Husband and Father Youwei

Chapter 42 Asking Tu Xinmei

"...The Qiu family?" Tu Xinmei frowned and pondered for a moment after hearing Tu Lin's reason for coming, and then said: "Recently, the Qiu family is indeed a little bit bad, but to be serious, it's not that something happened to the Qiu family..."

Then , Under Tu Xinmei's explanation, Tu Lin knew why Tu Xinmei said that there was something wrong with the Qiu family, but it was not because something happened to the Qiu family, because it was not the Qiu family that had the accident, but the Qiu family's son-in-law.

The Qiu family originally had two sons and a daughter, and the daughter was Qiu Cheng's biological sister, Qiu Lan. She married Songzhuang, a village fifteen miles away from Zhuxi Village, more than four years ago. Her husband's family name was Song, and it was Qiu Lan's husband, Song Dayong, who had the accident.

Although Song Dayong is a country man, there is nothing to do in the fields after winter. In order to earn more money to support his family, he was introduced by someone to find a job as a handyman and shopkeeper in a fur shop in the county.

Because I have to watch the store, I have to sleep in the store at night, and after closing every day, the shopkeeper will take all the leather materials in the store back and lock them in the warehouse. Song Dayong mainly looks at the warehouse, so he sleeps in The outer room of the wing room where the warehouse is located.

It was always good, but the weather suddenly turned cold a few days ago. He felt a little cold at night, so he lit a charcoal basin. After he fell asleep, sparks floated along the crack of the door and went to the next door to sleep with him. In the warehouse just across the door from his room, the leather goods stored in it were ignited.

When Song Dayong was woken up by the thick smoke and went to put out the fire, it was too late, and most of the leather goods in the warehouse had been burned.

Of course, the shopkeeper of the fur shop would not give up with Song Dayong. Seeing that half of the storeroom had been burned to ashes, the shopkeeper was so angry that he immediately wanted to report to the officials to punish Song Dayong, but after Song Dayong and the Song family pleaded In the end, he still didn't do too much. He just said that he can't report it, but he must compensate for his losses, including the burned leather, the warehouse that was also burned, and the business he delayed because of this time. In total, the Song family was required to compensate him two hundred and fifty taels of silver.

Because he was afraid that Song Dayong would run away, he locked Song Dayong in his store and asked the Song family to collect enough money to redeem him. The Song family had no choice but to go back and start trying to raise money so that Song Dayong would not suffer from prison.

But the Song family is just an ordinary family. Even if it is selling the house and land, plus the old man's coffin book and the daughter-in-law's dowry money, and borrowing all the relatives and friends that can be borrowed, it is only a hundred dollars in the end. More than fifty taels, which is nearly a hundred taels short of what the shopkeeper of the fur shop asked for.

Her husband's family was desperate, and Qiu Lan had no choice but to go back to her natal family for help. As the Yue family, if something happened to the son-in-law and they were worried about their daughter, they couldn't stay out of it.

It's just that the Qiu family is not a wealthy family, and besides the current situation of the Song family, the money borrowed is basically never returned, so the amount that can be lent to Qiu Lan is really limited. The silver is still far from two hundred and fifty taels.

"...If the Song family can't get all the money together by then, the shopkeeper of the fur shop will probably send Song Dayong to an official. It's just pity for Qiu Lan. She is still so young and has no child yet. If Song Dayong She is really in prison, she has no one to rely on, so what will happen in the future." Qiu Lan only got married after Tu Xinmei married in Zhuxi Village, so Tu Xinmei is quite familiar with her, thinking of Qiu Lan who she met not long ago Lan had lost a lot of weight and looked haggard, so she couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Tu Lin had been quietly listening to Tu Xinmei's words. Now he thought about it and said, "It's just right for me to say that I have no children. If Song Dayong really wants to go to jail, then that Qiu Lan can just remarry. It's better than being a widow."

"Remarry?" Tu Xinmei looked a little surprised, as if she was surprised that Tu Lin said this suddenly, but after thinking about it, she couldn't help but nodded slightly and said: "This is a way. It may be difficult for ordinary women, just Her natal family may not agree, but Qiu Lan is the youngest in the family and the only girl. Her parents and two brothers have loved her since she was a child. Maybe Song Dayong will be really bad in the future. Qiu Lan endured hardship, her parents and brothers should also be willing to support Qiu Lan and let her leave the Song family. It's just..."

While talking, Tu Xinmei frowned again, shook her head and sighed, "It's just that Qiu Lan's reputation will be ruined. Something happened to her husband, so she abandoned him and remarried. It's understandable, but those mean people can't help but say Qiu Lan's ruthless and cold words. It's not easy for a woman to remarry, but if her reputation is bad, it will be even more difficult. And if she can't find a suitable family for a while, stay Now that she is in her natal family, her parents and brothers are willing to support her, but there are still sister-in-laws at home, so how can she not think about it. Alas, it is really rare." At this time, Tu Lin remembered that he was in the family not long ago

. Seeing the scene in front of Qiu's house, she asked Tu Xinmei, "Sister, Qiu Lan, Qiu Cheng's younger sister, is at Qiu's house right now?" "Yes, she came back yesterday and

said she fainted at her in-law's house. Yes. Her in-law's house is in chaos now, and no one can take care of her, so she sent a letter to Qiu's family and told her to take her back to her natal family to raise her first." Tu Xinmei nodded, and said: "Why, did you see someone? Tu Lin said: "

Yes, I saw it just now. I just came back from the county. As soon as I entered the village, I saw Ruan Tang coming out of Qiu's house. Qiu Cheng and a woman came out to see her off. There was a slight resemblance, so I thought they were probably Qiu Cheng's sisters or something."

"Has Ruan Tang gone to the Qiu family?" Tu Xinmei didn't want to hear Ruan Tang's name, but quickly said: "It's no wonder, the Qiu family Originally, they had a good relationship with the Ruan family, and when the Ruan family had an accident, they helped a lot, and Ruan Tang and Qiu Cheng were young children, and they had a good relationship with the other children of the Qiu family, especially Qiu Lan. Ruan Tang is treated like a younger sister, and Qiu Lan is more like a younger sister to Ruan Tang..."

Speaking of this, Tu Xinmei suddenly thought of something, subconsciously stopped talking, and at the same time looked at Tu Lin, her expression became a little bit It's complicated, as if you want to say something but can't say it.

But Tu Lin asked her directly: "How does Qiu Lan treat Ruan Tang?"

Tu Xinmei sighed inwardly, but when Tu Lin asked, she didn't want to hide or deceive Tu Lin, so she could only say, "Qiu Lan...she was interested in Ruan Tang. Back then, Ruan Tang's father passed away, his mother was sick, and the family still owed a lot. The debt is low, so Qiu Lan is willing to marry Ruan Tang. The Qiu family can't hold back Qiu Lan, and they are also optimistic about Ruan Tang, so they don't object to the two of them, but they don't want Ruan Tang, but they say they don't want to marry Qiu Lan. He said that he only regarded her as his younger sister, and that he was not worthy of Qiu Lan."

"Ruan Tang was very decisive. Qiu Cheng even fought with Ruan Tang, and the two of them almost broke up. It's not a secret. It's just that although Ruan Tang refused, Qiu Lan was very infatuated and expressed her willingness to wait for Ruan Tang and wait for him to change his mind, but what she finally waited for was the news that Ruan Tang chose to marry you."

" Ruan Tang got married, and Qiu Lan knew that there was no possibility for her and Ruan Tang, so she finally gave up and finally married someone else." After Tu Xinmei finished speaking,

Tu Lin remained silent for a long time, and his hands were already in place when Tu Xinmei said Qiu Lan's love for Ruan Tang. When Tang Youqing was in love, he had already clenched tightly.

After a long silence, Tu Lin said to Tu Xinmei: "Sister, do me a favor."

"What?" His eyes widened in shock, his face was full of shock and surprise, "A Lin, you, you are..."

But before Tu Xinmei finished speaking, Tu Lin stood up and said, "Sister, this matter I'm begging you, I'll explain the specific reason to you later, you just believe that I'm not impulsive or impulsive. I'll go home and get ready, and I'll come to you in the afternoon." After finishing speaking, Tu Lin was about to turn around and

leave In the Zhao family, Tu Xinmei stood up all of a sudden, and asked anxiously, "Does Ruan Tang know if you do this, and does he agree?" What Tu Lin planned to do was not a trivial

matter, but Tu Xinmei actually disagreed. Yes, but she also saw that Tu Lin wanted to go his own way, so she had to mention Ruan Tang, hoping to make Tu Lin feel a little bit more scrupulous.

Hearing Ruan Tang's name, Tu Lin really stopped in his tracks. He turned his head, but with a look on Tu Xinmei's face that he couldn't understand, he said: "I also thought of this matter temporarily, Ruan Tang... of course. I don't know, but whether Ruan Tang agrees or disagrees, I will not change my mind. For myself, for Ruan Tang, and even for our future, I must do this, otherwise I may regret it for the rest of my life."

"You and Ruan Tang? Aren't you and Ruan Tang on good terms? Why suddenly..." Tu Xinmei became more and more confused as she listened to it. She didn't understand what Tu Lin was going to say about the future between him and Ruan Tang. Something flashed in the middle of the scene, and she couldn't help showing a look of surprise, "A Lin, don't you and Ruan Tang, you haven't..." Tu

Xinmei always thought that Ruan Tang was still living with Tu Lin and Tu An, and moved to Ruan Tang. At home, they were willing to get along with Tu Lin and continue to live as husband and wife with Tu Lin, but judging by Tu Lin's expression at this time, could it be that he was thinking wrong?

Tu Lin did not answer Tu Xinmei, but in Tu Xinmei's eyes, his silence was tantamount to acquiescing. This made Tu Xinmei, who suddenly realized this fact, stunned on the spot, speechless for a long time, even what did Tu Lin say? I didn't even notice when I left.

It wasn't until Zhao Changping came into the room and saw her sitting blankly on the chair that he called out to her that Tu Xinmei finally recovered.

Zhao Changping asked what happened to Tu Xinmei again. Tu Xinmei had nothing to hide about her husband, so she told about Tu Lin, Ruan Tang, and Tu Lin's plan. Zhao Changping couldn't help being a little surprised when he heard that.

The couple talked to each other for a while, and then Zhao Changping asked Tu Xinmei what his plan was for Tu Lin, but Tu Xinmei didn't say anything, obviously she hadn't thought about it yet, so Zhao Changping didn't ask any more questions.

Sitting on the chair, Tu Xinmei frowned, looking hesitant and struggling. After a while, she sighed, and finally stood up. Zhao Changping knew at a glance that Tu Xinmei had finally decided to do what Tu Lin wanted. Sure enough, after talking to Zhao Changping, Tu Xinmei left the house and went to the village.

Even if Tu Lin wishes, then she will naturally do it for him, I only hope that my brother's painstaking efforts will not be in vain.
