Beautiful woman

Chapter 58 Chapter 58 The vulgar city woman

"Cough, cough, cough." Qin Xiangxiang's cold was not cured, and he started coughing again not long after he knelt in the windy mourning hall.

The little maid just knelt behind Qin Xiangxiang and handed her a basket of folded paper money.

Qin Xiangxiang coughed, grabbed a lot of paper money, and threw it into the brazier to burn.The flames rose into the sky, and Qin Xiangxiang said with satisfaction: "It's quite warm."

Co-author: Mrs. Qin wants to burn paper money to keep warm?The little maid watched Qin Xiangxiang quickly burn most of the basket of paper money.

A woman outside stretched her head in to see Qin Xiangxiang. Seeing Qin Xiangxiang burning paper money vigorously, she said in a strange tone: "Sixth sister, later bring some unfolded paper money and ask Madam Qin to fold it for Erlangjun sincerely." Turn it into a gold ingot, fold it into a lotus lantern."

Qin Xiangxiang wasn't annoyed when he heard this. He just looked at the little maid with a smile: "So your name is Sixth Sister. I see you don't have much to wear. I'll burn some more paper money so we can keep warm."

Her voice was so low that the woman outside couldn't hear her clearly, so she couldn't help but said angrily: "Sixth sister is young, Mrs. Qin, please don't instigate her!"

Qin Xiangxiang smiled, lowered his head and continued to burn paper money.

Time flies very long when I'm kneeling.Qin Xiangxiang felt that his legs were so numb that he could no longer feel anything. It was not dark yet.

After the paper money was burned, Liu Mei brought a large stack of thick unfolded paper money and placed it in front of Qin Xiangxiang.

Qin Xiangxiang said: "I don't know how to fold, you teach me."

Sixth sister looked outside hesitantly and saw the women chatting and did not look in. Then she picked up a piece of paper money, motioned to Qin Xiangxiang to look at it, and began to fold it.

Qin Xiangxiang said, "You must have done a lot of menial work in your daily life. Look at these delicate hands, they are all chapped. After I finish guarding the funeral of your husband Erlang, you can go to the Qin family's restaurant in Shuichuan Alley for dinner." Go and find me. I have a homemade plaster. Apply it for a few days and your hand will be healed."

Sixth sister just lowered her head and folded paper without saying anything.Although the master didn't give her any orders, she knew in her heart that it would be difficult for Madam Qin to get out once she entered Zhou's house.

She secretly looked at Mrs. Qin's hands. Although Mrs. Qin's hands were small, they did not look as smooth and flawless as those of young ladies from rich families.

Qin thought about origami money, folding one and burning one.

During this period, Guo's mother came once and asked the guarding mother-in-law: "Are you still at peace?"

The mother-in-law said: "It's quite peaceful."

Mother Guo then thought to herself that after all, it was money that moved people's hearts. It turned out that as long as the money was in place, Madam Qin, who had seemed to have a lot of backbone before, could only do so.

She also waited anxiously for dark.The wife gave orders and it was completely dark, so it was better to send people on their way.

Qin Xiangxiang didn't realize it and just continued to fold the paper money and burn it.

The spring days are short, and just when Qin Xiangxiang felt that his legs were hurting so much, the night finally fell.The little maid Sixth Sister was called away by her mother-in-law, and she was the only one left in the gloomy mourning hall.

There are three other women outside.

The cold wind blew, and the women couldn't help but shiver.

Seeing Qin Xiangxiang burning paper to keep warm, the ladies were a little envious of her.

Sixth Sister came back with food. Although it was cold food, it was also cooked exquisitely.Three plates of snacks, which looked pretty good.

Qin Xiangxiang didn't move. He turned around and put the snacks on the table where the sacrifices were offered: "Erlangjun probably can't eat these human delicacies. Come on, eat more before they are buried."

She took the opportunity to relax her numb feet.One thousand guan is not easy to earn!

Mother Guo had told her to watch Mrs. Qin eat it.Sixth Sister was a little anxious, pointing to the snack and then to her mouth.

Qin Xiangxiang relaxed his legs and his expression was a little distorted: "Ah, it hurts..." He didn't look at Sixth Sister at all.

Mother Guo frowned when she looked outside, but she didn't dare to come in and force Qin Xiangxiang to eat.The Master said that the reason why he had not succeeded before was because Qin Xiangxiang was not willing.She waits!Qin Xiangxiang had never eaten anything good before, so he would definitely not be able to bear it when he was hungry at night.

The wave of indescribable feelings finally passed. Qin Xiangxiang sat on the futon and shook his head at the anxious Liu Mei: "I'm not hungry. If you are hungry, just eat some."

Liu Mei didn't dare to eat, so she had to look outside frequently.

After all, it's because he's young and can't hide things in his heart.Qin Xiangxiang didn't want to expose her, but just picked up a piece of paper and folded it in his hand: "You Erlangjun are very pitiful. He was weak and sick during his lifetime. After his death, I am the only one who will guard his funeral. Hey, you Erlangjun are not young either. Well, since I didn’t get married, didn’t the Zhou family arrange a marriage for him?”

Sixth sister kept her mouth shut tightly.

Qin Xiangxiang said to himself again: "But he is frail and sick. If he arranges a marriage, he will probably..."

How could this Mrs. Qin be like that vulgar city woman outside?It would be better if she got married!Mother Guo frowned, luckily Erlangjun was dead...ah no, bah, what was she thinking.

That's all, she didn't believe that Qin Xiangxiang stayed there for three days without being hungry, without drinking water or eating.

Mother Guo could not continue to eavesdrop outside, so she returned to Mrs. Zhou's room to report the situation.

Mrs. Zhou didn't care: "Just let her stay for two more days."

Since the master said so, Guo's mother also asked the women to keep an eye on her and not let anything happen to Qin Xiangxiang.

No matter how hard the time is, it’s already midnight.

Sixth sister was young, leaning against the wall, her head pounding like rice.

Qin Xiangxiang didn't even fold the paper money, he just threw it into the fire.She threw it so fast that baskets of paper money were burned by her in a blink of an eye.Qin Xiangxiang stood up with difficulty and shouted outside: "Is there anyone outside? The paper money is gone, please bring it again quickly!"

The ladies can see clearly that the eldest lady of the Qin family just wants to burn paper to keep warm. How can she sincerely burn paper money for Mr. Erlang?Immediately a woman said: "Madam Qin, this paper money is enough for three days, you burned it too fast!"

Qin Xiangxiang snorted: "It's just paper money. If you burn more, Erlangjun will have a better life on the road to hell. I think you, an old guy, just bullied Erlangjun to death and don't want to honor him."

Qin Xiangxiang's hat was too big, so the mothers-in-law reluctantly sent two people to report the situation to the mistress.

The two men did not return for a long time, and all the paper money was burned. The other four women heard Qin Xiangxiang mutter to himself, but in a moment, the mourning hall was blazing with fire.

The four women were startled and rushed in to see Qin Xiangxiang burning a paper horse.

The women's heads were buzzing. It was neither a robbery nor a robbery. They had no choice but to watch Qin Xiangxiang burn the paper horse.

Qin Xiangxiang looked at them in surprise: "Hey, there are so many people outside. Why don't you keep watch for Mr. Erlang? Tsk, this Zhou family is really unique in doing things."

The paper horse was burned out quickly, and the mourning hall was filled with smoke.

Qin Xiangxiang started to cough: "I'm sorry, I haven't recovered from the cold yet." She coughed hard, and didn't cover her mouth with a handkerchief. Instead, she coughed desperately, as if her internal organs were about to explode. Coughed it out.

The ladies looked at Qin Xiangxiang warily and stayed away from her.

The commotion was so loud that Sixth Sister didn't wake up.

The woman who went to get the paper money finally came back carrying another basket of paper money: "My wife just sent people out to buy it, and there are still a few baskets. My wife said, Mrs. Qin, just burn it. Hey, we have carried this basket, it's time You go and carry it.”

A basket of paper money was heavy or light. Several women carried a basket back respectively. They were either extremely tired or more likely to feel sleepy.

Not long after the five-minute bang was sounded outside, Qin Xiangxiang straightened up and pulled up a paper horse to burn, when a voice rang out: "Ms. Qin, are you going to burn down the mourning hall?"
