Chapter 10363
Because of the job of cooking for the craftsmen, Yang Huaming forcibly deprived him of his job.
As a result, Mrs. Liu devoted more attention to exploring Li Qiaoer.
Only five or six days had passed, and Mrs. Liu came to the second room.
Yang Ruoqing, Sun Shi, and Bao Suyun happened to be there too.
Yang Ruoqing came here purely to visit Xiu Xiu and her son.
Mrs. Sun continued to give mugwort to Xiu Xiu and her son for bathing.
Bao Suyun was preparing to go to the county town with Mianmian and the children, so he was dealing with things at home these two days.
This time, Xiu Xiu was given an old hen and forty eggs.
Cao Bamei was so grateful that she was cleaning up there.
Then, Mrs. Liu entered the house in a hurry and brought everyone the latest news from Li Qiaoer.
"I found out, tsk tsk, Li Wei mother and son are really not human!"
"It's okay to be bad to my wife. After all, we don't have the same last name."
"You are so cruel to your own daughter, she is worse than a beast!"
As soon as Mrs. Liu entered the house, she started making noises.
Fortunately, the baby was awake and Xiuxiu was holding him in her arms to feed him.
But even so, I heard Liu making such a noise.
A certain baby who was enjoying the meal with gusto couldn't help but temporarily let go of his mouth, and his eyes moved, as if looking for the source of the sound.
This made Xiuxiu and Yang Ruoqing next to them couldn't help but soften their faces when they saw this.
After all, little creatures like cubs can bring the most happiness to people.
It can also heal people.
During this period of time, if you just stay alone in the room and sulk.
Then I would probably think of going all over the place and getting into trouble.
But it’s different when you have your children by your side.
Look at the child's delicate and cute little face, watch him enjoy the meal in your arms, and occasionally make a satisfied burp sound.
After eating, I fell asleep comfortably in your arms, my eyelashes gently fluttering.
You will have an indescribable sense of accomplishment.
At this moment, when she heard Mrs. Liu coming in angrily, Xiuxiu comforted the child first, and then raised her head to ask Mrs. Liu.
"Fourth Aunt, please slow down and tell me what's going on over there with Qiao'er."
Yang Ruoqing also took advantage of the situation and pulled a stool to Ms. Liu.
After Ms. Liu sat down, she took a few deep breaths and told everyone what she had learned.
"Xiuxiu, you used to be her sister-in-law. Just tell me, did Li Qiaoer talk about her husband's family before?"
"No, I'm sure not!"
Xiu Xiu shook her head decisively. Li Qiaoer was still young, only one or two years older than Xiu Hong.
Although he is taller, it is because Li Wei's parents are both tall.
However, Li Qiaoer is actually younger, has a good personality, and is diligent.
"I didn't mention my husband's family. It was during the twelfth lunar month that your father and uncle took you back to your parents' home, and she got married within seven or eight days!"
After hearing this, everyone in the room, except for the little baby in Xiuxiu's arms who was ignorant of the world, all the others' expressions changed drastically.
"How can this be called marriage? This is simply selling your daughter!" Yang Ruoqing said immediately.
Everyone else had similar reactions.
Marrying a girl in the true sense would not be so hasty.
The matchmaker proposes a marriage, makes an appointment, comes to the door, three big gifts, a bunch of rules and etiquette before getting married...
This trip will basically take a year.
Some families with better conditions may even wait for two or three years, because they need more time to buy a dowry for their daughter.
The best outcome for a girl is to get married once in her life.
Marry once for life, don't look for another family again.
If you really have a hard time, it's okay to make peace with someone, but try not to take that path unless you have to.
For someone like Li Qiaoer, who got married within seven or eight days, it was obvious that she was selling!
Or other exchanges of benefits.
In short, it cannot be called 'married'.
"Fourth Aunt, why was Li Qiaoer suddenly forced to get married?" Yang Ruoqing asked Mrs. Liu again.
This answer is something that everyone is very curious about.
The daughter-in-law returned to her parents' home and sent her daughter out in such a hurry. If nothing else, didn't Li Wei need someone to share the housework?
Mrs. Liu shook her head: "I haven't found out this yet. I have to ask Li Qiaoer himself."
"Well, there are actually things that you can't find out by asking around!" Yang Ruoqing sighed.
This sentence stimulated Mr. Liu.
"Just because I haven't found out now, doesn't mean I can't find out all the time."
"Give me a little effort, and I will continue to inquire."
"Although I couldn't find out the reason for her marriage, I did find out about her husband's family situation when she married into Xujiafan!"
"Hey, do you want to listen? If you don't listen, I won't talk!"
Yang Ruoqing glared at Mrs. Liu directly, "Didn't I just tell you that I didn't ask for information? As for being out of anger?"
"Speak quickly, aren't you anxious when you see Xiu Xiu!"
Mrs. Liu curled her lips and then continued: "I really can't tell whether Li Qiaoer is unlucky or lucky."
"Her husband's family is obviously the richest family in Xujiafan, but her father-in-law is still upright."
"The man she married was not a farmer digging in the soil, but a scholar who had passed the Tongsheng Examination."
"But her man is a consumptive man. He has been lying in bed for three years, hanging by his breath."
When everyone in the room heard about the situation at Li Qiaoer's husband's house, one word flashed through their minds involuntarily.
Yang Ruoqing said that word again, "Could it be that you bought Li Qiaoer to celebrate the occasion?"
The room suddenly became quiet.
No one said a word.
But the answer lies above everyone's head.
Xiuxiu looked sad and sat on the bed, her eyes full of worry.
"This is definitely not Qiaoer's own wish. She was forced to send her out by her mother and her brother."
Hearing Xiu Xiu's murmur, everyone nodded secretly.
Yang Ruoqing said: "So, this mother and son can be so cruel to their own blood relatives, let alone you, Xiu Xiu."
Ms. Liu quickly followed up: "Fortunately, you saw clearly in time. It's still too late to turn around now."
Xiuxiu looked bitter and stared at the child in her arms.
Although everyone said that this child looked like themselves, he didn't look like Li Wei at all.
But Xiuxiu knew that everyone said that deliberately to comfort herself.
This child was not born by drinking the northwest wind alone.
How is it possible that he doesn't look like Li Wei at all?
"It's too cruel, it's really too cruel..." Xiu Xiu murmured in a low voice.
"During this period, I sit in bed every day and think about what happened in the past few years and what Li Wei said to me."
"Thinking about it now, it feels like a dream."
"Xiuxiu, now that you've woken up from your dream, don't think about it anymore." Someone comforted Xiuxiu.
Xiuxiu continued to smile bitterly: "I've been bullied by him to this point. I have children, my youth, and my marriage are all messed up by him. I can't trust men anymore."
