Near noon, Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao separated from their friends at the entrance of the village, and skipped home with rhubarb and Bieme carrying a small half basket of sweet roots.

When she saw the big carriage parked in front of her house, the first thing she thought of was Brother Li. She immediately took Sanbao's hand and rushed into the yard. As a result, she only saw Dabu and an unknown person, but Brother Li was not seen at all.

shadow.

Qin Xiaoxiao felt much better after learning that Brother Li was busy with his studies and had no time to come over, but he remembered that he had asked Uncle Dabu to send him a birthday gift.

Dabu saw Qin Xiaoxiao's series of reactions in his eyes and secretly thought that his young master had misunderstood the little girl too much and always felt that the little girl would forget him if she didn't take it long. When he returns to the capital, he must talk to the young master carefully.

Let the young master rest assured.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't know that her beloved brother Li had seen through her true nature, and she was so happy when she saw six boxes full of gifts. After Lin Qiuniang nodded, she opened them one by one and looked at them.

When I saw pens, inks, paper, inkstones and books, my first reaction was that Brother Li was really a good person. On the surface, he ignored the elder brother and the second brother, but in his heart he cared about them and sent him things that he could use.

After hearing her mother say that these things were also given to her, and that she should learn literacy from her elder brother and her second brother, the little girl suddenly no longer thought that Brother Li was a good person, but that he was simply the villain in the story of the elder brother, who only bullied her.

She is such a pitiful little person.

Although the pen, ink, paper, inkstone and books troubled the little girl who thought she didn't need them, she could feel Jing Heng's thoughts.

When Da Bu asked her if she had anything to say to Jing Heng, she truly expressed her thoughts: "I remember what I said, and brother Li should also remember what he said. I am at home.

Wait for Brother Li to come!"

Dabu and his companions excused themselves to be on their way, declined the Qin family's offer to leave a meal, and left the Qin family with the words Qin Xiaoxiao gave Jingheng. Not long after they left, another guest came to the Qin family——

Zhou Baoer.

"I haven't seen Xiaoxiao for a few months, and I miss her a lot. Today is her birthday, so I couldn't help coming over to see her." Zhou Baoer was very unhappy when he thought that his arrival might disturb the Qin family.

Embarrassedly, he took out the birthday gift given to Qin Xiaoxiao.

"It's obvious. You can remember this girl's birthday and come all the way to see her. That's her blessing." Lin Qiuniang was polite. Seeing that Zhou Baoer gave her two pairs of small shoes, she took the opportunity to praise her.

She put away her good skills.

Zhou Baoer came here for Qin Xiaoxiao. Seeing the little girl standing not far away and refusing to get close to her, she pretended to be sad and said: "We haven't seen each other for only a few months, and Xiaoxiao has forgotten about my aunt... Alas, it's my aunt's fault.

I didn’t come over to see you earlier.”

Ever since she broke up with the Liu family and disowned Liu Dayong as her biological father, the relationship between Zhou Baoer and the Qin family had become awkward. To facilitate communication, she called Lin Qiuniang "sister", and Qin Xiaoxiao changed her name from Zhou Biao's aunt to Zhou Bao'er's.

Became Aunt Zhou.

Qin Xiaoxiao's feet were still wearing shoes made by Zhou Baoer. She was not as careless as Jing Heng thought. It was just that she had become a lot stranger after not seeing Zhou Baoer for several months, which made her unable to follow him as before.

She is close.

Hearing Zhou Baoer's resentful words at this time, the little girl didn't bother to reflect on whether she was too heartless, and rushed to Zhou Baoer's body like a baby: "No, I haven't forgotten my aunt~ It's my aunt who has become more beautiful, I'm afraid of being scared

Aunt~"

This made everyone laugh, Zhou Baoer also laughed like a flower, nodded her forehead and said with a smile: "This mouth is getting sweeter and sweeter, it must be sweetened by eating honey every day."

Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't tell that this was a joke, and explained seriously: "Auntie, I don't eat honey every day, I just ate sweet roots. Sanbao and I dug a lot of sweet roots, and they are very sweet."

Everyone laughed again, rubbing her little head and saying she was stupid.

Qin Xiaoxiao didn't understand what the adults were laughing at. She pouted and talked to Zhou Baoer. Gradually, the feeling of unfamiliarity disappeared. She opened her mouth and closed her mouth and shouted "aunty". This affectionate energy that seemed to put people in her heart made Zhou Baoer angry.

He held her and refused to let go.

The child was very playful, and after playing with Zhou Baoer for a while, Qin Xiaoxiao couldn't wait any longer. She got off Zhou Baoer's lap, and Sanbao and Sanbao grabbed a handful of white and tender sweet roots that had been washed, and ran out with rhubarb.

played.

Zhou Baoer sat for a while, and when he saw Mrs. Miao picking and washing vegetables to prepare lunch, he asked to leave, but Lin Qiuniang stayed behind: "It's early today, it's not too late to leave after dinner, how can I make you hungry?"

go back."

"No, Sister Qiu, I promised my aunt to go home for lunch. She would be worried if I didn't rush back." Zhou Baoer didn't want to stay at Qin's house for lunch, and indeed made an appointment with Xiao Zhou, so she declined Lin Qiuniang's offer.

kindness.

"You came here from your aunt's house? It doesn't matter. You didn't go back on time. Your aunt could have guessed that we left food." Lin Qiuniang didn't think much, thinking that Zhou Baoer came back to visit little Zhou, so she just pulled her and let her

Leave after eating.

"Sister Qiu, let's do it next time. I will definitely not be polite to you next time." Except for the two pairs of small shoes given to Qin Xiaoxiao, Zhou Baoer came here with nothing. She was embarrassed to stay at Qin's house for dinner and made up her mind to go back.

.

When Mrs. Miao, who came out to pour the water for washing vegetables, heard this, she put down the water basin and persuaded: "You came all the way to give Xiaoxiao a birthday gift, and if you go back with an empty stomach like this, outsiders should scold my Qin family."

Not polite."

For this reason, Zhou Baoer had no choice but to stay and said something to Mrs. Miao.

There was still some time before the meal was ready. Mr. Qin and his son were still busy in the seedling field and had not returned. Lin Qiuniang chatted with Zhou Baoer while tying straw ropes.

Just as they were chatting, Lin Qiuniang noticed something was wrong from Zhou Baoer's words: Zhou Baoer seemed to have had a conflict with the Meng family and had been living in the little Zhou family's house for a while.

She had a good impression of Zhou Bao'er, who was tough and smart, and she wanted to ask, but she was afraid that Zhao Cao'er, who was holding a straw rope at the other end, would make random inquiries, so she couldn't say anything.

The two of them didn't have many topics to talk about, so they chatted about the Liu family.

Knowing that Liu Dayong and Xiao Miao had not given up, they had come to the door to cause troubles from time to time in the past few months, which caused a lot of gossip in the Meng family. Lin Qiuniang vaguely guessed the reason why Zhou Baoer stayed at Xiao Zhou's house, and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.

Send sympathy.

"Bah, it's better to have such a kind father who doesn't like his daughter!" Zhao Cao'er also sympathized with Zhou Bao'er's experience and gave her a bad idea: "Let them continue to make trouble like this, you are in the husband's house

Life is also difficult, so why not share some of the money from selling land and houses with them and treat it like buying some peace and quiet."

Zhou Baoer sold the Zhou family's house and land just because he didn't want the Liu family to take any advantage. How could he ask for money to buy Qingjing? Knowing that Zhao Caoer had good intentions, she didn't dislike the bad idea and said calmly: "They won't be able to fool around for long.

, it will subside after a while.”

Zhao Cao'er was very curious and asked hurriedly: "Does Sister Zhou have a good way to deal with them? Can you tell me?"

Zhou Baoer didn't want to say it, but showed an envious look: "The second sister-in-law has a harmonious relationship with her mother's family, and her life in her husband's family is going well. This method is really impractical, so I won't say it, so as not to offend the second sister-in-law's ears.

.”

"Oh, how could Sister Zhou say such a good thing!" Zhao Cao'er felt very proud, but was afraid of showing off and annoying others, so she couldn't hold back her smile and comforted Zhou Bao'er: "Well, these days, don't we all get through it slowly?

Just keep it up and you'll be fine. Let me see, Sister Zhou is a lucky person, and good days are ahead!"

Zhou Baoer shook his head and smiled bitterly, as if he had no hope for the future.

Zhao Cao'er was too embarrassed to ask further and took the initiative to talk about something else, so that Zhou Bao'er wouldn't think about those troublesome people and troublesome things.

Seeing her sister-in-law being led away by Zhou Bao'er, Lin Qiuniang couldn't help but want to laugh, and she thought Zhao Cao'er was so wonderful. If it were someone who was narrow-minded but narrow-minded, she would be worried about how the relationship between her sister-in-law should be.

When the meal was almost ready, Mr. Qin and others came back from the fields and captured Qin Xiaoxiao and Sanbao who were playing too much and didn't want to go home for dinner.

Qin Xiaoxiao, this poor little thing, was "forced" by Qin Shan how she fought with Donkey Dan'er. It turned out that just this morning, the fight between her and Donkey Ball was spread as a strange thing, and many people spread it.

People don't believe that the Qin family's well-behaved and sensible little granddaughter would fight with others.

The Qin family couldn't believe it either. After catching Qin Xiaoxiao on the way back and hearing with their own ears how she and Lu Dan'er had a conflict and how Lu Dan'er's butt was injured, they finally believed in their little girl.

Just like rabbits, they will bite when they are anxious.

In response to this, the three fathers were not angry and believed that the little girl should not take action. It was Qin Shan, a father who was so unconventional that he actually taught his daughter the technique of beating people painfully without leaving scars.

What's even more outrageous is that Mr. Qin and Qin Chuan not only did not stop them, they also listened with great interest, and pointed out the shortcomings in Qin Shan's teaching skills, so that Qin Xiaoxiao would not make the same mistake.

After returning home, he saw six boxes placed in the house and knew that these were birthday gifts sent by Jingheng to Qin Xiaoxiao. Mr. Qin didn't say anything and asked Qin Shan to move the boxes back to the room.

However, Mr. Qin was a little surprised by Zhou Baoer's arrival, thinking that she would take the opportunity to mention the marriage. However, until after dinner, Lin Qiuniang went out to see Zhou Baoer off, and did not hear a word from her about acknowledging the marriage.

After a while, Lin Qiuniang returned to the room with her thoughts on her mind. She found that her daughter had already fallen asleep and her husband was sorting the things in the box, so she walked over and packed them together.

"It took half an hour to send someone off. Are you sending someone home?" Qin Shan saw that his wife was in a bad mood, so he made a joke to make her happy.

Lin Qiuniang couldn't laugh and sighed longly: "Liu Dayong and Xiao Miao are so capable. Seeing that Bao'er is about to live a good life, they are about to ruin it."

Qin Shan didn't care about the grievances between Zhou Baoer and the Liu family. He just saw his wife was so uncomfortable, so he followed her words and asked, "What's wrong? What did they do again?"

"What else can be done to cause trouble? For the money Zhou Baoer has from selling houses and land, they see Tian'er go to Meng's house and cause trouble, and they can't drive away like a leech."

Lin Qiuniang sympathized with Zhou Baoer and expressed her deep hatred for the Liu family in her words: "Because of this incident, the Meng family was very dissatisfied with Baoer. Baoer did not want to bring down the reputation of the Meng family, so he rented a house and moved out secretly.

live alone."

Qin Shan didn't expect that things would get to this point. After being surprised, he nodded: "It's really outrageous!"

Lin Qiuniang thought more: "If the Liu family doesn't calm down, Zhou Bao'er won't be able to return to the Meng family. She is the daughter-in-law of the Meng family, so how can she live outside all the time? If the neighbors find out, they may not know what they will say.

"

Qin Shan comforted: "Don't you always praise Zhou Bao'er for being smart? She will definitely think about the next step before taking this step. Anyway, things are like this, and there is no point in worrying about her. Besides, our daughter has blessed Zhou Bao'er, so she may survive this.

It will be fine in a while.”

Lin Qiuniang knew that her husband was right, but she still felt unhappy: "This world is too harsh on my daughter's family after all..."

If the Meng family could not bear the entanglement of the Liu family and divorced Zhou Baoer, Zhou Baoer's reputation would be ruined again, and he would not be able to find any good family in the future. As a woman, she understood the dilemma Zhou Baoer faced too well.

Looking at her sleeping daughter, she couldn't help but rejoice: "Fortunately, Xiaoxiao fell into our home and she will not suffer like this. When she reaches the age of finding a husband, we will find her a man she likes who can devote herself to her whole life."

Be kind to her, so that they can live a good life together as a couple."
