Eldest sister, this pennant is really magnificent, I haven't seen it so big, and in Qianjia Village before, even the village chief has never been treated like this. ”

Qian Xuan touched the embroidery on the pennant and couldn't help but sigh, but Qian Fen kept a sad face and didn't seem to be happy.

"This pennant is collected, but from today on, our pickle shop will not be able to open, and it will be too much of a loss to exchange so many pickles for such a pennant."

After all, Qian Fen is a few years older, and he doesn't like this kind of ethereal thing as much as Qian Xuan, he is a poor and afraid person, but he cares more about the money in his pocket.

"The current situation is not good, even if our shop opens, we won't be able to make a lot of money, and you were fortunate a few days ago, so you just took this opportunity to go back and rest."

Qian Qianqian looked at the accounts of the pickle shop, and calculated it in her heart, the money she made from this shop a few days ago was all in this this time, and she lost dozens of taels of silver inside and out.

"Eldest sister, I heard that the war on the frontier is tight, and the imperial court has requisitioned all our grain, so the rice grain in this city is so expensive, is this true?"

Qian Fen raised her head, she was still a little incredulous when she first heard the news, in the eyes of girls like them, who had not yet been born, they always felt that war was a very distant thing, as long as it did not reach them, they would not know their worries.

"Yes, but don't worry, no matter what, I will ensure that our family has something to eat."

Qian Qianqian didn't hide it, she said very surely, calculate the days, in two months, those fields in Qianjia Village will be harvested, and she has also stored a lot of food in the space, so she should be able to tide over this difficulty.

After sending all those pickles out, Qian Qianqian simply closed the pickle shop, and the landlord refunded her rent for the remaining months.

The landlord is a very kind old couple, there is only one son under the knees, not yet married, a few days ago the son was conscripted into the army, with Xiao Mohan to the frontier, the old couple depended on each other, waiting for their son to come back.

Qian Qianqian knew that it was not easy for them, so she also took care of them very much on weekdays, and the old couple also regarded Qian Qianqian as a goddaughter, saying that they only kept the shop for Qian Qianqian, and Qian Qianqian wanted to rent it, so she would come back at any time, and they would never rent it to others.

The hot pot restaurant Qian Qianqian is still open, and Tongbo is fully in charge, although the business is not good, but it can't be easily lost this business.

Seeing that the ten-day period was approaching, Qian Qianqian thought about it, picked a country wild chrysanthemum in the yard, put it in an envelope, and then wrote down on the rice paper those words that she was safe and smooth, and hoped that Xiao Mohan would return triumphantly.

According to Xiao Mohan's instructions, Qian Qianqian sent the letter to the general's mansion and handed it over to the housekeeper, as for whether the letter could reach Xiao Mohan's hands in the end, she didn't know.

Back in the town, Qian Qianqian was about to enter the house, but she heard a burst of noise inside, she couldn't help but stop, standing outside the courtyard and listening carefully, if she expected, it should be the old man Qian and the old lady who came.

The eldest aunt and the third aunt were imprisoned, and Qian Qianqian knew that the old man and the old lady would come to make trouble, so she kept preparing, but she didn't expect it to drag on for several days, which was a little unexpected to her.

With a "squeak" sound, Qian Qianqian pushed open the courtyard door and walked straight in, as soon as she looked up, she saw Mrs. Qian hanging in the hall, her legs staring in the air, with hemp rope around her neck, constantly rolling her eyes, as if she would lose her breath at any time.

"Oh old woman, why can't you think about it so much, if you die, I won't live anymore."

Old man Qian collapsed to the ground, crying loudly, and then took out a dagger from his sleeve and made a gesture to poke his heart.

"Dad, don't!" Mother Qian didn't care about Qian Yao, pounced over, grabbed Old Man Qian's hand, and snatched the dagger in Old Man Qian's hand.

The three of Qian Fen's sisters and brothers hugged in a group and huddled in the corner, trembling, and even their cries weakened, no one expected that the old man Qian and the old lady would make a trick of forcing each other to death.

"Ahem—"

Qian Qianqian was calm and calm, coughed deliberately, everyone's eyes turned around, and even Mrs. Qian who was hanging in the air changed her face.

"Qianqian, you're back, save your grandmother, can't let her hang herself."

Mother Qian seemed to grasp the life-saving straw and rushed towards Qian Qianqian, Mrs. Qian hung too high, Mother Qian has always been afraid of heights, Qian Fen sisters and brothers are still young, plus Old Man Qian stopped her, so Mrs. Qian seemed to be hanging for a while.

"Grandma, if you want to die, don't worry, when you die, I will hold a beautiful funeral for you, so that your posthumous affairs are more magnificent than any old man in Qianjia Village."

Qian Qianqian didn't step forward, clasped her hands in front of her chest, as if watching a good show, and a sneer appeared on her face.

"What are you talking about? You unfilial descendant, you hurt the old family, and the third family, and now you curse your own grandmother to death, I want to erase you from the family tree, and your family doesn't think that you are a person with a family name. ”

Old man Qian stretched out his index finger tremblingly, pointed at Qian Qianqian's face, and scolded, the old man's face was full of ravines, and the corners of his forehead were covered with blue tendons.

"Really? I originally planned to give you ten buckets of grain every month in the future, but since you don't want us anymore, then we are no longer a family, and I won't give ten buckets of grain to people with foreign surnames. ”

Qian Qianqian was calm, the smile on her face became more and more intense, and her eyes were full of indescribable contempt.

When the old man and the old lady heard this, their faces suddenly changed, ten buckets of grain were their rations for two months, so that they could have food to eat without farming, and the surplus grain could be sold to pay back, such a beautiful thing is very rare.

"Qianqian, what you said is true?" Old man Qian looked at Qian Qianqian's expression carefully, and seemed to be a little incredulous.

"It's true, grandpa, although I don't like the eldest aunt and the third aunt, but I am still a blood relative to you, how can I ignore you? But you're here to make trouble, and you're embarrassing me. ”

Qian Qianqian knew the intentions of the old man and the old lady, so she wanted to see if this selfish and shameless old couple would still take care of themselves in the face of petty profits.

Mrs. Qian stared violently at her legs in the air, put her hands on her neck, but didn't look like she was begging for death, but like she was escaping, the hemp rope "gurgled" on the beam, and suddenly the hemp rope broke off from the middle, and she fell to the ground suddenly.

"Oops-" Mrs. Qian screamed, covering her waist with her hands, grinning in pain, falling from such a high place, she had old arms and legs, and it was inevitable that she couldn't stand it.

"Old woman, are you alright, get up quickly." Old man Qian immediately went over to help the old lady, and finally helped her up from the ground.

Qian Qianqian knew that hanging was just an appearance, selfish people like Old Man Qian and Mrs. Qian would not put their lives on the line for the eldest aunt and third aunt, they could only scare and scare Mother Qian, and wanted to scare Qian Qianqian, which was too naïve.

"Grandma, I have good medicine and wine there, it's just right to treat bruises, I'll give you some later, you take it back and wipe it well, this waist injury should heal in a few days."

Qian Qianqian's words changed, she held back a smile in her heart, and reminded lightly, Mrs. Qian nodded one after another, but thanked Qian Qianqian.

Old man Qian's face sank, and he gave the old lady a look, and the old lady realized that she had fallen for Qian Qianqian's plan, and they came to Xingshi today to ask for guilt, but they made themselves so embarrassed, as if they were the ones who made mistakes, and came to ask Qian Qianqian for forgiveness.

"Qianqian, I know that you are not a bad person, and you don't have the intention of harming your aunt and third aunt, they have been locked up in prison for a long time, and they know that they are wrong, you can see if you can just forget it, let them out, I will definitely let them go back and reflect on it."

Old man Qian squeezed out a smile from his face, deliberately close to Qian Qianqian, if it weren't for Qian Qianqian's previous saying that he would give him ten buckets of rice per month, he would not be so polite.

"Master, you can be serious, the eldest aunt and the third aunt deserve it, that is the judgment of the county commander, it has nothing to do with me, if you think it is inappropriate, you can report to the official and go to reason with the county magistrate."

Qian Qianqian's face did not change, and she spoke lightly, which made the old man Qian helpless, only thinking that this girl had really grown up, and a fluttering sentence made people unable to answer.

"It was you who reported to the official to send your eldest aunt and third aunt in, if you regret it, it is appropriate to go to the county magistrate, Qianqian, we are relatives anyway, this broken bone is still connected to the tendons, and your cousins and cousins are still looking at their mothers and relatives going back."

Old man Qian was very affectionate towards Qian Qianqian, and he always had a flattering smile on his face, but Qian Qianqian didn't eat this, she was used to seeing the faces of this family.

"It's okay if you want me to enlarge my aunt and third aunt, but you have to promise me one thing."

Qian Qianqian's words changed and gave the old man and the old lady a glimmer of hope, she didn't really want the eldest aunt and the third aunt to eat in prison for the rest of her life, she just wanted to take this opportunity to get what she wanted.

"What's the matter, just say it, as long as you can let go of your eldest aunt and third aunt, we are willing to do whatever we want."

Old man Qian and Mrs. Qian were overjoyed and nodded one after another, and Qian Qianqian also took the opportunity to take out a note and put it in front of them.

"As long as you sign it, I will go to the county office to intercede for the eldest aunt and the third aunt, so that they can come out as soon as possible."

Qian Qianqian's face was relaxed, the old man Qian and the old lady didn't know what to do, and slowly picked up the note, Mrs. Qian was illiterate, so she couldn't understand what was written on it at all, but even so, she still poked her head out.

"You are all from the Qian family, why do you have nothing to do with our business and land? Are you the second child? ”

After reading the content of the note, Old Man Qian suddenly became angry in his heart, stared at Qian Qianqian coldly, rolled up his arms and sleeves, as if he wanted to go up and do something.

"You don't want to treat me as the Qian family's own child, the note is very clear, my business and land have nothing to do with you, and at the same time, you can erase me from the family tree, I don't care, I just can't touch my mother and my younger siblings."

Qian Qianqian sneered and said categorically.
