The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 161 Selling Daughter

On the day of the funeral, all the people who came to deliver things were invited to eat, so Han Qianluo left before the funeral was completed, and his second aunt Wang came back with him.

"Qianluo, do you want to go to the street to buy vegetables, I will go with you." Wang said.

Han Qianluo felt that there was no need for two people to go, so he said, "Second Aunt, I can go alone, you can stay at home."

"That's okay, you little girl, be careful."

Han Qianluo drove an ox cart to the city. Originally, she planned to go shopping directly, but after hesitating for a while, she went to Zhao Tong's house first.When they came to Zhao Zhao's house, Mrs. Zhao was sitting at the door of the house doing embroidery like an ordinary old woman as usual. Han Qianluo greeted her, and then went to the thatched cottage behind the house to look for Zhao Tong.

"Zhao Tong." Han Qianluo walked over and shouted.

Zhao Tong heard the voice and turned his head to look, and found that it was Han Qianluo, so he straightened up, picked up a sweat towel to wipe the sweat off his body, and walked out, "Qianluo, haven't you been here for a long time?"

"Something happened at home. My sister-in-law drowned. I have been busy with her funeral for the past two days, so I haven't had time to come here. How is the planter doing?" Han Qianluo's first concern was the planter .

Zhao Tong smiled happily, a little smug, but more confident: "More than half of it has been done, and it will be done in half a month at most. If it goes well, it may only take ten days to finish it." Do it."

"That's really great." Han Qianluo was also very happy when he heard this.

Zhao Tong didn't continue the conversation on this issue, but asked about her family's funeral: "By the way, did your sister-in-law have a funeral?"

"It's the funeral today, isn't it going to buy groceries?" Han Qianluo said.

After Zhao Tong heard it, he hurriedly urged: "Then you go shopping quickly, or it will be too late and you won't be able to buy good food." Han Qianluo felt that he really couldn't delay for too long, so he bid farewell and left. I went to the vegetable market to buy vegetables, and after buying the vegetables quickly, I went home.

It wasn't too late when I got home, and there were a lot of people helping out, so the lunch was made smoothly.Due to the large number of people who came, Han Qianluo who was the last to eat had no seats, so he could only hide in the kitchen and eat a little casually.

Originally, apart from Han Qianluo, the second aunts Wang and Li also stayed at the end to eat, and there were no seats for them at the dinner table, but because some people had already finished eating, there were some places left, so Wang and Li stayed. When they went out to eat, Han Qianluo was the only one left in the kitchen.

Han Qianluo was eating in the kitchen when she suddenly heard a faint voice coming from the side. Putting down the bowl and chopsticks, trying hard to hear the voice.

After listening hard for a while, Han Qianluo finally realized that the voice was coming from the side.The kitchen is at the farthest side, next to another yard of their house, which is the yard where paper is usually made.

The door next to the yard has been closed and locked with a lock for a while. Only I and my elder brother have the key, so it is obvious that one of the people who spoke is Han Qingquan.

This discovery made Han Qianluo even more curious. She was very curious about who the person who was talking to Han Qingquan was, and whether it was the person her eldest brother liked.This possibility made her even more curious, as if a cat was scratching her heart, her heart was itching, she was extremely curious.

Han Qianluo thought and thought, hesitated for a while, and finally decided to go quietly to see who it was, but she said to herself in her heart: I'm not curious, I'm just worried about my brother's love life, and worried that something will happen to him .

So she put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand, and went out quietly. Everyone in the yard was eating or chatting, so few people noticed that she went out, and even if they did, they probably wouldn't care.

The gate of the courtyard next to it was closed tightly, Han Qianluo pushed it lightly, and found that the gate was locked from the inside and could not be pushed open. He was a little disappointed, knowing that today he would not be able to see who was inside. So I was a little disappointed and went back to continue eating. While eating, I could still hear the faint voice from the next door.

After a long time, the courtyard next door finally quieted down, and then there was the sound of opening and closing the door. Hearing this sound, Han Qianluo knew that his elder brother and that person had come out, so he quickly put down the bowls and chopsticks in his hand and went out, just in time to see Han Qingquan Walk in with Zhao Tong.

For a moment, Han Qianluo felt as if struck by lightning. He froze on the spot for at least five seconds before walking over, "Zhao Tong, when did you come? Why didn't I see you?"

"Of course you didn't see it. I just came here." Zhao Tong said with a smile, and then looked at a messy table and said, "It seems that I came late."

"Just here?" Han Qianluo couldn't help asking back, which means that the person who was in the next yard just now was not him, but someone else.

Han Qingquan interrupted them suddenly, and interjected: "Xiao Luo, you haven't finished your meal yet, don't delay, go to eat quickly, and you can chat after dinner."

"Okay then." After Han Qianluo finished speaking, he turned and went to the kitchen to continue eating. When he walked to the door of the kitchen, he unconsciously looked back and saw that his elder brother was leading Zhao Tong to the small courtyard where the bedroom was.

After eating, Han Qianluo was busy cleaning all the dishes, pots and pans, and tidying up the messy yard. Although there was help from Mrs. Zhou, it took him a long time to clean up. All the work is done.

After Han Qianluo cleaned up the yard, he found that everyone had left. Even the second aunt Wang didn't know what had left, but Li hadn't left yet. On the stool, looking at Han Qianluo.

Han Qianluo felt that she should have something to say, so she did it next to her: "Mother-in-law." Li Shi snorted with her nose, and said confidently: "You killed my daughter, don't you need to give a Say it?"

"Your daughter was not killed by us." Han Qianluo became a little angry when he mentioned this matter. Why does this, this Li, think that they killed Chunhua? This normal person knows that this matter has nothing to do with them.

Li's eyes widened, she stared at her and said, "Why didn't you kill her? How could a good Chunhua in our family fall into the well and drown? Why don't you tell me?"

"She is pregnant with my brother's child, why do you think we killed her?" Han Qianluo also asked back, and did not back down when facing the aggressive Li Shi.

Mrs. Li paused for a while, as if she couldn't think of a suitable reason, but she just paused for a moment, and then said: "Our Chunhua came to your Han's house alone, how long has it been, three months It’s not even here yet, so let’s go, you must be responsible.”

"Responsible, what are you responsible for?" Han Qianluo felt that this Li family was simply inexplicable, and it didn't mean that someone's innocence was tarnished, so what was he responsible for?Well, in her mind, the word responsible can only be used in the relationship between men and women.

"What do you say you are responsible for? Don't pretend to be a fool and try to avoid this matter. I worked hard to raise Chunhua and marry your brother as a wife. As a result, do you think you are responsible?" Li said loudly Said.

Han Qianluo didn't understand the hidden meaning of this sentence at all, but at this time Han Qingquan walked out of the small courtyard next to him, and said lightly, "How much do you want?"

Hearing this, Han Qianluo was stunned. Could it be that the reason why Li Shi was so troublesome was to ask for money. Her daughter was killed and she didn't want to find out the murderer, but wanted to extract a sum of money. She didn't believe that this would It was true, so I looked at Li Shi's face, only to find that Li Shi was not angry, but a little joyful.

Han Qingquan came over, sat down beside Han Qianluo, then looked at Mrs. Li and said, "How much do you want?"

After hearing this, Mrs. Li lowered her head and thought for a while, then raised her head, as if she had made up her mind: "I don't want your money, I just want your two machines."

Han Qingquan replied without thinking: "I can agree to your conditions, but if you take these things, it will have nothing to do with our family from now on, and we will not admit that your daughter was once my wife." .”

Mrs. Li was stunned, probably because she didn't understand why Han Qingquan said that, with a blank expression on her face.

"That is to say, with this money, it is considered that we bought your daughter." Han Qingquan added, explaining clearly.

"Brother?" Han Qianluo hastily tugged on her elder brother's sleeve. She felt that doing so was a bit inappropriate, a little too unkind, and would make people gossip.

Han Qingquan ignored her, just looked at Li Shi and said, "You promise, or..." Before he finished speaking, he suddenly covered his mouth with his hands and coughed.

"Brother, are you catching a cold?" Han Qianluo asked with concern. Because of Li Chunhua's funeral, Han Qingquan stayed up late every night and hadn't slept for several nights.

Han Qingquan put his hands under the table, said with a smile, "Maybe, it will be fine in two days," and then turned to look at Mrs. Li.

Mrs. Li hesitated for a while, but finally made up her mind and agreed.Han Qingquan stood up with a smile, walked into the room, came out after a while, took two pieces of paper full of words, and an inkpad, put it on the table and said: "Since you agree, let's stamp your fingerprints."

Mrs. Li picked up the two contracts in a daze and looked at them again and again, but she obviously couldn't understand the content on them, so she put it down and said, "I am also illiterate, how do I know what you wrote on it?" What is it?"

"Why don't we go to Lord Lizheng and ask him to read it to you?" Han Qingquan raised his eyebrows.
