suspected wife

Zhou Yanqing couldn't help reaching out her hand to wipe the tears rolling down Qiao Mingjin's face.

The crystal clear teardrops rolled down the corners of Qiao Mingjin's eyes and rolled all over her cheeks.

It also hurt Zhou Yanqing's heart.

He wiped it gently with his fingertips, reached it with the back of his hand, and pulled his sleeve to get it.

Zhou Yanqing did not have the habit of carrying a handkerchief with him.I always feel sissy.

The women in his room, the cousin at home, and the women outside gave all kinds of handkerchiefs the most.Silk brocade, wrought chiffon, embroidered flowers, birds, fish and insects, benevolent women, and landscapes are all available.

It's just that he didn't mean anything next.Those who couldn't refuse were also given to others by him.

After that, I hated Napazi even more.

He felt inconvenient everywhere today.

At this time, he could only use his fingertips to wipe the woman in front of him.It's just that it couldn't stop, and the more I wiped, the more I wiped.

Zhou Yanqing sighed, got up and sat down on the low couch next to Qiao Mingjin, gently embraced Qiao Mingjin, and held her in her arms.

"With me in the future, no one will dare to bully you anymore. I will protect you in the future."

Zhou Yanqing gently stroked Qiao Mingjin's back, saying love words that he was not good at expressing.

Qiao Mingjin lay quietly in his arms, her eyes closed gently, her mind was in a state of chaos, and gradually became clear again, as if seeing the sun through the clouds.

Forget it, so be it.It is too difficult for one person.

This is not a place she is familiar with. She can't do whatever she wants. If she is unhappy, she will change jobs. If she is unhappy, she will buy a plane ticket to fly to another place and start all over again.

So be it.She is a little tired.

The two cuddled quietly, and neither of them spoke.

Zhou Yanqing wished that this moment could last forever.The questions that had puzzled him for a long time seemed to have an answer at this moment.

He had been pretending this woman in his heart for so long, and he was very tired. It turned out that she was really more than just a partner.

Zhou Yanqing hugged the woman's delicate body, pressed her chin against her pile of hair, and secretly raised the corners of her mouth...

the other end.

On the path from Qingchuan City to Xiahe Village, Yue Zhongyao raised his whip high and waved the whip flowers in the air.There was a crisp sound, and the horse trotted forward.

The trail is not too small, and a bullock cart can easily pass it.Straight, and less sideways.

Yue Zhongyao turned his head to look, and his wife's cousin was sitting behind the thick curtain.The two arrived in the city early in the morning and wanted to buy something.How much to buy is up to the cousin.He just followed behind to pay the money and carry things, and the two didn't communicate much.

He didn't even say a word during lunch.

Cousin still complains about him in his heart.

The father-in-law's family doesn't know yet, if they know, it's because of their love for Jinniang.what will happen?Will you take Jinniang back to Yunjia Village?

Yue Zhongyao's heart was gloomy.

He reached out and squeezed the purse hanging on his waist, and there was only less than ten taels of silver in it.

This year.He also saved some money, and saved some of the filial piety he earned outside.I have saved a lot this year.

I made a few trips to neighboring counties and saved up a lot.He also prevented his mother from coming to the county yamen to take his salary, and later told his colleagues in the yamen that he was only allowed to collect it in person.

So this year, he also saved nearly 100 taels of silver.

He originally saved for Jinniang and Wan'er, so the man should be responsible for supporting the family.

And since Jinniang moved out with her daughter, he couldn't bear to suffer from his wife and daughter.This year, I got silver.He couldn't even bear to buy cooked meat.

Every time I go back to the village, I have to give it to Jinniang.But Jinniang refused every time.

His heart is not without loss.Since it is only natural for a wife to spend her husband's money, should the family be divided into two families?Jinniang is so clear, doesn't she treat him as a family?

Qian Jinniang didn't ask for it, and he didn't tell his parents about the money.I just saved it quietly, hoping to leave it to my wife and daughter in the future.

Originally, he made up his mind to quit his job and return to his hometown, buy a few acres of fertile land, farm with his wife, raise children, and live a good life with his wife.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he came back, before he found the fertile land, because of his mother's visit, only ten taels of silver that had been saved for a year were left in the purse.

If it wasn't for his father forcibly opening his mother's cabinet this morning and robbing him of 20 taels, I'm afraid he wouldn't even have enough money to pay today.

His mother is still not half-conscious, and doesn't feel that she has done something wrong.

Last night his mother refused to give money and scolded him all night in the yard.When he went out in the morning, his mother still refused to give the money. She just said that the house had no money, and she didn't even let him in.

Howl loudly.He also said that if he took the silver and left, the whole family would pick up a stick and go out as beggars.

Or his father couldn't see it, so he forcibly opened the box where his mother kept the money, and took the money for him.His mother Sapo cried and made a lot of noise, but his father only robbed him of 20 taels of silver in the end.

His mother would rush forward to grab her, crying and howling, as if he had cut out his mother's heart and cut off his mother's lifeblood.

He had no choice but Wangtian let out a long sigh, and hurried out the door with the 20 taels of silver his father gave him.

He didn't think there was anything wrong with Jinniang buying expensive things with good ones.His wife should have enjoyed the best things.

It was him who was useless, and that's why I wronged my wife.

But, what can I do with the remaining ten taels of silver?

An acre of high-quality farmland is no longer available.There may still be opportunities after the autumn harvest, but now that the seedlings are turning green and earing, who will sell the fertile land that is in sight of a bumper harvest?

I'm afraid that ten taels of silver can't even afford an acre of medium-sized land.What about daily eating and drinking?

He didn't want to wrong his wife and well-behaved and sensible daughter.

Yue Zhongyao frowned, and a sense of melancholy welled up in his heart.

Jin Niang also said that he was waiting for him and Li Shu?

Isn't this gouging out his heart?Letting the two of them go is like picking his bones and cutting his flesh. Even in his dream, he felt bloody, which made people feel uneasy.

No, never!Even if Jinniang wants to resent or hate, he can't let her go.

In Qiao's courtyard, Qiao Mingjin and Zhou Yanqing didn't go out either.

The meal at noon was brought back from the workshop by Shitou and Ming Qi.

If Zhou Yanqing is going to the workshop for dinner.The masters must also be very cautious.

Usually when he comes here, he always eats at Qiao Mingjin's house.Today, although Qiao Mingjin's family didn't start a business, he didn't want to go out, he just wanted to eat with her quietly.

Shi Shi put the food on the table, then lowered his head and pulled Ming Qi out.

"sit down."

Qiao Mingjin glanced at the table, it was very rich, it seems that because Zhou Yanqing came, the workshop added more dishes.

Zhou Yanqing took a look at her, then pulled her to sit on a chair, and also pulled a chair to sit beside her.

Put two chopsticks into Qiao Mingjin's bowl.Asked: "It seems that I haven't asked you what is your favorite dish. It seems that every time I bring meat or vegetables, even if you don't eat much, you don't see anyone who refuses to eat it."

Qiao Mingjin looked into the bowl and replied with a smile: "I like to eat green leafy vegetables, and I like to eat all vegetarian dishes. I eat more chicken and pork. I don't like offal."

Zhou Yanqing silently remembered it while listening.

"Don't you like other meat? Beef and mutton? Rabbit meat? Don't you like any offal? What about fish?"

Qiao Mingjin tilted his head and thought about it, and said: "Beef and mutton are eaten less, and they are usually expensive and difficult to buy. Rabbit meat is eaten once in a while. I don't like internal organs. I like fish too, but it is prickly and annoying to eat."

Zhou Yanqing laughed softly.

Qiao Mingjin glared at him, then thought of something.Looking at him with a smile: "Have you ever eaten sea fish? Sea fish has few bones, I like it very much. I like shrimp and crab seafood very much."

Zhou Yanqing was stunned.

This Qingchuan city is really far from the sea.

Shrimp and crabs are also caught in the river.He has never eaten sea fish a few times, and the seafood he eats are all dry goods.Where did this person eat?

"Aren't you born in Yun Family Village?"

Qiao Mingjin buried her head in the bowl: "Can I eat it in my dream?"

Zhou Yanqing was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

He picked up a few more chopsticks into her bowl, and then picked up his own bowl and started eating.

I used to eat with her at the same table, but not as happy as today.

The woman who had trapped him for more than half a year was sitting beside him at this moment, and the faint body fragrance of her body wafted through his nose from time to time, making him distracted.Afraid of frightening her, he only tried his best to restrain himself.

Talk to her nonchalantly.

very nice.Just him and her.Just the two of them.It will be like this often in the future.

I couldn't help but put a piece of meat in her bowl.

Qiao Mingjin paused holding the bowl, then stretched out his chopsticks to help him pick up a piece: "You eat too."

"well."

There was a smile on the corner of Zhou Yanqing's mouth, and he felt extremely happy.The food that is eaten into the mouth is like the jade oar and jade liquid.

The two finished their meal in a pleasant atmosphere, and it took nearly twice as much time as before.

After the meal, Qiao Mingjin collected the bowls and chopsticks and took them to the well to wash.

Zhou Yanqing followed briskly.

When he got to the well, he volunteered to throw the wooden bucket down to draw water.

It was the first time for Grandpa Saturday to do this kind of physical work. He felt that the wooden bucket in his hand was disobedient in every possible way. He shook it a few times, but the water in the bucket was not yet full.

It was only under Qiao Mingjin's guidance that the wooden barrel sank into the water.Fortunately, Mr. Saturday is not a softie, so he pulled up a bucket of water easily.

Seeing Qiao Mingjin pour the water he brought into the wooden basin and wash the dishes with the water he brought, he couldn't help but feel complacent.

He couldn't wait to throw the wooden barrels into the well, and pulled several barrels up. There were several empty wooden basins and barrels beside the well platform, which would make him fill them up.

Master Saturday is still not satisfied. He saw that two stone pools were built on both sides of the well platform, and he was waiting to fill them with water.Qiao Mingjin quickly pulled him back.

"I have too much strength to use, or what?"

Zhou Yanqing laughed a few times, then stopped.

Seeing Qiao Mingjin carefully washing the dishes that the two of them had eaten in front of him, I felt extremely warm-hearted.

He watched silently with his hands behind his back.After a while, he couldn't help but ran to the mouth of the well, stretched his head to look into the well, and said, "Is there no cover for this well? Will Wan'er fall in?"

Qiao Mingjin looked up and gouged him out.

The fellow rubbed his nose, and said embarrassingly, "Water well, children are naughty..."

"Wan'er can't. She is very obedient, and she will never go near the mouth of the well if she tells her not to. This well is used every morning and evening, and there are no trees around here, and no leaves will fall into it. Sometimes there are People passing by in the fields would come to fetch water for use, but it would be troublesome to cover the manhole.”

Zhou Yanqing nodded.

"I saw someone installing a wheel at the mouth of the well."

Qiao Mingjin nodded: "There are not many household reels. It's better to be so convenient. The bucket has to be made heavier to draw water. It takes a lot of time to install and put it like that, and it doesn't save much effort. Besides, the well with reels They were all dug deep. I only dug the well about ten feet before the water came out. Now that the water is stored, the distance from the water surface to the mouth of the well is only six or seven feet. The bucket came up after a few pulls of the rope. , why are you wearing that thing?"

In her original hometown, there were very few people who installed wheels, but there were many people who built stone piles half a meter high to install water valves.

It is also very convenient to install that thing, and it is not difficult to do it these days.It's just that she is impatient to do it.There are only three people in her family, and she doesn't use much water, so fetching water is very convenient.

The weather was hot, the kettle for boiling water was gone, and they didn't want to drink hot tea, so the two drank a few sips of mung bean soup brought from the workshop, and talked together on the unbroken recliner on the porch.

This is what Yue Zhongyao saw when he came back.

His wife lay drowsy on the rattan chair, and that day Grandpa sat on the chair next to her.

The two of them were very close, and Grandpa Zhou looked at his wife sideways so tenderly, without blinking his eyes.

It fell into his eyes and hurt his heart... (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly tickets. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
