Chapter 228: The Matter of the Co-wife
The April sun was very warm, Su Qiqi sat in the yard and watched Ji Wenchen set up a drying rack in the outer yard, and suddenly Ji Qiuju walked in with the child in her arms: "Qiqi, what are you busy with?" ”
Su Qiqi beckoned to the little pillar in her arms: "Little pillar, call my aunt to listen!" ”
The two-year-old little pillar struggled to get off the ground and ran towards Ji Wenchen's shelf, ignoring the two crooked women, Su Qiqi glared at his swaying little body and said angrily: "Little pillar stinky fart!" Ignore such a lame person? I'll see if my aunt will give you something delicious! ”
Ji Qiuju looked at Su Qiqi, who was messing with her son, and said helplessly: "Qiqi, you let him call him aunt, and eldest brother let him call aunt, what do you say his name is?" So he didn't bother to call at all! ”
It's really hard to sort out the relationship.
Su Qiqi said hatefully: "Young man with no conscience, I don't want to see which one gives you more to eat!" Sister Ju, is my brother-in-law's sundeck tied? ”
Ji Qiuju heard her cousin mention the Xu family, and she said irritably: "Qiqi, Sister Ju has something to tell you, you can give me an idea!" ”
Su Qiqi immediately asked: "Tell me what it is, if I can come up with an idea, I will definitely come up." ”
Ji Qiuju said angrily: "Qiqi, you said that your father-in-law and mother-in-law don't know what to think, but yesterday my mother-in-law actually proposed it and asked me to do it with the third child of the Xu family..."
Su Qiqi was so surprised that his eyes fell out: "You mean, they let their brother-in-law and brother share a wife?" ”
Ji Qiuju covered Su Qiqi's mouth and said eagerly: "Qiqi, you speak softly!" This is not a good thing, and when the eldest brother finds out, he will have to find out about Brother Lu! ”
Su Qiqi hurriedly lowered his voice and asked, "Then what do you mean?" And what does brother-in-law mean? ”
Ji Qiuju said angrily: "I'm not a sow, I specially passed on to their Xu family!" Brother Lu entered the room last night and hasn't eaten until now! I knew he was feeling uncomfortable, but he didn't dare to resist his father's decision! ”
Su Qiqi said understandingly: "How many of these men will give up their daughter-in-law to others?" Why don't you help the third child of the Xu family go to the mountains to buy a daughter-in-law to come in? ”
Ji Qiuju lowered her head sadly and said, "Qiqi, although my life has been a little better with you in the past two years, there are many people who eat at home and few people who work!" I didn't go out to earn money last year and next year, how much more can I get? Go outside the mountain to buy a daughter-in-law, as long as it looks good, there are no twenty taels, where can you buy it! ”
Su Qiqi looked at Ji Qiuju's sad appearance and asked, "Sister Ju, what do you think yourself?" ”
Ji Qiuju remembered Xu Lu's low and speechless appearance, and the appearance of a big man who wanted to cry, and her heart was panicked: "Qiqi, which real woman from a good family is willing to live that kind of life like a pig and a dog, venting to a man?" ”
Su Qiqi patted her back and said, "Sister Ju, don't be sad. I still have some silver here, take twenty taels, and ask my brother-in-law to go outside the mountain to find a daughter-in-law for Third Brother Xu. This year, the bamboo shoots are out of the mountain, and the days will be much better! Isn't everyone helping us cut bamboo and build factories during this time? Why don't I pay you now?" ”
Ji Qiuju finally cried: "Qiqi, you are all double, it is the time to use silver, so much silver was given to me, so what should you and the eldest brother do?" ”
She still has no money?
In order to be quieter, they kept a low profile after returning to the mountains, and Su Qiqi asked Ji Wenchen to give Ji Second Uncle fifty taels of silver on the first day of returning to the mountains. But Ji Qiuju is a married daughter, so she only gives the child a meeting gift of five taels of silver.
Hearing that his cousin was still worried about himself, Su Qiqi smiled a little guilty and said, "Isn't your eldest brother earning money?" The factory under our mountain is in partnership with nobles, and the silver is all produced by nobles, so I don't need to worry about the silver. Also, this silver is not for you, and with the silver in the future, you and your brother-in-law will slowly pay it back! ”
What debt is the hardest to repay? That's a debt of affection.
So Su Qiqi didn't say that he would send the silver to Ji Qiuju, and that he didn't set a date for repaying it if he lent it to her, so she wouldn't be under much pressure in her heart. She knew that although her cousin was unwilling to marry Xu Lu's nerd back then, in the past few years, Xu Lu's love for her has always been happy as her cousin.
There are many brothers in the cottage who share wives, and Su Chunmei is also married to the three Liu brothers.
But it is impossible for a truly affectionate couple to be intervened by outsiders.
Saying that, Su Qiqi got up and went to the house, took out two ingots of silver and ten taels of silver, handed it to Ji Qiuju and said, "Sister Ju, let my brother-in-law take it out when he takes a fancy to someone after he goes down the mountain." ”
Ji Wenchen also understood a lot from afar, and seeing that his cousin didn't dare to answer, he came over and hugged his little nephew and said, "Sister Ju, come on, Qiqi really wants to help you." This bit of silver, the eldest brother still has it, don't have any burden. ”
Since the eldest brother has said so, Ji Qiuju is indeed in need.
So she took a piece of silver and said, "I only need one ingot, and I still have some silver at home, and my mother also gave three taels, which is almost enough!" ”
Su Qiqi stuffed it into her hand and said, "Take it, Sister Ju, if you really use the money in the family to the point that there is no money left, it will take two or three months to get out of the mountain, and the family will not be able to live!" You can return the aunt's silver, and the third cousin will have to find a daughter-in-law! ”
That's true, it takes at least half a year to make paper, and then the wages can be stable. Ji Wenchen had already made a noise in the village, saying that the mountain owner was going to make a living at the foot of the mountain, and he would use people for a long time in the future. He also said that there are 200 acres of land under the mountain, and next year he will subcontract it to the people in the village, and if everyone is willing to live under the mountain, he will let everyone have a field to plant, and will also build a house for everyone in the plots.
There are many people in the cottage who are ready to dig bamboo shoots, cut tender bamboo, do small work, and save more silver, so that they can build houses and build houses under the mountain.
The reason why it was decided to give the field to the people in the village next year is that I don't know if they are willing to go down the mountain, and second, I don't know what the future of this paper factory will be, so this year Su Qiqi and Ji Wenchen are still living in the village. However, she was going to go to Shuangxiong Village when she was born, and Aunt Su had already prepared everything for her.
After listening to the words of the little cousin, Ji Qiuju wiped her tears and took the little pillar and said, "Qiqi, big brother, Ju thank you!" ”
Ji Wenchen smiled and said, "Go ahead!" Don't thank you, I'm your brother, Qiqi is your sister, if you say thank you, it's a stranger, just let Xu Lu drink with me twice in the future! ”
Su Qiqi glared at him: "Why didn't I know that you would become a drunkard!" ”
Ji Wenchen waited for his cousin to go out before he fell into her ear and said ambiguously: "Senior brother's seeds don't need it for a while, I'll drink it a few times!" When our son is born, my brother will quit! ”
A call made Su Qiqi's neck red: "Isn't the stallion reincarnated?" ”
