But not long after, the family spent three thousand to buy a temporary worker for the fourth child.
The two villages were only a short distance apart, and there were relatives in each village, so someone must have revealed this to her.
"I am too ashamed to see her. In her heart, I may be a useless loser. I know her. If she wasn't in urgent need of money, or if she wasn't really willing to live with me, she wouldn't come to me." Qiao Youfu said in a low voice with bitterness.
Qiao Jiangxin didn't know how to comfort her uncle.
I could only curse Qiao Jiuwang and Lei Honghua, those two old fools, in my heart.
"Uncle, I remember you said before that you met Aunt Qin on the way to town?"
Qiao Youfu nodded and opened his mouth to reveal an imperceptible smile.
"Well, she was carrying a load of grain and holding a child in her hand to go to the town to pay the grain tax.
Your father and I happened to be pushing a cart to deliver grain, and when we saw that she really couldn't carry the weight, we piled her two bags of grain on our cart.
She thanked us all the way, and kept saying, "Thank you, big brother, thank you, big brother." She also asked where your father and I came from and what our names were. ”
Qiao Youfu was talking about Qin Xue, while Qin Xue was also being pulled aside and persuaded by a woman over at Xujiadong.
"Xue, I know your grandmother is a good person. You have taken care of Shunwen for so many years, and the child has grown up now. You have done him justice.
I know you don't like to hear these words, but I'm doing this for your own good.
You are still young. You can't live like this for the rest of your life. You still have a long time to live. It would be so hard to live without someone who understands you and cares about you. ”
Qin Xue replied, "Mom, I have pillars and my parents here, so why is it so deserted?"
The woman retorted, "Yes, you have children and elderly people around you now, so you don't feel lonely. But when your children grow up and have their own families, and your elderly people are gone, what will you do when you are all alone?"
Your age is the most awkward one, you are neither up nor down, you have to hurry up and find someone, and when you find someone in the future, you have to have a child with them, otherwise how can you two live together? ”
Qin Xue pulled the corner of her mouth, "Just now you said that my waist is too thin, and now you complain that my waist is too big."
The woman raised her index fingers on both hands and slammed them. "A woman's maternity time is limited. In another two months, you will be thirty-four or thirty-five. Even if everything goes well, you will be thirty-five when you get pregnant, and it will take another ten months to conceive. If there is a delay in the meantime, you will be ten years old when you are ten and the child is still not even ten.
What's more, if you don't take good care of yourself when you are older, it will be bad for your health and you will not have enough energy.
So if you have that plan, you still have to seize the time. ”
Seeing that her daughter did not speak, the woman advised again, "Look at you, you have high demands. You are still thinking about your first child, you want a dowry, you don't want to be a stepmother, you are married yourself, but you want to find a first marriage, and you also require the man to be diligent, honest and capable.
If you had such a good family, why would you stay until now? You should have gotten married long ago. So aren't you making things difficult for me by proposing those conditions? ”
Qin Xue sighed, "Mom, I already have a partner, and if he already has a child, we will have to give birth to our own child after we get married. How messy is that?
Moreover, I know very well how difficult it is to be a stepmother. I cannot treat everyone equally, so I am partial to my own child. I also don't want my own child to suffer because of other people's children.
So if I become a stepmother, I am destined to be a bad stepmother.
Since I already know that I can't do it well, why should I still be a stepmother? ”
The woman was silent for a moment, her mood darkening. "After all, you're still blaming me."
