The chief has a son, and his daughter-in-law died last year and has not remarried.

"Honest, willing to do it..."Sister-in-law Xie said with a smile.

Liu Meibao stuck to the crack of the door, and only saw the back of Song Sanniang, but couldn't see her expression.

"....I know that your family was before..."Sister-in-law Xie saw that Song Sanniang did not speak, and after thinking for a moment, she continued, "... But right now... The girl is not small....although she is a farmer, but there is no shortage of food and clothing at home, although she is older, she is honest......"

"Do you think Qingya is okay?" Song Sanniang said suddenly, raising her head.

Xie Niangzi and Liu Meibao were both stunned.

"My girl, it's not good.," Song Sanniang said.

"What? Sanniang, you still can't look down on it..."Sister-in-law Xie's face was slightly ugly.

"I can't be the master if I don't look at it." Song Sanniang said lightly, her voice lowered.

Liu Meibao stuck to the crack of the door and didn't hear what she said next, only to see Xie Niangzi's expression change.

"..... this girl, although she was born as a girl, she was bought since she was a child, and she grew up with my girl...."Song Sanniang said lightly, "It's said that it's a girl, and the food and clothing are not much worse than other girls......"

Sister-in-law Xie pursed her lips and didn't speak, her eyes flashed, obviously summing up.

"Then I'll go back and ask—" she pondered for a moment, then stood up and said.

Song Sanniang nodded and stood up to see her off.

Zhou Liangyu and Qingya walked over with a large bundle of firewood on their backs, and greeted them with a smile.

Sister-in-law Xie smiled at Mimi and looked at Qingya fiercely, and Qingya who only looked at it felt furious.

"What is this flowery woman doing?" Qingya put down the firewood, looked at Liu Meibao who came out of the house, scratched her head and asked puzzled.

Liu Meibao hesitated for a moment and glanced at Song Sanniang.

"I'll tell you about my door." Song Sanniang said.

Qingya was stunned for a moment and didn't react.

"Mother, to whom? Which one? Zhou Liangyu asked, with some surprise on his face.

"The son of the Sato family....." Song Sanniang said.

Before the words fell, the young girl who reacted over there knelt down for Song Sanniang.

"Uncle, don't you, Qingya...", she kowtowed and cried with a pale face.

"Mother, the son of the Li Chang's family...."Zhou Liangyu frowned.

"Isn't it just ugly and older...."Mrs. Song San snorted, "It's good to have food and clothing, what else do you pay attention to..."

Qingya cried even louder, turned around and knelt to hug Liu Meibao's legs.

"Girl, girl, don't leave girl..."

Liu Meibao hurriedly stretched out her hand to pat and comfort her, while asking something in a low voice, but she couldn't get an answer because of Qingya's crying.

"Mother," Zhou Liangyu bit her lower lip, took a few steps closer to Song Sanniang, and said in a low voice, ".. I heard that the man's former daughter-in-law was beaten to death by him......"

Song Sanniang's face was slightly gloomy, and she glared at him, "Don't talk nonsense to me..." ”

Qingya's crying suddenly stopped, and she looked at Song Sanniang with a little fear.

"A little slave, don't say I want you to marry, but what if I sell you? How can you cry and cry! Song Sanniang shouted.

Qingya's face was gloomy, and she seemed to remember that she was a slave.

Slaves and maids have no rights, life and death are in the hands of the master's family, let alone marriage.

In the middle of the night, Liu Meibao rolled up the last piece of bark, walked into the house, and looked at the green girl curled up on the wooden board in the corner, facing the small shoulders shaking, obviously crying in a low voice.

"Qingya..."Liu Meibao walked over, sat down on the wooden board, and called in a low voice, "You don't want to marry?" ”

It is true that Liu Meibao can't use her own ideas to consider Qingya, what kind of love and spiritual pursuit, etc., is not suitable for her, a native of the ancients, the reason why she didn't open her mouth to express her opinion during the day is to remember a network crossing novel she once read, that is, the heroine was kind enough to consider the maid and rejected the maid's opportunity to be a concubine, but she was hated by the maid and thought that her future marriage was ruined.

Arsenic of A and honey of B, she dare not and cannot make decisions for anyone.

What's more, from Xie Niangzi's words, I heard that the conditions of the chief family here are good, at least they don't have to worry about food and clothing, but I didn't expect Qingya's reaction to be so big.

"Girl," Qingya whimpered in a low voice.

"If you don't want to marry, you won't marry, what's a big deal.." Liu Meibao smiled and stroked her head.

"Girl... True.. It's true? Qingya raised her head sharply and looked at the girl in disbelief.

Liu Meibao nodded, "What's true or false about this, how can you joke about such a big thing." ”

Qingya opened her mouth and looked at Liu Meibao in a daze, her family was poor, she didn't even think about the oil lamp at night, there was only a little starlight in the room, and she couldn't see each other's expressions clearly, but the still thin figure in front of her brought her unprecedented peace of mind.

"Girl...", she cried out loud and hugged Liu Meibao.

Early the next morning, before Liu Meibao went to Song Sanniang to tell her about it, Sister-in-law Xie came to the door.

"The girl got up so early.." She greeted Mimi with a smile, her eyes swept around Liu Meibao, and she couldn't help but be a little flattered when she saw this girl smiling at herself, since this family came here, this girl has hardly been out of the door, and occasionally sees it through the door, and she can't even see what she looks like, let alone give a smile.

Although he was wearing a cloth linen, he couldn't hide his beautiful appearance, which was completely different from these rural women from the inside out.

It's a pity....Sister-in-law Xie almost couldn't help but sigh twice, and then saw the green girl standing at the door of the house, the little girl looked timid, and looked at the eyes like a little rabbit, tsk... More than the above, more than the bottom.

"Girl..."Sister-in-law Xie opened her mouth to speak.

"I don't know how much this rent will cost?" Liu Meibao said suddenly.

"What about the rent.. The whole family...."Sister-in-law Xie was stunned for a moment and said with a smile.

"Don't you dare, my brother still settles accounts, how can I live in the house that grows in for nothing." Liu Meibao said with a smile.

Sister-in-law Xie felt that something was wrong when she heard her words, and when she saw that Song Sanniang also came out at this time, she hurriedly said, "I'll say something to Sanniang.."

"If you talk about Qingya, you don't need to." Liu Meibao said with a smile, while looking back at the Qingya who was standing tightly holding the door, "One Qingya is still young, and second, I can't leave her, so there is no need to talk about getting married." ”

As soon as these words came out, Sister-in-law Xie and Song Sanniang were stunned.

"Where is your place to speak!" Song Sanniang came back to her senses, anger appeared on her face, and she sneered.

Sister-in-law Xie also laughed dryly, but did not speak again.

"My girl, I naturally have a part to speak." Liu Meibao still said with a smile, "Uncle, aren't you just worried about the rent, how much money, let's raise it, it's not just to the point of paying off debts with people." ”
