Marrying into a poor family

The old lady said that Qin Xiang was the person most like her.

But Qin Xiang herself felt that it was a bit different. At least, the old lady was more selfless. The old lady was willing to give up a lot for the Qin family, and even let go of Mrs. Qin Si who hurt her son.

Qin Xiang thought that if someone hurt her mother, Xiao Chenyu and Lu Er, she would make that person pay a heavy price, even if they both died together.

The old lady of the Qin family's yard has been closed for a long time. Everyone is accustomed to it. Most of the time, they ignore that there is an ancestor in the family.

But this was not the case in the past few months. Because someone suddenly moved in and stayed there for more than four months, the Qin family became more and more restless.

Every morning when I wake up, I have to ask: "Is there any movement in the old lady's house?"

Every night when I come back from outside, I always ask: "Is it still the same in the old lady's house today?"

When everyone forgot about it again, the old lady sent people to each room.

Mrs. Qin Er called her nephew's daughter-in-law Qin Shao.

Qin Shao entered the Sun family and became the wife of the Sun family. She was in charge of the Sun family's household affairs and shop, so that Sun Donghai could study with peace of mind.

After Qin Xiongfei passed away, Qin Shao and Sun Donghai also moved out to live in the Sun family's old house. It was not very justified to return to the Qin family.

If you move around as your natal family, the fourth room has been vacant and no one has been there for a long time. If the second wife's relatives come around, the second wife will be lukewarm towards Qin Shao and is unwilling to see her.

As a result, Qin Shao has not returned to the Qin family for a long time. As a relative of the second wife, Qin Shao's life after marriage was not easy. She had to carefully calculate her money and support Sun Donghai's concubine and concubine.

But her life was easier than Qin Yan's. At least Sun Donghai was very good to her. She had the final say at home, and her concubines were also honest and would not cause trouble with her.

There is no wealth and glory, but there is peace and smoothness. Qin Shao is content.

But when she faced the second wife, she still couldn't let go and sat down quite cautiously.

But the strange thing is that the second wife, who always mocked him in a sarcastic way, was uncharacteristically friendly today and even asked the maid to serve some new tea for Qin Shao to taste.

Qin Shao was originally a smart woman. She looked grateful and chatted and laughed, but in fact she was secretly vigilant.

"Aunt's tea is really good, it's fragrant and sweet, it's really good!" Qin Shao didn't know much about tea, so she learned some rough words of praise from Sun Donghai, but they were just for show.

"I think this tea is delicious, so I will take some back home to drink slowly later. I will also take some tea back later for the children to eat and play with."

Mrs. Qin Er smiled lightly, but concealed the disdain in her eyes.

How could she not see that Qin Shao's performance was not worthy of the stage? If it had been in the past, she would definitely have said with a downcast face that Qin Shao, on the surface, was teaching her, but in fact, she just didn't like her. A concubine who was raised outside actually used a trick to take away the position of her nephew's head wife. She I can't take this breath.

But Qin Shao is a powerful person. Now she has taken care of the Sun family in an orderly manner, and she has also taken care of the concubine given to Sun Donghai by Mrs. Qin Er. However, Mrs. Qin Shao is a little uninterested and unwilling to continue to deal with Qin Shao.

Seeing that the atmosphere was almost heated, Mrs. Qin Er asked: "Do you still have contact with Qin Xiang? How is your relationship now?"

Qin Shao put down half of the pastry in her hand and took out a silk handkerchief to wipe the pastry crumbs on her hand, but her mind was racing: Sure enough, the second wife was looking for him because of Qin Shao's affairs.

Qin Shao knew that Qin Xiang was back, and she also knew that Qin Xiang had gone to the old lady's house and stayed there for several months. Sun Donghai also asked his cousins ​​about it, but he didn't know what Qin Xiang was doing in the old lady's house.
The Lu family also stood still, so Qin Xiang should not be in danger.

Of course, even if Qin Xiang was in danger, Qin Shao and his wife had nothing to do. At most, they could not sleep well or eat, and after a while, they gradually forgot about it.

She and Qin Xiang really didn't have much contact. During the Chinese New Year, Qin Shao gave Qin Xiang some new year's gifts and asked Qiao San to help send them to the capital. When Qiao San came back, Qin Xiang also gave gifts in return, but... It's very regular, just like ordinary relatives.

But if I tell Mrs. Qin that the relationship between the two families is not deep, will the second Mrs. Qin believe her? If she believed it, would she feel incompetent?

Taking the opportunity to wipe her hands and rinse her mouth, Qin Shao cleared her mind.

He smiled and answered Mrs. Qin Er: "Aunt, Qin Xiang and I are sisters. Even though she went to the capital and we didn't have much contact, we are still close to each other."

She said that the two families did not have much contact, but she also gave the second wife a little hope that she and Qin Xi still had feelings.

The second wife pondered for a moment, then called Qin Shao to sit next to her.

Qin Shao was a little confused. This was the first time she sat so close to the second wife.

"Yesterday, someone was sent from the old lady's house to ask us to go over and see the old lady."

Qin Shao nodded, but was even more confused as to what happened that made the second wife so upset.

"The old lady has something in her hand, but she has been refusing to give it to us. Now, it seems that she has given it to Qin Xiang." The second wife's words were full of resentment and jealousy.

After Qin Shao heard this, she was a little envious and a little jealous, but she quickly adjusted her mentality. Anyway, if she didn't give it to Qin Xiang, it wouldn't be Qin Shao's turn, so it was better for Qin Xiang to get it.

The second wife continued: "What the old lady gave Qin Xiang turned out to be a secret book of fragrant recipes."

Qin Shao covered her mouth and almost made a sound in surprise. She finally swallowed her exclamation and asked as calmly as possible: "Why should the Qin family's secret book be given to Qin Shao instead of the descendants of the Qin family?"

Not to mention that Qin Xiang is the daughter of another family, she has not even recognized the Qin family. Besides, she is a daughter, and a married daughter is from another family. Of course, such secrets should be passed on to her own male talents. Yes, now that it is given to Qin Xiang, what is going on?

I have to say that Qin Shao was really jealous, but of course, she didn't hate him.

"None of us can guess what the old lady is thinking. But..." the second wife frowned and continued: "However, the old lady asked Qin Xi to accept an apprentice in the Qin family, and promised that this secret book cannot be taught to outsiders, but only to others. Give it to this apprentice."

Qin Shao breathed a sigh of relief and nodded clearly. As expected of an old lady, she still had some tricks up her sleeve.

"This apprentice candidate will be chosen among the next generation of our family. That is, among my grandchildren."

Qin Shao understood and asked: "The children in the fourth room are still young, so I'm afraid they won't choose the children in the fourth room, right?"

The fourth-bedroom apartment is almost completely different from the old lady, large-bedroom apartment, second-bedroom apartment, and third-bedroom apartment. Now that people are developing in the capital, they will naturally not be considered.

"The reason I called you here is that I want you to talk to Qin Xi and let her choose our Fei'er as her apprentice."

Fei'er is the second wife's eldest grandson. Now seven years old, he is at an active and naughty age.
