Xia Qianqian pulled the bamboo bundle through the fields and onto the road, attracting the attention of many people along the way.

"The silly girl from the Xia family started chopping bamboo again."

"I heard that she was so good at weaving that she sold the knitted things in the market and made a lot of money." Some people were envious.

"Tch!" Someone retorted, "Some gadgets can earn a few copper coins. At the end of the month, she has to repay Zhang Cuicui ten taels of silver. Will she earn enough?"

"If you do the math, ten taels of silver in ten days will definitely not be enough."

"Let's see. In a few days, when Zhang Cuicui comes back, there will be a good show to watch." Someone gloated and smiled.

"I don't know how to deal with this idiot girl?"

"..."

Xia Qianqian ignored everyone's comments, dragged the bamboo bundle to the door of her house, and then called out: "Mom, open the door!"

"Xia Qianqian is back!"

As soon as the door opened, Li Yunniang stepped forward and while helping to pull the bamboo bundle, she complained: "Next time I go out, I must ask my mother to go with me."

When she spoke, she looked a little flustered.

The two of them dragged the bamboo through the door. When they looked up, Xia Qianqian realized that there was one more person in the courtyard.

It’s the neighbor half a road away from her house, the Wang family’s Li family.

She is in her early forties. In terms of appearance, she is not as beautiful as Li Yunniang, but she is still considered a mature lady, and her charm is still there.

The ancestors of the Wang family and the Li family lived in Fu'an Village, and they separated from their husband's parents and brothers long ago. The man in the family worked as an errand in a mansion in Jiangcheng, so there was no need to subsidize the two elders. They had a son and a daughter, and their childhood was more prosperous than that of other families in Fu'an Village.

A lot.

The only regret is that her eldest daughter is the same age as Xia Qianqian and is still unmarried.

On weekdays, Xia Qianqian calls her Aunt Li.

"Aunt Li is coming to the door!" Xia Qianqian nodded in greeting.

"Yo yo! Qianqian girl is back."

Li looked at Xia Qianqian with his eyes, and stepped forward with a smile, "With such a thin body, it is really hard work to chop bamboo and weave baskets for sale!"

"It's not bitter!" Xia Qianqian said a few words of greeting, put the bamboo bundle on the ground, and began to untie the rope.

Unexpectedly, Mrs. Li was extremely enthusiastic today. He stepped forward to hold her hand and comforted her, "Girl, you must have been scared that day!"

Xia Qianqian retracted her hand silently, with a puzzled look on her face.

With a look of regret on her face, Mrs. Li complained to herself: "That mother-in-law Zhang Cuicui, asking for ten taels based on her man's affairs is really too much."

Why did this person suddenly come to defend her?

When something goes wrong, there must be a monster.

Xia Qianqian's eyes darkened, Li's purpose in coming to her house must not be simple.

"No matter what you do, God is watching, and that woman won't get anything good."

As she spoke, Mrs. Li covered her mouth and snickered, "I'm afraid you don't know that that day, Zhang Cuicui was sent to a neighboring village screaming all the way. When the man who treated her saw her injured area, he waved his hands repeatedly and hid as if running for his life.

Woohaha..."

Ms. Li almost burst out laughing, "Many people ran to watch the excitement. The old lady was so embarrassed that she bumped into the wall and the ground, shouting that she didn't want to live anymore."

"The village chief had no choice but to hire a carriage and send her to Jiangcheng for treatment."

While speaking, she paused, glanced at Li Yunniang, and said sternly: "I came here to remind you that Zhang Xiaohua just became a concubine for the subordinates of the General Counselor not long ago, and she is very favored. Please.

Otherwise, how could the village chief pamper her and take care of her so much?"

When Li Yunniang heard this, she looked ugly and lowered her head silently.

Xia Qianqian withdrew her hand from her palm and continued to lower her head to untie the rope, as if it had nothing to do with her.

Being ignored, Mrs. Li was so angry that her heart was filled with fire.

She rolled her eyes and emphasized her tone, "You have offended him, and your life will definitely be difficult in the future."

Xia Qianqian untied the rope, picked up the machete, and swung it down, "swish, swish" twice, and the leaves on the bamboo fell off.

Li was shocked. Where could this child have so much murderous aura?

But for the five taels of silver promised by the Liu family, she suppressed her fear and said with a straight face: "Girl, why don't you nod your head and marry Liu Erniu from the village."

That’s it, that’s the point.

Xia Qianqian leaned on the bamboo in her hand, straightened up, and stared at Mr. Li coldly.

At the west end of Fu'an Village, there is a Liu family with two brothers named Liu Daniu and Liu Erniu.

Liu Daniu got married early, and his daughter-in-law had a strong temper and was known as a tigress. After only five days of marriage, they split up the family.

The boss divided most of the family property and land, leaving his elderly parents to Liu Erniu.

This Liu Erniu is in his early thirties. Not only is he stupid, he is also crazy. He does not work all day and wanders around the village with nothing to do.

Whoever speaks louder, whoever walks is an eyesore to him, even if others look at him, if he doesn't get his way, he will hit him with a stick.

The villagers have made suggestions to the village chief many times. However, Liu Erniu is physically strong and no one can control him. His brain is not normal and nothing can be done to him.

Over time, when everyone saw him, they all hid away, and no one dared to marry their daughter to him.

This Mr. Li was so attentive for nothing that she came to arrange a marriage between her and Liu Erniu?

Xia Qianqian smiled coldly and said firmly: "I won't marry!"

"The girl's family has the final say whether to marry or not."

Li ignored Xia Qianqian and turned to grab Li Yunniang's arm, "My child is not sensible, but you must be able to understand people. Your girl is stupid and crazy. She was blackmailed out of ten taels of silver in vain, and you still treat it as a treasure."

."

She glanced at Xia Qianqian, raised her voice and said, "I don't have any money, and I have offended Mrs. Zhang's family. Either the family will be given land and the whole family can drink the northwest wind, or the person will be sent to the government office and imprisoned."

"Also, you know who Zhang Dakui is. If you are kidnapped by him, sent to a brothel, and end up in that dirty place, you might as well marry Liu Erniu."

"It is better to serve one person than to serve a group of people."

She looked sympathetic and said earnestly: "I see how pitiful you orphans and widowed mothers are, so I enthusiastically came here to show you a clear path."

"When Xia Qianqian gets married, as long as she takes good care of Liu Erniu and gives him a son and a half, your family will have his family to rely on, but you still have to worry about not being able to survive, and you are also afraid of being bullied by the Zhang family's mother-in-law.

?"

Li curled her lips and raised her eyebrows, "I might as well say it clearly, Liu Erniu's cousin-in-law is a popular person in front of the General. As long as your daughter is married, Zhang's son-in-law will still dare to take advantage of you.

How?"

"If you don't look at the monk's face or the Buddha's face, the Zhang family will definitely not dare to defraud you in the future. Maybe you can get the ten taels of silver certificate back."

Can I get the voucher for the ten taels of silver notes back?

Then her family’s land will be saved.

A flash of light flashed in Li Yunniang's eyes, but when she thought of Liu Erniu at the west end of the village, she shook her head violently.

A few days ago, she saw Liu Erniu's aunt Wang Wang, walking with a limp and a green forehead.

The two collided head-on. She was embarrassed and explained that she accidentally fell, but Li Yunniang knew clearly that she must have been beaten by her son.

When she thought about how Qianqian would live such a miserable life if she married, Li Yunniang flatly refused: "We Qianqian will not marry."

"Don't refuse in a hurry!" Mrs. Li was not annoyed. She glanced sideways at Xia Qianqian and smiled playfully: "Liu Erniu is stupid, and Xia Qianqian is not much better."

"Liu Erniu is ugly, but your girl is not a flower in the village."

"Liu Erniu's family is not rich, but at least they can eat rice for every meal. Besides..."
