Chapter 1140: Family Affairs
When he arrived at Gu's mansion, Tiankuo said, "Third sister, everything is with her sister, if you need anything, just tell her, we are all our own family, you don't have to be polite, there are still some things in the yamen, I have to deal with it, and I can't be at home now." ”
Qiu Ling said, "Don't delay your efforts, go quickly, I know." ”
Siqi was afraid that they would not be used to living in it, so he asked people to clean up a small courtyard and come out, seven or eight rooms, they only lived in one of them, and the other two rooms were vacated for the children to play.
Qiu Ling heard them say that this place is big, but she didn't expect it to be so big, and there must be dozens of rooms inside and outside here? There are few people in the family, so I can really live there.
Siqi packed up with him, and they didn't have any luggage, so they took a few clothes with them, and when they came here, they didn't need a few clothes.
But this courtyard has been lived in for so long when Jiang Erye brought people to it before, there is a lot of dust, there are few people in the house, and it can't be cleaned up at all, and Aunt Zhou and Aunt Liu are usually not allowed to clean it, and no one lives in it anyway.
Someone suddenly came here, but I had to be busy, I had a simple meal at noon, and in the afternoon, I was stunned to clean up for two hours before I could get clean and be able to live in.
Siqi has been busy working on the side, looking at the few very shabby clothes that Qiu Ling carried, and asked Aunt Zhou to go to the cloth village in the county town to buy a few sets of ready-made clothes and come back, but there were still not enough yesterday to change them.
The clothes from before must not be available, and they have had problems eating in the past few years, so how good can the clothes be? If they still see it, the little two people yesterday won't treat them as beggars.
Aunt Zhou turned around and was about to buy it, Qiu Ling said, "How expensive it is to buy ready-to-wear clothes, buy fabrics and come back, I can do it myself, Siqi, a few of us are enough to cause trouble for you, where can I spend so much money on you, if you let me pay for it myself, I can't take out so much, don't worry, I will pay you back in the future." ”
Siqi smiled and said, "Sister Qiu Ling, you are polite again, this is what we should do." ”
She thought, Qiu Ling is here now, there are not so many things to do, and there is time every day, so it is good for her to do some manual work, so she can adapt to it here first.
So she nodded, if it was to buy fabrics, it would be unnecessary, there were still a lot of fabrics in the house, so she asked Aunt Zhou to go to the warehouse to find a few horses with suitable colors to come out, and if she was free, she would make a few clothes for them together.
It's almost cleaned up, Siqi asked Zhou Hao and Zhou Xing to take the big girl and Dabao to play outside, Zhou Hao knew that they had something to say, so he took the two children out according to his words.
After getting along today, the vigilance of these two children is gradually weakening, they are originally four-year-old children, how wary can they be against people? Ordinary children, they are playing everywhere and don't understand anything, and these two children have been suffering with Qiu Ling, so they are exceptionally sensible.
After getting along like this, they also know that these people are good to them, and they are willing to trust Zhou Xing, and when they come to a new place, they are still very curious, of course they want to go out and see around.
Only the two of them were left in the house, Siqi pulled Qiu Ling to sit down, and then asked, "Sister Qiu Ling, I haven't discussed it with Tiankuo yet, but I think he will ask you the same, you come here to live, we don't have any opinion, you can live as long as you want." ”
"It's just that you have a family in the end, and you can't go back to your mother-in-law's family, but your mother's family is still there, what are you going to do now? If you want to go back to your mother's house, we can send you back, the road will be safe, there will be no trouble, if you want to stay here, we will not send a letter home. ”
If her mother's family is good, she doesn't need to ask this question, Qiu Ling is definitely willing to go back to her parents' house, but what kind of virtue Gu Pingyong's family has, can she still be unclear? It's the same for her own people, Qiu Ling hasn't had a good life for a few days since she was a child, and she really doesn't have to go back.
If her mother's family can support her, then she won't end up here, but she still has to ask.
Qiu Ling's answer was the same as Siqi imagined, she shook her head, "Siqi, I am very grateful that you are willing to take us in, but please don't tell your family the news, just let me die." ”
"They don't care about my life and death, I'm afraid I'll bring trouble to them, if I die, they can live a little more at ease, now that I've come here, let's take my children to live here, take a step at a time, if one day Tiankuo is transferred and leaves, I want to live for a few years, I can also find something to eat, and I should still be able to live here."
Siqi said, "Sister Qiu Ling, don't worry, if we leave here one day, we will definitely settle you down, if you want to stay here, then stay, we won't tell our family about you here." ”
Qiu Ling was very moved and nodded, "Thank you, Siqi, I used to treat you so well in my family, but I didn't expect you to help me in the end, I was very reluctant not to go, I could only listen to my grandfather at home in the past, if he knew that I was now outcast, I had to rely on your help, and I would have to let me leave quickly, and it would be good to leave that home." ”
Siqi heard from her words that she probably didn't know that Gu Pingyong had died, and she thought about it, she had been living abroad for so many years, and Gu Pingyong had only been there for a long time, so she shouldn't have known.
There is no need to hide this news, so Siqi said directly, "Sister Qiu Ling, you have not been at home all these years, and something has happened at home, and he is gone." ”
Qiu Ling suddenly raised her head and was stunned for a moment, "What did you say?" My grandfather is gone? ”
Siqi simply told her all the things that happened before, and after saying this for a long time, Qiu Ling smiled, and there was bitterness and helplessness in that smile.
"I don't know if such a big thing happened at home, it seems that I really have nothing to do with the family, I didn't expect that my grandfather would be strong for a lifetime, but in the end it was such a result, probably arranged by God, it is our family sorry for you, if it weren't for my grandfather like this, Tiankuo would not have been admitted to the second time."
Siqi pressed her hand and told her to stop talking, "Sister Qiu Ling, what does the matter of the elders have to do with you?" And ah, if Tiankuo took the first test and went out to be an official, he wouldn't necessarily come to this place, if we didn't come here, maybe we wouldn't be able to meet you, all of this was arranged by God, and it was destined in the dark. ”
Qiu Ling smiled, "Well, you're right. ”
