Flowers are expensive

Chapter 38 Who wins the fight and who will marry Tian Yisheng? 2
"Then why haven't you decided on a marriage yet?" Duan Qigu stretched her neck and retorted, "You're sixteen and you're still at home, what are you waiting for? You don't know if you're a mother if you don't want to stay in college? Ouch, Others know it clearly! Don’t you just want to be your wife and get a good fortune? Seeing that Yi Sheng has a good future, you really want to be the wife of the number one scholar!”

"I like how to plan for my daughter, don't mind your business! Who can't see your little thoughts? Isn't your niece also waiting to get married? Those eyes are staring at Yi Sheng, Yi Can Sheng look up to her? Yi Sheng doesn’t even look up to Jinxiu from Jincun’s family, but can he still look up to your niece who looks like a corn stick? Marrying a pig butcher is more or less the same!”

"Your girl is beautiful, go choose the imperial concubine! Send her to the city to be a young master and young master, what are you so proud of! You are sixteen and still not engaged. Be careful that you run away with someone that day, and you will support ten years for nothing." It's been a few years, and I can't get any money back!"

"What are you talking about? Who are you running with? Let's settle down in Xining and not provoke anyone, but who are you talking about running with?"

Like two angry hens, the two women flushed and stretched their necks, spittle splashed each other, and their mouths opened and closed like an allegro.Everyone was busy trying to persuade the fight, but no one noticed that Grandma Yun was walking slowly towards the backyard with a gloomy expression.

Just when the two were about to fight, Cao rushed out and shouted with her loud voice, "What are you arguing about! Shut up!"

After she drank like this, the two stopped talking, glared angrily, and turned their faces away.She walked down the stone steps and asked, "Magpies don't croak today, but sparrows croak indiscriminately, right? Okay, what are you arguing about?"

"You have to ask her!" Sister-in-law Xiao pointed at Duan Qigu and scolded, "I pour dirty water on us in Xining, can I, a mother, bear it?"

"You are different, you even scolded my niece!"

"Calm down!" Cao yelled again, "Why are you arguing? There has to be a reason, right? Otherwise, there will be chicken plague?"

Sister-in-law Xiao and Seventh Aunt Duan didn't open their mouths, but Third Aunt Dong said, "Isn't that kid from the Tian family coming back anyway?" Mrs. Cao shook her shoulders, and said with a sneer, "I said so! Now, the unmarried girls in the village should be fighting, right? That kid is Su Daji, a troublemaker!"

As soon as the words fell, the pear blossoms all laughed.Cao said: "What are you laughing at? I know that Su Daji is a woman. It is not a good thing for others to lose money and she loses the country! That Tian Yisheng is no different from her, even when he is seventeen, he is not married. Those who marry daughters are going crazy! You two too—” She pointed at Duan Qigu and Xiao’s sister-in-law and said, “It’s not like whoever wins the quarrel and who will Tian Yisheng get? Elders, Xining is a junior, and they all live in the same village, is it worth scolding her like that?"

Duan Qigu curled her lips in dissatisfaction and said, "Housekeeper, you are helping my relatives! She even scolded my niece!"

"Anyway, you both scolded. Do you still want to compete with each other? Sister Xiao, you too. It's not that I meddle in your family's business. How old is Xining, shouldn't the marriage be settled? You just heard that the old man in your own village People said, go to the village and listen to what they say? It’s much worse than what Qigu said! If you want to take care of Xining’s face, you should settle the marriage early! It’s okay, let’s break up, what should we do? Whoever makes any noise will not be allowed to eat dinner tonight!"

Sister-in-law Xiao and Duan Qigu glanced at each other again, one went out to the pepper garden, and the other sat down to pick pods.Cao looked up and looked around, and asked, "Where's Grandma Yun? Why haven't you seen her when it's so lively?"

Third Aunt Dong said: "After hearing what I said just now, I guess I'm going to be sad."

"What?"

"Hey," Duan Qigu, who sat down to pick the bean pods, yelled regretfully, "I just scolded Xining for running away with someone, but I forgot that her old man was there too!"

Cao Shi was so angry that she crossed her waist, pointed at Duan Qigu and said, "Qigu, how old are you? Are you so inappropriate when you speak? You know that Grandma Yun's youngest daughter ran away with someone a few years ago, and now You don't even know about life and death, but if you bring this up, isn't it the same as digging out her old scar with a knife? Fortunately, Ma Liu is not here today. If he is, do you believe he can knock you over with a single slap?" Duan Qigu Regretted: "I didn't do it on purpose, I was confused!"

"Confused? Isn't he just a scholar? The whole village is going crazy! I'll look for her, you guys go to work!"

After Mrs. Cao left, Seventh Aunt Duan asked Aunt Dong anxiously, "What should I do? Grandma Yun is not really careless, is she?" Aunt Dong said, "When I heard what you said, my face turned half pale. Son, can you not be careless? Apologize to her later, it should be fine. "

Lihua asked curiously: "Does Grandma Yun have two daughters? I only heard that one of her daughters married into the town." Aunt Dong nodded and said, "There are two. The older one married into the town, and the younger one married into the town." It disappeared a few years ago. Some people said that he ran away with a man, and some said that he was abducted by that man. Who knows whether he is dead or alive? It has been more than ten years, and there has been no news for a year."

"Who did you run with, don't you know?"

"Who knows? I haven't seen that man. I just heard that I met him in the forest. He was a stranger. Don't mention it, lest Grandma Yun hear it and feel even more uncomfortable!"

When Lihua saw Grandma Yun again, she really didn't look very good.Although Duan Qigu apologized repeatedly, she just smiled perfunctorily and didn't say anything more.After dinner, everyone sat together and chatted for a while, and after doing needlework, they dispersed.

Lihua returned to her room, laid down on the floor and beat her shoulders, still thinking about preparing dry food.At this time, Man Ting came back, saw her lying there frowning in thought, couldn't help laughing and asked: "Have you not figured out what to do with dry food?" The one in front asked: "Xie Manting, did you tell Yutong and Qigu not to help me prepare dry food? You must be threatening them, right?"

"I'm not that boring." Man Ting just wanted to lift his foot to step over Lihua's crossed legs, but was tripped by Lihua hard, and the whole person fell forward to the ground.

Lihua hugged the pillow cross-legged and giggled and said, "Hero Xie, you also stumble sometimes? Hehe...you deserve it, whoever told you to make trouble behind your back, I will too!"

"Qin Lihua, you provoked me." Manting got up, took off his shoes, and sat down in front of Lihua.Lihua shrank back hurriedly, covered him with a pillow and said, "This...isn't it a provocation? At most...it's just a joke, we are roommates, let's harmonize the atmosphere, don't be so petty, Right? Detrimental to your heroic demeanor..."

Before he finished speaking, Manting grabbed the pillow and threw it on the bed.Lihua was startled, and hurriedly leaned back.Who knew that she forgot that there was a wall behind her, and she leaned too hard, only to hear a bang, and hit the back of her head against it.

She immediately bent down covering the back of her head, and cried, "My head... Xie Manting, you just want to turn me into a little fool, that's what you think!" She narrowed her eyes, leaned forward, pushed her hand covering the back of her head and said, "Let me see, is it bulging again? Who told you to be careless..."

Lihua suddenly hit Man Ting's abdomen with her head, then pushed him to the floor with both hands, and then ran out.But before she even reached the door, she was kicked by Man Ting and fell to the ground. She suddenly felt that her whole body was falling apart!She howled twice, thumped the wooden floor and said, "Xie Manting, you are too ruthless, you want to throw me to death!"

"I thought you wanted to fight against me." Man Ting laughed after getting up.

"I..." She felt remorse at the moment, why did she fight Xie Manting when she had nothing to do?Isn't that digging your own grave?He chose the guy with the best skill in Zhuangshang!

"Aren't you up yet?" Man Ting squatted beside her and asked.

"Don't get up, I'm going to be bullied by you anyway, either into a little fool, or into a little idiot, lie down on the ground and be safe!" She said angrily.

"Did you lie down here tonight?"

"Don't worry about it, get out of the way! Sister, I'm going to cool off on the ground!"

Man Ting smiled, turned over her suddenly, and hugged her horizontally.Before she could react, she was already in Manting's arms, and her arms were naturally wrapped around Manting's neck.

"Does it hurt a lot? Your face is red?" Man Ting looked down at her and asked with a smile.

"Red? Is my face very red?" Li Hua hurriedly broke free from Man Ting's arms, and jumped to the bronze mirror like a little rabbit running away in a panic. It was really red, as if it had been heavily applied Like rouge, but also bursts of hot.Her heart was in a mess, as if she had done something shameful.

"Not feeling well?"

"No!" Lihua shook her head vigorously, pretending to be okay, but blushed and swished into the bed and said, "I...I am going to sleep, Xie Manting, turn off the lamp!"

"Huh?" "No, no, it blows the lamp!" After she finished speaking, she covered herself with the quilt, hid inside, and used her "cat claw" to grind her claws on the quilt, muttering to herself : This time I lost face!Didn't he just give Xie Manting a hug?The blushing of a worthless thing?How are you going to mess around here in the future?Sister, I am a young woman with great vision and great aspirations!How could he lose to a farm boy?But but... blushing is a fact!Woooooo... It's over, it's over, Cupid must be on drugs, the arrows are all missed...

Before he could finish muttering, the quilt covering his head was suddenly pulled away by Man Ting.She was startled, and those "cat's claws" were immediately put away, clenched into small fists and placed next to her cheeks, like a pitiful and cute pet kitten.Then, she opened her eyes and asked innocently: "And... what are you doing again, thank you, Daxia?"

"Where did you fall?" Man Ting sat beside her, leaned over to look at her and asked.

"No...no..." She suddenly felt that the posture of the two of them was a little ambiguous, and her mind was already jumping to fantasize, if Xie Manting suddenly pressed her up, would she obey?Or call for help?
"What about the knee? I fell so hard just now, it should be scratched, let me see."

"You know you fell hard?" She said with an aggrieved face, "Why don't you be more ruthless and send me directly to have supper with King Yama?" Man Ting smiled apologetically He laughed and said, "I've never touched a woman before, so I can't test the severity. Get up, and let me see if the skin is scratched."

"Don't!" Lihua pulled the quilt back and hugged her chest and said, "I'm going to bed, Xie Manting, I'm very angry, I don't want to talk to you anymore, I don't want to talk to you anymore, I'll pack up and leave tomorrow I didn't appear in front of you. Good night! Sayo Lala! Bye!" She put the quilt over her face again after she finished speaking.

But as soon as the quilt was covered, the whole courtyard was thrown up by Lihua with a loud bang.

Pear Blossom is really hot, I don't want to get serious with you, you really think your sister is made of cotton candy!She grabbed the pillow next to her and threw it towards Manting, and then rushed towards Manting's neck like an angry little cat with folded ears.Obviously, this is definitely a precursor to courting death.As soon as her hands touched Man Ting's neck, Man Ting grabbed her hands and pushed her down on the floor. The distance between the two of them was only about five centimeters.
