Chapter 142: Escort (8) (2nd Watch)
Wu Xiangdong asked the two, "Who is that woman?" ”
The girl said, "She is the stepmother of the little woman!" ”
"Why is the stepmother chasing you?" Wu Xiangdong felt strange.
The girl followed behind with a finger of her hand, and the old man, who was out of breath even after walking a few steps, said: "She wants to sell the little woman to the old pit man for five rooms, and the little woman swears to die, so she ran out with Brother Zhiqing!" ”
Zhang Darthead persuaded: "Less darthead! A daughter's lifelong event has always been the order of her parents, and the words of the matchmaker, can you manage it? ”
"I ran into this matter today, so I have to take care of it, it's a big deal that after the two of them finish this dart with us, the man will be sent to Fang Gongzi Lamp Factory to work, and the woman will be sent to the medicinal restaurant to help, and they must not be allowed to beat this pair of good mandarin ducks!" Wu Xiangdong said.
Fang Lei said: "If they agree, I still have a shortage of manpower there!" ”
The girl asked, "So, are you willing to help us both?" Brother Zhiqing! The two of us have met a good person, that class of family members is definitely not the opponent of the benefactors, and it is impossible to snatch the concubine away! ”
"Big girl! After we get married, I will treat you well for the rest of my life! Zhiqing said.
At this time, a group of family members chased after them, and saw the two dart masters and the executioners showing their long swords one by one, where did they dare to step forward? They all stood in place, cowering, not daring to step forward.
The old farmer was over seventy years old, with pale hair, but his brain was full, his intestines were fat, and his body was fat, and he asked strangely: "A group of passers-by, why don't you hurry up your own way, what do you care?" ”
Wu Xiangdong lost his temper and scolded: "You, an old pit man, are already old and old, and you are still old and into the flowers, and the old cow gnaws the tender grass, and you want to marry a big girl who is like a flower and jade, is it shameful or not?" Is it okay for you to accumulate some yin virtue? Don't spoil other people's yellow flower girls! ”
When the old farmer heard this, his face turned pale with anger, and he shouted: "Haven't you heard anyone say it? As long as you have money, a ninety old man marries a nineteen-year-old girl, an eighty-year-old man marries an eighteen-year-old girl, a seventy-year-old man marries a seventeen-year-old girl, a sixty-year-old man marries a sixteen-year-old girl, and a fifty-year-old man marries a fifteen-year-old girl. ”
"The girl doesn't want to marry you, but you force you to marry, I will take care of it!" Wu Xiangdong said.
The old owner said: "I, Huang Shineng, am not easy to bully, family members, all together!" ”
At this time, a group of family members rushed up with wooden sticks, and the executioners also rushed up, and they were in a ball. Seven or eight people had already been slashed, lying on the ground crying for their father and mother, and they couldn't get up, and the executioners just used the back of their knives, and if they used the blades, they would have seen the king of Hades a long time ago.
The stepmother saw it and scolded: "Dead girl! What's so bad about marrying the owner of Huang Zhuang? Rich and powerful, wearing gold and silver, brocade clothes and jade food, serving at home, and carrying a sedan chair when you go out, you have to marry this poor boy, who will be poor all his life, and will not continue to eat three meals! ”
The eldest girl said: "Brother Zhiqing and I have been childhood sweethearts since childhood, the two have no guesses, and we have long had a love affair, but you beat the mandarin ducks, insisting that I marry the old pit man, the loess has been half buried, and he smells of decay, lying next to him, and he can't sleep!" ”
"I can't sleep with him, but I can sleep with a lot of silver! The owner of Huangzhuang has a big business, and he will return to life for a hundred years in the future, and he will also share a lot of family property, which is enough for you to enjoy for a lifetime! The stepmother said enviously.
The big girl said: "You know money! Money! Money! To the daughter's happiness regardless of it, no wonder people say, it's not that the mother doesn't love the daughter, the stepmother is the stepmother, and when your biological daughter grows up in the future, see if you treat him like this! ”
"Dead girl! Don't be afraid to tell you! When the second girl grows up, she will marry a rich family, no matter how young or old! The stepmother said.
"Wow! This woman is really ruthless, for the sake of money, she actually pushed her daughter into the fire pit, doesn't she have a little pity? Isn't there a little bit of mother-daughter affection? Chen said.
Yes! In those days, women had rights? There is no freedom in marriage, it has always been the parents who are in charge, marrying a chicken with a chicken, marrying a dog with a dog, and marrying a monkey all over the mountain.
Alas! It's really a flower stuck in cow dung, is it like a handful of fresh grass from a big girl, really want to feed Huang Shineng, an old cow who is too old?
At this time, the eldest girl knelt down on her knees in front of her stepmother and cried loudly: "Mother! You can't bear to push the big girl into the fire pit? This is more vicious than killing my daughter! ”
The stepmother relented a little and sighed: "Alas! Who called your dead ghost daddy who suffered a thousand knives, didn't do business all day long, just liked to gamble, and after owing a lot of debts to others, he stretched out his feet and ascended to the sky, leaving his mother to suffer in the world? ”
At this time, the young man named Zhiqing said, "Mother! I don't have any relatives at home, so you can hire me as a door-to-door son-in-law! My eldest girl and I will serve you all our lives and will never break our promises! ”
The stepmother said: "Zhiqing! I watched you grow up, and I know that you are kind-hearted, loyal and honest, and you are really good to the eldest girl, and you are a good young man, but we are all poor families, and we are not ruthless, and I intend to break you up, but I have borrowed fifty taels of silver from the owner of the village to pay off the gambling debts for the dead ghost, and the eldest girl does not marry him, where is the silver to be returned to others? ”
At this time, Fang Lei walked down from the dart cart and said, "Auntie! I'll help you pay back the fifty taels of silver! ”
Before he set off, he thought that he would stay in Duanzhou for a while, and after he was familiar with the environment, he could find the evidence of the crime of the "King of Lingnan".
The stepmother asked in astonishment, "Young man! I heard you right! You will help me pay back the fifty taels of silver you owe to the owner? ”
Fang Lei said crisply: "Auntie! You heard it right, I'll help you pay back the fifty taels of silver! ”
As she spoke, she took out fifty taels of silver from her bag and handed it to her stepmother, who couldn't believe everything in front of her and said, "Childe! The concubine is not related to you, fifty taels of silver, for the rich, it is just a little chicken offal, but for us poor people, it is a charcoal in the snow! ”
Fang Lei said: "Auntie doesn't have to be polite, one person is in trouble, and hundreds of people help, and there is no hurdle that cannot be passed!" ”
The stepmother said: "Zhiqing! Your son-in-law confessed and paid off the debt, I will let the eldest girl marry you, and the son-in-law and our Pingshui will be willing to help! If my mother breaks you up again, I will really not be a human being, Zhiqing has passed the door, we have a man in our family, we have the backbone, we are used to being poor, and we are not afraid of living a poor life! ”
When he spoke, he took a few steps forward, held fifty taels of silver in both hands, and handed it to the old farmer, but the old pit man did not dare to take it with his hands, and said: "When you borrowed money from the owner of the village, you said that this is a dowry for the eldest girl, can this dowry be returned?" A young and fresh girl, fifty taels of silver can hold a beauty, and serve for a lifetime, do you think I will give up? ”
is really an old **, he has to spoil a big girl before he is willing to die, can the big girl marry him? ”
