bastard little man

"Is the taste okay?" Liu Cui asked several people at the dinner table.

"It's delicious, it would be even better if it was waxed pig's trotters." An Qiyu couldn't wait to celebrate the Chinese New Year, and he could eat cured pig's trotters and bacon every Chinese New Year.

Liu Cui saw that brother Yu kept putting pork trotters on her plate faster than the other three on the table, so she quickly followed behind and kept picking meat for An Datong, "In a few days I'm going to help Baixiatang collect herbs again, eat more to gain strength."

When the two siblings heard this, they immediately lost their appetite.

An Datong is the one who makes the most money in the village, because he always goes to the town to find jobs, which are dangerous jobs.

For example, to collect herbs for Baixiatang, you don't need these rough-handed guys for general medicine, but you need these strong and bold people to collect herbs on the edge of a cliff or in a place where poisonous snakes are infested.

An Datong is honest and not playing tricks. The people from Baixiatang have cooperated with him for many years, and they will find him every time they have a job. Of course, the money will not be less.

"Father, you don't need to help them collect medicine anymore. Brother Yu and I are going to get married soon, so you don't have to worry about it in the future. Don't do these dangerous jobs."

An Datong saw that the two children were not in the mood to eat, and scolded his wife, "Why are you talking so much when eating!"

Liu Cui didn't dare to answer immediately.

"Father!" An Qiyu followed his sister's wishes and persuaded, "The grandson you have been thinking about for so long is about to get his wish, but you must live well. If something happens to you when you collect the medicine, Then your grandson will be bullied in the future and no one will help, how pitiful it is."

An Datong gave his brother a blank look, "I really have to tell you about this matter! I know you are kind, but when will you change your habit of talking nonsense? Open your mouth and talk nonsense all day long. If you go to the Qiu family If you still act like this, your father-in-law and mother-in-law will kill you!"

"Anyway, it's not rough, don't do this kind of dangerous work in the future, and my sister and I won't need your money." An Qiyu said here and began to settle accounts, "All the money from my brother-in-law will be paid by my gift money, daddy , from now on, you and your mother will work hard at home to farm for the elderly.”

An Qiyu listened to this from the side, and finally asked what she had been keeping in her heart all along, "Mother, is the betrothal gift that the Sun family sent over today from your money?"

Liu Cui looked at the head of the family with some guilt, An Datong only ate his food and didn't speak, his daughter was always smart, it made no difference whether he said it or not.

An Qi said that seeing her parents like this, there was something she didn't understand.In a trance, she shed tears, looked at the food on the table and felt guilty, put down the bowls and chopsticks and went back to the room.

An Qiyu was a little nervous and didn't dare to speak loudly, "Mom, my sister seems to be crying."

"I'm going to see your sister." Liu Cui went in with a plate of food, and before leaving, she took a look at An Qiyu and told him to be more honest.

Looking at the table of delicious pork knuckles on the dining table, An Qiyu didn't want to eat it, and he didn't want to eat it.Eat it, at this time it seems that I have no conscience, don't eat it, I feel a little greedy.

"What are you staring at while eating?" An Datong tapped the table with his hands.

"Oh." An Qiyu couldn't help but asked after eating, "Father, then you promise me that you won't go to collect herbs anymore."

An Datong didn't speak, and ate with vegetables.

"Father~" An Qiyu didn't give up when he couldn't hear the answer.

"Okay, okay, I won't go," An Datong said perfunctorily.

An Qiyu was still worried while eating, and planned to go to Baixia Hall tomorrow to have a talk with the shopkeeper.

-

This day, Qiu Shizhen was resting at home when she heard a lot of noise outside.

"Go outside and have a look." Calling Xiao Yezi, Qiu Shizhen covered her head with the quilt in agitation, her voice was weak.

Xiao Ye Zi yawned and walked out, and when she came back she was full of energy.

"Master, Miss Yao'er is ordering someone to pack the boxes."

"Packing boxes?"

"Hey, did you forget? I'm about to go to your future husband's house to give a betrothal gift. Oh, by the way, just now, Miss Yao'er told me that you need to go to someone's house to give a gift tomorrow, and today you have to clean up Fan"

"Get off, don't go!" Qiu Shizhen got angry and cursed, "The only one came here for money, and you want me to go to his house to give gifts in person? Bah!"

Xiao Yezi was a little embarrassed, her wife would definitely not condescend to settle down there, if her young master didn't go to give the engagement gift, how embarrassing her little brother would be.

"Master, if you don't go, how can this little brother hold his head up in the future? Everyone will laugh at him."

"Don't go! Headache!" Qiu Shizhen crawled out of the quilt and smashed things, "Talk more, and I'll smash you!"

Xiao Yezi curled her lips, her young master always said that what she said was always what she said, even though she couldn't say it now, she might have the whim to go to settle down in person tomorrow, so she stopped trying to persuade her.

On the second day, a carriage that had been prepared long ago and twelve loads of betrothal gifts were waiting for the young master at Qiu's house.

"If you don't get up again, it will be a late hour," Xiao Yezi said impatiently.

"It's not marriage, what's the time?" Qiu Shizhen didn't move a hair, "I feel that my parents are lying to me. How can there be a good girl who won't marry me? They can't find a good family. Just take a rough guy to fool me, I won't do it!"

"Master, how many times have I told you that my brother is not rough at all, and his relatives are also responsible, otherwise, how could Madam agree?" Xiao Yezi heard footsteps, guessing that Madam brought Sister Keyer coming.

"Xiao Shi, you are messing around again!" Lin Xiu entered the room, and saw his son covering his whole body with a quilt, "The marriage was arranged by the mother, and that brother did not offend you. You made him ugly on the day of the engagement." , then how can the two of you be in the same heart?"

"No," Qiu Shizhen dissatisfied, "If I'm not satisfied with him, will I spend my whole life guarding this little brother I don't like?"

Keyer couldn't help chuckling when he heard this, and Lin Xiu also laughed at his son's simplicity, "How can I only be one for the rest of my life? Okay, then get divorced and marry again. Otherwise, you can also bring in a few more concubines, how can mother have the heart to make you feel wronged by someone you don't like for the rest of your life?"

"Really?" Qiu Shizhen poked her head out of the quilt and asked cautiously.

He knew that some families welcomed several brothers and daughters back home, and he also knew that some families only married one in their lifetime.

There are several people around who have a little money, so Qiu Shizhen used to think that all men were like this, but after seeing that his father had several brothers-in-law and only married one, he was a little confused. The matter was wobbly.

"Of course it's true. When did mother lie to you?" Lin Xiu looked at his son and said, "Well, if you really don't want to go, let it go. It doesn't matter if you let Yao'er and Qingshan bring the gift money. Then Anjia Village heard that It is one of the poorest villages among the dozen or so villages nearby, I guess, the feng shui in that place is not good, so it’s better to go there.”

"Thank you mother." Qiu Shizhen came out from under the quilt and made funny gestures for Lin Xiu to tease her.

Lin Xiu grabbed Qiu Shizhen and wiped his sweat with a handkerchief, "What's the matter with you these days? Why are you sweating all the time, and you're often covered under the quilt, what should you do if you fainted from shortness of breath? Do you want to ask a doctor to see you?" look"

Qiu Shizhen wiped her face indiscriminately, "Mother, it's fine, I'm in good health."

-

"It hasn't arrived yet, I haven't seen any shadows yet." A few children came running from a distance and said to the Anda family.

An Datong gave snacks to a few children who were running errands, telling them to let them know when they saw someone from a distance.

There was food and tea prepared earlier in the hall, and An Datong and his wife were waiting outside the house, very nervous.

Although they knew that the Qiu family was rich, the two of them had only met the servants of the Qiu family once to agree on a small gift and a deposit since they discussed the marriage.

When the young master came here today, the two couples were afraid that the tea prepared as a gift would not be appreciated by others. Last time Liu Cui specially went to her mother's house to bring the tea, but even those sent by Qiu's family would not appreciate it, so An Datong went to town early. Buy the best tea you can afford to serve.

All the people who could come from the nearby villages came, and everyone gathered around Anjia Village to watch the excitement.

"Why haven't you arrived yet?" The members of An Datong's family were not in a hurry, but those who watched the excitement were a little anxious.

"Could it be that you won't come?" Some people who were so envious that their eyes would bleed were sarcastic.

"How can it be, my man just came back from the town, and he passed by the group of gift-giving people. I heard that there was a carriage walking slowly in front, followed by dozens of dowry-bearers. Heavy boxes, don’t walk slowly.”

An Datong was also anxious in his heart, but he couldn't show it, lest outsiders would see the joke.

"Dozens of people carry it? How many good things do you get?" The person who said this said enviously, gesturing with one hand.

"Hey, who told my brother to be beautiful?"

"The one from Chunshan's family is also beautiful, but why didn't the people from Qiu's family take a fancy to her?"

"Hey, why don't you say that An Datong is far-sighted? Brother Yu is soft-skinned/soft and literate and knowledgeable. Who in this town can compare?"

"That's right, this little brother married the young master of Qiu Yuanwai's family, and that girl was betrothed to the educated Sun Baizhen, this An Datong is really..." The person who said this lowered his voice, "Look at the honest Yes, I still have this heart.”

……

Everyone waited for another quarter of an hour, and finally saw a carriage approaching from a distance.

"Here we come, let's enter the village soon." Several children moved quickly among the crowd, and sent a message to An Datong immediately.

"Go and see if the tea is still warm?" An Datong pushed his wife to check.

Both mother and elder sister were busy outside, and An Qiyu was a little bored to be alone in the room.

I don't know what kind of lame the young master has become. Is he lame for the rest of his life or can he be cured in the future?

I heard that he can beat people, but this time his leg was broken because he was fighting with people in the county town.I don't know if I can win if there is a real fight.

If you can't win the fight, can you run away?Will it hurt my parents if I run away?Will the Qiu family ask their parents to pay them money?

……

An Qiyu just sat on the bed and thought wildly, thinking about the worst outcome.
