Chapter 9: Each One Has His Own Thoughts

Zheng was anxious when she heard this. She quickly glanced at Su Sanxi and said, "Well, that was bought by your grandmother.

After saying this, she felt that this was a sufficient reason and unconsciously straightened her body. Could her mother-in-law still refute her for Qingying?

Unexpectedly, she heard Su Qingying say to her, "Aunt San, are you willing to let me search? If I find copper coins, they will belong to me."

"Why! "Zheng said loudly.

Su Qingying smiled faintly and buried her head in eating again.

Zheng herself reacted and blushed. She looked at Wang cautiously, then buried her head in the rice bowl and ate quickly, not daring to come out again.

Wang was very disappointed and glared at her.

Su Erhe's wife Feng glanced at Zheng quickly and then retracted her gaze.

Even if the eldest sister-in-law had private money, how much could it be? The Lu family in the town gave Qingying fifty taels of silver for marriage. In addition to marrying the younger brother-in-law, it can be used for a long time if she saves. The eldest wife has no money. Why bother to make Qingying unhappy?

Ever since Qingying was caught by her mother-in-law and her uncle's cousins, she has known how to resist. But she is going to get married soon, why bother to provoke her instead of coaxing her! Qingying jumped up. What if she doesn't get married? What good will it be when everything goes wrong?

While thinking, she put a chopstick of food into Xia He's bowl, who was sitting next to her. The mother and daughter just ate their food, ignoring the eye contact and lawsuit of Zheng and the others.

Both Su's father and mother were honest people, and they lived cautiously under the control of their stepmother and stepmother-in-law. , usually they would try to avoid trouble as much as possible. When they heard Zheng talking about her private money, the couple was frightened and broke into a cold sweat. They were worried about being scolded by Wang, but they didn't expect Qingying to help them out with just a few words.

The couple breathed a sigh of relief.

Usually, when they saw the peddler coming to the village, Qingying, Qingyang, and Qingxing would just stare at him and not take out a single copper coin. The couple saw this and felt very sad.

Later, they also learned to hide one or two copper coins.

After saving for so many years, they only had more than 200 copper coins. This time, Qingying got married and couldn't afford to buy a house for her child. To prepare the dowry, fortunately the child's grandfather said that he would give one or two taels of silver to buy it, otherwise the child would have to enter the Lu family naked.

After the meal, everyone was full.

After the meal, everyone left the main hall together. Without waiting for the second room to clean up, the rich and the noble started to ask their grandmother to share the cakes.

In the main hall, Feng and Xia He were cleaning up. Su's mother was a person with a lively eye, so she went over to help.

Zheng was sitting in the main hall picking her teeth, staring at the cakes in Wang's hand.

While watching, she said with a sigh: "This is really generous. This donkey roll costs twenty coins per tael. Qingying, you are really willing to spend money. Your mother has saved a lot of private money."

Qingying couldn't bear to see Su's mother busy from morning to night. Seeing that Su's mother wanted to stay to help, she also took the twins to the main hall to help her from time to time. When she heard Zheng's words, she was about to refute, but she didn't expect that Xiao Qingxing was angry because most of the cakes were taken away, and she snatched them and said: "We didn't buy them, they were given to us! We don't have any private money!"

"Given? Who would be so generous as to give such expensive cakes and pastries?" Zheng sneered, looking unconvinced.

"It was given to me!" Xiao Qingxing was told by her sister not to tell what happened in the town today, so she only said this sentence. She didn't give Lu Bocheng out.

These days, meeting a man secretly, even if it's a fiancé, is not a good reputation.

Zheng still didn't believe it.

She thought to herself, it turns out that Zhang is just honest on the surface, these cakes and pastries are more than one or two silver coins. Tsk tsk, it seems that she has made a mistake, Zhang is actually a traitor.

Su Qingying glanced at Zheng indifferently, and said in a cold voice: "Third aunt, do you think I am willing to buy such expensive cakes and pastries to share with the family? I have that money, but I don't buy some dowry for myself? Instead, I am willing to buy cakes and pastries for my two cousins ​​to sweeten their mouths. "

Seeing Zheng was stunned by what she said, Su Qingying turned to Wang: "Grandma, you received fifty taels of silver, but not one tael of it fell into the hands of my parents. I wonder what you are planning for my dowry? There are only a few days left. I wonder if you will buy it or give money to my parents to buy it?"

Wang's eyes widened immediately after hearing this: "Didn't your grandfather say that he would give your father one tael of silver to buy it? Is this not enough? When your mother got married, she had nothing but two sets of clothes. What else do you want!"

Su Qingying saw that Su's mother, who was cleaning up the dishes, lowered her head in embarrassment, and squinted her eyes and looked at Wang: "I wonder what dowry grandma brought when she got married? "

When Wang heard this, she choked.

What dowry could she have? Her family was even poorer than Zhang's, otherwise they would not have married her to the Su family, whose wife had died and who had two little burdens.

The old Su outside the main hall took two puffs of water pipe before saying, "I've talked to the village carpenter Su to buy you some cabinets and boxes for your house. They will be ready in two days. Ask your father to take them away then."

When Su's father in the yard heard this, he immediately said to the old Su with a grateful look on his face, "Thank you, Dad! I'll go take a look tomorrow. "

Su Qingying glanced outside and saw that Su's father was full of joy. He sighed and said nothing more. He took Qingyang and Qingxing's hands and went back to the room.

When Su's mother helped the second room to pack up and returned to the first room, she couldn't wait to grab Su Qingying and asked about what happened in the town today.

How did she meet Lu Bocheng?

Did Qingying go to the town to find him?

Although she and the child's father were not satisfied with the Lu family, if Qingying went to see him, if someone saw it, they would say something bad, which would ruin Qingying's reputation.

The five people in the first room gathered in the room of Su Qingying and the two twins.

There are seven people in the big house, and they are only divided into two rooms in the east wing.

Before Su Qingying left for the conscription, he shared a room with Youwen and Youwu from the second room. Later, her eldest sister got married, so she slept in the same room with her twins. Fortunately, the twins were still small and very thin, so they could still fit in the same bed.

When Su's father heard Su's mother's question, he looked at Su Qingying with her.

The twins in the room were sharing a piece of cake, but they stopped eating now and carefully wrapped them and put them away. There is joy in my eyes, there are so many, one piece a day can last me many days!

The two little ones had smiles on their faces. After listening to Su's mother's questions, they started chattering and trying to shake off everything that happened in the town today.

After that, he concluded: "Mom, that brother is not a bad person."

Xiao Qingxing sat in Su's mother's arms, holding the corner of Su's clothes and looking straight at her.

Mother Su nodded her forehead: "Do you know what a good person or a bad person is? If I buy you cakes to eat, you are not a bad person?"

Xiao Qingxing pouted and shook Su's mother's clothes.

"He's not as bad as the leopard in the village. He doesn't look like that." Xiao Qingyang added.

The Huabao Xiao Qingyang was talking about was the only son of a widow in the village. His father died on the battlefield, and his mother never remarried, raising him alone. Every family in the village helped me, so I grew up eating from hundreds of families.

But this person doesn't want to be grateful. One family will catch a chicken today, and that family will dig up some vegetables tomorrow. The land will not be planted properly, but they will just keep an eye on the crops in someone's field that are about to ripen, and quickly carry a sack in to grab a harvest. sack. Every family has complained to the village chief countless times. He deserves to be nice, but his head remains the same.

And they even snatch snacks from children. He also helped those gangsters in the town to ask for protection money from farmers and businessmen who set up stalls. If they didn't pay, they would threaten them with sticks. He has a ferocious look on his face that even children are afraid of. He is an unwelcome presence in the village.

Su's father was silent for a while, and then said: "Dad asked around in the town, and the review of Lu Bochengfeng was very bad. He said that he didn't study well since he was a child, so he loved to fight. When he grew up, he would play with cats and dogs. He is eight or nine years old, but he doesn’t do anything serious. He drinks and goes to flower houses every day. Moreover, he is about to go to war. He doesn’t know whether he will come back or not. Like your brother, there is no news at all..."
