Yoshida Mii

Chapter 301 Disposal
Li Hongqin was dissatisfied with her son's behavior. Although they had land, they could still maintain food and clothing with that little land. How could it be like today? Zhang Qian could read books.To put it bluntly, now the whole family relies on Dongbao's shop to live.

Dong Bao and Li Shi are very grateful to their family for how Li Hongqin is. Zhang Qian said he would not come if he didn’t come to eat, and he had to cook by himself in the academy without even explaining the reason. Thinking that the mother and daughter failed to do something, they neglected Zhang Daxiucai.

Thinking of this, Li Hongqin wanted to pull his son's ears, no matter how old he is now, he is already a scholar.

Many students and masters of the academy had eaten at Baoji Shop, and most of them recognized Li Hongqin. When Li Hongqin found Zhang Qian, he was lighting a fire in the stove, because Li Hongqin had never let him enter the stove since he was a child, and Zhang Qian had no idea at all. Can't make a fire, so people who are choked by the smoke in the kitchen can't breathe, but the fire still doesn't light.

Li Hongqin pulled out all the firewood that Zhang Qian had stuffed into the stove, stepped on the sparks on the firewood, dragged him out of the stove, and asked angrily, "What's going on? Who messed with you? Why don't you go to the shop to eat? Tell your aunt to know, so you can't think that she and Dong Bao have offended you, a great scholar!"

Zhang Qian lowered his head and said, "It's inconvenient for me to go back."

"Why is it inconvenient?" Li Hongqin knew that Zhang Qian was not a vexatious person, seeing his son's pitiful appearance that he couldn't even light a fire, his anger disappeared, and he said in a soft voice: "Is there anything I can't tell my mother?" ? You suddenly don’t go to the shop to eat, what do you think about asking your aunt and Dongbao?”

Zhang Qian also felt wronged, angry and ashamed at the same time, otherwise his good friend Lin Shi persuaded him all afternoon, and he would not have said nothing like a saw-mouthed gourd.

"It's really inconvenient." Zhang Qian said softly, "Mother, don't ask, I'll cook and eat by myself in the academy, and it's pretty good." Bao was so embarrassed that he decided not to go back to the shop for dinner.

Li Hongqin looked at her son, who was also embarrassed by his unwillingness to say anything, so she calmly reasoned with Zhang Qian, "If you say it's inconvenient, you won't go back to the shop. It has to be said that your aunt and your sister Dongbao are stingy and won’t allow you to eat in the shop for nothing. You said it’s inconvenient, but why is it inconvenient? It takes less than a quarter of an hour to walk from the academy to here, no more than you in the academy by yourself Is it convenient to light a fire and cook? The helpers in the shop are all from the village, Xiuyu is your own sister, Dongbao and Zhaodi are your cousins, why is it inconvenient?"

Zhang Qian saw that he had to give his mother an explanation today, otherwise she would not give up, so she blushed and whispered, "Dongbao is my cousin, so Song Zhaodi is not!"

Li Hongqin saw the disgusting anger and shame on his son's face, and suddenly he seemed to understand something. Zhang Qian is a good-tempered child, and he doesn't like to talk about people on weekdays. It's not without reason that he singled out Song Zhaodi today. Li Hongqin knew what kind of person Song Zhaodi was.

"Is it...is it Song Zhaodi's girl..." After Li Hongqin realized it, she couldn't speak in anger, her chest heaved so badly, Zhang Qian was her only son, and he was also the one who pinned all the hopes of her and her late husband Well, what is Song Zhaodi, if it wasn't for Dong Bao and Li's face, Li Hongqin wouldn't even bother to look at Song Zhaodi, just thinking about it would make Song Zhaodi dirty, but she didn't expect Song Zhaodi to dare to miss her son!

Zhang Qian didn't expect Li Hongqin to be so angry, so he hurriedly dragged Li Hongqin to his room, let Li Hongqin sit down, and poured a glass of water for Li Hongqin, "Mother, don't be angry, it's not worth it to be angry!"

Li Hongqin gasped for a long time before calming down the anger in her heart. Looking at her son, she asked, "What's the matter? When you came out of the house at noon, you were fine?"

Zhang Qian frowned and said: "After I came out of the house, I was going to eat in the front shop. Song Zhaodi stopped me and said that there will be more people coming to eat later. She helped me bring the meal to the stone table in the backyard. Come on, let me eat there, quiet. I said no, she just...she just grabbed my sleeve, made my brother Qian sick, and kept rubbing against me..."

The more Zhang Qian talked, the more annoyed he became. If Song Zhaodi was an innocent and self-loving girl, Zhang Qian might not be so angry, but she had such a despicable "black history". When she pestered her, Zhang Qian only felt that she dirty.

"She's so brave!" Li Hongqin was also very annoyed. The reason why she didn't get engaged to Zhang Qian was because she wanted to wait for Zhang Qian to take the Juren examination next year. A daughter-in-law will definitely be good for him in the future, even if he doesn't pass the exam, as Zhang Qian's talent, he can still find a good one.No matter what, it was impossible for Li Hongqin to find Song Zhaodi as his wife. Even if Zhang Qian was just a peasant boy with no fame, and Song Zhaodi didn't have the experience of making mistakes, Li Hongqin would not like her.

Zhang Qian squatted beside Li Hongqin's legs and persuaded: "Mother, you also know that now Song Zhaodi is relying on Miss Dongbao to make a living, she won't be able to get on the stage, and I get annoyed when I see her, but we also have to worry about Miss Dongbao's face, After all, she is Dong Bao's cousin. Without my aunt and Dong Bao's sister, how could I study in the academy, how could I be admitted as a scholar, and it is impossible for Xiuyu to be engaged to Brother Liang Zi! Now I just hide from Song Zhaodi , if Miss Dongbao drives her away because of this, wouldn't it be embarrassing for Miss Dongbao!"

"Don't worry about it!" Li Hongqin said, "Come on, go back to the shop with me for dinner, she is nothing, you can't eat poorly because of her troubles, your studies are important, Dongbao, let me tell you! You Dongbao The girl is not that foolish!"

Li Hongqin dragged his son back to the shop, reheated steamed buns, stir-fried vegetables, and made thick egg drop soup for him.

Song Zhaodi was apprehensive at first, but when she saw Zhang Qian came back, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that this was the end of the matter.Unexpectedly, after Li Hongqin finished cooking for her son, she called Dongbao to talk in the West Room. She wanted to stand under the windowsill of the West Room and listen secretly. Zhang Xiuyu kept staring at her and told her to wash the dishes in the kitchen. She went to the kitchen with a heart, and secretly prayed that Zhang Qian didn't say anything, besides, it's not a big deal, she didn't do anything!
Dong Bao heard Li Hongqin say the matter implicitly, and immediately wished to kick Song Zhaodi out of the shop. She had said early in the morning that Song Zhaodi was restless, so how could she work in the shop obediently? It's so embarrassing, her face has long been humiliated by these restless Song family members.

Who is Zhang Qian? He is Li Hongqin's darling and all of Li Hongqin's hopes. Li Hongqin is counting on him to become an official and honor his ancestors in the exams. Song Zhaodi doesn't think that Zhang Qian will fall in love with her, right?Even if Zhang Qian is obsessed with ghosts and refuses to marry unless she is the only one, can Li Hongqin agree?

"Auntie, I understand. I will deal with this matter. Please persuade Brother Qian not to think too much, and continue to come here to eat in the future. It will take time and trouble to cook by yourself, and it will not be good for you." Dong Bao said.

Li Hongqin felt a little guilty when she saw Dong Bao, a little girl flushed with anger, and persuaded: "Don't be angry, we all know what kind of person she is, and it's difficult for you to be in the middle, and I don't have to be with her." A little girl is angry, we will treat this as never happened, and tell her to pay attention in the future, and they will avoid it when they see Xiaoqian." Li Hongqin was angry, but she never thought that she had to drive Song Zhaodi away. She is a person with a knife mouth and a bean curd heart. It is very difficult for a single woman to go out in this world. If Song Zhaodi is driven away, where can she go?

"I'll tell her." Dong Bao was angry at the moment, and it was inconvenient to tell Li Hongqin more. When he was about to settle accounts with Song Zhaodi, he suddenly turned back and told Li Hongqin, "Auntie, you still go to see my mother and little sister tonight." Dong?"

Li Hongqin would go to Yan's house to see Mrs. Li and her little nephew every two days, so it was time to go today.

"Go, it's still early." Li Hongqin said.

Dong Bao smiled, "Then you can explain today's matter clearly to my mother, so that she will stop me from doing whatever I want to do." Dong Bao was afraid that such a bad guy like Li Shi would get sick. Everyone felt pitiful and wanted to help, but Mr. Dong Guo was the one who suffered the most, which was easier said than done.

"Hey, good." Li Hongqin readily agreed, and she didn't want to hide it from Mrs. Li, of course she had to tell Mrs. Li about such things.

When Dong Bao found Song Zhaodi, Song Zhaodi was washing dishes in the kitchen, listening to the movement outside with his ears pricked up.

"Don't wash it yet, come with me to the east room, I have something to ask you." Dong Bao said in a flat tone.

However, Song Zhaodi sensed danger, and felt that Dong Bao's flat tone and face concealed a storm that was about to erupt. She slowly wiped her hands on the apron, dawdled for a while, and then went to Dongbao. Room.

Dong Bao had already lit an oil lamp in the east room, and Dong Bao's face flickered on and off as the bean-sized light shone.

Song Zhaodi couldn't bear the pressure at first, and said, "Why did you call me here? I haven't finished washing the dishes yet."

"You are very clear in your heart, don't pretend to be confused." Dong Bao stared at her and said.

"What's not clear, I don't know what you mean!" Song Zhaodi lowered her head and said daringly.Today when old man Song came over, Dongbao helped her protect her. In addition to being a little grateful, she realized that if she left this shop, she really had nowhere to go, and the only way was to go back to Song's house. .

Dong Bao was a little impatient, she didn't have time to chat with Song Zhaodi, "Tomorrow I will find you a house to live in, and the rent will be deducted from your salary. If your salary is not enough for the rent, I will pay you to make up for it. If there is any surplus, the rest of the wages will be returned to you, every day you come to help after Brother Dashi and the others have breakfast, and leave before noon, remember?"
