Chapter Ninety-Four: Negotiations
Mu Zhen used one hand lightly without proof, and without any pressure, he had nothing to say, and Zhao Yougen naturally did not dare to take it lightly.
"Since my nephew would rather kiss an outsider than believe me as an uncle, then I don't have any scruples, let's put this matter on the bright side."
Zhao Yougen said to Mu Zhen while smoking the cigarette bag and pot.
Seeing Zhao Yougen's relaxed expression, Mu Zhen raised her vigilance a little.
This person has been the village chief for so many years, and I heard Hongmei say that in their village, Zhao Yougen's family is the richest, and the house built is not counted, and the yard is as spacious as two families.
How much can a village chief have? Just look at the village chief's house. Uncle Sun's house still burns a kiln, and the house is not as grand as theirs.
So, where this money came from, naturally, it is self-evident.
However, even if he is doing a ghost, in Qianzhuang Village, Zhao Yougen's reputation is definitely not bad.
To be able to do this, if there are not a few means, is it possible?
Therefore, if she is not afraid of a real villain, she is afraid of a false gentleman, Mu Zhen has to deal with this old fox carefully.
Regarding Zhao Yougen's words with a gun and a stick, Mu Zhen didn't take it to heart, and said with a smile: "Uncle Yougen, where are you talking about?" My father-in-law and Brother Shanzi are brothers, and you are Brother Shanzi's brother-in-law, that is, the elders of our two sons, how can we still be said to be outsiders? Does Uncle Gen dislike that the two of us can't get on the stage and don't treat us as a family? ”
Mu Zhen's quiet riposte also made Zhao Yougen make a new evaluation of Mu Zhen in his heart, and it seems that he still underestimated her.
"Look at my nephew and daughter-in-law's clever mouth, I can't say it."
Mu Zhen secretly glanced at this old man in her heart, girl, this old fox is too shameless, want to buckle herself with a disrespectful hat? The beauty of thinking.
"Oh, Uncle Gen is an elder, so naturally he won't worry about me in a later life. Your family is good and has high prestige, and now you have entrusted Brother Shanzi and cultivated the blessings of several lifetimes before you become a relative. ”
Mu Zhen's dead-faced words made He Laosan's understanding of his little lady reach a new height.
This girl, the black one can make her white, it seems that Zhao Yougen has some grinding.
Sure enough, although Zhao Yougen kept squeezing out Mu Zhen, Mu Zhen was able to return it lightly, and a few times back and forth, he did not take advantage of it at all, but gave Mu Zhen the qualifications to talk about this matter on behalf of the Jinshan family.
Zhao Yougen, who gradually lost his patience, didn't spare the bend, and then picked out the words clearly: "You really want to ruin this family, right?" That's good, don't blame the old man for turning my face and being ruthless, it's okay to regret the marriage, compensate my family for 20 taels of silver, and that's it. ”
As soon as Zhao Yougen's voice fell, everyone present gasped, "Hiss-" Isn't this a money robbery?
Uncle Sun, the village chief who had been watching from the side, also spoke, "Lao Zhao, isn't this 20 taels of silver going to force their family to death?" ”
Zhao Yougen sneered and said, "Hmph, I'll force them to death?" It's that they don't know what to do. ”
Zhao Yougen expected that this family business was going to be ruined, so he dared to ask for this price, and if he didn't give in at that time, they would give it even if they smashed the pot and sold iron.
However, although Zhao Yougen expected Jinshan and them, he did not expect Mu Zhen.
As soon as Zhao Yougen's words fell, Mu Zhen didn't look like a general, her face was full of smiles, her eyes were full of sarcasm, and she sneered: "What Village Chief Zhao said is really funny, what do you tell us to regret our marriage?" You say that Jin Lian and your son have been married to each other since childhood, what about the witnesses? What about paperwork? The point is, when the golden lotus is in harmony, what about your gift money? Discussing a charter with you is for the sake of your elders, if you are really unreasonable, then we will go to court. ”
Mu Zhen's unreasonable routine made Zhao Yougen stunned.
Before he could think of a countermeasure, Da He, who had recovered his strength, rushed to Zhao Yougen and scolded: "You are an old immortal, you were asked to give a dowry at that time, and you just deducted that little money, and now you are wiping one head and one end is playing, what do you think?" You're useless. ”
was originally forced by Mu Zhen to have nothing to say, Zhao Yougen held back a fire in his heart, and was so tricked by the Da He family in front of people, Zhao Yougen completely broke out.
"You stinky mother-in-law, you give me a stop, it wasn't you who said at the time, this is your niece, you didn't spend that wrongful money, and now you blame me?"
The words that the two said in anger made the Jinshan family feel cold.
Jinshan Niang left early, but this aunt is still good to her two brothers and sisters. Both brothers and sisters are honest babies, and the more others treat them, the more they return them.
Therefore, Jinshan and Jin Lian, whenever they are busy with farming, as soon as the work in the house is done, they rush to Da He's house to help.
To be honest, if these two people didn't say this, Jinshan heard Zhao Yougen say that he wanted 20 taels of silver, maybe he felt indebted, and he would give it.
After all, a few days ago, my family followed Mu Zhen to sell green beans, and I still made a lot of money, and I still took out the 20 taels. It's just that the plan to build a house has been postponed.
But the words of the two members of the Da He family really hurt Jinshan's heart. Human affection is as thin as paper, and he has experienced it thoroughly today.
Now Mo said that it was 20 taels, and he couldn't wait to give a tael. Forget it, Zhen Niang is a successful person, he won't interfere in this matter, and he has full authority to trouble Zhen Niang.
Looking at the two people who were entangled on the ground, Geumsan looked at him in disgust and said, "You don't want to solve this matter, do you?" If it doesn't work, I'll send everyone back, and if it does, don't be embarrassed here. ”
Jinshan's angry words made the old couple come back to their senses, and they quickly got up from the ground.
It seemed that the eyes around him were too hot, and even Da He was embarrassed to be stared at, so he glanced at the people around him hatefully, and scolded: "A group of little miscellaneous hairs, what are you looking at?" ”
Although Da He was angry, he was still a little measured. She is from Pingyao Village, except for a few older people present, everyone else has to shout aunt and grandmother when they see her, and she scolds a group of juniors, but she doesn't dare to say anything.
Anyway, the person has been lost, and the skin of the face has been torn, and the Da He family doesn't care anymore, so he snorted at Muzhen from afar, and said: "After your mother dies, the old lady makes clothes and shoes for you every year, you go to the old lady, and it is more than half a month to play, and the old lady asks you to ask for 20 taels are less." ”
Da He's ability to open his eyes and talk nonsense made Hongmei really admire, "I still treat you as an elder, call you an aunt, these things you said, others can't find them, I know, before the two of us got married, how could the two brothers and sisters of Jinshan go to your house to play for a day?" I do it on the slope when it's sunny, and I'm busy in the house when it's raining, which of my mother's house doesn't know about this? Are you embarrassed to say that? ”
The Red Plum Lady House is the mother-in-law of the Da He family, and when Jinshan Jinshan does work in the Da He family's house, everyone also sees it.
Hongmei's words came out, but Da He had nothing to say.
"Hmph, I don't care, 20 taels of silver, you don't give it." In the end, it was not enough, Da He simply played a trick.
"20 taels? The beauty you think, 5 taels of silver do you like or not, then let's calculate these years, I will give your family a salary for work, and then see if you want to pay me money, or I want to lose your money. If it really doesn't work, let's go to the county master, and it's not an exaggeration to say that you are blackmailing this matter today. When the time comes, I will see which of the village chiefs who have been in prison will still recognize him. ”
Geumsan was really hurt, it's okay, don't want such a relative.
After all, Da He grew up watching Jinshan, this baby is kind and kind, but it is definitely not weak and bullying, on the contrary, it is stubborn.
Looking at him like this now, it is estimated that he has moved his real character.
"Five taels of silver is five taels of silver, you can take it out for me now, otherwise you will give me a penny for one more day."
As soon as Da He's words fell, the villagers began to talk again.
"Is this still my aunt?"
"That's right, what kind of virtue is a personal son, and people are not allowed to withdraw from marriage."
"No, this is not even a divorce, didn't you listen to what Shanzi said, you can't even give up the dowry, this is to be a bandit, and you plan to marry by force."
"That's right, hey, I've never seen such a shameless one when I'm so old, five taels of silver, this is enough for most people to run around for several years, and if you don't pay it once, you have to grow a penny a day, why don't you grab money?"
"That's it, bandits, why don't you go and grab money. Our Jin Lian is such a capable girl, it's good that she didn't marry their family, otherwise it wouldn't be ruined? ”
Everyone's accusations, Da He should turn a deaf ear.
If they say that they are indispensable, they can't do anything with themselves.
His son is knowledgeable and talented, and when the time comes, don't say that he will marry a village girl, this rich man Zhao will say hello, and the young lady will be able to marry back.
This family is shameless, which is unusual? Bah.
It's the right thing to do when you get the money.
Geumsan has now seen through the Da He family, although he feels very sad, but after all, he is a man, so he doesn't feel so sad.
"This is what you said, I gave you five taels of silver, my sister-in-law and your family will have nothing to do with it from now on, and my Jinshan family will no longer recognize you as an aunt."
Regarding Jinshan's words, Da He didn't take it to heart at all, "Cut, who has to say that your sister is a girl?" Who is rare, just poor relatives like you, admitting it will only discredit our family, you and I are so strange to reconcile, I wish I could quickly clear up the relationship with you, and when your life can't be revealed, don't forget what you said today. ”
Outside of the Da He clan, Jinshan wanted to threaten her, but he didn't care, and blocked the words in one mouthful.
Geumsan snorted coldly and said, "I will naturally remember." Hongmei, take five taels of silver out now. ”
Then he turned to the elders present and said, "I also bother Uncle Sun and the elders to give me a testimony to Jinshan." ”
