Chapter 599 An Illegitimate Daughter?
With a white lotus by your side, it is a terrible thing to regard the words of your sweetheart as the golden law.
Liu Yusheng and Shi Xianrou raised their hands in surrender, "Come on, let's accompany you up the mountain, okay?"
Satisfied, Liu Muqiu lowered his head and smiled shyly.
Liu Yusheng and Shi Xianrou, "..."
Shi Xianrou rubbed her hair into a bird's nest, and walked out weakly, "I'm going to catch my breath."
Before reaching the gate of the courtyard, a burst of harsh laughter could be heard from the outer courtyard.
It's not the Liu family, there are not too few people here.
"Funannan, Mu Qiu, there are people outside, why don't you go watch the fun?"
"Come here? Someday there will be no guests at home, grandma will greet you." Liu Yusheng was not interested.
"That person's name is Aunt Liu and sister-in-law, is she a relative of your family?"
Liu Yusheng frowned, calling her mother, little sister? Is it someone from grandma?
The three of them walked out immediately, and while walking, Liu Muqiu was still amazed, "Xianrou, can you hear people outside talking across the yard?"
"If I can't hear you from such a distance, all my kung fu will not be in vain? When you bridal chamber in the future, I don't need to go close, and I can hear the foot of the wall from a distance. Then you should speak louder."
Liu Muqiu blushed, stomped her feet, "Xianrou!"
"Hey! Little Bailian!"
"Pfft!"
The three laughed together again.
When I went to the outer courtyard, I happened to see my grandma taking people to the main room.
Liu Yusheng's guess was right, it was indeed from her grandmother's side, her uncle Wang's.
Along with Mrs. Wang came her aunt Chen Xiuying and two young girls.
Seeing Liu Yusheng, Mrs. Wang and Chen Xiuying greeted her with a smile, "Hey, niece, I haven't seen you for two or three years, the longer you grow, the more juicy you are."
"Auntie, auntie." Liu Yusheng smiled and nodded with them. As for the two girls they brought, she didn't know each other, so she just nodded.
The two girls stared at Liu Yusheng curiously from time to time.
"Naughty, come, let's sit together in the main room. In the past two years, your parents have gone back, and you haven't followed. If we meet outside, my aunt won't dare to recognize you. The girl has changed a lot." Wang walked over , wanting to hold Liu Yusheng's arm, suddenly put a pair of hands beside her, grabbing her first.
Chao Furen smiled timidly, Liu Muqiu clung to Liu Yusheng without moving his feet, separating the two of them.
His hands were empty, and Mrs. Wang was not embarrassed, as if he was at home, he kept greeting people into the room, and at the same time looked at the women posted on the left and right sides of Liu Yusheng, "These two are here to play with your daughter? Is it a girl friend?"
Before Liu Yusheng and Liu Muqiu could answer, the old lady Liu on the other end had already smiled and said, "The one in red is Shi Xianrou, the fiancée of the young owner of the wine shop, and the one in yellow is Liu Muqiu, the new daughter of our Liu family, her own child. In-laws, no need Greet them, they are in their own home, why do you use guests to greet them, come, come in and sit down."
"Ouch! A new girl?" Wang yelled in surprise, and the look she looked at Liu Muqiu suddenly changed, "This, is this the illegitimate daughter of Liu Da or Liu Er outside?..."
As soon as these words came out, the faces of all the Liu family members in the yard immediately sank.
Chen Xiuying was standing next to Chen Xiulan. Hearing this, she rushed forward to pull her away, and spat, "Sister-in-law, what nonsense are you talking about? Could my brother-in-law and the second elder brother of the Liu family be that kind of people?"
"Otherwise, why did you register a household suddenly?..." After the words came out hurriedly, Mrs. Wang realized that the Liu family's expression was not right, so she hurriedly stopped talking.
But he murmured in his heart, and when he walked in, he turned his head to look at Liu Muqiu, trying to see something on her face.
Liu Muqiu tightened his grip on Liu Yusheng's arm, forbearing the anger in his heart.
Even a country woman shouldn't be so outspoken, that kind of words are too insulting.
If it's passed on, she's fine, what will people think of Uncle Liu and Uncle Liu? And Aunt Liu and Aunt Liu must also bear gossip.
People outside don't care about the truth, they like to spread rumors the most.
Sensing her emotions, Liu Yusheng patted her hand, "Don't think too much, the people in our Xinghua Village are different from the outsiders, and if she talks about it in this yard, those words won't be passed on."
"Ninny, you don't like her?" Liu Muqiu probed.
Liu Yusheng looked at her, "Same as you."
The two looked at each other and smiled.
"Then can we go in or not? According to the temper of that person just now, I'm afraid there won't be any good words coming out." Shi Xianju said.
"We've all come out, so we have to go through the motions to save face, and my grandma will tell us to leave after sitting inside for a while."
Grandma won't let her listen to bad words there.
After entering the main room and sitting down, the elders of Liu's family chatted with Wang and Chen Xiuying.
The time when the two came here was just after noon, and the Liu family had just woken up from a nap. Except for Liu Zhiqiu who had gone up the mountain earlier, everyone else was there.
"These two are my husband's nieces. The older one is Yang Shuqing, and the younger one is Yang Shuyu. They are both 16 or 17 years old. The little girl's family loves to be lively. Knowing that we are here to visit relatives this time, she came out to have a look." After sitting down, Chen Xiuying introduced the two girls, then sighed, and talked about the flood some time ago.
"At that time, the house at home was washed away. Fortunately, it was close to the top of the mountain. Before the flood came, all the people in the village ran to the mountain. Otherwise, there would be no life."
"This year's orchard in our family, because of this flood, all of them were lost at once. We lost a lot of money. We could barely live by relying on the orchard, but now... oh!"
Wang Shi also sighed, and both of them began to complain about the current difficulties with Chen Xiuying.
The Liu family members nodded frequently and occasionally added a word.
"All the villages were hit by disasters, all the food was gone, the poorer families couldn't live on, and there were people who bought and sold their daughters. Some girls who couldn't stay at home married off one after another to give themselves a chance to survive. If When you meet a bad family, you have to accept your fate." At this point, the Wang family changed the subject, "Speaking of the in-laws, the second boy is not married yet, right? He is also twenty-three years old, so he is not young. Got a girl you like?"
Liu Yusheng looked at Liu Muqiu and Shi Xianrou, and a strange color flashed in his eyes.
Especially Liu Muqiu, his whole body was tense, and when he looked at the two girls again, his eyes had a dark thorn.
When the elders of Liu's family heard this question, they all paused, and the old lady waved to the three girls in the room, "Ninny, Mu Qiu, Xianrou, you go back to the backyard first."
This means not letting them listen.
Talking about the marriage between men and women, it is really inappropriate for an irrelevant older girl to stay here. The three of them stood up and walked out slowly.
It was only outside the house that the voice rang out again. It's a pity that Liu Yusheng and Liu Muqiu didn't have the skill of Shi Xianrou, so they couldn't listen to the sound from thousands of miles away.
Liu Yusheng rolled his eyes, and led the two of them to the back wall of the main room, squatting under the small window on the back wall, listening to the corner in broad daylight.
The voice came out from the window, a little erratic, but it could barely be heard clearly, Liu Muqiu almost pressed his whole body against the wall, pricking up his ears so as not to miss every word.
Those two girls, play Zhiqiu's idea!
Goblins, I'm going to stay up all night to catch up on the manuscript... Why did I say that the update will be on the 8th, why not the 18th...why not the 28th...
