"Brother Chang'an, where are you going to find so much money?"
Li Qiu sneaked out to meet Gu Changan.
As soon as she returned to Zhang's house, Mrs. Liu was locked up in a wing, probably because she was afraid that she would not be able to sell Li Qiu if her appearance was broken. Although Mrs. Liu was angry, she did not beat Li Qiu. She just cursed outside and threatened to starve her for three days in Li Qiu.
Sister-in-law Qiu Ju was kind enough to let Li Qiu out while Mrs. Liu was out visiting.
There is not much time at the beginning of autumn. After talking to Gu Changan, I have to go back.
Gu Changan scratched his head: "I still have a few rooms. I'll go to the town and find a dentist to take a look. I think I can sell them at this price."
The Gu family used to be rich. The house was made of solid blue bricks and red tiles, with three main rooms and two east and west wing rooms. It was very grand.
Although it has declined in recent years, if you spend some money to repair the house, it is one of the best in Yunxia Village, and it can indeed be sold for a few bucks.
Li Qiu shook his head after hearing this: "After selling the house, where will we live in the future?"
"Then sell those acres of land!"
Mr. Gu didn't have much land left behind, but it was all good land. The soil was very fertile, and the weeds in the land looked fresher than others.
Li Qiu shook his head again: "In a few days, if we pull out the grass, we can grow crops. If we sell the land, we will no longer have a living."
Gu Changan was anxious: "This won't work, and that won't work either. Then tell me, where can I get these ten taels of silver?"
When he was anxious, several green veins popped out on his forehead, which looked a bit ferocious.
Li Qiu glanced at Gu Changan, his eyes were like two pools of water, swimming leisurely, which instantly extinguished the anxiety in Gu Changan's head.
Gu Changan turned away and muttered: "Don't think too much, I'm just worried about money. Your mother-in-law said that if you can't get ten taels of silver in ten days, you will have to be sold to Hong Xiu Zhao. In addition to selling your house and land, I I really can’t think of any other way.”
"Brother Chang'an, those few houses and acres of land are the last things you have left. Are you really willing to sell them for me?"
"What can I do if I don't sell it!" Gu Changan said harshly, "How can I watch you jump into the fire pit?"
Besides, he, Gu Changan, would not suffer any loss from this deal. He could buy a cute little wife for ten taels of silver.
Li Qiu lowered his head and smiled, a coldness flashing through his eyes.
Men are not good people. They say sweet words but don't know what they are thinking.
In the dream, during the ten years of Hong Xiu Zhao, Li Qiu understood a truth.
But if you believe there are ghosts in the world, you can't believe a man's mouth either.
However, Gu Changan was willing to coax her, so she believed it for the time being. She relied on Gu Changan to get out of the Zhang family's fire pit first, and then slowly planned her plans.
"Brother Chang'an, I have a way here that can help you get ten taels of silver easily. I wonder if you have the courage."
In order to settle the matter as soon as possible, Li Qiu did not dare to bargain with Liu, but she could not let Gu Changan lose ten taels of silver in vain.
Gu Changan squinted his eyes and looked at Li Qiu: "What are you doing? You won't ask me to rob you, will you? I can tell you that although I am not a good person, I will never do such unconscionable things. Don't say it, I will do it now Go find someone to look at the house and the land."
This laizi is still a man.
"Brother Chang'an, you have misunderstood me. I am timid. I dare not even think about robbing people."
Li Qiu leaned slightly towards Gu Changan.
Gu Changan couldn't help but stare at her profile. The more he looked at her, the more he liked her.
Where can I find such a beautiful little wife?
Zhang Saner is really blind.
He couldn't help but soften his voice: "Tell me your method."
As long as he is not told to kill people and buy goods, he is willing to do anything for the little wife in front of him.
Li Qiu's eyes turned into crescent moons with smiles: "The wool comes from the sheep. Brother Chang'an, come here with your ears. Tonight, you can gather the wool."
She whispered in Gu Changan's ear, and Gu Changan's eyes widened in an instant: "What? That boy is such a thing. It doesn't hurt to leave such a beautiful little wife at home, but he goes to prostitutes every day! Just wait. , I’ll take it out on you right now!”
"Brother Chang'an!"
Li Qiu hurriedly grabbed Gu Changan's sleeve: "It doesn't matter whether I can vent my anger or not. Helping me get out of the Zhang family's fire pit as soon as possible is the most important thing right now."
Perhaps Li Qiu was too eager, so Gu Changan hesitated for a moment: "Li Qiu, do you really want to live a good life with me, or do you want to use me to escape from the Zhang family?"
Li Qiu didn't expect Gu Changan would ask her this.
After thinking about it, Gu Changan was not a fool, so it was not surprising that he could see her little thoughts.
Li Qiu did not give Gu Changan accurate words: "Brother Changan, if you escape from the Zhang family, I will be yours. What is the difference between the two things?"
Gu Changan scratched his head and thought for a moment, this is really what happened.
If you don't escape from the Zhang family, how can you be his wife?
He has gathered this wool!
Liqiu gave Gu Changan some instructions, then sneaked home and hid in the wing, when his father-in-law Zhang Laowen and his eldest brother Zhang Dalang came back.
The beginning of autumn was often beaten by Zhang Laowen.
People in the village said that Zhang Laowen was honest and could not even fart even after being kicked a hundred times.
But Li Qiu knew that Zhang Laowen was a treacherous person who could do all kinds of bad things as soon as the door was closed and he drank two ounces of wine.
Except for Zhang You, who is studying, and Chen, the powerful and shrewd daughter-in-law of Erga, no one in the family has been punched by Zhang Laowen.
Beginning of Autumn suffers the most.
Who told her to be a child bride whose father did not care for her mother?
Not long after, Zhang Laowen's roar was heard from the other side of the room, mixed with a few unpleasant curse words.
It is estimated that Mrs. Liu told Gu Changan and her, and Zhang Laowen was angry.
Li Qiu hid in the side room and pretended not to hear.
She knew that the nightmare might come true, so she counted her days and saved a little ration every day and hid it in the house, just because she was afraid that the Zhang family would lock her up and deny her food and drink.
At this moment, he bolted the door, took out the hard steamed bun, took a bite and drank a sip of water, finished his meal, took out the half-knitted straw rabbit from under the kang mat, and started knitting it again.
Li Qiu knew in his heart that if he wanted to leave the Zhang family and live a better life, he would have to ask for money everywhere.
In the dream, she had learned a lot of skills from Hong Xiu. She knew everything from music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She could also accumulate money by relying on these skills alone.
But the Zhang family is just a pit of fire. Even if Li Qiu has extraordinary talents, he can't put them to use.
If you want to make big money, you can only jump out of the pit of fire, coax Gu Changan, and slowly make plans.
Now let’s start with a small amount of money.
A few days ago, she went up the mountain to chop pigweed and met a salesman from the town.
The salesman liked the knickknacks she made out of straw very much when he saw them. The two of them agreed that the salesman would pick up these knickknacks and sell them for thirty-seven cents.
After saving for several months, Li Qiu already had 370 yuan.
It’s not a lot of money, but it’s better than nothing.
If Gu Changan was unreliable, she would run away with her life and she would have money with her.
She knitted in the light of day until it got dark, then pulled up the quilt and covered her head and fell asleep at the beginning of autumn. She didn't wake up until daylight came out and the sound of being beaten and cursed came from the yard.
My sister-in-law, Yu Cuihua, was chopping chicken. While chopping, she cursed angrily: "I really think I am a person. The sun is so high, yet I still hide in the house and sleep! A lazy woman, I am not afraid of sleeping to death." !”
