Chapter 83: The Bride Price
The sister-in-law of the Li family was a little embarrassed when she said it, to say that Bilian was really bold this week, and she really dared to go alone with a man.
Zhou Xinzhi nodded, and first went home with Du Lisheng, but she didn't go directly to Zhang Juhua.
"Lady doesn't want to go back to her parents' house?" Du Lisheng glanced at it and saw that the little lady was still sitting on the seat with a calm face, but he was a little puzzled.
"What's the use of going? According to Zhang Juhua's temper, it is estimated that everyone in the next village will know, let's go in vain, and after a while she will have to come to show off, after all, her baby daughter has climbed up to a noble son, she will definitely come over and be angry with me. ”
Talking about who is coming, as soon as she finished speaking, Zhang Juhua came in from outside wearing a festive sound, and the loud voice was eager for everyone in the countryside to hear.
"Oh, Xinzhi, you're not at home today, I haven't had time to tell you yet, your sister has been taken by a noble son, and I see that our Zhou family is going to have a happy event recently."
She said by Zhang Chrysanthemum, quietly nibbling on the fruit in her hand, looking at the bill, without raising her head or speaking.
"Hey, I said you girl, you are so unruly when I talk to you?" Zhang Juhua looked unhappy, sat next to her, and came with a bit of a parent's temperament.
Reaching out and pinching the grape, he smacked, as if he was not satisfied, but he still rubbed one and put it in his mouth, and after eating, he did not forget to spit the skin on the ground.
Zhou Xinzhi didn't say anything on her face, but her whole person's momentum became different.
"Look at you, it's just that people are poor and short-minded, what's the use of guarding these broken fruits, don't hurry up and curry favor with your sister, just the past, you apologize, we are all a family, I'll tell Bilian for you, we'll pass this matter, and when Bilian gets married, we can take care of you a little."
Zhang Juhua almost wrote the word alms on her face right now.
"Mother-in-law, my wife has come back from the city after a busy day, and she hasn't rested yet." Du Lisheng couldn't stand it anymore, and interrupted Zhang Juhua's words.
The lady was calculating today's income, but her mother-in-law kept talking beside her, and he kept looking at Xinzhi frowning, and he was a little bored when he thought about it.
"It's not that I said you, you're a junior, what's wrong with me, an elder, saying a few words, my Zhou family girl didn't speak, when will it be your turn to speak."
At this moment, Zhang Juhua seems to have reached the gate, and her face is no different from those nouveau riche.
Zhou Xinzhi was irritated by the noise, put away the brush unhappily, and turned to look at Zhang Juhua.
"Your Bilian and other people's eight characters haven't been brushed up yet, they are hyped in this village, even if you don't think about Zhou Bilian, you also think about others, if she really has something, this face will not only lose you, but also mine, and Zhou Bilian's! You mother, you really care about your children! ”
She was already angry, and she spoke impulsively, and it was hard to hear what she would say.
"How are you talking? What is the meaning of the eight characters without a glance, people fell in love with your sister at first sight, your sister is beautiful, why can't there be a rich young master like it. ”
As soon as I heard that Zhou Bilian was not, Zhang Juhua could still sit still, so she almost didn't get up from her seat and jump to her feet.
Du Lisheng just wanted to speak, but was stopped by Zhou Xinzhi, "You prepare dinner first, you can't talk about the girl's family, I'll talk to my mother, just eat something simple in the evening." ”
The lady had spoken, and Du Lisheng could only nod and obediently go to the stove room to prepare dinner.
"It's really not my mother who said you, you said that if you married into your cousin's family at that time, where would you still suffer here, your uncle's family has much more money than this, how can it be like now, you are still suffering, and you have to go out to make money."
"Why, I should be like my sister, make a vase, the young master asked her if she wanted to play, so she went with them generously?"
With a cold snort, she put away the account book and looked at Zhang Juhua, the two met their eyes, and Zhang Juhua actually saw a trace of ruthlessness.
"What do you mean by that?"
"What do I mean? What do you mean, wandering around the village, are you afraid that you don't know that Zhou Bilian has gone out alone with rich people regardless of etiquette and shame? Zhou Xinzhi really can't understand, how can there be such a parent, "Have you had a brain before doing things?" ”
"Do you know his name? Do you know where his home is? I don't know anything, if something happens, where do you go to find someone? I'm still studying like my sister? What I learn from her, learn from her to ignore her shame and go out with a foreign man without permission, I also want to be face-saving. ”
She sighed and held her forehead, on the one hand, she was angry that Zhang Chrysanthemum didn't care about everything, and on the other hand, she was also angry that Zhou Bilian herself was not angry.
"Phew, you cheap hoof, you just can't see your sister well, you have to hope that something happens to her to be happy, right?" Zhang Juhua was also a little panicked in her heart, she was too excited at the time and ignored these things, but now that she is so a little calm, calm down and think about it, what she said is not reasonable.
"Don't talk about her, just what you did, are the big families blind? Looking for an in-law from the countryside who has no rules at all? She pursed her lips, a little impatient, "You just need to remember that you are bent on climbing the rich, and the dowry will not be able to be made up when the time comes, but don't come to me to cheat, I don't have that obligation." ”
Zhou Xinzhi was a little speechless at Zhang Juhua's appearance.
Whose elders are not afraid that their children will suffer losses, and they will protect them in every way, but this chrysanthemum not only sold Zhou Bilian in the open, but also almost put her in, everyone is a pit father, she is a proper pit girl.
I don't know if Zhou Bilian will be angry when she comes back.
"We are all a family, why do you still speak foreign words, my mother is too anxious, and this is also not thoughtful." Zhang Juhua swallowed her anger and opened her mouth to please, she also thought that she could borrow this girl to make a good amount of money.
When Bilian marries into a rich family, and the dowry is there, she can also leave a little, after all, she is still a member of the Zhou family, can she really not care?
didn't expect this girl to be so decisive, so she directly understood with her, but she didn't plan to care.
"Don't, my husband and I are also small families, it's still poor people who don't sound good, where is the silver worthy of my sister's dowry, since my sister can marry such a good family, there must be a way to get a bride price." Zhou Xinzhi hooked the corners of her lips, and there was still some schadenfreude.
"By the way, this big family is more strict about the concept of the family, so ah, with our family situation, I'm afraid it may not be suitable, don't go in and be a concubine, especially this lonely man and widow go out, it is inevitable that they will steal taboos, my mother should pay more attention to it, even if this family does not succeed, I can also promise a good family, otherwise, my sister will either marry low and can only ......"
She didn't say the rest, but she also looked at Zhang Juhua's changed face with satisfaction.
If something really happens to a woman in this era, the best thing is to marry someone who doesn't dislike it, but how can this kind of person accept it if there are no other problems.
Then there was being drowned in a pig cage, it is estimated that Zhou Bilian and Zhang Juhua, the mother and daughter, were overjoyed at that time, and they didn't think about this problem.
Even if the girl said that she was innocent, as soon as this incident came out, the people in this village probably wouldn't believe it much.
So this matter was made so troubled by Zhang Juhua, and the matter between Zhou Bilian and the other party has already been settled, at least in the eyes of the people in the village.
"Okay, I still have something to do, if my mother is fine, go back first, as for the hosta you just left, I advise you to hand it over to me, it was specially given to me by the Lin family, in order to thank us for our cooperative relationship, so you don't dare to wear it if you take it away, and you don't dare to sell it, it's really boring."
Zhang Juhua's body trembled, and she reluctantly put the hairpin back for her, "Isn't it just a broken hairpin?" I'm just going to see, why do you girl say that about your mother. ”
After saying that, he got up and left unhappily, what was specially customized, and he didn't know what kind of door he relied on.
After leaving, the more she thought about it, the more angry she became, and after she went out, she quietly magnified the matter of Zhou Xinzhi's hairpin behind the backs of a few people who could chat on weekdays.
She said that this hairpin was a token given to her by the shopkeeper Lin of Yuxinfang in the city, and the shameless personal relationship between the two was not said by her, and she couldn't say that she was a mother, and she also said that Zhou Xinzhi had an idea.
At this time, Zhou Xinzhi couldn't have imagined that Zhang Juhua's woman actually began to slander her reputation outside.
For a few days, there was no news from Zhou Bilian, and Zhou Xinzhi could understand it, after all, this is not modern, and she can't leave with a phone call.
Today she is sitting in the store and starting to prepare the materials to be used next, the scrub and bath oil are almost the same, and Du Jiu has also studied a lot of flower essential oils in the past few days, and the response is good.
"Xiao Tongzi, it's time for you to behave, pick a few catties of good almonds for me, and a little honey." Zhou Xinzhi sat in the warehouse and rubbed her sore neck, and spoke to the system.
"Ding, the master has finished redeeming, the F value is insufficient, please replenish it as soon as possible."
Zhou Xinzhi's shoulders collapsed, and she pouted a little unhappily, "Why is it the same as asking for accounts every day, alas, they are all about to die of poverty." ”
The "......" system was speechless for a while, did you see it so gentle and accountable?
From time to time, there are small surprises, there are discounts during the holidays, and credit is a common thing!
After getting the materials she wanted, Zhou Xinzhi just wanted to do it, and Xiao Tao hurriedly walked into the store.
"Sister Xinzhi is not good! The second shopkeeper and the shopkeeper Lin quarreled with people outside Yuxinfang. ”
Xiao Tao held the table on the side with both hands, panting and speaking, her fair face was still covered with dense sweat, and she looked like she was in a hurry.
She quickly got up and poured a glass of water for Xiao Tao.
After taking a sip of water, Xiao Tao's breath of urgency went down.
"What's going on? Did the shopkeeper Lin and the second shopkeeper quarrel? Zhou Xinzhi didn't hear too clearly, and subconsciously asked.
