Erniang remembered that there was still a fire burning in the stove room, and she went out of the room in a hurry.

Xu Weiqiu sat on the edge of Erniang's bed, looking at herself through the mirror, her face was covered with large and small pimples, red and swollen, and it looked quite scary at a glance.

In fact, this skin is good, it belongs to the bone beauty, aside from anything else, as long as you look carefully, you can see that her appearance is not bad...... The facial contours, nose and lips are all just right, especially the slender eyes.

It's just that no matter how good the face is, she has almost made it herself, for more than two years, she has been to the market every day to do business, under the long-term exposure to the sun, the skin has darkened, spots are not a problem, and often dry and cracked and peeling, even if there is no acne caused by these allergies on the face, this face is also miserable.

Xu Weiqiu went out of the house, took a basin and scooped water from the water tank, and after washing her face with a face towel, the whole thing was much more refreshing, she washed the face towel and washed it, wrung out the water and hung it back in place, and when she turned her head, she saw her sister-in-law Hongyan standing not far behind her staring at her.

"Sister-in-law, do you want to fetch water?" She asked.

Hongyan shook her head: "I'll wash my face too." ”

"Cheng, I've washed it, come on." She turned and walked away, and without taking two steps, she remembered that she had left a few muddy footprints at the door, and thought of using the water that had washed her face to clean the bricks at the door, so she turned back, only to see her sister-in-law fiddling with the face towel on the side.

There was a hemp rope hanging next to the basin, and the whole family's face towels were hung on it, but seeing Hongyan, she moved the face towel close to her with a look of disgust.

Xu Weiqiu didn't squeak, walked over and glanced at Hongyan quietly, and said, "Sister-in-law, don't worry, these acne on my face will not be contagious." ”。

Hearing this, Hongyan glanced at her: "You are not a doctor, it doesn't matter if you say that it is contagious or not, it is better to pay attention." ”

Xu Weiqiu nodded: "Cheng, I will pay attention." ”

Hearing her say this, Hongyan walked away.

Xu Weiqiu put away his face towel, picked up the basin and walked out, and saw Hongyan enter Rong's house, and after a while, there was a burst of laughter in the house, and Xu Xiaoke was also in the house.

Xu Weiqiu knew that only Erniang was preparing dinner in the stove room, she walked quickly to the door to rinse the stepping stone in front of the door and then walked to the stove room, and heard Erniang's cough from a distance, and she couldn't help but pinch her heart.

At that time, Erniang was forced to go on the road by Rong's before her legs and feet were well, and she suffered a serious cold and serious illness on the road. When Xu Weiqiu came to their ancestral house in Mozhou, the Zhang family was already dying, and the Xu family almost didn't prepare for her.

Xu Weiqiu took a lot of effort to pull the person back from the ghost gate, and the person was alive, but he also fell into a serious illness.

Walking into the stove room, I saw Erniang bending over and coughing constantly, looking very painful.

Xu Weiqiu hurriedly stepped forward to pat her on the back: "Erniang, why are you coughing again?" Didn't you drink any medicine? ”

Erniang coughed so hard that she couldn't breathe, and she couldn't say a word for a while.

Xu Weiqiu helped her aside, found a bench for her to sit down, and kept patting her on the back until she stopped coughing.

Zhang Shi gasped and secretly glanced at her, and explained to her with a guilty face: "I have seen a lot of people recently, and I don't think there is any need to spend that unjust money to decoction a few less pills." ”

"That's not feasible, you have to drink how the doctor explains, you can't save this money." Xu Weiqiu's tone was unusually stern.

Zhang had to nod obediently.

Xu Weiqiu untied the cloth bag pinned to his belt and handed over all the money he earned today to Zhang's hands.

Zhang's hand was holding a heavy cloth bag, and his eyes turned red all of a sudden: "You work so hard every day, all the money you earn is spent on me, you are a fourteen-year-old girl, and you don't have any dowry, how can it be good?" Qiu'er, it's Erniang who dragged you down. ”

Xu Weiqiu stretched out his arms and hugged her: "Erniang, what are you talking about, what is not dragging down, you are my Erniang, I should honor you." ”

As soon as the words fell, Zhang's coughed again, Xu Weiqiu asked her to sit outside, don't let the smoke choke, and work alone in the stove room.

She has neat hands and feet, and she hasn't worked much effort, and she has already fried several dishes.

After getting it done, Erniang was responsible for setting the table, Xu Weiqiu planned to go back to the house to change clothes, as soon as she entered the house, she saw that it was a mess inside, the bed board was full of Xu Xiaoke's clothes, and the quilt she folded before going out in the morning fell to the ground.

She picked up the quilt, patted the ash on it, folded it, and just put it away, out of the corner of her eye caught a glimpse of a familiar fist-sized wooden cork under the bed.

She screamed in her heart, and then fell to the ground, reached under the bed, and pulled out a crockpot, which was indeed empty.

Xu Weiqiu rushed into Rong's bedroom with an empty jar and a rage, and the conversation and laughter in the room came to an abrupt end because of her arrival.

Rong couldn't help frowning when he saw her, and opened his mouth to accuse: "Xu Weiqiu, who let you in." ”

Xu Weiqiu didn't look at her, raised the crockpot in his hand, and asked Xu Xiaoke, who was sitting in front of Rong's, "Xu Xiaoke, did you take the copper coin here?" ”

Seeing her menacing appearance, Xu Xiaoke shrank his shoulders a little weakly: "What money?" I don't even know what you are? ”

Xu Weiqiu already expected that she would not admit it.

"I'll put this money jar under the bed, who else would you have taken it?" This Xu Xiaoke's hands and feet are not clean, and it is not once or twice that he steals her things.

"Who took your stuff? Do you have credentials? Xu Weiqiu, don't spew blood without evidence......" Xu Xiaoke was lazy, Xu Weiqiu's sharp eyes found that she had a hairpin on the top of her head that she had never seen before, and her appearance was quite chic.

She didn't bother to talk nonsense with her, so she stepped forward and took the hairpin down without saying a word.

"Yike...... What are you doing? Xu Xiaoke jumped up and wanted to snatch it back.

How could Xu Weiqiu get her wish, and dodge it all at once.

"Give me my money back, and I'll give you back this hairpin." Leaving these words, she turned her head and left without looking back.

The beloved thing was taken away, and Xu Xiaoke was so anxious that he jumped there: "Mother, look at that dead girl...... It's really lawless. ”

The bride Hongyan stood aside dumbfounded, since she got married, seeing that the sister-in-law only worked on weekdays and didn't talk much, she thought she was a bully, but she never thought that she would have such a strong side......

Xu Weiqiu came to the stove to serve soup, Xu Xiaoke followed, slapped his hand on the stove, and slapped the half-hanging money on the stove: "The money will be returned to you, and my hairpin will be returned quickly." ”
