Qinggu thought so and naturally asked.
Sister-in-law Song added: "Last year there was a drought and there was no harvest there. Because we treated family members, we bought some fields last year. My brother-in-law went out to earn money to supplement the family income, but he was tricked and defrauded of all his family property. "
Boss Song passed away two months ago, and Father Song also died this month.
After burying Boss Song, Sister-in-law Song heard that a kind-hearted person was recruiting workers in Qijiang County, so she and her brother-in-law decided to make a living here.
As a result, on the way, my brother-in-law caught wind and cold and almost left.
Sister-in-law Song gave birth to three daughters. Now the eldest daughter is married. The second daughter is not very good. She died early not long after she was born. The third daughter is only ten years old. Now she is living in the eldest daughter's house, waiting for her and her brother-in-law to earn enough money to go back and settle down. Woolen cloth.
The night was getting darker, and the mother-in-law of the family came with clothes and bedding. Qinggu stood up and told her mother-in-law to take care of her, and then left.
Fearing that the mother-in-law would bully others, she called them out and whispered: "We are all poor people. You don't have to help, but don't bully others."
The mother-in-law smiled in a flattering manner: "Don't worry, Miss Qinggu, if the old woman is like that, Miss Qingcan won't send me here, right?"
"Well, I'll come back tomorrow morning. You can rest early next door!" After thinking about it, he still didn't say anything to make her look at someone else.
Sister-in-law Song, who had just walked to the door, intended to come out to see her off, but when she heard Qinggu's words, she felt warm in her heart. She turned around and sat beside her brother-in-law's bed, picking up a handkerchief and wiping the sweat on his forehead.
After wiping away, I finally couldn't help but shed tears: "Ting Feng, we finally met a good person. There are still good people in this world!"
Thinking about the changes in the family in the past two years, it is true that the rich have many friends and the poor have many evil people.
If you are a good person or a bad person, just judge your deeds and ignore your heart! Those who can really help them are good people.
On the way back, Qinggu was thinking absent-mindedly about his own affairs.
After returning home, I went to change my clothes first, and then I went to tell Qin Xiang about the uncle and sister-in-law of the Song family.
Qin Xiang was still settling the accounts. After hearing this, she put down her pen and paper and told Qinggu: "Go find someone more trustworthy and smart. Go to Fushi County early tomorrow morning to check. Remember, don't let anyone find out."
Qing Gu followed the order and left. When he came out, he met Qing Can. Qing Can pulled her to the side room, pointed to the food on the table and said: "It's just heated, eat quickly!"
Qinggu hugged Qingcan's arm and acted coquettishly: "My sister is still kind to me, knowing that I haven't even eaten!"
"Huh, you're so kind, and you have to go through all the trouble to come back now. If the mother-in-law comes, don't you know to leave earlier?"
"Oh, I always feel a little bit unbearable, and I can't help you much. I just want to stay with you and talk to you more."
People may be able to dissipate a lot of the pain and worries in their hearts if they talk about it.
Qing Can sat aside and accompanied Qing Gu. He held his chin with his hand and watched Qing Gu eating gracefully. He sighed and said, "I know, you miss your family, right? Otherwise, you can ask your wife for mercy." , go back and see them?"
"Forget it, my wife has so many things to do now, how can I leave?" Qinggu swallowed the food in his mouth and then refused.
"But, as soon as we leave, we still don't know when we will come back. If you don't go back, I will always worry about you. Here is the monthly silver I saved. You can use it first. Anyway, I will not go back to my home. of."
They are both sold into slavery, but they are still different.
Qingcan was sold by her family. When she was at home, her family did not treat her well and even treated her harshly. Therefore, after she left home, she considered herself completely separated from that family.
But Qinggu was different. She sold herself into the former Li County Cheng Mansion.
Qinggu is the eldest in the family, with five younger brothers and sisters in total.
The father worked hard but could not support the large family, and the mother even ran away with a foreigner who performed acrobatics. Not only did their family become a well-known joke, but the most important thing was that the family could not open the door to the problem.
So, the twelve-year-old Qinggu walked into the county magistrate's house and was bought by Li Siniang for ten taels of silver. After she sent the money back, her father slapped her in the face and said that she would come to get back Qinggu's deed of prostitution.
Qinggu didn't ask his father to come, but he felt warm in his heart. He sent back every month's money to help support the family. However, before she became Qin Xiang's maid, she had very little money.
The father's health is getting worse, and the younger brothers and sisters have not yet grown up enough to take on the family responsibilities. Once they grow up, they will have to face the dowry from their younger sisters and the money from their younger brothers' wives.
Looking at the dozen or so taels of silver on the table, Qinggu's eyes turned red. He reached out and pushed the silver over: "I don't want it, but my sister should keep it for her dowry!"
Qingcan's face suddenly turned red, and she reached out to pinch Qinggu's cheek in a covert manner, calling her nonsense.
Qinggu ducked away with a smile, and the haze just now dissipated.
"I know what my sister is thinking. Isn't the mandarin duck bellyband embroidered under your pillow just to prepare for your marriage?"
Little sisters' private conversations should always be more explicit. Although Qingcan was shy, she was not worried about spreading the word, so she said what Qiao San said to her that was interesting to her.
Qinggu frowned after hearing this. She thought Qingcan had fallen in love with someone in the house, but who knew that person turned out to be Mr. Qiao?
Looking at Qingcan, he asked: "Sister, do you want to marry that Third Master Qiao?"
Seeing that Qing Gu was so serious, Qing Can got up and went to the door, saying to the little maid outside: "You go to my wife's room to wait on you first. If you need anything, call us here."
Then, he closed the door and walked over and sat down again.
"If it were before, our fate would have been to be married to any steward. But now that we are with my wife, we don't have to worry about being given to the second master. However, I don't want to marry a servant and give birth to children in the future. Also a slave."
Qinggu reached out and grabbed Qingcan's hand and shook it hard: "I understand, but does Mr. Qiao really like you? If so, if he finds out that my sister has... will he treat her badly?"
Qingcan's cheeks turned a little white, and her lips trembled a few times. She immediately bit her lower lip with her teeth, not daring to let herself whimper.
When she was at the Li family, Qingcan had been taken away by the county magistrate. In fact, few of the previous maids and young women had escaped his clutches. Qinggu was one of the few who had not been touched by him. Firstly, because She is younger, and secondly, Li Siniang and Qing Can always try their best to protect her.
Of course, she had been hugged by that man before. If Li Siniang hadn't arrived in time that time, she might not have been able to escape. The next day, she saw many scars on Li Siniang's body. Qinggu knew that Li Siniang was beaten by him because he ruined the good thing with the surname Li.
"Then what should I do? What else can I do?" Qingcan held her face and cried softly. She wanted to marry a man who knows both coldness and warmth, but it seems that it is not possible.
Who wouldn't care that she was no longer a virgin?
Qinggu walked over and held Qingcan in his arms, comforting him softly: "Let's just follow my wife. She won't marry us casually. We don't have to worry about someone insulting us at any time. Those things of the past will be in the past." Come on!"
