reborn widow

Chapter 3

After seeing off the sweet-scented osmanthus, Gui Qingqing thought that Li Song had come back, and she had to go and see it both emotionally and politely, but she felt that it was not good to go empty-handed. There is no other way but to put the eggs brought by my sister in a bamboo basket and carry them to the Li family's mansion.

As soon as she arrived at the gate of Li's house, she saw Mrs. Wang escorting a bell doctor out. Gui Qingqing hurriedly asked, "Sister-in-law, who is sick?"

Wang said with a smile: "It's the second sister-in-law. She fainted from fright when she saw the eldest brother." After speaking, she secretly covered her mouth and smiled.

Gui Qingqing was stunned, "Isn't it?"

"Why not? You didn't see the scar on the elder brother's face—" Seeing the old man Li Fuman come out of the house, Wang hurriedly changed his words: "It's because the second sister-in-law is pregnant, and that's why she fainted." After finishing speaking, she rushed Gui Qingqing blinked.

Gui Qingqing entered the yard, said hello to Li Fuman, and said: "Father, I heard that the eldest brother is back, so I came here to take a look. These eggs..." Before she could finish speaking, Mrs. Hu had already come out of the house. Come out, "Oh, his fourth aunt, he came to see me with eggs so soon? Don't dare to take it, don't you want to borrow money? Even if I have money, I won't lend it to you."

Li Fuman said angrily: "Second daughter-in-law, what are you talking about!"

Mrs. Hu said: "Father, she doesn't even have a child now, so she is no longer part of the Li family!" Although her father-in-law was angry, Mrs. Hu was not afraid. Now, her natal brother has been admitted to Juren, who doesn't look at her with admiration?

Li Yu said behind her, "You've said it before."

Mrs. Hu glared at him, Li Yu didn't dare to speak anymore, Mrs. Hu said to Gui Qingqing again: "To tell you the truth, I'm afraid you won't repay the money after borrowing you. You can still hear the sound when you throw the copper plate into the water." , I borrowed from you, I'm afraid I won't even hear a sound."

Gui Qingqing glanced at her, and said with a faint smile: "Second sister-in-law, you made a mistake, even if I wanted to borrow money, I wouldn't ask you to borrow money. I'm here to visit my father and elder brother today." She turned her head, Said to Li Fuman: "Father, you are getting old, it is good for your health to eat an egg every now and then."

Gui Qingqing is now the daughter-in-law of the Li family. If her natal father wants to sell her, she has to seek her father-in-law's opinion, so it is still necessary to please her father-in-law. Otherwise, she won't have to listen to Hu's sarcasm. Since she married into the Li family, the Hu family has always disliked her. Osmanthus said that it was because she was too beautiful to make people jealous.

Seeing that Gui Qingqing didn't pay attention to her, Mrs. Hu stared at her, "Gui Qingqing, you came here to humiliate me, didn't you? It's not like my family doesn't have a few eggs. I need you to show me your courtesy. Could it be that they are so smelly that you can't eat them before giving them away?" come on?"

Gui Qingqing also has a temper. In her previous life, she would have had to argue with Mrs. Hu, but now, her mentality has completely changed. When she looks at Mrs. Hu now, she thinks she is a clown.

Gui Qingqing can also guess Hu's thoughts to some extent.Back when Gui Qingqing was just married to Li's family for a month, the Hu family encouraged the separation of the family. Of course Gui Qingqing had no objection, but even if she had an opinion, she was not in a position to say so.

The Li family still had some property at that time. Five or six years after Li Song ran away from home, he probably found out that the person he beat up was fine, so he wrote letters back every now and then, and brought back some money. Li Fuman bought all the money. However, when the family was separated, because Li Song was not at home, the five acres of dry land and two acres of paddy fields under his name belonged to the second brother, Li Yu, and of course the harvest also belonged to them. Now that Li Song is back, these Of course, Li Song had to grow the fields by himself. Hu's family should be the most unhappy in the whole Li family. Today, she was making use of the topic. She probably had no place to vent her depression, so she used Gui Qingqing as a punching bag...

Although Li Fuman was angry, he did not dare to offend Mrs. Hu. He could only lament the misfortune of his family. The yin flourished and the yang declined. None of the two daughter-in-laws of Hu and Wang could be at ease, and neither of their two sons lived up to expectations... Fortunately, The eldest son is back.

Wang Shi was also watching the fun, Gui Qingqing didn't expect her father-in-law to make decisions for her, and she didn't dare to count on Wang Shi.

Gui Qingqing smiled lightly, but what she said was soft but hard: "I don't agree with the second sister-in-law's words. The eggs are not stinky, and they are not for you to eat. They have nothing to do with you. Besides, although the Li family separated , father is still Shiro's father, even if Shiro is gone, it is only natural for me to come and see him for him, why did it become a humiliation to the second sister-in-law? If the second sister-in-law insists on thinking so, we can go to the patriarch Judge there."

After Gui Qingqing finished speaking, she thought that Mrs. Hu would still mess around, but she didn't know that Mrs. Hu had slipped into the house in desperation, and even Mrs. Wang followed in hastily. Came back from the outside, and later followed Li Bai.

Li Song is tall, and he walks quietly. He is wearing coarse clothes and looks a bit downcast. The scar on his face extends from the forehead on the right cheek to the chin. It can be seen that it is a new wound. Although the wound Well, the meat there is still red, Leng Ding looked a little scary, but to Gui Qingqing, the ugliness of the face is nothing, the ugliness of the heart is more frightening, just like Song Ziqiao is handsome, but Gui Qingqing When Qingqing saw him, she couldn't help trembling all over.

Li Song's eyes were cold and aloof, with a rebellious look flashing deep in his eyes, a mocking smile was curling around the corners of his beautifully shaped lips, making him surrounded by a cold breath, No wonder Hu and Wang were scared away.

Seeing Gui Qingqing looking at Li Song, Li Fuman quickly introduced, "Fourth daughter-in-law, this is your elder brother."

With a slight smile on Gui Qingqing's face, she bowed her head and saluted, "Brother, I heard that you are back, so I came here to take a look. If there is anything that needs to be mended, brother, just leave it to me." Song, who seems to have never been married, later adopted the son of Li Bai, the third son.

Li Song said: "Okay, I'm afraid I really want to trouble you."

Gui Qingqing nodded, she said all that needed to be said, and she said goodbye to Li Fuman and Li Song. It was Li Song's vague glance that made her feel a little flustered, and her eyes were as clear as stars. It made Gui Qingqing feel a little uncomfortable...

Seeing that Gui Qingqing was about to leave, Li Fuman hurriedly said in a low voice: "Fourth daughter-in-law, come into the house, and Daddy will take back the two taels of silver for you."

Gui Qingqing has been in the Song family for many years, and she has already learned how to read words and demeanor, not to mention she also understands Wang's temperament, and it's no wonder that she can get the money out of her hand!It is estimated that the money should be paid by the father-in-law, Gui Qingqing didn't say anything, but just smiled: "Thank you, Dad, since you are coming, I will keep the flowers, and I will honor you as a daughter-in-law."

Li Fuman opened his mouth, seeing Gui Qingqing leaving the yard, he finally didn't dare to shout, if the two daughter-in-laws in the room found out, what would happen?He just sighed as he walked into the house, "Da Lang, marry a wife and a virtuous person. If you get married in the future, if you can find a fourth daughter-in-law like this, your father will die and rest in peace." As he spoke, he gave the third son a look. , Li Bai shrank his neck in fright, turned around and went to Li Yu's house.

After Li Fuman finished speaking, he suddenly remembered something, so he stopped in his tracks, with a trace of excitement on his face, grabbed the elder son's arm, pulled him into his room and said, "Da Lang, why don't you marry me?" Let's have a fourth daughter-in-law!"

Li Song didn't expect his father to say this, he just entered the house today, isn't it too early to say this now?However, when he thought of Gui Qingqing's pair of autumn water eyes, rippling and rippling, with a slight smile, he was a little moved, not to mention that Gui Qingqing didn't seem to be afraid of him, and there was no hint of disgust in his eyes, and a warm color flashed in his eyes "Father, you can't wishful thinking, people don't know if they want to..."

Li Fuman knew that it was his son who had no objection, and he was happy in his heart, "Look at what you said, she is the daughter-in-law hired by our Li family, that is, the Li family. Now that Shiro is gone, why is she not willing? Dad will go find her now." Your second aunt, let her speak to you."

Li Fuman acted resolutely, turned around and was about to leave, but Li Song grabbed him, "Father, let's discuss this matter in the long run."

"What's the long-term plan? What do you want?"

Li Song said: "Father, the second daughter-in-law fainted from fright when she saw me today, and you saw it too, whether it's a real dizziness or a fake dizziness, she will live under the same roof in the future. Now that our family has separated, I want to move out, I am the eldest son, so dad can live with me."

Li Fuman frowned, "Move out? Where?"

"Move to our old house."

"How can I do that? The fourth daughter-in-law lives there, so it's not easy to drive her away..."

"Father, why did you drive her away? I remember that there were three rooms. We lived in one room, with the bright hall in the middle, and she lived in one room. Isn't that just right! The apprentice is playing with her idea."

Li Fuman was still a little hesitant, "It's not very good, the two of us will live there... She is a widow... It's better to book the title first."

"Father, we should test her attitude first. If we rashly propose marriage, if she doesn't want to, it will be embarrassing for us to meet again in the future. My son doesn't want to make things difficult for others."

Li Fuman felt right after thinking about it, "But the old house is too dilapidated, it rains heavily outside, and it rains lightly inside, so we have to clean it up first."

"Father, it's enough to change the roof. Leave it to me. Find a few more people. The roof will be almost finished in a day. Let's see her attitude tomorrow. If it doesn't work, I should help her repair the roof. "If it's okay, I'll ask my second aunt to propose marriage... Actually, I've already thought about it. When the spring plowing is over and the homestead is bought, my son will rebuild a brick house to ensure that Dad can live comfortably."

Gui Qingqing didn't know that the father and son of the Li family were plotting against her. She started embroidering purses when she got home, so she could sell them on the next market day. The second aunt's daughter-in-law gave birth to a son, and she hadn't nursed her yet. I don't care about the little things she gave, after all, it's a thought...

She was busy until it was almost dark, and she could no longer do needlework. Gui Qingqing started cooking dinner. In order to save lamp oil, she didn't turn on the lamp. She didn't know that it was time to eat. She couldn't light the lamp, but it turned out to be lamp oil useless.

Gui Qingqing sighed, she had no choice but to eat in the dark, and after the meal, she went to find a rope to tie the firewood gate, when someone asked, "Is there anyone at home?"

Gui Qingqing recognized Li Song's voice, and was taken aback. What was he doing here?It can't be... He shouldn't be that kind of person, right?

Gui Qingqing was a little scared. Fortunately, Li Song didn't intend to enter the house. She took the rope and went out. Li Song asked, "Sister and sister, why don't you light the lamp?"

"The lamp oil at home is used up. What's the matter, brother?"

Li Song said with a smile: "I went to cut some thatch in the afternoon, and I went to find a few people just now, and I made an appointment to change the roofs of these three thatched houses tomorrow. It's fine to tidy up the houses while the weather is sunny these days. Hold on, I came here to tell you that since there is no lamp oil, don’t clean it up, I’ll help you tomorrow morning.”

"Ah?" Gui Qingqing was a little at a loss, okay, why did you think of changing the roof of this dilapidated house?
