The pretty widow is addicted to money, and the little wolfdog asks for a hug

He Lizheng's home was just on the east side of the big locust tree in the south of the village, about a hundred meters away, so the wooden tables and chairs used for meetings were borrowed from He Lizheng's home.

After Gu Qinghuai sorted out the account books, he asked Qi Yuanshuo to send the wooden table and chairs back to He Lizheng's home.

The wooden table that Qi Yuanshuo had previously photographed looked fine at first, but now it broke into several pieces when it was moved.

Gu Qinghuai laughed, took out a dime and asked Qi Yuanshuo to compensate He Lizheng.

Gu Qingshan wanted to help, but Qi Yuanshuo stopped him: "Brother Qingshan, your spine is fine, don't use too much force, I'll do it."

“It’s okay, it’s not serious,” Gu Qingshan said.

Qi Yuanxiu laughed jokingly: "Qingshan, just let him go, he is full of energy. Besides, he broke the wooden table with a slap, he needs to apologize."

Gu Qingshan then smiled and put down the two wooden chairs in his hands.

Qi Yuanshuo glanced at Gu Qinghuai, touched his nose embarrassedly, picked up the wooden table and walked towards He Lizheng's house.

Gu Qinghuai, Gu Qingshan and Qi Yuanxiu went back first.

When Qi Yuanshuo apologized, He Lizheng said with a smile, it's okay, it's just a wooden table.

But Luo had a sullen face and kept complaining, looking very unhappy until Qi Yuanshuo took out the silver coin, and then she relaxed her expression.

After Qi Yuanshuo turned and left, He Jinrou glared at Luo and said, "Mother, Zhao Xiaoshi didn't do it on purpose. How could you give him such a cold shoulder? I'll go and apologize to him!"

After saying that, he immediately put down the watering can in his hand and ran out of the yard.

He Lizheng pointed at Luo and said unhappily, "You are so shallow. You are so rude to me just for a wooden table. Is Xiao Shitou the ignorant one? Didn't I pay compensation? You, as a mother, are not as magnanimous and sensible as Rou'er!"

When Mrs. Luo heard this, she immediately got angry, "Am I not generous? He paid the money, but I still have to make a new desk!"

"That dime is enough to buy a few wooden tables, don't you see?" He Lizheng said coldly, "Learn more from Rou'er how to behave in society in the future. You will offend everyone in the village by doing this!"

"I learned from her?" Luo was so angry that she gasped, "Do you know why your daughter is so enthusiastic about Zhao Xiaoshi?"

He Lizheng glanced at her unhappily: "Why? Because Rou'er is sensible!"

"Sensible?" Luo's tone was full of sarcasm, "Your daughter has fallen in love with Zhao Xiaoshi! She wants to marry him! What kind of person is he? She doesn't even look at her family background. How dare a poor boy living under someone else's roof covet my Rou'er! No matter how poor my Rou'er is, she is still the daughter of the head of the village! The sister of the scholar!"

When He Lizheng heard this, he was stunned. He grabbed Luo's arm and asked, "What did you say? Rou'er fell in love with Zhao Xiaoshi? Zhao Xiaoshi has a crush on my Rou'er?"

Luo pouted and snorted, "You just know it now!"

He Lizheng frowned, thought for a moment and said, "You must be wrong. I'm afraid that our Rou'er is just eyeing Little Shitou. How could Little Shitou like Rou'er?"

Although he felt that his daughter was a good match and would be suitable to marry a nice young man from a farming family, or a rich young man or scholar from the county town, but... she was really not worthy of Xiao Shitou.

To be disrespectful, the young man gave him the feeling of a dragon stranded on the beach or a tiger trapped in the plain. He did not look like an ordinary human at all.

Rou'er's aura is totally incompatible with his, and she can't even get close to him.

"He Maoshi! You...you...Rou'er is your biological daughter! How can you be a father like you?!" Luo was so angry that her face turned green when she heard her man belittle her daughter and praise others.

He Lizheng sighed and said earnestly: "It is precisely because I am her biological father that I care about her. It is important for people to know themselves. Since you are a small grass on the ground, you should not look up to the beautiful branches in the sky!

Xiuqin, open your eyes and take a look. How can our daughter be worthy of Zhao Xiaoshi? Appearance? Ability? Vision? Temperament and demeanor? Zhao Xiaoshi's gestures and movements, how can he be like a country bumpkin?

I have also seen some young masters from aristocratic families. Even if Zhao Xiaoshi is wearing a linen shirt and straw sandals, his temperament is better than that of young masters from aristocratic families! Although he is Zhao Wang's adopted son, what if he has a very important background? "

"You've said so much, but isn't Zhao Xiaoshi still a poor boy living under someone else's roof? He follows Gu Qinghuai around every day, what future does he have!" Luo rolled her eyes and said disdainfully.

He Lizheng was extremely helpless: "You, you, how can you have such a bad vision... Oh, forget it, when Rou'er comes back, I will tell her in person that she must give up on Zhao Xiaoshi! Don't dream of something you can never get, otherwise, she will bring shame upon herself!"

Luo said coldly, "That's what I mean too. Don't allow Rou'er to associate with Zhao Xiaoshi anymore! But it's not because my Rou'er is not worthy of Zhao Xiaoshi, it's because Zhao Xiaoshi is not worthy of my Rou'er!"

He Lizheng looked at her without saying anything, but his eyes were heavy.

On the other side, after He Jinrou caught up with Qi Yuanshuo, she blushed and said shyly: "Zhao Xiaoshi, I'm sorry, my mother didn't mean anything else just now, she was just in a bad mood and caused you trouble."

Qi Yuanshuo had a blank expression on his face and said calmly: "It's okay, I don't care."

After saying that, he turned around and was about to move forward. He Jinrou immediately said, "Zhao Xiaoshi! Wait a minute!"

Qi Yuanshuo paused and looked back in confusion.

He Jinrou immediately stepped forward, lowered her eyes, and handed him a sachet: "This is the sachet I embroidered myself, for you."

There are two mandarin ducks embroidered on the sachet, lying with their necks intertwined.

Qi Yuanshuo glanced at the sachet and said coldly: "Miss He, I have no intention of you. Don't bother me anymore, otherwise I won't be polite anymore!"

After saying that, he raised his feet and left.

He Jinrou held the sachet, her eyes wide open, and stood there in a daze, a look of disbelief on her face.

Zhao Xiaoshi actually rejected her?

Still with such a cold and resolute attitude!

Thinking of his attitude just now which was as cold as ice, He Jinrou's heart ached.

Why? !

She is the daughter of a village head and her brother is a scholar with a promising future. How could she not be worthy of a poor man who lives under someone else's roof?

This poor guy actually rejected me?

He would rather follow Gu Qinghuai and curry his favor than have her?

She is a pure and innocent virgin, but Gu Qinghuai has been married for a long time and is no longer pure. Her husband has died and she is pregnant. She is a widow who brings bad luck to her husband!

After a long time, He Jinrou slowly took back the sachet. She bit her lower lip tightly but couldn't stop the tears in her eyes.

She returned home in a daze, rushed into the room, threw herself on the bed and burst into tears.

He Lizheng and Luo were frightened when they saw her like that. They hurried into the house and asked with concern what was going on.
