The two sisters were illiterate, but looking at the paper filled with words, they knew that they had given a lot of things.
Without saying a word, the two immediately rolled up their sleeves and went to the side room, vowing to ask Mr. Liu for clarification.
The rain was getting heavier and heavier. As Li Qiu packed up the kitchen, he felt a little confused.
It rained so heavily. Where did the two brothers Zhang You and Zhang Erga go?
After taking a look at the side room, Liqiu went out with a few eggs and an umbrella.
The quarrel between the two sisters was enough for Ms. Liu, so she stopped joining in the fun.
In the dream, she was in Hongxiuzhao. In addition to learning piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and how to seduce men, she also learned some low-level medical skills.
Sometimes when a man is not good enough, or needs to be entertained, he has to use some secret medicine.
She remembered that those secret medicines were easy to prepare, and some herbs could be found on the mountain behind the village.
When it rains so heavily, the villagers won't come out. She went to collect herbs at this time, and no one saw her, so it was convenient.
Liqiu found what he was looking for easily.
She couldn't go back to Zhang's house with these things, so after thinking about it, she shamelessly knocked on Gu Changan's door.
After knocking for a long time, no one answered. With a gentle push, the door opened.
Li Qiu put down his things and walked around the room.
Aunt Sun and others were very quick and managed to tidy up the three rooms in one morning.
It's a pity that this house is very empty, not to mention tables, chairs and benches, there are not even pots and pans.
After searching for a long time, I found two broken bowls in the half-collapsed kitchen.
Li Qiu sighed softly. It seemed that she really had to ask for more dowry from Mrs. Liu, otherwise, how would she live in the future?
She found a stone, crushed various herbs, put them in one of the broken bowls, put the eggs into another bowl, and placed them on the kang.
As soon as he went out, he met Gu Changan who was soaked to the skin.
"beginning of autumn!"
Gu Changan's eyes seemed as clear as if they had been washed by the rain: "Why are you here?"
He was tall, and beyond the beginning of autumn, his eyes brightened even more when he saw the eggs on the kang: "Did you give me eggs?"
"It's just cooked, you can eat it."
Gu Changan's clothes were a bit old, and his elbows were patched with patches, but the stitches were neat.
Seeing Li Qiu staring at these patches, Gu Changan was very embarrassed: "These places are easy to break. When I make new clothes, I will patch these places."
Li Qiu raised his eyebrows in surprise: "Did you apply these patches yourself?"
"That's natural!" Gu Changan was very proud, "I don't have a woman in my family, and I don't know how to sew. I'll be in trouble with the aunties all the time. It's so embarrassing."
After saying that, he carefully looked at Li Qiu's face.
"You don't think it's worthless for a grown man to mend his own clothes, do you?"
"Of course not," Li Qiu hurriedly shook his head, "I was thinking about doing something to make a living and make money after we get married. Since you know how to sew, the two of us can do sew together and save some money."
"I can't do it!"
Gu Changan quickly waved his hand: "I know this kind of stitching. I learned it from Aunt Sun. I can also sew and mend. I can't do anything else."
Li Qiu smiled: "It's enough to sew and mend."
Gu Changan was very embarrassed and smiled naively: "Liqiu, you don't have to worry about money. I know that people in the village call me Laizi. That's because I have no father or mother. My grandfather also went away. I was still a child at that time. As a half-grown child, if I hadn’t been wiser, I would have been bullied to death a long time ago.”
"I was not sensible before, and there was no one around me who knew how to feel about coldness and pain. I only had enough to eat, and the whole family was not hungry. I didn't want to worry about what would happen in the future, so I didn't want to do anything. Don't worry, I will definitely listen to you in everything from now on. Yes, I will definitely not make you hungry."
Li Qiu nodded: "I believe you."
You can't trust everything a man says, and who can't?
Believe it or not, let’s see later.
The rain was gradually getting lighter. I held an umbrella and was about to leave at the beginning of autumn. Seeing that Gu Changan was still wearing soaked clothes, I kindly reminded him: "Change your clothes, be careful of catching a cold."
Gu Changan's eyebrows were filled with joy: "Li Qiu, you care about me so much? To be honest, have you already fallen in love with me?"
Li Qiu suddenly became angry: "What are you talking about! Who has fallen in love with you long ago! If not..."
"If not what?"
Li Qiu pursed her lips and swallowed half of her words: "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going back."
She hurried out the door, her face burning badly.
This Gu Laizi has no integrity!
He couldn't say more than three sentences, and then he started to talk nonsense. As expected, men don't have any good things.
The victorious general Gu Changan in her dream was definitely not Gu Laizi.
If Gu Laizi can become a general, Yuan Liqiu might also be able to become a queen.
Bah bah bah!
Thinking of the emperor who was drained by wine and sex in his dream, Yuan Liqiu spat a few more times.
She would not be a queen for such an emperor, bad luck!
Back at Zhang's house, as soon as they hid the herbs, Chen Yunfang and Yu Cuihua entered the kitchen.
"Yuan Liqiu!" Yu Cuihua was the first to attack, "You are such a black-hearted person, our family has raised you for seven or eight years, and now we are looking for a good family for you, and you treat your mother like this? You actually force her to stay here? Put your fingerprints on the dowry list! Where is the dowry list? Bring it to me!"
Li Qiu was embroidering her hands, but her eyes glanced at Chen Yunfang: "My elder sister-in-law forced me to take out the dowry list. Does this mean the second sister-in-law too?"
Yu Cuihua rushed to speak: "The second brother and I share the same heart! Yuan Liqiu, you are not from this family. The third brother insists on being a good person and recognizes you as his sister, but my parents haven't nodded yet! Since he Since I have accepted you as my sister, he should pay for the dowry, why should I ask my parents to pay for it?"
Li Qiu pursed her lips and smiled: "Sister-in-law is right. It is natural for the third brother to pay for my dowry. But the third brother has no money, so doesn't he have to ask his parents to pay for it? After all, I can be regarded as an indirect help. Got two sisters-in-law.”
"Bah! Stop putting gold in your own face!" Yu Cuihua spat, "What did you do for us? What good did we get? You and the third child took all the good things! The whole family thinks I am a fool, Yuan Liqiu, let me tell you, I am not stupid!"
"Yes, yes, sister-in-law is the smartest."
Liqiu seemed to be coaxing a child, coaxing Yu Cuihua to stop cursing, and then asked Chen Yunfang again: "Second sister-in-law, my sister-in-law is simple-minded. My parents coaxed her a little, and my sister-in-law softened her heart and took it seriously. I just want to ask Ask the second sister-in-law what she thinks."
Chen Yunfang held her belly and sat down at the table. She thought about it in her mind before returning to Liqiu: "You said your dowry came from the third child's share, but you want a lot of dowry. If we divide it, Home, the elder third’s share will probably be included in your dowry.”
Li Qiu raised his eyebrows: "Third brother has already been admitted as a scholar, but second sister-in-law still thinks about him? Doesn't second sister-in-law want to separate the family? I have a way to ensure that the two sisters-in-law can get what they want."
