"Brother, why isn't Dad at home?" Tang Simeng was supported by Tang Ruixuan and walked slowly in the yard, basking in the sun.
She had just woken up and was still very weak. She started gasping for breath after taking only a few steps.
Tang Simeng was very confused when she didn't see Tang Shen at home, and couldn't help but ask Tang Ruixuan in a low voice.
Tang Ruixuan held Tang Simeng's hand and paused. After a moment of silence, he spoke, "Dad went out to make money. Mom said he might not be back for a while."
"Oh, when did Dad leave? How come I didn't know?" Tang Simeng frowned blankly.
She always felt like she had forgotten something, and many things were disconnected from reality.
"You passed away when you were sleeping in. Dad thought you were sick and needed a lot of money for medical treatment, so he went out to make money." Tang Ruixuan's eyes flashed.
It was his first time lying to his sister, and he was still a little uncomfortable.
However, Tang Simeng was simple-minded and never thought that Tang Ruixuan would lie to her, so she did not doubt it and believed it directly.
After walking with Tang Simeng for half an hour, Tang Ruixuan took her back into the house.
Qin Zijin was finishing up in the next room at this time.
Because Tang Shen had an accident suddenly, the old carpenter's quilt had not been returned to him yet.
The cotton-padded jackets for Tang Simeng and Tang Ruixuan were not even brought out.
There was also a piece of cut material next to it, which was the new clothes Qin Zijin planned to make for Tang Shen.
After finishing the cotton-padded jackets for Tang Ruixuan and Tang Simeng, seeing that it was getting late, Qin Zijin first gave the quilt to the old carpenter.
It was her first time to visit the old carpenter's house.
The old carpenter's house was a wooden house. Outsiders couldn't see the details, but Qin Zijin knew at a glance that not a single nail was used in the house. It was all built with pure carpentry skills.
This technique was not lost in later generations, but it was very difficult to learn.
Qin Zijin couldn't help but feel a little curious about the old carpenter who lived here and didn't interact with others.
But it's just curiosity.
"Hello, is anyone home?" Standing outside the door, he shouted inside.
Soon the closed door opened.
A white-haired old man walked out of the house.
The old man looked to be in his early sixties, but he was still in good health and looked healthy.
He came out and glanced at Qin Zijin, his eyes falling on the quilt she was holding, then walked to the door and opened it for her: "Just put your things down, you can leave."
Looking at his cold expression, he really doesn't want to communicate with Qin Zijin at all.
Qin Zijin carried the quilt in and put it at the door. He glanced around the yard and saw a lot of half-made things scattered on the ground.
She didn't ask any more questions, just said hello and left.
After watching Qin Zijin leave, the old carpenter turned around and walked back into the house. When he entered, he took the quilt that was placed at the door with him.
"Qin Zhiqing, why are you out today?" Qin Zijin was walking on the way home. When she met people from the village, they couldn't help but show concern for her.
Qin Zijin responded one by one.
When I got to the door, I found that Aunt Huazhi had come again.
Still wearing a festive red cotton-padded jacket, he stood at the door, seeming a little impatient.
Qin Zijin frowned and walked over.
When Aunt Huazhi saw her come back, she immediately beamed, waved her handkerchief, and said with a smile, "Oh, Qin Zhiqing, you're back? It's been so hard waiting for you."
"Is there something?" Qin Zijin interrupted her coldly.
Aunt Huazhi could see that Qin Zijin didn't like her, so she just smiled awkwardly and got straight to the point: "Of course something happened. Last time I said I wanted to find you a marriage, but you disagreed. This time, I've found you a good match. The other party has never been married, and their family is very rich. It's just that their health is not good, so they may not be able to have children. But it just so happens that you have two children, so they are willing to accept you. You..."
"I said, I won't consider this matter, you can go." Qin Zijin's face darkened and he interrupted Aunt Huazhi in a bad mood.
Aunt Huazhi frowned immediately, a little unhappy: "You rejected this marriage without even asking whose family it is?"
"No matter who it is, I won't agree." Qin Zijin walked to the door and prepared to open it.
"Oh, he's a wealthy man in town, and his family is incredibly wealthy. If you don't agree, aren't you afraid they'll come after you? They're willing to give you a three thousand yuan betrothal gift. What can't you do with that money?"
"Qin Zhiqing, you're a sensible person. You should know that in this world, money is the most important thing. You said your husband died, and you're left alone with two children. How hard must life be?"
"If I were you, I wouldn't be so reserved any longer. I'd take advantage of this guy's sincerity and marry him right away. He's even willing to raise your child. To be honest, I've been a matchmaker for so many years, and I've never seen such a generous and kind family. You're truly blessed."
After being repeatedly rejected by Qin Zijin and having her own interests affected, Aunt Huazhi's attitude was not as polite as before.
Qin Zijin curled the corners of her lips and looked at Aunt Huazhi with a smile: "Since you are so envious, why don't you marry her yourself? Didn't your husband die and you still have a child?"
"Oh, I remember now. Your child doesn't seem to be very intelligent."
"Qin Zijin! What nonsense are you talking about here! Who has low intelligence? I think you are the one with low intelligence! You give up such a good marriage opportunity! Your brain must have been hit by a door!" Aunt Huazhi cares about her children the most, and Qin Zijin's words immediately touched her heart.
She immediately got furious and started cursing at Qin Zijin.
“Crash…”
Qin Zijin didn't refute. The door of Miao Cuicui's house suddenly opened, and a basin of water poured out from inside, all of it splashing on Aunt Huazhi without leaving a drop.
"Ouch! What are you doing?" Aunt Huazhi jumped up.
It was winter, and the water was freezing cold, and it was dirty. When a basin of water was poured over her, Aunt Huazhi felt sour, smelly, and cold all over her body.
"Oh, why is there someone outside the door? I thought it was a mad dog barking. Are you okay?" Miao Cuicui looked frightened and screamed at Aunt Huazhi.
Aunt Huazhi was so angry that her heart ached, but she had no way to deal with Miao Cuicui. Seeing that Qin Zijin didn't give her any room for negotiation, she could only blame herself for her bad luck and left angrily, holding her chest.
Qin Zijin narrowed his eyes.
This matchmaker comes too often.
And according to what she said, the family is so well-off, how could no one be willing to marry their daughter to them?
I'm afraid there's something strange going on here.
