Chapter 21: The Abacus Fails
According to him, this is Zhang Ping's estimation that he has fallen in love with Qiao You's stinky girl.
After all, although this girl is only fourteen years old this year, this little face is really beautiful, and she is smart, even if she has been treated harshly for so long before, she has never seen ugliness.
If you use this girl to pay off the debt, it will be worth it, after all, this is twenty taels of silver, and the Pei family only gave five taels of silver when they were engaged to the Pei family that day.
Where can this girl be worth such a price, so it can be regarded as lifting her.
The abacus in Hu's heart sounded, and he secretly looked at the look of the hooligan leader, and kept looking at the girls, and he estimated that he was not a good person.
Just to be able to cure Qiao You, a stinky girl who doesn't know the height of the sky.
Thinking so, she directly dragged Qiao Youfu next to her, a pair of black eyes wandering, and at first glance, she was hiding a bad mind.
"Blessed, you have to think about it, you can use a girl to pay off your debts, why bother to continue to make trouble, besides, although this man looks fierce, but he is also a little powerful, if we marry our daughter, we also have a backer."
Her voice was not small, and Qiao You next to her could hear it clearly.
This Hu Shi is really a good abacus, she also admires her, she can say that this fire pit is like a nest of gold and silver in the atmosphere, if Qiao You didn't know what kind of character this Hu Shi is, he would definitely believe her words.
Qiao Youfu looked at Hu Shi incredulously, only to feel that her heart was inevitably a little ruthless, "What you said, but Hu Ke'er." "He's not stupid, he can naturally come out, and the person in Hu's heart is Qiao You.
"No, of course not." Seeing Qiao Youfu like this, Hu Shi only felt a chill on his body, and the words in his mouth stammered, "No, people don't take a fancy to me, aren't they looking at Xiaoyou?" ”
"You ......" Qiao Youfu was so angry that he was almost speechless, why was he blind to such a woman in the first place, "If people fell in love with Ke'er, would you push your daughter out so without hesitation?" ”
"Of course." Hu Shi said as a matter of course, she was sure in her heart that Zhang Ping had taken a fancy to Qiao You, so she was naturally not worried, "After all, this is twenty taels of silver, but it's a pity that my son doesn't grow well, and people don't look down on it." ”
Hu Shi pretended to be lost and pulled Hu Keer next to him over.
"Hey, no, it's her that I have my eye on."
Without waiting for Qiao Youfu to scold Hu Shi, Zhang Ping diverted his words and pointed to Hu Keer next to him.
Hu Shi was stunned, and Hu Keer on the side was also frightened.
Qiao You smiled unabashedly, this Hu family's abacus can be regarded as a failure, and he wanted to push her out, but unfortunately people didn't take a fancy to her.
"You, you have a crush on my family." She stammered.
Zhang Ping nodded, and said angrily, "That little girl is good-looking, but it's a pity that she is too young, didn't you just say that as long as I like it, I am willing to use my daughter to pay off the debt." ”
Hu's mother and daughter only felt as if the sky was about to fall, Hu Ke'er grabbed Hu's sleeve tightly, looking panicked, "Mother, I don't want it, don't pay off the debt, you let Qiao You marry ......" She doesn't want to marry this hooligan.
Looking at the Leng Leng, Qiao Youfu said with a sneer, "Now that people have taken a fancy to your precious daughter, it's time to send her to pay off the debt." ”
He didn't want to send Hu Ke'er to the fire pit of that stinky hooligan, but what Hu said just now was too cold, and he was really angry.
"Yes, mother, you just admitted it in person, this son, don't you want to regret it?" Qiao You opened her mouth lightly, and her eyes swept over Hu Ke'er behind her, without half sympathy.
The mother and daughter are the same thing, and they really deserve to be in this situation.
"Shut up, you little slut." Hu Shi glared at Qiao You viciously, and his cruel eyes wanted to swallow her immediately. She didn't care about pretending to be virtuous and virtuous in front of Qiao Youfu, so she raised her hand directly and was about to hit her in the face.
Qiao You's eyes were quick and he dodged directly. The hand was empty, and Hu Shi had to chase after him, but he was directly dragged to the side by Qiao Youfu vigorously, "Enough, you still want to bully your daughter in front of me." ”
He can see it clearly, this Hu family is simply a poisonous woman, whose woman can be ruthless like her, he is such a black-hearted person in ten miles and eight towns.
"Hey, what do you want, Yinzi and girl, or you will go to prison, choose one of the three, it is not difficult to choose." Zhang Ping, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth quietly, and his smug gaze fell on Hu Keer's body.
A bit of greed rolled out of his eyes, and Hu Ke'er was so frightened that he stepped back directly, becoming more and more determined that he couldn't marry her.
"No, Ke'er can't marry you, she can't." Hu Shi covered his stomach and pulled Hu Ke'er to retreat continuously.
She will never push her purpose into the fire pit, her daughter is beautiful and smart, she will definitely marry a rich family in the future, how can she marry this scoundrel in front of her.
"Hmph, now I feel that I can't marry my daughter to her, what I said just now is a set, why don't you say it now." Qiao Youfu opened his mouth disdainfully.
Zhang Ping was not annoyed, looking at the reluctant appearance of the mother and son, he said directly, "It's okay if you don't want to, give money, twenty taels, not a penny less." ”
However, as soon as Zhang Ping's words fell, Hu Shi next to him suddenly screamed, and his steps back were suddenly knocked down by the stool behind him, and he fell to the ground in an instant.
"Mother, mother, what's wrong with you......" Seeing Hu Shi fall to the ground, his originally ruddy cheeks turned pale in an instant, Hu Ke'er cried out in fright.
seems to feel the passage of life in the belly, Hu Shi is really afraid, without a child, Qiao Youfu will definitely be separated from him, she doesn't want to live that kind of wandering life, "My belly, my stomach hurts so much, blessed, save me, save the child......"
Zhang Ping next to him was stunned, they just came to collect a debt, why did something happen one after another.
Qiao Youfu walked over in a panic and hugged Hu Shi who fell to the ground to the bed, Qiao You also sensed that the situation was wrong, and ran out directly to find the doctor in the village.
Lying on the bed, Hu Shi only felt very painful, holding Qiao Youfu's hand tightly, praying in his heart that the child was okay.
Zhang Ping stood outside the courtyard, and several young men looked impatient and shouted at him, "Brother Ping, what do you call this, what should we do now?" ”
Not to mention that the money has not arrived, this family is going to die with them day by day, and now it has become a miscarriage, and it is also a little unlucky.
At this moment, Zhang Ping was also very irritable, and he didn't know how things could have turned out like this, "Okay, leave one person here, and ask for money when their mess is over." ”
Several people deliberated, leaving an emaciated young man to stand outside.
Inside the house, when the village doctor arrived, the bed under Hu Shi was almost stained red with blood, and the midwife who came in a hurry just glanced inside the house, and then shook her head.
"No, hurry up and let the doctor prescribe medicine to stop bleeding, I'm afraid that a human life will be lost later." The midwife shook her head, a little regretful.
Qiao Youfu, who was pacing back and forth, heard this, and immediately sat down on the ground, breathing heavily, and his heart was filled with loss for a moment.
He understood the meaning, that child, gone, not saved.
If he hadn't spoken at that time, those words forced Hu to marry Hu Ke'er to that scoundrel, maybe all this would not have happened.
But he didn't mean it, he just wanted to warn the Hu family, just to let her know the mood of pushing his daughter into the fire pit.
"Dad, you still have us." Qiao You walked over and patted Qiao Youfu's back comfortingly, she could almost understand Qiao Youfu's mood, in the villages in the countryside, most of them are patriarchal.
Qiao Youfu is now about forty years old, and this Hu family finally got pregnant and may be a boy, and it is gone for no reason, of course it is sad.
"Good boy, Dad used to be sorry for you two." Qiao Youfu took the two sisters in front of him into his arms. It doesn't matter, he still has two daughters.
As the sky got dark, Hu Ke'er fed Hu Shi a decoction, and couldn't help crying when she looked at her pale face.
Qiao You opened the door and brought the prepared meal into the house, "Let's eat first." ”
Hearing Qiao You's voice, Hu Ke'er turned his head suddenly, stared at Qiao You with scheming eyes, got up suddenly, and threw the wet cloth in his hand towards Qiao You.
She quickly dodged, her calm eyes turned cold in an instant, her dark pupils glowed with a deep light, and she stared motionlessly at the person in front of her.
"It's all you, if it weren't for you, my mother wouldn't have become like this, it was you who killed the younger brother in my mother's womb, it's all you!" She snarled, looking at her as if she were looking at an enemy for years.
"It's not me, it's her own fall." She replied calmly.
Seeing her answer so calmly, Hu Ke'er's face turned hideous, "It's you, it's you who killed your brother, you're a murderer, it's you." ”
She roared hysterically, not knowing whether she expected something or was angry at the child in Hu's belly.
Qiao You ignored her, put the food on the table, and glanced at her, "If you're hungry, just eat some." As for the rest, she couldn't do anything about it.
As for the child in Hu's belly, she felt a little sorry, she hated Hu, but the child was innocent.
"Who's going to eat your meal."
With that, Hu Keer returned to the bedside, held Hu's hand tightly, and prayed that Hu could wake up as soon as possible.
Qiao You went out and saw Qiao Ying sitting alone at the door, with no less food in the bowl in her hand, she walked over and asked in a low voice, "Xiaoying, why don't you eat." ”
Qiao Ying raised her head, looked straight at her with big round eyes, and muttered, "Sister, I'm a little scared." ”
