Two days later, Zhengyuan went to a large family in the town to do a short-term job, and the salary was good, forty-five yuan a day.

There is still a month and a half for the New Year, and he can earn almost two taels of silver. He thought about it, he must pull a set of clothes for Qiuhua during the New Year, and then pull a few pieces of broken silk to make a belly pocket for the child in her belly.

After leaving, Autumn Flower went to the river to wash clothes as usual. I heard people talking about it, roughly saying how Chunquan fell in love with Hui'er Niang, and said that he learned the emperor in the opera, and built a house for Hui Er Niang because he wanted to hide the golden house, etc., and more good people came directly to ask Qiuhua, whether his brother would take Hui Er Niang, when he would take it, whether he would dislike her and not inherit the lineage, etc

Qiuhua's face turned red and white when she heard this. I didn't bother to do laundry, so I took the basket and walked home.

"These people really dare to spread everything, my brother just looks at other people's orphans and widows, and can't help but help. ”

"Autumn Flower" only walked a few steps before she was stopped by her best friend Li Cuiyun. Li Cuiyun is Li Shude's cousin, two years younger than Qiuhua, and has long reached the age of discussing relatives. The family told her several family affairs, but she found excuses to push it off, because she already had a sweetheart.

"Autumn Flower, why don't you come to me anymore. She looked at the autumn flowers sadly.

Qiuhua smiled, "How can I have time to play all day now, unlike you." ”

Cuiyun said, "You have changed a lot when you get married, you used to be skinier than me, but now you look at it." ”

"I have a baby, how can I still be like before!" Qiuhua subconsciously stroked her belly.

Cuiyun went to visit relatives a while ago, and it didn't take long to come back, so she didn't know about Qiuhua's pregnancy.

"Ah, really, I envy you," Cuiyun said in surprise.

"Hurry up and pick one. Don't delay yourself. Qiuhua smiled and persuaded.

"Actually, I went to my relatives this time to see each other, and the other party's people are very good, but I haven't made up my mind yet. Cuiyun hesitated and said this.

"If it's good, you can get married, my brother said that his marriage has to be decided by his master" Qiuhua naturally knew what she was thinking, Zhengse said.

"However, his master didn't take his affairs at ease, and after so many years, he didn't show him any more than anyone else! I thought that if he really got married, I would be willing to marry. Cuiyun said aggrievedly.

"Oh, why bother. Autumn Flower squeezed her hand and comforted her. In fact, she also wants Cuiyun to be her sister-in-law, and Qiuhua also has complaints about her brother's irresponsible master. A boy of the same age as his brother, which is not a child running all over the ground.

"Autumn flowers, I came back and heard some rumors, I don't know if it's true. Does Brother Chun Quan really like that Qin family?" When she heard these rumors, she was not angry in her heart, how could the woman with the child and the divorce be worthy of Brother Chun Quan.

"Don't listen to other people's rumors, my brother is a poor family, so he can help. "Autumn flowers are in color.

"Yes, Brother Chunquan is narrow-minded, and he looks at the pity of other orphans and widows. Cuiyun heard Qiuhua say this, and her heart felt a lot better, "Besides, if Brother Chun Quan really likes that Qin family, how will you behave in the village in the future?" Brother Chun Quan will not embarrass you. ”

The younger sister asked the family to marry into the Zhang family, but the elder brother married the woman who divorced soon after. No matter how you look at this, it makes people think about it, and it attracts people's handles, and the good deeds don't know what kind of version will be passed out!

Besides, Shumin and Li at that time, the two brothers and sisters did make a lot of effort from it. The person pretending to be a Taoist priest is a brother in Chunquan Town, if this matter is found out by the good deeds, I don't know what kind of turmoil it will cause!

Thinking of this, Qiuhua suddenly had some bad premonitions, she hurriedly said goodbye to Cuiyun and returned home to lie on the bed.

Zhang Li saw Qiuhua go to wash the clothes, and came back without washing the clothes, lying on the bed with a bad face, thinking that she was uncomfortable, so he let her lie down. Carrying the rest of the clothes, I went to the river again.

Soon, her face changed. Because what she heard was not only whether Chunquan had a crush on Shumin, but also about him and Zhengyuan fighting on the path.

"How could Chunquan fall in love with that broom star! You have nothing to do when you are full, and you always want to slander our old Zhang family. Beware of rotten mouths and bad tongues! Black-hearted fellows won't be able to see our family!"

She is not an autumn flower, and after hearing a few words, her temper came up, and she pointed to a few women and sprayed wildly.

It's not a glorious thing to chew on the root of people's tongues, and those women must have shut up.

After washing the clothes, she returned home angrily, pulled up the autumn flowers and fell them for a while

"You're really useless. A couple of long-tongued women just got angry with you and lay down? I don't know how to scold you back!"

"Mother, don't I care about them. "Autumn flowers are sneering. She is a daughter-in-law who has just married, and her generation is one section shorter than others, where can she dare to scold people in public. Then the old Zhang family's face will be lost.

However, she also heard the concern in Zhang Li's tone, so she said with some coquettishness.

"Alright, you go to your brother's after dinner and ask what is going on. Let him be more evasive if he should be avoided. She would never believe that Chun Quan would like that broom star. Chunquan is such an excellent person, at least it must be matched with a yellow flower girl.

"Hey, I'll go after dinner. Qiuhua also had this intention, and hurriedly agreed.

After eating, Qiuhua went to Chunquan. Chunquan was digging wood in the yard, and the two children were taking a nap. Shumin said that children's naps help them grow physically, so she gradually let the children develop the habit of napping.

"Brother, how did you dig up the wood, what kind of furniture are you going to make?" she recognized that the wood was a fine nanmu, which had been cut in the mountains when she was making a dowry for herself.

"Well, why are you here?" he wanted to make a dresser for Shumin, but he didn't dare to tell Sister Sù, so he said a word.

"Brother, do you know that there are many rumors in the village now?" Qiuhua found a stool and sat down, watching him cut wood. It's the same as before.

"What rumors?" asked Chunquan curiously. He is a big man, so naturally he will not be in the company of those long-tongued women, and naturally he has not heard any rumors.

"Brother, what kind of person do you think the Qin family is. Qiuhua didn't answer directly, but tried him in a different way.

Chunquan stopped what he was doing, looked at her suspiciously, and asked, "Why did you ask this suddenly." ”

"I'll just ask. Qiuhua said: "You can just talk about it." ”

"A nice guy. Chunquan did not doubt that he had him, and replied.

"That's it?" said Akika in surprise. "What a good way. ”

"Well, I can't tell. Chunquan began to recall Shumin, his face was shining inexplicably, and Qiuhua felt a little alert in his heart.

"Then tell me what's wrong with her. "Autumn flowers don't give up. Stared at Chunquan's face tightly, for fear that something was missing.

"There are a lot of bad places. She eats very slowly, and she always falls out. As soon as the old hen in her house saw her carrying a bowl, she ran to her feet to pick up food to eat; she still lacked heart, and she didn't know how to repair the stool with only three legs left, and said that the three legs couldn't be broken, don't you say funny? The cooking is not delicious, the cooked tofu is all broken, especially the pancakes she makes, you don't know, each one looks different, if you give them a name, you won't be mistaken"

The more he spoke, the worse Qiuhua's face became, but he hadn't noticed it yet, and kept talking. Their brother and sister depend on each other, and their relationship is better than that of ordinary brothers and sisters, and they have nothing to talk about. It's just that Qiuhua has been pregnant recently, and there are fewer opportunities to come home to meet him.

"Brother, when will your master come back, didn't he say that he had already arranged your marriage, wouldn't he forget about it? Autumn Flower interrupted him.

"It's coming. Hearing Qiuhua suddenly mention this, he felt a little weak. Back then, he saw that Cuiyun was interesting to him, and Qiuhua also wanted to match them, so he used the master as a pretense in a hurry.

"If your master forgets this, you have to remind him. Our family is still pointing to you to pass on the family lineage! ”

Qiuhua deliberately emphasized the succession and extinction, and the meaning could not be more obvious.

"Okay, it's been a while since you came out, and don't walk around with a big belly. Chunquan understands that his sister is reminding herself.

"Then I'll go back. If your irresponsible master comes back, don't forget to remind him that children your age can run away. Autumn Flower told again, and then left.

was so interrupted by the autumn flowers, he no longer had the interest in doing carpentry. He put away the tools and the wood.

"Uncle, let's go down and catch fish. It turned out that Feng An woke up, and he had a dream just now, and he caught a lot of fish in the dream, so he woke up and said to Chunquan.

"Okay, we'll go catch the fish later. Chunquan was worried now, and he didn't know how to solve it, so he agreed.

As soon as Hui'er heard that she was going to catch fish, she immediately got up from the bed, got dressed herself, and hurriedly ran out.

"Don't worry, I'll be waiting for you!" Seeing her impatient and hurried look, Chunquan smiled.

Qiuhua returned to Zhang's house, and she still felt very uncomfortable. She asked herself that she was a very generous person, and if her brother liked anyone else, even if it was a widow or an ugly woman, she would not say a word, and silently blessed her behind her back. But only the Qin clan can't. Not only because she is her husband's ex-wife, she can't have children, but also because they have played a dishonorable role in Zhengyuan's separation from her.

Anyone can, it can't be her, no. Qiuhua said secretly in her heart: Brother, you have to rely on me in this matter. Even if you do whatever it takes, I can't keep you together.
