The sturdy peasant girl in space

Chapter 60 The Qi Family's Past
"Blame me, I should have told you about the family affairs a long time ago. You can eat quickly, go back to the house and go to bed early, and I should be fine." Qi Tianyu then went to Li's room with the food.

Seeing that they were all gone, Bai Jingwen was not in the mood to eat, so she took a few mouthfuls and went back to the house, went back to the space, took a shower and got into bed.I couldn't fall asleep thinking about Bai Niu's matter in my heart, and I'm afraid Li's situation is similar. Could it be that there were only so many Chen Shimei in ancient times?Or are the women here too fragile?
"What are you thinking, like pancakes, the heat in the bed has been evaporated by you, so don't catch a cold anymore." Qi Tianyu asked after he came in, looking at her.

"Are you thinking about my aunt? What's going on with your mother, are you not angry with me?" Bai Jingwen asked.

"It's okay, I drank a few mouthfuls of porridge and fell asleep. Where is Ruyi with me? Don't worry about it. It's not your fault." Qi Tianyu replied while taking off his clothes.

"What's going on? Is there a story in your family?" Bai Jingwen asked curiously seeing that their family was not like a farmer in their bones.

"It's all like this, there's nothing to hide. It's a long story. My grandfather is a Juren in my hometown and also the master of the academy. My father met my mother who brought lunch to my grandfather every day when he was studying in the academy.

The two met each other a lot and started talking, and then they became more and more familiar and secretly fell in love, all of which were noticed by my grandfather.My father is also a top-notch scholar in the academy. He is very knowledgeable and is appreciated by my grandfather. Although the family is a little poor, my grandfather has three children in his life. No matter how young couples in the industry can survive.In the end, regardless of my grandmother's objection, the decision was made and the two got married.

My mother's dowry was [-] acres of fertile land. At that time, my father and his family were very happy, so they treated my mother very well, and the husband and wife lived a happy life for several years.

When I was pregnant with my younger brother, my father won the Juren Award, and the whole family was very happy. If he won the Juren Award, he would be able to claim land property under his name, and the family gradually became rich.When my mother was pregnant with my younger sister, my grandpa suffered a stroke and left with my grandma. All the property in the family was in my mother's hands.

My grandma wanted to bring the things over, but the family had an uncle, a second uncle, and a younger uncle who had not yet separated. My mother knew that as long as she took it out, she would send it to the public, and my mother would not agree no matter what.

My grandma thought about it and secretly gave her niece from her natal family to my father to be a child.Although my mother is unwilling, she knows that this is the way of the world. She, a woman who has lost her natal family, is powerless to resist and can only bear it.

In order to satisfy the family's vanity, my father went to Beijing twice to take part in the general examination. Although he did not rank well in the last time, he also won.It is said that he lived in Beijing in the name of waiting for an official position, and even took his cousin who became his aunt to the capital.Let my mother stay at home and wait until she has an official position before coming to pick her up.My mother waited for a year and finally got a letter from Beijing, but it was indeed not a letter to accept her to go to Beijing, but a letter of divorce.

The Qi family reasoned that my mother was divorced, so her property must be kept, but my mother knew that she was gone, and my father's eldest son and eldest daughter were taken. This is a big taboo for the aunt. It will be a very sad day, maybe even my life will not be saved, so I asked her to find a senior brother named Zhou to help.

It was only later that I found out that Senior Brother Zhou was the direct son of a dignitary in the capital. The fifty mu of land used as a dowry was sold.

I brought the three of us to the county, and my brother and I were going to school. My mother took the three of us and could only earn a little change from embroidery. In addition, Mr. Zhou would arrange some mates for me from time to time, so I lived a good life.

Two years later, Mr. Zhou returned to Beijing. After hearing the news, the Qi family not only wanted money but also ruined my mother's reputation, saying that Mr. Zhou only saved us because my mother was his concubine.

At that time, my mother would have been forced to death by them if it wasn’t for the sake of the three of us. Later, one of my grandfather’s students was also my father’s classmate. I couldn’t stand it anymore and secretly told my mother that it was impossible to sell the property and take us. Let's go, let's wait until we grow up and have the ability to talk about anything.

In the end, my mother knew that the problem was serious when she saw that our brothers didn't even go to school, and asked that senior brother to help sell all the property.At that time, my mother cried for a whole day and night in the house holding the more than 1000 taels of silver bills.

Later, we planned to leave, but it started to rain. About ten days later, there was no food in the house, and it was time for the house to be handed over.My mother made up her mind and took us to a carriage the next morning, prepared some dry food, and went to Qingzhou Mansion, saying that one of my mother's aunts was there and would always give us a place to live.

It wasn't until I got there that I found out that my aunt had moved away.There was also a flood at home on the night we left, and later my mother said that it is better to rely on myself than anyone else.We hid the money and dressed us up as refugees. After we set off from Fucheng, we heard that there was no flood here and rushed over.

I rented a small courtyard in the county and lived there for half a month. The government said that if the victims did not want to go back to their hometowns, they could settle there, but the conditions were not good. We observed for a few days to confirm that there were no acquaintances among the refugees before we settled down.

But I didn't know the situation in the village and I didn't have the foundation, so I had to pretend to be poor. After two years, my mother's mood has stabilized. In addition to your marriage, I bought the land and the house.

When you talked about your aunt today, it reminded my mother of the hardships she suffered in the past few years, so don’t take it to heart if you lose control for a while, I wish I had told you earlier. "

"I will pay attention to what I say in the future, go to sleep." Bai Jingwen said.

"Well, I understand that there are probably a lot of things to do." Qi Tianyu didn't know how to deal with this kind of thing, he could only see what the Bai clan would do.

The next day, Bai Jingwen got up early to clean the pot that was not cleaned yesterday, and then made a few side dishes to cook porridge.Just as he was about to carry water, he suddenly heard a knock on the door, thinking that who would come to the Bai family so early.When he opened the door, he saw a handsome boy dressed in black.

"Excuse me, is this Bai Jingwen's house?" the younger brother asked coldly.

"I am, I don't know what you want from me?" Bai Jingwen replied, but seeing that the other party looked like a hidden guard, he was more careful in his heart like a killer.

"I am from the Yan family, and the young master calls me An Qi. These are the things and letters our young master asked me to bring to you." The younger brother replied after seeing that her vigilant tone had slowed down.

"It's early in the morning, come in, just as the meal is ready, you can come and eat some too." After seeing Yan Jinhao's words, Bai Jingwen let him in and brought him into the kitchen. After drinking a bowl of brown sugar water for him, he went into the room and called Qi Tianyu. After all, it is not appropriate for her to entertain a big man.
