184 Chapter 184. Misfortune Picks Hardships

Liu Xinning asked Guard Li and the others to go to the carriage to get the gift, and then followed the Qian family and his son into the gate.

The Qian family's house is extremely dilapidated.

After entering the gate, there is a big yard. There are five thatched houses in the main house, and two sheds are built on each side.

A variety of agricultural tools and sundries are placed under a shed.

Under the other shed are two pots, one large and one small, and a dilapidated cabinet—this should be the kitchen, right?

After Liu Xinning took a hasty glance, she followed to the main room.

The hall is also very empty.The two sides are separated by straw curtains.

At the top is an old square table with two square chairs.

The old man who went in first, wiped it with his sleeve several times before letting Xiao Muze and Liu Xinning, two luxuriously dressed people, sit down.

Qian Shuli frantically poured water.

However, when the two bowls of water were served, Chun Nuan hesitated to speak, and finally said nothing.

Liu Xinning went out low-key this time, so she didn't bring many people with her.She only brought two maids, Chunnuan and Meirui, plus Li Huwei.

And Xiao Muze only brought Ling Yi as a guard.

Even so, this small main room was filled to the brim with these people.

The old man desperately wanted to find a stool to sit on, but obviously there wasn't enough.

"Put things down. Only Chun Nuan is left here to serve. You all go outside and wait in the carriage."

Liu Xinning naturally saw the appearance of the old man, so she said to Mei Rui, Li Weiwei and Ling Yi.

The three of them also felt cramped, and hurriedly resigned after hearing this.

Three people walked into the room, and the old man breathed a sigh of relief visibly.

He hurriedly handed Chun Nuan another good stool at home, wanting her to sit down.

"You don't have to be polite, old man. I can just stand and serve my girl." Chunnuan refused with a smile.

Looking at this so-called free and poor life, Chun Nuan once again felt that she had made the right decision.

Liu Xinning didn't want the Qian family's father and son to be cramped for too long, so she quickly changed the subject.

"This is my cousin, surnamed Xiao. My surname is Liu, and Qian Shuli also knows it." Liu Xinning introduced it first.

I was outside just now, and I didn't even have a chance to make a formal introduction.

"This is my father, whose name is Qian Fu." Qian Shuli also formally introduced him.

After both parties had finished their introductions, Liu Xinning finally got down to business.

"You have been studying in Xueshan Hall for more than a month. The master also said that you have excellent qualifications, why didn't you go all of a sudden?"

"Miss Liu, you heard one or two just now. My elder brother, he is missing."

At this moment, Qian Shuli was crying like a ten-year-old child.

"How is this going?"

"Oh. Let me tell the story." Qian Fu looked at Qian Shuli, who was crying uncontrollably, and said with a sigh.

Qingqian Village is close to Daqing Mountain.Therefore, in addition to farming, villagers will go to the mountains to hunt and sell prey in exchange for money during the slack season.

The same is true of the Qian family.

Before, the Qian family had more than ten acres of land, plus Qian Funong's income from hunting in the mountains in his spare time, although the family's life was not very good, it was justified.

These five houses were built in the first place, and square tables and chairs were set up in the house.

However, later Qian's mother, Mrs. Cai, fell ill, and it cost a lot to seek medical treatment, so she sold some fields.

Later, Qian Fu went hunting and was injured and needed medical treatment, so he sold the rest of the land.

In the end, you can only live on the leased land of the landlord.

It stands to reason that such a poor family lives in a small village far away from Zhaoyang City, so it would be unexpected for them to send money and books to study.

After all, Qian Shuli is now ten years old, no matter what job he does, he can earn some money.

However, Qian Dahu, the eldest of the Qian family, insisted on sending his younger brother to learn to read.

That Qian Dahu is eighteen this year.A few years ago, I went to the city with fellow villagers and worked as a clerk for a few years, and also learned some eyebrows and eyes.

After Qian Fu was injured and unable to do heavy work, Qian Dahu returned home and became a pillar.

He farms the land every day, and in the slack, he goes up the mountain to hunt some prey and sells it in Zhaoyang City.

However, Qian Dahu had been a buddy after all, so he had some knowledge.Knowing that literacy and non-literacy, the wages for work are different.

So, when he went to the city to sell prey and heard that Princess Zhaoyang had opened a philanthropic hall to enlighten children on unrestricted cultivation, he was moved.

Therefore, under the pressure of his parents and neighbors, Qian Dahu sent his younger brother Erhu to the Xueshan Hall for enlightenment.

Years later, because the two tigers were about to go to school, Qian Dahu thought of going up the mountain to hunt some big game and sell some money for his younger brother.

As a result, after going there, he never came back.

The Qian family father and son begged the villagers to help them find it for a few days, and they saw Qian Dahu's shoes beside a cliff.

Therefore, everyone said that Qian Dahu fell off a cliff and died.

But Qian Shuli said that in life, one must see a person and in death one must see a corpse.Therefore, he just thought that his elder brother was missing and refused to admit that something happened.

"The back mountain of Daqing Mountain has always been steep. People in our village generally don't go there to hunt. Dahu guessed that he wanted to buy something and sell it for money, so he walked into the depths of the front mountain and entered the back mountain by mistake. Ah. After all, many prey are now hibernating, so they are rarely caught." Qian Fu said with tears in his eyes.

"It's all my fault for being dragged down by my broken body. I should have died a long time ago."

Suddenly, a weeping female voice came from behind the grass curtain, which startled everyone.

"Mother, what are you talking about?" Qian Shuli hastily ran behind the straw curtain to comfort her.

"That's my old woman, who has been sick in bed for several years. Now that the boss has an accident... After she disappeared, she has been crying all day long to seek death. If she dies, I will also seek death. But after death? Only the rest Erhu is alone? He is only ten years old, how can he live? We are alive, the clan is concerned, Erhu at least has a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

When Qian Fu talked about it later, he was a little numb.

Obviously, he should have considered suicide before, right?

"Tell me, why did the boss of our family disappear? He is the pillar of our family."

After talking about it, Qian Fu didn't have any scruples anymore, and started howling and crying.

For a while, I cried in the main hall, and also cried in the bedroom separated by the straw curtain.

There was crying throughout the room.

The hemp rope is cut at the delicate point, and bad luck finds the poor.

No matter which dynasty, there is such a situation.

Perhaps the Qian family realized that there were guests in the house, and they indulged for a while before they all stopped.

Qian Shuli came out of the inner room with a face of shame and apologized, "I'm sorry, I made you laugh, Miss Liu."

"What's so ridiculous about this?" Liu Xinning said softly, "Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite. You don't have to worry about it."

Hearing this, Qian Shuli finally felt relieved.

"My elder brother went up the mountain because of me. If I hadn't wanted to read and write, he wouldn't have ventured up the mountain for money."

"You can read and write, isn't it Shuxiu, and the accommodation is free? Why do you need to spend money?" Liu Xinning was a little puzzled.

She waived the repairs, waived the book fee, and even provided pens, ink, paper and inkstones for use in the school.

For students coming from remote areas like Qian Shuli, free accommodation is also provided.

As for food, Qian Shuli was asked to do some chores.

She really couldn't figure it out, where else would Qian Shuli spend money?
