In the shade of the trees outside the village, the second child of the Qiu family and his father sat on the ground, smoking low-quality dry tobacco, waiting for news from Qiu Ba's side. Their family is not rich, and the bride price given to the Tian family was also borrowed from relatives and friends.

Originally, he made a family affair with the Tian family, and the Qiu family also had a long face, after all, Tian Qian was also a top beauty in these ten miles and eight villages. said that she would marry before the age of twenty, and the Qiu family didn't care, so that she could relieve the pressure and make more money for the wedding.

But in recent months, I heard that Tian Qian works in a factory and has an income of twenty or thirty yuan a month. They can't wait, this year is two or three hundred, what a cash cow, the sooner you get it back, the more you will benefit.

The Qiu family also has another worry, that is, they are afraid that her family will be rich, Tian Qian will regret her marriage, and the bride price of other people's families will only be twenty or thirty yuan, but his family will spend four or five times more money for Tian Qian, a great beauty.

Since Tian Qian got engaged, she didn't like Qiu Er very much, and she ignored Qiu Er openly and secretly. That's why they came to force marriage every once in a while, and before the age of seventeen and twenty, we didn't break the contract, right?

The first few times they were forced to marry, they all came forward by themselves, but this time because they were going to come hard, it was not good to come forward in person. In the future, if the wedding is held, as an in-law, you still have to come and go, and you can't hurt your face too hard. As long as the Tian family agrees, they will come forward to say no, and pretend to make amends.

"Qiu Er, the eighth asked me to call you over. ”

"The stubborn old man agreed?"

"Not yet, now it's deadlocked, the eighth said that he could be your master, but they didn't believe it, and asked you to confirm it. I think eighty percent of them have dramas. ”

When Qiu Er heard this, he was so happy that as long as he agreed, there were less than two months left, and he could hold the beauty.

Three-inch nails, bantam tiger, he is pretentious, in fact, he is a second goods. He has been greedy for Tian Qian's beauty for a long time, and since he first saw Tian Qian, he was itching in his heart, but unfortunately Tian Qian ignored him and never got started.

"Uncle, come here, now the old man Tian will push the matter to this kid to deal with, I told him, today either return the bride price of 100 yuan, or promise to get married on the eleventh. They think that I can't speak for you, you give them a word, can I call the shots?"

After Qiu Ba finished speaking loudly, he whispered a few words to Qiu Er and his father.

Qiu Er believed in Qiu Ba's judgment very much, but his father was a little hesitant. He looked at Xiao Yao standing there so confidently, he didn't panic at all, he was beating a drum in his heart. But he also felt that this was the best reason to persecute the Tian family.

Qiu Er's father hadn't decided yet, and Qiu Er couldn't wait to urge him. He also felt that a student baby could pretend to have so much money when he came to the countryside to play? He cleared his throat and said to Uncle Tian:

"My nephew can naturally be our master, and now that our father and son are also here, I agreed in front of your whole village and these people we have brought. However, it is solved on the spot, and it is outdated. ”

"Yes, my dad is very right, don't wait for the obsolescence, take the money, let's leave, if we don't pay back the money, we will take people away. ”

Xiao Yao is still in a hurry to get the money out, and he wants to do this well.

"This old man is Uncle Qiu, right? How can you always do things like this? You can't wait for such a big event as marrying a family for a day or two? Even if you agree to get married, you have to wait until eleven, right?"

"Don't play that game, young man, I eat more salt than you eat. If you want to delay for two days to raise money, don't think about it, take out the money now, we will pat our ass and leave, if we can't take it out, we will get married. ”

Xiao Yao pretended to be seen through his scheming, and coughed twice in embarrassment.

"That's not... It's not like that, that... As the saying goes, there is no basis for words, but words are proof, don't we still need to set up a word? This also takes time to prepare. ”

"Young man, I see that you are still studying, you still don't understand this, right? Since I made a promise in front of all the villagers, it is a sure thing, why do you need to make a written note?"

"That is, we are in the village, how can we talk without words, young man, you are redundant, you can give money. ”

"It's good to have a written note and save the time to regret it, which is good for both parties. ”

"Alas, it's a pity, such a beautiful Tian Qian, married to such a short man, I didn't know that she was not as tall as Tian Qian. ”

For a while, the onlookers said anything, Qiu Er was despised, and his heart was angry, but he didn't dare to attack at all. Xiao Yao saw that the time was ripe, so he added another fire.

"Uncle Qiu, you give me some time, let's find a fair person, set up a word, just one day, sign it tomorrow this time, do you think it?"

"Okay, you have to make a note, I agree, you want to find a notary, I'll find it for you. But it doesn't have to be tomorrow, it can be solved now. ”

"Yes, my dad is right, make a note, solve it now. If you want to play yin, there is no door. ”

Seeing that Xiao Yao had been looking for a reason to delay time, he was even more eager to marry him.

Xiao Yao looked at Uncle Tian in embarrassment.

"Uncle, you see that they are in such a hurry, are you always ..."

Xiao Yao deliberately didn't finish his words, and looked at Uncle Tian with shame on his face. How did Uncle Tian know the details of Xiao Yao? He was a sincere person, thinking that Xiao Yao had been cornered.

Tian Qian was on the side at this time, and she was also panicked. He knew that Xiao Yao must be rich, but this meant that he didn't have enough money in front of him. But she knew that she had no way out, so she had to let Xiao Yao deal with her fate.

"Alas... It's all my bad life, I can't blame you, I rushed here, and you did your best. Stand up, and marry sooner or later. I'm just sorry girl. ”

"Uncle Tian, since you say so, then there is no need to set up this note, anyway, will you not do anything until eleven? ”

"No, if you say that you will stand up, if you don't stand up, you won't stand up? In-laws, don't worry, when my daughter marries into my family, we will definitely treat her well, and we will treat her like our own daughter. This notary, I think I'll let you be the captain, you don't have an opinion, right?"

"You promised before, and now I have agreed, you can do whatever you want, right?"

Tian Qian's father decided that he was no longer powerless, he was a little annoyed with Lao Qiu's smug face, and after answering weakly, he sighed and sat on a low stool on the side to smoke a cigarette.

The captain has long been at the scene, but it is just a matter of the children of others, and the captain is not good to say, he is only ready to come out to persuade and fight when there is a conflict, and now let him be a notary, he will not shirk.

Someone went home to get red paper and pen and ink, and the captain personally took the pen and wrote down the meaning of both sides just now. At Xiao Yao's request, he copied another note, and both sides held a copy.

Xiao Yao took the red paper and black letters in his hand, and dried the ink in a hurry. Reaching out from his trouser pocket, he took out five twenty-dollar bills and one ten-dollar one, and handed them to the captain:

"Captain, please give this 100 yuan to the Qiu family, who made you a notary? This 10 yuan is for your old notary fee, and it is written and copied, which is very tiring. ”

Xiao Yao laughed after speaking, and stuffed the money into the hands of the captain, who was still stunned.
