Chapter 80 What marriage?
He can pinch if he wants to, but not if he doesn't want to? What a beautiful idea!
He stopped pretending, and she didn't want to follow him anymore. If she wanted to fall out, she would fall out and pull her down.
I am afraid of breaking off the engagement.
She doesn't owe him anything!
Liao Qing's eyes sternly said, "Nothing good will come of irritating you? Are you going to beat me up? Your temperament has changed drastically, your articulation is sharp, your behavior is abnormal, your agility and a series of other changes... all started after you were fished out of the river. What are you doing?"
Is it possessed by a water ghost or a spirit from the mountains?”
Xu Jiaojiao:......
Labor and management are time-travelers! You are the one who is possessed by the water ghost! Your whole family is possessed by the water ghost!
I have to say that Liao Qing's eyes are quite poisonous.
"Go away, you sister is possessed by a water ghost! I just had an idea and suddenly remembered the books I had read. Liao Qing, you can act out our engagement if you like, or break it off if you don't. Anyway, I am treating you now."
I have no interest at all."
The two men exchanged glances, incompatible with each other.
After a while, Liao Qing withdrew his contemptuous gaze and ate his loquat paste again.
"Are you still interested in Wang Xiaomazi?"
Xu Jiaojiao responded directly, "It's none of your business!"
Liao Qing was sprayed with saliva by Xu Jiaojiao, and he looked Xu Jiaojiao up and down again.
Suddenly, there was a touch of sarcasm in his eyes.
The aggressive demeanor when he questioned her before instantly changed into a sincere one.
"Why are you canceling the marriage? I am a good young man who has been filial to my parents from all over the country and never disobeyed my parents! If you want to cancel the marriage, ask your mother to go to our house and ask for a few taels from you as a victim.
Compensation money and so on. If I cancel the engagement, the compensation money will be gone and my mother will be unhappy."
She's not interested in him?!
It doesn't matter!
He suddenly became interested in people possessed by water ghosts and mountain monsters...
After being possessed by the mountain monster, how far can this person change? In the past, she knew nothing but a bad-hearted, nymphomaniac and stupid village girl who only knew how to run around in the nest, steal food from the whole family and bully her nephews and nieces. Now she has become a stupid village girl.
She has become a good girl who is good at making money, generous, smart and decent, and everyone praises her. Let’s see how long this mountain monster can keep pretending!
Xu Jiaojiao:......
This guy is indeed a shady person!
She did have a few taels of silver, but why should she give it to him?
Co-authored, this is for a few taels of silver, this guy has been pretending to be a big-tailed wolf in front of Xu Zhang.
Anyway, she is not old. She is fifteen years old this year and is not yet a minor. Liao Qing must be eighteen or nineteen years old. At his age, he should have married a wife and had children. She can delay it for a year or two. It will be no problem, Liao Qing thought.
Just wait and spend it with him.
In addition, her reputation for being able to make money has spread out. If she breaks off the engagement rashly, the doorstep of her family will probably be trampled by the matchmaker.
Thinking of this, my previous thoughts of breaking off the engagement and not wanting to have anything to do with Liao Qing were instantly put aside.
Xu Jiaojiao bared her teeth and smiled at Liao Qing, "Haha, I don't need money, but my life. Do you want it? How many taels of silver will you pay? It's a great idea! Do you want to back out of this marriage or not?"
After saying that, he turned around and left, ignoring this guy no more.
Liao Qing was also made to laugh inexplicably. Was he dazzled? He actually thought that the smile of this water ghost mountain monster girl was cunning, cute, and very contagious? So, he also felt a little better inexplicably?
Isn't this possessed by a water ghost or a mountain monster? Is it possessed by a vixen?
Has he watched too much of rural gods, demons and ghosts recently?
Liao Qing was in the process of self-reflection.
Xu Jiaojiao had already reached the cellar door and turned back.
"Oh, by the way! I forgot to mention that my loquat paste is fifty cents a tube. Please leave fifty cents when you leave later. Thank you for your patronage!"
Liao Qing...suddenly felt that the loquat paste was not as sweet as before.
There was a bitter taste in my mouth.
***
It's getting dark.
The weather was hot, and everyone skipped dinner. We went back home early and couldn't sleep.
Most of the neighbors in front of and behind the house enjoy the cool air under the trees.
The women just talked about the news and gossip around the village.
The men smoked, chatted, or played bougainvillea and other hobbies.
Xu Youde was smoking a big cigarette under a tree, surrounded by a circle of old friends, talking about the weather this year and the good harvest.
Mrs. Xu Zhang was also the focus of everyone's attention among the women, and everyone was talking about her, either intentionally or unintentionally.
Now that loquat ointment is profitable, there is also loquat wine that is also profitable.
In the past, Mrs. Xu Zhang was famous among her neighbors for being abusive and cruel, but now that she has an old daughter who can make money, her reputation has become even greater.
Luo Shi was also playing with the baby nearby.
Xu Jiaojiao, Erya and Sanya were sitting among the girls. Among the girls, Xu Jiaojiao was also a key figure.
With nothing to do, Xu Jiaojiao was learning needlework from Erya and Sanya, holding a small stretcher and playing with embroidery.
The embroidery looks unremarkable, but there are a group of little girls saying yes.
Yuan held the shoe soles in his hand and made them into thousand-layer cloth shoes. It took a lot of work, but they were comfortable to wear.
Picking up shoe soles takes time, and I usually spend my spare time doing it.
While picking up the soles of her shoes, Yuan glanced towards the entrance of the village with a worried look on her face.
Mrs. Xu Zhang also looked over from time to time. It was now one o'clock, and Xu Laoer hadn't come home yet.
Seeing that it was getting dark, Mrs. Xu Zhang became increasingly uneasy.
Mrs. Xu Zhang asked Mrs. Yuan, "What did your man say when he went out in the morning? Why don't you come home so late?"
Yuan stopped sewing. In fact, she was feeling inexplicably anxious. She had long thought about talking about Xu Laoer, but she was afraid that her parents-in-law would find out something.
"I didn't say much. I just said that I would go hunting in the mountains and come back later. I left food for him. Mom, will something happen to our leader? How about we go into the mountains to find it?"
Her eyelids had been twitching since the afternoon, and when she cooked food for the little piggy, she almost burned her hands to the point of blistering.
My mind has been unstable.
I always feel like something bad is about to happen.
She had been married to Xu Laoer for fifteen years, and this was the first time she had such a strong foreboding premonition.
Xu Zhang opened his mouth and scolded, "Looking? It's getting dark now. The mountain is so big. Where can we find someone? I told him not to go into the mountains and just try his luck on the outside. I don't have any hope."
He hunts to support his family. Is it because you, a thief behind the scenes, made him go into the mountains? Just to hide some private money! You are such a snake-hearted woman. In order to catch money, you will not even care about the life and death of your own men..."
When Yuanshi was scolded, she lowered her head and did not dare to speak.
Xu Youde coughed to remind his daughter-in-law to go back to the house and discipline her. It was not good-looking to lose face in public.
