Chapter 44

On the way back from Ba Li Gou, Zhang Cai kept thinking about what Mr. Liu said.

"I agreed to let Qianqian take care of Xiaolong because I wanted her to repay my kindness. The hero saves the beauty and the beauty repays the hero with her body. That is a legendary story. I never thought about it. Now that Xiaolong's injury has recovered, I want to bring Qianqian back in a few days. It's not good for her to always stay at Brother Zhang's place."

What could Zhang Cai say?

There was a gap between his family and the Liu family. Xiaolong was a farmer. Compared to Liu Qian, a well-educated girl, he was indeed unworthy. These days of getting along, in the eyes of the Zhang family, Liu Qian was a golden phoenix. The Zhang family didn't have a parasol tree, so how could the phoenix fall?

Although Liu Qian really liked Zhang Xiaolong and was willing to live with the Zhang family, who knew what it would be like when they really lived together in the future?

Rather than being upset in the future, it was better not to be together now. Ai, it was a pity for Liu Qian, this good daughter-in-law, and Xiaolong's infatuation.

Zhang Cai sighed as he walked. He sighed all the way to the Guozhuang House. His brows didn't loosen.

At home, Zhang Xiaolong and the others were naturally waiting, hoping that Zhang Cai could bring back good news. But when they saw Zhang Cai enter the door with a gloomy face, they knew that things didn't go well. Zhang Cai entered the house and sat on the chair. Zhang Xiaolong quickly poured water for him. Zhang Cai drank the water and rested for a while. Then, he told them about what happened at Mr. Liu's house.

Everyone was nervous and didn't speak. Guo Sufei asked Zhang Cai, "Do you want to tell Mother about this?"

Zhang Cai thought for a while and said, "Don't tell her first. Mother knows that we went to Ba Li Gou. If there is good news, she will be the first to tell. Since we don't tell her, she must know that it's not good news.

Oh right, where's Liu Qian? "

Guo Sufei pointed to the inner room and said, "When she saw you come back, this child was shy and hid first.

I'll call her out now and tell her what her father said. Let her pack her things first. "

Zhang Xiaolong said from the side, "Mother, I'll go call her. I don't think Qianqian will go back. There's no need to pack her things first."

Guo Sufei looked lovingly at Zhang Xiaolong, who was in love, and said, "Okay, you go. Maybe Qianqian can persuade her father."

Not long after, Liu Qian followed Zhang Xiaolong out of the room. Her face was a little pale. She looked at everyone and didn't say anything. She quietly sat down on a chair in the corner. Everyone also sat down and looked at Liu Qian quietly.

Actually, in Liu Qian's heart, she was racking her brains and could not understand what her father meant.

Ever since she was young, her father had always followed her wishes and had never gone against her wishes. She had the final say in the matter of transferring her husband. In the past, there were countless people who came to propose marriage, but her father had never expressed his opinion. However, based on her own likes and dislikes, this was indeed strange. She had decided, but her father wanted to oppose it. Could it be that he was afraid that Uncle Zhang would cheat him?

However, it shouldn't be. Could it be that he really wanted her brother to get married first and then consider her?

Thinking of this, Liu Qian was also troubled. Liu Kai's vision was surprisingly high. He didn't even like the girls in the nearby villages. If she waited for him to get married first, wouldn't she become an old lady?

Liu Qian raised her head and looked at everyone's eager eyes. She forced a smile and said, "I don't quite understand what my father means. In a few days, when my father comes to pick me up, I will ask him properly."

Then she looked at Zhang Xiaolong and nodded at him. Only then did Zhang Xiaolong reveal a trace of a smile from his face.

This night was destined to be a depressing night. Everyone didn't eat well for dinner. They hurriedly ate a little and then cleaned up. When Guo Sufei was delivering food to her grandmother, her grandmother asked if Zhang Cai had brought back good news. Just as Guo Sufei was about to stutter, her grandmother said, "It's okay, Sufei. I know our family's situation very well. These children are very outstanding, but our family's situation is like this. It's normal for others to dislike us.

Let the children leave it to fate.

If it's not a family, they will enter the same house. Our daughter-in-law will marry over sooner or later. "

When Guo Sufei heard this, she was both happy and worried. She was happy because her mother could see more clearly than herself. She was worried because her mother's last wish could not be fulfilled. She was a bit unfilial. She was worried because her mother's last wish could not be fulfilled.

After dinner, everyone was not in the mood to work. They chatted for a while and then went to sleep. Only Zhang Cai and Guo Sufei discussed in low voices in the central room for a long time before returning to their own room.

There was no oil lamp in the inner room. Guo Sufei groped around in the dark and got on the kang. She laid there and was still thinking about the things that she discussed with Zhang Cai. At this time, she heard Liu Qian tossing and turning and couldn't sleep well. She asked her, "Are you thinking about your father's words?"

"Yes, Auntie." Liu Qian answered vaguely.

Guo Sufei said, "Qian Qian, in fact, your father is also good to you. After all, you are still young and haven't experienced many things. Your life experience is also lacking.

Your father has his own ideas and hopes that you can live a happy life. We all understand. After all, a family like ours can't give you much.

When your father was young, it was because of the family's financial situation that he didn't let your mother take good care of her body. This caused his lifelong regret, so he values this very much. Most importantly, I think he wants to find a scholar for you. He and your brother are both scholars. Naturally, they hope that your husband is also a scholar. You two can recite poems and write couplets. This kind of life is what you should have.

As for Xiaolong, he is my own son. Of course, I think that he is very good. However, our family's financial situation was indeed not good back then, so we didn't let him study. This was also forced by life. Who doesn't want their children to be successful? "

"I know, Auntie. I now vaguely understand Father's intentions, but in my heart, I still feel that reciting poems and being romantic is bliss. You fetch water and I water the garden, you plow the field and I weave cloth is also a kind of bliss. The two people in the family have the same heart and love each other. Although they are somewhat poor, they can change it through their own hands. I grew up in the countryside, so I don't have to worry about my mother's health. My body is very good. Although I haven't done farm work since I was young, I believe that if I do, I won't be worse than others." Liu Qian said very unconvinced.

Guo Sufei smiled and said, "Qian Qian, you are really a child who doesn't admit defeat.

In fact, marriage is often not just a matter between two people. You have to integrate into a new family and adapt to their life. You also have to let them accept you. It is not just your husband who can accept you.

Moreover, there are many small things like oil, salt, soy sauce, vinegar and other small things in the family. Any small thing will make your life unhappy. "

Liu Qian said, "Auntie, I know all about these things. When I was at home, Father and Brother didn't know how to do housework. I did everything. I believe that I am fully prepared for all of these.

And … And during the time I lived here, I feel that the atmosphere at home is very good. It is very harmonious. I can feel a feeling here that I can't enjoy in my home. I feel that I can integrate into this family very well. "

Her voice became softer and softer, as if she was embarrassed.

"Also, the most important thing is that I think Xiaolong is very good. He is very good in all aspects. I don't want to lose the opportunity to make my life happy because of family circumstances. In fact, I have hesitated before. I feel that Xiaolong is illiterate and there is nothing to say to me. I also thought that I can teach Xiaolong to read and write. He also agreed. I think that we will live a good life and you won't have to worry."

Liu Qian's voice was so low that it could not be heard. Fortunately, it was dark and Liu Qian's face was already red. She was able to say all these words.

Guo Sufei was very gratified when she heard this. She also comforted Liu Qian, "Qian Qian, today you have said all these. Auntie is very happy. You also saw that our family likes you very much. Not only Xiaolong, your uncle and I also sometimes see you as our daughter-in-law. Xiaohua and Xiaohu also want to call you sister-in-law.

We will do our best to marry you. Do you still remember the last time in Lu Town? Didn't that bully compensate us with money? "

Liu Qian said, "Oh, yes. If you didn't mention this, I would have almost forgotten.

That is not a small sum of money.

“

Guo Sufei said: "Just now, I discussed with your uncle. If your father is really poor because our family is poor and doesn't have enough money to let you live a good life, we plan to exchange the banknotes. I believe that this amount will definitely satisfy your father."

Liu Qian immediately stopped her. She said, "Auntie, this money must not be used now. If the bully has an ambush in Lu Town's bank, then wouldn't we be walking into a trap?

If we are not 655% sure, we must not do this. Otherwise, we will not be able to live a normal life, let alone let my father be relieved.

Moreover, my father is not a person who only cares about money. He must have other ideas. Everything will wait for him to come. "

Guo Sufei also said, "That's right. I also said that to your uncle. But your uncle seems to have drilled himself into a dead end. He is afraid that your father will take you away, so he thought of this method.

Later, when your father comes, we will properly ask him about his thoughts.

Anyway, I feel that if Xiaolong does not look for you, he will not take a fancy to other girls. Maybe he will not look for other girls for the rest of his life. "

Liu Qian smiled and said, "Auntie, look at what you are saying. How can I be that good?

It is also our fate that I can meet Xiaolong. "

Guo Sufei said, "Yes, it is fate. But fate is determined by the heavens. It depends on the person to be able to turn fate into a real family.

The heavens do not care about this.

We should go to bed early and have enough energy to take care of our family. "

Liu Qian said, "Okay, Auntie. You should also go to bed early."

Liu Qian told Guo Sufei about her worries. She felt very relaxed and fell asleep in a short while. Guo Sufei heard Liu Qian's light snoring and felt happy. Even if this kind of girl could not be her daughter-in-law, she wanted to wish her happiness. Thinking about it, she also fell asleep.

Only in the opposite house, Zhang Cai and Zhang Xiaolong could not fall asleep. They did not know when they fell asleep.
