"Nai Yuan, this is the silver hairpin that my mother left me, it should be worth half a tael of silver, you go to the city in the afternoon to take this away, I still have half a tael of silver at home, wait to take it, my stepmother is very difficult to get, and I brought this dowry back at that time, so I gave the five taels of dowry first, and I also knew that she was the lion who opened her mouth." The white jade lotus who came out pulled Wang Naiyuan aside and gave Wang Naiyuan the hairpin on his head.

"Your stepmother, I naturally know what kind of person she is, see if my mother can say it, you put it first, this is the only thing your mother left you, I'll borrow some money, the family is not very rich over the years, and I haven't saved any money." Wang Naiyuan touched Bai Yuhe's head lightly. Bai Yuhe was only a little shorter than Wang Naiyuan, and the two of them looked very good at the appearance of the talented woman, Chu Ying took a few steps back and hid between the two planks, watching Wang Naiyuan hurriedly walk in front of him.

Waiting for nothing to move around, Bai Yuhe also entered the inner room, and Chu Ying came out and pricked up her ears to listen to the results of the bargaining inside.

"Take a step back from each other, 3 taels of dowry, after all, you have to do family affairs with 2 taels, which adds up to 5 taels of silver, and these 5 taels have to be borrowed well, you also know that my son studied in the school before, in order to understand more things, know more words." Chu Ying thought that yesterday Ye Qiu said that there were still more than 2 taels of silver at home, but the rice at home would have to be bought at that time, and in case she had another disease, I am afraid that these 2 taels would not be enough to toss, but if Wang Naiyuan really couldn't borrow it, he would definitely not sit idly by.

"So the family is really not rich, if the mother really wants a dowry of 5 taels to marry her daughter, it is better to find the next family as soon as possible, even if you like Yuhe, the daughter-in-law, I am afraid that she will not be blessed. Mother-in-law, think about it, Liyuan, what's going on outside? Liyuan kicked the stone and looked at Aunt Wang who came out, so she ran up to ask the result, only to see Aunt Wang smile slightly and walk leisurely to the front yard.

Chu Ying saw Aunt Wang's calm and relaxed appearance, and it seemed that the dowry of the 3 taels should have been set soon, so she waited for the two of them to go far before preparing to come out.

However, when she heard the sound of the door opening again, Chu Ying hid again, but she didn't hear anyone coming out, and the door was closed again, Chu Ying secretly glanced at it to confirm that no one came out.

"You don't have to get an inch, even if you find someone who can give a dowry of 5 taels, I won't marry, my father is like this, I'd rather jump into the lake than marry someone else, I will only marry Wang Naiyuan in this life." Chu Ying knew Bai Yuhe's thoughts, but she didn't know that she was so shameless and unashamed to say it to her stepmother like this.

"I have not married to protect them like this, I am for your good, the dowry is less and people look down on it, and your father's illness does require a lot of money, not to mention what happened to raising you so much and asking for a dowry." Bai Yuhe looked at Bai Li as a matter of course, took out a dagger and pointed it at her neck, it was funny to watch her panicked.

"Don't shout, since you came to my house, have your ten fingers been touched by the spring water? One day I didn't work hard and listen to you, I raised so much that I ate a bowl of rice and a mouthful of mustard greens, but what fatty meat have I ever eaten? Bai Yuhe lifted the dagger up and placed it on Bai Li's face, and swiped it lightly across her face.

"I have already paid you back the rations for all these years, and my father and I are doing all the farm work at home, have you ever been in the field? Don't pretend here, you and I already know the roots, why bother pretending to be a loving mother with me here. "

"You, you, don't mess around, why should this be like this on this day of great joy." Bai Li looked at the usually docile little white rabbit who showed his knife to herself today, it was really too good to her on weekdays, so she didn't know the importance of it.

"The rabbit is in a hurry and bites, don't force me, just 3 taels, if you want one more penny, I will die in front of you on the spot, so you can't get a penny." Bai Yuhe put it across his neck and stared at Bai Li with dead eyes.

"Don't, don't, I promise you, you put the knife down, although the two of us are not biological mothers and daughters, why bother to meet each other, I promise you only 3 taels of dowry, you put the knife down." Bai Li took a step forward, and Bai Yuhe brought the knife closer to his neck.

"Since I got married, I hope you take good care of your father, and we will not get along with each other since then, and I will go home to accompany you to play a play of motherhood and filial piety during the New Year's holidays. After that, if you dare to come to me to take a penny, I will not let you go, and I don't think you want your face to be ruined after spending a lot of money. Bai Li covered his face in fright.

"What are you still standing for? Are you satisfied with a splash of blood? Bai Li Shipeng looked at Bai Yuhe's wide eyes and the knife attached to his neck, and hurriedly called out to his mother, pushed open the door and ran out.

Chu Ying watched her stagger, and almost fell. Chu Ying touched her little heart that was frightened, and now the house fights are directly on the weapon, it is really too bloody, it is really not suitable for an underage child like herself, so she hurriedly walked out slowly along the wall, this Bai Yuhe himself is indeed a little underestimated, it is really not easy to have such courage in such a feudal society, although he is not afraid of being an enemy with her, it is better to have less contact.

Bai Yuhe sat on the ground, grabbed his trembling right hand, bit his lip to prevent the tears rolling in his eyes from falling, the days when people had to bow their heads under the eaves were coming to an end, and their own roads would be in their own hands in the future, and they would no longer be at the mercy of others.

Chu Ying returned home and asked Ye Qiu to take out the cash box again and count it well, "Didn't you count it yesterday, can you still come out in most of it?" "

This money lent to Wang Naiyuan must take a long time to get back, Chu Ying has already seen the days when she drank porridge and ate pickles, and when she thought of it, she had a handful of bitter tears, covering her face and lying on the ground just to be quiet.

"Why are you lying down, two taels and one penny 95 wen, no more and no less, what's wrong? Isn't one dollar enough? Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu who was embroidering the embroidery pieces, Aunt Ye Qiu rested at sunrise and sunset every day, how difficult it was, if she told her that she was going to give Wang Naiyuan 2 taels of silver to marry her daughter-in-law, Aunt Ye Qiu would definitely beat herself up first, and then tell her how difficult it was for her to talk about herself with tears and snot.

"What's wrong? What the hell happened, as soon as I came back, I was bullied? Beaten? Let me see, what are you doing with your face covered? Slapped in the face? Whose child is it? I'll call you back, I'll see, don't cover it. Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu with white eyes.

"Am I that weak? It's not bad if I don't beat others, whoever dares to hit me, who can hit me, it's nothing, it's just that Brother Wang doesn't have enough money to marry his wife for a while, I think, cough, I just thought, that, can you take out 2 taels of silver. "

Chu Ying looked at Ye Qiu, who had a solemn face, and felt that this was the calm before the storm, so she hurriedly covered her ass with her hands, although her combat effectiveness could not be underestimated, she never beat women, so she had no way to deal with Ye Qiu who was rampant.
