Chapter 272: Hypocrisy
"Really?"
Qingge was excited and shy, and his cheeks were dyed crimson.
In a daze, she lingered with Xu Moqing for a long time before reluctantly parting.
On the way home, Qingge felt the empty purse and felt a little apprehensive.
Although she is not afraid of her mother-in-law, but five taels of silver is a lot, she still feels a little hanging.
Pushing the door open carefully, she saw her mother's face, and she was startled and took a step back.
"Mother?"
The door was pushed open by her mother from the inside, and Qu saw Qingge coming back empty-handed alone from a distance.
"Why are you only coming back now? What about the livestock that you bought? ”
"Livestock...... Didn't buy it. ”
Qingge was a little weak-hearted, and his words stumbled.
Hearing this, her mother frowned slightly, a little displeased.
Didn't buy it?
Could it be that the livestock seller is not there or there is no livestock, but there is something really wrong with Qingge's sneaky appearance.
"Qingge, why didn't you buy it, what's wrong?"
Qu Shi didn't give up, stared at his daughter's back, frowning.
It really didn't look like it, and he was even more anxious, so he crossed Qingge's side and looked out the door.
"I lost the money."
Seeing her mother's poor and sour appearance, Qingge said with disgust.
Isn't it just five taels of silver, as for that?
It's as if she's done something heinous.
She is not afraid now, she is not afraid of Qu's family, and she is not afraid of her cowardly and incompetent parents.
When she marries a rich man in the future, they still have to flatter themselves.
"Lost??"
Qu's voice raised twice, and he looked at her hand in disbelief.
She still didn't give up, and rummaged through Qingge's pocket.
When he saw that there was still nothing, he wanted to take off her clothes and look for her.
Qingge saw that her mother came up to touch her, and her calloused hands were rough, grinding her skin painfully.
She was in pain, and directly opened Qu's hand, and said impatiently: "If you lose it, you lose it, don't touch me, it will make me hurt to death!" ”
Hearing this, Qu's face was anxious and desperate, and the whole person was like a frosted eggplant.
There was no money in the family, and this money was the same as her life.
The family now lives on that one-third of an acre, and without silver, they can't buy cattle, which is equivalent to pronouncing the death date of a family of three.
Although the family still has money, how can the croppers buy food? Isn't that waiting to sit and eat empty?
How expensive is the food outside, and how long can their money last?
A bunch of melancholy swirled in Qu's heart, pressing her out of breath.
Helpless, she stomped her foot and pulled Qingge directly to go out.
Her rough hand directly grinded a red mark on Qingge's delicate arm.
"When did you lose it, go out and look for it, maybe no one will pick it up there now."
Hearing this, Qingge was a little impatient, and shook Qu's hand with all his strength.
After shaking it twice, she couldn't shake it off, how could her strength be compared to Qu's.
She was anxious and shouted angrily: "I can't find it, you don't bother, let go of me." ”
Qu Shi looked at her face and wept in despair.
I don't know how her daughter can be so ignorant and lose this money?
The movement here has already alarmed Qingge's father.
Her father didn't hear what he was saying, he just thought that Qingge and Qu had quarreled, and when he came over, he saw Qu wiping his tears.
Qingyuan was taken aback, and in an instant, his heart was heavy, and he knew that something big had happened.
Qu is not a person who can cry!
It seems that Qingge must have done something wrong.
Thinking of this, he hurriedly took Qu's hand: "What's the matter?" ”
Hearing this, Qu saw Qingyuan coming, and cried louder, and the choked sound was also intermittent.
"Qingge lost the money, and the money to buy livestock was all lost."
Speaking of losing it all, she was even more sad, and her tears immediately burst the embankment and flowed straight down.
Qingyuan's eyes were cloudy because of his old age, so he was stunned and widened.
"What?"
Without waiting for him to finish speaking, Qingge disdained it and glanced at Qingyuan with cold eyes.
"Isn't it just five taels of silver, don't think I don't know, you have a lot of money in the house, you know how to do farm work all day long, you don't have any interest at all, you don't know anything, I really don't want to have your father, I'm ashamed."
When Qingyuan heard this, his brows furrowed suddenly, and he said angrily: "Why do you talk like this, we are your father." ”
If the money is gone, there is no way, so they can only buy it with silver, and it is a big deal that they will have a hard time in the future.
But the fact that his daughter had lost her money and remained unrepentant was so chilling to them.
Suddenly, Qingge's eyebrows rose upside down and he became furious.
"Give me money, I'm going to buy something."
Hearing this, Qingyuan's cloudy eyes suddenly brightened a lot, and he stared at Qingge suspiciously.
I'm afraid she didn't lose this money at all, and I don't know where it went.
That's a full five taels of silver, and it's gone after going out for a while!
He is such a daughter, if he is taken badly, what will he do in the future?
"How can there be money in the family, can you be sensible when you are so old!"
"I want it, you guys don't treat me well at all, I don't give me any money if I want it, you two poor sour ghosts."
Qingge's crying and shouting has the posture of crying all the time without giving money.
"Nope!" Qingyuan said sharply.
Hearing this, Qingge gritted his teeth, pushed his parents in front of the door, and ran into his house crying.
Behind him, Qu cried out, "What kind of sin have I created!" Such a thing was born. ”
As he spoke, Qu wept bitterly and slammed his chest with his fists.
Seeing this, Qingyuan sighed and hurriedly grabbed Qu's.
"Don't be angry, go in and sleep, the child is old and rebellious, and it's useless to roar."
With that, he helped Qu into the house.
Qingge looked at the second elder coldly, and was unconvinced.
She won't give up the money, if she doesn't give it, she will go to the house to get it, can't she touch her own money?
Having made up her mind, she stayed outside her parents' room and waited for her chance.
The second elder may have been angry, and it wasn't until early in the morning that Qingge heard the sound of snoring.
She was originally drowsy, and she was suddenly startled, and her heart was happy.
Here's your chance!
Fortunately, the farmhouse yard is not well soundproofed, otherwise she would have to squat in the corner all night, how could she take a nap.
She lightly touched Qu's room, rummaged around, and finally let her rumm.
Fortunately, Qian's location is not close to the bed, otherwise she would have wasted some effort.
Succeeded, and went back to his room.
She hid the money under her pillow and went to bed contentedly.
In the morning, the sky was just white, and Qu and Qingyuan got up to do farm work without much sleep.
Qingge slept until the afternoon before getting up.
Together, she dressed up and went to Zhigao Academy happily.
That's where Xu Moqing often appears!
It was also a coincidence that she just went to see Xu Moqing getting out of school.
Seeing this, she pulled the broken hair on her sideburns and greeted her with a smile.
"Xu Gongzi!"
A warbler's tactful voice sounded, which immediately attracted all of Xu Moqing's attention.
When he saw Qingge wearing gold and silver, and yesterday he made a generous move, and his heart was excited.
She shouldn't be an ordinary peasant girl, and since that's the case, he should make good use of it.
With a handsome smile, Xu Moqing came shaking this fan.
"You're here, why are you waiting for me here, aren't you tired?" As he spoke, he reached out and brushed the green silk in Qingge's ear, looking gentle and considerate.
In an instant, Qingge was confused by him and lost his reserve.
"I'm not tired, I'm not tired, as long as I can see Xu Gongzi, it's too late for me to be happy!"
With explicit words, she hurriedly climbed on Xu Moqing's arm, and the two stood snuggling up to each other.
Seeing this, Xu Moqing looked proud, half-hooked thin lips, and a touch of cunning flashed under his eyes.
"You can't be tired, or I'll be distressed."
As she spoke, Xu Moqing frowned, gently pulled her hand and stroked it on her chest, pretending to be distressed.
Suddenly, Qingge's cheeks and tongue were red, and he looked up at Xu Moqing's face with a look of fascination.
Sure enough, Xu Gongzi has her in his heart.
Xu Moqing saw that the time was ripe, so he pretended to sigh inadvertently.
Hearing this, Qingge was stunned for a moment, and immediately asked: "Young Master Xu, what's wrong with you, why do you have to sigh?" ”
Hearing this, a sneer appeared in his heart.
This woman is so easy to take the bait!
Subsequently, he reverted to his usual melancholy color.
"It's not because of my studies, I have to buy some books recently, you know, I've been studying hard lately and can't leave."
Hearing this, Qingge frowned and stroked Xu Moqing's cheek distressedly.
Yesterday has already made my father and mother angry like that, if she ...... again
Without waiting for her to think about it, Xu Moqing opened her mouth again.
"It's okay, I won't embarrass you, I'll figure it out myself."
After speaking, he looked sad again, and pretended to be cold and pushed Qingge away from his arms.
Feeling Xu Moqing's attitude, Qingge instantly became anxious.
"I'll buy it for you, and I'll go."
Hearing this, Xu Moqing looked embarrassed with a humble gentleman on his face, and he had already laughed in his heart.
In order to make Qingge even more desperate for him, he swore with a solemn face: "When I have achievements in the future, you also have half of the credit, I will not forget you." ”
With that, he reached out and took Qingge into his arms.
The voice is also more and more gentle like water.
"Don't worry, I will definitely take you to see my mother in the future."
As he spoke, Xu Moqing put Qingge's head on his chest, but the corners of his mouth hooked up a smile of conspiracy.
Qingge couldn't see his expression, he only felt happy.
She's going to fly up the branches and become a phoenix!
Her eyes flashed with excitement, and her body became more and more close to Xu Moqing's chest, and the two of them were crooked together as if no one was around.
And Tang Chuyao's side, in recent days, the restaurant has been on fire.
Her restaurant became famous, and more and more people came to visit her.
There are even some people who come thousands of miles to come to her for a delicious and medicinal meal.
As a result, there was a growing shortage of ingredients in her food library.
On this day, it happened that he had nothing to do, and Tang Chuyao planned to go out in person to buy some high-quality ingredients and medicinal materials to increase his inventory.
Coincidentally, the shop she purchased was near the college.
At that time, she had just negotiated the price with the owner of the food shop and was happily preparing to go home.
When I went out, I bumped into Xu Moqing and Qingge hugging each other.
Seeing that the two were intimate, Tang Chuyao couldn't help but shudder.
