069 Too much deception
Niu Ju actually said angry words, and was directly rejected by Tan Ji, which made Xiong Lin feel very faceless, so yesterday Xiong Lin came back from Qi's house, he grabbed Niu Ju and scolded him, and kept scolding.
The scolding made Niu Ju feel uncomfortable.
So when Sheng Jiaojiao came to her today, she couldn't control herself and lost her temper at Sheng Jiaojiao.
Sheng Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, stood in front of Niu Ju, and asked:
"In your mind, I'm that kind of friend?"
Although she minded Tan Ji marrying Niu Ju, she was also happy that Tan Ji assured her that she would not marry Niu Ju.
But Sheng Jiaojiao didn't mean to come to see Niu Ju's jokes.
Niu Ju stopped talking, she squatted on the loess, her eyes were red.
In the barrenness, Sheng Jiaojiao saw her like this, turned around and was about to leave, but the corner of her skirt was pulled by Niu Ju.
She stopped and looked down at Niu Ju.
Niu Ju lowered her head and sobbed,
"I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I'm in a bad mood, we're best friends, I am, my aunt keeps scolding me, I, I'm uncomfortable, I'm very uncomfortable."
As she spoke, her tears fell again.
Sheng Jiaojiao looked up at the sky, the wind was blowing with sand, she sighed, she didn't care about Niu Ju's attitude towards her, she only lifted her skirt and sat next to Niu Ju.
Waiting for Niu Ju's crying to be a little quieter, Sheng Jiaojiao asked:
"Niu Ju, do you like Tan Ji?"
Niu Ju, whose eyes were red and swollen, was stunned for a moment, and immediately shook his head and said:
"Of course I don't like it."
"Do you like the man with a dozen sheep?"
Niu Ju's head shook faster, she didn't like Tan Ji either, nor did she like the man with a dozen sheep on the set.
She was sad, just because her aunt scolded her for no one to want, yes, she had no one to want, and the people she liked didn't want her at all.
So Niu Ju's tears flowed out again, she turned her head to look at Sheng Jiaojiao, and cried:
"Jiaojiao, I'm different from you, you are blessed, everyone in your family holds you in the palm of your hand, you don't have to work hard at all, you can get everything I want, you won't understand my feelings, let alone understand how much my father and aunt want me to marry a good family, if, if I can be like you, they don't have to worry about me so much."
Sheng Jiaojiao carefully tasted the meaning of Niu Ju's words, she frowned slightly, tilted her head to look at Niu Ju, in the yellow wind and sand, Sheng Jiaojiao's smoky gray cotton and linen skirt swayed lightly.
She asked:
"Niu Ju, do you like my big brother?"
Niu Ju's face, which was originally crying, suddenly swelled, her swarthy face suddenly swelled red, swollen black and red, and there was a clear light in her eyes with tears.
Then, Niu Ju turned her head violently, not daring to look at Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes.
Looking at her reaction, Sheng Jiaojiao, who was originally just suspicious, had already guessed the person Niu Ju liked.
It turns out that Niu Ju likes Qi Zhang.
Realizing this, Sheng Jiaojiao also didn't know what to say, she thought about it for a long time before asking:
"That day, your grandmother came to ask my grandmother about my eldest brother and you."
"Yes, the old lady said that she would ask Brother Qi what he meant, and then your family never responded."
Niu Ju turned her head again and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with an embarrassed look on her face.
After Xiong Lin came back that day, she told Niu Ju what Mrs. Qi said, saying that she would ask Qi Zhang, but until today, she has not given any reply to the Niu family.
I think that the Qi family is not satisfied with Niu Ju.
Yes, if Qi Zhang meant this to Niu Ju, the two families would be so close to each other, and there would be no need to wait until now.
Niu Ju thought, anyway, he has already talked about this, so let's just say it all.
So, Niu Ju said:
"Jiaojiao, I'm not like you, you are loved by the whole Qi family, you are beautiful, the whole village is saying, the Qi family is raising you as Brother Qi's mother, my aunt naturally hopes that I will marry well, ordinary people come to propose, she can't look down on it, I think I want to marry, I have to marry Brother Tan and Brother Qi, but the Qi family has you, naturally they don't look down on me, so my aunt moved her mind and wanted me to marry Brother Tan."
This point, in fact, Niu Ju and Sheng Jiaojiao can understand it, just like Miss Qi said, who doesn't want their daughter to marry a good family?
As a result, Tan Ji did more than Qi Zhang, and directly in front of Xiong Lin, he refused without thinking about the test.
He made it very clear, he didn't want to say goodbye, he didn't want to marry Niu Ju, he didn't like Niu Ju.
Sheng Jiaojiao sat beside Niu Ju and listened, sweating for Tan Ji.
He is so straightforward and fast-talking, because he has a good temper in the Niu family.
If you meet a bad temper, I'm afraid that the girl's father will have to pick up a knife to cut him.
Sheng Jiaojiao raised her fingers, pressed her eyebrows, and said to Niu Ju:
"I don't know my eldest brother's thoughts, but Tan Ji has always been such a person, he not only rejected you, but also said in person that he didn't want to kiss me."
Seeing Niu Ju's surprised expression, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled again:
"I reacted when I heard this, it was similar to you, quite embarrassing, but then I thought about it, it doesn't matter, I am such a good person, even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I can still support myself, and I will definitely rely on my own ability to make the people around me live well, so he doesn't want me, that's his loss, he has no vision."
Niu Ju was stunned, recalling Sheng Jiaojiao's words, and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao for a long time.
Just when Sheng Jiaojiao thought that Niu Ju couldn't figure it out, Niu Ju suddenly clenched her fists, blushing with anger and having a thick neck, and said:
"Why, on what? Tan Dalang is really like what my aunt said, his eyes have grown to the top of his head? He can't even look down on Jiaojiao, I'm so angry! ”
Because he was angry, Niu Ju didn't even have an honorific title, and directly called Tan Ji Tan Dalang.
Tan Dalang deceived people too much!!
"Mmmmmm, not only does he look down on me, Niu Ju, I also tell you that my eldest brother has always only treated me as his own sister, and it is impossible for him to marry me as a wife."
Sheng Jiaojiao nodded again and again, the friendship of the girl's family is increasing, and the hatred of the same enemy is also a great help, she understands it too well.
Moreover, if her eldest brother meant anything to her, it would have been there a long time ago, how could it have waited until now?
The village has nothing to do, so it loves to chew the root of the tongue.
Niu Ju immediately became angry with Sheng Jiaojiao, and she said angrily:
"There is no man in the world who has long eyes, I can't look down on it, I can't even look down on you, I'm so angry, Jiaojiao, don't be sad, when I see them, I'll beat them up and be angry for you."
"That's not necessary, anyway, no one wants me, so I won't get married, isn't my aunt also unmarried in her life? She is living very well now, neither has to serve her in-laws, nor has a difficult sister-in-law to deal with, excellent, I just want to be the same as my aunt now, in the future, I will find a man to have a child, I don't want him to marry me as a lady, I will take the eldest child alone. ”
As soon as Sheng Jiaojiao said this, Niu Ju was taken aback.
She turned her head to look at Sheng Jiaojiao and glared at the delicate and delicate little woman.
Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao didn't seem to be in a panic, Niu Ju asked cautiously:
"Jiaojiao, do you really think so? But, but."
"There is nothing that cannot be done, is my aunt living a bad life now? No, she is living very well, and I want to be like her, I am now in my own business, I earn my own money to support my family, and I can afford to raise my own children in the future. ”
In this regard, Sheng Jiaojiao seems very confident.
Niu Ju opened her mouth exaggeratedly, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao for a long time, and then seemed to have made up her mind, and stammered:
"That, that, then I want to be like you, well, I want to be like you, since the person I like doesn't like me, then I won't marry, I will make money with you, I just bought the first sheep, and I have to buy a lot of sheep."
"yes, that's right."
Sheng Jiaojiao nodded, stretched out her hand, put her arm on Niu Ju's shoulder, and with her other hand, waved it into the air, and shouted:
"To hell with the men, we can make money to support our families."
"That's it, to hell with it!"
Niu Ju held the horn in both hands and shouted into the air.
After shouting, she giggled again, the honest girl who grew up solidly in the yellow earth of Zhishou County never struggled all day long about whether a man likes her or not.
Once you figure it out, you'll be fine.
Seeing that Niu Ju's mood was relaxed, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and talked to Niu Ju about another thing.
She wants to hire Niu Ju to pick herbs for her.
Because she was afraid that Niu Ju would be suspicious, Sheng Jiaojiao talked about Chen Adi again, saying that Chen Xiong was a big medicine merchant in Daze, and Chen Adi cooperated with Sheng Jiaojiao a few months ago, and planted a batch of medicinal herbs in the col behind the Qi family's house, and now it is the season to pick herbs, so you have to ask someone to pick herbs.
The trees planted in the backyard of the Qi family gradually planted more and more, and the apple trees in the col, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't plan to hide them.
Sheng Jiaojiao took the initiative to talk about the salary, and the salary for a day is the same as the price of selling apples at the market.
"So much money, I'll do it!"
Niu Ju immediately recommended herself, and counted with her fingers:
"Jiaojiao, you don't know, now apples are very popular, and several vendors have told me that if I can supply apples to them for a long time, they will collect all apples at once every day according to the market price, so I don't have to spend so long setting up a stall."
So she had the time to help Sheng Jiaojiao pick medicinal herbs.
Sheng Jiaojiao nodded and said to Niu Ju:
"Then you can earn two wages now, Niu Ju, have you ever thought that you will pay a salary to your aunt every day, and the rest, the extra money I give you, you can use it to buy sheep."
She didn't actually want to influence Niu Ju's thoughts, it was just a suggestion.
Niu Ju lowered her head silently, the expression on her face was a little hesitant, and she stopped talking.
Her aunt treats her well, and everything is planned for her, but every time Niu Ju earns back, a large part of the money will be taken away by her aunt.
Niu Ju actually also struggled, saying that he wanted to make money to buy sheep, but Xiong Lin would reprimand Niu Ju every time, what was the use of spending so much money to buy sheep?
If people can't feed themselves, can they raise sheep well?
The Niu family is a girl in Niu Ju, and the top priority is to find a good man to marry, and let this man help the Niu family.
Xiong Lin even said to Niu Ju very bluntly, if you want to raise sheep, okay, marry a good man, go to the man's house to raise it, the yard of the Niu family has no grass, and it can't raise sheep at all.
She just didn't say it clearly, and asked Niu Ju to seduce Qi Zhang.
To put it bluntly, Xiong Lin's thoughts are deep-rooted, and she feels that the ultimate destination of a woman is to get married!
The conversation fell silent for a while, Sheng Jiaojiao was not reluctant to Niu Ju, the two sat next to each other, sitting on the loess slope, looking at the endless loess in front of them.
The two best friends sat like this for a while, and then went back to their respective homes when it was time for lunch.
As soon as Sheng Jiaojiao got home, she began to check Qi Hua's words.
The boy had finished writing a stack of words in a hurry, and drove the mule to the barracks to deliver the goods, Sheng Jiaojiao had lunch, and then carried the clay jar to the earthen col behind the house.
After fully realizing her abilities, Sheng Jiaojiao began to control her water, and the effects she could make.
She used her own water, mixing most of the water she had brought from the water docks, so that she could control the crops to grow at a normal rate.
Instead of growing all of them overnight, it can also ensure that those crops are well hydrated and the color is fresh.
So now Sheng Jiaojiao has started to grow vegetables in the col again.
For Sheng Jiaojiao, growing crops has never been a problem, the problem is that there is no manpower.
After watering the side vegetables, Sheng Jiaojiao found a place in this col, sprinkled a little medicinal seeds, and watered the water several times, and in the afternoon, Niu Ju came back from the set to deliver apples, and he could bring Niu Ju to pick herbs.
This can only be done once, because once Niu Ju knows the place of the soil col, the second head will come again, and the growth rate of the crops here will be roughly grasped.
Who knows, when Sheng Jiaojiao was done, she had just returned to Qi's house with a clay jar on her back, and saw Niu Ju with red and swollen eyes, standing in the yard of her house waiting for her.
"What's wrong?"
Sheng Jiaojiao was frightened by Niu Ju's appearance, hurriedly put down the clay jar and greeted her, and pulled Niu Ju into her room.
Under inquiry, Niu Ju cried and intermittently explained the reason.
It turned out that her uncle came to borrow money, and Xiong Lin lent all the money Niu Ju had earned over the past few days to her uncle.
"Borrowed them all?"
Sheng Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, and when she saw Niu Ju crying and nodded, she sat on the edge of the kang and asked:
"So what do you want to do? Shall we go and get the money back? ”
"I, I."
Some Niu Ju, who was at a loss, thought about it for a long time before saying to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"I thought, forget the old money."
"Forget it?"
Hearing this, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Niu Ju, she was not surprised that Niu Ju would have such a choice.
Sometimes this person is too honest and angry, if this happened to Sheng Jiaojiao, she would have already instructed Qi Huan to get the money back from the hands of the Xiong Lin brothers.
I haven't had a good life, where is there so much money to lend to others?
