Ma Erniang's Splendid Pastoral

Chapter 29 Embarrassment
Ma Qifeng took it and looked at it, "It's Daping's name."

At this time, the woman is not qualified to be the head of the household, but can only be the husband or the eldest son, and only under special circumstances can a female household be established.

"Thanks to you, we actually ended up in Yunshui." Guo Lishi's tears flowed down, but they were tears of joy, "Big brother, Mr. Xu said that although the house is broken, there are five small people on the foundation. Room, two rooms for me, three rooms for you, so we can all settle down."

"Guo's sister-in-law can't do it." Ma Qifeng immediately refused.

"Why not, although the head of the household is Daping, but this house..."

"Hush..." Ma Min'er quickly interrupted Guo Lishi's words, and looked around the well platform. The Ma family must not let this matter know, or something will happen again.

"Oh..." Mrs. Guo knew what they were worried about, and quickly closed her mouth.

Looking at the side of the well, it seemed that it was not his turn. Ma Min'er glanced at his father, she wanted to see the house that Aunt Guo bought, after all, she was considering whether she could get rich.

Ma Dalang said, "Dad, look at it like this, it won't be our turn until tomorrow."

Mrs. Guo Li said in a low voice: "Two coppers for a ladle of water, or..."

It's broad daylight now, Ma's family dare not take out any money, as long as they show their heads, they might not belong to them, Ma Min'er shook her head.

Seeing that she didn't buy food and water, Mrs. Guo Li didn't insist. After all, after buying a house, she only had a few coppers left on her body, so she wished to break some of them for use.

It seems that there is no water to wait for, Ma Qifeng took the children out of Jingtai Alley, and said as he walked, "Sister-in-law of the Guo family, why don't we go to see your house first and see if we can clean it up for you?" a bit."

Ma Qifeng didn't know what his daughter was thinking until now, so he thought she was enthusiastic and helped Guo Lishi, and repaid her kindness for helping him hold Yueer and divide the grassroots.

Cleaning up the house is of course good, Mrs. Guo Li smiled softly: "Brother is from the city, will you clean up this house?"

"..." The weak Ma Qifeng froze for a moment, and replied honestly: "I... I don't know how to do it, but... I can learn from you."

It turns out that the people in Beijing really don't know how to work, but his attitude made Guo Li feel good, "Brother, then I won't be polite to you, some jobs really need men to do."

"Aunt Guo's family is too polite, just say something if you have anything to say!"

"Okay!" Guo Li happily led the way.

When there was no one around, Mrs. Guo Li couldn't help but said again: "Brother, you have a lot of people, so you live in three rooms. My family is small, so you live in two rooms..."

"Sister-in-law of the Guo family can't do it!" Ma Qifeng refused again.

Seeing that her father refused, Ma Min'er had no choice but to speak, "Aunt Guo—"

"Second mother, tell me, are you listening?"

"Aunt Guo, you've seen our situation in Ma's house all the way here. Right now, Ma's house is still crowded in the backyard of the yamen. If we live in three rooms, we won't be able to survive this day..."

Is this a matter of living in three or two rooms?When Ma Qifeng heard what his daughter said, why did he think it was unethical for the child to help the Guo family buy a house?

"Then... what should I do?"

"Aunt Guo, let's live in two rooms."

Ma Qifeng was walking by the side of the alley, frowning unknowingly, this child is really not authentic.

"But...but in the final analysis, you earned all these coins, and this house belongs to you. It's not an exaggeration." Mrs. Guo Li made it very clear and said it very truthfully.

Ma Min'er shook her head: "Aunt Guo, from now on, you must never say that the money for this house is mine. Now that we live in two rooms, tell the outside world that you rented it to us."

"what……"

"Aunt Guo, otherwise we wouldn't be able to live in your house."

Mrs. Guo Lishi seemed to understand something, and nodded, "Well...that's fine, it's like this on the surface, but it's fine if you know it in your heart."

"Thank you, Aunt Guo!" Oh my God, finally there is a place to live, Ma Min'er breathed a sigh of relief as if she had solved a major event in her life, and turned her head to look at her father with a smile.

Why is Dad frowning so tightly?Are you unhappy about having a house to live in?Moreover, he used such a circuitous method, it would not be so easy for the Ma family to find fault.

Ma Qifeng secretly glared at his daughter.

Uh...something flashed in Ma Min'er's mind: "The two families live together as if..."

Guo Lishi followed Ma Miner's eyes to look at the big brother, and suddenly realized what Erniang wanted to say, blinked, this...

One problem was solved, another problem arose, these two families, one without a hostess, the other without a host, living together, and... really not suitable, looked at Ma Qifeng with a guilty conscience.

Ma Qifeng didn't even think about it, this child...couldn't bear to blame, he raised his eyes to look in the direction of the yamen, Li Tingzhang didn't know when he would be able to divide the house and land, before he was on the road, he was not allowed to sleep in the open, now he has arrived at the destination Now, can the kids live without it?

Seeing Ma Qifeng's silence, Guo Li was a little embarrassed and anxious, but didn't know what to say.

Ma Yueer blinked and came close to her father, with her little head leaning against her father's leg, obedient and clever.

Ma Dalang and Ma Sanlang lowered their heads slightly, they were still young, waiting for adults to decide.

God, how could it be like this, if you don’t have a house, you want a house, and if you have a house, and in this situation, Ma Miner wants to pat her head, just thinking about getting close to Aunt Guo, forgetting the difference between men and women, mother... Oh my god, even in the modern age, the situation of the Ma and Guo families seems inappropriate to live together. It's really... so sad.

Feeling very depressed for a while, Mrs. Guo and Li spoke up, thinking brokenly: "Er Niang, or this house will belong to your family...we will look for it again..."

"Aunt Guo, don't, since you left Anxing City, you secretly bought food and water along the way. My father has long felt sorry for it. What is this money!"

"Look at what you said, if it weren't for your ability, my mother and I would have sold themselves as slaves with the money I brought to buy cooking cakes." Mrs. Guo Li was filled with emotions, and they had spent a while.

"This is also our fate!" Ma Min'er didn't know what to say.

Suddenly, Mrs. Guo Li seemed to have thought of something, patted his legs and said, "Brother, if we don't need a high wall to separate our two families, it will be fine."

"You mean to separate it with a wall?"

"That's right, separated by hemp poles, there are two families, so that no one will complain."

"Father—" The children looked at their father expectantly.

This is also the best way out of nothing, Ma Qifeng let go, "Let's take a look at the house, if it's big enough, the Guo family's sister-in-law's proposal is worth it."

Seeing that her father had finally let go, Ma Min'er secretly patted her heart, "Mother, it's worth my trouble.

"Okay, okay, let's do this." Guo Lishi said happily.

As if a major matter had been resolved, everyone secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Ma Qiguang walked over with a bucket in his hand, glanced at Ma Qifeng, then at the big-boned but skinny Guo Lishi, and sneered: "Ma Lao Liu, what kind of vision do you have? Yanshou, looking for such an old woman, is she so hungry that she can't choose to eat?"
