reborn widow

Chapter 32

Li Song took his father home. Li Fuman knew that the eldest daughter-in-law was now the magistrate's adoptive daughter. He was worried about Gui Qingqing's changes. When he went home, he found that the daughter-in-law was still the same daughter-in-law, no different from before. The old man was very happy.

After dinner, the family of three returned to the room. Gui Qingqing told about Wang Zhenzhen's visit. Li Song smiled and said, "Don't pay attention to her, let them bite the dog, let's just watch."

Gui Qingqing hurriedly asked: "Where did that golden hairpin go?"

Li Song took out a golden hairpin from his bosom, and was about to put it on for Gui Qingqing, but Gui Qingqing quickly snatched it from her hand, she looked carefully, and hurriedly said: "This is not that hairpin."

"Of course not, I bought this for you. Do you like it?"

Gui Qingqing nodded with a smile. On one end of the golden hairpin was a parallel-hoofed lotus, with a line of small words on it: "Qingqing Zijin, leisurely my heart", and the word "pine" inscribed on the back.

Li Song said with a smile: "A spring night is worth a thousand dollars, let's rest early. In the first few nights at the inn, you are always afraid that people will hear you. I can't enjoy myself with my hands tied..."

Gui Qingqing glared at him in embarrassment, and said, "Da Lang, I'm telling you the truth, what if Wang Zhenzhen told Shang Shi the truth?"

"So what can I say? Even if I say it, Shang will not believe it easily. Besides, as long as she inquires about Song Ziqiao's gift of gold at our wedding, she will always know. Even if Wang Zhenzhen doesn't say anything, Shang Shi will also know about you... she is a woman, we are afraid that she will fail? Besides, Song Ziqiao is already dead, if she still insists on this matter, is she a fool?"

What Li Song said was reasonable, but Gui Qingqing was still a little unwilling to punish Shang Shi, and she also regretted it. If she hadn't said those ambiguous words to Song Ziqiao that day, the situation might have been different, but it was true at the time. There is no way to get rid of him, who knows if he will use force at that time?Besides, when I saw him, I was scared to death...

There was nothing to say all night, and the next day Gui Qingqing packed her things and planned to see her sister Osmanthus fragrans. Although the old lady of the Qin family didn't say anything to Osmanthus fragrans, she gave her a double share of things. Obviously there was one portion of osmanthus fragrans, because there were too many things. , Li Song planned to hire a car to take Qingqing there.

Before the car arrived, Li Yu's wife, Mrs. Hu, came. As soon as she entered the door, there was a flattering smile on her face, "Sister-in-law, I hope you will come back. I knew you were coming back yesterday, so I rushed here today." gone."

Gui Qingqing was taken aback by Hu's enthusiasm. At this moment, she heard Wang Zhenzhen shouting, "What right do you have to sell me? I'm not from the Shang family!"

As soon as Gui Qingqing heard the word Shang family, she quickly listened carefully, and heard a familiar voice say: "You are indeed not from the Shang family, but your contract of selling yourself is in my hands! You will never think Right?" That voice was Shang Shi.

Wang Zhenzhen screamed, "You're talking nonsense! That's impossible!"

But I heard Shang ignored her, but said to another person: "Master Hu, you have experienced the contract of selling your body, now you can take the person away."

Wang Zhenzhen seemed to know that the matter was irreversible, so she said nothing more. Gui Qingqing listened for a long time, but there was no other sound, but there seemed to be people walking in and out of the yard. Hesitating, Hu asked, "What's going on?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said, "I'm not very familiar with my neighbors, so how do I know what's going on? What's the matter with you today? Come in and sit down."

After entering the house, Mrs. Hu looked at the decorations in Gui Qingqing's house, and she couldn't help being jealous and envious, but she had heard some news from her younger brother, so she didn't dare to say anything nonsense at the moment, but just smiled, "Sister-in-law , isn't daddy here?"

"Well, Daddy has gone to the wine shop." The old man is very interested in wine making now, and Li Song and Gui Qingqing couldn't persuade him, so they had to let him go.Gui Qingqing asked: "You have good news, how do you know I'm back?"

Mrs. Hu did not dare to say that she sent people to inquire every day, she just smiled and said: "I came here today to solve your problems, sister-in-law."

Gui Qingqing was surprised, what's wrong with her?If she was really in trouble, Mrs. Hu should have run far away.

Mrs. Hu didn't wait for Gui Qingqing to speak, and continued: "Sister-in-law, since we separated, father has always been served by the eldest brother and sister-in-law. Now, the status of sister-in-law is different, and there should be a few servants to serve the family. I'm thinking about it." I bought it outside. I don’t know the background. I have an aunt. A few days ago, the man in the family disappeared, and I didn’t have a son. Do it, so I thought..."

Before Hu could finish speaking,

Gui Qingqing deliberately said: "It turns out that your aunt intends to sell herself. I don't think it's appropriate. She is your relative after all. If I buy her, she will be a slave and a handmaid. At that time, there will be no shame on the faces of my brothers and sisters." Light..." She understood Hu's meaning, this was the old man's idea!Want her aunt to be the old man's stepmother?The family employs a widow, and if rumors spread over time, she has no choice but to let her in. Gui Qingqing doesn't want such a thing to happen...

Hu couldn't help but blushed, "I didn't mean that!"

"Oh?" Gui Qingqing said with a smile: "It turned out that I misunderstood, but even if I want to add staff to my family, I still need to buy someone with a contract, and besides, there is already a small stone waiting by my father's side, so I don't need others."

Hu's face flushed and turned pale, "Sister-in-law, I'm really thinking of you..."

Gui Qingqing was a little annoyed, she had already made it so clear, didn't she understand?Gui Qingqing smiled, and slowly said word by word: "It turns out that the younger siblings are kind. If the father still lives in the younger siblings' house, I will naturally not say anything or stop them, but this is My home, how to arrange my home, it is not up to others to give pointers."

Hu couldn't help but wanted to get angry, and finally she remembered that Gui Qingqing in front of her was already the magistrate's adopted daughter, and she couldn't handle it, so she said expectantly, "I'm not... I'm not looking at my sister-in-law's house." There is a lot of housework, and I think my sister-in-law can be more leisurely with more helpers... But I have a lot of things... Seeing that my sister-in-law has packed these things, is this going to go out?"

"Yes. Just about to leave." Gui Qingqing didn't want to talk to her, at this moment, Ximei ran over, "Grandma, the carriage is here."

Hu smiled and said, "Where is sister-in-law planning to go?"

"Go and see my sister's house."

Seeing that half of the car was filled with big and small bags, and it looked like there were food and clothing, and two bolts of brocade, she couldn't help but said: "Oh, sister-in-law, you took so many good things to go. Big Brother knows, I'm afraid it's wrong?"

But at this time Li Song came in from the gate. Hearing this, he said: "I know what's wrong? This is a gift from the Qin family to your sister-in-law and her sister."

Seeing Li Song coming back, Mrs. Hu panicked, "Brother, sister-in-law, I'm leaving first."

Gui Qingqing didn't bother to talk to her at first, but when she thought about going far away, if she didn't buy something for her nephews, she couldn't justify it. Wait a minute, I bought some gifts for you and the children of the third family, and take them back by the way . "

Hu was overjoyed when he heard that, Gui Qingqing took out two parcels, one for each family, without favoritism.

Seeing Mrs. Hu leave, Li Song asked, "What is she here for?"

Gui Qingqing explained Hu's purpose, and Li Song said angrily, "It's a pity that I boasted that my natal family has scholars, and they came to control our family."

Gui Qingqing said with a smile: "I'm curious that she's well-informed...I'm leaving first, so I can come back sooner."

Li Song exhorted: "I hired this car for a day, you can take this car when you come back. By the way, our family really has a few more people. I don't want you to cook by yourself every day in the future, and your fingers are rough. , Besides, don’t you still want to open a pastry shop? I’m afraid the family will be too busy.”

Gui Qingqing nodded in agreement, and then went to Guihua's house by car.

Osmanthus fragrans' belly was already showing, she was very happy when she saw her sister at first, and asked questions, but when she saw her sister brought so many things, she couldn't help being surprised, she quickly shied away, "Qingqing, your sister-in-law will be upset if you bring such things, hurry up Take it back, my sister's house has food and clothing, everything is missing..."

Gui Qingqing didn't want to talk about her mother at first, but her sister said she didn't want these things, so Gui Qingqing thought about talking about her mother, which made Osmanthus cry a lot. Love, now that I know the truth of the matter, it seems to be relieved. Gui Qingqing persuaded her a few words, and she smiled and said: "If I am the narrow-minded person, I may not be in trouble! Cry, I think I feel better. By the way, when will we open the pastry shop you mentioned last time?"

Gui Qingqing smiled and said: "You have a big belly now, can you do it?"

"I can do it. I'm still helping my family with farm work."

Gui Qingqing said: "When I went to Qingzhou Mansion this time, the old lady of the Qin family gave 3000 taels of silver. Let's each have half of it. Why don't you and your brother-in-law also move to the county town? Our sisters are also companions."

Osmanthus readily agreed, and the two of them talked about their younger brother Gui Mancang again. Osmanthus smiled and said, "I didn't expect Xiaoman to be a student, and my husband praised him a lot."

Gui Qingqing was also very relieved when he heard the words, it doesn't matter if his younger brother can read well, the key is to be a good person, in this life, he should be a good person, right?
The two sisters talked for a while, and it was noon. Gui Qingqing had lunch at Zhang's house, and then went back to her motherless mother's house. She bought two jars of wine for her father, and some books, pens, ink, paper and inkstone for Xiao Man. Several packets of pastries.

Xiaoman hasn't come back from the school yet, but Erniang is very enthusiastic about Gui Qingqing when she hears that Li Song has made the classic history of Qingpu County.

Gui Qingqing can see clearly the warmth and coldness of human relationships, so she doesn't care. She looked at her father, who was sleepy and drunk.

At the door of the house, Gui Qingqing saw twenty or thirty people standing in the yard, she was taken aback, what's wrong?
