"Second cousin, this is the handkerchief I embroidered. Second cousin, let's see if you like it?"
Chun Ya said, taking out two handkerchiefs.
One is pink embroidered with spring flowers, and the other is white embroidered with peonies.
Qian Yuemei's eyes lit up.
"Ouch! My cousin's craftsmanship is so good." Qian Yuemei took the handkerchief and praised, "At first glance, these flowers look real!"
After hearing Qian Yuemei's words, Chunya looked proud.
The handkerchiefs she embroidered can be sold for a lot of money in shops in the town.
Qian Yuemei held two handkerchiefs, looking at this one and that one, without putting down either one.
"Thank you so much, cousin. These two scarves are very tight to my cousin." Qian Yuemei had a smile on her face.
She doesn't want to be a fool if she gets something for free.
Since her cousin brought out two pieces, she considered them as gifts to her.
The proud expression on Chun Ya's face froze.
She originally wanted Qian Yuemei to choose one.
"As long as my cousin likes it," Chun Ya said reluctantly.
"I like it! Of course I do!" Qian Yuemei's face was full of joy.
How can you not like something that is free?
Moreover, this cousin must be asking for something when she flatters him so much.
She's not stupid, how could she not even see this?
Now that I am the wife of an official, I am afraid that there will be more people asking me to do things in the future.
The more Qian Yuemei thought about it, the happier she became.
"Second cousin, what do I think...the other cousins are trying to seduce the second cousin?" Chun Ya said tentatively: "It's obviously the second cousin who's pregnant, but it looks like the eldest cousin's.
Is your body more important?"
After hearing Chun Ya's words, Qian Yuemei's smile turned into anger.
Of course she could tell that the third and fourth elders didn't like her.
However, she couldn't admit that it was because she was not popular.
Of course, she couldn't even admit that she had done something wrong, so the whole family ostracized her.
After all, this cousin doesn't know everything.
If she said anything wrong about her sisters-in-law, she would turn back to her cousin and tell her mother-in-law.
Wouldn't she be known as a house spoiler again?
My mother-in-law hates it the most and talks about family matters to outsiders.
Although she usually likes to talk about this and that, there are many things at home that she just runs back to her parents' house to talk to her own mother.
Anyway, no matter what she says, her mother will not spread it.
Don't tell me, Qian Yuemei still has a son's heart.
"I'm afraid your eldest cousin has an incurable disease, so everyone should stay close to her." Qian Yuemei said in a stiff tone.
By saying this, I can at least save some face for myself.
Chunya was surprised.
"So, cousin..."
Qian Yuemei sighed gracefully.
"Don't tell anyone about this matter, just pretend you don't know." Qian Yuemei warned: "Lest it accidentally spread to the ears of your eldest cousin, your eldest cousin will be sad. Originally, your aunt
I told my family not to tell anyone about it. My cousin and I are in love, so I told her."
Chunya nodded quickly, "I know, I will never tell anyone."
After finishing speaking, he looked at Qian Yuemei and added with some meaning: "The second cousin is pregnant. She should be careful to take care of her, but the eldest cousin's illness..."
When Chun Ya said this, she paused and showed a worried expression for Qian Yuemei.
Then, he continued: "What should I do if I get over the illness? It would be better for my second cousin to move out and live safely."
Qian Yuemei was stunned, "Move out? Where to move?"
"Of course we will move to the county town." Chun Ya said with bright eyes: "Since my aunt bought a house in the county town, and my second cousin works as an errand in the county government, isn't it natural that my second cousin's sister-in-law will move to the county town? In this way
, I can not only take care of my second cousin, but also avoid getting sick..."
The more Chunya talked, the more Qian Yuemei's heart moved.
Of course she wants to move to the county town!
If not, why would she actively encourage her mother-in-law to buy a house in the county?
She was excited when she thought about the big house she had entered for the third time.
If she lived there, wouldn't she look like a young lady from a wealthy family?
"However, I'm afraid your aunt won't agree..." Qian Yuemei thought of Mrs. Su, and her excited expression cooled down.
My mother-in-law disagreed, and it was all in vain for her to think.
Chunya was very happy to see Qian Yuemei's heart moved.
"Why would my aunt disagree?" Chunya said matter-of-factly: "Now not only the second cousin is in the county, but also the fifth cousin is also in the county. How can the food in the academy compare to the meticulous cooking at home? Even if my aunt doesn't care about the second cousin,
, is it possible that you don’t even care about your fifth cousin’s health? Your fifth cousin is a scholar.”
Qian Yuemei, "..."
That's the truth.
But, why does she feel that these words are a bit unpleasant?
It seems that her man is not as expensive as old hardware.
Chun Ya continued: "If my second cousin goes to the county town, I can just take care of the baby with peace of mind. I have nothing to do at home, so I can accompany my cousin. I will help with the usual laundry and cooking work."
My cousin has done this, and she will definitely take good care of her..."
When Qian Yuemei heard this, she finally understood what Chunya meant.
It turned out that this cousin wanted to live in the county town.
"Dare I ask my cousin, have you ever made a promise to someone else?" Qian Yuemei asked with her heart moving.
Chun Ya blushed, lowered her head, and shyly whispered: "We have never."
"How come my cousin, a girl with such an outstanding appearance and a clever mind, hasn't decided to get married yet?" Qian Yuemei asked curiously.
Chun Ya, "..."
His face became redder and redder.
How could she have the nerve to say such a thing?
Qian Yuemei looked at Chunya and smiled.
"It can be seen that my cousin has too high standards and looks down on those farm men." Qian Yuemei said with a bright voice: "Don't worry, cousin, my cousin must tell me about a good young man with outstanding appearance."
"Cousin!" Chun Ya blushed, stamped her feet shyly, and ran out.
Qian Yuemei looked at Chun Ya's back and curled her lips.
Humph! Don’t think she can’t tell, this girl is clearly trying to get the idea of Lao Wu!
Beautiful thought!
Lao Wu is a scholar, and if he can't guarantee that he will become a high official in the future, he must not marry a country girl!
If the fifth child marries a girl from a wealthy family in the future, not to mention the Su family, even his sister-in-law will have one more noble relative, which will give him a reputation.
Nowadays, even the big families in the town are vying to get married with the Su family. How can you, a country girl, take your turn?
**
When Mr. Su and his son came back, the food at home was already ready.
"Fourth Brother, have you not worked in the fields for several years and are you completely useless?!" Old Man Su said with a black face as he lectured Su Sihu, "It's slower to hoe grass than an old cow poops!"
Su Sihu said, "...Dad, I will work more in the fields from now on."
Old man Su looked at Su Laowu again.
"And you, Lao Wu, have you become stupid because of studying? Think about it, you have just done a lot of work today, and you are so tired that you are huffing like a dog?!"
Su Laowu said, "...Dad, I was wrong. I will definitely find opportunities to work more in the future."
"Hmph! That's pretty much it!" Old Man Su snorted, "You two go and chop up the pile of firewood in the corner before eating! Don't eat until you can finish chopping!"
Su Laosi, "..."
Su Laowu, "..."
Tired, hungry, thirsty and hot, I still have to chop wood...
