Shi Gui went back and thought about it all night, she and Qiu Niang really didn't talk about Shi Daddy, speaking of Yu Pozi, the mother and daughter gritted their teeth, but they always avoided Shi Daddy, she didn't want to expose Qiu Niang's scars, and she didn't want to embarrass Qiu Niang.

Thinking deeply, if it weren't for him, why would Qiu Niang be so bitter, the good life in Lanxi Village is like Yu Pozi's spicy goods, followed by those women who are called to tie men to the waistband of their trousers, and then there are those who are not stingy, the old lady and daughter-in-law don't listen, and it is useless for the two women to pinch it, but they can get along peacefully, but Qiu Niang is obedient to everything and thinks about her husband, so that her mother-in-law has no good life.

Shi Gui didn't talk about it, he was thinking that there would be no Yu Pozi, and when Shi Dad came, the family of four spent the day peacefully, and there was no such person among the husband and wife, and the misfortune was gone, and there was only love left.

Shi Gui didn't want to pick it off and said that Qiu Niang had been covering this sore for 20 years, and it was bleeding and pus when she touched it, and she saw that this sore was about to grow, not to mention that she had to cut it with a knife, which made Qiu Niang feel heartache and heartache.

But now it's different, when Daddy Shi comes over, she has to plan for the worst, and the persecution of honest people is no different from the screwdriver who takes a knife to his neck and looks for death and life. Shi Gui doesn't have to think about it to know, it's nothing more than that it is not easy for Mrs. Yu to bring him up, it turns out that he has been bullied in the village, and he was not such a character in the past.

Mrs. Yu was still called Mrs. Yu at that time, her son was two or three years old, her husband died, she could also throw down her son to remarry, two or three-year-old children, no one in the village was willing to want them, no one had children, and those who died could still be thrown in the clan no matter how bad they were, let him take turns to eat at several families, marry out and live again, and take care of the life and death of the one in front.

But the matchmaker went to the door a few times, but Yu Niangzi didn't want to, and there were also unclean people in the village who came to her door, knocked on the door and went in and sat on the bed, looking at him with a smile, saying that the bed in the Shi family was comfortable, and it might be more comfortable to lie down.

Yu Niangzi took a kitchen knife and chopped it on the bedpost, the man was startled, he didn't think that such a widow and young lady would have such courage to escape from the door, Yu Niangzi simply became spicy from then on, but no one dared to provoke her, this time it was thirty or forty years, longer than her Chenguang as a little daughter-in-law, and her temperament has long been unable to change.

Because she has suffered, she turned her head and inflicted these hardships on others, and she was happy when she saw Qiu Niang's hard work, it turned out that she was small and couldn't protect Qiu Niang, and now she will no longer let those two bully the door.

If Mrs. Yu tosses again, Qiu Niang will not be sad, but with a stone father, it will be different, Shi Gui thought that the only time Qiu Niang has been tough in these years is that Yu Pozi wants to sell her as a child daughter-in-law, and she can't even persuade her back with a stone, and she almost took the child back to her parents' house.

Mrs. Yu was at that time, a little more restrained, it was Shi Gui's heart that softened, and the reason for her soft-heartedness was the same as Qiu Niang's, if she pretended to be ignorant at that time, maybe Qiu Niang would have stood up.

She turned over, opened the screen window in the summer night to breathe, it was still so hot that people were sweating, Shi Gui simply sat up, and was stunned at the crescent moon at the window, she was reluctant to let Qiu Niang be sad, so she asked Shi Dad to stab this knife, it was better for her to slowly cut the sore, it was painful, and it would always grow new meat.

Bao Zhi came over early the next morning, saying that he had found a few houses, go to see them first, and then negotiate the price, Qiu Niang Green Calyx packed up her things and wanted to go to the restaurant to help, Shi Gui grabbed Qiu Niang: "Buying a house is such a big thing, my mother also has to go and see, let's pick some good ones first, and then take Green Calyx Xizi to see." ”

Lu Calyx knew about it, and also helped Shi Gui speak: "In the end, it is such a big thing as buying a house, one more person will have one more idea, godmother, I am in the restaurant." ”

In the year of Qiu Niang's reunion with her daughter, Shi Gui was in charge of everything, and she didn't have to worry about it, and she did have a way to make money, so she became a handsetter, and when she heard Shi Gui ask her to go to see the house, she actually excused herself: "You must see your house." ”

Shi Gui took her arm: "Where do I know this, I haven't seen a house in the countryside, my mother helped me in the ancestral hall, there are always some doorways, I go to my own house, what should I do?"

Shi Gui thought about it all night, and felt that he was too strong, and he couldn't wait to open his hand to protect Qiu Niang Xizi and the green calyx under him, feeling that his mother and brother had suffered hardship, hating his powerlessness at that time, and when he could do something, he wanted to do it all for them, Qiu Niang no longer worked hard, and his younger brother was no longer afraid, so that they could live a stable life.

But now this is not possible, Qiu Niang has to go out to listen and watch more, and then she can think more, she has come to Suizhou, and she can always be reborn, and when Shi Dad comes to the door with Yu Pozi, Qiu Niang will make her own ideas.

Shi Dad's guilt compensation is persecution, isn't his fierce antipathy to Qiu Niang persecuted? Let Qiu Niang make decisions based on the preferences of her children, the same is forcing her to make her sacrifice, Shi Gui doesn't want her to sacrifice.

Qiu Niang's face was red when she heard this, and the days when Yu Pozi was helping in the ancestral hall were her happiest time, she was able to take the vegetables back and work with several village ladies, who did not praise her for her fast hands and feet, and waited for Yu Pozi, and she didn't praise her for getting along with anyone.

It's just a few days like this a year, and it's late to go back, and Mrs. Yu wants to scold her, even if she is scolded, she is also happy, Shi Gui wants to take her out, so she nodded: "You really see less, I'll follow you to see if it's good or not, or you have an idea." ”

Shi Gui crisply responded, and the two followed Bao Zhi out, Bao Zhi told them that they had a total of three rooms, one in the back street of Clock Street, the owner turned out to be a watch maker, and the things he made could be turned and sung and could be resounded, and when he was old, he sold the house and went back to his hometown.

There is also a raw silk merchant who has made a fortune in Suizhou, and he also wants to return to his hometown, return to his roots, and bring back enough money to buy a house, Shi Gui listened to these two, but frowned a little, and then he was about to speak and pressed again: "What does my mother think?"

Qiu Niang originally only listened to her daughter's idea, Shi Gui asked, but stopped her, Shi Gui was not in a hurry, and when she thought about it slowly, after thinking about it, Qiu Niang opened her mouth and whispered to Shi Gui: "We don't have so much cash in our hands, these two are in a hurry to leave." ”

Shi Gui laughed: "What my mother said is that we originally planned to give the money in three or four times, and we were in a hurry to leave, and we couldn't raise so much for a while." "But the people who want to leave also have benefits, the furniture can't be taken away, and they can't sell it for a while, but they can take it at a discount.

Bao Zhi laughed: "My father knows, although these two families are leaving, they also have some side items to sell, and they can wait for a month or two." "Take them forward, a street is also prosperous, turn out is a clock hall, and at the hour a street is ringing.

But after turning two corners, it was very quiet inside, Bao Zhi's father was already waiting by the black lacquer high door, and when he opened the door and went in, it was a narrow path, and there was a brick carved rich peony at the door.

The narrow alley turned into the Yimen, set up a flower shelf, and there were some vines on it, and after the wisteria flowering period, only some purple was seen sporadically, a row of three rooms, the place was spacious and bright, and there were wide eaves to shelter from the rain, and the ground also dug a drainage ditch.

There are not many houses, there is only a table and two benches in the hall, and there are two chairs, the window paper is broken, there are no fish swimming in the water tank, there is some green moss, and it is obvious that it has been uninhabited for a long time.

In addition to the side rooms on the left and right sides of the main hall, there are four rooms on both sides, the size is appropriate, I think Baozhi's father came to find the house according to the head, Shi Gui looked at the house is good, although the furniture is small, it can also suppress the price, for example, there has been no one living in this place for a long time, the drainage ditch must be passed, the window frame must be repaired, the roof must be cleared, the well is connected, everything is live, the owner refuses to do it, so he has to press the price down.

Qiu Niang looked at it and liked it very much, Shi Gui didn't speak for a long time, she opened her mouth, and asked the price first, this house is upright, the place is not biased, there is a vegetable market when you go out, the price is not low, Baozhi's father smiled: "I have measured, more than half an acre, the land price is calculated according to half an acre, and that one point is allowed." ”

Qiu Niang asked the price, feeling a little worried, Baozhi's father said: "Such a house, if it weren't for the owner to return to his hometown, several big houses would have been sold, and these small ones would have to be more expensive." ”

One hundred and fifty taels, even the house with the yard, Qiu Niang was not sure about the price, Shi Gui pulled her: "Mother, you pick on the bad, this house is upside down according to my opinion." ”

Bao Zhi's father said that the other fish market is next to the wharf, that place is too messy and messy, this is closer to the private school where Xizi studied, raise some flowers, and then build the two narrow flower stands wider, the kitchen is still separated from the house, clean and bright, the eaves of the hall are still wide, and you can carry a cool bed out at night to enjoy the cool.

Qiu Niang is a person who lives a life, turn around, originally thought that he could make up for it, all picked out, the stove window is too small to open another window, the shade on the wall has to be cleaned up, the window frame to replenish the ditch to pass, and you have to find a well digger, the stagnant water in the well is cleaned, and there are many days for it to come out of the water.

The roof may not be repaired, everywhere to see, whether there are ants and insects, how to get twenty taels of silver, the main thing is to do well, according to the original price, if you can't do it, you will spare some.

"If it weren't for my mother thinking about the well, I wouldn't have thought about this, and there are insects and ants, it's terrible to eat wood, I have to invite someone to take a good look, Suizhou is rainy, it's really a worm, we can't buy it." The two sang and harmonized, and in front of Baozhi's father, they picked out a lot of thorns in the economy that sold the house.

The lowest price originally given by the owner of the house was one hundred and twenty taels, and then one was pressed and then lifted, from one hundred and fifty taels to one hundred and twenty-eight, and the economy wrote the deed, Shi Gui took it to look at it, and then knew that she was literate, Shi Gui said: "Let's pay the money first, and pay off the house in two installments." ”

Qiu Niang was worried when she heard this, she was afraid that she would not be able to take out so much for a while, it turned out that in Lanxi, she only earned four or five taels of silver after working hard all year round, and she had to take out a hundred taels in one go, and her heart was pounding.

Shi Gui arrived at the deed and pulled Qiu Niang's signature, Qiu Niang shrank her hands and feet, and couldn't press the handprint: "This is your house, how can I press the handprint." ”

Shi Gui pulled her: "My parents have no selfish property in the hall. "That's what I said, but the things are different below, Xizi is not an adult, and she is a daughter's family, so I'm afraid that Mrs. Yu will come to make trouble.

The first time Qiu Niang did such a big thing, her handprint was pressed, her heart was still shaking, and she pulled Shi Gui: "Can we pay for this money?" Shi Gui patted her: "What is this, we have to do something bigger." ”
