FH Chapter 61: 结为夫妻
[Become husband and wife]
Either Li Haitang or Li Qiu Ju, are ‘losing money’ silly girls,it doesn’t matter who they sell, getting the silver into their hand is true, so for the replacement of this matter, Li old lady after the surprise, becomes calm.
Only, this calm in the eyes of Liu and Li Qiu Ju, extraordinarily ironic, especially Li Qiu Ju, almost sprayed a mouthful of heart blood, she schemes against Li Haitang, in the end, the bad luck is their own!
Good thing, she and Liu Fu got engaged, there is Liu Fu in the middle of maneuvering, she is certainly not to be sent to the far Northwest.
Furthermore, those who don’t know are not guilty, she didn’t even know that she had become the Qin family’s death contract subordinate.
“Cousin, grandma has always wanted to sell us both.”
Li Haitang got a bargain and started to sow discord again, anyway, she was secretly happy to see the Li family’s angry expressions.
In order to show his impartiality, Governor Fan personally announced that Li Haitang and Xiao Lingchuan were married, and also paid out of his own pocket for the official messenger to go to the grocery store to buy wedding candies and cakes to distribute to the people outside.
“My lord, you are really a good official who loves the common people like your own son (praise for a virtuous ruler)!”
The Li family suffered a setback and almost spit out blood in anger, Li Haitang suffered any loss and got ruined reputation, she had good words coming out of her mouth like it doesn’t need money at all, all sorts of praises for County Magistrate Fan, “My lord, I will definitely burn incense every day, praying to the bodhisattva to bless you with all the best and good luck in your official career.”
“There’s no need for that, this is all that this official should do.”
County Magistrate Fan was praised until he was red-faced, and fluttered out of the hall without paying any further attention to the Li family’s crowd.
“Li Haitang, don’t be proud of yourself!”
After this, Li Qiuju didn’t want to pretend anymore, she covered her stomach and cursed, “Your mother likes to hook up with men, so do you, but you’re not as lucky as your mother. Look at you, what kind of goods you found!”
The savages live in the mountains, eat raw meat, drink raw blood, not to mention sleeping with wild beasts in their arms at night.
“Cousin, you can’t be angry and confused when you see that the deed of sale is not me, right?”
Li Haitang dusted off the dust on the corner of her skirt and laughed, “Don’t worry, we’re sisters, you’ll be abused and beaten by Counselor Qin in the future, if I’m in a good mood, I’ll send you medicine for your injuries!”
“You …”
Li Qiuju only felt a tightness in her belly, something seemed to flow out of her lower body, and she didn’t care to fight with Li Haitang, “Mother, quickly find Liu Fu, I . …I’m not feeling well!”
“It’s not good, the Qin Mansion has hung out white lanterns, Officer Qin is gone!”
In the crowd, not knowing who shouted.
Counselor Qin has no relatives, no descendants, if he’s gone, then only the government will take over, the money gained will be passed on to the higher authorities and the dead deeds of Qin’s subordinates will have to be resold for a second time.
Li Qiu Ju immediately thought of this, she rolled her eyes and her head fell down to the earth.
Old Mrs. Li was indifferent to her granddaughter and did not get on to help, while Liu was in a daze, when she heard the sound and wanted to get on, it was already too late.
“Come here, quickly send my family Qiu Ju to the medical center ah, she is pregnant!”
Liu looked at the blood coming out of Li Qiu Ju’s lower body, took a few steps back, sitting on the ground, her heart was icy cold.
Li Haitang didn’t leave, just stood in place to spectate this step, bring disaster on other sins, can’t live, she didn’t sympathize with Li Qiu Ju at all, if she was sold, her fate would only be more miserable.
“The unmarried young lady is pregnant, did she steal a man?”
Farce scene after scene, this time more and more the onlookers, Li Qiu Ju was sent to the medical center, the people are hesitant to disperse, blocked in front of the medical center, waiting for news.
…
Since Master Qin died, the Qin family subordinates have been in chaos.
The people gathered in one place to discuss the solution, when many years of subordinates more or less saved a little bit of belongings,when the old man died, instead of being resold, it is better to spend money to ransom (free) themselves, and later on, they will be free.
Qin’s old study had a small box, inside it was the last few days ‘too late to deposit the silver to the money bank’, heard that the rice and grain store account book was lost, they suddenly have an idea.
“Let’s just divide it equally per head and then go to the Yamen to beg Governor Fan.”
Liu Fu secretly happy, he had long had plans in his heart, earned a lot of benefit, he went back to his hometown to buy dozens of acres of fields, to be a small landlord, to marry and have children, to live a practical life, and never be a subordinate again.
“Liu Fu, your little lady, called Qiu Ju, was sold to the Qin family, said it was a death contract!”
Qin family underlings sent a letter, Liu Fu, full of plans for his own, did not mind at all, that bitch has his child (pregnant),a few taels of ransom silver, he can afford to pay.
Once upon a time he couldn’t find a wife because he was a subordinate, or after getting free, he must marry a full of life maiden.
“Not marry that Li Qiu Ju?”
Someone asked, it was rumored that both were betrothed.
“That bitch is not betrothed, she slept with me for a silver hairpin, can I marry this kind of goods?”
Liu Fu snorted, in her eyes, Li Qiu Ju is just a little bit better than prostitute, the same are both vain and gain petty advantages; he did not gave her less money
A few subordinates gathered together, who did not have the heart to attend the funeral of Qin. The people divided the silver money, turn their heads to pack the baggage.
After tossing and turning for one day, unknowingly it was dinner time, Li Haitang came out from the county office and only ate a dry piece of ‘double happiness cakes’, pastries offered by a man to his fiancée’s family at the time of their engagement.
“Brother-in-law, let’s buy some food and have a good meal.”
Li Jin Hu knew that his big sister had silver and proposed.
Today’s day is unusual, County Magistrate Fan returned Li Haitang’s horoscope card that she and Xiao Lingchuan exchanged in the county office, but also by the private adviser took care of the file, to get the travel permit, she officially married.
Just like in modern times, two people get married, the license is equal to the legal recognition, and inviting friends and relatives to eat the food and drink served at a feast or feast menu, to take a form.
Li Jin Hu is a slippery person, changing his mouth quickly.
“Then what am I called, husband?”
Li Haitang smiled, she always had an urge to molest the savage, it was reasonable and legal if they did the wedding night.
However, the original owner’s parents had just died not long ago, so even though the original owner had a little responsibility, dressed very plain.
“Okay.”
Xiao Lingchuan proposed to go to a restaurant to have a meal, but the siblings just wanted to go home quickly.
Before leaving, Li Haitang specially used the grocery store to buy a firecracker, to the door of the Qin family to celebrate, the Qin family stirrups, those suffering women, do not have to suffer abuse, can be considered to be relieved.
On the way back, Xiao Lingchuan frequently raised the horsewhip, drove the car fast when the moon was in the sky, the three entered the mountains and went back home.
A trip, buying food and a lot of things.
Husband and wife divided the work, Xiao Lingchuan prepared the food in the stove, while Li Haitang was busy in the house, changing the gauze net, quilt, curtains, setting up vases and so on as decorations, and putting two thick dragon and phoenix wedding candles on the table.
“Jie, in the next two days I will go to the Foothill Academy to study, and will only be able to come back once every three months in the future.” Li Jin Hu couldn’t rest assured about his own big sister in the end, but with today’s situation, he believed that his big sister wouldn’t suffer, moreover, his brother-in-law was very great.
