In the past, based on their status, Widow Qu would not have been able to reach them, but now that they are in Yancun, how can they be so particular?
Zhao Xiang and Deng are not pedantic people, so they can justifiably save an innocent woman, why not?
The next day, when Widow Qu learned about the Zhao family's decision, she smiled happily. How could she be unhappy? She immediately nodded and agreed, and she was very anxious. She wanted to make a sworn vows that day to avoid a long night and many dreams.
The Zhao family has no objection either.
So, this is done!
Widow Qu was so happy that the whole village announced it publicly.
After all, Hulu has not gone to the Qu family to propose marriage. This matter has not spread yet. Everyone has heard that Widow Qu has entered into a contract with the new wife of the Zhao family. Some people disagree, some don't take it seriously, and some are indifferent, but it doesn't matter.
It was a special feeling. When Widow Qu mentioned it, she just said congratulations.
After all, this is not our own business.
The Zhao family took this matter very seriously. That night, the man who killed chickens to buy meat specially cooked a table of delicious dishes and called Widow Qu and Qu Yutao. The family had a lively meal.
Qu Yutao had already heard Widow Qu say that the marriage would not work out. Although she was embarrassed, her mother told her that Hu Ling didn't know about it, and she felt much more relaxed.
In addition, the Zhao family was sincerely helping her, so she could only be grateful.
When they recognized their relatives, they kowtowed and served tea and changed their names. Now they are called Zhao Xiang, Deng and others are uncles, aunt, Zhao Liya and others are all cousins, and Hu Ling is her cousin.
Although Qu Yutao has a cold temperament, she is by no means a ungrateful person. She can only be grateful to the Zhao family for helping her without fear of getting involved.
The Zhao family is very kind, and after everyone had a meal together in the evening, they seemed even closer and closer.
Widow Qu was especially happy, grinning from ear to ear.
After dinner, Qu Yutao took the initiative to clear away the dishes and help wash them.
When Mrs. Deng saw it, she said "Oh!" and laughed quickly: "No, no, no, I'll come. Where can I let you come?"
After all, he is a guest.
Qu Yutao smiled: "It's okay, auntie, I'm used to doing this."
Deng wanted to stop her, but suddenly saw her eldest daughter winking at her, so she stopped and agreed with a smile.
Qu Yutao was very happy and her movements became much more brisk.
Widow Qu also smiled with relief, and called to Mrs. Deng: "Sister, come and sit down, we Yutao can do the job!"
"Mom, please go and sit down, and Aunt Eleven will sit down too." Zhao Liya smiled and tidied up with Qu Yutao.
Now that we have formed a contract and become a family, we naturally shouldn't be too polite and open to outsiders. It will inevitably appear too alienated and everyone will feel unnatural.
Qu Yutao was good at housework, and Zhao Liya was just a soy sauce cook. The two of them quickly washed the dishes, wiped the kitchen, and went to the main room together.
The family chatted lively for a while, and Widow Qu and Qu Yutao were about to say goodbye and go back.
Zhao Liya suddenly said: "By the way, wouldn't it be too deserted for my aunt and cousin to live together? Why not move in together? It will be more lively when there are more people!"
Since you have made up your mind to help others, of course you must think carefully and help to the end.
If that gourd really wanted to have this marriage with the support of the Gu family, she would not give up even if she was declined by Widow Qu.
It would not be safe for them to live together as mother and daughter.
No matter how high the courtyard wall is, it cannot protect against villains.
If Hulu really climbed into the wall in the middle of the night, no matter whether he did anything or not, both Widow Qu and her daughter would be dead.
A widow and a young girl, no matter what era, such a family is the most likely to provoke sexual gossip. Once provoked, there will be no excuses.
If the person concerned absolutely wants to prove his innocence, death may be the only option.
Widow Qu was stunned: "Would this--would it bother you too much?"
Mrs. Deng smiled and said: "Don't disturb me, don't disturb me. We have a vacant room upstairs in the west wing. It's clean and bright. You'd better move here."
Qu Yutao looked at Deng with pleading eyes.
She wants to come too.
She didn't dare to tell her mother and make her worry. She was so scared these days that she didn't dare to fall asleep. She was afraid.
Seeing her daughter's expression, Mrs. Deng understood a little bit, and softened her heart. She nodded in gratitude and said, "That's too much trouble for you! We will move here tomorrow. From now on, sister, please don't treat us like outsiders. What's the matter?
We can do anything."
Mrs. Deng smiled and nodded: "If you don't see the outside world, we don't see the outside world."
The two parties were polite for a while, and then Widow Qu and her daughter left.
After they left, Deng said: "Ya'er, are you afraid of what those scoundrels will do? This - you can't be so bold, right?"
Isn't breaking into a house something that only robbers and bandits would do? This is different from petty theft in daily life. If you report it to the government, you will be slapped with jail time.
Zhao Liya chuckled and said lightly: "Mom, don't forget, this is Yancun."
Yancun is the original sin. As long as it doesn't cause a huge hole, the government will not care about it.
Deng froze slightly and sighed softly.
Zhao Xiang said: "Madam, don't think too much, our family will be fine."
Deng nodded and sighed: "It's not easy. Since you're in charge of this matter, just help me to the end."
Aunt Li Shiyi smiled and said: "Your family are all good people!"
Everyone laughed when he said that.
Zhao Liya and Hu Ling were originally going to Zaihu Village today, but after a day's delay, they decided to go tomorrow.
The season waits for no one. If we delay it any longer, it will be too late to plant sugar cane.
Then this year is like wasting a year in vain, which is not acceptable!
After breakfast, Mrs. Deng, Aunt Li Shiyi and their two children actively went to help Widow Qu and her daughter move, and Zhao Liya and Hu Ling went to Zaihu Village.
Widow Qu and her daughter discussed it all night, and they had already agreed. Since they were going to live with Zhao's family, naturally they couldn't live in vain. The food had to be paid on a monthly basis. The vegetables in the garden would also be considered as belongings to the family in the future. During the New Year and holidays, two chickens would be given as gifts.
Buy some meat, eggs, snacks, etc., and do the work in the fields at home...
In short, just because the Zhao family takes you in, you can't live there without paying anything.
Originally, Mrs. Deng wouldn't let them get food, but Widow Qu insisted, but Mrs. Deng couldn't resist, so she had to let it go.
Zhao Xiang understood that this was okay, as they might be able to live more peacefully.
Besides, they won't stay here forever. It depends on when the Gu family's affairs will be resolved.
Both Zhao Liya and Zhao Liya were carrying baskets on their backs. Zhao Liya's basket contained two pieces of dark green fine cotton cloth, two kilograms of snacks, and twenty eggs, while Hu Ling was carrying two jars of wine, each jar weighing about five kilograms.
After walking for less than an hour, we arrived at Zaihu Village.
The village of Zaihu Village is located on a hillside with a gentle slope. Behind the village are gentle rolling hills, but in front of the village is a flat river with large stretches of paddy fields and a medium-sized river running along the village.
At the foot of the mountain, it makes a big bend and flows away.
