The history of struggle of peasant girls

Chapter 165 Help
"What are you talking about, don't marry? If you dare not marry, unless your surname is not Zhao." Zhao suddenly roared angrily like a cat with fur.

Just as Mrs. Zhao finished speaking, she saw Han Qianluo standing at the door, not knowing whether to go in or out, she immediately put away the angry look on her face, put on her kind look again and said, "Qianluo is here, Come in and sit down." After speaking, he glared at Zhao Tong.

Zhao Tong restrained the expression on his face, but he was obviously not as good as his mother's ability to turn faces faster than flipping books, so he could only make an expressionless expression and say, "Qianluo, the planter is ready. , come and take a look." After speaking, he walked towards the house, and Han Qianluo followed behind.

After Han Qianluo entered the room, he heard footsteps coming from outside. He looked around and found that Mrs. Zhao had gone out, so he asked curiously, "What were you arguing with your mother just now? You heard it from afar."

"It's not about that man."

Zhao's words confused Han Qianluo, so he quickly asked: "But I heard your mother is asking you to marry, how could it be about that man?"

"She wanted to be with that man in a fair manner, that is, get married, but I disagreed, and then she forced me to get married and marry that man's daughter." Zhao Tong explained simply.

Han Qianluo didn't know what to say after hearing this, saying that Mrs. Zhao should not remarry, but there is no reason for that. Why can't people pursue their own happiness when they are old, or support Mrs. Zhao's remarriage? Standing on the opposite side of Zhao Tong was not very appropriate, so she said nothing.

Zhao Tong seemed to see it, so he continued to explain: "Actually, if I change someone, I don't object, but that man is not reliable at all. He just wants to get some money from my mother."

"Didn't you say that man was your mother's former fiancé?" Han Qianluo suddenly thought of this.

Zhao Tong nodded: "Actually, it's not my fiancé. The two of them are not engaged, not even a verbal agreement." He paused and continued, "Actually, I think that man never thought of marrying my mother from the beginning to the end." , it was just my mother’s wishful thinking from the beginning.”

"How do you know he lied to your mother?" Han Qianluo asked.

"He had a son who was my age, the same year."

Hearing what Zhao Tong said, even Han Qianluo felt that the man who didn't know his name was just playing for fun, but she really couldn't express her opinion on this matter, so she could only say: "Then why did you ask me again?" Marrying that man's daughter is not that kind of relationship even if we get married?"

"Who knows what she thinks." Zhao Tong spread his hands and said.

Han Qianluo suddenly remembered that her elder brother said that Zhao Tong had expressed that she liked her, but no matter how she looked at it, she felt that Zhao Tong was very normal when getting along with her, and she couldn't tell it at all, so she suspected that her elder brother was just perfunctory her, but She still decided to try it out, so she asked, "Do you have someone you like, that's why you don't want to marry that girl?"

Zhao Tong's face turned red when he heard these words, and he looked a little embarrassed.This kind of reaction made sense in Han Qianluo's mind, and it seemed that there was indeed someone she liked, so she continued to ask: "Then you can tell your mother that you have someone you like, and you want to marry her."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Tong, who was blushing just now and seemed a little embarrassed, suddenly felt a little lost, lowered his head and said, "Impossible, it is impossible for us to be together."

"As long as she is not married, there is nothing impossible." Han Qianluo continued, now she doesn't think that the person Zhao Tong likes will be her at all, and she doesn't look like her at all.

Zhao Tong smiled wryly and said: "You don't understand, the obstacle between us is not just as simple as getting married or not, it would be great if it was really that simple."

Han Qianluo was completely confused. What could be a bigger obstacle than her sweetheart marrying someone else? In her opinion, this is already the biggest obstacle.But she thought of another possibility, so she asked in surprise: "Could it be that the person you like is dead?"

"No, he is still alive and well." Zhao Tong said, as if he was not very willing to continue talking about this topic, so he pointed to the planter and said. "Look at this kind of planter. It was just finished yesterday afternoon. See if there is any problem."

Han Qianluo believes in his skills now, so he didn't check it carefully, but just took a casual look and said: "There should be no problem, I will pull it back and try it." She thought for a while and said, "Then I Come in the afternoon and pull the planter back, and if it's all right, we'll do a little more."

Zhao Tong pointed to the seat beside him and said, "Sit down for a while." He sat down first, and Han Qianluo also sat down on the seat.

"Qianluo, I know what you think. You want to make a few more planters and sell them before planting, but in such a short period of time, I can't make too many by myself, only two at most. " Zhao Tong said.

"Do you have any ideas?" Han Qianluo said.

Zhao Tong admitted it straightforwardly: "I think the two brothers of the Zhang family can also help to make it. This way the speed will definitely be faster and a few more can be made."

Han Qianluo didn't speak. She was a little worried that if she asked Bie Re to help, the design drawings would spread, which would be too uneconomical.

Seeing that she didn't speak, Zhao Tong asked a little puzzled: "Qianluo, is there any problem?" Han Qianluo felt that his feet were a little numb, so he quietly changed his sitting position, and then replied: "There is indeed a problem, I am worried that if I ask others to help, this blueprint will spread, and you know, this blueprint is very important."

Only then did Zhao Tong realize the problem, lowered his head and began to think, and stopped talking.Han Qianluo didn't interrupt, and quietly waited for Zhao Tong to think about it. She felt that she was definitely inferior to Zhao Tong in terms of how to make machines, and she was just good at designing.

After a while, Zhao Tong raised his head again and said, "Look, is this okay? I don't give them the blueprints, but just ask them to help make some less important parts, and then finally I will make these parts into a complete machine .”

"That's fine." Han Qianluo nodded in agreement, and then remembered that if the Zhang family brothers were to help make machine parts, they would definitely have to pay, so he continued, "I will pay the wages directly." Give it to them, or I'll bring it to you, and then you give it to them?"

"It's better to give Qianluo yourself." Zhao Tong said, as if he had some concerns.

But Han Qianluo didn't see this, she just nodded to show that she knew, then stood up and said: "Then I'll go back first, I'll pull the machine back after lunch." After finishing speaking, she left.

Han Qianluo was walking home alone, the road was very quiet, and it was boring to go alone without anyone to talk to, so she started to think wildly, and suddenly she really realized a problem, why did the elder brother lie to her Say Zhao Tong likes her?

She was thinking about this matter along the way, and in the end she still felt that her initial guess was more reliable, but when she thought of her eldest brother's reaction, she felt that it was too calm, and it should not be possible.Until finally returning home, Han Qianluo still couldn't figure out the reason.

Back home, Han Qianluo was still the only one in the house. Eating alone was too boring, so she picked up something casually and treated it as lunch. After eating, she drove the ox cart to Zhao Tong's house to pull the planter.

I rushed to Zhao Tong's house in a hurry, only to find that her house was hung with a white cloth. Han Qianluo, who had just finished the funeral, immediately realized that this was a dead person. There were only two people in the Zhao family, not Zhao Tong. It is the Zhao family.

Don't be Zhao Tong, Han Qianluo thought to himself, hurriedly ran into Zhao Tong's house, saw Zhao Tong in the house at a glance, immediately felt relieved, walked over and asked, "Why is this happening?"

The expression on Zhao Tong's face was very indifferent, and he didn't seem to be sad at all. When he heard Han Qianluo's question, he just shook his head and said, "I don't know very well. After you left in the morning, I was thinking at home if there is any way to do it. Improve the efficiency of iron smelting, and I didn’t see my mother back until noon, so I went to find her until she was definitely going to that man.”

Zhao Tong stopped here, annoyed Qian Luo hurriedly urged: "Then, what happened?"

"When I arrived at the man's house, I saw that the door of his house was ajar, so I opened the door and walked in, only to see the man standing in the yard with a bloody knife in his hand, and I The mother was lying in front of the man, covered in blood, dead."

"Have you reported to the official?" Han Qianluo asked hastily.

Zhao Tong nodded and said, "I have already reported to the government. The government said that the evidence is convincing and there is no need for a trial." Although he said so, his face was full of doubts.

There were two or three Taoist priests in the dilapidated courtyard, and they were already doing things, so they seemed a little noisy, which forced Han Qianluo to raise his voice: "Is there something wrong?"

"It's true that although that man is a scumbag, he just wanted to cheat some money from my mother, and he didn't know how to kill people at all, so I can't figure it out." Zhao Tong expressed his doubts.

"Why don't you ask him?" Han Qianluo suggested.

"Forget it, I'd better deal with my mother's funeral affairs first, and I will talk about these things later when I have a chance."

Han Qianluo was a little hesitant. She felt that she had to stay and help. Zhao Tong seemed to be the only one in the Zhao family, and she didn't see any other relatives coming over. With Zhao Tong alone, he must be very busy, and he It is estimated that there is no experience, and I don't know what to do and what not to do.

At this moment, Han Qianluo's familiar voice came from outside: "A Tong."
