Today, it is said that there are three watches, and I want to collect tickets.

"It turned out to be Master Huang, please come in quickly."
Although Fan Peilan was annoyed that Huang Bai refused to borrow money to rescue Shi Wei, now that Shi Wei had been released from prison, he didn't care.
Besides, Huang Bai is Shi Wei's future father-in-law after all, and he still has to have the number of courtesies, so he reluctantly greets him with a smile.
Huang Bai put his hands behind his back, swaggered into the Ping'an Hall, held two handfuls of mustaches, glanced at the Ping'an Hall, and said coldly: "It's been seven or eight years, why is this Ping'an Hall still as dilapidated as when I came, brother and sister, why don't you spend money on a little decoration." β
As soon as this cork entered the door, he sarcastically mocked them for being shabby, and Fan Peilan was displeased, but it was not easy to say anything.
"The business of the hospital has not been very good, and when the first husband left, he spent a sum of money, where is there spare money to decorate the faΓ§ade." Fan Peilan sighed and offered a cup of tea to Huang Bai.
Huang Bai took a sip, frowned slightly, and seemed to feel that the tea was not in his mouth, and put the cup down.
Fan Peilan sat down on the side and asked, "Master Huang hasn't been to the door for several years, and now he suddenly visited, I don't know what happened?" β
Hearing Fan Peilan's words, there seemed to be resentment, Huang Bai sighed: "I know that you are still angry about what happened last time, brother and sister, but you should also understand my hardships, although I Huang has some money, but now the spare money on hand is invested in business, and it is true that I can't come up with the money to give Shi Wei a waste." β
As soon as Fan Peilan heard this, her face immediately changed, and she said unhappily: "Master Huang's words are not right, Yuanzhi has a marriage contract with Ling Qianjin, he will be your Huang family's son-in-law sooner or later, how can you spend money to save him called 'playing in the water'?" β
Shi Wei, who was listening quietly outside the window, had already guessed the intention of this cork at this time, but he was not in a hurry to show up.
Sure enough, that Huang Bai snorted: "Brother and sister, you don't have to say angry words, Shi Wei committed a capital crime of collaborating with the enemy, so how much does it cost to bail him out?" Every penny of my Huang Mou is earned by me with my own hard work, not to mention that Shi Wei has not married my daughter, even if he has become my son-in-law, I will not give out this money. β
"Master Huang, you-"
The more Fan Peilan listened, the more angry she became, but she had always been clumsy, and she didn't know how to respond for a while.
At this time, Huang Bai took out a piece of paper and put it in front of Fan Peilan, knocked on the table with his fingertips and said: "Since you mentioned this family matter, brother and sister, then I might as well open the skylight and say that I came to visit this time, it is for this matter, this document, please sign and draw it, brother and sister." β
Fan Peilan's face was suspicious, she picked up the book and looked at it, and her face suddenly showed surprise: "Master Huang, what do you mean by this?" β
"What do you mean, isn't it very clear in the paperwork, I'm going to break this marriage contract for my daughter." Huang Bai said with a sneer.
Syllable!
Fan Peilan pressed the document on the table, and said angrily: "Back then, Master Huang begged his late husband to marry this family, Master Huang, you proposed to dissolve the marriage contract at this time, which is a bit of a fall." β
"Just the so-called time and time, who would have thought that my brother Du Xian would be so angry, for so many years, Ping'an Hall is still in such a dilapidated state, this door is inappropriate, the household is not right, in fact, I have long felt that this marriage is inappropriate."
Huang Bai paced in the hall as if he was in his own home, without waiting for Fan Peilan to speak, and said: "Right now, Shi Wei is about to be killed, I don't want my daughter to become a widow before she leaves the door, so let's take advantage of Shi Wei's still existence and dissolve this marriage contract as soon as possible." β
Fan Peilan was already flushed with anger: "Master Huang, you are too untrustworthy to do this." β
Huang Bai saw that Fan Peilan did not comply, so he called the family waiting outside the door to come in with a pocket, opened it and poured it on the table, and dropped a table of copper coins with a bang.
Huang Bai pointed to the money on the table and sneered: "There is sixty yuan here, and I have the right to buy your paper painting." Sixty guan said not much, said less is not much, in the future Shi Wei will go, brother and sister, you use this money to do some small business, or as a dowry to marry others, I think it will be enough to support you for the rest of your life. β
According to the law system of the Southern Tang Dynasty, for example, when Tu County Order is from the eighth grade, there should be fifteen yuan per month, and the sixty yuan on the table is equal to more than four months of monthly salary from Dangtu County Order.
Ping An Tang's medical clinic business, ordinary Su monthly income is not more than two or three times, Huang Bai took out the income of the medical hall for two or three years as soon as he made a move, this money is already a lot of money for Fan Peilan.
Fan Peilan saw the money on the table, her eyes hesitated for a moment, but she still resolutely said: "This family affair was ordered by my late husband, and I will never cancel it, Master Huang, please take the money back." β
Fan Pei half insisted on refusing, and Huang Bai couldn't help but be angry, pointing at Fan Peilan and saying: "I am so polite to you for the sake of Du Zhong's face, don't you give face, toast and don't eat and drink, it angers me, don't blame ......"
"What can I do if I you off!"
Shi Wei entered from the back hall with his head held high, and interrupted Huang Bai's threat with a sharp voice.
He listened to the fact that this surnamed Huang dared to threaten Shi Niang, so he naturally didn't sit idly by anymore.
Huang Bai, who was arrogant, turned his head and saw Shi Wei standing in front of him alive, and was shocked.
"You...... You...... Isn't it in prison, how can it be ......" Huang Bai in horror, stammered and couldn't say a complete sentence.
"I've been acquitted."
Shi Wei stepped forward step by step, he was so angry that Huang Bai thought he had seen a ghost, and instinctively took a few steps back.
Huang Bai looked Shi Wei up and down, and after a while, his mood calmed down a little, and he was full of surprise: "Aren't you sentenced to death for collaborating with the enemy, how can you be acquitted?" β
Shi Wei sneered: "Isn't it okay for me to be blessed with a great life." Why, seeing that I am safe and sound, Uncle Huang, are you very disappointed? β
Huang Bai arrived in Dangtu County this morning, and he didn't have time to inquire about Shi Wei, and he only thought about breaking the marriage contract, and he didn't care about Shi Wei's life or death, so he was so shocked.
He took a few breaths, his face was so gloomy again, and he snorted: "It's none of my business whether you live or die, in short, this family business must be lifted." Shi Wei, you also want your sister to have a good time, sixty yuan is here, if you know each other, you can persuade your sister. β
"Uncle Huang is really generous, sixty yuan is not a small amount...... Shi Wei picked up a few pieces of money casually, weighing it in his hand, and seemed to be a little tempted.
Seeing this, Fan Peilan was anxious in her heart, and hurriedly said: "Yuanzhi, this is a family affair set by your master before his death, if you promise him, wouldn't it be worthy of your master's spirit in the sky." β
Shi Wei put down the money in his hand, raised his head and looked at Fan Peilan with a faint smile.
Then, he picked up the paper on the table, walked to Huang Bai, slowly tore the paper to shreds, and then threw it on Huang Bai's face.
Huang Bai was stunned for a moment, the shredded paper on his face fell, he reacted, and couldn't help but be furious, pointing at Shi Wei and scolding: "Are you crazy, how dare you be so rude to me!" β
Shi Wei tilted his head and looked at him, with a sneer hooked at the corner of his mouth: "Uncle Huang, I don't like your money at all, you should keep it for yourself to buy a coffin." As for your daughter, don't worry, I won't marry either. β
Huang Bai was more and more angry, but when he heard that he would not marry his daughter, he thought that he agreed to dissolve the marriage, and his anger disappeared a little.
At this time, Shi Wei said again: "I won't marry your daughter, and I will never dissolve this marriage contract, Uncle Huang is ready to raise Ling Qianjin for a lifetime." β
As soon as these words came out, Huang Bai was furious.
Shi Wei's intention is obvious, that is, to use this paper marriage contract to consume, and if she doesn't marry herself, she won't be able to marry others if she wants to.
This trick is ruthless enough.
Fan Peilan was also stunned when she saw it on the side, she was amazed in her heart, she never imagined that Shi Wei, who was once submissive and weak, could become so rigid after being released from prison, as if she had been reborn.
In her expression, she couldn't help but have a little admiration.
For the first time since the birth of Du Zhong, Fan Peilan felt for the first time that the young apprentice in front of him was the person he could really rely on.
"Boy, don't toast or eat." Huang Bai snorted angrily, his tone was full of sarcasm, "Shi Wei, if you really dare to do this, don't blame me for tearing your face and suing you in court, and when the time comes, you should know very well whether the county magistrate will help you or help me." β
Before the words fell, I only heard a voice coming from outside the door: "Who is so arrogant that he dares to sue us Shi Langzhong." β
