"So that's it." Song Qiu reached out and touched Miao Xiang's dry and greasy hair, and said softly: "Then has this matter been settled? Have you seen the time?"
Miao Xiang wiped away her tears and was not afraid of Song Qiu. Sister Song Qiu was a good person and she was still working in Sister Song Qiu's workshop.
"It's been decided. My grandma said that if there is a good time, we will ask Aunt Fang to come in before the New Year. Then the New Year will be more lively."
In the past, there were always three of them, but now there are two more people. It’s really fun.
She also heard her aunt tell her grandma that Aunt Fang was still young and in good health, so she would definitely be able to have children if she got married.
When the time comes, I will give my father a son.
Grandma was looking forward to her grandson, so she was so happy that she wished she could bring him in as soon as possible so that she could have her grandson next year.
She is a girl, she has to be married off, and she cannot inherit the Cao family.
Not every grandma is as good as Grandma Yuan.
Sister Song Qiu can stay at home and recruit a new wife.
In fact, she wanted to say that she was also willing.
Unfortunately, grandma won't be willing.
Now, she only hopes that before her brother is born, her grandma will protect her more and prevent Aunt Fang's daughter from beating her and bullying her.
If she had to endure it for a few more years, it would be fine if Aunt Fang's daughter got married.
She is older than her and must have married before her.
Cao Daqiao is only less than thirty this year, and it is impossible to stop marrying forever. This time, someone is willing to marry him. Although he is a widow, this matter is probably fixed and cannot be changed.
It's going to rain and my father wants to get married. How can outsiders take care of this kind of thing?
Song Qiu could only comfort Miao Xiang and tell her to be more open-minded, it wouldn't be so bad.
Miao Xiang also knew that this matter could not be changed. No matter what, life would have to pass, so she shed her tears quickly.
Seeing that she stopped crying, Song Qiu took advantage of the situation and asked without leaving any trace: "I just heard what Zaohua said about the village chief's grandma secretly scolding your father. What's going on? Does Uncle Daqiao always beat and scold you?"
Miao Xiang didn't know what she was thinking of, and shook her head quickly, "No, my father doesn't beat me."
Zhang Zaohua was anxious, "I beat you obviously. Sister Aqiu is a good person, and she won't go out and talk nonsense. Miao Xiang, why do you have to hide it? Your father just beat you. I always see something on you."
Red mark, what could it be if it wasn’t beaten and pinched? Last time the village chief’s grandma saw it, didn’t she pull you in and ask? Although I don’t know what you told the village chief’s grandma, but the village chief’s grandma will hit you in the middle of the afternoon.
I went home to talk to your father. I can see that the village chief’s grandma must have scolded him. Didn’t you also say that your father stopped beating you later?”
Miao Xiang shook her head, anxiously, her face turned red, she looked at Song Qiu and said repeatedly: "No, no, my father won't beat me."
"That means we don't fight now. We did in the past!" Zhang Zaohua was unconvinced. She had long been dissatisfied with Uncle Daqiao beating Miao Xiang. It was really useless for a father to beat his own daughter.
Just like her father, he has no future and knows how to take it out on her.
Although her forehead was covered by her hair, there was still a mark where her father kicked her, and she always remembered it!
Miao Xiang shook her head, obviously unwilling to say more about this.
Song Qiu looked at it and intuitively felt that this was not an easy fight.
But he didn't ask any more questions, and just comforted Miao Xiang and said: "Don't be afraid that your life will be difficult if your stepmother comes in. If you are bullied then, just come and tell me, and I will find something for you to do so that you can earn money back home."
Home, that way your grandma and your dad won't see you being bullied."
Miao Xiang's eyes lit up when she heard this, "Really? Sister Aqiu, are you really willing to give me a job?"
If she could work in a workshop, she would have twenty cash a day.
No, no, no, she is young and cannot be like the adults. Ten coins, even ten coins is good. She is also satisfied and will definitely do a good job.
Song Qiu touched her head, nodded and said, "Really, if you are bullied, just come to me."
She wanted to help this girl. First, because of that premonition, she felt pity for this little girl.
The second reason is that although Miao Xiang is young, she is very good at work, no worse than ordinary women.
Look at her vegetable garden. It’s all done by Miao Xiang. How good are the vegetables?
I heard that Grandma Cao had no time to work in the workshop, so Miao Xiang did all the clothing and work at home.
Asking her to work is not a loss-making business.
In fact, she said this because she wanted to see if Miao Xiang would tell her the truth, so that she could know whether her premonition was true.
As a result, when the little girl heard that she was willing to ask her to work, she was as happy as anything, and skipped home without even thinking of mentioning it.
Maybe you still feel uncomfortable opening your mouth and don’t dare to do so.
After all, she is an outsider.
The village chief's grandma didn't know what was going on that time.
Now that I said I would stop fighting, why was there still that red mark a few days ago?
Song Qiu couldn't help but sigh, feeling that this matter was really worrying.
"Ah Qiu, what are you doing standing here?" Old Yuan came out after talking to old Deng and saw her granddaughter standing motionless at the door, so she couldn't help but ask.
Song Qiu turned around and said, "Nothing, have you finished talking? Let's go to the inn and have dinner. My second cousin and the others still have to go back."
"It gets dark earlier today, so we have to have dinner early so that they can hurry home."
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Old Yuan nodded and walked out of the yard. The grandfather and grandson went down the gentle slope to the outside of the village.
"Fortunately, your uncle's house is very close. He and I can walk very quickly and can get home in just two-quarters of an hour."
"I was just about to ask your second cousin. I don't know if Qian'er mentioned that matter or not."
Old Yuan was thinking about this and walked quickly.
After a while, the grandfather and grandson arrived at the inn.
Yuan Hua and his wife were cleaning up the tea shed, and Yang Dalian and Tao Dongping were helping.
As soon as Old Yuan arrived, he went to Yuan Hua and asked him: "Okay, what did you say before? Did you hear the good news when you went back yesterday?"
Song Qiu saw how anxious her mother was and smiled, instead of joining in the fun, she walked towards the inn.
Mrs. Wang and Mrs. Li were busy in the kitchen. It didn't look like they were cooking their own meals, which were boiled fish and hot fried pork intestines with pickled peppers and yellow spicy dices. It didn't look like Yang either.
Master, they need to have food to eat.
When Song Qiu asked, he found out that there were new guests staying here today, the ones who had just moved in first.
At this moment, I am just preparing dinner for the guests.
No wonder, she said it looked like there were a few more horses outside the stable.
Song Qiu rolled up his sleeves to help, cooking dinner for Mr. Yang to send to him. After finishing his work, he could eat well at home.
Outside, Yuan Hua heard his aunt asking, so he put down what he was doing and asked Old Yuan to sit down. He smiled and said, "It's done! I heard what my aunt said when I went back yesterday, and so did we.
So happy for Daping!"
"Although she's a little far away, that girl is really good. It's Daping's fate. He is the eldest, and his marriage is settled. The others below can also talk about it. My father was so happy yesterday.
I drank two more sips of wine!"
"You also specifically asked me to give you a message for my aunt. The girl's side has decided to look after the house on the second day of the winter. My aunt must come to help her on that day!"
