Chapter Twenty-Eight: Uncle Zhao's Illness

There is also a reason why the person named Lian Xiang hates Qi Ling so much.

Since her father married her another stepmother, her mind has changed, and people say that if she has a stepmother, she will have a stepfather, but this is not a lie. After that, the two abused her all day long, and if something didn't go their way, they beat and scolded.

Once, because she accidentally burned the rice, the stepmother took a rolling pin and dragged her out into the street and beat her in front of the villagers.

At that time, she was only thirteen or fourteen years old, the little girl's family had the best face, and she felt that there was no hope in life, no matter how she looked at life, she was just suffering, and instead of living in bitter water all day long, it was better to be ruthless and die.

So she took advantage of her stepmother's unpreparedness, pushed her away, ran to the river in one go, and prepared to commit suicide by jumping into the river.

At this time, Gu Jinfeng happened to pass by in a carriage, and when he saw someone falling into the water, he didn't have time to think about it, so he rescued the person, and from then on, Hexiang's heart was all tied to him.

She inquired about Gu Jinfeng little by little, and after knowing his life experience, she only felt that she was a person with a hard life like him, so she should be together to warm each other, and even a few times she ran to Gu Jinfeng's side and wanted to say a few words to him.

But Gu Jinfeng didn't understand the relationship between men and women at all, and after he saved people that day, he left this matter behind, and he didn't even remember what Hexiang looked like.

So when Hexiang came up to talk to him, he wondered who this person was, so he asked her, but Hexiang saw that he didn't even remember his name, so he ran home crying.

In the future, Hexiang will never go to Gu Jinfeng's side again, but she still pays attention to his every bit in private, and then Qi Ling was rescued by Gu Jinfeng by mistake, and she didn't leave as soon as she lived in his house, although she claimed to be Gu Jinfeng's sister, but Hexiang didn't think it was, she thought that Qi Ling had taken a fancy to Gu Jinfeng and wanted to rely on him.

So after Qi Ling released the news that she was going to recruit workers, she told her stepmother that she was coming to earn wages, but in fact, she wanted to see what kind of person Qi Ling was, and she could be with Gu Jinfeng.

She hates Qi Ling! Even Qi Ling opened a workshop, she felt that she was taking Gu Jinfeng's money, and later heard Qi Ling say that she had bought the land, and Hexiang's first thought was that Gu Jinfeng bought it for her.

It can only be said that the truth of Hexiang was unintentional, but although the land was indeed bought by Gu Jinfeng, the money was given by Qi Ling with the money he used to sell the house.

But Hexiang didn't know, she now felt that Qi Ling was a very treacherous person, taking Gu Jinfeng's money and squandering it, when she heard that everyone had fifty copper plates, she felt sorry for Gu Jinfeng! I feel that Qi Ling is a sentence that men in the village often scold women: Losers!

She made up her mind to expose Qi Ling's true face when she worked here, and let Gu Jinfeng know what kind of person Qi Ling was.

After Qi Ling paid the money, he let the workers go home, they were all laborers in the family, and they had to cook when they went home, and the family would be hungry after a long delay here.

After everyone was almost gone, Qi Ling took out the wages for the peach blossom mother and daughter, the others were fifty, and the two of them were seventy.

Aunt Zhao felt that Qi Ling gave too much, and just about to refuse, Qi Ling stuffed the salary into her hand.

said: "Give you a person seventy, and you will have to worry about it for me in the future, and these workers will be divided into two groups in the future, Peach Blossom, you lead the girl and the young daughter-in-law, Aunt Zhao, you lead a few aunts and aunts, and in the future, this workshop will depend on the two of you, so you are not taking this salary for nothing." ”

After speaking, Qi Ling took out another twenty copper plates from his pocket, and at this time, the rent of the yard that had been agreed before.

But these twenty texts, Aunt Zhao refused to accept them, not to say that they didn't use the yard today, if Qi Ling gave them hard, they would be too hot to receive them.

Seeing this, Qi Ling could only give up, and instead told the two of them what he would do tomorrow, "Tomorrow peach blossoms, you continue to take people up the mountain to pick flowers, Aunt Zhao, you lead people to spread out the wild jasmine at home to dry, and the red and blue flowers will be ground into mud, and I will deal with it when the time comes." ”

Seeing Qi Ling's order, the two didn't think much about it, only nodded in agreement.

Before leaving, Qi Ling suddenly remembered that Gu Jinfeng said that when the time came to build a house, he would have to find another person to cook.

She is not familiar with the people in the village, how do she know who can cook, so she still has to ask Aunt Zhao for help.

"Aunt Zhao, is there anyone in our village who can cook a big pot of rice? As you know, our family is about to start building a house, and I still have to be busy with the affairs of our workshop, so I can't be busy, and I want to find someone to help me make a big pot of rice for the people who build the house. ”

Qi Ling asked with a pleading expression.

"Big pot rice, mother, didn't my father make it before?" Hearing Qi Ling say this, Peach Blossom suddenly asked Aunt Zhao.

Aunt Zhao hesitated, nodded, and explained: "Miss Qi Ling, your Uncle Zhao was indeed a well-known cook in these ten miles and eight villages before he got sick, but since he got sick, he stayed in the house all day and never cooked again. ”

Uncle Zhao? Although Qi Ling has come to Aunt Zhao's house a lot of times, she has never seen him.

Seeing that Qi Ling was a little curious, Aunt Zhao sighed and walked into the house, ready to invite Uncle Zhao out.

"Peach Blossom, what's wrong with your father?"

Qi Ling has always heard Peach Blossom say that her father is seriously ill, what is the serious illness that makes him not even get out of the door? It's a strange thing.

But seeing Peach Blossom, he just shook his head, "I don't know, it's just that my father can't see the living, and when he sees it, he will speak abnormally and tremble, and my mother took my father to see a lot of doctors, but he didn't cure his illness." ”

At this time, Aunt Zhao came out with Uncle Zhao in her arms, because he had not been exposed to the sun all year round, his skin was very pale, and he walked, one high and one low, which made Qi Ling move his eyes to his legs.

This Uncle Zhao is disabled?

Peach Blossom just said that he can't see the living?

These two key pieces of news were carefully analyzed by Qi Ling in his mind, and in this way, Qi Ling had a thought in her heart, she probably knew what kind of illness Uncle Zhao was suffering from.

Seeing Qi Ling, a living person, Uncle Zhao's eyes began to dodge, and his body trembled slightly.

When Aunt Zhao saw him like this, she clinged to Uncle Zhao's ear and comforted him little by little in a soft voice.

"Boss, this is Miss Qi Ling, don't be afraid, it's her who has helped our family a lot, Peach Blossom and I are working in her workshop, this is a good person, I won't hurt you." You can also have a few words with her. ”

Uncle Zhao was appeased by Aunt Zhao for a while, and his body stopped shaking, and his eyes no longer dodged, looking at Qi Ling with a puzzled gaze.
