Chapter 55 Two Heterogeneous Species

It is said that Risaburo is about to take his annual vacation, but there are still a few days left, and it has just arrived in the twelfth lunar month.

The lard has been refined, and everyone in Lao Li's family is very happy to eat just the lard residue.

Coupled with the fragrant soybean-braised pig's trotters and braised pig's trotters, every time it's time to eat these days, the people in Lao Li's family just focus on eating and can't bear to talk.

Even working, I am willing to put in some effort.

The children, in particular, fell in love with the third aunt more and more. After the third aunt came over, life at home was even better than during the Chinese New Year.

And before Li Sanlang came back from his annual vacation, Fang Qingqing concentrated on using the night time to study ten live broadcast courses in the space.

Otherwise, after Risaburo comes back, the two of them must share this room.

There will definitely be many inconveniences, not least like the fact that she stays alone in the room at night and wants to do something without anyone asking.

They are all about medical courses, and watching videos is indeed much better than simply reading books.

Moreover, what the system provided this time was very reliable, and there were supporting books for the corresponding courses, so Fang Qingqing read the book twice before going to class.

Then watch the video. The explanation in the video is easy to understand, and Fang Qingqing watched it with relish.

I also wrote down some of the key points the teacher said. I just took a lot of notes, so I can review them after class.

As a result, it takes a lot of time, and I don't have time to go to bed until the middle of the night.

So the next day, I got up later than usual.

At first, Mr. Shi didn't pay much attention to it, but after this happened for three days in a row, he became a little panicked.

"Qingqing, are you feeling unwell?"

After all, she is young and sleeps a lot. Fang Qingqing is the last person to get up at home every day, so Shi doesn't mind.

Fang Qingqing also knows how to measure. Basically, others get up at five or six o'clock, but she delays it until seven or eight o'clock. She usually doesn't get up after eight o'clock.

In the past two days, I mainly slept too late and was too sleepy. As a result, I accidentally slept until half past ten today.

No wonder, Mrs. Shi was panicked.

Fang Qingqing shook her head, pouting coquettishly: "Mom, no, it's because I was lazy and got up late."

"Are you too tired? Otherwise, don't deliver food to Sanlang today." Mrs. Shi lovingly touched the little face of the third daughter-in-law.

Hey, it’s really hard for the little lady to walk more than ten miles back and forth every day just to deliver meals to Sanlang.

Mrs. Shi was completely irresponsible and forgot that her other two sons and daughter-in-law walked more than ten miles back and forth every day to do small business, and they had to work hard for most of the day hawking in the county town.

"Mom, I'm not working hard. I'm very happy to see Brother Sanlang every day." Fang Qingqing's eyes lit up as she spoke.

Then Mr. Shi smiled again, hey, the third child is so lucky.

Look how kind his wife is to him.

Shi made a unilateral decision that Sanlang must treat his wife better in the future.

If that stupid son disobeys and dares to treat Qingqing badly, well, let’s see if she doesn’t break his legs!

Because it was already the twelfth lunar month, after all, there was much less work in the fields, so people began to wander around the village talking and laughing every day.

Fang Qingqing does not have such hobbies. Except for delivering meals to Li Sanlang, she rarely goes out.

Even if she wants to go out, she will go with Li Xiaomei. Even so, she still has a good relationship with the other young ladies in the village.

Most of the young ladies these days are relatively simple and unscheming, and it is easy to get along with them.

After all, there are very few people like Luo Xiaohua, and she is also in a special situation.

In fact, Fang Qingqing is also quite special. She and Luo Xiaohua are both aliens in this time and space, but so far, the two of them are unaware of each other's abnormal situations and have not had many opportunities to deal with each other.

If it weren't for the several encounters in the village, Luo Xiaohua's eyes were too unfriendly, and Fang Qingqing basically didn't notice this girl.

In addition, it was said that Luo Xiaohua had a good time with Li Xiaomei before, so Fang Qingqing deepened her impression.

This makes me feel even more ashamed. The original owner is also from Hongqiao Village, and I don't know how the old Fang family raised their daughter.

It’s not like she’s a daughter of a wealthy family, but she really has a sense of staying close to home. In the entire Hongqiao Village, Fang Qingqing couldn’t find a few girls who were good friends with the original owner.

Sometimes Fang Qingqing goes out with Li Xiaomei. Originally, the two of them walked together, but every time they met Luo Xiaohua.

So Luo Xiaohua would take the initiative to say hello to Li Xiaomei, and the two of them would walk together, talking and laughing, while Fang Qingqing on the side would become a foil and not say a word.

Mainly because Luo Xiaohua didn't take the initiative to talk to Fang Qingqing and didn't even say hello.

Of course Fang Qingqing ignored her, but every time afterwards, Li Xiaomei felt guilty as if she had neglected her third sister-in-law.

"Third sister-in-law, Xiaohua came to me to complain. She's not familiar with you, so don't mind if she didn't say much."

"Oh?" Fang Qingqing said with a smile, "What's wrong with Luo Xiaohua?"

As a result, this question aroused some emotions in Li Xiaomei. After sighing heavily, she angrily explained to her third sister-in-law:

"Aunt Luo wants to marry Xiaohua. She is a widower in her thirties and has three children at home. However, he is willing to pay a bride price of five taels of silver, so Aunt Luo is eager to marry Xiaohua."

Then, Li Xiaomei whispered in Fang Qingqing's ear: "Xiaohua found out that the man's wife said she died of a sudden illness, but she was actually beaten to death by him."

Fang Qingqing's eyes widened in disbelief. There is such a thing?

"Really or not? Even if she was beaten to death, no one would care about her. Wouldn't her family go to the police to report her?"

Regarding this point, Luo Xiaohua really inquired carefully and told Li Xiaomei:

"The man's first wife fled to their village and almost starved to death before she was taken in before marrying him. If she dies, how can anyone care about her?" Li Xiaomei's voice was a bit muffled when she spoke.

Fang Qingqing's voice was also very dull.

This is the case in this era, women have no status at all, and domestic violence is everywhere.

The problem is, even if it is as serious as being beaten to death, unless there is a strong support from the mother-in-law, no one will report it to the official and no one will specifically ask questions.

Then again, if there is really strong support from the mother's family, the man probably will not beat and scold his wife at will.

After all, they are all from the same village, and the original owner still knows something about Luo Xiaohua's family situation.

Fang Qingqing worked hard to search the original owner's mind, and finally pieced it together:
Chapter completed!
