Chapter 068: I'm Not Leaving
Your uncle's, Zhang Ci. Chen Qiuniang couldn't help but curse in a low voice, then walked to the rice shop next to her to buy rice, and went in to buy three liters of rice. Wu hugged herself out, and saw Jiang Hang walking towards her.
"Miss Chen." Jiang Hang bowed his hand and behaved politely, which must be a world of difference from Jiang Fan's. Ren Jianghang's bearing is elegant and his aura is powerful. On the other hand, Jiang Fan is simply a bear child and a ** teenager.
"Commander Jiang, are you here to buy rice?" Chen Qiuniang asked knowingly.
"It's not. It was the younger brother's master and sister who came to Zhang's mansion and wanted to see him. But the boy was so wild that he didn't know where he went. I heard that Miss Chen came to go shopping, and I came to look for you on the street, and I wanted to ask if I could see my third brother. Jiang Hang's voice was quiet, carrying a sword, but his demeanor was elegant.
Chen Qiuniang couldn't get up in front of him, she also said politely: "I saw Brother Ling in the hospital today, but after I came out of the hospital after visiting Chai Yu, Brother Ling disappeared, I heard Miss Sixth say that it was you who went to get him, and he ran away." ”
When Jiang Hang heard this, he couldn't help but sigh slightly, and arched his hand: "I'm sorry to disturb Miss Chen, if you see your brother, please tell him: Daddy is seriously ill, come and see Master quickly, and go to Bianjing together." ”
"Huh?" Chen Qiuniang was taken aback, and then felt rude and said, "I'm sorry, I was rude." Commander Jiang rest assured, if I see Brother Ling, I will persuade him. ”
"Then there will be work." Jiang Hang bowed to Chen Qiuniang again, instructed one of his subordinates to help Chen Qiuniang carry rice to Xizhenkou, and said that he would take someone to find Jiang Fan again, so he left with his subordinates.
Jiang Hangliu's subordinates are burly, tall and big, very strict, and very shy. As soon as Jiang Fan gave the order, he took the rice in Chen Qiuniang's hand and stood aside. When Jiang Fan left, he didn't say anything, just followed behind Chen Qiuniang, and followed suit.
Chen Qiuniang didn't pay attention to it, went straight to the place where the salt was sold, and exchanged the money for a small piece of salt. At this time and space, the purification of salt is not high, the technology is backward, the management rights are in the hands of the state, and what is on the market is a small part released by the state, and a small part of the circulation is given after supplying the palace dignitaries. Naturally, this salt is very expensive. After going back and forth, the broken silver particles obtained from selling the snake in Chen Qiuniang's hands and the part of the broken silver given by Zhang on her body last time were not much spent.
Money, it's really useless. Chen Qiuniang couldn't help sighing, seeing that it was not early, she went to Xizhenkou. The burly man behind him took a good step and helped her hold the rice a short distance.
The two walked one after the other, and as soon as they turned the corner, they saw Li Taohua coming over with her skirt, and when they saw Chen Qiuniang from a distance, they greeted her, and said with a smile: "Your third aunt just came to my house and told me about the divorce, and I was saying that I would find a time to talk to you, but I didn't expect such a coincidence." I said I would go to Mingxiangfang to get some incense powder, and I saw you after just a few steps. ”
Li Taohua looked calm, with a smile on her face, and when she came over, she grabbed Chen Qiuniang very affectionately and said, "Niece Xian, we met by chance, so let's go up to this teahouse and sit down, just to talk about it." ”
Chen Qiuniang was pulled by her, and couldn't help but be surprised, and then admired again. The memory of her first meeting with this Li Taohua was not pleasant, and even-for-tat, although now it is said that interests are supreme and cooperative relations. But this ripe intimacy of Li Peach Blossom seems to have never happened at all. This skill simply made her admire.
"It's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, Qiu Niang listens to Aunt Hua." Chen Qiuniang replied to Li Taohua with a smile, and then said to the man behind her, "Big brother, I still have some things here, just give me this rice, and you can go back to Commander Jiang to repay your life." ”
The man shook his head and said, "If the mission is not completed, how can I go back and resume my life." If Miss Chen has something to do, I'll wait here. ”
Chen Qiuniang saw that this man's appearance would not leave, so she simply said: "Then the eldest brother also went to the teahouse with me to sit, if you stand here, others will say that I have no courtesy." ”
"Miss Chen's words are serious, this is nothing, I will wait here." The man's expression and tone were very stubborn.
Chen Qiuniang was not reluctant, and Li Taohua entered the teahouse, which is an ordinary grade, covering a small area and simple decoration. And it's old-fashioned tea, which is the kind of boiled tea that is blended and eaten with the tea powder. Speaking of which, this kind of tea house is more similar to a modern dessert shop, snack bar or something, a few snacks, boiling a small pot of tea, and talking slowly.
Li Taohua is a regular customer in the store, and as soon as she entered, the shopkeeper greeted her warmly and asked, "Yo, Sister Hua, is it still an old place?" ”
"It's natural." Li Taohua pulled Chen Qiuniang to the window seat facing the street.
The shopkeeper smiled behind him and asked, "Do you still serve tea according to the old rules?" ”
"Let's not go to tea first, let's have two bowls of water, it's hot this day, and I'm thirsty." Li Taohua commanded.
Chen Qiuniang was originally not interested in eating tea, and she was even less interested in eating tea with someone she didn't like, so she didn't care about what Li Taohua ordered.
The shopkeeper responded to Li Taohua, but raised his eyes to Chen Qiuniang and said, "Sister Hua, this girl is less than an old age, aren't you afraid of lawsuits?" ”
"You don't have to break your mouth, this is my virtuous niece." Li Taohua's appearance is incomparably intimate.
Chen Qiuniang also nodded to the shopkeeper to prove Li Taohua's words, but the shopkeeper had a smile on his face, but his lips were sneering. is clearly saying: Since she is a virtuous niece, how can she order two bowls of white water.
Chen Qiuniang was too lazy to pay attention to this kind of snob, so she sat upright and cut to the point and asked, "I don't know when Aunt Hua will help me get out of the marriage?" ”
Li Taohua smiled and said, "I'll go tonight." Immediately, she lowered her voice and said, "This old lady Zhu has not been buried yet." Mr. Yin Yang said that he would stay at home for ten days, and this is only the seventh day, if the affairs of the Zhu family are not clear, the day of the funeral will definitely not be smooth. Zhu Gongzi must be eager to get the old lady's token. ”
"How sure does Aunt Hua think this matter is?" Chen Qiuniang also lowered her voice.
"It's 100% sure. Previously, Zhu Gongzi didn't expect someone to come out halfway. Now this shape is very different, and the value of the jade ring you hold in your hand is also different from before. Aunt Hua doesn't hide it from you, it must be more than fifty taels. Li Taohua smiled all over her face.
Chen Qiuniang is also a smart person, and when she heard her say this, she already understood that Li Taohua brought her to the teahouse to talk about the redistribution of interests. She pretended not to understand, and asked with a surprised face, "Really?" How many can there be? ”
"One hundred taels is fine, and two hundred taels is like. But I'm sure it's definitely more than fifty taels. When the time comes, if I talk about it, maybe three hundred taels. Li Taohua was quite proud.
"Three hundred taels." Chen Qiuniang was very surprised on her face, but her heart was extremely calm, she had expected this kind of thing.
"I may not be able to get it, but since Qiu Niang calls my cousin the third aunt and calls me Aunt Hua, I will definitely go all out in this matter. As for the end, what do you think of our remuneration? Li Taohua turned to the distribution of benefits in a few words.
Chen Qiuniang made a little white appearance, as if she didn't know anything, and only said: "Aunt Hua and the third aunt have worked hard for me, I think I will only take thirty percent, and the rest will be hard money for Aunt Hua and the third aunt." ”
"Qiu Niang, this, how embarrassing is this." Li Taohua smiled.
Would you be embarrassed? Chen Qiuniang was disdainful in her heart, but with a smile on her face, she said, "What is this?" The third aunt and Aunt Hua are really good for me, and there are not many people who can really be good for others now. ”
Li Taohua was polite again, and finally agreed to Chen Qiuniang's distribution plan of 37 points.
Sanqi distribution, this is definitely the price that Li Taohua is satisfied with. She was satisfied, and if she wanted to get the money, she had to withdraw the marriage. This is exactly what Chen Qiuniang wants, not only to use some silver, but also to withdraw from the marriage smoothly, at least in this regard, it has nothing to do with the disgusting Zhu Wenkang.
"Then there is Aunt Lao Hua, it's not early, I have to rush back to Liucun, so I'll leave first." Chen Qiuniang got up and bowed slightly to Li Taohua.
Li Taohua politely said that she was going to invite her to tea, but since she was going back to Liucun today, she was not reluctant, and invited her another day.
Chen Qiuniang said goodbye to Li Taohua and walked out of the teahouse, and the tall man was still waiting at the door. Chen Qiuniang said: "I'm sorry to keep my eldest brother waiting for a long time." ”
The man smiled shyly, still holding Mi and following behind Chen Qiuniang.
Ma Si is still waiting under the archway at the entrance of the town, still checking the goods. Chen Qiuniang felt that he was a little obsessive-compulsive, and he took the car once, and every time he left for a car, he had to check it countless times, for fear of missing something.
Chen Qiuniang greeted Ma Si, and the grandfather and grandson drove back to Liucun in a carriage. When he arrived in Liucun, Ma Si still stopped the car at the archway, returned the goods to others one by one, and helped Chen Qiuniang carry the rice home.
Chen Quanzhong was still scolding. Chen Qiuniang just didn't hear it, she sent Qiusheng to serve well, and she served with and urine.
At dinner, she stewed salty rice with iron rape leaves, steamed a white water fish, sorted out the fish bones, and asked Qiuxia to serve Chen Quanzhong. Chen Quanzhong said angrily that he wouldn't eat what that slut made, and roared so much that Chen Qiuxia came out crying.
Chen Liu's wail again, which is quite strange Chen Qiuniang's broom star, the father and mother, and the adoptive mother to death, and now the adoptive father's legs are also broken. Although Chen Qiuniang can understand that she is an old woman who does not have much knowledge, now that her son has broken his legs, she Chen Qiuniang is adopted after all. But she really hates Chen Liu's appearance.
"Grandma also understands people, why is she confused today? Can I be blamed for these things? Chen Qiuniang defended, and Chen Liushi said that she was talking back, and she was full of tears, and Chen Quanzhong was even more fierce.
Chen Qiuniang ignored it, ate her own meal, and then stood in front of Chen Liu's and said, "Grandma, if you are a relative, you will also be sad." The broken mirror will not be reunited, and the clothes that have been mended will always be mended, and will not always be new. People's hearts are the most easily hurt. When a person's heart is broken, the affection is weak. ”
"Did you teach me a lesson?" Chen Liushi asked sharply.
Chen Qiuniang lowered her eyes, sighed, and said, "We are a family, I will do my best to you, and let our family live a good life as much as I can." If my grandmother keeps blaming me like this, it will really make people feel chilled. ”
When Chen Liushi heard this, he was even more unreasonable, saying something like "You have hard wings, dare to threaten me, an old woman with inconvenient legs", and so on.
Chen Qiuniang didn't say a word to her again, she just wanted to take this opportunity to move to the town, even if it was to live in that haunted house. Anyway, I happened to be engaged in hotel decoration with Chen Wenzheng.
She made up her mind to pack up and leave on the market day after tomorrow. So, she called Qiusheng Qiuxia and taught them how to take care of Chen Quanzhong and how to cook simple food. The two children studied very seriously, and after learning, Chen Qiuniang asked, "Do you remember?" The two children nodded, but Qiu Xia asked timidly: "Sister, don't you want us anymore?" Grandma, she's just sorry for her father, don't blame her. Grandma, she, she loves you too. ”
Chen Qiuniang touched Chen Qiuxia's head and said with a smile: "You are so well-behaved, how can I be willing to do it." It's just that the eldest sister is going to work in Liuhe Town to earn money. When spring starts next year, you're both going to school. How can you go to school if you don't make some money? Besides, if we don't work hard now, we don't even have cotton clothes, how can we spend the winter? ”
"Big sister." Chen Qiuxia hugged her tightly, crying and shouting, "You are so good." Don't leave us. ”
Chen Qiuniang pursed her lips tightly, but tears still fell quickly from her eyes, and Chen Qiusheng also came over and hugged her without saying a word.
"Big sister won't leave you. We are one family and will never be separated. Chen Qiuniang hugged the two children tightly and said from the bottom of her heart. RS
