Chapter 289 Her father looks quite honest
"Then let Aunt Qu and Sister Qingshu come to live in the village. What will they eat, drink, and cook?" He Changqing asked.
Chu Ang frowned and said, "They buy rice in the county, and they can buy it in the village too. As for what to do, I earn money and can support them."
"Brother Changqing, you don't know. If it weren't for Aunt Qu, I would have died on the roadside long ago." Chu Ang's saliva flew everywhere. He Changqing quickly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Chu Ang, have you ever thought about whether the Qu family is willing?"
He Changqing didn't know how many times he had heard about the Qu family's kindness to Chu Ang. Chu Ang not only talked about it, but also put it into practice. However, it was not easy for the Qu family to support a scholar. Their lives had improved a lot because of Chu Ang. If they had to rely on Chu Ang for support in the future, the Qu family would probably not agree.
He Changqing had met the Qu family and they were not the type to plot against Chu Ang.
"This..." Chu Ang scratched his hair, sat down beside him and said, "Brother Changqing, what do you say we should do? I want to build a house with the money I have, but I don't want to buy the old house."
Chu Ang wanted to buy it last year, but now, Chu Ang doesn’t want to buy it anymore.
The owner of the house he used to live in saw that he wanted to buy it, and since he was making money, he raised the price very high. Chu Ang got angry no matter how he thought about it!
His money didn't come from the wind, it was earned with his life. Why should the landlord treat him as a sucker?
"Do you really want the Qu family to live here?" He Changqing asked.
"Of course, Qingshu is going to take the exam for the scholar. He will be gone for several months. If he passes the exam, will he have to take the exam for the Juren? Then he will have to go to Shengjing. In this case, he will definitely be away from home for a long time."
Chu Ang thought clearly and said, "I'm worried about Aunt Qu and Miaomiao living there."
"Brother Changqing, how about you think of a solution for me?" Chu Ang looked at He Changqing. Usually, He Changqing had a lot of ideas.
"Don't you want to settle down? Then build a house first." He Changqing looked at him and said, "You will get married in the future."
"Well, what if Auntie doesn't come?" Chu Ang asked her what He Changqing had just asked her.
He Changqing glanced at him and said, "You'll be going out soon, so why don't you just ask them to help you look after the house?"
"Will this work?" Chu Ang hesitated.
"Do you still want to settle down? I have to go into the mountains to hunt." He Changqing picked up the knife and wanted to go to the mountain, but was grabbed by Chu Ang.

"Miss Third is as beautiful as Miss Xiao." Lei Yan looked at Xiao Tingwu, his eyes lighting up. "As expected of someone from Shengjing, this girl is so pretty. Look at her face, it's like a peeled egg."
Lei Yan is always so sweet when he praises others.
Xiao Tingwu's face turned red due to the praise. Her originally fair skin now turned as red as the clouds in the sky. She looked at Xiao Jiuyue for help.
Xiao Jiuyue smiled and said, "My sister is shy. If you keep praising her, she'll be shy and run away soon."
"Miss Xiao, everything I said is true." Lei Yan said seriously.
Xiao Jiuyue cleared her throat and said, "Tingwu, have you brought all the paper flowers, velvet flowers, and silk flowers you made? Lei Yan runs a grocery store. Her store not only sells in the county, but also in every village. If it's suitable, you can cooperate with Lei Yan on the paper flowers and velvet flowers you make."
"I brought them all." Xiao Tingwu's clear voice rang out. She took out the basket next to her and lifted the cloth, revealing beautiful paper flower headdresses and velvet flower headdresses.
Xiao Tingwu picked up a ribbon, and those beautiful tongcao flower headdresses seemed to grow on the ribbon, quietly blooming their beauty.
"Is this really tongcao flower?" Lei Yan rushed forward in disbelief. She knew tongcao flower, which was everywhere in the mountains, but the hairpin made of tongcao flower in front of her was really beautiful.
"This is made of paper flowers, and it's made very small on purpose." Xiao Tingwu said this with some pride in her voice. She really likes making these things. Watching the flowers of various shapes take shape under her hands, she feels a great sense of accomplishment.
"Good, it's really beautiful!" Lei Yan praised, and said, "Is this made of velvet flowers? This velvet flower seems to be different from the ones I've seen before, more delicate, small and lifelike."
Lei Yan saw each of these hair ornaments very clearly. Xiao Tingwu said, "It's just that the method has been improved a bit." Why was she so happy when someone praised her work?
"Miss Xiao, I think if I sell these, I'll definitely make money." Lei Yan finished speaking and looked up at Xiao Jiuyue. Seeing her half-smile, Lei Yan touched his nose embarrassedly and said, "I forgot. These were sold in the embroidery workshop before. Miss Xiao, can I go in and sell some at the grocery store?"
"I know the price, but girls love beauty, and it's almost the New Year, so they will definitely sell well." In order to get these headdresses made of paper flowers, velvet flowers and silk flowers, Lei Yan almost drooled!
Girls love beauty. Even she, who is called a tomboy by others, loves beauty, let alone ordinary girls. She said, "Many poor families can't afford beautiful gold and silver jewelry, but these paper flowers and velvet flowers are exquisitely made and much more beautiful than wooden hairpins and laces."
…
"Qingshu, what do you mean by not commenting without knowing the full story?" Chu Ang found Qu Qingshu as soon as he returned to the Qu family.
Qu Qingshu paused for a moment before saying, "What I mean is, if you don't understand the full picture of the matter, don't make random comments."
"Miss Xiao, are you giving me a heads up?" Chu Ang muttered to himself, "But what I saw was true."
"Miss Xiao?" Qu Qingshu immediately asked Chu Ang what was going on when he heard this. After listening to Chu Ang's entire account, Qu Qingshu said, "Chu Ang, is what you saw really true? Or is there something else going on?"
"Don't you always say that the county magistrate only listens to the one-sided opinions of the rich and doesn't listen to the words of the poor people at all?" Qu Qingshu looked at him and asked, "Do you know why this Miss Lei attacked her own father? And why didn't she give him the money?"
"No matter what, you can't hit your own father." Chu Ang answered without thinking.
"What if her father is like Niu Laoer?" Qu Qingshu asked.
When Chu Ang heard this, his eyebrows raised so high that they could pinch a mosquito to death. He said, "Her father looks quite honest, unlike Niu Laoer."
"Which Lei family?" Aunt Qu had just come back from washing clothes. When she heard Chu Ang chattering about the Lei family, Aunt Qu immediately understood: "No wonder Miss Xiao said that about you. Miss Lei's father is better off dead."
"Auntie, no way? I think he's fine." Chu Ang looked at Aunt Qu in shock. Is this still the Aunt Qu who never says anything bad about others?
Aunt Qu looked at him with a complicated expression: "Xiao Ang, Miss Lei's family affairs are quite famous. You can go to Baishu Street and ask around and you will know."
