The splendid youth of the farm gate

Chapter 39 Preliminary Discussion on Land Purchase (1)
Niu Shi and Luo Zhuzi were stunned. The life of Qingguo's family was not even comparable to that of theirs. Why did they suddenly have rice to eat and give away to others!

"Guo'er, you..." Luo Zhuzi looked at Guo'er in a daze.

Qingguo found a bowl and put the rice in her pocket into it, then said to Luo Zhuzi and his mother: "My grandfather took our family to do a little business."

This matter had spread in the village a long time ago.

Luo Zhuzi originally wanted to learn from the young general, but after knowing that the young general didn't even teach Luo Fugui, he stopped thinking about it.

"Guo'er, are you okay?" Luo Zhuzi asked.

Qingguo smiled, found a pony to sit down, and asked: "Brother Zhuzi, my aunt said she wanted to send your Tonghua to be a maid?"

Luo Zhuzi and her mother looked at each other, Niu Shi gave Luo Zhuzi a wink, Luo Zhuzi got up and walked away.

"Guo'er, it's not my fault. Your aunt came to tell us about it. We didn't..."

"Auntie, don't worry, I don't mean to be angry." Qing Guo knew that Niu might have misunderstood her meaning, so she quickly said, "Whether Tonghua goes or I, sister Huifang, I have no objection." , I'm just a little weird."

Niu looked at Qingguo.

Qingguo smiled and said softly: "Auntie, will my aunt kiss my uncle?"

"Your aunt and brothers, she and your uncle are the best friends!" Niu said.

"That's right, since my aunt and uncle are the best friends, why doesn't she think about me, Sister Huifang first?" Qing Guo looked at Niu and asked.

"This..." Niu Shi paused. She didn't ask Luo Xiangju about this, but she didn't think about it, "Perhaps, she doesn't want you, Sister Huifang, to be a slave!"

Qingguo twitched the corners of her mouth, she didn't think it was the reason!

"Aunt, have you promised my aunt?"

Mrs. Niu shook her head. Although she really wanted Tonghua to go, she really didn't want to offend Mrs. Xu, who was so generous. Before she agreed, Mrs. Xu could point at her house and scold her for half an afternoon. If he went, the Xu family would have to dig up his family's ancestral graves!
"I told your aunt, Tonghua can go, but she has to tell your aunt first, don't come to my house to quarrel! I don't want to cause trouble." Niu said.

Qingguo sighed, it really is a sake celebrity face, Qianbo is touching!All Niu thought was that he didn't want to confront Xu, but he didn't think about the danger behind the high price.

"Auntie, I inquired about it. Most people buy a maid, and the death contract is only four or five taels of silver..."

"Guo'er, can it be the same? That's the maid of the magistrate's family!" Luo Zhuzi said aside.

Qingguo opened her mouth and wanted to say more, when she saw Tonghua walking in from the outside with a basket on her shoulders.

"Guo'er, why are you here?" Tong Hua is about the same age as Qing Ping, and they often play together.Before Guo'er could speak, she pointed to the outside and said to Niu: "Mother, Guo'er, her aunt is still arguing!"

When she knew that Luo Xiangju planned to let Tonghua go instead of Huifang to the county magistrate's mansion, Qingguo actually didn't care about the reason for the quarrel in the old house, and was just about to find an excuse to leave, but Tonghua suddenly let go Basket, stepped forward and took her hand.

"Guo'er, let's go out and play."

Without any explanation, he took Qingguo out.

Seeing that Tonghua pulled her towards the northwest corner of the old house as soon as she left the house, Qingguo was startled and understood what Tonghua meant.

"Tonghua, don't you want to go to the county?"

Tonghua looked back at Qingguo and signaled her to keep quiet.And in the following many years, the moment of looking back at Tonghua in the evening will always flash before Qingguo's eyes from time to time.

On the other side of the wall, Xu's voice was heard clearly.

"Don't pick these nice words, just tell me, why can it be Qingping or Tonghua, but not our Huifang? Our Huifang can't do it, isn't there Huifang? Your niece and you You don’t like it, and you still say it’s for our own good, who are you going to lie to!”

Qingguo looked at Tonghua, and saw Tonghua's brows were tightly frowned, and seeing her look, Tonghua pulled the corners of her mouth.Qing Guo was silent for a while, and continued to listen to the corner.

"It's so funny what you said. Whoever I am happy has to get your approval? You don't even look in the mirror to see your own virtue, but you still want to come and get my opinion? I'm going to tease you, you Even if they die in front of me, Huifang and Huifang won't be able to go!" Luo Xiangju said.

"Father, mother, you have all seen it!" Mrs. Xu turned to Mr. Luo and Mrs. Chen to complain, "This is what your daughter-in-law said. It's not as good as an outsider, Huifang..."

"Okay, shut up!" Mr. Luo slammed his pipe on the table, "Ju, tell me what it means. Why can't it be Huifang and Huifang."

"Father, just leave it alone!"

"Nonsense, I'm not dead yet, can I just ignore it!" Mr. Luo shouted.

"Hey, master, why are you being so cruel to the child? If the child doesn't tell you, there must be a reason for her." Chen assisted.

"What's the reason? If you can't say that you are ugly today, this matter is not over!"

Mrs. Chen is not willing to spoil Mrs. Xu, and treat her daughter fiercely in front of her, or is she the one she relies on the most, treating her as a dead person?

"Boss, what do you want to do? Do you want to eat people or what do you want to do? You try to shout again! Boss, you are dead, your sister is being bullied, you can't even fart! "

"Mother, what the elder sister did is really dishonest, what are you asking the child to say!" Luo Xingcai muttered.

Chen was so angry that she grabbed the feather duster and greeted Luo Xingcai.

"You worthless thing, you took some ecstasy from her, so listen to her..."

"Mother, mother, what are you doing? Talk well when you speak, why are you moving your hands?" Luo Xingcai yelled at Luo Xiangju, who had a frosty face, while dodging: "Big sister, hurry up and persuade mother."

Luo Xiangju glared at Luo Xingcai fiercely, grabbed Mrs. Chen, turned her head and said to Mrs. Xu who was still aggrieved: "Don't make trouble, I will give you two taels of silver, and let Tonghua go, and you are not allowed to go to her again." The family is noisy, I will take Tonghua away after breakfast tomorrow."

Qingguo and Tonghua under the corner of the wall were stunned.

After a long time, Qingguo looked at Tonghua, "Tonghua, you..."

Tonghua smiled, "With five taels of silver, my parents and my brother don't have to eat shredded taro for every meal, let alone go to the deep mountains."

Qing Guo was silent.

When Qingguo went back, the meal was ready, she washed her hands, and the family gathered around the table to start eating. Qingguo then told what she and Tonghua had overheard about the old house.

"What, your girl would rather give your uncle two taels of silver than let Huifang go?" Luo Xingzu asked.
