to see Sister Ying yesterday, he was interested. No, he came to my house early this morning and asked me to be a matchmaker. Say hello! And he took the initiative to add three taels to the dowry money, a total of 15 taels of silver! Oh, I have been a matchmaker in the village for so many years, and I have never seen a girl who got married with so much dowry, you Sister Jiaying is the first one! What does this mean? It means that Brother Tuo really likes her! Sister Ying will be blessed for the rest of her life if she marries him!"

Gu Tuo interrupted in a deep voice when she heard her talking more and more out of tune. "I add these three taels of silver on a conditional basis. After your daughter marries me, she must abide by all the conditions I put forward at the beginning. I have to add one more thing, you should not go to my house unless it is a holiday. Find her. If she marries me, she will be a member of the Gu family, and she is not allowed to take care of the affairs of the Xia family!"
