Reborn female match

As the sun slanted to the west, smoke rose from the houses on both sides of the bustling streets and alleys.In the knife sharpening shop, the smell of rust and the sound of the knife being sharpened surrounds the ears.

An Tong didn't know why she was flustered at that moment, but she soon found that Xu Xiangru's eyes were not on her.

Looking back sideways, he saw Xu San in a green shirt walking into an alley while making jokes with a woman in his arms.

"..."

An Tong finally understood why Xu Xiangru's expression had changed - there seemed to be nothing more irritating and disappointing than meeting one's own father looking for a private nest.

Xu Xiangru followed silently, An Tong opened his mouth, leaving a servant waiting, and followed Xu Xiangru with Ren Cuirou.

The alley is not deep, there are only a few families, and there are children playing, it is not like the "private alley" they encountered last time.However, that woman was most likely Xu San's good friend, and she didn't look like an official prostitute or a domestic prostitute.

Xu Xiangru stood at the entrance of the alley without moving for a while, and An Tong also guessed what she was thinking. If she went to that family's house, it would surely disturb Xu San's good affairs, and Xu San's affair would be broken if Xu San was broken by his daughter. Embarrassed and angry, the father and daughter will have to turn their heads.

But let her act as if she didn't see anything, and she can't do it, so she is in this dilemma.

Xu Xiangru clenched and loosened her fists, she thought for a while, and went back to the knife sharpening shop.

An Tong poked her: "Are you okay?"

"It's okay." Xu Xiangru said.

"you……"

"Miss An wants to ask me why I didn't go to my father?" Xu Xiangru turned his head to look at An Tong, but his expression returned to the previous indifferent appearance.

An Tong had a flash of inspiration, and instead of answering, asked, "Why don't you inquire about that woman's identity?"

"Even if we go to inquire, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find out anything." Xu Xiangru shook his head.

Apparently she didn't move just now, it was after careful consideration.

An Tong was a little puzzled: "Why?"

"I remember what Mrs. An said about the collusion between the private nest and the gambling house. Even if this kind of thing never happened to my father, it is enough to make people vigilant. If the private nest really conspired with the gambling house, then There must be accomplices around private nests, if I rush over to inquire, wouldn’t it be easy to scare the snakes? Although I’m not sure which private nests they are, but I can’t take it lightly, right?”

"Is it possible that you didn't see anything?"

Xu Xiangru lowered his eyes: "That's my father, how can I pretend I didn't see anything?"

An Tong stared at her for a moment, then said, "Then I'll help you!"

After finishing speaking, he walked into the knife sharpening shop and took the rusty horizontal knife in his hand.Not only did the knife grinder not listen to her advice, but he also started to attack her. He was immediately angry: "Hey, are you deaf?"

"You said if I broke the knife, what would happen to the government?" An Tong asked.

The knife sharpener stared at her: "You, you dare?!"

"Why don't I dare? I broke the knife and I can walk away, but you will be held accountable by the government."

The knife sharpener choked: "You are the one who broke the knife!"

"But nothing will happen to me, do you want to make a bet?"

She was so proud, and there was a servant beside her, that the knife sharpener hesitated.

Thinking about it in his heart, the so-called good man does not suffer from immediate losses, so he hurriedly bowed and begged for mercy: "Little lady, please speak up if you have something to say! It was my fault just now, I shouldn't be rude and disrespectful to the little lady, please forgive me. indivual!"

An Tong rolled his eyes: "Forgive you? It's not impossible! But you have to answer honestly."

"I will answer honestly!"

"You said your shop is a time-honored brand?"

"Isn't that right? Our ancestors have been knife sharpeners for three generations, and this shop has been open for fifty years!" said the knife sharpener, quite proudly.

"Then you are familiar with this place?"

The knife grinder nodded.

"Then let me ask you, is there anyone selling flesh in that alley?" An Tong lowered his voice.

Hearing this, the knife grinder's black and yellow rough face turned red, and he looked at An Tong with annoyed eyes: "You little lady, why are you asking these questions?"

"Dangdang——" An Tong tapped the rusty horizontal knife.

"Yes!" The knife sharpener immediately relented, "The family surnamed Li gave birth to a daughter named Li Jiaojiao, and it started a few years ago—" At this point, he felt a little embarrassed to say, "There have been strangers coming to the door. "

"Aside from trading in skins and meat, is there no other activity?"

The knife sharpener looked at her suspiciously: "Why do you ask this?"

"What's none of your business? Just answer honestly!"

An Tong returned the words that the knife grinder scolded her, and An Tong felt more at ease.

"..."

An Tong took out the purse and waved it in front of him.

"I don't know if there are other activities, but there are quite a lot of rascals dealing with the Li family."

An Tong understood in his heart, gave the purse to the knife grinder, and returned the horizontal knife.The knife grinder took the money and the knife, and hurriedly put them back in a safe place.He didn't attack An Tong any more. After all, An Tong was so generous, he had better not provoke him.

The reason why An Tong didn't hand over the banknotes was mainly because she didn't want people to recognize her identity through the Anjia seal on the banknotes.

"Inquire clearly." An Tong said to Xu Xiangru.

Xu Xiangru looked at her silently, making her feel scared: "What, what's the matter? But there is still something I want to inquire about?"

Xu Xiangru sighed, thinking that An Tong's coercion and temptation, although the words were asked out, it was hard to guarantee that he would not startle the snake.Fortunately, she knows how to use copper coins instead of handing over banknotes, and she didn't reveal why she asked so much.

Why can't she be satisfied with An Tong helping her like this?Shaking his head: "No, go back when the knife is sharpened!"

It was getting dark, so An Tong and Xu Xiangru stayed at Second Uncle An's house for another night, and returned to Fuqiu Village together the next day.

Although he didn't get the answer he wanted this time, it wasn't all fruitless. At least he learned about the filth of the Cuju competition and Xu San's repeat of the same mistakes.

"It's really hopeless!" An Tong felt sorry for Xu Xiangru meeting such a father.

Shao Ru happened to come over, and when he heard the words, he asked, "What is hopeless? Did you have fun in the city yesterday, little lady?"

"Not very happy."

"What's wrong?" Shao Ru looked at Ren Cuirou in surprise, hoping to get some information from her.However, Ren Cuirou was told by An Tong not to tell anyone, so she didn't interrupt.

An Tong didn't answer, but asked instead: "Has the matter of planting rice seedlings at Granny Zhang's house been settled?"

"Well, people have been hired to help with the seedling field. There are not many fields, and the seedlings will be finished in two days."

"Then do you still have money? If you don't have any, you can tell Auntie first, and ask Auntie to give you some money."

Granny Zhang's family is supported by Shao Ru's wages, and she is old, so she will inevitably suffer from some illnesses, and it costs a lot of money just to find a doctor to see a doctor and buy medicine.Granny Zhang needed someone to take care of her, but Shao Ru couldn't take care of both, so An Tong would let her go back and have a look at her every day in her spare time.

Shao Ru was slightly taken aback, she didn't expect An Tong to care about her and Granny Zhang, and she didn't know what to feel.

She was absent-minded for only a moment, and then she said: "Li Zheng's wages are half higher than others'. For my mother-in-law and me, it is more than enough for food and clothing."

"What about Cui Rou?"

Ren Cuirou smiled and said: "That's enough. My parents said they would save it for me as a dowry. Although they still went hunting in the mountains, they didn't go deep into the forest like before."

"Did you catch the rabbit?"

"The servant girl hasn't gone back for a few days, but I don't know."

"Let's go and have a look some other day. If there is a rabbit, catch one and cook it in soy sauce!"

Shao Ru was not interested in their topic, thinking about the half-day happy time when An Tong was away yesterday and she and Jiang Shengan stayed together.It would be great if Jiang Sheng'an didn't have this marriage with An Tong, and she doesn't have to be so conflicted about An Tong.

In early March, An Tong's broad beans finally matured, and she happily organized An Xin and others to help her collect the broad beans.

At this time, she heard the news that Du Su was going to get married, so she happily brought half a bag of broad beans, intending to "comfort" Xu Xiangru.

After all, she knew that there were many people in Fuqiu Village who liked Xu Xiangru, and there were quite a few people who proposed marriage to Xu's family, but the one-way relationship was cut off by Xu's family in the end.

And Du Su was the only person An Tong met who showed her love to Xu Xiangru, so she was a little bit annoyed because of this, she felt that no one expressed her love to her, so she was a head shorter than Xu Xiangru.

Later, when she thought that she already had a marriage, it seemed that no one would be so short-sighted and dare to think ill of her, so she was relieved.

But after listening to Du Su's infatuation in recent years, she has a row of sore teeth.Now Du Su is getting married, that is to say, there is one less person who likes Xu Xiangru!

But when she arrived in front of Xu's house, she suddenly realized that even if there is one less person who likes Xu Xiangru, so what?Jiang Sheng'an, who has a marriage contract with her, has switched to Xu Xiangru's arms, isn't she the one who doesn't even have anyone who admires her?

Thinking of this, a feeling of grief crept into her heart, and she unwillingly threw the broad beans into Xu's courtyard... Before she had time to gloat, she realized that she was the one who needed comfort the most, so what did she do to comfort Xu Xiangru? !

"..." Xu Xiangru who was coming out of the main room was speechless when he saw her inexplicable behavior.

An Tong stared at Xu Xiangru. Although he felt wronged, he still couldn't bear to let the broad beans he had worked so hard to just throw away.She ran over to pick up the bag, walked up to Xu Xiangru and stuffed the bag.

Xu Xiangru hugged the sack and felt a little heavy.Seeing An Tong's strange expression again, she asked: "Why does Miss An have to make trouble with this half bag of things?"

"This is a broad bean that I have worked so hard to grow, but baby, how can I have trouble with it?"

"So it's Miss An's baby broad beans... Are you trying to force them to sell to me?"

"Well, this half bag costs twenty Wen!"

Xu Xiangru smiled, returned it to An Tong, and said, "Then I can't afford it."

"Twenty Wen is too expensive?"

Xu Xiangru was silent for a moment, then said: "Miss An, I won't buy it, you can take it back!"

An Tong noticed something was wrong, she restrained her face and said: "I'm not kidding you, I gave this to you. I don't expect this acre of broad beans to sell for money, but I just want you to try it."

Xu Xiangru looked at the hair hanging down on An Tong's forehead that was wet with sweat and sticking to her forehead, and her slightly dark but red skin, and knew how long she had been under the scorching sun.You can imagine her excitement and joy when she was harvesting broad beans in the field.

Heart throbbing slightly.

"Are you reluctant because Du Su is going to get married tomorrow?"

Xu Xiangru: "?"

An Tong sighed and comforted her: "Actually, you don't have to be so sad, you gain only if you give up! Although you lost another person who admired you, you gained another sincerity, right? You can't be too greedy! You also have to consider my mood..."

Xu Xiangru opened her eyes wide, what did she hear?She has gained another heart, thinking about An Tong's mood?What An Tong meant could be...
