After dinner, Qian's mother and her friends washed up in the backyard and went straight back to the front yard to sleep.
Before leaving, we agreed that Zheng Ran and the others would come over tomorrow to help clean the kitchen.
Qian Xingshan silently accompanied his mother and daughter-in-law and returned to the front yard.
Before returning to her room, looking at her sullen son, Qian's mother could more or less guess what he was thinking. He must still be angry with Liu Hongya.
Qian's mother also blamed Liu Hongya a little in her heart, but now that things had happened, it would be useless to say more to her. Judging from her attitude in the afternoon, she should have known that she was wrong.
After thinking about it, Qian's mother specifically told her son, "Xingshan, Hongya, go back and have a good rest. Hongya was scared just now. Xingshan, comfort her."
She was helpless against her daughter-in-law.
Qian Xingshan responded listlessly and took Liu Hongya back to their own room.
Fortunately, in the fire tonight, only part of the kitchen was burned, and the sleeping room was fine. There was only a faint smell of smoke in the air.
After returning to the room, Qian Xingshan suppressed his dissatisfaction because of his mother and sister's instructions, and became more friendly towards Liu Hongya.
"Hongya, it's late, let's go to bed."
After saying that, Qian Xingshan took off his coat and prepared to go to bed.
In fact, Qian Xingshan was in a bad mood today because Dong Mingshan had found him in the afternoon and told him that the Dong family was going to leave Yongning Prefecture soon.
As for the businesses in the city, they will close down most of them, and the remaining ones will be handed over to a few shopkeepers. After they have dealt with the inventory, they will all be closed.
Qian Xingshan could follow the shopkeeper and learn until all the shops were closed.
When he heard the news, Qian Xingshan felt disappointed.
I only have a few months at most, and I will have nothing to do and my family will have no income.
Qian Xingshan knew that Wang Tai had left a banknote for his mother when he left, but he had spent more than 400 taels on his marriage, so his mother only had more than 500 taels of silver left at most.
Qian Chunhua secretly gave Qian's mother one thousand taels of silver. Qian's mother did not tell her son, and Qian Chunhua did not tell anyone either.
When Qian Xingshan knew that he would not be able to find a job, he felt extremely anxious.
When I got home, I happened to see a fire in the kitchen.
At that time, Zheng Ran and Zheng Lin rushed into the kitchen to put out the fire. Zheng Hua, Zheng Qin, and even the youngest child, Xiao Wu, were busy fetching water.
Liu Hongya just stood outside in a daze, motionless except for an anxious expression.
Later, when he learned the cause of the fire in the kitchen, his dissatisfaction with Liu Hongya reached its peak.
However, due to the mediation of his sister and mother, he did not vent his anger.
Forget it, just think of it as marrying a loser. It's my fault for being so stupid in the first place.
Even Qingfeng knew that one should do things within one's ability, but he foolishly rushed forward to save people, giving them the opportunity to blackmail him and also implicated his mother and sister, forcing them to separate.
As if she didn't notice Qian Xingshan's depressed mood, Liu Hongya muttered unhappily behind him, "Your sister is such a spendthrift. She bought four servants even though her husband is in such a bad condition.
It would have been fine if he had just bought it, but he actually let the servants eat and drink with the master."
After finishing speaking, Liu Hongya looked at Qian Xingshan. Seeing that he did not respond, she stretched out her hand and pinched his waist, "I'm talking to you, do you hear me?"
Qian Xingshan's face turned pale, and he looked straight at Liu Hongya, "I heard it, my sister's family affairs are none of your business."
Liu Hongya didn't expect that Qian Xingshan not only did not praise her words and stand on her side, but instead talked about her. She was immediately furious.
She even twisted his waist hard, "Why are you talking so rudely?"
Qian Xingshan twisted his neck and said, "Now you know, I am just a rough man, I have been a mud-legged person since I was a child."
Qian Xingshan's words made Liu Hongya so angry that she burst into tears.
She was satisfied with everything about marrying Qian Xingshan. They were of similar age and had suitable looks. Most importantly, she wouldn't have to be a concubine or live under the control of her mother-in-law. Qian's mother treated her better than her own mother.
Moreover, the Qian family was not stingy with her in terms of food, clothing and other expenses. Every time she went back to her parents' home, they would ask her to bring some gifts.
Although they were not expensive, these gifts were exactly what the Liu family needed in the event of a natural disaster.
