Chapter 19: Cleverness

At the end of the movie, the group still left unsatisfied.

On the way, we talked about the content of the movie first, and while talking, Dong Lamei pulled Li Qiao to the front, intentionally or unintentionally asking Li Qiao how much balance the family had at the end of the year.

Qin Jin thought about something bad.

Fools must know everything. Dong Lamei looks reasonable, but in fact, she is dark, knowing that he is unwilling to marry Li Qiao, and strongly asks him to give a bride price of one hundred and one in a hundred, and it will not work for a single point.

It caused him to borrow money from everywhere.

The old woman took the money, and when the outsiders asked, they belittled Li Qiao's reputation and it would be good for someone to marry, what kind of bride price would she take?

When others heard it, they all thought she was good, and they competed for a blind date with Li Jinhua.

If it weren't for Li Qiao's face, Li Jinhua's touching of him would have spread throughout the entire commune, and it is estimated that he would not be able to marry in this life.

But Li Qiao's answer was beyond his expectations: "I don't know much about grandma's accounts, I heard from the people in the village that it took a lot of money to get married, and I owe a lot of debts outside." If you have money, you can use it to pay off your debts. Did you take the bride price for Ah Jin's next appointment? This is the money that belongs to our little couple to live, and you have to pay it back to us. "Actually, on the day of the wedding, it should be put in her box and let her take it back to her in-law's house.

But she rummaged through the boxes, except for a few cheap sheets, two quilts.

Nothing.

When the sound fell, Dong Lamei was stunned, and stammered for a long time: "Bride price....... Isn't the bride price for me and your father? Your eldest sister and second sister didn't bring back the bride price. ”

Li Qiao thought about it and made sense, although Dong Lamei was a stepmother, she had raised the original owner and provided her with education, and they had no pension and lacked the guarantee of a long stream, so they really needed money.

She groaned.

Li Qiao didn't pursue it, Dong Lamei had the confidence again, and mentioned how many gifts her daughter gave during the New Year.

Li Qiao felt uncomfortable, what do you mean? Don't like her for giving few gifts?

At that time, Qin Jin went out, and the team was idle, earning less than twenty centimeters a week.

The meat and eggs prepared by my grandmother were extravagant in terms of the conditions of the house, and she thought that she had fulfilled the courtesy. She couldn't help but say, "Then why don't you marry me to their man?" ”

Dong Lamei: "......."

Qin Jin was angry and funny, disgusted that he was poor, and when he was rich, he threw money in her face every day, which made her dizzy.

"Third sister, the third brother-in-law is still there." Li Jinhua reminded in a low voice.

Li Qiao looked back, Qin Jin and his fox friends were talking and laughing, what about the distance, how could he take care of her? She winked at him, but said, "I can't hear you." Otherwise, with his temper, he would have jumped up and cursed.

……

to the three-way intersection.

Qin Jin's friends asked him to drink, and Li Qiao quietly told him that it was too cold to sleep alone and needed him.

Qin Jin immediately disagreed with the drink.

He had to cover his daughter-in-law with the quilt, freeze her, and treat her, which was worrying and costly.

After Li Qiao said goodbye to Dong Lamei, he and Qin Jin went home side by side.

With no one around, she took the initiative to hold his hand again. He shook it off: "Didn't you think I was poor just now?" ”

Li Qiao: "......." Did he prick up his ears to listen? She cheekily stretched out her hand again: "Just kidding, don't be angry." ”

The young tsundere turned his face away, but did not withdraw his hand.

Li Qiao's eyes flashed with a hint of smugness, and he took two steps closer to him, and was about to speak, when Qin Jin covered her mouth and pointed to the left front.

Li Qiao saw a person motionless and dragged on the ground by another person with both hands behind him, like a murder case staged on TV and throwing a corpse.

Qin Jin pulled her to squat down and used the weeds on the side of the road to block her figure: "I'll go and see if it's a murder or a steal." ”

Li Qiao didn't allow: "It's too dangerous, what if the other party has a knife?" Moreover, you will leave footprints in the past. If you do kill someone, you are likely to be listed as a suspect if you fail to catch the murderer. ”

Although there is her as a witness.

But relatives can't be involved in testifying, right?

Even if his innocence is finally proven, he will have to squat.

She said, "Let's go back to the village and call someone." ”

Qin Jin's eyes were approving: "I didn't expect you to be quite smart." "But sometimes it's stupid.

Li Qiao pursed his lips and smiled, and when the two of them unified their countermeasures, there would be no one in front of them.

Qin Jin didn't plan to go over to check after her reminder, and when he went home, his neighbors were asleep, so he didn't tell anyone.

Li Qiao thought about calling the police, but there was not a single phone in the entire village.

Unless you go to the police station in person, it is easy to fall off the bicycle with a black light, and the walking distance is too far.

And if it is not a homicide, it is suspected of reporting a false case.

You have to be punished, right?

Li Qiao slept with a lot of worries, overslept the next day, and when he woke up, it was already dawn. She was the only one in the house, she cleaned up and washed, and when she didn't see Qin Jin in the yard, she asked the old lady.

"What the hell? If you're hungry, you'll come back. ”

Said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived.

Qin Jin put his hands in his trouser pockets, and went into the courtyard and gossiped. "Did you hear that? Feng Guangzhu beat his little daughter-in-law, her nose was blue and her face was swollen, it is said that her daughter-in-law is not a yellow flower girl. ”

Mr. Li declined to comment.

In short, if he is violent, she promises that he can't find her if he runs away from the dog.

Old Mrs. Qin sympathized: "I don't want to send people back, why are you beating people?" ”

Qin Jin: "Which man is willing to pick up other people's leftovers?" "It's just him, when the little daughter-in-law cries, he feels distressed and uncomfortable.

The little hand took the initiative to lead him, and he was so happy that he couldn't even sleep.

Hey, it's not promising!

Old Mrs. Qin: "I didn't force him to pick it up, the old bachelor is a bachelor, there is a daughter-in-law who is secretly having fun, what are you doing with your picking?" ”

Li Qiao smiled, she really suspected that the old lady graduated from the women's boxing class.

After the meal, Li Qiao quietly discussed with Qin Jin about calling the police.

"Still thinking about it?" Qin Jin told her that he climbed the top of the tree early in the morning and borrowed the telescope and didn't see a ghost at the location last night.

Li Qiao's heart is still hairy, who will drag people away if they are playing?

Tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve.

The old lady took out the pen and ink red paper and asked Li Qiao to write a few couplets. "I used to write it, but in the past two years, my eyes have become more and more unclear, old man."

Li Qiao silently decided to use the red envelopes he received to go into the city to buy a pair of reading glasses for the old lady.

She unfolded the red paper cut, and wrote three paintings with a pen dipped in ink.

I wrote a few more blessing words.

Old Mrs. Qin watched from the sidelines, and praised the beautiful handwriting. "You have to practice the word Qiao Qiao for many years, right? He is handsome and talented, and he is really cheap for my stinky boy. ”

Qin Jin was not convinced: "Grandma, you can praise it, what are you doing every time you belittle me?" I don't have any confidence at all. ”

Old Mrs. Qin was happy: "It's boring to boast, you have to let others praise." ”

Qin Jin: "......."

Li Qiao laughed out loud, he wanted a good reputation, unless he changed places.

Li Qiao hung the couplet, and Peng Chunhua came to the door with her waist straight.

Old Mrs. Qin quipped: "This is pregnant, and she is pregnant all of a sudden." ”

Peng Chunhua said with a smile: "No, since I confirmed it from the doctor, I feel that my stomach is heavy, and my mother found a fortune teller for me early this morning, it is a boy." When did Qiao Qiao give birth to one? ”

"Wait until the conditions at home are good."

"What kind of conditions do you want to have for the three of you? Only by having a few more children can we create good conditions. Peng Chunhua said.

Li Qiao felt that he couldn't communicate with Peng Chunhua, smiled politely, and cleaned up the pen, ink and paper on the table.
