Ziqing put down her thoughts, took the box and opened it to see that it was six pearls the size of a little thumb nail, pink and white, and it must be beautiful to take it to inlay a beaded flower. Ziqing looked at the stone again, and the exposed part could be seen to be pink and purple. Lin Kangping said that this was specially left for him by David, eighty taels of silver, ten taels of pearls, and those wool threads cost twenty taels of silver.

"By the way, I returned the jade pendant to others, they gave us two thousand taels of silver as a reward, originally I didn't want it, but the man said that if I didn't accept it, he couldn't explain it to his master after he went back, and threatened me that if I wanted to live, it was best to bury this matter in my heart, I had to stay, I understood that this was hush money, if I didn't take it, they didn't feel at ease in their hearts. We can take this money with peace of mind, but I also saved his life. After speaking, Lin Kangping handed Ziqing two silver tickets.

"You're embarrassed to say that you almost didn't get yourself in. In the future, you don't want to go out to do business again, okay? I'm afraid, our family has enough money to spend, there are shops, land and orchards, we can manage it well, and we can add some land or shops every year. You don't know how scared I am to see you covered in blood and unconscious. ”

Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and said, "Qing'er, I'm sorry, I will never take the dry road in the future, and I will never care about idle things again, I will definitely go back as soon as possible." If I don't go to the agreed thing, it's not good to be dishonest and untrustworthy, and, Qing'er, you see I've been running away for seven years, and this is not the first time. Blame me for having to take some dry road, but I haven't heard of any robbers in that area. The means are so brutal, and they are not like ordinary robbers, who may have been premeditated. Running towards the man. We have no grievances with others in the past and no enmity in the near future, and we never provoke anyone, so we will be fine. ”

Ziqing also knows that it is unrealistic to trap him at home, men, after all, they still need their own careers, especially those from a background like Lin Kangping, who can find confidence in their careers. It's also rare. To be honest, except for these two trips, Lin Kangping almost didn't miss a moment or so. Every time I go out to inspect the orange groves and the wasteland, it does not take more than two hours. Liu once smiled and said that he had never seen Lin Kangping so clingy.

After Lin Kangping was very neat, Ziqing instructed Xiaolan to prepare half a car of rice, flour, oil, meat, eggs, chickens, ducks and geese. Lin Kangping asked curiously, "Who are you going to see today?" With so many things, the August Festival has also passed. ”

"Of course, it's for your savior, and I'm going to thank her so much. You go with you, I still have to think about what has happened? Well, by the way, cloth. Ziqing hurried to the warehouse again.

There are four cotton cloths, and Ziqing originally wanted to take silk, but when she thought of her family conditions, there was no maid. Everything should be done by yourself, or cotton cloth is more practical.

Xiushui was overjoyed when she saw Ziqing, and hurriedly took Ziqing's hand, slapped Quantum Qing's belly, and said, "You still come out to see me like this." I'm going to bump it, and I have nowhere to compensate you. ”

"Phew, less crow's mouth, I don't come to see you, and you don't know how to look at me, hurry up and let me see your home."

Xiushui sighed and pulled Ziqing into the house. Ziqing saw that the place where she lived was very cramped, half of the room, stools and chairs were messy, and the table was still leftovers from the morning, Xiushui had a total of two children, a boy and a girl, the children's clothes were stained with water on the left and oil stains on the right, and they basically couldn't see any color.

Ziqing's heart was sour, and she said with tears in her eyes: "What is this? Life is like this, the last time you came to my house, you didn't say anything, I specially asked you, you will only say yes, and you don't treat me as your own at all. ”

"Qingqing, don't be annoyed, don't be sad, you also know my temperament, it's not a calculating. Let's tell you the truth, in the past few years of living with my mother-in-law, little by little, my dowry was taken away by her, and when she saw that I couldn't get anything again, my wife broke up, thinking that I couldn't do things, and scolded me for being lazy. I was annoyed, what's the big deal, I can be quieter after the separation. I didn't expect to give us half of the house, and there is no land at home, where will I be a living? My two brothers, you don't know, you don't even want the family, who can care about me? The child's father is not a capable person, he rented a donkey cart to pull people a few times, but he didn't want to accidentally hit someone, and the money was not enough to compensate, and it was a toss, and that's it. ”

"And what about the embroidery I gave you? Deceived too? ”

"That's not yet, didn't you tell me that when there is really no food to eat, I can sell it for eight taels of silver, and I have kept it, and I plan to take it out for emergency relief when the mountains and rivers are exhausted. However, the two good clothes you gave me were taken by me. Qingqing, don't be angry, I really can't help it, the child is small, so I have to eat, right? ”

While talking, Xiushui's man Li Minghui came back, Ziqing saw that he was honest and stable, asked him about some family affairs, and knew that pulling a cart was enough to barely maintain a family's livelihood, so he left him ten taels of silver to buy a donkey cart, Li Minghui hurriedly waved his hand and said: "I don't need ten taels, six or seven taels are enough, and I can't afford to pay it back." ”

Ziqing looked at Xiushui, Xiushui sighed, and said, "Then take it, you don't have to pay it back, and repair this house well." I'm annoyed enough by the rain and wind leaking everywhere, and the children are pitiful. ”

Ziqing looked at the house, and then at the child, the eldest was only about four years old, and the younger one just knew how to walk, looking at Ziqing timidly, Ziqing felt sour, and said: "Don't repair it first, what can you build in this house?" I bought the vacant land next to it, demolished this, built a house, opened a grocery store in front of it, sold some daily necessities, and lived in the back. In the future, when the children are older, there will be more places to use silver, and when the boys are older, they will still be sent to study for a few years. After speaking, he took out two silver tickets of fifty taels and handed them to her.

"Qingqing, I knew that you were the best for me, great, I will pay you back when I have the money, to be honest, I am tired of living in this ghost place." After saying that, he picked up the youngest child, held it high, and said, "We want to live in a new house, we want to live in a big house." ”

Ziqing smiled when she saw it. Fortunately, the poor life did not wear out her kind and simple nature.

Before leaving, Lin An unloaded his things, Li Minghui was already stunned, he was smashed by Ziqing's one hundred taels of silver tickets, ten taels of silver was already out of reach for him, and suddenly a bigger meat pie fell from the sky, can it be strange not to smash it? It was Xiushui who pushed him to help move things into the house, and he came back to his senses.

Ziqing pulled most of the things in the car, all of which Xiushui urgently needed, "Qingqing, you are really a worm in my stomach, you know what I want." After speaking, Xiushui gave Ziqing a big hug.

"Don't disgust me, just like you, I can think of it with my toes, lack of food and clothing, left is just these few things. This time you can remember for me, don't be confused and let people coax you, don't talk about this silver to the outside world, just say that I built the house for you, and there is no silver. For the sake of your children, you should also learn how to live. Lin Kangping pulled Ziqing away.

"Got it, don't worry this time, I'll build the house well and them off. I'm going to make them regret kicking me out, and I can't sleep when I look at my big new house, so that's fine. Xiushui said with a smile.

Li Minghui, who Ziqing suddenly heard, coughed twice, and was glaring at Xiushui, Xiushui grabbed Bai and said: "Okay, don't talk about it, your father and your mother are good people, but I am lazy, gluttonous and stupid, I deserve to be looked down upon by them, and I deserve not to deceive things, you can only consider yourself unlucky if you marry me." I just feel sorry for my two children. ”

Li Minghui listened to Xiushui's words, his face turned a little red, probably stupid, he lowered his head and whispered, and only said one sentence: "I don't dislike you, I'll pull the car well, let's live a good life in the future." ”

Xiushui sneered, "If you dare to dislike me, I will sweep you out, and this house will be built in the future, it will be mine." ”

Ziqing saw that Li Minghui's face was getting redder and redder, and hurriedly said goodbye and came back. The two went directly to Zeng's house, only to know that Liu's had begun to have labor pains, Wang Wenpo had picked it up, and the child was born quite smoothly, but it also took more than two hours, it was a girl, Liu's heart was very disappointed, Zifu was the eldest son after all, and he gave birth to two daughters in a row, Liu's heart was very bottomless, and he was afraid that Shen and Zifu would not be satisfied.

When Ziqing entered the house to see her, Liu was watching the child crying, Ziqing saw it and hurriedly asked: "Sister-in-law, you don't shed tears during confinement, the child is fine, why are you crying?" Missed my big brother? ”

"Do you think everyone is like you and your brother-in-law, the two of them are like honey and oil, I'm really useless, and I gave birth to a girl, do you think my mother will be unhappy?"

"What's this, you're not yet twenty years old, and you can still have seven or eight children, and you're afraid that you won't have a son, what are you worried about?" Ziqing persuaded.

One sentence amused Liu, and said: "Bah, it's not too embarrassing to give birth to seven or eight, I think you will give birth to seven or eight in the future?" ”

"I didn't say I had to have a son, I had to have a daughter. If he is not happy, I will kick him out and take my daughter with me. ”

"Come on, didn't someone say that day, your womb is a son. Besides, my brother-in-law likes you so much, he likes everything, you are not allowed to bully others, your father and mother don't do it if they know it, where can you find such a good son-in-law? ”

Ziqing accompanied Liu and joked for a while, and saw that she was in a much better mood before saying goodbye and going home.

After Ziqing went home, she hugged Lin Kangping and asked, "Kangping, what if I keep giving birth to a daughter and can't give birth to a son?" ”

Lin Kangping hugged Ziqing and kissed him, and said, "My daughter is better, I like it when they are all as quirky as you." ”

"Liar, but I love to hear lies."

"Honestly, yes, you dare not believe me. See how I punish you. After speaking, he hugged Ziqing and went to bed. (To be continued)
