Chapter 40: She's Not Human
After Qiao Shushu and Qiao He and Qiao Wu left, Qiao's family held a family meeting.
Miao and the old lady sat in the main hall with serious faces.
"Bang~", the old lady patted the table, coughed a few times, and said after publicizing the atmosphere: "Our Qiao family has not produced a girl in the second generation, and it was not until the third generation that Qiao Shushu came out of this daughter, and now, our Qiao family is finally going to marry a daughter, although the family is a little embarrassed, but there are many of us, and one person has eleven ......
Li Zheng glanced at the Yang family and the He family who were slumped in their seats.
They were dragged out by the old lady.
couldn't help but say, "How can the two of them come up with silver?" And the three who lay in the room. ”
The old lady's words were interrupted, and she glared at her with an unkind face, "You want to say it?" It's crooked, no wonder he only gave birth to a girl. ”
"You haven't been born yet." Li Zheng was a little unconvinced, and underestimated it in a low voice, but the old lady heard it clearly.
"Okay, you have the ability, you have another girl." The old lady deliberately raised her voice.
Before Li Zheng could explain, he was slapped by Miao's eye, and his heart trembled, let alone let his daughter-in-law give birth.
He didn't dare to mention this matter for half a sentence, and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Mother, you can eat indiscriminately, you can't talk nonsense, I don't mean this, if I want to give birth to you, I should also urge your grandchildren." ”
The old lady touched her chin, and her eyes suddenly lit up, "I want to hold three in one year and twenty in five years." ”
Not to mention that Qiao He does not have a daughter-in-law yet, and Qiao Zhi has not yet married his daughter-in-law, leaving the three of them.
How many more must you have this year?
None of the old sows are so powerful.
Thinking of this, Yang Shi took a breath of cool air, and hurriedly said: "Grandmother, I can go to the town to sew and mend clothes, two pieces of clothing earn three yuan, and I can make up thirty pieces a day and night, which is forty-five Wen, and there are still twenty days before Shushu's family affairs, and I can earn nine hundred Wen." ”
"I'm afraid I'm going to work hard for you." Yang's words pulled the old lady's thoughts back.
"It's not hard, it's not hard, my sister-in-law is going to get married, and I should be a sister-in-law."
"When the time comes, let Qiao Wu help you pull the goods."
"Howler!" Yang agreed very cheerfully. ”
After the Yang family dealt with it, the old lady silently set her eyes on Li Zheng.
Li Zheng was a fierce spirit, and blurted out: "Since I can't catch the prey, I'll take Qiao He to fish in the Houshan River, and I should be able to save three or four taels of silver at that time." ”
The old lady frowned, "Too little, not enough." ”
This makes it difficult for everyone.
Miao smiled, "I've already discussed with Mu, and I'll go out to practice medicine during this time." ”
Wood is Miao's affectionate name for Lizheng.
"No way!" The old lady's face changed suddenly.
Yang glanced at her, and was not much surprised, in her opinion, if the old lady easily agreed, it would be strange.
When she hadn't married yet, the Qiao family at that time was notoriously rich in ten miles and eight townships, and it was said that at that time, she could get tens of thousands of taels.
And all this is due to Miao's family, before she married Qiao Mu, she only opened a small hospital in the town, and her fame spread all over Khotan, even Nanjing There are many princes and nobles looking for it, and even the emperor at that time has heard about it.
Of course, these are also rumors, but after she got married, the first rule that the old lady set was not to let them reveal everything about the Miao family.
I'm afraid that this matter is not far from ten.
The old lady objected very much, Miao did not choose to persuade her, she was not qualified to speak badly in this matter.
Li Zheng was upset about his daughter-in-law, "Mother, I know that you are obsessed with what happened back then, but it has been so many years, and you should let go of what you should put down, and now Shushu is about to get married, and if you drag it down, the people in the village are noisy, and it is not good for her reputation." ”
"If you do this, I'll die for you." The old lady didn't care so much, and left angrily after leaving this sentence.
Li Zheng grabbed Miao's hand comfortingly, and the two glanced at each other, both of whom shook their heads helplessly.
After returning to the house, Li Zheng hugged Miao into his arms, patted her shoulder gently, and looked at her eyes, full of guilt and distress.
"Don't worry about this matter, I'll find a way to convince my mother, she just can't get over this hurdle in her heart, and it will take time to figure it out."
Miao nodded.
Seeing that she didn't have much expectations, Li Zheng felt quite unpleasant in his heart, for so many years, Coco had always stayed in Qiao's house with peace of mind, nested in this small courtyard, and never mentioned going out to practice medicine.
He thought she didn't want to go out and run around anymore, and it wasn't until the day before yesterday that he realized that he had never really understood her.
He was angry and puzzled at the time, but then he figured out everything, he couldn't help Coco, and immediately, his heart also had an idea, since the old lady didn't agree, then he could only use a trick.
"Wood, I think our daughter is from the same place as me." Miao suddenly opened his mouth.
Li Zheng breathed a sigh of relief, it turned out that her daughter-in-law was thinking about this matter.
Wrong!
He reacted instantly, and said awkwardly: "You mean that she is the same as you, and she is also from another world?" ”
"It's so strange, the way she handles things, her thoughts, her casual words, etc., all of these make me suspicious."
Li Zheng suddenly smiled, "Coco, don't think too much, okay." ”
Miao pinched him fiercely and said angrily: "You give me a little serious, I'm serious." ”
Ke Lizheng was still laughing, laughing so much that tears were about to come out, and shook his head firmly, "No, it's impossible, if she wasn't our daughter, how could she know about the Guogong Mansion, how could she come to our village, how could she look so similar to you, how could she call us daddy, how could she integrate into our Qiao family so quickly?" ”
He tried to anesthetize himself.
Miao took a deep breath, "What if our daughter dies on the way?" She is just like me at the beginning, and there are other souls living in this body. ”
"Coco ......" is trembling for a while, his daughter is really ......
Miao Shi shed tears, but had to say: "And Qiao Yu and a few of them, what they eat these days is not medicine at all, but sweet potato powder, but the poison on their bodies is inexplicably relieved, do you know what it means?" ”
Seeing that he didn't speak, Miao continued: "It means that they didn't take medicine, but it's impossible, unless Shushu is not human!" ”
