I really don’t know what I mean, but I can think it out and say it out loud.
If those cousins were a little bit decent, she wouldn't be able to hit them, but would just use her mouth to refuse them.
But those things are famous in the ten miles and eight villages. No girl is willing to marry them. The two Hus are not even willing to give them to their nieces. The eldest one is already eighteen this year.
If you can talk about marriage, you have the nerve to do so.
Why are you so polite? Who wants to be polite to you? I can’t kill you and me!
It was rare for Old Yuan to get angry and he waved a feather duster at the two of them. They were so frightened that they quickly got up and hid in all directions.
But he hid and hid, but he still didn't run out of the tea shed.
Mrs. Xiao, who had been holding back her words, couldn't help it anymore, and said at the same time: "You really don't know the heart of a good person, we are just thinking about Song Qiu! It's okay if you don't appreciate it, but you are still like this
To us! Let’s see who is willing to marry you, and you can just wait to be an old girl for the rest of your life!”
Old Yuan became even angrier when he heard this, and the feather duster in his hand almost flew up.
But after all, I’m getting older, and after running for such a while, I’m a little out of breath.
Song Qiu was afraid that her breasts would fall, so she quickly picked up the feather duster and pushed it up quickly and accurately.
"Don't mention this. Even if I'm an old girl all my life, I won't invite those lazy guys from your family to come to your door. Get out of here! Don't come here again! I still have the IOU at home. Believe it or not, I'll go to the county government office to give it to you.
The lord is suing for justice? See if you still don’t pay back the money!”
Mrs. Xiao was suddenly slapped with a feather duster, and when she heard Song Qiu's words, she felt a little frightened.
Ordinary people are arrogant to everyone, but they are afraid of meeting the chief of the pavilion. How dare they go to see the official?
This girl has big ideas, how dare she not make her anxious?
She was afraid of seeing the official. She couldn't do it now and had to think of other ways.
He quickly winked at Mrs. Xiao and ran outside quickly.
Seeing that the person was running so fast that he no longer wanted to be an eyesore, Song Qiu put down the feather duster.
Old Yuan on the side was still very angry, "This person is so outrageous! Ah Qiu, let's not do business recently. Your second aunt has a deep mind and she can't say anything wrong. I'm worried."
"Because of this matter, if we don't do this business, we'll be in a panic! But I'm not afraid of her. You're really worried. How about I ask Shitou to go to town with me every day? He's very strong.
It's okay to fight, but those bastards from the Jiang family can't beat him!" Song Qiu said.
When Mr. Yuan heard this, he knew that the business would not be successful if he did not do it, so it would be inappropriate for him to be so afraid of others.
"Okay, I'll go to the town with your Uncle Wujin every day, and Shitou will follow you when you come back. It's daybreak, and there will be people coming and going. If you shout out if something happens, there will always be someone to help. You are right, those few
You coward can't hit a rock!"
For this reason, as soon as Song Qiu closed the stall, he went to Zhou's house. When he approached Shitou and told him about it, Zhou Shitou naturally agreed and said it was no problem.
But when Song Qiu left, Man Ju who was listening couldn't help but said: "No, you can't go."
Zhou Shitou was puzzled, "Why can't you go? I'm just helping Aqiu, and I promised her, mother, why didn't you tell me first?"
Manju said: "Of course I have no problem with you helping Aqiu, but it just doesn't work."
In addition to Aqiu, she knew that Lihua girl also went to town every day.
This just doesn't work.
Seeing that Zhou Shitou couldn't make sense with his mother, he didn't argue. He just thought that he could talk to his father when he came back later.
Jin came back on Friday. As soon as he heard about this, he knew how particular his daughter-in-law was. She just comforted her son and just got up early tomorrow.
At night, she couldn't help but said to Man Ju: "We just went to town together for a few days, why did you prevent yourself from being like this? You have met a lot of people these days. There are good girls. What son do you think
Are you willing to nod?"
Manju was not happy, "The news of the Zhang family's proposed marriage to Lihua has spread, and you have heard it too. They have to find someone with a rich family who can afford a generous betrothal gift. Our family can afford it.
, but I just don’t want to act like I’m selling my granddaughter.”
Zhou Wujin then laughed, "The girl from the Liu family also wants ten taels of silver. Why didn't you say that she sold her daughter? If you ask me, the pear blossoms are not bad, so why is the girl from the Liu family not worth ten taels of silver?"
"But this is not something that can be solved with only ten taels of silver! The Zhang family is too troublesome, and I don't want to do it anyway! You live in a village, and it's not like you don't have ears. These days, you are buying a house in the county for a big house.
, haven’t you had to worry too much? I heard that the couple signed a ten-year contract just to pay eighty taels of silver!"
"I won't marry this family, it's too bad!"
Wu Wujin was about to say something more, but Manju was already looking inside, acting like I've already decided, don't try to influence my thoughts, and didn't intend to continue the discussion with him.
Seeing this, Wu Wujin sighed, but there was nothing he could do about it. It was not as easy for his son to find a wife of his choice as it was back then.
Difficult, difficult.
Although Man Ju was nagging, she didn't stop Zhou Shitou from following him to the town.
For this reason, Zhou Shitou was so happy that he grinned from the corner of his mouth to the back of his ears, and drove the mule cart almost to the point of flying.
On the way there, I was followed by Wu Wujin driving an ox cart, which was fine. But when I got to the town and came back, I kept chattering all the way.
Song Qiu sat back silently, and now he felt that the light on his head was a little brighter.
Zhang Lihua didn't think much about it at first. Even if Song Qiu asked her like that last time, she didn't take it to heart.
But along the way, she realized that Shitou seemed to be extraordinarily enthusiastic towards her, and seemed to have endless things to say to her, which made her feel uncomfortable.
One of the conjectures seemed to be almost exposed, which shocked Zhang Lihua decisively.
So, he stopped coming with us the next day and stayed at home to help Mr. Yuan make mung bean soup and cold shrimps.
Zhou Shitou came excitedly, but he couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when he didn't see Zhang Lihua.
After enduring it for a long time, it wasn't until the way back that I couldn't help but ask Song Qiu, "Aqiu, did you check in on me last time? Does Lihua not like me?"
Hearing this, Song Qiu remembered what Lihua said to her yesterday.
At that time, Lihua asked her, "Aqiu, do you think Shitou likes me? They say that the people next to me can see it clearly. I feel a little fuzzy and unsure. Aqiu, you can see clearly. You can tell me and I will listen."
.”
Song Qiu hesitated for a while before telling her, "Yes, Shitou likes you. You can tell it, right?"
Zhang Lihua sighed and didn't know what she thought of. She just shook her head and said: "Then Ah Qiu, I won't go to town with you tomorrow. After this time, the stone will not go away, and I will follow you again."
go."
Song Qiu knew in her heart that Lihua knew that the results would be futile, so she was unwilling to dive in, wasting the stone and hurting herself.
Hearing Zhou Shitou's words at this time, Song Qiu couldn't help but sigh in his heart.
"If Lihua doesn't like you, Shitou, what should you do?"
