In Xiji Town, Niu Po roasted meat.

Li Facai took half a flatbread, rolled several chopsticks to roast meat, took a hard bite, and said: "Xiang, this is the life of people!" ”

Sitting across from Li Facai was a gangster in the town.

The gang looked at Li Facai with contempt, and looked down on it in their hearts, in the end, it was a muddy leg in the countryside, and this small street restaurant could eat a mouthful of oil.

But after all, it is eaten for nothing, this braised pork is made of authentic pork belly, boiled with rock sugar, it smells fragrant, and the helper can't help but be vulgar, learning from Li Facai's appearance, flatbread rolls meat, and takes a bite.

The flatbread here is half a square foot, one is three catties full, and those who eat half a piece can burp.

After Li Facai finished eating, he touched his grease mouth and said with a stammer: "Brother Wang, when will Mrs. Hong be hired?" My niece is docile, and she will be filial to Mrs. Hong in the future. ”

The gang of idlers put the last piece of pork belly at the bottom of the plate into their mouths, and then said with embarrassment: "Get rich, it's not that my brother can't fulfill you, I told Mrs. Hong that it's good, and you will praise your niece as a flower, and you have to nod over there, who would have thought that someone would be stunned to insert a pole, this is also a matter of no way!" Let's see the next time, I'll look for you next time if there is something good. ”

Li Facai jumped up from his seat all of a sudden, his eyes widened: "Didn't they all say yes?" Who is so unauthentic? ”

Since he got the news, Li Facai asked for help to eat two meals, which cost a hundred yuan. The Hong family's dowry of sixty taels of silver, how to spend it, Li Facai thought about it well, and it flew away all of a sudden?

The gang was still embarrassed: "I can't tell you this." If there is a fork, the Hong family will blame me. ”

Li Facai shook his head, took out a handful of money from his purse, and stuffed it into the helper's hand: "Brother Wang, who is with whom the two of us, don't worry, I just inquire." ”

The gang collected a handful of copper coins, pouted behind Li Facai's back, and then reluctantly said: "Then I'll ...... Tell me, but I'll say it, and then I won't admit it, you can't say that I said it. ”

"That's natural, I'm just asking, see whose family is so lucky, into the eyes of Master Hong's family." Li Facai promised: "I designate not to mention Brother Wang to others." ”

The gang looked around, and when they saw that there was no one else, Fang whispered: "I can't say it's still someone you know!" ”

Li Facai's eyes widened: "Which one is it?" ”

"It's also from your village, and it's Mei Xianggong's clansman. I heard that their family is not only a showman, Mei Xianggong's nephew Xiao Mei Xianggong is also a 'little Sanyuan', and Master Hong's family is the richest man in the town, so he is willing to marry this decent family. The gang was a little mysterious.

Li Facai gritted his teeth, and his face turned blue with anger.

If someone else cuts off his beard, he just curses a few words; But the Mei family cut off the beard, he naturally couldn't bear it, and he didn't need to endure it anymore.

Seeing that his expression was wrong, the gang hurriedly said: "Brother Fa Cai, you can't make trouble, I can't afford to make trouble with this family business." ”

Li Facai said with a smile: "Brother Wang, don't worry, I won't make trouble, what's there to make trouble, this marriage is a matter of wishful thinking!" Having said that, his eyes flickered, and his heart made up his mind.

The meat was also eaten, and the matter was said, and the two ate the barbecue restaurant.

Li Facai hurried away, and the helper went to the teahouse next door with a toothpick in his mouth.

When he arrived at the door of the box, he spit out a toothpick, lowered his hand and went in, and said respectfully: "Fifth master, it's okay, Li Facai has a letter." ”

In the box, the young man who drank tea slowly was none other than Gui Wu.

Gui Wu took two pieces of broken silver, pushed them forward, and said, "Take the spare flowers." ”

Helping to postpone the favor, Gui Wu glanced over, and then accepted it honestly.

"I'll take two shops at the dock, and let your brother come over in a few days to have a look, and then learn something later." Gui Wudao.

Bang Xian said with a grateful face: "Thank you, Fifth Master!" ”

Gui Wudao: "Li Facai wants to sell his niece, you will give him a letter in a few days, find a way to get him to sign the deed, and take his niece out; The Hong family's ......" said this, and his face showed disgust: "If the two of them continue to toss, they will only pit the children of good families, and they will find their children from the boat and send them over, and they will also save the daughters of good families from suffering." ”

This is the dock, and there are a lot of boat prostitutes, and Gui Wu is talking about these people.

It turned out that there was indeed a rumor of a child daughter-in-law in the Hong family, but it was not Master Hong, but Mrs. Hong wanted to find a candidate. She didn't want her son to bear the name of a widower, and she didn't want her husband to have the opportunity to sleep with other women, so she came up with such a way to buy a child daughter-in-law at home.

Master Hong is bent on "giving birth to a grandson", how could he have the original intention?

Over there, Mrs. Hong arranged for a few helpers to find candidates, and when she turned around, Master Hong took out double the silver. No matter how powerful Mrs. Hong is, she is also an inner house woman, and things outside are easy to be fooled.

Even if there is no Gui Wu to interrupt, Li Facai's desire to send his niece to the Hong family will not be successful.

The helper had already received the money from Master Hong, and he wanted to fool Li Facai, so today he just added a few words, so he naturally wanted to take this opportunity to get in touch with the "Fifth Master".

Gui Wu knows that he can't be too stingy with these people, and he can lure them to his advantage, so that he can be better driven in the future. As for this idle brother, he used to be a buddy in the teahouse, he is an honest and capable young man, after Gui Wu left the Gui family, several brothers-in-law intervened in the teahouse and squeezed out not many old people, and this guy is also one of them.

When Gui Wu heard about this, he mentioned this sentence.

Not to mention that Gui Wu was a little promoter in the town, Li Facai directly hired a donkey cart to return to Mujia Village when he left Xiji Town.

The donkey cart arrived directly at the door of Mei's house, and I saw people walking around in the yard of Mei Tongsheng's house.

Li Facai's eyes were on fire, and he pushed the door in directly. A Mei's daughter came out and was curious when she saw Li Facai's imposing appearance.

Li Facai has always been a bastard, and he went directly to Mei's house regardless of it.

In the upper room of the Mei family, Mei Tongsheng and Mei Xiucai's father and son were sitting in the hall, and there were two people surnamed Mei on the seats.

Seeing Li Facai coming uninvited, Mei Tongsheng lowered his face, Mei Xiucai also frowned, but still got up and said: "Brother Li is here, it's really a rare guest, sit down!" ”

Both families are the old surnames of Mujia Village, and when it comes to in-laws, both families are the in-laws of the Gui family, and Mei Xiucai and Li Facai are the same generation, so they have the title of "Brother Li".

When the Li family and the Gui family broke off their relatives and each married the Du family, in fact, Mei Xiucai and Li Facai were already a generation apart. Mei Xiucai married Du Lizheng's daughter, but Li Facai was Du Lizheng's stepbrother, and actually became Mei Xiucai's cheap uncle.

It's just that Mei Xiucai prides herself on being a talented man, and she looks down on the mud legs in the village, so calling "Li Dafa" is to give the Li family face, not to mention anything else.

Li Facai came in anger, and he didn't sit down, just looked at Mei Xiucai and smiled: "I can't afford to sit in the seat of Master Mei's house, I just want to ask, they are all relatives, what did you do to me?" ”

With such a weird yin and yang, Mei Xiucai said unhappily: "Headless and brainless, what do you say, Brother Li?" ”

Li Facai snorted coldly and said: "I have a mud leg and a rare sixty taels of silver, how can you be so greedy as a talented man, and you actually started an errand to pull fiber and protect the media!" ”

Mei Xiucai's face immediately changed, what else could she have for sixty taels of silver? It's not the Hong family's side of the family.

The other Mei family members also held their breath, and Mei Xiucai mentioned it, and the old man Hong in the town saw that the Mei family had two Xiucai and wanted to marry the Mei family. Mei Xiucai originally thought about her niece Mei Duo, and didn't want the Mei family to take it upon herself to give her niece to the Gui family, so she wanted to choose a supple personality among the nieces and nephews and marry to the town.

What is the matter with these sixty taels of silver?

Mei Tongsheng said unhappily: "Li Facai, is this too much drunk?" Go to the house with a drunken madness, don't make a fuss in my house, this is not a place where you can be presumptuous? ”

Li Facai said angrily: "Who is presumptuous? They are all villagers, you are so unkind, you know that your father and son are greedy, but you can't cut off your beard halfway! On the Hong family's side, I have talked about it properly, sixty taels of silver hired my peach to be my daughter-in-law, you have inserted a jar, and no one is allowed to say it! ”

The Mei father and son were still resentful of Li Facai's rudeness, but the Mei clan people sitting there heard that something was wrong.

Li Taoer, the niece of the Li family, has also been a talking point in the village these days, some people guessed who her father was, and some people guessed that the Li family was going to sell people. If it is the flesh and blood of the Li family, the Li clan will definitely not be able to look at it in vain; Only if it is not the flesh and blood of the Li family, but just an adulterous daughter, and she was raised by the Li family, will she be disposed of by the Li family.

Didn't the Hong family want to marry the Mei family? Why do you want to buy people behind your back? Won't there be any problems with his son?
