The biography of Gu Qi, a poor girl

The new husband is as kind as his face. After marriage, he bought a lot of clothes for Xingniang, and even made Xingniang eat white flour steamed buns and a lot of meat and vegetables.

He said that Xingniang is still young, and she should eat more when she is growing up.Xingniang was not allowed to work too much, and only the bride was allowed to play with his son Ah Ling.

Day by day, every day is a happy life that I never dreamed of before.Soaked in the sudden happiness, Xingniang gradually forgot the suffering and nightmares in her natal family, and she felt that her life seemed to be turning around.

The young Xingniang still doesn't know what consummation means.

The husband is a good man, because he cherishes the bride's body, he has not touched Xingniang for three whole years.I didn't mention this to Xingniang either.

It wasn't until Xingniang came to Yuexin that she was flustered and the cook in the kitchen helped her to explain her confusion. Then she gradually knew what Yuexin was and consummation was.

For the first time, Xingniang proposed it herself, and she wanted to repay her husband.

It was also that night that Xingniang knew that the person she was going to marry was not her current husband, but a 50-year-old lazy man. A widow around his age makes do with it.

It's just that the matchmaker got the wrong person when discussing the horoscope that day.

And the husband inadvertently heard about her life experience, and knew the situation of the old lazy man's family, so he simply made a mistake and married her back. For this reason, he gave her family an extra 15 taels of silver.

That night Xingniang cried a lot, both for her own happiness and for her own misfortune.

*

The days after that were very peaceful, and the relationship between the husband and wife became better and better after they talked about it.

It's just that Xingniang, who is getting older and familiar with human affairs, has become sensible and deliberately avoided her former playmate, her husband's son, Ah Ling, who is only three years older than herself.

Then A Ling left home.

Xingniang started to manage the inn together with her husband, the business is not bad as usual, and she can save some money every year, and her life is still comfortable.Except she has never been pregnant with a child.There seems to be nothing wrong with it.

The husband was not in a hurry, he just said that Xingniang was young, take her time, even if she couldn't conceive, it would be fine.

But God seems to be not used to seeing Xingniang living a good life. That year Xingniang was 25, and that day happened to be Xingniang's birthday. The husband said that he would go to the county town to buy new clothes for Xingniang.

There were a lot of customers in the inn that day, so Xingniang stayed in the inn to help out, and only her husband went to the city.

In the afternoon, a heavy rain suddenly fell.

That day Xingniang sat at the door of the inn and waited for several hours, until it was dark, everyone dispersed, and her husband did not come back.never came back.

Three days later, the yamen servant came to the door, and Xingniang found out that it rained heavily that day, and when crossing the mountain road, the mountain road was muddy and slippery, and her husband rolled down the mountain with the clothes he bought for her.

There was no one else on the road, and the body was not found until three days later, when villagers who were chopping firewood found the police.

*

Xingniang can't remember whether she cried that day, and gradually she can't even remember her husband's appearance.She only remembered that from that day on she was alone supporting the inn that her husband had left behind.

The location of the inn was originally remote. When the husband was there, the business was normal. After the husband left, life became more difficult.

Xingniang is not good at management, and on top of that, she has a weak appearance.The helpers in the store were not convinced by her discipline, and often slack off and did nothing.

The customers passing by are not easy to get along with. Some of the bold and bad-tempered customers see that there is only Xing Niang, a delicate and weak female shopkeeper, without the help of the male owner, so they often make teasing words and even touch their hands.

And the helper in the store not only didn't help, but also watched Xingniang's jokes from the sidelines.

*

The day Ah Ling came back was also a rainy night.

Two passing merchants came to the store, one of them started to speak rudely to Xingniang after drinking.Xingniang avoided speaking as usual, pretending she didn't hear.Even when the man's nonsense words became more and more excessive, he secretly hid in the backyard with red eyes.

But the merchant didn't let her go like the usual guests. Instead, he became more interested when he saw that she was afraid, so he chased her to the backyard.

Seeing that there was no one in the backyard, he dragged Xingniang into the firewood room, trying to plot evil against Xingniang.

Xingniang remembered that she kept shouting and crying that day, but no one came to save her.

Until her throat was almost hoarse, and most of her clothes were torn off, Ah Ling came back suddenly.

Ah Ling beat up the merchant, and Xingniang was also saved.

The friend of the peddler knew he was in the wrong, and after taking the peddler sober, he paid the money, and the matter was exposed.

Also after that day, in order not to cause unnecessary disputes, Xingniang would deliberately wear the most inconspicuous clothes every time, and even smeared her face to make her look ashamed.

But the guys in the store looked at Xingniang with increasingly contemptuous and explicit eyes.

Xingniang was afraid, and the business in the store was not getting better day by day. In desperation, Xingniang gritted her teeth and went to Ah Ling, and asked Ah Ling to fire those guys.Even in order to save Xingniang's face, Ah Ling dismissed the cook who was helping in the kitchen.

From then on, there were only Xingniang and Ah Ling in the shop.Although the business is still not as good as every day, but because there are fewer people to support, life is barely manageable.It went on like this for another five years.

This year, Xingniang is thirty, and A Ling is 33.

Xingniang never thought of remarrying, and Ah Ling never married a wife.Neither of them mentioned this matter. It was ridiculous that fate brought them together, but there seemed to be an invisible gap separating them.

Later, Xingniang's father was beaten to death because of bad gambling, smoked alcohol, and not long after her mother left, Xingniang simply brought the two younger brothers back together and worked as a waiter in the inn.

*

Just three months ago, the inn couldn't continue to operate, and the daily income was beyond its means.

One day Ah Ling suddenly suggested that the location of the inn was shifted, and there were passers-by who were not familiar with their places of life. They could just find a few fat sheep and extort some money. city ​​to live.

Ah Ling had been working in the county town before returning to the inn, and Xingniang's cooking skills were excellent, so she could live on by opening a snack shop in the county town.

Xingniang didn't know when she was persuaded. She used to be a person who had no idea. She used to listen to her husband, but now she can't live anymore. All she can rely on is Ah Ling. what.

The targets of their first hands-on were a few merchants.A table of delicious dishes mixed with Mongolian sweat medicine was served, and everyone fainted.
