reborn widow

Chapter 8

Gui Qingqing was worried all the way along the way, for fear of meeting Deng Tuzi, and she was relieved when she saw Lijia Village from a distance.

Walking to the door of the house, she met Mrs. Wang, Gui Qingqing smiled and said, "Why doesn't the third sister-in-law come in?"

Mrs. Wang took a few steps and grabbed Gui Qingqing, "I'm waiting for you! By the way, why do you still call me the third sister-in-law? I should call you sister-in-law! Tsk tsk, you are really capable, big brother?" You are not afraid of the face... Hey, look at my mouth, I really deserve to be slapped, Qingqing, your clothes are so beautiful, did his uncle buy them for you? Now you can reach the sky in one step..."

Gui Qingqing was not very happy to hear this, and she really didn't bother to pay attention to her, Wang said cracklingly, until she stopped, Gui Qingqing asked: "What's the matter?"

"Yeah, I have something to do with my father-in-law." Wang's heart was scratching at the moment. It turned out that she heard that Li Song hired a carriage to bring back two big boxes of good things. Later, someone joked that Li Song made a fortune outside. , came back dressed in tatters on purpose, just to test their brothers, Mrs. Wang didn't believe it, so she wanted to come over to see what good things were in the box, but when she walked to the gate of the old house, she saw Li Song planting flowers in the yard. dishes, she was afraid, and some dared not go in.

Li Song's face, in addition to the scary scars on it, the coldness in the eyes is also frightening. She was hesitating at the door, but met Gui Qingqing who came back.

Seeing Gui Qingqing's outfit, Mrs. Wang was envious and jealous!Before anything happened, his uncle bought Gui Qingqing some good clothes!In a daze, I heard people say that Li Song is going to buy a homestead and build a new house. It seems that he has really made a fortune!
In fact, when Li Song came back, Mrs. Hu pretended to be sick and made a fuss. Li Bai wanted to take his father and elder brother to live with him. Bai was too frightened to speak.Mrs. Wang now regrets that she didn't listen to her husband at that time. She already knew that her elder brother was benevolent and righteous. If he really made a fortune outside, could he still treat them badly?
Gui Qingqing could also guess some of Wang's thoughts, she said with a smile: "Since there is something to do, why don't you go into the room and talk about it."

"Okay." Wang followed Gui Qingqing into the yard.

Seeing Gui Qingqing come back, Li Song stopped what he was doing and asked, "Why did you come back so early? I was thinking of picking you up after planting the vegetables."

Gui Qingqing smiled and said, "I told you that you don't need to pick it up, and the road is not far away."

At this time, Li Fuman came out of the house. When Wang saw it, he hurriedly said, "Father, my wife came here to tell you something. That's it. Last night, my wife and Erlang couldn't sleep. Thinking about this old man The house in the house is too poor, although the roof has been changed, but the house is ventilated everywhere, Erlang thought it was too wronged for his father to live here, why not move to my house, and when the wife comes, I will burn the kang for you. "

Wang's heart is a little proud, if the father-in-law is willing to live in his own house, the elder brother should be able to go with him, after all, the matter with Gui Qingqing is only a matter of course, and the wine has not been served yet!When he arrives at my house, I'll check it out first. If my eldest brother is really rich, my natal cousin does not have a husband's family. Although she is not as beautiful as Gui Qingqing, she is a big girl who has not left the court, and she has a dowry...

Wang's calculations were good, and she never thought of Li Fuman saying: "No need, I live here very comfortably. You can do whatever you need to do! My room is small, there is no room..."

The smile on Wang's face suddenly froze, and his expression was a little embarrassing. The old man didn't even let him into the house!
Gui Qingqing smiled and made a relief: "I actually forgot, the roof was changed yesterday, and the house was in a mess and I didn't clean it up. I'll invite you to sit in another day."

Mrs. Wang was not happy and wanted to say something, but when she caught a glimpse of Li Song's cold gaze, she was a little flustered, said a few words in a hurry, turned around and left.

Li Fuman sighed. In these years, he knows exactly who and what kind of temperament his daughters-in-law are, so how could he be so stupid?Full of calculations one by one, Li Fuman shook his head, and walked out with the dung basket in his hand.

Gui Qingqing went back to the house and saw Li Song's two big boxes in her room, she couldn't help being stunned, Li Song who followed in said with a smile: "Qingqing, there are too many things in my room, I can't put them down, so I moved to Here comes your house. This is the key to the box, you can keep it, and you can take whatever you like in it."

Gui Qingqing was not too polite, so she took the key, and Li Song continued, "By the way, I found two sets of clothes in this box, so you can make the two pieces of fabric slowly, don't worry."

Gui Qingqing was a little dumbfounded, he must have done it on purpose!It must be on purpose.

Li Song felt that her little tricks were seen through by her clear eyes, and felt a little embarrassed, so he quickly changed the subject and asked, "Your father didn't say anything?"

"No, my father can do anything if he has wine... By the way, I gave the two taels of silver you gave me to my father in exchange for the earrings left by my mother." Gui Qingqing said, taking out the earrings When he came out to see it, Li Song smiled and said, "This pair of earrings is not cheap, your father has lost a lot..."

Gui Qingqing laughed "Puchi", and then she was surprised again. She glanced at Li Song, "How do you know it's not cheap?"

"If my guess is right, then there should be the imprint of Xinshun Jewelry on it?"

Gui Qingqing still knew the name of Xinshun Jewelry. She quickly looked carefully at the pair of earrings, and found a small imprint in the most inconspicuous place. What did Li Song do before, how did he know these things, he wanted to ask, but thought that if he wanted to let him know, he would naturally say so, Gui Qingqing swallowed the words again.

Li Song saw Gui Qingqing holding the earrings in a daze, and said with a smile, "Do you want me to put them on for you?"

"No...no need..." Gui Qingqing blushed. Her ears are the most sensitive part of her, and she didn't want Li Song to touch them. "I haven't worn earrings for a long time. I'm afraid my pierced ears will eventually die."

"No, I can see your pierced ears, and I promise I won't hurt you."

Gui Qingqing panicked immediately, "No, I really don't need it! I'll talk about it later." She hurriedly put away the earrings.

Li Song smiled and had no choice but to give up.

Because she was not in a hurry to make clothes for Li Song, Gui Qingqing planned to make clothes for her second aunt's little grandson first. In a few days, the family would have a treat, and the gift hadn't arrived yet, which was not good.

Gui Qingqing has been busy for two days, making a new set of clothes for the children, embroidered a picture of rich and noble peonies on the chest, and even made a pair of small tiger-head shoes. The clothes and shoes are very exquisite. She couldn't put it down, and that day she sent the gift, and the second aunt Song and her daughter-in-law Du saw it, and they were full of praise.

Gui Qingqing looked at the baby who had just been born, it was so pink and tender, she couldn't help but think of her former child, and she was in a bad mood, so she left the second aunt's house very quickly, and went home unhappily , After walking a few steps, I heard someone shouting behind me: "Second Sister, wait."

Looking back, that small figure turned out to be her younger brother Xiaoman. She couldn't help being stunned, and hurried up to meet her and asked, "What's the matter? You're sweating profusely from running." She said, took out the The handkerchief wiped Xiaoman's sweat.

Xiaoman said out of breath, "Second Sister, it's not good. Someone came to our house and said that it was sent by the owner of a silk and satin shop in the county. He was telling his parents that he would buy you as a concubine! I'll give you a gift. A letter, you quickly think of a way..."

Gui Qingqing broke out in a cold sweat immediately, this scene was surprisingly similar to the previous life, Song Ziqiao actually came to buy himself again!Is this her fate?

Gui Qingqing remembered that when she and Li Song went home that day, Song Ziqiao should have sent someone to follow her. At that time, Xiaoman said that someone was lying on their door to peek inside, maybe it was someone from the Song family...

Gui Qingqing was afraid at first, but then she thought that she was married to Li Song, and immediately felt a lot more relaxed. She took out two copper coins from her purse, and Gui Qingqing handed it to Xiao Man, "You save this to buy candy, and you can listen to it later." When something important happens, remember to come and tell Second Sister. By the way, did Second Niang send you to study?"

"Mother has prepared all the four gifts for the master, and said that she will go tomorrow."

Gui Qingqing nodded, "That's good, you go back quickly, lest you worry about missing family members."

Seeing Xiaoman walking away, Gui Qingqing turned around and went home. Although Li Song was relying on her, her footsteps were still a bit heavy. The Song family is not something that ordinary people can afford. Even with Li Song around, it would be like a mayfly shaking a tree against the Song family, Gui Qingqing was still a little worried.

Li Song was drying grain seeds in the yard. Seeing that Gui Qingqing came back with a bad face, he hurriedly asked, "What's wrong with you? What's wrong?"

"..." Gui Qingqing shook her head.

Li Song hurried over: "What's the matter? Who said something nasty about you?"

It is said that there is a lot of gossip in front of the widow's house. In the past few days, people in the village have been talking about Li Song and Gui Qingqing.Li Song still knew something, and he just laughed it off when he heard it. Li Song had seen a lot of the world after traveling abroad for many years, and he had already found out the situation of the world, so he didn't care about such things at all.

Gui Qingqing still shook her head, "I didn't hear anything..." After thinking for a while, she asked, "Da Lang, do you still remember the man you met at the door of the tailor shop last time?"

"What? You met him? Didn't you go to the second aunt's house just now?"

"I came out from my second aunt's house and saw Xiaoman..." Li Song didn't understand why this matter had something to do with his brother-in-law again, so he listened attentively. Gui Qingqing said, "Xiaoman came to tell me that someone told me Tell Erniang that she wants to buy me to be a concubine... I guess it's him, the man we met at the door of the tailor shop, in fact, I've seen him before, at Ruishengxiang Silk and Satin Shop, he is Song Ziqiao, the owner of that shop..."

Although Li Song has only been back for a short time, he has still heard of Song Ziqiao's name. Seeing that Gui Qingqing's face was not good, he hurriedly comforted him and said, "Don't be afraid, so what if he is rich and powerful? You are already my wife." Now, your parents have no right to sell you."

Those gamblers would sell their wives and children when they got jealous of gambling. If Song Ziqiao dumped a lot of money, her natal family would have no right to sell her again, but Li Song had the right, what would happen to him?
Gui Qingqing is now a bit of a loser, she asked quietly: "Da Lang, what if he buys me from you?"

"Don't think about it." Li Song felt a little funny, he took Gui Qingqing's hand and said with a smile, "Don't worry, I won't sell it for any amount!"
