peasant ugly daughter-in-law

Chapter 42

"Master, Young Madam made pork and fennel buns. It's delicious!" Now Xiao Wu is not as reserved as before. Ye Qingqing first handed him a bun, and he would eat it excitedly. It can calm him down for a moment.

Ye Qingqing handed the bowl and chopsticks to Li Rui, "How about a taste?"

Li Rui picked up a steamed stuffed bun and put it in a bowl. Before eating, he said, "The food cooked by my wife is the most delicious in the world." After finishing speaking.

He lightly took a bite of the pork fennel bun, and a strong sound filled his mouth instantly. The minced meat mixed with the aroma of fennel was extremely delicious.

He couldn't help taking the second and third bites until the whole bun was eaten.

Ye Qingqing mumbled to herself, and murmured brokenly, "Idiot, how can you coax a woman like this?" They sat down and ate together.

With Ye Qingqing's efforts, Li Rui's appetite is getting better for all to see. As long as she is not overworked and tired, she will not appear pale and sweaty, and even she herself is getting thinner gradually. Pimples are still a problem.

The next afternoon, near dusk, Zhou Hui asked about the situation of the two buyers as soon as Qiangzi returned from Ancheng, and ran to Ye Qingqing panting to tell them all.

Both Xishahe Village and Dongshahe Village are under the jurisdiction of Yucheng, which is the county town that Ye Qingqing usually goes to. The nearest city to Yucheng is Ancheng, and Qiangzi's family will also go there to sell seafood, and one of the buyers is a restaurant in Ancheng. Zhou Hui, the shopkeeper.

To Ye Qingqing's surprise, the other buyer was Bai Qianhe, the shopkeeper of Fuhailou. She suddenly felt something strange. The two restaurants were vying to buy this giant cod first. Why?

Just when Ye Qingqing was puzzled, what Li Rui and Xiao Wu said reminded her.

Half a month later, it will be Liu Yuanwai's 45th birthday banquet in the county seat. In the past years, he has held a large banquet in Yucheng to entertain all parties. The person in charge is Bai Qianhe, the shopkeeper of Fuhai Tower, but this time it is uncertain.

Liu Yuanwai’s ancestral house is located in Yucheng. His mother, wife and son live in the ancestral house. There is a new house for him in Ancheng, where the second and third rooms and their children live. This year the third room is newly added for him He was happy to have a boy, and the old lady was also happy. Every year, he celebrates his birthday in Yucheng, but this year he has plans to celebrate his birthday in Ancheng.

This is how the dispute between Bai Qianhe and Ancheng's shopkeeper Zhou An started. As for why this giant cod is necessary?We can only wait for Ye Qingqing to continue researching. In short, she has grasped the psychology of the two buyers who must buy, and of course she has the final say on the price.

It's just that three days have passed, and Ye Qingqing still hasn't acted.

"Sister, why are you not in a hurry?" Zhou Hui asked the doubts in her heart while helping Ye Qingqing deal with piles of mushrooms, "That must not be a small sum."

Ye Qingqing carefully cleaned the mushrooms in the basin, she was extremely calm, and explained: "It is because it is not a small sum, so there is no rush." ​​I believe that Bai Qianhe and Zhou An, who are the masters of the first floor, also understand this clearly , they will remain calm, in this case, let's see if she is anxious or they are anxious!
To be precise, this Cod Fishing seems to be a contest between two shopkeepers, but in fact it is an open and secret struggle between the wife and the concubine. To put it bluntly, it is two women competing for favor. Is Mrs. Liu Wai Yucheng's eldest wife in a hurry?Or is Ancheng's third-bedroom aunt in a hurry?Who else is more willing to spend money?
There are only ten days left before Liu Yuanwai's birthday, Ye Qingqing is very sure that within three days there must be something happening, now she just needs to wait quietly.

Zhou Hui looked at Ye Qingqing, who was calm and steady, and nodded half-understanding, "It seems to make sense, girls are smart!" She shook her head, and said with a smile: "Anyway, girls understand."

It took about an hour and a half for the mushrooms to be processed. Ye Qingqing put the clean mushrooms in the basket and emptied the water, and sat in the yard with Zhou Hui to chat.

From their point of view, if they stand up a little, they can see Li Rui who is painting and writing in the room through the window.

Seeing that Li Rui's face was no longer as pale as it used to be, Zhou Hui couldn't help but said, "Scholar Li's spirit is getting better and better." She looked away and looked at Ye Qingqing, "Sister, when are you going to have a baby?"

As soon as the words fell, Ye Qingqing's movement of eating melon seeds froze, and after a while, she suddenly came back to her senses, "Ahem, ahem—" She was undoubtedly frightened by Zhou Hui's words.

Ye Qingqing's eyes were slightly frightened, giving birth to... a child?She couldn't help trembling all over, straightened up slightly, and mechanically twisted her neck to look at Li Rui who was hanging his head and writing in the room. No matter how you looked at him, he was a gentle and elegant scholar with no strength to restrain him, and she suddenly had the urge to burst into tears.

"Sister Hui, can you stop teasing me?" Ye Qingqing shuddered and quickly looked away.

"Go, you girl, what kind of expression is this?" Zhou Hui said unhappily. Now that she and Ye Qingqing are closer than sisters, she will tell the truth, "Sister, you are not the same now as before. If you're so fat, as long as you don't stay at home every day, you'll be slimmer than me after a few more months. Besides, Li Shusheng treats you well, so other people can tell."

Ye Qingqing could naturally hear the chill in Zhou Hui's words. Li Rui never disliked her, so what worries did she have?
In fact, Ye Qingqing also knows that Li Rui takes good care of her. Such a husband is 120 points good, but even if she really loses weight, and even her face gets better, she still feels unreliable when it comes to having a child. .

how to say?

She is only 15 years old now, and she has a family-like relationship with Li Rui and Xiao Wu. She really can't do anything to Li Rui. Maybe it can be said that she doesn't love Li Rui enough?

Ye Qingqing fell into deep thought.

"Sister, you are so good at earning money to take care of the family, why can't you have a baby?" Zhou Hui said suddenly, "To save others from worrying about your family Li Shusheng."

Zhou Hui has no heart, just like Ye Qingqing's first impression of her, she is a simple and honest big sister.

Ye Qingqing heard Zhou Hui's sudden words, and immediately felt that there must be a reason for Zhou Hui's sudden mention of having a child. Sure enough, under her persistent questioning, Zhou Hui told the truth.

Ye Qingqing suddenly realized that while she understood who was planning Li Rui's idea, she also fell into a deep self-contradiction.

Didn't she think it was unreliable to give birth to Li Rui?If there were other women willing to give birth to Li Rui, how would she deal with herself?

The temperature difference between day and night at the beach will not fluctuate too much, and a crescent moon hangs in the sky, adding a bit of poetic charm to the night.

After dinner, the heat in her body intensified. Ye Qingqing usually ate very little dinner, but today she just wanted to breathe alone. She stood in the yard, looking up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, thinking about life.

After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly realized that Li Rui was standing quietly on her left side at some point, and she didn't know how long he had been standing there.
