Qin Xiaoxiao and Hu Qingqing looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

However, the name Xiuxiu left a trace in Qin Xiaoxiao's heart. She felt that with Xueya's temperament, it was impossible to suddenly mention an irrelevant person, and she also reminded them not to ask their family members about this person's origins.

Qin Xiaoxiao pinched Dahuang's ears unconsciously, unable to think of a reason, so he put the matter aside for the time being.

Rhubarb wagged its tail, rubbed it in her palm, and then lay down in the thick withered grass, staring into the distance.

Baa Baa wandered around it, plowing its hooves hard from time to time to dig out the grass roots buried in the shallow layer and eat them, or eat those tough grass stems to taste the pitiful little juice inside.

Qin Xiaoxiao kept picking chrysanthemums with her fingers while chatting with Xueya and Hu Qingqing. Most of the time, she and Xueya were chatting, and Hu Qingqing rarely spoke.

When talking about Xueya's marriage, Hu Qingqing suddenly asked: "Sister Xueya, the situation of the An family is so bad. If you recruit the eldest brother of the An family, aren't you afraid that his younger brothers and sisters will pester you for money and things?"

Xueya glanced at her and said: "Of course I knew they couldn't do such a shameless thing, so I went to all the trouble to recruit Brother An to marry me. Otherwise, no matter how good he is, I wouldn't care to live with him.

"

Hu Qingqing said thoughtfully: "When you recruit the eldest brother of the An family to be your husband, you also have to look at the character of his family, right?"

Xue Ya hummed, and then said: "Although I brought him in, he is a member of the Qin family, but the An family is his natal family, and his younger brothers and sisters are also relatives of mine. We have little contact with each other on weekdays. If his character is not good,

, those days were quite boring.”

Having said that, she rarely had time to warn her two younger sisters: "You have reached the age of proposing marriage. Whether you are getting married or raising a child, don't be stupid like someone in the village who jumps into a fire pit when you see it. I am with you.

You said that once you jump in, it will be difficult to get out."

The person she was talking about was her childhood friend. A few years ago, she was obsessed with the appearance of a man, even though she knew he had a wife, had children at home, and that his wife was even forced to death by his parents.

, she was determined to marry him, and felt that she had the ability to live a good life.

As a result, the man who was usually considerate to her would speak harshly to her whenever he saw her being "disobedient" to her parents-in-law. Her two stepsons and stepdaughters also fought against her and refused to obey her discipline at all.

In just three years, her unhappy life had turned her into a woman without energy. Her infatuated love for her husband had long since disappeared, and she only found him to be disgusting.

She regretted it, but she couldn't find a chance to jump out of the fire pit.

Qin Xiaoxiao looked at her cousin with deep admiration.

Sister Xueya didn't know about Sister Qingqing, but she could guess something from Sister Qingqing's words, and reminded Sister Qingqing in such a to-the-point way. No wonder her mother always praised her for being smart.

"Sister Xueya, it would be great if everyone was as decisive as you." Compared with Xueya, Hu Qingqing felt more and more unsatisfied, and her determination to marry Li Zhao was shaken again.

"What's so difficult about this? Just be cruel," Xue Ya said lightly, but she learned it from Qinchuan Zhao Cao'er's neglect since childhood.

Qin Xiaoxiao and Hu Qingqing had nothing to say. Different experiences made it difficult for them to be cruel.

The three of them worked very efficiently, and in less than an hour, their baskets were almost full. Seeing the sun rising above their heads, and it was time for lunch, they stopped and walked home with Dahuang and Meimea.

.

Halfway through, I met a group of aunts who were going to collect firewood from the mountains after dinner. One of the aunts said to Qin Xiaoxiao: "I heard that there is a quarrel in your family. Your grandfather is going to beat your father with a pole. You should go home quickly.

Please advise."

Qin Xiaoxiao's heart skipped a beat, and after thanking the aunt, she said to Xueya Hu Qingqing: "I have to go home quickly, I won't wait for you."

After that, she kicked off and ran down the mountain quickly, fearing that she would be late when she got home and her father would ask her grandfather to beat him up.

Seeing this, Dahuang and Meimei changed their slow pace and hurriedly chased after them.

"Xiaoxiao, please slow down, the chrysanthemum is knocked out of you!" Hu Qingqing chased her and yelled. Seeing that she was running faster, she had to squat down to pick up the chrysanthemum that had been bumped along the way and put it into her backpack.

.

"Stop picking it up, something big must have happened!" Xueya pulled her and ran home quickly without caring about her own basket.
