Qian Qianqian waited for about a stick of incense, Qian Fen came out of it with tears in her eyes, Qian Qianqian stopped talking with the servant, and took the initiative to walk up and take her hand.

"Let's go, let's go home."

Saying goodbye to the two officials, the two sisters walked close to the noisy street. In the noisy voice, Qian Fen's faint and crying voice could be heard clearly.

"Eldest sister, in fact, my mother will be able to come out of prison tomorrow, she didn't suffer much, she was locked up in a cell alone, and the official didn't embarrass her......"

Obviously it was a good thing, but Qian Fen raised his arm to wipe his tears as he spoke, crying uncontrollably.

Although she saw her mother, she was relieved that her mother had nothing to do, and she could get out of prison quickly, but she still wanted to cry, and when she thought of the reprimands and scoldings she had received, her stomach was full of grievances.

Qian Qianqian patted her head and took the thing in her hand: "But you feel wronged?" ”

"It's that I'm not as good as the eldest sister." The eldest sister has never cried like her, and the two officials were also helped by the eldest sister.

Qian Qianqian said truthfully: "You are better than the eldest sister, the eldest sister has never come out of Qianjia Village when she was your age, but you can now enter the mansion, Xiaofen, you are already amazing." ”

Qian Fen seemed to be the same when she heard it, although she still knew that she couldn't be compared with the eldest sister, but she was much more comfortable.

"But it's strange that those two officials are good people." The two sisters went back to the pickle shop, Qian Fen glanced at Brother Yao who was sleeping soundly, and lowered her voice and said outside.

Qian Qianqian put the medicinal herbs on top of the shelf, looked back and smiled: "Do you think they are good people if they don't accept gifts?" ”

"yes, not accepting gifts looks like a good person, and it's weird." When she went to the medicine store to buy something, she heard from the owner of the medicine store that the people in the yamen had to collect money and gifts for doing things.

"Could it be that they are looking at the face of the eldest sister?" Qian Fen came up with an answer by herself, with a look of determination and pride.

Qian Qianqian smiled: "They are not looking at my face, but at the face of money." ”

Little by little, she was kind and persuasive: "Spending money to do things is not a fair and honest thing, if you give them a gift in broad daylight, what will the people along the street think when they see it?" ”

Qian Fen suddenly realized, no wonder the two officials looked like they wanted to speak when she gave the gift.

After putting away the medicinal materials, Qian Qianqian jumped down from the chair, patted the ash on her hand and said: "They may treat it as if they didn't see anything, maybe they will say it as a conversation after dinner, or they may report it to their superiors, in short, it is probably not a good thing." ”

"So they're angry?" Qian Fen's face flushed, thinking of what she had done outside the yamen, she only felt that she was very stupid.

"Yes, that's why they didn't take your gift, but they took my money."

Qian Fen was shocked: "What? When did they receive the money? ”

She thought she had earned it.

Qian Qianqian said: "When you go to see your mother." ”

Three taels of silver per person, which is not a lot.

But Qian Qianqian didn't care about that money, and more importantly, let Qian Fen know that everything was not as simple as she thought.

The fact that the official received the money made Qian Fen speechless for a long time, and after a long time, she slowly moved to Qian Qianqian's side and whispered, "Sister, I'm sorry." ”

"Xiaofen, you've done a good job, now go and help the eldest sister settle the account, okay?"

Since Qian Hui went to school, whenever there was an opportunity, Qian Qianqian and Qian Hui would teach Qian Fen and Qian Xuan some simple arithmetic and words.

Qian Qianqian also thought about sending the two sisters to the school to learn something, but the two sisters were unwilling, feeling that they were not young and did not want to go.

Qian Qianqian doesn't force them, but just teaches them when she has the opportunity to teach them on weekdays.

However, Qian Qianqian underestimated the speed of the spread of the news, she was arrested yesterday, and someone came to the door today, there was no one in the courtyard, and she found the pickle shop when she asked for the way.

"Qian Qianqian!"

is older, but his voice is not small, which attracts the attention of people on the street.

Qian Qianqian had to put aside the matter of settling accounts with Qian Fen first, wiped her hands, went out from the pickle shop, and invited Old Man Qian to a quiet alley to talk.

"Master, is there something wrong with you coming?" Qian Qianqian pretended to be confused.

Old Man Qian was so angry that he blew his nose and glared, and his crutches slammed on the ground: "You dead girl, still pretend to me?" You've sent your own mother to prison, can you endure it, no one can control you! ”

Qian Qianqian glanced at it and said in a low voice: "Master, they will come out tomorrow, do you think you will go back and wait for news, or will you stay in the town for one night and wait for them to go back tomorrow?" ”

Old Man Qian frowned, as if he was in thought.

In his opinion, Qian Qianqian is already compromising with him, so whether he will accept it when he sees it or pursue it with victory is a question to be considered.

Mr. Qian took two sips, and only then did he realize that he had forgotten to bring a cigarette stick and walked in a hurry.

"Wait for tomorrow." Old Man Qian frowned, but it was a pity that his cigarette stick had been used for more than ten years, and he was afraid that he would not be used to changing it to a new one.

Qian Qianqian wondered why Old Man Qian was so good at talking today, and solved the matter in a few words, and couldn't help but feel good, so she said: "Master, you haven't eaten yet, the front order is my hot pot restaurant, do you want to go over and eat?" ”

Old Man Qian swallowed his saliva and said, "Then let's take a bite." ”

Look, this girl is already courting him.

Old man Qian was so determined that he didn't think about the cigarette stick anymore, he swaggered into the hot pot restaurant to have a big meal, and lived in the inn under Qian Qianqian's arrangement, and the day was over.

Qian Qianqian returned to the small courtyard, she was so tired that she couldn't straighten her waist, she sat on the recliner with her buttocks, and she hadn't rested for long, when Brother Yao'er remembered the sound of crying.

Qian Qianqian supported her forehead with her hands, and for a moment she felt that she couldn't even move her fingers.

After a night, the dark circles under Qian Qianqian's eyes became more obvious, and finally it was dawn, Brother Yao fell asleep, Qian Qianqian simply cleaned up and continued to be busy for a while.

Walking on the road, Qian Fen did not forget that today was the day when Qian's mother came out of prison: "Sister, are we going to pick them up from prison?" ”

Qian Qianqian thought that Mother Qian could come out today, and the gray expression on her face was better: "You don't have to pick it up, just wait for them to come to us." ”

"Will they come to us?" Qian Fen was a little skeptical.

"Definitely." Qian Qianqian must be very sure, that big family will definitely not forget it easily.

But no one came to the door at noon, no one came to the door in the afternoon, and it was almost dusk, when Qian Qianqian and Qian Fen were discussing whether to close the shop, a group of people appeared in a mighty manner.

They came out of the street, the expressions on their faces were not clear, but just listening to the sound of rapid breathing, Qian Qianqian could also expect that a storm was coming.

"Eldest sister, why don't we discuss it in the small courtyard?" Qian Fen stared at the people who came over, and couldn't help but swallow his saliva and wanted to go home.

"No, you don't."

While speaking, a group of people had already arrived in front of the shop, and all their faces were full of anger, and they looked like they were eager to tear Qian Qianqian to pieces.

"You are so vicious, even your loved ones can be sent to prison, what else can't you do?"

Unusually, the imposing person became the third aunt, and the eldest aunt, who had never been afraid of heaven and earth, lowered her eyes and quieted down.

Qian Qianqian said with a cold face: "What the third aunt said is sad, the offender is you, I didn't do anything, even if you want to forcibly seize my small courtyard, I still spent money to make the people of the yamen accommodating and release you early." ”

The third aunt rarely bumped into Qian Qianqian's anger, and she was speechless for a while, she looked at the eldest aunt, who lowered her eyes and said nothing.

Never mind! Unreliable! The third aunt glanced at the eldest aunt, turned to Qian Qianqian and pulled out a smile: "Qianqian, you have misunderstood, who lied to your yard?" ”

Qian Qianqian snorted coldly, didn't listen to the words of the third aunt, and continued: "Now you don't know how to repay the favor, but the favor will take revenge, who dares to deal with you?" ”

"You misunderstood, who cares about your yard ......"

Qian Qianqian interrupted a few people: "Yes, you are not rare, now the third aunt, please leave, the master is waiting for you in the inn." ”

"Let's go?" The third aunt smiled, but she wasn't ready to leave.

Qian Qianqian also smiled, her face was ruthless: "I'm not a soft-hearted person, I was in prison for two days last time, and next time it's just a matter of one or two days?" ”

The third aunt's eyes widened: "You threaten us? ”

Qian Qianqian clasped her hands on her chest and looked indifferent: "You can't talk about threats, but you have to bear what you do by yourself." ”

"This time, for the sake of my mother, I will go to the yamen to intercede for you, communicate for you, and let you come out early, but next time, you can try."

"You!" The third aunt felt that the cooked duck was about to fly.

"It's good to go, don't send it." Qian Qianqian said coldly.

Before the third aunt could react, the eldest aunt grabbed Qian Meng's hand with one hand: "If she wants to leave, let's go." ”

"Sister-in-law? When did you still be afraid of this wild girl? The third aunt was so angry that she grabbed the eldest aunt with one hand and didn't let her go.

The eldest aunt shook off the third aunt's hand fiercely, her eyes were red, and she glared at the third aunt viciously: "You have the face to grab my hand now?" I grabbed your hand when I was taken out by those evil officials, why did you pull my hand away? ”

"I, I ......"

", let me go." The eldest aunt wiped away her tears and dragged Qian Meng forward: "Mengmeng, let's go home." ”

She can see it clearly now, no matter who she plans for or who she pays for, no one will think of her good, and in the end, she is the one who suffers.

In the future, she will not come to this town again, and she will never come into contact with the second room family again.

The big house family walked neatly, leaving only the third aunt's family, and the situation suddenly became subtle.

"Mother, I want to live in a big house!" Qian Qi didn't care about anything else, he liked the big yard.

The third aunt gritted her teeth and looked at Qian Qianqian again.
