Sang Xiaomei was ashamed and happy, holding her sister-in-law Huang Qin's hand, hiding her face in her arms and not daring to look at people.

Sang Mu was busy laying eggs, and said with a smile: "You say what you say, no matter what you say, what I say will count, aunt, and everything I say will count, and it will count!" -- The dowry and debts will be cleared, and they will not be collected separately, quack."

Daddy Sang also smiled and nodded in agreement.

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and said: "That's good, in fact, this bag of silver is your own." Speaking of this, he took out four ingots and five taels of silver from his bosom, a total of twenty taels, and put them in front of Sang Mu: "These twenty taels are also yours, a total of one hundred taels." ”

Mother Sang and Father Sang looked at each other, not knowing what Zuo Shaoyang meant.

Zuo Shaoyang looked at Sang Xiaomei and Huang Qin, and all three of them smiled.

It turned out that Zuo Shaoyang and the snitch Xiao Feiqu were talking on the bell tower of Qingfeng Temple that day, and learned that on the day Zuo Shaoyang rescued Xiao Feiqu, Xiao Feiwei was about to steal the shopkeeper of Mi Xingqu, and was injured by the ambush catcher, and Xiao Feirat took the sheep and touched a piece of the opponent's waist card, and learned that these catchers turned out to be from the capital, and I didn't know why at that time.

That day, Zuo Shaoyang listened to the shopkeeper Zhu in the fragrant tea shop, this rice shopkeeper owed a lot of people's debts, and immediately realized that the shopkeeper was likely to use high interest rates as bait to deceive people to lend him money, and the method used was to "tear down the east wall and make up the west wall", which is called "illegal fundraising" in modern society, the media disclosed many similar cases, Zuo Shaoyang immediately remembered that Xiao Feiqi had said that he climbed over the wall and entered the shopkeeper Qu's house to steal, thinking that the shopkeeper Qu must have a lot of money, and when he went in, he found that in addition to the furniture on the face, At that time, Zuo Shaoyang also joked that some shopkeepers were actually "outside the horse, and the inside was bran". I suspect that this shopkeeper is a big liar at all. Now that the capital is coming to arrest and squat, the case involved in the shopkeeper Qu is definitely not small, and he will soon close the net and arrest people!

He heard the shopkeeper Zhu say that Sang's mother lent all the money to the shopkeeper Qu, and he couldn't help but get anxious, he was not worried about Sang's mother, but for Sang Xiaomei, the so-called city gate fire affected the pond fish, if the Sang family owes this debt, I am afraid that they will not be able to pay it off in their lifetime, and Sang Xiaomei will be affected, after all, Sang Xiaomei has helped herself in her time of crisis, not to mention that she also has a good impression of Sang Xiaomei. So, he found out about it and helped her if he needed to.

At that time, Huang Qin asked Zuo Shaoyang for medicine, saying that Sang Xiaomei wanted him to help prepare a pill, and after eating it, she could foam at the mouth and her eyes were red like suffering from sheep epilepsy. Sang Xiaomei was going to pretend to be crazy on the day when the shopkeeper Zhu greeted her, so as to break off this family business. Zuo Shaoyang gave her the medicine and asked her what if she didn't come back if she pretended to be crazy and quit the marriage? Huang Qin was also dumbfounded, saying that they hadn't thought about it.

Zuo Shaoyang suggested that the money should be returned from the shopkeeper Qu without hiding from Sangmu, so that Sangmu would have the money to return to Zhu's shopkeeper. And can take this opportunity to force Sang's mother and his wife to agree not to arrange Sang Xiaomei's marriage again. Hearing this idea, Huang Qin immediately happily agreed.

Zuo Shaoyang inserted a dead branch at the door of Qingfeng Temple, summoned the snitch Xiao Feiqu, and asked in detail again about the situation that Xiao Feiwei saw when he entered the Qu shopkeeper's house that day, and confirmed his thoughts, so he asked Xiao Feiwei to help and went to the Qingxiang Tea Shop to steal the IOU that Sang Mu had lent to the Qu shopkeeper. This pair of Xiao Feisquirrels is naturally a piece of cake, and it will be in hand soon.

Zuo Shaoyang gave the IOU to Huang Qin, only saying that he stole it while Sang's mother was unprepared, and Huang Qin didn't suspect it, so he took the IOU and went to the shopkeeper of Mi Xingqu to ask for a refund. The shopkeeper Qu had not been arrested at this time, and he didn't know that he had been targeted by the arrest from the capital, so he still returned the eighty taels of silver to her immediately according to the previous practice of being able to refund at any time, took back the IOU, and ridiculed her twice.

Huang Qin took the money back, Huang Qin was worried that she would be discovered by her mother-in-law if she kept it, so she entrusted Zuo Shaoyang to keep it temporarily, and when the time was almost up, she would come forward to do it.

As a result, things turned out to be as Zuo Shaoyang expected, the shopkeeper Qu was arrested by the capital the next day, his family property was confiscated, and he had no property, and many creditors could not recover the money. Fortunately, Zuo Shaoyang took the first step and asked Huang Qin to return the money. The loss of the Sang family was avoided.

Huang Qin had already told Sang Xiaomei about this matter, and only the three of them knew about it, of course Zuo Shaoyang would not tell Sang Mu about this incident as it was, but simply said: "Here's the thing." I have heard many people say that the shopkeeper of Mi Xingqu deceived people everywhere and owed a lot of debts, and learned that your aunt lent him the money, so I was worried that the money would never return, so I secretly took your IOU and went to the shopkeeper Qu to return the money. Anyway, I heard that the shopkeeper Qu can lend money at any time, and if it's okay after a while, I'll lend him the money again. I didn't think it really made me guess that he was a complete liar, hehe. ”

This story is too unbelievable, and everyone looked at each other and didn't come back to their senses for a long time.

The medicine cabinet, which had been silent, laughed and applauded: "What a little Langzhong." Brave and resourceful, this thing is done beautifully, even the old man admires it a little! Hahaha"

Zuo Shaoyang smiled and thanked him.

Sang Mu finally came back to her senses a little: "It's you...... Stealing my IOU and going to the shopkeeper Qu to get the money back? ”

"Hmm!"

"I said, I can't find my IOU. - All this money, all my own? ”

"Eighty taels should be said to be the shopkeeper of Zhu, and these twenty taels are yours. It's all here. ”

After hearing this, Sang Mu breathed a long sigh of relief, and the whole person seemed to have collapsed, slumped on the bamboo chair. Father Sang looked east and west, and muttered: "So, this tea shop is still mine, and I don't owe him money, nor do I owe you money?" I don't owe anyone any money? ”

Zuo Shaoyang nodded.

"Ha, haha, hahaha......" Father Sang supported the armrests of the bamboo chair with both hands, looked up to the sky and laughed, laughing while crying.

Shopkeeper Zhu was stunned for a long time, and gave a thumbs up: "It's really good, don't say it's an old man, even the old man admires it now, if this silver is your own, it's just a righteous squandering of money, but now it's you alert, and you have collected the money, this courage, that's really admirable." Hahaha"

Zuo Shaoyang snorted coldly and ignored him. Although Shopkeeper Zhu praised himself so much, Zuo Shaoyang still had an unspeakable dislike for him, maybe his lust found the wrong person and found Sang Xiaomei, so although he was straightforward, he still couldn't let Zuo Shaoyang have a good impression of him.

Several other old men also nodded frequently, and couldn't stop admiring Zuo Shaoyang's alertness and resourcefulness.

Huang Qin smiled: "Mother-in-law, we can go to Mrs. Wang now to talk about this marriage." ”

Sang Mu relieved herself, propped up her hands with both hands, straightened up from the bamboo chair, and said, "No! If this is the case, then this marriage cannot be done like this. ”

Zuo Shaoyang sneered and squinted at her. He had already expected this result.

Sang Mu said: "Xiao Langzhong, you helped me return the money and avoided my loss, I am indeed very grateful, just this point, my wife agrees to give you the third girl as a wife......

The medicine cabinet on the side sneered: "Why are you rushing this, you are seeing that your daughter has sheep epilepsy, and she can't get married anyway, but fortunately, I like your daughter in this humble boy, and I just want to be a favor!" Hey hey"

Mother Sang didn't dare to offend the medicine cabinet, but she didn't hear it, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Young Master Zuo, the third girl can be promised to you, but this dowry still has to be given, how can there be no such thing as not giving a dowry to the girl in vain?" I can't stand people's jokes. ”

Zuo Shaoyang looked at her expressionlessly.

Sang Xiaomei's face was pale and she slowly lowered her head.

Zhu Yaojie said loudly: "Mrs. Sang, this is my old man going to say a fair word, what you just said, no matter what Xiao Langzhong said, what you said will be counted, the dowry debt will be cleared, and no other dowry will be accepted!" How can you go back on your word? ”

Sang Mu twisted her neck and said, "Who went back on their word?" I'm talking about the dowry debt, and now the money is my own, that is to say, I don't owe Xiaolang the money, and there is no debt, so I can't clear the two, and the dowry will naturally be collected! ”

Zhu was stunned for a moment, took a sip, pointed at Sang Mu and said, "You mother-in-law is really ......, alas! I don't bother to care, anyway, your daughter is crazy, and the Zuo family may not be willing to spend money to marry a madman and go home as a daughter-in-law. Don't dream! ”

Sang Mu was a little embarrassed, but she still ignored the stubble in the medicine cabinet, and said to Zuo Shaoyang: "Young Master Zuo, you have done us a great favor, and we won't be excessive, so this dowry, just count less, and give you ten times cheaper, and it will be seventy times!" ”

"Seventy?" Zhu Medicine Cabinet sneered and said, "Lady Sang, aren't you deliberately prevaricating others?" Do you see Guizhitang like this now, like he can get seventy times? When he gets together enough for seventy, I'm afraid that your daughters will be as old as you! ”

Sang Mu pouted: "Then I don't care." Anyway, whoever marries my daughter will have to take seventy yuan. ”

Zhu Medicine Cabinet scolded with a smile: "I've seen a thick-skinned person, but I've never seen you so thick-skinned!" You're using your daughter as a cash cow! You just promised Xiaolangzhong, Miss Sang's marriage is her own decision, you can't arrange it! ”

"Yes! That's right, she can take a fancy to anyone, as long as she can get the dowry, she can marry the three girls. If there is no dowry, even if you like it, it will not work! ”

"You guys really are! Only recognize money, not people! "I wish the medicine cabinet is not good.

Sang Mu was very proud, and said with a shy round belly: "That's right, if you are rich, you are an uncle, and you can marry the three girls of my family!" I don't object to Xiao Langzhong marrying him, as long as he can come up with the money, he can take the door immediately! - Young Master Zuo, you are quite capable, and the old body believes that you can make up seventy times to marry the little sister. Right? Our little sister has a deep affection for you, and even took out the dowry to pay off your debts, this affection, you will not live up to it, hehehe. ”

PS: "War Report"

Today, the battle was extremely fierce, and our army planned to storm the No. 6 position, but the enemy had no choice but to defend it to the death, and although the soldiers fought bloodily, they still failed to capture it.

The defense of Position 7 was also extremely brutal, and the enemy's counterattack from behind was extremely fierce. Finally, after nightfall, the position was lost, and our troops retreated to position No. 8.

After yesterday's large-scale bombardment, the Shuyou army today engaged in eight more waves of bombardment, providing strong support for repelling the enemy's attack.

The military headquarters decided that when the Ming Dynasty was announced, it would organize an offensive of three more and nine thousand words again, and it was necessary to recapture the No. 7 position!
