Chapter 5 The New Family
Fortunately, even though he has no parents in this life, he has brothers and sisters. In addition to himself, he also has his brother Qi Qizhu, a fifteen-year-old girl, a ten-year-old sister, and a eight-year-old brother, Qi Shiyi.
And I am a serious boy, thirteen years old, and a water-like age.
I am called Qi Jiuli in this life because I am ranked ninth. The more I go back, the less I have no choice of a name. Like my younger brother Qi Shiyi, but to be honest, it is not bad. Moreover, Qi Shiyi is the youngest among his peers, without the twelve or thirteen, and Eleven is also a unique name.
I learned about the situation at home, as well as the uncle and uncle's family.
The eldest uncle Qishan gave birth to four children with his uncle Chi Lingmiao; the eldest uncle Qihe gave birth to three children with his aunt Feng Die.
Add to the four of my own family, and there are eleven of my peers.
Qi Jiuli felt it was very easy to remember. After all, one flying, February, three liters, four lotus, five blessings, six straights, seven bamboo, eight pine, ten fragrant, and eleven, and it was catchy, and it directly distinguished the age.
Knowing the internal situation, external things are also indispensable. So what is Yu, what is Xia, and what is going on? Qi Jiuli also asked Chi Lingmiao, and Chi Lingmiao came one by one.
Qi Jiuli was still listening to the family situation before. When it came to the back, she felt a little like listening to the heavenly book. She didn't expect that something would be so bloody.
It turns out that Qi Jiuli and Yu Haotian from Yujiaao have been married since childhood. The two families have been in good contact. Yu Haotian is one year older than Qi Jiuli and is just fourteen this year. Although he is young, he is already a child. There are famous people in several neighboring villages. After all, it is rare to have a child at the age of thirteen.
Even if Yu Haotian got Tong Sheng, the Yu family had no intention of destroying the marriage. After all, Qi Qizhu from the Qi family was also Tong Sheng, and he was a classmate in the same private school as Yu Haotian.
But even though the marriage is still the same, because the Yu family is a little confident, it looks a bit provocative when it comes to the future daughter-in-law. Although it is not too much, it is still a bit arrogant compared to before. After all, Yu Haotian is one year younger than Qi Qizhu. He has mentioned it several times and said that Yu Haotian has a more promising future.
Another reason why the Yu family has a stronger foundation than the Qi family. The Yu family has a shop in the town, with scholars, farmers, industry and commerce ranking at the bottom, but now it is different. If there are promising scholars at home, the storefront will be different.
"Can businessmen take the imperial examination?" Qi Jiuli interrupted and asked a question.
"Yes, only slaves, and lowly descendants cannot be admitted to the imperial examination." Chi Lingmiao explained that she would know so clearly because there was a scholar at home, and her third son Qi Basong was also studying in a private school, not to mention Qi Qizhu, the nephew of Tongsheng.
"Oh." Qi Jiuli nodded, expressing his understanding. The Yu family was originally just a merchant, so he valued scholars. But now he also had scholars. The money that was a bit stinky is now fragrant, so he also had the capital of arrogantness.
"Then it was because of dad..." Qi Jiuli changed his words awkwardly, "Are my father and mother gone?"
Chi Lingmiao nodded with red eyes and said indignantly, "The Yu family is not good. The second brother and the second brother and sister were buried on the eighth day of the first lunar month. The next day, huh, even if you endure the first lunar month, you came to the door to quit the bride. What a loser's eldest daughter should not be married? When you said Wen Zou Zou, those who didn't know what kind of scholarly family they were from the Yu family."
“This is not the most overwhelming.”
Chi Lingmiao was very angry, "Your brother Qizhu, he also made a kiss last year. He is Feng Yunxia, the little daughter of the main family in Fenghe Village. On the afternoon of the day when the Yu family came to quit the bride, their family also came to quit the bride."
"I said I didn't want my daughter to marry into the house and I had to serve my uncle and sister-in-law."
"I have said that when we are uncles, our uncle will help raise them together, and your uncle and aunt will also help, and will not make her daughter tired."
"But they are determined to withdraw from the marriage."
"What does the Qi family have to say? If you want to support Qizhu to continue studying, the family will have no food, so you can't push your daughter into the fire pit. And you have to be filial, which will delay the daughter. What's the delay? Feng Yunxia is only 16 years old after the New Year."
"Your brother Qizhu is a tough guy, not to mention that he met Feng Yunxia once when he saw each other. He was not as good as a forced marriage, so he nodded and agreed to withdraw from the marriage."
When Chi Lingmiao said this, her chest was getting bigger and she laughed. Qi Jiuli knew that she was so angry.
"It's all about one thing, but I can't do this. The 20th day of the first lunar month was the day of my second brother and my second sister-in-law. When we went to the grave to drink and worship, we heard from the villagers that Yu Haotian and Feng Yunxia were engaged."
When Qi Jiuli heard this, the corners of his mouth twitched, and he felt sick. He didn't expect such a thunderous thing to happen. The original fiancé was engaged to the original brother's fiancée, and he still chose the important day of his original parents, Sanqi. It's really... there is no such way to play in the face, so can't we wait any longer?
"Why are you so anxious?" Qi Jiuli asked out the doubts in his heart.
"Hmph, why? I have meat in my stomach." Chi Lingmiao felt disgusted after he said that.
"Is there meat?" Qi Jiuli said in certainty, "Is there a child in her belly?"
Chi Lingmiao nodded.
"Then Yu Haotian said he was only fourteen, or the fourteenth person in Xu Sui?" Qi Jiuli said astonished.
"It's not impossible to be a father at the age of fourteen. His birthday is very good. It's a coincidence that Feng Yunxia is also on the eighth day of the first lunar month. It's just about the time to get a baby in her stomach." Chi Lingmiao muttered, "According to the month, this is something that happened before they came to quit the bride."
"The death of the second brother and the second brother and sister-in-law has become their good excuse."
"There is really no one who bullies people like this. When they got engaged, your marriage with Yu Haotian had not yet agreed to leave. When they talked on the ninth day of the lunar month, your brother Qizhu refused to agree, but agreed to his own." Chi Lingmiao sighed.
"Is this the representative of my withdrawal from the marriage?" Qi Jiuli asked, pointing at his slightly swollen cheeks.
Chi Lingmiao burst into tears again, "The Yu Feng, who killed thousands of swords, was all the bad guys who had a bad heart. Her mother's family is Fenghe Village. She fell in love with the little daughter of the Li Zheng family and secretly took her son to see each other, which led to the good things for both of them."
"They got engaged. After you got the news, you ran to Yujiaao without staying at home for a while. When your brother knew about it, he hurriedly chased you. By the time of Yu Haotian's house, you had been beaten by the poisonous woman and fainted on the ground. Your brother was so angry that he couldn't beat Yu Feng, so he beat Yu Haotian and threw away the token of the engagement and carried you back." Chi Lingmiao sobbed.
