Chapter 111: The Old Trick Repeated
Just in the moonlight outside the window, Qiduo saw a warm smile on Erxia's pretty face.
Erxia pursed her lips lightly and said, "I was ten years old that year, and suddenly the high fever did not go away, and some people said that I was infected with smallpox, and my grandmother asked my father to leave me alone in the back mountain." But my father was not afraid that smallpox would pass people, so he carried me on his back for dozens of miles and ran to the town to ask Langzhong to treat me.
Luckily I didn't have smallpox, just a rash that was cured quickly. But my father walked for too long because of carrying me, and it was dark, but my leg was injured, and it was difficult to walk for a long time.
Duo, do you know the way, at home, the person I am most grateful to is my father. Although I am not his own child, he has always loved me like a biological father. There are delicious foods, never less than my share, new clothes, always made for me, and let you and Juduo pick up my old clothes, let alone say a word of cruelty to me.
I don't have any skills, I can't share my father's and mother's worries, and this is the only thing I can do for them at the moment.
As long as I agree to marry the Lin family, grandma and they will no longer have an excuse to scold their father and mother in the future, and they will no longer be able to talk about Da Lang saving Liulang, and what we owe to the rest of the Tan family has been paid off. ”
Qiduo quietly wiped the corners of his eyes.
Since being reborn here, no matter what happens, Erxia is mostly silent, rarely comes up with ideas, rarely goes to see the excitement, rarely gets angry and complains, and has no radical actions.
She has always felt that Erxia is a very simple person, to put it mildly, it is the kind of heartless and heartless, if you are good to her, she will not be particularly moved. You're bad for her. She won't particularly hate you either. Always a tepid look, no complaints.
But what she did tonight subverted Qiduo's view of her, she was not heartless, but very affectionate, everyone's kindness to her has always been remembered in the depths of her heart, and she doesn't show or express it on weekdays. It's just that the time has not yet come.
"Silly eldest sister, since you know that Dao Father loves you like this, you shouldn't have such a bad idea. You don't know grandma's temper, even if you marry the Lin family, she will still use excuses to scold your father, and then she may say that your father is not as sensible as you, and deliberately watch her worry about what mess and so on.
Also, if grandma makes such a fuss, you agree to marry, then our family will be miserable in the future. If she asks something too much and we don't agree, she'll do it again. Use this trick to force us to comply. Because she thinks this trick is useful, and thinks that our family is easy to bully. Qiduo persuaded very seriously.
Erxia has this idea is very scary, and because of her life experience, she may have more gratitude to Tan Dejin in addition to her father's respect, and she has always had the psychology of repaying her kindness, if her kindness is used by the Zhao family, the consequences will be very serious.
Therefore, she must completely dispel Erxia's terrible idea and let Erxia understand that this idea is very wrong.
"Ah...... Duo, probably not, in the future, our family will have less contact with grandma. After Erxia was surprised, she said weakly.
Qiduo was really defeated by Erxia's kindness, squeezed her hand tightly, and said, "Eldest sister, you think too simply, just like you are married this time, if someone wants to marry the second sister next time, the dowry is very tempting, what do you think will happen to grandma?" ”
Erxia was silent.
Qiduo continued, "Grandma will definitely accept the family affair in private for the sake of benefits, and then come to force her father and mother to marry the second sister, because there are already successful cases of you in the past, and she knows that her father and mother and the second sister will definitely agree." Then Liulang and I can't get rid of these vicious fates either.
Grandma, what is this like, let's take an analogy, it's like Qilang wants to eat, Erniang doesn't give it, Qilang starts to cry and play tricks, Erniang is annoyed, so she meets Qilang's request.
Eldest sister, let me ask you, the next time Qilang asks Erniang for something, if Erniang doesn't give it, what method will Qilang use? ”
Qiduo's words hit Erxia's chest word by word, she really didn't think about it so far, she just wanted to help Tan Dejin solve the trouble in front of her.
She seriously thought about Qiduo's words, and the more she thought about it, the more afraid she became, it turned out that by doing this, not only did she fail to let her family live a peaceful life, but also harmed them.
Thinking of this, Erxia began to feel uneasy.
"Duo, I understand what you mean, when Qilang asks for something next time Erniang doesn't give it, he will still use the method of cheating, because he knows that as long as he uses this method, he can get what he wants.
And grandma may have the same idea as Shichiro, if you can force me to marry the Lin family this time, then you can force Ju to marry the He family Niu family next time, Duo, I'm really stupid, it's too simple to think. Erxia quietly wiped away tears.
She almost killed her family.
Qiduo quietly grimaced in the dark, and the eldest sister finally figured it out.
"Eldest sister, what you said is very correct, so you hurry up and throw away that bad idea, we are a family, as long as we are united, there is nothing that cannot be solved. I'm afraid that we are selling ginger in the front, and the eldest sister is not spicy in the back. Qiduo sighed softly.
"Duo, don't worry, I won't be so stupid anymore, I will listen to my father and you. However, I am still a little worried, if I don't agree, I don't know when this matter will be over, and grandma doesn't know what will happen again, I really don't want to see my father and mother sad. After Erxia made up her mind, she was still worried.
"Eldest sister, if you agree to marry, your father and mother will be even more sad. I told Aunt Shen about this, and she said that you can't get married, and promised to help us. Also, I have a plan, tell you about it......" Qiduo persuaded Erxia softly.
She wants to completely dispel Erxia's stupid thoughts.
Erxia listened carefully, of course she wanted to repay the favor, but if the Lin family's affairs could be properly resolved, it would naturally be better.
After all, no one wants to jump into the fire pit right away, they just can't do it.
When he got up early in the morning of the second day, Qiduo called the whole family and Tan Debao over, and gathered together to talk about the plan for the next step.
"Fourth uncle, how much money can you earn by selling change every day?" Qiduo asked Tan Debao.
"Not necessarily, dozens of texts, occasionally you can earn a hundred cents, ask what you are doing here?" Teddy Grim was a little curious.
"Fourth uncle, if I ask you not to sell change for the time being, can you do us a big favor?" Qiduo asked.
"Silly girl. Just say something. Talk about what to help or not. Let's be honest, I used to sell change, mainly because I was too bored at home, and if I had something to do, why did I have to sell change. "Tan Debao is angry.
Such an answer made Qiduo finally feel at ease to say his plan.
"Fourth uncle, my father and I have been running around in the town and county these days, with the help of Brother Shen Nan. We do a business with Joy Guest. Qiduo briefly talked about the river clam business with Yue Kelai.
She didn't want Tan Dejin to go to catch river clams in person, not to mention the hard work, mainly because the family had to plow the fields and start spring ploughing, and she didn't have that time, so she was ready to pay for the river clams.
Although it makes less money, in this way, business and farm work are not delayed, and if the snail business with the spring breeze proudly building can be successful, it will be necessary to buy snails at that time.
"Fourth uncle, please help you weigh the river clams. There is also a quality check, and the dead stinky and rotten don't want it. And also. The main reason is that the Lin family will come to cause trouble, and with you at home, we are at ease. Fourth uncle, do you think it will happen? Qiduo said seriously.
Tan Debao nodded solemnly, "Qiduo, these things are wrapped up in the fourth uncle, and ah, Liulang, Erxia, Liuju, and Qiduo, if you are free, I will teach you to practice some fist and foot kung fu, and it is good to defend yourself." ”
"Okay, Fourth Uncle's suggestion is good, practicing kung fu can not only defend yourself, but also strengthen your body, I agree." Seven flowers were the first to vote by a show of hands.
She has deep feelings about practicing kung fu.
In the past, she was very timid, but after self-taught self-defense, she naturally became bolder, no matter who she faced, she was very confident, and never worried about being bullied by others.
Like now, if Erxia has kung fu to protect herself like herself, where will she worry about these hearts.
"Okay, fourth, I'll have to worry about you in the future." Tan Dejin also applauded his hands in agreement.
"Yes, Fourth Uncle, with you, we are all at ease, but we have worked hard for you." Xu was also very satisfied with this suggestion.
Tan Debao waved his big hand and said, "Big brother and sister-in-law, don't be so polite to me in the future, if it weren't for you back then, my Tan Laosi's life would have been gone a long time ago, where would I have the courage to live until now." I solemnly say once again, from now on, as long as the eldest brother and sister-in-law have anything useful, just open their mouths, otherwise they will look down on me. ”
Looking at such a heroic fourth uncle, Qiduo is really happy, and his heart is warm.
"Okay, from now on, our brother won't say those kind words anymore." Tan Dekin choked his head and nodded.
Something happened, but fortunately, Tan Debao has been by his side to support, otherwise, many things could not be solved so smoothly.
After a few people sighed, Qiduo secretly called Tan Debao to the side and said the plan he had told Zheng Wanru last time.
After listening carefully to Qiduo, Tan Debao then looked at Qiduo for a long time without squeaking.
Qiduo was furious in his heart, didn't the fourth uncle agree?
"Fourth uncle, if you don't think it's good, let's think of other ways." Qiduo grabbed her hair and pouted.
"Ha Lu Ha." After being silent for a long time, Tan Debao suddenly laughed heartily, and the scar became even more twisted and ugly.
When Qiduo swallowed dryly, Tan Debao said, "Qiduo, the fourth uncle found that the ideas in your mind are really not ordinary, I don't know how many times smarter than your father, okay, I like it." Alas, it's a pity, how good it would be if you were a boy, Qiduo, with such a smart head, you can go to school, become a big official in the future, and win glory for your father. ”
"Hehe, fourth uncle, although girls can't be officials, they are no worse than boys, I will find a way to earn money and let Liulang go to study to win glory for his father, isn't it the same." Qiduo said with a smile.
"Okay, that's a good point, Qiduo, I raised a hundred hands to agree with your idea, those people should have been rectified a long time ago, otherwise they wouldn't have caused these things." Tan Debao said seriously.
Qiduo and Tan Debao quietly discussed some details, and the matter was quietly settled, and Qiduo breathed a sigh of relief.
With the fourth uncle in the family, he will feel at ease when he is outside.
Qiduo found a piece of red paper and came out, went to borrow pen and ink from Zheng Wanru, and wrote an acquisition notice, collecting river clams for two pennies and one catty, and limiting the purchase to one hundred catties.
Don't look at her river clams selling for dozens of pennies a catty, but ordinary river clams belong to things that no one wants on the side of the road, and two pennies a pound is definitely a high price.
The notice was posted at the door of the new gate, and Qiduo went out with the food box and Tan Dejin. (To be continued......)
