The forced marriage failed, but the poor boy turned around to exorcise demons and save people

Chapter 17 There is already a candidate
Qiao Mu looked cold: "What does it have to do with you?"

Qiao Mu's speaking attitude made Qiao Yu look angry: "You are the daughter of my Qiao family!"

Qiao Mu raised her head and glanced at him: "Why didn't you talk about Qiao's daughter when you bullied Yuan...me?"

"You..." Qiao Yu's eyebrows raised heavily: "Why did you bully you? Didn't I just ask you to do some work?"

"Besides, if it weren't for my family, you would have starved to death!"

Qiao Mu stated: "The harvesting of crops throughout the year is mine, going up the mountain to collect firewood and picking fruits is mine, going down the mountain to raise and feed pigs is mine, and washing clothes is mine. You said that your family does everything except cooking." What?"

"You eat and live in my house, isn't this what you should do?"

"I live in a small hut and eat wild vegetables. Where do I live in your house? What do I eat in your house?" Qiao Mu paused at this point: "My house has two acres of land and the house is still in your house. , I haven’t asked for it yet, remember to return it to me, don’t let me come to the door by myself!”

Qiao Mu stared at Qiao Yu: "If you don't return it...my parents said they will come and ask for it in person."

For some reason, Qiao Yu swallowed and took a step back: "What are you talking about? How can I have anything from yours in my house? Besides, my third uncle and my third aunt have been dead for so many years!"

Qiao Mu's eyes were dark, and he turned his head while carrying the prey: "Remember to leave the door open in the middle of the night, otherwise my parents will keep knocking on the door!"

Qiao Yu: "!!"

"Zhiqing, even if you are anxious about getting married soon, you can't be with such a person."

"So what if we're together?"

"Do you really want to marry her?" Song Zhize's face was extremely ugly: "She refuses to marry her and talks crazy words. Are you afraid of overcoming your sick aunt..."

"Song Zhize!" Song Zhiqing's voice suddenly became stern and his eyes were cold: "Don't say anything about things that are not your business."

"Otherwise, it's time for you, a child, to come to an end!"

Song Zhize's pupils tightened and he forgot to say anything when he saw Song Zhiqing.

Song Zhiqing turned to look at Qiao Mu: "Let's go! Ignore what they say."

Then the two of them went down the mountain and placed the prey at Qiao Mu's house. Qiao Mu's place was relatively remote and not far from the foot of the mountain.

After putting them down, they went up the mountain to carry back the bamboo and thatch.

Before I knew it, it was getting dark. When I got home, I put down the bamboo and had to deal with the wild boar.

After thinking about it, Song Zhiqing suggested: "You can ask the Liu family to come over and help." Qiao Mu had helped them, and now it would be better if someone could help them deal with the wild boar, and they could also send some meat to the Liu family after it was finished. After all, Qiao Mu couldn't be at odds with the villagers all the time. connect.

Qiao Mu agreed to Song Zhiqing's proposal and turned to find the Liu family.Everyone in the Liu family was shocked when they heard that Qiao Mu had hunted a wild boar. However, they thought that Qiao Mu could even fight monsters and save dead people. It seemed that hunting a wild boar seemed insignificant.

Liu Mingfeng and Liu Jianping came together, and Liu Mingfeng's face looked very pale.But it's also fast when dealing with wild boars.

Originally, Qiao Mu was going to cook, but Qiao Mu wasn't very good at it. Now there were people, and Meiyin couldn't turn into a human.

Song Zhiqing was the last one to cook, and Qiao Mu went over to help with the wild boar. Her strong Liu family father and son were almost stunned.

By the time it was taken care of and after dinner, I was almost tired.

Qiao Mu cut some meat and gave it to Liu Jianping.But before leaving the house, Liu Mingfeng's eyes fell on Meiyin again: "This cat is really cute."

Song Zhiqing: "...It's really cute. It's getting late. Hurry up and go home. Aunt Liu will be worried if you're late." Liu Mingfeng reluctantly withdrew his gaze, but at this moment, he felt like something was watching him and his back was hairy. .He couldn't help but glance at it, and seemed to see a pair of dark eyes?
After Liu Mingfeng left, a green snake lay on the bamboo and lazily raised its head, looking at Meiyin thoughtfully: "He looked at you a dozen times tonight. Do you know him?"

Meiyin: "...Why are you here?!"

Song Zhiqing raised his eyebrows: "I've been here a long time ago." He followed him while carrying the bamboo.

After everything was done, Song Zhiqing returned home, and the two of them made an appointment to go to the market the next morning.

……

Early the next morning, Qiao Mu and Song Zhiqing carried the meat and the hare to ride in a cart. This time they rode in another ox cart, also from Murakami. The driver was Old Man Guan, but Old Man Guan's cart was new and the oxen were strong. , there are more people when pulling.

There were six people in total on this trip including the old man driving the car, and the car moved even slower.

Several people looked at Qiao Mu, Song Zhiqing and the prey they brought, and they were all envious: "How did you catch this prey, Qiao Mu? It must have cost a lot of money!"

Qiao Mu saw the greed in their eyes and said lightly: "You won't know until you sell them."

Several people were choked and stopped talking.

The next moment their eyes fell on Song Zhiqing again: "Zhiqing, what do you think of the niece I proposed last time? I'm not telling you, my niece is really capable, doing laundry, cooking, and going to the fields and mountains. Exit. Those two sons are also obedient. They will call you daddy when they come. They can also help you work in the fields. The betrothal gift is only one tael of silver. How can you expect such a good thing? "

Qiao Mu couldn't help but look sideways, marrying her two sons in?

Does she feel that Song Zhiqing will suffer more if this is the case?
Song Zhiqing smiled and said: "My aunt and niece must be very powerful, but Zhiqing already knows that there is already a candidate, so I won't delay my aunt and niece."

Although he was smiling, his words were a complete rejection, leaving no room for error.

"Has someone chosen? Which girl? How much is the betrothal gift? Your family is so poor, how can she come?"

Song Zhiqing's expression dimmed a bit: "When we have decided to invite all the aunts and uncles to have a wedding banquet." This sentence made them speechless.

Song Zhiqing and Qiao Mu didn't speak again.

Only a few people on the side changed the topic to discuss things in the village.

"I think Qian Xiu'er has probably escaped. I've been looking for him for several days but there's no sign of her."

"Where can she escape to? She has gone to her parents' house several times, and even her parents don't know about it."

"Her natal family?" One of the young women, Mrs. Wang, frothy at the mouth: "Because there is no betrothal gift for official marriages, she has been going to the Zhang family to fight against Qiufeng these years. She is very greedy. Now the Zhang family fights the Qian family whenever they see it. The Qian family doesn’t recognize this daughter anymore, and even if Qian Xiuer escapes, she won’t be able to go to the Qian family.”

"I heard that I was afraid of jumping into the river. I fished all the way downstream but found nothing. It's really hard to see people alive or dead."

It turns out that Qian Xiuer, who recently disappeared in the village, is the daughter-in-law of the Zhang family. She came from the next village and was married to an official. The Qian family was relatively poor and favored sons over daughters. Qian Xiuer was good-looking, so she wanted to buy Qian Xiuer's betrothal gift. He was a Qiao at the top and was unable to achieve anything at the low level. In the end, he was directly transferred to Zhang's family in Shangyang Village.

Seeing that the last betrothal gift was in vain, the Qian family kept going to the Zhang family to enjoy the autumn breeze, which made the Zhang family dislike Qian Xiuer. Later, Qian Xiuer gave birth to a son, which was better, but who knew that the Zhang family didn't know what was going on and suspected this? The whereabouts of the child are unknown, and her husband Zhang Gaowen often beats and scolds Qian Xiuer. Qian Xiuer's life was difficult. She escaped once a few years ago and was caught. Now she has a son, but she has disappeared again.

I just feel sorry for her son. Life has become more and more sad recently, and his mother is gone.

Several people shook their heads with a hint of sympathy.

After Qiao Mu listened to the discussion, some scattered pictures flashed through her half-closed eyes. Her expression remained indifferent, and she watched a woman's life indifferently.
