Chapter Thirty-Seven: I Have Consumption

"Huanhua, is there any way to save her? I'm afraid Sister Zhaodi will be beaten to death."

Cheng Qingwen looked at the three crying people, their heads were not as big as usual.

Although she liked Song Zhaodi very much, this was a family matter after all. If she really stole the person out without caring about him, Mrs. Qin would probably have to call the officials and have to think of other ways.

After thinking for a while, she decided to take Song Qiaoqiao to Song Zhaodi's house.

Before they reached the door, they heard Mrs. Qin yelling: "Now that the betrothal gift has been given, even if you die, you have to die after you have passed the door!"

"Why, after getting fifteen taels of silver, you can't even buy me a coffin?" Song Zhaodi lay on the bed with a heartbroken heart, enduring the pain on her body.

"You heartless person, I raised you so much, I deserve these fifteen pieces of silver. You can't just think about yourself, you have to think about your brothers too." Mrs. Qin walked over angrily.

She stood beside the bed and raised her hand, wanting to hit her.

"Oh, I can't bear to do this. The pavilion chief's wife will come to see someone later. If you ruin your face for her again, it's time to break off the engagement." The matchmaker stood aside and stopped her quickly.

Only then did Mrs. Qin stop her movements, stood aside and warned, "I'm telling you, when Mrs. Hui Pavilion comes, you have to speak up, or I'll beat you to death."

Song Zhaodi ignored her on the bed and turned over.

Cheng Qingwen stood at the door and asked the person next to him softly: "Is Zhaodi seriously injured?"

Song Qiaoqiao sniffed and said, "Yes, we had a quarrel with the second aunt and the second uncle when we came here. The second uncle was so angry that he slapped Sister Zhaodi and didn't get up for a long time. Then those few

Brother, he rushed up to beat her and couldn't stop her."

"I remember that this pavilion chief was recommended by County Magistrate Wei, right?" Cheng Qinghan had an idea flash in his head and asked the person next to him.

Song Qiaoqiao nodded.

"We'll wait here until the pavilion chief's wife arrives, and then go in." Cheng Qinghan frowned slightly, leaned against the wall and said with a smile.

After a while, a carriage came from a distance and stopped at the door.

Before the people in the car got out of the car, Cheng Qingwen took Song Qiaoqiao into the house.

As soon as they entered the room, they saw Ms. Qin, who was dressed like a human, and the two sisters standing in front of the bed.

"Why are you here?" Mrs. Qin originally thought that the person who came in was the pavilion chief's wife, who was already standing to greet her, but she didn't expect it was these two girls: "We will wait for distinguished guests to come to our house, so you can leave first."

"I'm not here to find you. I heard that Sister Zhaodi was almost dead after being beaten by you, so I quickly brought the medicine and took a look." Cheng Qingwen smiled and took a step forward, but was stopped by the matchmaker.

"Girl, just keep the medicine. We will give her the medicine later."

Cheng Qingwen glanced at the person in front of him lightly, chuckled and said, "You are not worthy of touching my medicine."

When the matchmaker heard this, her expression suddenly changed. She thought that she had never met such a person in the eight villages with a smile on her face.

"Girl, I guess you don't want to get married in the future, right?"

Cheng Qingwen listened to this naked threat and said: "I don't have a weird lady like Zhaodi, so I won't bother you."

Just as Qin was about to speak, she heard a voice coming from the door.

"It's so lively today, Matchmaker Qi, who is Zhaodi?"

Everyone looked over and saw two women standing at the door.

The older one was wearing a blue coat and skirt, and had a few gold hairpins on her head. She looked majestic, had smiling eyes, and looked very dignified.

The woman next to her was wearing a pink coat and skirt, with a gold necklace hanging around her neck and a silk flower on her head. Her eyebrows were raised and she looked hard to get along with.

Cheng Qingwen looked at the woman and chuckled, she seemed to be an old acquaintance.

"You can't be Song Zhaodi!" Zhang Yang said angrily as soon as she saw her.

"Weier, don't be rude." The pavilion chief's wife frowned and scolded softly.

"Sister, this is the person who snatched my hairpin at Jinyu Store a few days ago!" Su Yunwei pulled the sleeve of the person next to her and complained softly.

When the pavilion chief's wife heard this, her eyes immediately changed. She looked her up and down, and then smiled and said: "I think you are still young and don't understand any rules. But if you pass the door, you have to

Learn the rules well."

When Cheng Qingwan heard this, she immediately became happy: "I think you misunderstood, I am not Song Zhaodi, and I will not pass your door."

"Yes, yes, she is not Zhao Di, Zhao Di is here." Upon hearing this, Ms. Qin quickly pushed away the person blocking the bed, pointed at the person on the bed and said, "This is my daughter, Zhao Di."

Di."

The pavilion chief's wife stood there and looked at her from a distance: "Why is she bedridden and a sick child? Matchmaker Qi, when you said it, your daughter was in good health. If she was a sick child, how could she pass on the family line to her second brother?

?”

"Oh, I just happened to be sick, but I am very active on weekdays. She cultivated the three acres of land in their home, so she is in good health." Matchmaker Qi quickly stepped forward and explained: "And you see, I have a big butt, which is good for fertility.

.”

After hearing this, Song Zhaodi immediately opened her eyes and said, "I am a sick man, and I also have tuberculosis. My mother deliberately lied to you in order to send me away quickly."

"Song Zhaodi, what nonsense are you talking about!" Upon hearing this, Ms. Qin roared angrily.

"Tuberculosis?" Upon hearing this, the pavilion chief's wife quickly picked up her handkerchief and covered her mouth and nose.

Su Yunwei covered her mouth and nose and angrily said to the person next to her: "Matchmaker Qi, why didn't you tell her earlier that she has tuberculosis? This disease is contagious to people. Do you want to kill us?"

"How dare I? She just got into trouble with Mrs. Qin, and now she's talking nonsense. She doesn't have tuberculosis at all." Matchmaker Qi was so anxious that she sweatdropped. She pulled the person next to her and motioned for her to explain quickly.

"Yes, madam, don't listen to her nonsense. If there is nothing wrong, you can ask a doctor to see it." Mrs. Qin walked to the bed and pointed at her angrily and scolded: "If you keep talking nonsense, I will fight you today."

Kill you!"

Song Zhaodi winked at the sister next to her, then immediately lowered her head and coughed.

"Madam, my sister has indeed been seriously ill for a long time and will not die soon. It's just that my mother-in-law is greedy for these few taels of silver and wants to sell her sister as soon as possible." Song Pandi said, wiping her tears.

Cheng Qingwen looked at this scene and pulled Song Qiaoqiao to the corner with a smile: "It seems that she has already thought of a way."

No matter how Mrs. Qin and Matchmaker Qi explained it, the pavilion chief's wife never put down her handkerchief.

"Your family has already received a betrothal gift. Since this daughter is sick, we need to replace her with another one. In three days, someone must marry into my family!"

As soon as these words fell, the expressions of everyone in the room changed. Cheng Qingwen quickly chased out and stopped the people who were about to get on the carriage.

"Mrs. Pavilion Chief, stay."

"What else do you want?"

Cheng Qinghan looked at the person in front of him with a smile on his face: "Does the pavilion chief know about this?"

The expression of the pavilion chief's wife changed, and she asked coldly: "What do you want to say?"
