Chapter 69
Niu Ju was actually speaking in anger, and Tan Ji directly rejected the marriage, which made Xiong Lin feel very humiliated, so Xiong Lin came back from Qi's house yesterday, grabbed Niu Ju and scolded her all the time.

The scolding made Niu Ju feel uncomfortable.

So when Sheng Jiaojiao came to see her today, she couldn't control herself and lost her temper at Sheng Jiaojiao.

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, stood in front of Niu Ju, and asked:

"In your mind, I am such a friend?"

Although she minded Tan Ji marrying Niu Ju, she was also happy that Tan Ji assured her that he would never marry Niu Ju.

But Sheng Jiaojiao didn't intend to watch Niu Ju's joke either.

Niu Ju stopped talking, she squatted on the loess, her eyes were red.

In the desert, seeing her like this, Sheng Jiaojiao turned around and was about to leave, but Niu Ju grabbed her by the corner of her skirt.

She stopped and looked down at Niu Ju.

Niu Ju lowered her head and sobbed a bit,
"I'm sorry, Jiaojiao, I'm in a bad mood. We're best friends, and I'm just that. My aunt keeps scolding me. I, I'm feeling bad, I'm feeling bad."

As she spoke, her tears fell again.

Sheng Jiaojiao looked up at the sky, the wind was blowing mixed with gravel, she sighed, she didn't care about Niu Ju's attitude towards her, she just lifted her skirt and sat beside Niu Ju.

When Niu Ju's crying became quieter, Sheng Jiaojiao asked:
"Niu Ju, do you like Tan Ji?"

Niu Ju with red and swollen eyes froze for a moment, then immediately shook her head and said:

"Of course I don't like it."

"Then you like to gather the man with a dozen sheep?"

Niu Ju shook her head even faster. She didn't like Tan Ji, nor did she like the man with a dozen sheep.

She was sad only because her mother scolded her that no one wanted her, yes, no one wanted her, and the person she liked didn't want her at all.

So Niu Ju's tears flowed again, she turned her head to look at Sheng Jiaojiao, and cried:

"Jiaojiao, I'm different from you. You are blessed by nature. Everyone in your family holds you in their hands and it hurts. You don't have to work hard at all. You can get everything I want. You won't understand me." I don’t understand how much my father and mother hope that I can marry a good family, if, if I can be like you, they don’t have to bother me so much.”

Sheng Jiaojiao carefully tasted the meaning of Niu Ju's words, she frowned slightly, and tilted her head to look at Niu Ju, in the yellow sandy sky, Sheng Jiaojiao's smoky gray cotton and linen skirt swayed lightly.

she asked:
"Niu Ju, do you like my big brother?"

Niu Ju's face, which was crying, suddenly paused, and her dark face suddenly turned red, black and red, and there was a clear light in her tearful eyes.

Then, Niu Ju turned her head abruptly, not daring to look into Sheng Jiaojiao's eyes.

Seeing her reaction like this, Sheng Jiaojiao, who was only skeptical at first, has already guessed pretty well about the person Niu Ju likes.

It turns out that Niu Ju likes Qi Zhang.

Realizing this, Sheng Jiaojiao didn't know what to say. She thought for a long time before asking:
"That day, your mother came to ask my grandmother about my elder brother and you."

"Yes, the old lady said that she would ask Brother Qi's meaning, and then your family never responded."

Niu Ju turned her head again and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao with an embarrassing look on her face.

After Xiong Lin came back that day, she told Niu Ju what the old lady Qi said, saying that she would ask Qi Zhang, but until today, she has not given any reply to Niu's family.

I think the Qi family is not satisfied with Niu Ju.

That's right, if Qi Zhang had this intention for Niu Ju, the two families are so close to each other, there is no need to wait until now.

Niu Ju thought, anyway, he has already talked about this part, so let's just say it all.

So Niu Ju said:

"Jiaojiao, I'm not like you. You are loved by the whole family of the Qi family. You are beautiful. The whole village is saying that the Qi family is raising you as Brother Qi's wife. Naturally, my mother wants me to marry you." Well, when ordinary people come to propose marriage, she doesn't even look down on her. She thinks that if I want to marry, I have to marry such outstanding people as Brother Tan and Brother Qi, but the Qi family has you, so naturally they look down on me, so I Mother just moved her mind and wanted me to marry Brother Tan."

In fact, both Niu Ju and Sheng Jiaojiao can understand this point, just like Miss Qi said, who doesn't want their daughter to marry a good family?
In the end, Tan Ji did a better job than Qi Zhang, directly in front of Xiong Lin, and refused without even thinking about the test.

He made it very clear that he didn't want to talk about marriage, he didn't want to marry Niu Ju, he didn't like Niu Ju.

Sheng Jiaojiao sat beside Niu Ju and listened, sweating for Tan Ji.

He is so outspoken because he has met Niu's good temper.

If you meet someone with a bad temper, I'm afraid the girl's father will have to pick up a knife to chop him.

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her finger, pressed her eyebrows, and said to Niu Ju:

"I don't know what my elder brother is thinking, but Tan Ji has always been this kind of person. He not only rejected you, but also said that he doesn't want to marry me."

Seeing Niu Ju's surprised expression, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled again:
"My reaction when I heard this was similar to yours. It was quite embarrassing, but then I thought about it, it doesn't matter, I am such a good person, even if I don't marry for the rest of my life, I can still support myself, and I I will definitely rely on my ability to make the people around me live well, so if he doesn't want me, that is his loss, he has no vision."

Niu Ju was stunned for a moment, recalling Sheng Jiaojiao's words, and looked at Sheng Jiaojiao for a long time.

Just when Sheng Jiaojiao thought that Niu Ju still couldn't figure it out, Niu Ju suddenly clenched her fists, blushed with anger, and said:

"By, why? Is Tan Dalang really like what my aunt said, with eyes growing to the top of his head? He doesn't even look down on Jiao Jiao, he's so mad at me!"

Because of anger, Niu Ju didn't even have an honorific title, and called Tan Ji directly Tan Dalang.

Tan Dalang is too deceitful! ! !
"Yeah, not only does he look down on me, Niu Ju, I'm also telling you that my elder brother has always treated me as his own sister, and it is impossible for him to marry me as his wife."

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded again and again, the girl's family's friendship is increasing, and sharing the same hatred against the enemy is also a great help, she understands it too well.

Moreover, if her elder brother meant something to her, it would have been there long ago, how could it be possible to wait until now?
People in the village have nothing to do when they have nothing to do, so they like to gossip.

Niu Ju immediately shared the same hatred with Sheng Jiaojiao, she said angrily:

"There is no man in the world who has eyes. I don't like them, but you don't even like Jiaojiao. I'm so mad. Jiaojiao, don't be sad. When I see them, I'll beat you up." They have a meal and vent their anger for you."

"That's not necessary. Anyway, no one wants me, so I won't get married. Isn't my mother never married? She is living a good life now. She doesn't have to serve her parents-in-law, and she doesn't have a difficult sister-in-law to ask for. Deal with it, great, I want to be like my aunt now, in the future, I will find a man to have a child, and I don't want him to marry me as a wife, I will just raise the child by myself."

When Sheng Jiaojiao said this, Niu Ju was startled.

She turned her head to look at Sheng Jiaojiao, staring at this delicate and soft little girl.

Seeing that Sheng Jiaojiao didn't seem to be lying, Niu Ju asked cautiously:
"Jiaojiao, do you really think so? But, but."

"There is nothing wrong with it. Is my aunt living very badly now? No, she is living a very good life. I want to be like her. Now I run my own business and earn money to support my family. In the future, I can also support her. raise your own children."

In this regard, Sheng Jiaojiao seemed very confident.

Niu Ju opened her mouth exaggeratedly, looked at Sheng Jiaojiao for a while, then seemed to make up her mind, and stammered:

"Then, that, then I want to be like you, um, I also want to be like you. Since the person I like doesn't like me, then I won't marry anymore. I will make money with you, so I will buy the first sheep, and I want to buy many, many sheep.”

"Yes, that's right."

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded, stretched out her hand, put her arm on Niu Ju's shoulder, waved her other hand into the air, and shouted:

"To hell with the men, we can make money and support our families."

"That's right, go to hell!"

Niu Ju supported the horn with both hands and shouted into the air.

After shouting, she giggled again. The simple and honest girl who grew up in the yellow land of Zhishou County never struggled all day long because of whether a man likes her or not.

If you figure it out, you'll be fine.

Seeing Niu Ju's mood relaxed, Sheng Jiaojiao smiled and talked about another matter with Niu Ju.

She wants to hire daisy to gather herbs for her.

Because she was afraid that Niu Ju would be suspicious, Sheng Jiaojiao talked about Chen Adi again, saying that Chen Xiong was a big drug dealer in Daze, and Chen Adi cooperated with Sheng Jiaojiao a few months ago to plant a batch of medicinal materials in the dirt depression behind Qi's house. Now is the season of picking herbs, so hire someone to pick herbs.

The trees planted in the backyard of the Qi family gradually grew more and more. Sheng Jiaojiao didn't plan to keep the apple trees in the field a secret.

Sheng Jiaojiao took the initiative to talk about the wages. The wages for a day's work are the same as the price of selling apples at the market.

"So much money, I'll do it!"

Niu Ju immediately recommended herself, counting with her fingers:
"Jiaojiao, you don't even know that apples are very popular now. Several vendors have told me that if I can supply apples to them for a long time, they will take them all at once every day at the market price. I don’t have to spend so long setting up a stall.”

So she had all the time to help Sheng Jiaojiao pick the herbs.

Sheng Jiaojiao nodded and said to Niu Ju:

"Then you can earn two wages now, Niu Ju, have you ever thought about paying one wage to your mother every day, and the rest, the extra money I give you, you can use Come buy sheep."

In fact, she didn't want to influence Niu Ju's thoughts, it was just a suggestion.

Niu Ju lowered her head silently, with a hesitant expression on her face, she stopped talking.

Her aunt treated her well, and planned everything for her, but every time Niu Ju made money, her aunt would take a large part of it.

Niu Ju actually fought against it, saying that she wanted to make money to buy sheep, but Xiong Lin would scold Niu Ju every time, what's the use of spending so much money to buy sheep?

People can't feed themselves, but can they raise sheep well?
The only girl in the Niu family is Niu Ju. The most urgent task is to find a good man to marry and let this man take care of the Niu family.

Xiong Lin even told Niu Ju very bluntly that she wants to raise sheep, okay, marry a good man and go to the man's house to raise them. There is no grass in the yard of Niu's house, and there is no way to raise sheep.

She almost made it clear that Niu Ju was going to seduce Qi Zhang.

To put it bluntly, Xiong Lin's thoughts are deeply ingrained, and she feels that the ultimate destination of a woman is to get married!

The conversation fell into silence for a while, and Sheng Jiaojiao didn't force Niu Ju to sit next to each other on the loess slope, looking at the endless loess in front of them.

The two best friends sat like this for a while, and returned to their respective homes when it was time for lunch.

As soon as Sheng Jiaojiao got home, she began to check Qi Rong's handwriting.

The kid had already finished writing a stack of characters in a hurry, and drove the mule to the military camp to deliver the goods. After lunch, Sheng Jiaojiao went to the dirt pit behind the house with the clay pot on his back.

After fully realizing her abilities, Sheng Jiaojiao began to control her own water, and was able to create amazing effects.

She used her own water to mix more than half of the water carried from the pond, so that the crops could be controlled to grow at a normal speed.

Instead of growing all of them overnight, it can also ensure that the crops are well hydrated and the color is fresh and tender.

So now Sheng Jiaojiao started planting small vegetables in the soil depression again.

For Sheng Jiaojiao, growing crops has never been a problem, the problem is that there is no manpower.

After watering the side dishes, Sheng Jiaojiao found a place in the soil, sprinkled some medicinal seeds, and watered it several times. When Niu Ju came back from the market in the afternoon, he could eat Bring cow chrysanthemum to pick herbs.

This can only be done once, because once Niuju knows the place of Tu'ao, he will have a general grasp of the growth rate of the crops here when he comes again.

Who would have known that when Sheng Jiaojiao finished her work and just returned to Qi's house with the clay jar on her back, she saw Niu Ju standing in her courtyard waiting for her with red and swollen eyes.

"what happened?"

Shocked by Niu Ju's appearance, Sheng Jiaojiao hastily put down the clay pot and came up to her, and pulled Niu Ju into her room.

Under questioning, Niu Ju was crying and explained the reason intermittently.

It turned out that her uncle came to borrow money, and Xiong Lin lent all the money Niu Ju had earned these days to her uncle.

"Borrowed all of them?"

Sheng Jiaojiao raised her eyebrows, seeing Niu Ju crying and nodding her head, she sat on the edge of the kang calmly, and asked:
"Then what do you want to do? Let's go get the money back?"

"me."

Niu Ju, who was at a loss, thought for a long time before saying to Sheng Jiaojiao:
"I thought, forget about the previous money."

"never mind?"

After hearing this, Sheng Jiaojiao looked at Niu Ju, she was not surprised that Niu Ju would make such a choice.

Sometimes this person is too simple and honest, and it is also annoying. If this happened to Sheng Jiaojiao, she would have already instructed Qi Rong to get the money back from Brother Xiong Lin.

My own life is not going well, so how can I lend so much money to others?
