Chapter 2 Repairing the house
"Go out, go somewhere else and ask for food."
Song Qingyun's face flushed, she was afraid of being despised like this, so she deliberately pinched her before leaving, otherwise the fat sister-in-law would not laugh at her for going to the city to find a wild man.
"Is the shopkeeper there?"
She had seen her face clearly by the river, it was not absolutely overwhelming, it was also beautiful, although she was wearing rags, but the pulp was clean, there was no stain, and her face was convincing enough not to be driven out.
Sure enough, the guys in the store hurriedly came over to greet him, "The girl was offended, she was dazzled just now, thinking it was a beggar from the east of the city." ”
"Little brother, it's okay, I have something I want to see the shopkeeper, can you please report it?"
Seeing that her demeanor and speech were all in the style of a lady, the young man thought she was a down-and-out rich lady, and hurriedly went inside to tell the shopkeeper.
"Is the little lady here to buy jewelry?"
The shopkeeper is a decent middle-aged man, in the end, he is a big store, he speaks kindly without a little arrogance, Qingyun walked to the corner and whispered a few words to him, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, and he invited her to the back compartment.
Qingyun put the white jade on the table, and the shopkeeper was already surprised to close his mouth.
She made up her own family road down, had to take out the heirloom for some silver for two days, the shopkeeper has seen a lot of this kind of thing, not surprised, picked up the white jade and looked at it for a long time, before reluctantly put it down.
"How much does the little lady have to sell?"
Qingyun pursed her lips and smiled reservedly, "Boss, you know the goods, look at the price." ”
"I have opened a shop in the city for more than 20 years, and I have never done anything to deceive customers, I will give you a thousand taels of silver to buy this piece of jade, what does the little lady think?"
One thousand taels? Song Qingyun's heart blossomed, these are all for nothing, she shouldn't be pretentious to take Qiao, just accept it when she sees it.
She pretended to be reluctant, and after a long time, she still received a thousand taels.
Among them, the shopkeeper exchanged some broken silver for her, and the remaining nine hundred taels were exchanged for silver tickets, and she went out of the door of the jewelry store and found a deserted alley, so that she dared to laugh heartily.
I first went to a roadside food stall and ate two large bowls of oily and watery wontons, and then went to the ready-to-wear store to buy myself two coarse cloth clothes, and bought some durable cloth and cotton to make a futon.
Rice, flour, oil pots and pans are essential, but she didn't dare to buy too much, for fear that she wouldn't be able to take them.
When she returned to the city gate, the people who came with the car saw her carrying a lot of things in a large bag and a small bag, and they all looked at her with envy.
The fat sister-in-law almost dropped her jaw in shock.
"Song Qingyun, did you buy it for you from a good friend in the city? Do you still have the face to take it back? ”
With Qian Song Qingyun, he is also confident, "Fat sister-in-law, don't spew blood, there is no evidence that you ruined my reputation, I can go to the county government to sue you for slander." ”
The fat sister-in-law didn't expect Song Qingyun to dare to contradict her, "You were swept out of the house by your in-laws yesterday, who doesn't know that you are an orphan?" Where do you get the money to buy these things?"
"I picked up a piece of gold in the river."
Everyone was in an uproar, why was she so lucky to be able to pick up gold?
The river in front of Liujia Village, someone did dig for gold in it in the early years, so everyone didn't doubt her words, the fat sister-in-law's eyes turned and turned, and she didn't taunt and bully her on the way back.
Back in the village, Song Qingyun went to the village chief's house with two jars of good wine.
Liu Xigui is 60 years old, when Song Qingyun's parents died, he was buried in a mass grave, it can be said that he watched Song Qingyun grow up.
"Girl, what are you doing here?"
Seeing two jars of wine on the table, Liu Xigui's first reaction was where she got the money.
Qingyun knew that he couldn't hide the fact that he had picked up gold, so he continued to fulfill this lie, and Liu Xigui was suspicious.
"What are you looking for from me?"
He also knew in his heart that the Liu family was too dirty and lacking in morality, but Qingyun was a foreigner, and he wanted to protect the interests of the Liu family, so she was divorced yesterday, and the old man hid out directly.
These light clouds don't want to care, if she wants to gain a foothold here, the last thing she can offend is the old man in front of her.
"Uncle, I have no place to live after being divorced by the Liu family, the original house can be blown down by the wind, I want to ask you to help find a few plasterers to help me repair it, I also have a place to live, right?"
Liu Xigui smoked a dry tobacco pouch and nodded incessantly, "You're right, how can you say that our Liu family villagers are simple, how can you look at you lonely and don't reach out to help, I will arrange someone to repair your house, but you have to pay for it, you see ......"
Qingyun sneered in his heart, but he promised it, "I naturally pay the salary, I can't call people for nothing, right?"
Eating people with a short mouth and soft hands with people, Liu Xigui is not for the sake of the two jars of good wine, saying some high-sounding words, why didn't she see someone come over to greet her when she was in trouble yesterday?
Soon a few strong laborers pushed the cart and came to Qingyun's house with tools, and there were few men in the village who did not covet her beauty, but Qingyun never showed up again after a few words, and the frivolous had no one to vent, so he spent his strength on the house, and at night it was dark, and there was a strong wooden door for the time being.
The potholes were also filled in and flattened, but unfortunately the broken windows were still the same, and Qingyun gathered the items he bought, couldn't stand the sleepiness, and fell asleep in the pile of cotton.
She didn't know that several dark shadows appeared by the river that night, and they quietly groped for something in the river, and it was only when the fish belly white appeared in the east that it returned to peace.
This night, I didn't hear the heart-stopping wolf howl, which surprised Qingyun.
Three days later, her small house was completely changed, the exterior walls were re-covered with mud mixed with cattails, the roof was covered with a thick layer of thatch, and the windows and courtyard walls were completely renewed, so that it looked like a place where people lived.
After repairing the house, Qingyun went to the city again to buy some necessary farm tools, she couldn't do nothing, she had to rely on her hands to support herself.
Back in the village, he was stopped halfway.
Liu Wang is her ex-mother-in-law, who is cunning and mean, and is a well-known shrew in Liujia Village.
"Little slut, if you get money, you don't come to be filial to your in-laws, and dare to spend it secretly, where did you have the courage to go against your mother?"
As soon as she appeared, everyone in the village knew that there was a good show to watch, and Qingyun had been beaten and scolded by her a lot in the past few years, and this old lady didn't have the same scolding, I really don't know what kind of expression the official daughter-in-law would have if she knew that there was such a mother-in-law.
Qingyun raised her eyebrows, and waited for her to scold enough before she said lightly, "My father and mother have died a long time ago, and whoever you are is your mother will call whoever is filial, what does it have to do with me?"
"What? How dare you talk back? It's the other way around, I think you're tired of being crooked. ”
Qingyun smiled, pointed to the people watching the excitement and said, "You call everyone to comment, do you have a dime to do with me?" Why should I honor you? ”
"I am your mother-in-law, and you dare to say something rebellious, see that I don't break your legs."
In the past, Liu Wang's family said that others had no opinion, but your Liu family divorced people, and now they still call people filial, which is simply nonsense.
"I remember if your daughter-in-law wasn't a noble lady in the city? You go to her to honor you, you remember, I have nothing to do with you now, I am the daughter-in-law of your Liu family, if you can't remember, you will talk about it every day. ”
Liu Wangshi was so scared by her that he forgot to refute, in the past, Song Qingyun didn't even dare to let go of a fart in her house, but now he has eaten bear heart and leopard gall?
