The Beginning of Siheyuan: The Pig Killer of Qinjia Village

The meal is ready.

The two sat down at the table, and Qin Huairu was inseparable.

"Awei, where are you going this afternoon? I want to go with you."

This little look portrays a young couple in love, who don't want to be apart for a moment, but it feels good and very useful.

Chang Wei lowered his eyes to look at her little mouth and said with a smile.

"Can your little mouth go out? Stay at home and be good. I'm going to Liuwang Village. I'm going to collect pigs in the afternoon."

Liuwang Village? Isn't that the village where the village chief wanted to introduce a girl to Awei last time? Will I run into that girl when I go to collect pigs?

When she thought of this, Qin Huairu was like a kitten protecting its food, her almond eyes were watery, and she pouted her lips and said coquettishly, "I just want to go!"

Chang Wei put down his chopsticks and pinched her cute face.

"Are you not going to get married? Take a rest for a while. When your mouth feels better, come home and tell your aunt about us. Let me pick a date and I'll go to propose. By the way, before you leave, take care of the two pheasants in the kitchen and bring them back to your father to accompany his wine."

〈Hey! Xiao Ruru, how can I support you if I don’t make some money? I make money during the day, and I spend the night with my love.〉

〈No matter how passionate the love is, it still cannot be separated from the daily necessities, so I have to take care of the daily necessities first…〉

As soon as Qin Huairu heard the voice in her heart, she immediately smiled. "There are also piglets! You forgot about them again."

Chang Wei patted her on the head and smiled faintly.

"Little goblin, I've got you thinking about this!"

……

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Huairu skipped home with two processed pheasants in her hands.

The swollen little mouth has almost recovered and there is no sign of abnormality.

"Mom, mom, I'm coming."

Qin Huairu entered the yard and shouted happily in the yard.

"I'm back, why are you calling me?"

Meng Xiaoyun came out of the main room and said unhappily.

"Mom, this is for you. Awei told me to give this to my dad."

Qin Huairu handed the pheasant to her mother like she was offering a treasure, and then she leaned closer and whispered shyly, "Mom, Awei asked me to ask you, when is a good day for him to come and propose marriage to us?"

Meng Xiaoyun hung the pheasant on the wall and circled around her. Her heart skipped a beat. How could this damn girl give herself away for nothing without getting married?

He glared at her and pulled the shy Qin Huairu up. "Come with me into the house."

Qin Huairu was confused. Why did I pull me into the house for no reason?

As soon as he entered the room, Meng Xiaoyun looked at Qin Huairu with disappointment and asked directly.

"You two made out?"

Qin Huairu was exposed on the spot. She lowered her head and blushed. She knew why she was pulled into the house and rubbed the corner of her clothes nervously. "Mom, how did you know?"

Meng Xiaoyun frowned, pointed at her clothes, and snorted. "Nonsense, the clothes are wrinkled, how can I not see? He just wants you like that?"

Qin Huairu had never seen me so serious before, and she quickly shook her head. "No, no, we just kissed and didn't do that... Ah Wei said he would wait until the day he married me..."

Hearing that he had not been exposed, Meng Xiaoyun breathed a sigh of relief and began to replenish his brain on his own.

I thought it was okay, kissing and hugging was fine, but how could I give it to you before you got married? Oh! Silly girl, you are just an honest kid like Awei. If you meet someone else, I guess you will be eaten to the bone.

His frown immediately relaxed and his expression turned from gloomy to bright and he smiled happily.

"That's more like it. Awei is a sensible and steady kid, unlike you who are stupid and foolish."

"I think it's your great fortune to meet Ah Wei. You are so lucky. I don't know what good things you did in your previous life."

"Oh! Forget it. I don't want to talk to you anymore. I'm going to go and look at the date."

Meng Xiaoyun nagged Qin Huairu with disdain, then ran to the calendar with a smile on her face to check the date.

Qin Huairu was left with a confused look on her face, disheveled in the wind.

who am I? where am I?

Is this what my own mother said?

—……

Chang Wei here!!!

We arrived at Liuwang Village and, led by Uncle Liu, went to the home of Liu Laoer, whom he had mentioned last time.

Uncle Liu chatted with me on the way.

"Awei, I was originally thinking of introducing you to the eldest daughter of Liu Er's family, but I didn't expect that you already have a partner. Poor eldest daughter, she doesn't have this blessing."

Chang Wei glanced at him and saw that his face looked a little embarrassed, as if he was pointing at something, and his tone was full of sympathy and helplessness. Knowing that there was a story, he raised the corners of his mouth and asked lightly. "Uncle Liu, what do you mean?"

Seeing him approaching, Uncle Liu achieved his goal and started to tell him a story. "Speaking of that bastard Lao Er, he is really a piece of shit. He was led by the bastards of the Wang family to gamble and ruined a good family..."

After listening to this, Chang Wei chuckled. This was the story of a die-hard gambler who ended up with a pair of miserable mother and daughter.

The story begins when Uncle Liu's third uncle was kicked in the vitals by a donkey when he was young, making him infertile.

Because he was infertile, he never married. When he reached the age of fifty, he adopted a son, Liu Er, from a distant relative from another city, hoping that he would have someone to take care of him in his old age.

This uncle was a carpenter and his family was well off. When Liu Er grew up, he helped him arrange a marriage and bought him a beautiful wife. The next year, they had a granddaughter, and the family lived in harmony.

Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. In the second year after Liu's second marriage, he was influenced by the Wang brothers from the same village and got into the bad habit of gambling. At first, he listened to them, but later he became obsessed with gambling and secretly lost all his family's wealth, and even owed a lot of debts.

Not only did he anger his stepfather (Uncle Liu's third uncle) to death, but he also abandoned his wife and daughter and ran away overnight to avoid debt.

Liu Er ran away, and the Wang brothers came to collect the debt. His wife Liu Qing was also a hot-tempered person. She took out the IOU and acknowledged the debt, willing to pay it back slowly. But now she didn't have it, and if they forced her to pay it now, she would take her daughter and jump into the river, and no one would think about it.

Seeing this, the Wang brothers did not want to fight to the death. Moreover, Liu Qing and her daughter were nominally members of the Liu family. There were two surnames in Liuwang Village. Although the Liu family was not as prosperous as the Wang family, it was not much different. The Wang brothers did not dare to go too far.

But Liu Er was adopted, and Old Uncle Liu's third uncle was no longer around. His wife and daughter were not actually considered Liu clan members, and they had no blood relationship. It was good enough that they could come forward to help, but don't expect Liu clan members to help raise money to pay off the debt.

But how much income does Liu Qing, a woman with a child, have in a year? The income is low, and the mother and daughter have to survive, so the money they pay back each year is only enough to pay the interest.

More than a decade had passed, and Liu Qing's daughter, Da Niu, had grown into a beautiful young lady. She not only inherited her beauty, but also surpassed her. However, the original principal amount of 150 yuan was still not paid back.

The Wang brothers had another idea. Since Liu Qing couldn't pay back the money anyway, they went to the Wang family and proposed to marry the eldest girl to the Wang family as a daughter-in-law to pay off the debt.

Liu Qing hated the Wang family to the core. Her family was once a good family, but now it was destroyed. On the surface, it was all because of the gambler Liu Er, but if it weren't for the instigation of the Wang family, would Liu Er have lived an honest life and ended up like this? In this case, would she be willing to marry her daughter to the Wang family?

You can guess the result. He will definitely not be willing and will not agree.

After that, the Wang brothers deliberately came to Liu Qing's house every now and then to collect the debt, hoping to force him to give in. Old Uncle Liu came forward several times, but he could only delay the process, after all, it was only natural to pay back the debt.

Seeing that the girl is already fourteen or fifteen years old, in this era and at this age, many people in the village get married, so now the Wang brothers are pressing harder and harder...
