FH Chapter 30
Chapter 30: 实心眼
[Truthful /Honest heart]
Li Jin Hu knew that his big sister couldn’t let go and didn’t say much, he picked up a chopstick of bean curd, nodded again and again as he moved his chopsticks a little faster.
In the past, his sister’s cooking skills were very good, it hadn’t been that long, it seemed to be even better.
“Jin Hu, you didn’t run into anyone from the Li and Qin families this time you came back, did you?”
Li Haitang watched the savage and his own little brother burying their heads in food, waiting and waiting, and not seeing the two speak. Her heart was like a cat scratching as he took the initiative to ask.
From the county to the Li Family Village, the distance on this journey is not close; passing through the village, it’s impossible that not even one villager is seen.
“Jie, Brother Xiao took me to the back of the mountain, he carried me on his back, his footwork is fast, we rushed back in less than eight hours.”
Li Jin Hu touched her stomach and took a sip of hot tea, the two of them bought something at the shop in the county and were slightly delayed for a while, this was a shortcut, otherwise, it would have to be dark to enter the mountain.
The other side of the back of the mountain just leads to the county, halfway through a deep forest, Li Haitang rubbed the corner of her forehead, looking at her own little brother alive and kicking, continuously eating several pieces of pancake, not at all like being frightened, she found that she seemed to have underestimated Xiao Ling Chuan’s ability.
“Big sister, yesterday I snuck into the county and saw cousin Qiu Ju Jie (Big sister Qiu Ju).”
Li Jin Hu patted his chest. If he wasn’t smart and hid in the small alley in time, he almost bumped into Li Qiu Ju. That person has always been meticulous, and if that person found out that he has a small set of courtyard in the county, she would have made a scene.
“Li Qiu Ju? What is she doing in the county?”
Li Haitang narrowed her eyes, there was not a single good thing in the Li family except for both of them siblings. Unlike the arrogant and domineering Li family members, Li Qiu Ju gave off the feeling of being kind of soft and weak, as her name suggests, like a wild chrysanthemum flower, unappreciated and with no sense of existence.
Old Mrs Li valued value males and attach less importance to females and was not warm and fervent towards this granddaughter, but due to the fact that she lived her life together with the main family and that her great-uncle’s wife, Liu, was a good talker, Li Qiu Ju’s life was considered quite good.
The original owner’s impression was that this cousin was on good terms with her, and the two of them talked about everything. On usual days together, the original owner was very generous and often gave her older cousin the jewelry that her parents had bought for her.
After Li Haitang took over the original owner’s body, recalling it like this, her heart suddenly panicked.
Li Qiu Ju, where she is a good sister? Clearly madly jealous, the original owner’s soft nature, how can she do things such as elopement? All of this, is Li Qiu Ju both explicitly and implicitly urging!
“I don’t know, but I don’t think she’s a good person.”
Li Jin Hu persuaded her big sister many times, let her not be too truthful, the last elopement, where this villager’s gossip came from? Mostly it was Li Qiu Ju spreading it out, he said it to her sister, however his sister didn’t believe it.
Li Haitang nodded, sighing that the original owner is stupid, if the two of them really is a good sister, at least she should help out, instead of taking advantage of her being locked up by the Li family to hide herself.
A person like Li Qiu Ju was like a poisonous snake, sweet-talking and wilful, not necessarily one day, she would come out and bite you, leaving you defenseless.
“Jie, I saw her wearing a silk and satin material dress and going to the teahouse to listen to the opera.”
Li Jin Hu scratched his head, somewhat puzzled, his big sister knows? Then why is she still so good with her cousin?
Li Qiu Ju’s most recent period of living in her grandmother’s house, a village near the county. Great Aunt Liu went back to her mother’s house every year, carrying things yet came back empty-handed, for which she was also scolded by the Old Madam Li pointing her nose, Liu’s family is only take but not give, so stingy to the family, and even less that she would buy a satin material dresses and skirts for a granddaughter.
“To see an opera? You’re not mistaken, are you?”
The people of Da Qi love to listen to opera, but there are only so many theater troupes, and they are busy from morning to night every day, and they don’t have time to come to the poor countryside to build a theater stage.
Villagers save some silver money, so they can go to the county once a year to see it, then it’s already good. To attend an opera, to pay tickets, tea, but also give a reward to the theatrical troupe, once trip down, at least one or two silver.
