At this moment, in the courtyard of the Qu family, Qu was absentmindedly drying clothes, and when he heard that the courtyard door was pushed open, he hurriedly looked over.

Father Qu and Qu Anwen walked in one after the other, both dressed in rough coarse cloth clothes and carrying farm tools on their shoulders.

Father Qu's old face frowned, and although Qu Anwen also had a trace of sadness, he was not as worried as Father Qu.

Seeing her husband and son coming back, Qu quickly wiped her hands on her apron and responded.

"It's back, take a break!"

Qu brought a stool and dried white water, and looked at Qu's father with some words and stopped.

Father Qu took a sip of water, took out an empty cigarette stick and put it in his mouth to relieve his addiction to smoking, and now that his family is poor, he doesn't even dare to smoke, so he can only relieve it with a cigarette pipe when he is addicted to smoking.

"Just tell the if there's anything going on!" Father Qu looked at Qu's appearance that he had something to say, and his brows furrowed even tighter.

"His father, I heard about ...... when I went to wash clothes today" Qu Shi told Qu Father and Qu Anwen what he heard today.

It turned out that the news that Xiuniang was sick and dying was no longer known by whom, and when Qu went to wash his clothes, he heard someone talking about it.

In the afternoon, the matchmaker also came, saying that the girls who had taken a fancy to the Qu family had other plans, so the Qu family should not wait.

Qu's is in a hurry, her daughter is still lying on the bed, her son's family affairs have changed again, she is a woman with little knowledge, and she doesn't know what to do.

Hearing Qu's words, Father Qu took a puff of the empty cigarette stick, and his brows were furrowed to kill flies.

Qu Anwen, who was next to him, didn't have any superfluous reaction when he heard this, but sneered: "Hmph, it's okay if you don't marry, I don't have the heart to marry now, let's wait for my sister to get better!" ”

"Nonsense!" Father Qu slammed the cigarette stick and scolded Qu Anwen.

But Qu Anwen obviously didn't pay attention to it, and just said to Qu's family: "Mother, is there still that ginseng?" If not, I'll go up the mountain again tomorrow! My sister is not in good health, and the doctor said that this ginseng can replenish qi and blood! ”

Qu's face showed a sad expression when he heard this: "It's almost gone, it's just Anwen, it's ...... on this mountain."

The village where the Qu family is located is close to the mountain, a very large mountain, I heard that there are all kinds of ferocious beasts on the mountain, and the people in the village dare not go deep even if they go up the mountain.

This time it was also because Xiuniang was sick, but the ginseng in the pharmacy was too expensive, so Qu Anwen asked the old doctor about the appearance of ginseng, and planned to go up the mountain to dig it himself.

Not to mention, he was lucky, and he really found one.

It is precisely because of ginseng that Xiuniang's body has not completely collapsed.

But after all, the mountains are dangerous, Qu Anwen can find ginseng for the first time, who knows if he can find it for the second time?

Qu was worried about his son's safety, but his daughter's illness couldn't be delayed, and he was sad for a while, and he didn't know what to say.

Father Qu smoked his empty cigarette stick silently, and his heart became more and more annoyed.

The family sat in the courtyard, all frowning, and the gloomy appearance made Nan Yan, who was hiding in the house and secretly observing, couldn't help but sigh.

Poor people mourn!

The Qu family is miserable, but Chanjuan's house is different at the moment.

Compared with the dilapidated courtyard of the Qu family, Chanjuan's home can be regarded as spacious and tidy.

At this moment, Chanjuan was at the back of the house, meeting another little girl who was about the same age.

"Sister Chanjuan, I did as you said! Now everyone in the village knows that Qu Xiuniang won't live long! The little girl said a little nervously, "Sister Chanjuan, what do you want to do?" ”

Chanjuan casually took out a handful of candy and stuffed it to the little girl, and said with a smile: "Oh, don't ask about adults, children, eat your candy." ”

After sending the little girl away in a few words, Chanjuan's smile deepened.

She remembered the words she heard during the day, and she was even more imperative to Qu Anwen in her heart: "Qu Anwen, you are destined to marry me Chanjuan!" ”
