Chapter 7 The sun is coming out from the west
Zhuang Shi left, and she raised her eyebrows, Sun family?In my memory, her daughter-in-law was not easy to get along with.

His family is several houses away from the banker's house, and there are six people in total. The elders of the two parents escaped together, and they have a daughter-in-law, a granddaughter, and a grandson.

Life is not easy, but it is much better than the dealer.

Hearing the knock on the door, Sun Wu and her daughter-in-law Sun Qiao were cooking in the kitchen, so she poked her.

"Lihua, open the door and see who it is?"

"It must be a stone. Apart from him who always comes to our house to borrow things, who else would come?"

Mrs. Qiao was a little unhappy and made a face.

"Don't talk nonsense. No one is in trouble. When our family is in trouble, the banker will definitely help."

"It's hard for me. His parents' illness has already emptied the family. It seems that he is not far from death. It will take a long time to pay back the things he borrowed?"

"Shut up and open the door quickly!"

When the courtyard door opened, Mrs. Qiao rolled her eyes and looked at Zhuang Shi dissatisfied.

"Brother, is something wrong?"

Zhuang Shi hurriedly handed over the jar in his arms, "Sister-in-law, this is freshly made lard. I gave it to your family to eat. I'm so sorry that you always come to borrow things."

When she heard about lard, Mrs. Qiao's face looked better. She was afraid that Zhuang Shi would use lard to pay for it, so she took it and asked angrily.

"What about the food that I borrowed from my family before?"

"Borrowing means borrowing, giving means giving. The food will be returned after a while. This is for your family."

Qiao curled her lips and rolled her eyes again, "That's pretty much it!"

Zhuang Shi knew what kind of person she was and would not argue with a woman.

"I'm leaving!"

Mrs. Qiao didn't even let him in, she closed the courtyard door with a bang, and Mrs. Wu came out and asked.

"Is it a stone?"

"Yes, I made a fortune somewhere. I boiled lard and sent a jar to my family. The sun is really shining in the west."

"Hey, lard is not cheap. His family is in a difficult time. How can he ask for other people's things?"

"Mom, he gave it to me voluntarily. He put it in my hand and left." Mrs. Qiao was afraid that her mother-in-law would return the lard.

"Okay, let's quickly set the table for dinner!"

Wu grabbed the lard from her hand, glared at her dissatisfied, touched the hot jar and sighed.

Qin Yue spent a day making twenty pairs of medicinal powders. One pack a day can be taken for 20 days. There is no need to think about medicine for the time being.

She had just cleaned the tools when Zhuang Shi came back.

He washed his hands and smiled at her:
"You must be hungry. I made dumplings from the refining oil residue. Wait, I'll cook them."

Qin Yue came to the kitchen curiously, looked at the strange-shaped dumplings, and smiled.

"Is this a dumpling?"

Shitou blushed: "We rarely make dumplings at home, and we only eat them during the Chinese New Year. I peel them and my parents make them. I'm very good at it."

"Our family is in good condition. We should pack it frequently in the future. Only when it looks good will we have an appetite."

"Yes, I will do well."

Qin Yue returned to the table in the courtyard. It was a little dark now. She lit the oil lamp, drank boiled water, gently clasped the table with her fingers, and hummed a tune in her mouth, looking leisurely and natural.

Zhuang Shi put the dumplings on the table and grinned as he watched Qin eat them one by one.

"Is it tasty?"

Qin Yue glanced at him and said to her heart, this boy looks so good-looking when he smiles. It's so rare that he has beautiful white teeth in such a harsh environment!
"It's just okay. I'll prepare a spice for you later, which can be used for stir-frying and adding to dumpling fillings."

"That's good. It would be nice for us farmers to have meat to eat. We usually cook like this, and the spices are only found in wealthy households."

"Cooking is also a craft. If you use it well, you can make money."

"Hey, I listen to you."

"How much foreign debt did your parents owe when they were sick?" Qin Yue asked while eating.

Speaking of this, Zhuang Shi's eye circles turned red.

"The shopkeeper of Minsheng Pharmacy is kind-hearted and asked me to pay it back slowly. I owe 20 taels. Aunt Sun secretly lent me [-] taels of silver. I owe him [-] jins of stick noodles. There is nothing else from this family."

Qin Yue thought that the remaining ten taels of silver could not be used to pay off his debts for the time being, so she had to pay attention to her family first.

"Don't worry, I just paid it back for you years ago."

"Thank you!" Zhuang Shi choked up and couldn't speak. At this time, the door of the courtyard rang. It turned out that it was Mrs. Wu who had collected the lard. Feeling that she couldn't bear it, she took out ten kilograms of stick noodles and dragged her husband Sun Yugui to the banker's house.

Hearing someone knocking on the door, Qin Yue returned to the house.

Zhuang Shi opened the courtyard door, feeling a little guilty. After all, the Qin family was still at home, and it was a bit shameful to have no household registration.

"Uncle Sun, Aunt Sun, are you here? Come sit down in the room?"

The two people waved their hands hurriedly and looked at him with concern:
"No, no, are your parents okay?"

"I've been asleep and haven't woken up yet."

"You kid, your family is in such trouble, why should you give me lard? This is ten kilograms of stick noodles, you take it and eat it first." Sun Yugui handed over the bag.

Shitou pushed back with his hand: "Uncle, aunt, take this back. The family bought a lot of food today."

"Really rich?"

"When I went up the mountain to cut down trees, I dug up a small ginseng tree. I went to the medicine shop to sell it for some money. I bought some medicine for my parents and bought some grain. After harvesting the wheat, I returned what I had borrowed."

"Why are you so anxious? You are so diligent. I believe that when your parents recover from their illness, life will definitely get better and better."

Zhuang Shi felt bitter in his heart, but he smiled stupidly on the surface.

"Thanks to Uncle Sun and Aunt Sun for helping us over the past few years, otherwise our family of three would have starved to death long ago."

"What are you talking about? Your parents and we escaped together. We should help each other. If you don't need it, then Auntie will take it back first."

They were both farmers, so they didn't have so many polite words. The couple glanced inside and found nothing strange, so they turned around and left.

Zhuang Shi wiped his sweat. Sooner or later, Qin's affairs in the Zhuang family will be known to others. He can't delay it any longer. He will take her to see the village chief tomorrow and settle the household registration matter as soon as possible to avoid long nights and dreams!

Qin Yue in the woodshed listened to the noise outside, put her hands under her head, and looked at the roof.

It is better to finalize the household registration first, and then talk about other things. We can no longer hide and hide like this, as if we are too shameful.

The two ideas coincided with each other.

The next day, after breakfast, they looked at each other and said in unison.

"Why don't you get your household registration done today?"

"Should you complete your household registration today?"

After saying that, they both laughed at the same time.

"Who will your parents watch when we go out?"

"Just ask Aunt Sun, who came to the house yesterday, to look after our house for a day!"

"Is she reliable?"

"No one is more reliable than her!"

"Then I'll walk to the town first. After you make arrangements at home, go to the village chief. I'll take all the household registration with me."

Qin Yue thought for a while, then took out five taels of broken silver from her arms and handed it to him.

"Take it, you need money to ask for help. With it, things will go much smoother. Remember, money can speak. If he gets in trouble, use this to hit him!"

Zhuang Shi took it and grinned: "Okay!"

Qin Yue left the banker's house with a bamboo basket on her back. She left early today and her temper was like that. No one dared to provoke her anymore.

Zhuang Shi gave his parents medicine, locked the courtyard door, and went straight to Sun's house.

Walking in the village, he found several people gathering together and chatting, as if they were talking about something.

"Hey, have you heard? Yu Danzi was beaten, and his face is swollen like a pig's head!"

"Who beat him up? He's so capable. I've long disliked him. He always hangs on the wall at night and listens to other couples doing things. Sometimes, he also..."

"What else? Isn't he still coveting your wife?"

"It seems that I have also spied on your home, right?"

"Hey, which woman in the village doesn't he miss?"

"I heard that the village chief went over to take a look, but didn't say anything when asked, and the reporting officer wouldn't let him go."

"Huh, there's something wrong in my heart!"

"When did it happen?"

"The night before."
