Chapter 18
Qin family.
As soon as they arrived at the door, the aunt and sister-in-law heard bursts of crying coming from the house.
Wang Fengying shouted in a tearful voice, "I'm going to kill Widow Zhang! My daughter was obviously going to her house to do needlework, so why did she coax her son into bed and then lose her like this! What if she was kidnapped by a flower girl?"
Oh no, I want to hang myself in front of her house!"
Qin Daping comforted him, "Axiu's wife hasn't come back yet. Maybe the sister-in-law and sister-in-law ran into each other and forgot where they went."
"Stop arguing! It's said that there has been a gang of philanderers running around in the town recently. These two girls haven't come back yet. I'm afraid it's more serious than bad. Let's go find the Li Zheng Reporter."
It was Mrs. Qin's voice, filled with regret and exhaustion.
Why don't you take good care of your children? It's all your fault!
Zhao Jin'er and Qin Zhenzhu entered the door at this moment.
The house was brightly lit, and the whole family was waiting in the main room with wide eyes.
When he saw the two of them, his eyes that were almost blind suddenly became bright.
When Wang Fengying saw her daughter looking haggard, her hair disheveled, and her body covered in dirt, she was so distressed that she burst into tears, "Pearl, where did you go?!"
Qin Zhenzhen cried and kidnapped her lover into a cave, and was almost sold to the Huns. Finally, Zhao Jin'er brought her back and told her everything.
Mrs. Qin was frightened when she heard this, and asked Zhao Jin'er, "Aren't you eating noodles? How come you were kidnapped by Huazi?"
Zhao Jin'er couldn't say that he was caught while chasing Qin Pearl, so he pretended to be stupid and said, "I don't know. Halfway through eating, his eyes went dark, and when he woke up, he was already in a cave."
Mrs. Qin was still frightened, "Amitabha, thank you dear God for sending my granddaughter and granddaughter-in-law back!"
The family gathered around and talked for a while, and Qin Zhenzhu complained that she was hungry.
Old Mrs. Qin said, "Fengying, give each of the two girls a bowl of noodles and crack two eggs for each! Everyone else should go back to sleep!"
After eating the noodles, Qin Pearl also went back to sleep. Zhao Jin'er suddenly remembered something, "Miscellaneous, donkey!"
Mrs. Qin was confused, "What donkey?"
Zhao Jin'er went outside the courtyard and pulled the donkey cart in.
Brother Donkey neighed twice in dissatisfaction, as if he was cursing: Where is my promised wife?
Zhao Jin'er whispered against its ear, "Don't worry, you need three matchmakers and six betrothals to get a wife. Let me marry you at dawn tomorrow."
The donkey brother then calmed down and didn't want anyone to lead him. He walked around the yard by himself. He seemed to be quite satisfied with his new home. He found a corner and the donkey went to sleep on his own without any courtesy.
Mrs. Qin and Wang Fengying were both stunned.
After being kidnapped by a philanderer, can you still pick up a donkey and bring it back?
What kind of fate does this girl have? How can anyone be so lucky!
After settling down Brother Donkey, Zhao Jin'er dragged his tired body back to the room, only to find Qin Muxiu sitting upright on the bed, and was startled.
"Axiu, why aren't you asleep yet?"
You are so heartless, what else can you do?
Qin Muxiu's eyes were as deep as a pool, "What did we say?"
Zhao Jin'er felt guilty and did not dare to answer.
They had discussed it that day. Zhao Jin'er asked Old Mrs. Qin to take it to the town on the pretext of buying a sickle. When they found Qin Pearl and Zhang Youshuan, they asked Old Mrs. Qin to bring Qin Pearl back.
"The situation was urgent at that time. I was buying rags. Zhang Youshuan took the pearls and left through the back door of Ruyizhai. I rushed to catch up and shouted, but the result was..."
Zhao Jiner hesitated, like a child who had done something wrong.
Seeing her pitiful appearance, Qin Muxiu couldn't bear it.
But when I thought about what she had just experienced, I decided to teach her a lesson, otherwise something would happen sooner or later if she was still so bold in the future.
"Do you know how lucky it is that you can escape tonight? If you are really taken away by Hanako, you will never want to return to this home again in your life!"
Zhao Jin'er was actually scared, and her long eyelashes were slightly wet and fluttering.
"I didn't expect that there would really be a flower girl. Moreover, Zhang Youshuan is actually one of them!"
Qin Muxiu narrowed his eyes slightly.
In the last life, Qin Pearl was not so lucky. She was abducted by Zhang Youshuan and sold to the Huns as a prostitute. Because she resisted resolutely, one of her legs was broken. Zhang Youshuan pretended to be a good person and got her back. The Qin family also sold iron to the Huns.
I gave him twenty taels of silver as a reward.
Qin Zhenzhu was blind and thought Zhang Youshuan was a good person. In the end, she went on a hunger strike to force Wang Fengying to give her a dowry and marry her to Zhang Youshuan. She was tortured to death within two years.
"Did the Inspection Department rescue all those girls? Did they catch the criminal?"
"Everyone was rescued and a flower was caught."
Qin Muxiu was relieved. As long as someone was caught, Zhang Youshuan would definitely be confessed, and it was a certainty that he would be brought to justice.
Seeing Zhao Jin'er yawn, he didn't say anything further, "Let's go to bed."
Zhao Jin'er shook his head, "You only took one morning dose of medicine today, and you stopped taking it at noon. You can't take it again at night."
With that said, he turned on the small stove and started to stew the medicine.
Qin Muxiu felt warm in his heart, how could this kid be so honest?
...
I stayed up until midnight last night, and the Qin family all went to bed late the next day.
Only Zhao Jin'er got up early, made breakfast, fed the five sheep in the pen, and picked up a handful of grain and grass to feed the big brother the donkey.
Brother Donkey, after eating and drinking enough, went back to sleep in his cage.
Zhao Jin'er began to pick up the dried cow dung from the car and stacked it next to the firewood pile.
This cow dung is probably used by flower farmers to deceive others, but it is a good thing when placed in farmers' homes. It can be used as fertilizer or as fuel in autumn and winter. It burns without smoke.
After picking up half of it, another person came to help. Zhao Jin'er looked up and saw that it was Qin Zhenzhu.
"Zhenzhu, why did you get up so early? There is breakfast in the kitchen. You go and eat it first."
Qin Zhuzhu glanced at her and said, "I want to work first."
Zhao Jin'er curled her lips and said nothing. She never dared to offend this sister-in-law, fearing that she would scold her again and again.
When the two of them worked together, the speed was much faster, and a cart of cow dung was quickly moved down.
At this time, the whole family got up and were surprised to see the donkey cart, "Where did the donkey cart come from?"
Qin Zhuzhen rushed to tell the origin of the donkey cart, "This donkey recognizes the third sister-in-law and can't even drive her away."
Zhao Jin'er was slightly startled, Qin Zhenzhu actually called her third sister-in-law?
Qin Daping and Qin Hu's father and son circled around the donkey cart, laughing so hard that they couldn't even see their eyebrows.
"What a great feeling! The autumn harvest is coming soon. With this donkey cart, we can save a lot of energy!"
"No, such a mature male donkey costs five or six taels of silver. To match this cart, it will cost at least seven or eight taels of silver! In our village, Sun Guangping's family is the only one who has a donkey, and it's a female. Its tail is raised to the sky. On weekdays,
I wanted to borrow his donkey for something, but her mother-in-law didn't give me a good look."
Mrs. Qin smiled and said, "Thanks to Jin'er, doesn't our family also have a donkey cart?"
The whole family looked at Zhao Jin'er like a treasure.
