The gentleman is knocking on the door

Chapter 307 Unscrupulous father
313
Mi Congcong originally wanted to ask Milan Lan a few words, but Milan Lan put down the basket and left.

"Uncle, has this girl really changed her sex?" Mi Congcong asked in surprise.

When she came back, she didn't see the girl's face, she said she went to find Mi Zhi'an, what happened to make this girl agitated?
Mi Zhiqing was also suspicious: "No, this girl seems to be a different person recently, she doesn't like to talk very much, but she is more diligent than before, and she often comes to help grandma feed the chickens and do some housework. "

Milan Lan was also diligent in the past, but she seldom came to their house, let alone to help them with work.

"Heh, that's pretty good too." Mi Congcong was happy to see Milan Lan developing in a good direction.

That Shangguan Yiyue finally reached an agreement with Qiaomei's father, and was willing to pay Qiaomei's father 13 taels of silver, the other half a pig and a bag of noodles, and make new clothes for each of Qiaolan, which was later folded into Two bolts of cloth.

Mi Congcong made a deal with Shangguan Yiyue before, and he could give 20 taels of silver at most, as long as he could rescue Qiaomei from that house, but Guo Hongyuan didn't like Qiaomei's father, so he didn't feel sad at all selling his daughter. With Qiaomei's younger brother, such a young person was blinded by Qian, only Qiaomei's younger sisters and mother were silently wiping away tears.

Guo Hongyuan was furious, and after hearing what Mi Congcong said about the situation of Qiaomei's family, he felt that if only money was given, Qiaomei's younger sisters would get nothing, so it's better to give them more food.

After the two parties reached an agreement, Guo Hongyuan and Shangguan Yiyue took Qiaomei, father and daughter, to the county government office to complete the formalities.

Qiaomei Niang and her three daughters chased Guo's carriage out of the village while crying.

"Qiaomei."

"Miss."

Qiaomei lay at the entrance of the carriage and waved to her mother and sister with tears streaming down her face: "Mother, you go back quickly, I will come back to see you when I have a chance."

Shangguan Yiyue was concerned, so she passed the handkerchief to Qiaomei, and lowered her voice so that Qiaomei's father in the other carriage could not hear: "Don't be sad, if Congcong sees her, she will feel guilty."

Congcong did all this for Qiaomei's good, if he saw her so sad, he would doubt his actions.

Qiaomei took the handkerchief, and didn't look back until she could no longer see her mother and sister, and wiped the tears from her face: "Thank you, Miss Shangguan."

Shangguan Yiyue patted Qiaomei on the shoulder boldly: "You're welcome, you are Congcong's friend and also my friend. If you need help in the future, just ask. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."

"Thank you." Qiaomei was very depressed, and her heart was full of confusion and anxiety about the future.

Although Congcong said that he would help her plan slowly and make Qiaolan and the others live a better life, but when she left home, she felt as if her whole heart had been hollowed out.

Go to the county government office to complete the formalities and hand over the silver taels to Qiaomei's father. Shangguan Yiyue is about to take him away, but Qiaomei's father shouts from behind.

Shangguan Yiyue turned her head, frowned and said, "Is there anything else?"

Qiaomei's father smiled mischievously: "Miss Xiaoguan, the half-pig and noodles you mentioned are still there."

"Don't worry, our Shangguan's family is not short of these things, and we will send someone to deliver them to you tomorrow." Shangguan Yiyue thought that he was reluctant to let Qiaomei stop before calling her, but who knew that he was just thinking about the things, and he was worried about this in his heart. Qiaomei's father's impression was even worse, and his tone subconsciously became angry.

But Qiaomei's father didn't care about her attitude at all, he only cared about those things, with Shangguan Yiyue's assurance, Qiaomei's father happily got into the Guo family's carriage and rushed back to Damo Village.

Qiaomei was temporarily taken back to Shangguan's house by Shangguan Yiyue to learn the rules, but she was still worried about the family and entrusted Micongcong to take care of her in secret, fearing that her unscrupulous father would turn back and sell Qiaolan and the others. .

After Qiaomei was taken away by Shangguan Yiyue, Qiaomei's mother fell ill and lay on the bed for nearly half a month. Finally, under Ye Shi's earnest consolation, she relaxed her heart and gradually improved.

Looking at the three daughters guarding the bed, Qiaomei Niang put back her tears.

Grandma Congcong was right, she had to survive for the sake of her first three daughters.

Now Qiaomei Niang is very disappointed with her husband and son. She is still sick, and her husband sent her son to a private school, and the son doesn't come to see her every day when he comes back from the private school. Can you count on it?
Qiao Mei Niang just recovered from her illness and was unable to help in the fields, so she called the youngest daughter who stayed at home and asked her to bring the cloth sent by Shangguan Yiyue to make clothes for the three daughters.

Who knows that when it comes to cloth, Qiaoxiang wrinkled her small face, and hesitated to speak.

Qiaomei Niang's heart skipped a beat: "Qiaoxiang, where's the cloth?"

"Mother, Nabu. Nabu" Qiaoxiang faltered with her head down, unable to explain why.

"Qiaoxiang, tell Mother honestly, is the cloth gone?" Qiaomei Niang asked sullenly.

Qiaoxiang was terrified when she saw her mother get angry, and hurriedly said: "Mother, don't be angry, I said, two days ago, Qiaoming said that he wanted to eat the sweet-scented osmanthus cake in the town and also wanted to buy a kite, so my father took the cloth to me. I sold it and bought two boxes of pastries and a kite for Qiao Ming, and bought a new dress for Qiao Ming.”

Qiaoxiang didn't dare to say too much, so as not to overwhelm her mother again.

Qiaomei Niang clutched the hem of the clothes tightly to prevent herself from crying, the cloth was bought by Qiaomei herself to make new clothes for Qiaolan, the father and son unexpectedly
"Mother, are you angry?" Qiaoxiang was worried when she saw her mother was silent.

Qiaomei Niang suppressed the anger and coldness in her heart, and smiled at her little daughter: "No, mother is not angry, Qiaoxiang, go cook."

After Qiaoxiang entered the kitchen, Qiaomei's mother sat by the bed until Qiaomei's father came back from the field, then she got up and went into the kitchen to help.

"Mother, you are still in good health, go back to the house and lie down." The second daughter, Qiaoying, pushed her mother out of the kitchen, took the vegetables Qiaoxiang had washed, and started cutting them.

Looking at the two daughters, Qiaomei Niang was lost for a moment, and she didn't come back until Qiaolan also walked into the kitchen.

"Mother, are you still not feeling well, do you want to invite the doctor to come and have a look?" Seeing her mother like this, Qiaolan was very worried.

Qiao Ming, who just came back from the outside and passed the kitchen door, murmured unhappily when he heard this: "Mother has spent a lot of money seeing the doctor and taking medicine these days."

Today is the private school's holiday, and Qiao Ming just went out to play with the children in the village.

"Qiaoming, what are you talking about, can I get well if I don't see a doctor when I'm sick?" Qiaomei was not there, so the second sister Qiaoying was the one who stood out, she went to the kitchen door and yelled at Qiaoming.

Qiaoxiang was not happy and said: "Mother, it doesn't cost much to see a doctor, but you spend a lot of money to study!"

"Okay, stop arguing. I'm already cured, so I don't need to see a doctor anymore." Qiaomei Niang walked out of the kitchen, looked at her son with mixed feelings in her heart, sighed lightly after a while, and raised her hand to touch him. His head: "Qiaoming, since you have entered a private school, you must study hard. Don't waste your elder sister's painstaking efforts, you know?"

After all, it is the son who grew up in the palm of his hand, no matter how ignorant he is, Qiaomei Niang still can't bear to blame him after all.
