There were more and more people coming to the tea stall to rest, and Chu Qingkui couldn't care about Le Zhengzhao, so he simply let him go first. The little prince felt aggrieved, and went back to pull Xu Chen to drink flower wine to relieve his sullenness.

Chu Qingkui was busy until the sun fell, then he cleaned up the tea stall, put the tables, chairs, teapots, pots and bowls into the rented cart, and prepared to go back.

"Shall I help you?"

A fairly familiar voice sounded in his ears, and Chu Qingkui looked sideways to see that it was the handsome young man at noon.

"No, I can do it myself." Chu Qingkui shook his head, and the young man didn't care about stretching out his hand and pushing the cart with a good smile: "Where is your home?" ”

Chu Qingkui saw that he insisted on doing so, so he silently led the way in front. The young man didn't care about her pitiful words, but found a conversation by himself: "In Xia Pan Lingyang, dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"Chu Qingkui." She didn't know what the young man's intentions were, but the young man's sunny and cheerful appearance made her unconsciously trust him.

Pan Lingyang was in a good mood and didn't say a word about her and Le Zhengzhao. Pushing the wooden cart with a lot of things all the way with a smile, Chu Qingkui walked over silently when he saw this, and stretched out his hand to help push it together.

Looking at Chu Qingkui's approach, the corners of Pan Lingyang's lips were slightly hooked.

"Here we are."

However, he arrived at the place where Chu Qingkui lived in half an hour, Pan Lingyang silently wrote down this place, and just as he was about to say something, he heard that there seemed to be a noise in the courtyard. Chu Qingkui nodded slightly, turned around and entered the courtyard.

It turned out that the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt's family came again, and they didn't know how they knew about this place, and the two of them were standing in the courtyard and glaring at Chu Yun angrily.

Chu Qingkui took off his hat and walked over to look at the eldest aunt: "Is there something wrong with the eldest uncle and the eldest aunt?" ”

In the face of Chu Qingkui, the two of them could be a little more restrained, but they still didn't have a good face: "Do you still have the face to ask me if there's something?" I just ask you, who asked you to rent out the tea hills? got a bunch of outsiders guarding the tea mountain, and the tea farmers' money ......"

"What else should I do, I can't take care of the tea mountain myself when my father and brother are not at home. I happened to hear that someone wanted to rent a tea mountain and rented it out, but I don't know what it has to do with my uncle and aunt? ”

Chu Qingkui went to the coarse porcelain jar and scooped a sip of water to drink, and the eldest aunt didn't know what to say. The tea mountain was originally also my brother's family, and no one said anything when they secretly took it to sell it in previous years. It's just that I didn't expect Chu Qingkui to rent out the tea mountain this year, and that person also sent a lot of fierce people to surround the tea mountain, even the tea farmers can only come out after paying the tea money.

In this way, their family was cut off from their financial resources, but they ......

"Ahem, Xiao Kui, just now my aunt's tone was not good. Aunt is a little angry in a hurry, you also know that your cousin and cousin are studying in Suzhou, and the expenses over there are large, and it will be a public holiday in just two days, so there is no way for your aunt to do it...... Didn't you catch a badger last time? The fur could be sold for a lot of money. Why don't you give it to your aunt first? ”

The eldest aunt rarely spoke well, but Chu Qingkui didn't appreciate it. In the previous life, it was like this, when the eldest aunt asked for them, she spoke softly, and once she satisfied them, she beat and scolded them. Every time the eldest aunt's rhetoric is the same, because the cousin and cousin are angry, the tone is heavier, and it is not intentional.

Chu Qingkui has heard this reason for more than half a year, and he doesn't plan to believe it.

"Auntie, now we have to spend money ourselves. It costs money to rent a yard, and it costs money to buy firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, and Xiao Ci has also reached the age of going to a private school, and he needs money everywhere in this house. Where do we get the spare money? I've exchanged all the money for the badger skin for the things I need at home. ”

Chu Qingkui's face was cold, and her eldest aunt couldn't hold back for a moment, and shouted at the top of her voice: "Who asked you to move here?" Bad to live in the mountains? How much can you eat as a family with two women and a small child? Why do you need so much money? And Xiao Ci is also a stupid, he went to private school? ”

As soon as the words fell, she saw Chu Qingkui looking at her coldly, and the darkness in her eyes made the fire that the eldest aunt had just rushed up suddenly extinguished.

The eldest uncle on the side saw that his daughter-in-law couldn't suppress this niece, so he helped echo and said: "Your father entrusted you to us, and you should be filial to our family!" Now that your cousin is messing around in Suzhou, when he gets better, are you still afraid that he won't take care of you? What a woman is insightful and short-sighted! ”

Chu Qingkui snorted coldly, and said slowly: "I don't dare to count on it casually, I said that if any of you say bad things about my brother and sister-in-law in front of me again, I will cut your tongues." Auntie, don't you think I don't dare? ”

Chu Qingkui touched the Miao knife on her waist, and the eldest aunt sat on the ground in shock and began to cry wolf: "My niece is going to kill my aunt!" Come and see! ”

A ghost crying wolf howl also caused many neighbors to hear the wind and come to see, Chu Yunshi frowned, where can he watch his sister being bullied and stepped forward to wipe his tears softly: "Good aunt, you can pity our family." All the men in the family went to join the army, but we were two weak women and a child. Money is scarce everywhere in the family, where can you afford your children's private school? ”

Chu Yun's already weak face, and his temperament is also weak, so he is not a powerful character. Coupled with the crying of pear blossoms with rain, the neighbors were talking about the eldest aunt's family for a while.

The eldest aunt didn't know when this woman was so eloquent, so she sat on the ground and pointed at her and muttered something she couldn't speak. The eldest uncle stepped forward and shouted angrily: "Speaking of which, you may have hidden some wild man when you moved out alone!" Otherwise, where will you get the money to buy the yard and buy it? ”

Chu Qingkui's eyes were cold, and he was about to go over when he touched the knife, and Chu Qingci immediately cried when he saw this, louder than the eldest aunt cried. Chu Qingkui was just about to coax him, when he saw his younger brother crying and shouting: "Uncle and aunt are all bad people, bullying sister-in-law and sister-in-law!" ”

Seeing this, Chu Yunshi also said, "Why did we insist on moving out, uncle, didn't have a sense of proportion in his heart? When my father-in-law and father-in-law joined the army, they gave my uncle a sum of silver, please take good care of our family. But after taking the money, he still makes things difficult for me everywhere, and if he gets up early to make a fire and cook a little slowly, it is a verbal scolding, what can we do if we don't move out? Bear with you bullying us? ”

"Even a child as old as Xiao Ci doesn't keep your mouth shut, this yard is a yard rented by Xiao Kui who risked his life to hunt for money, you, as an elder, treat us like this and slander me, what are your intentions, are you willing to give up if you want to force our family to death?"

Chu Yun's words of blood and tears made the people around him feel pitiful. Especially this family is thin and weak, and it doesn't look like a family that lives a good life, so I can't help but feel some sympathy.

Chu Qingkui looked at the change of her sister-in-law, and her heart warmed, now her sister-in-law is also a lot braver, and she is no longer the sister-in-law who beats and scolds. She didn't expect Xiao Ci to be so clever and cry just right.

Chu Yun's side turned around and pulled her to cry, and said to the neighbors around her: "I am weak and incompetent, and my poor sister is only thirteen years old, so she will shoulder the responsibility of the family." The money you want is all the hard-earned money earned by my sister from setting up a copper plate in a tea stall on the street, and you are embarrassed to rob it...... God is pitiful, but our wives and daughters are going to be humiliated by this when my father-in-law and father-in-law fight for the country......"

Chu Qingkui's stall was still at the door, and none of the neighbors around her said that she was a woman who was not polite and showed up to make money, but praised her for being able to support her family at a young age. And the man in this family is going to defend the country, who dares not to respect it? For a while, he pointed at the uncle and aunt and said sarcastically.

When the eldest uncle and aunt saw that there was no benefit, they were even more embarrassed by the discussions, and the two of them could only leave in disgrace.

Seeing them leaving, Chu Yunshi wiped his tears and gently blessed the neighbors at the door: "I'm really sorry for disturbing everyone today, we will all be neighbors in the future, and please take care of your aunts." ”

The neighbors responded enthusiastically, and everyone politely said almost everything and then dispersed, Chu Qingkui went outside to push the cart in, and as soon as he went out, he saw Pan Lingyang still leaning against the wall.

Chu Qingkui didn't know what to say, and it was still a little embarrassing for outsiders to see family affairs.

Pan Lingyang acted as if he hadn't heard anything, straightened up and smiled: "I'm afraid that these things will be lost, so I'll help you look at them for a while, don't be so careless next time." ”

"Thank you." Chu Qingkui was just about to push the cart back, and suddenly remembered something and said, "There is a lot of inconvenience in that family, so I can't invite you in for tea." If I have the chance, I will invite you again. ”

Pan Lingyang nodded, but took it seriously: "Okay, I'm waiting for your tea." ”

Chu Qingkui hummed, and entered the courtyard under Pan Lingyang's gaze.

Chu Yunshi was still wiping her brother's tears, she walked over and chuckled: "Sister-in-law is just so powerful, I thought I was really going to use force with them." ”

"After all, they are elders, and it's not you who will suffer if you use the knife? I always thought that it would be enough to endure it, but today I also figured it out, this person can't endure everywhere, and he should be tough when he should be tough. As an eldest sister-in-law, how can she always let you stand in the way? ”

Chu Yun's rare smile was comfortable, and his younger brother also smirked and applauded over there: "Sister-in-law is the most powerful today, Xiao Ci likes such a sister-in-law." ”

The two of them laughed at the same time when they heard their younger brother say this, this time Chu Yun's clan really wanted to open it. My sister wants to take care of the house, and she can't hold back. If she continues to be weak and can't protect her younger brothers and sisters, she will have no face to say goodbye when her husband comes back. The eldest sister-in-law is a mother, and she can't continue to be weak.

"Sister-in-law, I earned more than 200 copper plates today. And I made a lot of tea this morning, and I can stay at home for a few days recently. Chu Qingkui took out the copper plates in the small wooden box and showed them to his sister-in-law, and then took out dozens of copper plates from it, and gave the rest to his sister-in-law.

"Ming'er, you take Xiao Ci to the city to buy some things, I'll keep these enough. There are also these broken silver leftover from buying tables and chairs, so please keep them with your sister-in-law. Chu Qingkui turned out the broken silver in the small purse again.

Chu Yun didn't answer, and said, "You should also prepare more silver outside in case of emergency." ”

"No, my sister-in-law knows that I am a rough person, where do I know how to spend money? Or is it better to let my sister-in-law keep it, I'm sloppy again, if I lose it, won't the gain outweigh the loss? "Chu Qingkui doesn't love beauty and doesn't taste good, and he doesn't know what to do with the money.

Chu Yun's family also knew that his sister had always been careless, so he accepted the money like this. She thought that she would save for her sister, so that there would be hope for the dowry in the future.
