Chapter 10
Liu Wenzhen was so angry that she gave Aunt Liu a hard look: "Mom, you are so stupid. You can be caught picking a vegetable, and you lost a tael of silver. How much can our family buy with these two silvers? In the end you just In exchange for this basket of broken vegetables."
Liu Wenzhen is seventeen years old this year and has reached the age of getting married. In order to keep the white skin on her face, as long as there is sunshine, she never goes to work in the fields. The fourth aunt was exactly the same bitter and mean.
A seventeen-year-old girl is just at the age when she is good at dressing up. She has begged her mother so many times, but her mother refuses to dress her up in fashionable clothes, and she never even wears a beautiful head flower. The family saves food and money. , plus the money swindled from Yuan Qiu, was used for elder brother Liu Wenxuan's study and for Jiang Chunyan's employment. I'm not at all worth it, and I don't know if my mother will arrange for her decently dowry.
Thinking of this, she felt sorry for the tael of silver even more, turned to look at Liu Wenxuan, and said, "Brother, Xia Yuanqiu listens to you in everything, go to her house and ask her to return the tael of silver."
When Fourth Aunt Liu heard it, she suddenly felt that it was a good idea, and she definitely didn't want to go back. If Wenxuan went, she might be able to go back.
Liu Wenxuan glanced at his mother and sister, and said displeasedly: "You guys can figure it out, I'm going to be engaged to Chunyan tomorrow, and I'm going to Xia Yuanqiu's house today, if people see me, what should they say about me? Let Chunyan What do you miss me?"
Fourth Aunt Liu slapped her head: "Yes, yes, yes, I forgot about this, and we are about to get married, so we can't spread anything bad, Wenxuan can't go."
"But our family's money can be cheap for Xia Yuanqiu? What is she, why spend our family's money?" Liu Wenzhen yelled unhappily.
Aunt Li next door was drying clothes in the yard. Hearing the conversation of the three members of this family, she couldn't laugh or cry. How come Xia Yuanqiu is not qualified to spend their family's money after becoming a human? Is it natural for them to spend the money that Xia Yuanqiu picked out from between his teeth? Look at the Xia Yuanqiu siblings, they have lost their parents a long time ago, they have an uncle and a third uncle, but they are no different, they even go to other people's houses from time to time to hunt them down in the autumn wind, it's really pitiful to see those two children so thin Yes, why are there so many shameless people.
Before it was dark, Yuan Qiu started to make dinner. On the small earthen stove, a small medicine pot was used to boil sweet potato porridge. Yuan Hao watched the fire, and in the big stove, dried fish was stewed. The sesame oil that I can't bear to use is so fragrant.
Yuan Hao salivated when he smelled the alluring fragrance, and from time to time he leaned over the stove and took a deep breath, as if smelling it was also the most beautiful thing in the world.
Seeing his gluttonous appearance, Xia Yuanqiu grinned from ear to ear, rejoicing that in his previous life, in order not to eat gutter oil outside, he taught himself a good cooking skill, which can also come in handy here.
"Yo - what are you doing to make it delicious, look at this delicious food."
The annoying voice suddenly sounded, and the siblings frowned. The aunt always went to the Three Treasures Store for nothing, so it might be nothing good to come here now.
Lin walked from the courtyard gate to the simple kitchen, smelled the smell coming out of the pot, swallowed hard, squeezed out a smile and said, "Yuan Qiu, what are you doing delicious? It smells weird. It smells good." Lin's greedy eyes stared at the big stove that kept emitting aroma, but unfortunately she couldn't see anything when the pot was covered.
