There are many disputes in front of a widow. If a woman with two children wants to gain a foothold, she must be aggressive, but sometimes being aggressive is not enough. Without a man or a backer, she is bound to be bullied.

In addition, when opening a shop, you must pay attention to kindness and wealth, so Widow Qin often gives people a meek and kind appearance. Poor people only have enough life to fight for once, and she will not break her face unless it is absolutely necessary.

But today's Widow Qin is obviously different from before. She seems to have more reliance on her. Although she doesn't say it explicitly, Li Qingyou can feel it.

Suddenly I remembered what people were talking about before, "The second girl of the Qin family is not upright." "She has climbed to a high branch, and she can't look down on the boy from the Zhang family."

This makes sense. After all, Qin Xiu likes Zhang Tieniu, and she insisted on getting engaged even though she knew Zhang Tieniu didn't have his heart for her. Now she suddenly regrets the engagement because she has a better choice.

It's not that she's loyal enough, it's just that the weight of betrayal is not big enough. Now it seems that she has found enough weight.

Of course, these are just market rumors, and Li Qingyou is not interested, but...

"If you have the ability, just let the horse come over. I'll be waiting for you at any time." Li Qingyou said the last words, led the donkey and separated from the crowd and went home.

When Xiaoshan Niang heard that Li Qingyou was back, she was standing at the gate looking out. She saw her coming from a distance, and hurriedly took a few steps to welcome her out, "Oh, why have I left here these days?

, I'm just afraid that something will happen again... Bah, bah, bah, what nonsense am I talking about? Nothing will happen."

Li Qingyou laughed and followed Xiaoshan Niang into the yard.

"Adi?" Xiao Shanniang looked behind her, but she didn't see Adi.

Li Qingyou was busy talking about having fun.

"This kid has no honesty at all, and he doesn't know who he is following." Xiaoshan Niang said as she took the reins and helped Li Qingyou unload the donkey.

The yard was neatly tidied, and the chickens and pigs seemed to be fatter than when Li Qingyou left. They started to flutter when someone came.

Xiaoshan Niang followed Li Qingyou into the house, "Tell me, I didn't know you would be back now. You must be hungry. I'll cook right now."

Li Qingyou was indeed hungry, not only hungry but also thirsty. He picked up the teapot and drank a large bowl to feel relieved.

"Don't be busy, let's eat together later in the evening." Li Qingyou grabbed the little mountain girl who was going to the kitchen, "I brought back a lot of snacks, so I'll fill my stomach first."

As he spoke, he took out two packages of snacks, opened one of them for eating, and pushed the other package and fine cotton cloth to Xiaoshan Niang, "These are for you and Xiaoshan, there are nothing good. Go back and make two clothes."

Bar."

Xiaoshan Niang was talking about why she was such a heretic. She was holding the fine cotton cloth in her hand so much that she couldn't bear to put it down. She was chattering about what happened in recent days.

"We have sold tofu five times in total. When Xiaoshan was here, he could grind it. In the past few days, Zhang Yuanwai has been looking for him to work, but he has not sold any more." Xiaoshan's mother said and took out a pile of money. "These are the tofu for sale."

I made a lot of money, and Aunt Sun from next door came to me a few times. She didn’t buy it with any money, but exchanged it with beans..."

When she said this, Xiaoshan Niang was a little embarrassed, feeling that there was not enough to sell. When Li Qingyou was at home, she made tofu and sold it every day.

Li Qingyou was very embarrassed. The donkey was not at home, so someone had to grind it. A stone grinder weighing dozens of kilograms was no joke.

"You take the money back. You have been busy looking after my house these days. You have left it behind at home..."

Before Li Qingyou could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiaoshan Niang, "That's not possible. Besides, I'm not just looking after you. I just come over and take care of you morning and night, and my family's work is not delayed."

Li Qingyou wanted to say something more, but Xiaoshan Niang deliberately said with a tigerish face: "Auntie won't be happy if you keep doing this. Aren't you treating me like an outsider?"

"Okay, then I won't say anything." Li Qingyou put all the money away.

Zhao Xiaoshan's family is in a difficult situation. Although Zhao Xiaoshan can now occasionally earn some money, the mother and son are still living in poverty, barely able to make ends meet.

Li Qingyou thought that preparations for the racecourse would be coming soon, and he and his wife could be asked to help with some work, but he did not say anything about it for the time being.

She still had to discuss the racecourse matters with Mr. Shen. The specific venue, foals and many other things needed to be discussed. It was a bit early to say this, so she had better wait until it was decided.

The two chatted for a while. Xiaoshan Niang saw the fatigue on Li Qingyou's face and asked her to take a nap first. "I just happened to go home and take a look. I'll come back later."

Li Qingyou was indeed exhausted. She had been away for more than ten days. Although food and accommodation were well arranged and she didn't have to spend any money on her own, she was not at home after all.

I didn't think before that I would be able to relax immediately after returning home. All the fatigue from the journey showed up. After seeing Xiaoshan Niang off, she fell down on the kang and fell asleep.

I slept until it was almost dark before I woke up. It was because I heard voices, I lifted the quilt and got down from the kang, and then I realized that Adi was back, and with him was Zhao Xiaoshan, who was busy in the kitchen. The little mountain girl cooking.

"I woke you up." Zhao Xiaoshan scratched his head in embarrassment.

Li Qingyou hurriedly said it was okay.

Xiaoshan Niang happened to greet Zhao Xiaoshan to serve the dishes. She turned around and saw Li Qingyou and said: "I just woke up. Wash your face quickly and feel refreshed to eat. Wait until you are full before going to bed."

Zhao Xiaoshan and his brother went into the kitchen to help bring out the food. Li Qingyou also poured a basin of water and washed her face, finally sobering up completely.

The dinner was quite sumptuous, including crispy eggplant box, beans and potato stew, stir-fried soybean sprouts with meat, mapo tofu, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried peanuts, and melon slice soup. The staple food was fried white flour pancakes.

The meat was specially bought by Xiaoshan Niang, and the vegetables were all picked in the Zhao family's yard.

In the past, when the Li family was alive, the front and back yards were full of vegetables. Li Qingyou couldn't grow them well, so the vegetables in the yard were in a mess. In addition, the chickens in the chicken coop ran out from time to time, and the vegetable garden was ruined. It was such a mess, Xiaoshan Niang felt heartbroken when she saw it.

"I won't make the trip this year. I'll wait until next year. I'll help you take care of the garden. What's the point of not eating vegetables every day?" Xiaoshan Niang felt pity when she mentioned this, "There's also that chicken coop, Xiaoshan. If I have time to tidy up the chicken coop one day, this garden will be in trouble."

Zhao Xiaoshan responded, "I'll come and fix it tomorrow. I took a look two days ago. The chicken coop door is a little loose. Just find two pieces of wood and nail it on."

After dinner, it was completely dark. Zhao Xiaoshan and his son stayed for a while and then went back. Li Qingyou and Adi took a bath and lay on the kang.
