Chapter 19 Smart

  The movie ended, and the group left with still not enough to say.

  On the way, let’s talk about the content of the movie first. As they talked, Dong Lamei led Li Qiao to the front, intentionally or unintentionally asking Li Qiao how much money the family had at the end of the year.

  Qin Jin thought about something bad.

  A fool must know everything. Dong Lamei seemed to be a sensible person, but in fact she was secretly in the dark, knowing that he was unwilling to marry Li Qiao, and forcefully demanded that he give him a one-in-a-million dowry, which means one hundred and one, and nothing less would be acceptable.

   It caused him to borrow money everywhere.

  The old woman took the money, and the outsiders asked, and belittled Li Qiao again. If Li Qiao's reputation is ruined, it will be good if someone marries him.

  When others heard about her, they all thought she was a nice person, and rushed to have a blind date with Li Jinhua.

  If it weren't for Li Qiao's face, the story of Li Jinhua touching him would have spread throughout the commune, at least, and she probably wouldn't be able to get married in this lifetime.

But Li Qiao's answer was beyond his expectation: "I don't know the account that grandma settled. I heard from the villagers that the wedding cost a lot, and I owe a lot of debts outside. I used the money to pay off the account. Ah Jin hired me Did you keep the bride price? This is the money that our young couple lives on, and you have to give it back to us." In fact, it should be put in her box on the day of the wedding and let her take it back to her husband's house.

   But she rummaged through the box, except for a few cheap sheets and two quilts.

   Nothing.

   After the sound fell, Dong Lamei was stunned, and stammered for a long time: "The betrothal gift. Isn't the betrothal gift for me and your father? You didn't bring back the betrothal gift from your eldest sister and second sister."

  Li Qiao made sense when she thought about it. Although Dong Lamei was a stepmother, she raised the original owner and provided for her to study. They didn't have a pension, and they lacked the guarantee of a steady flow of water. They really needed money.

  She let out an oh.

  Li Qiao didn't pursue it, Dong Lamei regained her confidence, and mentioned how many gifts her daughter gave during the New Year.

   Li Qiao feels uncomfortable, what do you mean? Dislike her for giving too few gifts?

  At that time, Qin Jin was out, and the team was idle, earning less than 20 centimeters a week.

  Grandma’s meat and eggs are very extravagant considering the conditions of the family, and she thinks that she has done all the etiquette. She couldn't help but said, "Then why don't you marry me to their man?"

  Dong Lamei: "."

  Qin Jin is angry and funny, and he dislikes him for being poor. When he becomes rich, he throws money at her face every day, and it will definitely make her dizzy.

   "Third sister, third brother-in-law is still here." Li Jinhua reminded in a low voice.

  Li Qiao looked back, Qin Jin was chatting and laughing with his cronies, who were far away, how could he care about her? She winked at him, but said: "I can't hear you." Otherwise, with his temper, he would have jumped up and cursed people.

  …

   Go to the three-way intersection.

  Qin Jin's friends invited him to drink, and Li Qiao quietly told him that it was too cold to sleep alone and needed him.

  Qin Jin immediately refused to drink.

  He has to cover his daughter-in-law's bed, freeze her, and he has to treat her, which is worrying and costly.

   After saying goodbye to Dong Lamei and the others, Li Qiao went home side by side with Qin Jin.

   There was no one around, so she took the initiative to hold his hand again. He shook off: "Didn't you think I was poor just now?"

  Li Qiao: "." Did he listen with his ears up? She reached out her hand again cheekily: "It's just a joke, don't be angry."

  Young Aojiao turned his face away, but he didn't withdraw his hand.

  Li Qiao's eyes flashed with pride, and he took two steps closer to him. Just about to speak, Qin Jin covered her mouth and pointed to the front left.

  Li Qiao saw a person motionless being dragged along the ground by another person holding the creaking nest with both hands from behind, just like a murder case on TV.

  Qin Jin pulled her to squat down, using the weeds on the side of the road to block her figure: "I'll go and see if she's a murderer."

  Li Qiao didn't allow it: "It's too dangerous. What if the other party has a knife? Besides, you will leave footprints in the past. If you really kill people and sell goods, you may be listed as a suspect if you don't catch the murderer."

  Although there is her as a witness.

   But relatives cannot participate in the testimony, right?

  Even if his innocence is finally proven, he will have to squat.

  She said: "Let's go back to the village and call someone."

  Qin Jin's eyes showed approval: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart." But sometimes you are very stupid.

  Li Qiao pursed his lips and smiled, and when the two of them agreed on a countermeasure, there was no one in front of them.

  After her suggestion, Qin Jin didn't plan to go over to check. When he got home, the neighbors were all asleep, so he didn't tell anyone.

  Li Qiao thought about calling the police, but there is no telephone in the whole village.

  Unless you go to the police station in person, you will easily fall off your bicycle if you are blind, and the walking distance is too far.

  And if it is not a murder case, it is suspected of reporting a false case.

   Gotta be punished?

  Li Qiao went to bed with a lot of worries, and overslept the next day, and when he woke up, it was already daylight. She was alone in the room, she packed up and got up to wash up, but Qin Jin was not in the yard, so she asked the old lady.

   "What does he do? He will come back naturally when he is hungry."

  Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrives.

  Qin Jin put his hands in his trouser pockets, casually entered the yard, gossiping. "Have you heard? Master Feng beat his little wife, her nose was bruised and her face was swollen. It is said that her wife is not a big girl."

   Li Qiao declined to comment.

  In short, if he is violent, she promises to run so far that he can't find her even if he leads the dog.

  The old lady Qin sympathized: "If you don't want it, it will be terrible to send it back to someone. Why do you beat someone?"

  Qin Jin: "Which man is willing to pick up other people's leftovers?" He is the only one. When the little daughter-in-law cries, he feels distressed and uncomfortable.

  The little hand took the initiative to hold him, and he was so happy that he couldn't even fall asleep.

  Hey, good for nothing!

  Old Mrs. Qin: "I didn't force him to pick it up. The old bachelor has a daughter-in-law for fun. Why pick and choose?"

  Li Qiao laughed, she really doubted that the old lady graduated from a female boxing class.

  After dinner, Li Qiao quietly discussed with Qin Jin about calling the police.

   "Still thinking about it?" Qin Jin told her that he climbed to the top of the tree early in the morning to borrow a telescope, but he didn't see a ghost at the location last night. Maybe it was too dark, and the villagers were joking around, and they didn't see the misunderstanding.

  Li Qiao's heart is still fuzzy, who would drag people away just for fun?

  Tomorrow is New Year's Eve.

  The old lady took out a pen, ink and red paper and asked Li Qiao to write a few couplets. "I used to write, but my eyes have become more and more unclear in the past two years. I am old."

  Li Qiao silently decided to go to the city to buy a pair of reading glasses for the old lady with the red envelopes received after the Chinese New Year.

  She unfolded the red paper and cut it out, dipped a pen in ink and wrote three pictures.

   wrote a few more blessing characters.

  Old lady Qin watched from the sidelines, praising her beautiful handwriting. "The word Qiao Qiao has to be practiced for many years, right? He is handsome and talented, so cheap for my brat."

  Qin Jin was not convinced: "Grandma, you can boast as much as you like. Why do you belittle me every time? It makes me lose all confidence."

  The old lady Qin said happily: "It's so boring to boast, you have to let others boast."

  Qin Jin: "."

   Li Qiao laughed out loud, he wants a good reputation, unless he changes places.

  Li Qiao hung up the couplets, and Peng Chunhua came to the door with a straight back.

  The old lady Qin joked: "I'm pregnant, and I will have a pregnant appearance all at once."

  Peng Chunhua smiled and said: "No, since the doctor confirmed that I have it, I feel my belly is heavy. This morning, my mother found a fortune teller to tell me that it is a boy. When will Qiao Qiao give birth?"

   "Wait until the family conditions are good."

   "What kind of conditions do you want to have with only three people? Only by having a few more children can we create good conditions." Peng Chunhua said.

  Li Qiao felt unable to communicate with Peng Chunhua, smiled politely, and cleaned up the pen, ink and paper on the table.
