Chapter 179
Drama Queen
Qian is a person who still has charm.
Although she is old and about the same age as Lu, her condition is much better than that of Lu. Not to mention her fair skin, one can vaguely tell from her facial features that she was a handsome beauty when she was young.
Knowing that it was about Lu, Qian asked her daughter to welcome Yun Xuemei into the courtyard.
The Qian family's small courtyard is very small. Although it has adobe walls, which are better than fence walls, it is very small inside.
Qian's daughter cleaned the kang, brought a pot of hot water, and then quietly left the upper room to go to work.
Mentioning the old woman surnamed Lu, Mrs. Qian became a little angry. She snorted and curled her lips: "What kind of monster is that old immortal doing?"
Yun Xuemei asked straight to the point: "I heard that she once had a problem with you. Is that true?"
Mrs. Qian chuckled, picked up the kettle on the Kang table and poured a bowl of boiled water for Yun Xuemei. She tried her best not to look at the shining gold leaf on the table and said, "Old girl, you don't have to beat around the bush to ask.
.I know you want to give it to that old immortal
She is looking for trouble. Although she robbed me of a good marriage back then, it has been decades since then. What kind of hatred can I never forget for decades? I still have a son to marry and a daughter to marry, and I just want to
You can live a peaceful life farming without taking any risks!"
"It's not like you're in danger." Yun Xuemei took the boiled water and blew it, but was not in a hurry to drink it. She wrote lightly, "I just asked you to go to the Yamen to be a witness and give a testimony. What should I say? How should I say it?
I will teach you everything."
Qian's eyes suddenly widened and he asked as if in disbelief: "Testimony? Is the person named Lu in jail?"
"Yes." Yun Xuemei was noncommittal. She tapped the gold leaf on the table and said, "This gold leaf is ten pieces and can be exchanged in all major pawnshops in Xuan Tang. If you agree, I will give this to you now.
, after everything is done, I will give you another one like this. What do you think?"
"Ahem." Qian almost choked on her own saliva.
Twenty strings!
What a generous gesture!
In this way, she could offer five guan as a bride price, find an honest and capable farmer's daughter for her son, and then offer another five guan to marry her daughter off to an honest farmer. The remaining money would be enough to provide enough food and clothing for her family for more than half a year.
Qian was already a little too reserved, but she still held on to her last bit of dignity, cleared her throat, and said, "Okay, I promise you. Tell me, what kind of testimony do you want me to prove?"
Yun Xuemei looked at Mr. Qian with a pair of beautiful eyes, half-smiling but not smiling, and asked, "Can you promise not to expose your secrets in court? It's not easy to fool someone in the county government office."
At this moment, Mrs. Qian wished that she could get these twenty coins now, so she slapped her chest and said confidently: "My dear sister, just keep your heart in your heart! It's useless to make life difficult for the old woman named Lu."
There is no one in Hecun who is better at this than me!"
Yun Xuemei then briefly explained the matter.
After hearing this, Mrs. Qian immediately burst into tears and said with great sorrow: "What a sin, this eldest daughter of the Qiao family is suffering a miserable life. I told her that she could not live for more than a few days when she fell into the hands of Mrs. Lu. After all, she has been crying for so many years."
Grandma, how could this old godly woman be so cruel and do this?
A thunderstorm is coming! Fortunately, Da Ya met a kind-hearted person like you. This is her good fortune. Maybe God took pity on her and ended up with such a stepmother, so he was merciful to her! She can be safe and sound.
Even if a girl from the Zhen family dies, she can rest in peace..."
She cried out in grief one after another, as if she was the one being persecuted by Lu. She was so sincere and sincere that those who didn't know thought she was really crying for Qiao Yun!
Yun Xuemei was a little stunned.
This woman's tears come at the drop of a hat, her emotions reach her point so quickly, it would be a pity not to act!
He just used a little too much force, but he is indeed a drama queen!
Yun Xuemei stopped Qian from crying and started to finalize some details with her, such as how she should answer when the county magistrate asked something.
The two people were slowly deliberating here, and Li had already reached the county town.
She didn't see Mrs. Lu and Qiao Zaohua coming back during the whole journey, so she felt a little guilty.
Does your mother still plan to stay at Lao San’s house for three to five days?
What about the work in the fields?
Farming is too busy these days, and there is not enough manpower at home. Qiao Zaohua also has to go to the fields. Did she persuade her mother to live with the third child just to avoid being lazy?
Thinking of this, Mrs. Li couldn't help but feel a little angry.
The family just points to the few acres of thin fields for food, and doesn't plow the ground quickly before planting seeds. How can we sow the grain seeds when they are distributed? Spring plowing is the first important thing for farmers, why is Qiao Zaohua so unruly?
You know the current affairs and only care about your own benefit! If you don’t work hard now, you will be hungry again in the next year!
With a feeling of complaint, Mrs. Li knocked on Qiao Hua's door.
Qiao Hua is in the academy right now! There is only one Zheng and Qiao Yonghao who is over two years old at home. She is mending clothes in the house. When she heard the rapid knock on the door, she couldn't help but feel a little scared.
She found a pair of scissors from the sewing basket, held it in her hand, and asked loudly: "Who is outside?"
"Brothers and sisters, it's me!"
Hearing the familiar voice, Ms. Zheng put down the scissors in her hand and went to open the door.
"Why is the second sister-in-law here at this time? Are you here alone?" Mrs. Zheng looked behind her when she welcomed her into the yard. There was no one else.
That's even more strange. Mrs. Li is not willing to come and walk with her easily. What's the reason for coming to the door at this time?
As Mrs. Li walked towards the yard, she complained: "Brother and sister, you are too obedient to your mother. She wanted to see the third child, but she was not allowed to see her. But the fields are so busy now, and she even brought her sister-in-law with her.
If she is lazy in the county town, you should persuade her! She will listen to you!"
Mrs. Zheng was confused: "Second sister-in-law, what are you talking about? Why don't I understand?"
Mrs. Li was dissatisfied, why are these siblings still pretending to be confused? She said: "Mother came to the market yesterday and didn't go back at night. Didn't she stay at your place?"
"Mother came to the county town yesterday?" Mrs. Zheng was obviously very surprised and opened her mouth, "But... mother didn't come here!"
Ms. Li was also stunned. After a while, her expression changed from resentment to horror.
"Mother and sister-in-law, two such big people, got lost?"
When they heard this, neither Li nor Zheng wanted to believe it. There was only one road from Baihe Village to the county seat, and an old man and a young man had gone to the market more than a dozen times. How could they get lost?
Being abducted? But what does the kidnapper do to kidnap an old woman? Even if there is Qiao Zaohua, kidnappers don’t kidnap people who are good-looking, weak and easy to control, then Qiao Zaohua is a round ball, kidnapping picture
What? To make her look ugly?
Although the world now regards fat as beautiful, what is important is plumpness and dexterity, a healthy body as opposed to a weak body, not a pile of flesh!
Mrs. Li and Mrs. Zheng looked at each other, and Mrs. Zheng immediately made a decision: "This matter must be reported to the official! In such a big county, there are actually kidnappers who even kidnap old ladies. The world is declining!"
Ms. Li was still a little afraid of meeting an official, so she forced a smile: "But Hao'er can't be alone at home. My brothers and sisters, why don't I stay and watch Hao'er..."
Zheng said: "Second sister-in-law, don't be afraid. We are going to report to the official, not to see the official if we have committed a crime. We are open-minded, so why should we be afraid?"
Li Shixin said that she was not at all frank.
The bowl of sweat medicine that Qiao Yun drank was added to her porridge herself!
