Lou Chenxiao also put down the bowl and chopsticks and stood up: "I'll accompany you there."

"No, I can go by myself." Mi Congcong said in a muffled voice, and went out without looking back.

Mi Zhiqing sighed and said, "Let her go, let's eat."

He guessed that the child would be worried about Qiaomei's family when he knew about it, so he specifically told her, and there was nothing the child could do if he didn't listen to the persuasion.

Qiaomei and Qiaomei's mother were worried that Qiaomei's father would take Qiaoxiang away behind their backs, so they stayed at home and did not dare to go to the field. When they saw Mi Congcong coming in, both mother and daughter were stunned.

"Sister Congcong." Qiaoxiang, who was held by Qiaomei Niang, poked her head out and called Mi Congcong crisply.

Only then did Qiaomei come back to her senses, and greeted Mi Congcong into the house: "When did you return to the village?"

"I came back at noon." Mi Congcong looked at Qiaomei and found that she had lost a lot of weight since the last time we met.

"Congcong, why are you looking at me like this?" Qiaomei felt guilty when she saw her sudden deep eyes.

Mi Congcong smiled, looked away, and said to Qiaomei Niang: "Auntie, is Uncle's waist better?"

In fact, Mi Congcong had already heard Qiaomei's father and Qiaoming talking in the room, so she asked this on purpose.

Speaking of Qiaomei's father's waist injury, Qiaomei's mother did not forget to thank Mi Congcong again: "Thanks to the ointment you sent Congcong, your uncle's waist is much better, and now all the work in the field depends on your uncle .”

"That's good, when uncle is in good health, you can live comfortably, right? When Qiaomei is happy, I am also happy." Mi Congcong said with a smile.

She just wanted Qiaomei's father to know that the reason why she was able to give him the ointment was because of Qiaomei. If they dared to sell Qiaomei, they would never get the ointment from her again!

The smile on Qiaomei Niang's face froze, yes, the child's father is in good health, they are indeed relieved, but is this day a comfortable one?

Qiaomei's father in the house had to bring his son out when he heard this, and greeted Mi Congcong with a dry smile: "Congcong has returned to the village?"

"Uncle, where are you and Qiaoming in the house? I thought you had gone to the ground." Mi Congcong said with a half-smile.

"No, I haven't been in the field for the past few days." Qiaomei's father said hesitantly, and then said: "I heard that your brother won the election, and I haven't congratulated you yet."

"Han Chuang has studied hard for more than ten years, and it's really not easy to win the exam. Compared with those who have studied for 20 years and didn't even get a scholar, my brother is indeed lucky." Mi Congcong said casually: "The whole In Feiyu County, it seems that only my brother won the election this time."

Qiaomei's father said thoughtfully: "It seems that in Feiyu County, no one has been elected for many years."

Mi Congcong hooked the corners of his lips imperceptibly, which was exactly what she wanted him to know.

"Uncle, since there's no work in the field, it's okay for Qiaomei to go out with me, right?" Mi Congcong stopped, let him think about other things.

Don't think that you can win the exam just by going to school. For a child like Qiao Ming who has a crooked mind, the most important thing now is not studying, but the education of character!
"It's okay, of course it's okay." Qiaomei's father wished that his daughter would spend more time with Mi Congcong. Hearing that the two were about to go out, he couldn't help urging him: "Go, go, it doesn't matter if you come back later."

"Thank you uncle." Mi Congcong pulled Qiaomei and walked out.

Qiaomei was still the same as before, whenever something happened, she kept silent, and after walking a long way, Mi Congcong stopped, looked at Qiaomei straight to the point and said, "I know all about your father trying to sell Qiaoxiang. Now, I want to know your plan."

Everyone in the village knew about it. Mi Congcong came here today and Qiaomei guessed that she would definitely talk about it. Qiaomei felt uncomfortable, lowered her head and muttered to herself: "What else can I plan?"

She and mother could stop what father decided for a while, but they couldn't stop it forever, but they really couldn't think of any other way.

"Qiaomei, you want to replace Qiaoxiang, right?!" Mi Congcong asked bluntly, impatiently going around in circles with her.

Qiaomei raised her head abruptly, and looked at her in astonishment.

She was thinking about the feasibility of this matter, but she didn't tell anyone, how did Cong Cong know her plan?

Seeing her expression, Mi Congcong knew that she had guessed right. She was still the same as in her previous life, wanting to trade herself for Qiaoxiang, but with what she said just now, presumably Qiaomei's father would weigh it carefully if he wanted to sell Qiaomei. .

"Qiaomei, it's not wrong for you to love your sister, but can you guarantee that if you exchange yourself for Qiaoxiang this time, your father won't sell Qiaoxiang again?" Mi Congcong said aggressively: "Qiaomei, both belong to your parents. Son, are you really willing to let your father favor your younger brother so much?"

She didn't deliberately provoke their father-daughter relationship, but her father's heart was so biased, if this continues, it's hard to guarantee that Qiaomei won't go back to the old path of her previous life.

I can help her once or twice, but I can't help her for a lifetime. If she doesn't get tough, she will become a victim of Qiaoming sooner or later.

"Actually, my mother is partial to Qiaoming, but my mother will not sell our sisters for Qiaoming." Qiaomei whispered.

It is impossible to say that there is no resentment towards my father in my heart. This year my family has a good harvest, and I have sold more than two liang of grain. Originally, life at home was better than in previous years, but after Qiao Ming heard that Congcong's brother had won the election If he wanted to be an official, he would go home crying and go to school, saying that he would also be an official in the future, but her father agreed.

Going to a private school costs hundreds of dollars a month for beam repairs, not counting pens, ink, paper and inkstones, let alone other expenses. How can their family afford it?This made her father want to sell Qiaoxiang.

Hearing the dissatisfaction in Qiaomei's tone, Mi Congcong asked again: "Does your father want to sell Qiaoxiang to someone as a child bride, or to a rich family to be a maid?"

"I didn't ask." She and her mother disagreed with selling Qiaoxiang, so how could they ask such questions.

Mi Congcong thought for a while, and whispered a few words in Qiaomei's ear. Qiaomei's eyes widened, and she looked at Mi Congcong with tears in her eyes: "Congcong, thank you."

"If you're a sister, don't tell me these things. You think about it, and if you think about it, someone will send me a message, and I will bring someone over." She can't make decisions for Qiaomei, but this time Qiaomei is still soft-hearted. She won't be troubled anymore.

"Congcong, I won't think about it for too long, I will send you a letter within three days at most!" Qiaomei said, wiping away her tears.

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." Mi Congcong did not forget to remind: "Qiaomei, it's best not to even tell your mother about this."

"Congcong, I know." Her mother loves Qiaoming so much, even for the sake of a few younger sisters, she has to be ruthless and hide it from the whole family.

Facing the determination in Shang Qiaomei's eyes, Mi Congcong had guessed her decision, couldn't help smiling happily, and said meaningfully: "Qiaomei, don't think too badly about things, maybe you will be lucky for it in the future of."

At this time, Qiaomei couldn't hear the deep meaning in Mi Congcong's words, she just wanted to go back to spend more time with her family, said goodbye to Congcong and left.
