Chapter Fifty-Eight: Eating Without Working
"Da Lang, you promised to lend money to Xiaofeng before, why did you change your mind? Xiao Feng didn't borrow much, twenty taels of silver was enough! ”
The old lady's eyes widened and she shouted in a hurry.
Qin Xiang lowered his head, there was no reaction on the surface, but in his heart, he slandered this old lady as a vampire.
After coming here, although she hadn't fully adapted to it, she finally knew that twenty taels of silver could live for a family for a year, and she was really a lion.
"If you had come here the day before yesterday, I would have been able to make some of it for you, but yesterday I took all this money to buy things for the renovation of the house, and now I really don't have any money."
What Han Yunxiao said was not false, it was exactly the case, but he knew that Han Yunfeng was going to borrow money from him, so he hurriedly went out to buy materials.
The old lady was so angry that her face turned red, and she pointed at Han Yunxiao without saying anything, she knew her son, and naturally knew that what Han Yunxiao was saying now was not the truth.
"Mother, there is still a chicken at home, why don't you take it back to make soup, I'll get it for you!"
Qin Xiang saw that the old lady was still thinking about it and wanted other things, so he leaned over and spoke.
Unexpectedly, when the old lady heard her voice, she turned her head sharply and raised her hand to hit her cheek.
The distance was so close that she didn't have time to dodge at all, but fortunately, the moment before the old lady's hand landed on her face, Han Yunxiao rushed over and grabbed the old lady's wrist.
"Mother, what are you doing here?"
A trace of anger flashed on Han Yunxiao's face, and the old lady naturally saw it, but this made her even more annoyed in her heart, feeling that it was Qin Xiang who instigated the discord between their mother and daughter.
Looking at Qin Xiang's eyes with coldness, Qin Xiang stared at her with a smile on his face, without showing weakness at all.
The old lady was even more depressed, and walked out on crutches, Han Yunfeng naturally knew when he saw this, he would definitely not be able to get the silver today, and sighed a little boredly.
However, before they left, they still took the chicken that Qin Xiang said, Qin Xiang looked at the back of the two of them walking out of the yard, and sneered in his heart.
Not long after the two left, Tian Dalang and Han Dalang both rushed over and promised to take the job and come over tomorrow to help.
After Qin Xiang made them tea, she went to prepare some ingredients to be made tomorrow, and when she came out of the kitchen, the person had already left.
"Didn't you hire two people to cook for you? You don't have to be so busy, just let them do it tomorrow. ”
Han Yunxiao saw that Qin Xiang was already bleeding thin sweat on his head, so he walked over quickly and wiped her sweat with his sleeve, and said with a stiff face.
"It's okay, it's all ready today, and the province will be busy tomorrow."
Qin Xiang shook his head, took out the key from his pocket, and said with a smile: "Before Lin Qingmiao moves out, leave the key to me, so that I can help take care of her house, and it just so happens that we will temporarily put things in her house first." ”
If it was in the past, Han Yunxiao would definitely not agree, he must have thought that it would be most appropriate to put things in Han Yunfeng's place.
But after this period of time, he suddenly didn't trust the family so much, so he nodded and moved things with Qin Xiang.
Tie Niu came over at this time, and immediately helped to move things together, except for the things that will be used in the kitchen tomorrow, all the other things have been moved to Lin Qingmiao's house.
After finishing his work, it was already completely dark, and after Qin Xiang left Tie Niu to eat at home, Tie Niu left in a hurry.
In the evening, Qin Xiang moved to Lin Qingmiao's house, while Han Yunxiao stayed in their house.
The two little groups changed places coldly, and they were not used to it, and they finally fell asleep after grinding for a long time.
Qin Xiang was also a little sleepy, so she fell asleep deeply, and it was almost time for her to wake up.
She hurriedly got dressed, hurried back to her home, and after making breakfast, she took the meal she had prepared before to Lin Qingmiao's house.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Han Ziyan sitting on the kang wearing a small cotton jacket, he seemed to have just woken up, and his eyes were still a little confused.
"Hurry up and wash up and eat, and then you two will take it with you in this yard, don't let others touch our things, I have to go back and help your father build a house, understand?"
Qin Xiang touched Han Ziyan's head, although this kid usually has a somewhat awkward personality, he is very precocious.
Therefore, as long as he is willing to agree to things, most of them can be done, so Qin Xiang is very relieved to leave things to him.
"Well, don't worry, my brother and I will take care of the things at home."
At this time, Han Tongtong was also woken up, nodded his little head, and said seriously.
Qin Xiang breathed a sigh of relief at this time, and urged them to hurry up for breakfast after they finished washing.
She hurried back home, and saw that the old man had already come over with his two sons, and there were Tian Dalang and Han Dalang standing around the house, as well as Tie Niu who hurried over.
Just like that, several people have already begun to demolish the house, Qin Xiang didn't pay attention to these, but came back with water and began to boil hot water.
When these people are tired from work, they must drink some hot water and rest.
"That's too ...... You don't have to spend so much, and we know you don't have any money. ”
When Sister Hua saw a chicken and a hare on the cutting board, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Qin Xiang.
"This building a house is physical work, naturally you have to eat some good to have strength, and it is not a cost, this chicken is raised by my Zhuangzi, and the rabbit is my father-in-law in the mountains, and it doesn't cost money."
Qin Xiang shook his head and smiled and put all kinds of spices into the chicken belly that he had processed yesterday.
Sister Hua and Tian Erya were also instructed by her to start washing vegetables and choosing vegetables, and the three of them soon became busy.
Seeing that it was almost noon, I saw that the old lady came over with Han Qianqian and Han Yunfeng's daughter-in-law Bai Cui'er, all three of them were empty-handed, and they obviously didn't come to help with the work.
After the three of them came in, they went straight to the kitchen and sat on the stools set up outside, and Bai Cui'er was the first to speak.
"Sister-in-law's craftsmanship is really good, I can smell the fragrance while sitting here."
Bai Cui'er's voice was a little mocking, obviously wanting to make such a delicious thing, but she didn't even call us.
"It's no wonder that you eat chicken soup all day long, so it's natural that you're familiar with the taste of chicken soup."
Qin Xiang smiled, still preparing the noon tea in his hand, as if he didn't understand Bai Cui'er's words at all.
Bai Cui'er immediately choked, and said in her heart, the old lady has long been tired of eating chicken soup, and your mother-in-law has to eat chicken in the name of the old lady!
Although she thought so, she knew what kind of temper her mother-in-law was, if it weren't for the comparison of Qin Xiangduo, who she didn't like very much, it wouldn't show how likable her second daughter-in-law was.
"Old man, are you blind? I've been sitting here for so long, you don't even know how to pour me tea? ”
The old lady snorted coldly, she naturally knew that Qin Xiang's words just now were aimed at her, and her heart became more and more impatient, and she shouted at Qin Xiang in a cold voice.
"I'm sorry mother, I'm busy now, if you want to drink water, pour it yourself."
When Qin Xiang spoke, he didn't raise his head, and he quickly cut the lettuce with a knife in his hand.
"I can't move you, right, you unfilial little hoof!"
The old lady snorted coldly and pushed Bai Cui'er casually.
Bai Cui'er got up and reluctantly walked into the kitchen, poured a glass of water for the old lady, and when the water came back, she sat back in her original position.
She just heard that Han Yunxiao's family was going to rebuild a house, so she deliberately ran over to eat and drink, she didn't want to have something to do with Qin Xiang at this time.
The old lady took a sip of water and glanced at Qin Xiang again, as if she was still a little dissatisfied with her.
Qin Xiang turned a blind eye completely, and after the meal was ready, she walked outside quickly, mixed the hot water she had boiled before, mixed some cold water, and poured it all into the basin to wash the faces of these working people.
"It's noon, let's take a break, the dishes are ready."
Seeing this, Cui Niang hurriedly shouted at Han Dalang, she was distressed that her husband was working hard, and wanted her to rest for a while, anyway, this work was calculated by the day.
Han Dalang didn't say anything, but looked at Han Yunxiao, after all, this is the work of the owner's family, and he can't stop doing it himself, and watch the owner's family continue to do it.
"Then let's eat first, and we'll continue after lunch!"
Han Yunxiao thought that it would take a lot of time to tear down the house, but he never thought it would be so easy.
But in one morning, a whole wall had been built according to the old man's instructions, and at this rate they could live in it before winter began.
After hearing this, everyone put down their work and rushed to the place to eat, Han Yunxiao was still a little surprised when he saw his mother.
He never thought that his mother would come over at this time, but he didn't ask too much, so he sat quietly at the table and waited for dinner.
Qin Xiang happened to prepare two chapter tables, one for women and one for men, and the dishes were the same.
A bowl of chicken stewed mushrooms, barley and winter melon pork rib soup, fish-flavored shredded pork, braised pork made with rabbit meat, and scrambled eggs with lettuce.
When a table of dishes was put on the table, everyone was moved with their index fingers, although the old lady took Han Qianqian and Bai Cui'er to do nothing, they ate the most happily.
The three of them quickly ate all the dishes on the table, and Cui Niang and Tian Erya both looked at the three of them with stunned faces.
But the two of them are juniors in front of the old lady, so naturally they can't say anything, so they can only turn their faces away, thinking in their hearts that after they leave, they can make do with some food by themselves.
Qin Xiang beckoned the two of them into the kitchen at this time, she took out all the remaining dishes in the pot, put them on the stove, and the three of them made do with a meal.
"Sister Qin Xiang, I really convinced you, I met such a bad mother-in-law."
Tian Erya was the most outspoken, and after seeing the old lady and the three of them leave, she pouted and said.
As soon as she finished speaking, she was pushed by Cui Niang, meaning to ask her not to say anything.
"I'm going to come here at night, maybe I'll come tomorrow."
Qin Xiang shook her head and smiled bitterly, she didn't mean to shy away from the other two people at all, thinking in her heart, maybe Han Yunfeng would come over tomorrow.
Tian Erya didn't know what to say, they were busy here, and those three people were embarrassed to sit there and let them serve, which was really big enough.
