Chapter 32 Defense
In fact, Mrs. Zhang hoped that Ziqiu would object in her heart, and she didn't want her daughter to marry into the Qi family and serve the whole family of Qi family. Distressed.

But now it seems that if the Qi family can't marry a daughter-in-law for a day, it will be difficult for their own daughter to marry.

"Qiu'er, tell mother the truth, you really haven't been interested in Qi Tianci? Seeing that your Aunt Qi is anxious to marry him as soon as possible, what do you think?"

Zhang's words were probing, how could Ye Ziqiu not hear it, but she didn't say anything when she heard it, she was Qi Tianci, Ye Ziqiu could only say that she had a crush on it, but following the matter of Ding Wan'er, she also looked away, and then Thinking of the root cause of Qi Tianci's injury, Ye Ziqiu said: "Mother, it's good for Qi Tianci to give someone. At first, I also thought that I would marry him if I had a marriage contract, but now I don't think so. A lifetime is so long, and I can't get along with it." However, I don’t have any ideas, let’s go!”

Hearing that her daughter really didn't take it to heart, Zhang's smile grew wider, and she had a faint decision in her heart.

She also heard from Ye Zhengliang about what happened last time, if it wasn't for Qi Tianci, he would be the one who was injured, and Qi Tianci had suffered on his behalf.But in the final analysis, this matter was to repay the betrothal gift from the Qi family. After sending Ye Ziqiu away, Mrs. Zhang took out the money box at home and sat on the kang to count.

The Ye family lived well in the village. This was because Ye Zhengliang knew how to hunt. The village was next to the mountains, and there were many wild animals of all kinds. They had saved a lot over the years.

Zhang's pieces of silver were poured out and counted. The total was 73 taels. Originally, there were more at home, but it cost a lot of money to renovate the house in the past few years. Now the remaining is not enough to pay off the family.

Ziqiu said that the tiger skin of the Qi family back then would cost at least 100 taels if it was folded off. What should I do with the remaining 20 taels?
Mrs. Zhang was in a hurry, but she didn't dare to let the man go hunting again, so she could only grit her teeth, took 70 taels, and went out.

Seeing Mrs. Zhang going out, Ye Ziqiu didn't think too much, and took out the embroidery shed to embroider. In the past few years, the pocket money given by Mrs. Zhang, plus her own embroidery work, add up to more than three taels of silver. , although not much, but it can be considered a small savings.

Humming a tune, Ye Ziqiu focused on the embroidery at hand, and not long after, she saw Mrs. Zhang come back with a dark face.

Mrs. Zhang went to Qi's house and got angry, but she couldn't get angry.

Originally thinking of taking the money and sending it, Mrs. Liu must be happy. The money has a source, but Mrs. Liu got angry and even threw the money on the ground, saying that the Ye family is bullying , This is to use money to buy peace of mind.

With good intentions, he went to send money to let them marry a wife, but he didn't want Mrs. Liu to be ungrateful. How could Mrs. Zhang not be angry and quarrel with Mrs. Liu directly.

When Mrs. Zhang came back, she lay down on the kang angrily. Ye Ziqiu thought her mother was sick, so she hurried forward, "Mother, are you not feeling well?"

Mrs. Zhang shook her head, "It's okay."

How dare she say that she was kicked out of her home by Mrs. Liu, which made her feel ashamed.

It's getting late now, Mrs. Zhang was about to get up, but Ye Ziqiu held her down, "Mother, if you're not feeling well, rest well, I'll make dinner today."

Cooking a meal is not a difficult task, Mrs. Zhang was really not in the mood, so she didn't get up.

Ye Ziqiu washed the rice, cooked the rice, cut the vegetables and went out to call Zixia and Changan back for dinner.

Ye Zhengliang went to help someone else's house threshing, and didn't come back to eat at night. Ye Zixia and Chang'an both went to the threshing ground to catch birds. People should watch at home to prevent birds from pecking at it, and on the other hand, they are also afraid of being taken away by others.

As soon as Ye Ziqiu arrived at the entrance of the village, she saw Mrs. Liu coming out of the yard, and saw her face showing anger.

"Aunt Qi!"

Ye Ziqiu greeted her politely, but Mrs. Liu had a serious face and ignored her at all.

What's wrong?Ye Ziqiu couldn't help wondering where he had offended her, but after much deliberation, he couldn't figure it out.

Aunt Qi was with her again, Ye Ziqiu didn't know what to say, but Liu stopped and turned to look at her, "Ye family girl, don't worry, our Qi family is poor but ambitious, if you don't want to, we will I won't force you either. There's no need to be so defensive."

Ye Ziqiu was taken aback, "What's wrong?"

She couldn't understand what Mrs. Liu said at all, what was she guarding against?

"Okay, you don't have to pretend. I, Liu Shulan, have lived half my life and don't know anything. Your mother brought the money just to seal our mouths. Don't worry, even if my son is lame, he won't force your family."

Now that Ye Ziqiuyin understood a little bit, her mother took the money and went to Qi's house.
But what's the matter?
Seeing Liu Shi so angry, Ye Ziqiu felt that if she kept silent like this, it would make her feel guilty.

"Aunt Qi, I don't know what you're talking about. Did my mother give you the money? She told me before that when Uncle Qi gave my father a tiger skin, now that you are sick and Qi Tianci is also injured, some With this money, you can live a more relaxed life, but I don't know how Aunt Qi understands it, how does it seem like my mother has done something that shouldn't be done?"

Ye Ziqiu didn't want Mrs. Liu to talk about her own mother. Although she spoke softly, she was still a little unhappy, so Mrs. Liu snorted, "Speaking is better than singing, who is responsible for Tianci, I don't know, Your family is afraid that we will rely on you because of this matter, go back and reassure your mother, her worry is superfluous!"

Liu didn't pay attention to Ye Ziqiu any more, and quickly walked a few steps to keep the distance from Ye Ziqiu.Ye Ziqiu frowned, planning to go home and ask Mrs. Zhang what was going on.

There were a lot of people in the threshing ground, and they were all sitting and chatting together. When Ye Ziqiu passed by, she saw Ye Zixia sitting there smiling like a flower, and on the other side of her was a sixteen or seventeen-year-old man with delicate features and fair features. Like a farm boy.

Who is this?
Ye Ziqiu suppressed his doubts and walked over, "Zi Xia, go home for dinner."

Ye Zixia was talking excitedly, when she looked up and saw Ziqiu, she couldn't help being stunned for a moment, and then panicked.

"Stop talking, I'm going home."

Ye Zixia stood up quickly, and called Chang'an who was playing with a group of boys, "Chang'an, go home for dinner."

The three siblings walked home, Ye Ziqiu looked back, the man was still sitting there, his eyes were also looking at this side, seeing Ye Ziqiu looking at him, he smiled slightly.

Ye Ziqiu looked back and gave Zixia a hand, "Who is that man?"

"Huh? Which man?"

Ye Zixia asked knowingly, but Ye Ziqiu squinted her eyes, and smiled with an inexplicable meaning.

"Okay, okay, what kind of eyes do you have, you don't know who he is? It's from the landlady Wang's wife's natal family, named Bai Zhan."
