Chapter 11: Zhuì Xù (son-in-law living at wife's parent's house)

An unmarried man and a married woman walked together. The relationship between the two did not look like that of an employer and employee, Zhou Chengwen still talked to the lady with a smile on his face, no matter how strange it looked.

"Sister, the Zhou family's eldest brother..." Zhao Wanwan frowned, "Will your marriage be affected?"

Li Qinghe smiled and scraped her nose, " At such a young age, you are thinking quite a lot."

Even in the countryside, there were rules. To get married, Zhou Chengkang has to take turns with his brother before him. Besides, that person hasn't expressed his mind until now. Why is she anxious?

Li Qinghe was not in a hurry. Although Mrs. Qian wants to marry her out, it was useless. No one could force her to do things she doesn't want to do. "You should think about how to convince your mother to let you come out to work."At that, Zhao Wanwan's face became bitter.

The two went around the town, Li Qinghe even bought a wooden hairpin for Zhao Wanwan. When Li Fu and Mrs.Qian came over, their faces were not looking too good.

Mrs. Qian seemed to be talking in a low voice. Li Fu was indifferent. When they got closer, she didn't say anything. She looked at the wooden hairpin on Zhao Wanwan's head and frowned. "You're spending your silver again, what's the use of buying this for inappropriate spending?"

Zhao Wanwan lowered her head, Li Qinghe impatiently said, "I bought it."

Mrs. Qian choked.

"Go home, what are you making a ruckus for?" Li Fu was also very impatient and took the lead to walk home.

Judging from his appearance, the silver must not have been recovered. There was silence on the way back. Zhao Wanwan had something in her heart, and she secretly glanced at Mrs.Qian's face several times. When he could already see the big tree at the entrance of the village, Li Fu suddenly remembered what he had said earlier and turned around and apologized, "Wanwan, sorry. I didn’t take you for a stroll on the market street today. I will take you the next time I get an opportunity. All right?"

Zhao Wanwan hurriedly refused, "No need father, sister took me around. " Looking at Li Fu's apologetic eyes, she suddenly said, "When sister and I walked to the bun shop today, the aunt recognized sister and asked us for help to make a banquet for the Sun family. She said they would pay forty coppers for the work. Father, can I go?"　

"Go." Li Fu replied casually and instructed Li Qinghe, " You keep an eye on your sister."

Mrs. Qian who was sitting beside him wanted to say something, but no one paid her any attention. Their sight fell at the scene under the big tree at the entrance of the village. Today’s entrance seemed to be a little different. The autumn harvest was about to be harvested. The weather was very hot. Many people came to the village entrance every afternoon to take a break. They all chatted there to relieve boredom, but today's crowd was gathered together in a group.

A woman's sharp voice rose from the midst of the crowd, "The whole family has bad intentions. Let everyone here judge. Since I gave birth to Qingmiao and hurt my body in childbirth, I have said to outsiders more than once that my Qingmiao will be recruiting in the future. Recently, Qingmiao and Zhou Lao Er* are close, I also did not say anything. There were many brothers in the Zhou family. Everyone knows that. I thought Sister Zhou knew what she’s doing. I didn't expect that after the children got along well, your side wouldn't agree. Is this a game?"

(TN: Zhou Lao Er = Zhou’s second child)

The one who spoke was Li Qinghe's aunt from the next house, who was quite close to her, and there were most of the Li family in the village, so many people whispered to her to keep her voice down and discuss slowly, but she became more agitated and waved her hand and said, "If you don't agree to join the family, the marriage can't be done!”
