Qinghuan was very moved after hearing her sister's words. She knew that she was doing it for her own good and began to ponder.
Although she had decided to move out and start her own business, she didn't want to burden her elder sister.
But her current household registration is with the Han family, so she can only go back there. After what happened to the Han family, she doesn't know how the villagers there will view her, and she is very uneasy.
She also knew that the widows who lived alone in the village had a very hard life. The food they earned with work points was often stolen if they were not careful. From time to time, there were also scoundrels who knocked on their doors at night and teased them. They dared not speak out when they were bullied for fear of retaliation.
Living alone is not as simple as it sounds. She is also scared when she thinks about it, but she has no better choice and no other place to go.
If he is really a good man as her sister said, she can actually accept it. She can work, endure hardships, and is not afraid of poverty or tiredness. As long as that person is willing to live a good life and does not beat or scold her, she thinks it is a good life.
After experiencing all these hardships, she never thought about being cherished and pampered by others, and the ordinary life of ordinary people was a good life that she could never reach.
"Sister, I agree. I know what you mean. This may be my only way out. I just want to meet him and talk to him before making a decision.
I'm not afraid of poverty or hardship, I'm just afraid of being like Han Guodong."
This is a lifelong psychological trauma that she will never be able to shake off. Even now at night, she still dreams of being hung up and beaten by the Han family, crying and shouting but no one comes to save her.
"That's for sure. Big Sister will also help you check. Only when she makes sure that the person is okay will she hand you over to him. If not, then we'll wait and see. There's no rush. One day, Big Sister will definitely find a good family for you and won't let you live the same life as before.
"Okay, can you settle down now? Don't think about living on your own. You're so soft-hearted, and I'm really worried you'll get hurt. It'll be too late to regret it then." Li Qingyun wiped her tears.
"Okay, I'll listen to you, sister. You won't harm me." Qinghuan burst into laughter.
"I've asked someone to send a message to Qingyue, telling her what's going on here. I'll ask her to go back to the village when she's free and have her fingerprints pressed on the letter of severance. She'll also come to Gujialing when the time comes. We can get together and discuss this matter in detail then."
"OK."
While the two sisters were chatting, Gu Tingzhou in the east room was also "interrogating" Dabao.
"Gu Yanli, tell the truth. What happened today? You don't want to go tomorrow."
Dabao was a little afraid of his father's eyes, but he couldn't resist and could only confess honestly: "Dad, my aunt must have been upset by something. She used to be very nice and didn't tell us, but it's okay.
Today she seemed to be furious. The second baby cried twice, and she kept making a fuss, asking him to shut up and saying it was too noisy, and asked me to take him out. I wanted to take the second baby home at that time, but the door was locked and I didn't have the key to the house.
Later at noon, she ate a lot of the steamed buns our mother gave her. She made four big steamed buns by herself. After eating them, she said they were hard and the egg sauce was not tasty.
Don't tell my mom. With her temper, she might scold her. She's pregnant. Don't let anything happen to her. She really deserves to be scolded. I don't like to hear those words.
I won’t go there tomorrow anyway, so Mom made all these delicious dishes for her, so it’s not cheap.”
Dabao didn't know what was going on between the two families. When they quarreled, he and Dani were at home. When they got home, they never talked about it in front of the children. Adults' affairs should not involve children.
Dabao was indeed mad at his aunt today. He felt sorry for his younger brother, but he also felt sorry for his family's food.
"Okay, I get it. Dabao did the right thing. If she doesn't like me, I'll just ignore her.
Go take a shower and go to bed. I'll tell your mom that we won't be going to the old house tomorrow."
Gu Tingzhou confirmed the child's idea. He knew that his sister was angry with the child because of their previous quarrel. She was still arguing with the child at her age. He was very disappointed with his sister.
In fact, Gu Tinghua didn't want to offend Gu Tingzhou. She still thought that her second brother would be able to help her in the future. However, as soon as she saw the faces of the two children, she thought of Li Qingyun. She felt that whatever the children did was against her.
When Erbao cried, she felt very upset. Li Qingyun was against her, and the little one in her family didn't let her have a good time either, so she couldn't help but lose her temper.
When Li Qingyun came back from the west room, the two children had already gone to bed. Gu Tingzhou told her about Dabao. Although the children didn't want to tell, he didn't want to hide it from Li Qingyun, and Li Qingyun was not an impulsive person.
This is quite frustrating, but it's not a big deal. First, the child was not hit, and second, no one was scolding. It's just that the adults dislike the child, so it's not easy to go to their house and argue. Just stay away from them in the future.
Although Gu Tingzhou knew his sister's future fate and wanted to help change it, the person involved refused to cooperate, so he gave up the idea.
If I persuade her to divorce, will her life be better with her temper? If her life gets worse, she will blame him even more. It's better to let nature take its course and let her fate take its course.
Especially what happened today made him very disappointed. No matter how good the relationship between sisters was when they were young, they can never go back to the past when they grow up and have their own families.
After the two of them had discussed it, they lay down and fell asleep. They were tired after a day and would be busy tomorrow.
The next day, Li Qingyun did not send the child over. He only told Gu's father and mother that Dabao wanted to stay at home and he could take care of Erbao.
It is common for four or five-year-old children in the village to take care of younger ones. It is not surprising and there is nothing to say about it.
At the old house, she deliberately didn't send anything today. She only brought lunch for the people going up the mountain, and left some lunch for Dabao.
Since Gu Tinghua dislikes the cooking, he won't indulge her. If she likes the cooking, then he can cook it himself.
I just feel a little sorry for Da Ni and Er Ni, but she also gave the two children fruit candies and snacks yesterday, which was very thoughtful.
For two consecutive days, the group cut a total of fifty carts of tripods, and divided them into five carts per person.
There were more people at the old house, so they were allocated twenty carts. Li Qingyun's family had Qinghuan as their laborer, so with three people, they were allocated fifteen carts. Cheng Jie and Qiuju's family were allocated ten carts, and two oxen were allocated five carts.
You don’t have to worry about firewood for heating the kang this winter. The winters in the north are very cold, and you will really freeze to death without firewood for heating the kang.
Each family just needs to prepare some bush firewood for daily cooking, which is enough.
Li Qingyun's family already had enough firewood. Erniu had brought a lot of it before, so there was no need to prepare more.
At this point, preparations for winter are almost complete, and we just have to wait until the autumn harvest to buy some food from the village.
It is almost time for autumn harvest, the busiest time in the village.
