Child Bride’s Peaches and Plums Are All Over the World

"When we earn money for you, you don't have to work so hard," Mother Qu pulled Qu Jingxi and whispered, "We will rent a house to live in by ourselves, and marry your third sister quickly, even if she doesn't pay the rent, we can afford it."

Just as Qu Jingxi was about to speak, Father Qu, who was silent at the side, knocked on the pipe, and said to him seriously: "Don't always think about going out to play, you have nothing to do, go to your husband, and now your third sister has become a teacher in the academy, and the time in front of them is less. If you don't work hard at this time, is it possible that you still want to be oppressed by her for the rest of your life?"

Mother Qu nodded repeatedly, pulled him and said in a low voice: "Your third sister is ruthless, apart from her sisters, how can you still remember you? So you have to make plans for yourself as soon as possible. When you gain a firm foothold with your husband, we don't need to look at her face. We will find her...a good man to marry."

Qu Jingxi fell silent, and after a while, she looked at her parents and nodded.

It's just a pity that Qu's father and Qu's mother's plan came to nothing. Li Baolu has always valued Qu Weizhen, but in two years, Qu Weizhen not only taught in the academy, she also began to participate in the management of the academy.

Moreover, they often went to and from the Qin Mansion. On the contrary, their son could only study hard. Although he often went to the Qin Mansion, he only went to ask for homework. Obviously, he was not as favored by the gentlemen as his third sister.

Because every time the Qin family sent something over, they made it clear that they should be handed over to Qu Weizhen.

What makes Qu's father and Qu's mother the most unacceptable is that the entire family's expenses depend on Qu Weizhen, Qu Jingxi is still studying, paper, ink, pens and inkstones and books need to be spent a lot of money, and Qingxi Academy teaches six arts, horses can be rented in the academy, but learning to learn painting requires buying paints, learning piano requires buying pianos, learning archery requires bows and arrows, learning chess requires a set of chessboards...

They set up a stall outside Yunlu Academy, earning at most a hundred dollars a day, and the family's expenses include food and rent in addition to rent. They can't let Xiaobao be inferior to others in the academy, so they have to make new clothes every year, and give him some money every month, so as not to look at people's faces when they go out with their classmates.

With such a huge amount of money, the couple couldn't afford it at all, so they could only use Qu Weizhen's money.

And using her money depends on her face, otherwise she will throw her hands away and live in the academy, and they will have nothing to do with her.

At the beginning, Qu's father and Qu's mother wanted to marry Qu Weizhen quickly so that she would not become the overlord in the family, but after two months of taking over the housekeeping rights, the couple no longer mentioned the matter of her getting married, and instead feared that she would marry.

If she gets married, who will Xiaobao rely on for her future expenses?

And it is true that Qu Weizhen has never been married. After eighteen, and then twenty, her parents didn't mention it, and she was not in a hurry, as if she had forgotten that she was going to get married.

Qu Jingxi felt a headache when she saw it. At the beginning, they acted like this because they wanted their parents to be more peaceful and treat their sisters better. Who knew that it was self-defeating, and the third sister didn't want to get married at all.

Qu Jingxi couldn't help talking to her, "Third Sister, what kind of person do you like? I have a few classmates who haven't married yet, but they are about the same age as you, maybe they are destined."

Qu Weizhen stared at the book in his hand, and said indifferently: "I have seen all of your classmates, and there is no one I like."

"Then what do you like, my brother will find it for you."

Only then did Qu Weizhen close the book, and looked up at him, "Why, you think Third Sister is an eyesore, so you want to marry me?"

"Third sister, you know that's not what I mean," Qu Jingxi scratched her head and said, "I just don't want to drag you down because of me."

Qu Weizhen smiled, raised the book in his hand and said, "You didn't drag me down, it's because I don't want to get married."

"lifetime?"

"At present, this is my plan." Qu Weizhen said indifferently.

Qu Jing frowned, he had already expected it, but now he was just certain. He opened his mouth, not knowing whether to persuade or agree with her. Forcing her to marry may not make her happy, and not marrying her may not make her happy in the future, and she will not regret it.

"Marriage is just a change of place to live, or three meals a day. The difference is that I have to face a family again and win their approval. Life may not be as good as it is now. Why should I go to blame?"

Over the years, she has fought wits and courage with her parents, forcing them to regress little by little, and finally won enough space for survival and freedom for herself.

When she went to the academy to teach, she would no longer be looked at by them with disdainful and contemptuous eyes, but full of jealousy, envy and reliance; when she went to outings and parties, she didn’t need to seek their permission, and they didn’t dare to say in front of her that she was unruly and playful; even if the money she earned was wasted, they would at most whisper a few words, and they didn’t dare to intervene indiscriminately, and they didn’t dare to scold her...

This is the result of how many years of hard work she has achieved. Is it necessary to give up the achievements of these years and start anew in another family?

She wasn't so bored yet, and these struggles didn't bring her happiness. With this time, she might as well go to the academy to work overtime, or read two more books.

The situation in their family is complicated because the parents are so eccentric, but it's also simple because Qu's father and Qu's mother are people who can see through at a glance. Although they are vicious and ignorant, they have very low abilities. At least they are now under her control.

But getting married is different. There are too many newborn families involved, in-laws, uncles, sisters-in-law, sisters-in-law, and other eight aunts and seven aunts. They may not be as easy to control as her parents.

That's why she won't take the initiative to seek guilt.

Qu Weizhen relaxed on the back of the chair and said: "Unless I can meet a person who has no father or mother, is physically and mentally healthy, has outstanding literary talent and good character, unless I will not marry, oh, there is another prerequisite, he must also please me."

Qu Jingxi raised her forehead, "Does Mistress not care about you?"

"The teacher is very open-minded. She said that I am an adult, and I will choose who to marry." Qu Weizhen glanced at him triumphantly and asked, "Why, sir, did you marry me?"

Qu Jingxi shook her head, "How could Mister do such a boring thing?"

Qu Weizhen thought about it, and asked with her chin propped up, "Then no one told you about marriage? Otherwise, why did you think of my marriage?"

Qu Jingxi blushed, stood up and said, "Isn't it because you are getting old, even the fourth sister is married, I am afraid you won't remember it, so I remind you."

Qu Weizhen pursed her lips, waved her hand and said, "If someone tells you that you dislike an old girl in our family, you can tell the other party that we can live separately in the future, and you don't need to take care of me until the end of my life."

"Third Sister!" Qu Jingxi called out in disapproval.

Qu Weizhen smiled and said nothing. If she wanted a child in the future, she would go to Yushantang to hold one. Every year there are a lot of orphans taken in there. When the time comes, she will apply for a female household and adopt another child. It will be fine if she can restrain her when she dies.

If she dislikes the trouble of raising a child, she will just hand over the money to others and arrange her funeral before she dies.

If you die unexpectedly, you don't have to worry about it. After death, it's just a cup of loess. If you can't be happy while alive, what's the use of being safe after death? She's unconscious, isn't she?

Qu Weizhen can think about it, and Qu Jingxi also understands her. After all, they are siblings who grew up together and studied together. If anyone in this world knows the third sister best, it must be Qu Jingxi. But Qu's father and Qu's mother couldn't understand.

At first they were afraid that Qu Weizhen would leave the family without a source of livelihood, but after their son got married and had a grandson, the daughter-in-law brought a large sum of dowry, and even his son passed the Jinshi examination and became an official, Qu Weizhen still did not go out.

But now she is an old girl of twenty-eight.

Only then did Qu's father and Qu's mother get worried, and began to look around to propose marriage to her, so Qu Weizhen quietly walked to the yamen with Qu Jing, and began to handle the female household.

When the father of the song and the mother of the song know that it is time for them to sign the letter.

After so many years, the two of them battled wits and bravery with her and developed some feelings. Although there were various dissatisfaction and abuse, the two of them still pressed their fingerprints on it, which was regarded as agreeing to Qu Weizhen's establishment of a female household.

Qu Weizhen was not very grateful for their superficial relationship. If she really loved her, she wouldn't wait until her younger brother was admitted to Jinshi and became an official to realize that she was not married.

She put away her new household registration and asked Qu Jingxi, "Will you move out, or should I move out?"

Qu Jingxi looked at her speechlessly and said, "Is that to cut the house in half and build a wall in the middle?"

Qu Weizhen shrugged and said, "I don't care."

"You'd better live honestly, give your parents two taels of silver every month, and make sure they treat you like a young lady."

Qu Weizhen thought so too, after all, he has lived here for many years, and couldn't find a suitable house for a while, so it's better to live here.

The house was quietly bought by the siblings many years ago. Except for the sister-in-law, Qu's father and Qu's mother didn't know that the house belonged to them, thinking it was rented.

So when Qu Weizhen approached and said that she was willing to give them two taels of silver every month, and would continue to live here, but they had to pay for food and lodging, Qu's father and Qu's mother happily agreed without even thinking about it.

Take the two taels of silver she gave and hide it.

Huang Qin was speechless for a while, looked at Sanguzi silently for a while, and finally turned his head away as if he didn't see it.

The in-laws are still as easy to deceive as ever, which is barely a good thing.

When she first married, she was full of sweetness, because her husband was not only good-looking, but also had a good literary talent and good character, but when she saw her in-laws, a thunderbolt hit her head.

She knew that the Qu family was poor before, and she was ready to face the poor in-laws, but she didn't expect them to be like that.

After serving tea to her parents-in-law, the mother-in-law hinted that she would take out the dowry and hand it over to them for safekeeping. The family is not rich, and as a daughter-in-law, she should take care of the housework. It is best to dismiss those maids and mothers-in-law, otherwise the food alone will be enough for them to feel distressed.

At that time, Huangqin's heart was broken. The Qu family was poor before, but how could they be poor now?

Although the third aunt and her husband don't know how to do business, they also have two shops in the capital. They can earn a hundred taels of silver every month. It's impossible to be rich, but it's no problem to support their own expenses.

When they got married, Qu Jingxi reported to her parents that the two shops were owned by their siblings, so in fact only one shop belonged to Qu Jingxi.

In addition to the shop, their siblings also bought two small villages in the north, which are not big, but the annual income is still enough for the family to eat. How did the in-laws say that the Qu family only has a few acres of land in their hometown, and the annual rent is not enough for a month's food?
