Chapter 39: Finalized
Zeng Chengchun's mind is complicated.
Of course he wants these forty taels of silver, but Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua are his biological daughters after all, to put it mildly, what is the difference between his behavior and selling his daughter, and he still sells two at a time, and the sale is not ordinarily far, from now on, it will be difficult to see each other.
Therefore, Zeng Chengchun at this time felt a little guilty and reluctant to his daughter.
But compared to this guilt and reluctance, what he wants more is still the forty taels of silver, with this silver, all the problems of the family can be solved, not only can buy two acres of land, but also can marry the eldest for the second child to study.
But in order not to let his daughter hate him, and at the same time to leave a good impression on the main family, he can't be too straightforward, he wants to use this poor father-daughter relationship to keep his daughter's concern for him and this family.
It's a pity that Tian Shuilan didn't understand his thoughts, seeing that his hand holding the contract trembled, he looked at Zeng Rong for a while and then at Zeng Hua's, thinking that he was going to regret it or that he wanted to keep Zeng Hua or something, so he hurriedly pushed him and said eagerly to Granny Ding: "Press, press, let's press, I am not willing to let go of the two children, the children who have worked hard to raise will leave, which one is not uncomfortable to be a father and a mother?" ”
After speaking, she also squeezed out a few tears, stepped forward and wanted to hug Zeng Hua, Zeng Hua shook her off, gave her a contemptuous look and scolded her: "Mother, why didn't you say this when you sold me and my eldest sister?" ”
"This kid, isn't that also impossible? Forget it, you're still young, and I can't tell you about it. Remember, after going to the capital, you have to listen to the words of the eldest sister, don't be willful, don't be lazy, don't spend money blindly, save for your second brother, he wants to study, take scientific examinations and marry, there are many places to spend money. ”
Tian Shuilan has already calculated, regardless of the family, they have forty taels of silver in their hands, as well as this silver collar and this silk cloth can be exchanged for some silver, and the cost of marrying the boss can be removed, and they can also buy two or three acres of land.
Taking a step back, even if the family life is still not improving after a few years, as long as she is in charge, even if Zeng Rong doesn't care about her, can she still ignore Ah Fu and Ah Gui?
Therefore, she told Zeng Hua, and this was also said to her man, so that he could quickly press the handprint, and the benefits in the future would definitely be indispensable, if she wanted a daughter, she would give birth to another one.
"Or, Ah Rong, you go alone and leave Ah Hua behind?" Zeng Chengchun asked tentatively.
He also just reacted, Zeng Hua was brought up by Zeng Rong, and his feelings are no better than others, with Zeng Hua here, Zeng Rong will definitely not be able to give up this family.
Moreover, with Zeng Hua here, he can help a lot with housework, and he can also free up his hands to take care of the work in the fields.
"No, Ah Hua must come with me, if you don't agree, don't want to keep these things." There was unquestionable strength in Zeng Rong's tone.
"Yes, our old lady is also very distressed about Ah Hua, saying that this little girl is not an ordinary Lingxiu, it is a pity to nest in this countryside, and she happened to go to the city to have a companion with her sister, otherwise, our old lady is still worried that Miss Ah Rong will not be able to stay in the capital if she is homesick." After Granny Ding finished speaking, she glanced at the patriarch.
The patriarch received the signal and hurriedly said to Zeng Chengchun: "Da Chun, for the sake of the child, you still press this handprint, others can't find such an opportunity." ”
"That's not the case, if Ah Hua doesn't go, let us Ah Yue go, our Ah Yue happens to be the same age as Ah Hua." Zeng Chengqiu hurriedly brought it up.
"And what about our family Ah Yun, what kind of Ding mother-in-law, do you still want people in your main family, let me tell you, my daughter is not bad, she is as old as Ah Rong, and the two of them often do things together." Zeng Chengxia also asked with a smile.
"No, our lord's family came to repay this life-saving grace, and secondly, to see that Ah Rong and Ah Hua's two children are smart and kind, I said this as soon as I came, if Ah Rong's father and mother agree, we will take them away, if they don't agree, we can't force it, our lord's family is not short of people." Granny Ding's face was a little tense, and she felt that the three brothers of the Zeng family were a little too unfamiliar.
Seeing that Granny Ding didn't make her words clear, Granny Tang emphasized, "These twenty taels of silver can only be left for you after pressing the handprint." ”
"Da Chun, don't think about it, press it, if it weren't for this child's big life, how could you have this blessing today, and you will be a good person." The third uncle helped to say something.
Seeing this, Zeng Chengchun didn't hesitate anymore, stretched out his hand and pressed it on the ink brought by Granny Ding, and then solemnly pressed it on the paper.
Granny Ding took the contract and put it in her arms, and then said to Zeng Rong and Zeng Hua: "Our old lady has set off tomorrow, and the carriage will appear here on time." ”
"Okay." Zeng Rong nodded.
Sending off Granny Ding and her party, she returned to the house again, and saw that there was only a gift box with snacks left on the table, and the rest of them didn't need to ask, they must have been put away by Tian Shuilan.
"While the patriarch and grandma and the third uncle are here, mother, you take out the two pieces of silk and give them to the eldest brother, and the people have made it clear that they will be kept for the future sister-in-law to make a wedding dress, don't keep them secretly." Zeng Rong said.
If she didn't open it, Tian Shuilan would definitely take the two pieces of silk and exchange them for cotton cloth or sell them and keep the silver for herself.
"Yes, Da Chun, we are all witnesses to today's events, your bowl of water is even." The third uncle also knocked this nephew.
Tian Shuilan saw that everyone was staring at her, muttered, went back to the house and brought out the box, Zeng Rong sent the box directly into Zeng Fuxiang's house, and then went to Zeng Guixiang's house to find a few pieces of cut paper, and divided a few pieces of snacks on the table to bring back for everyone.
After sending them away, Zeng Rong asked Zeng Fuxiang to go to the academy with her, and she had to bring the things back from the academy.
When he was packing his luggage in the academy, Zeng Guixiang happened to come, Zeng Rong told him about the "adventures" of the past two days, and told him a few words, so that he could think more about his eldest brother and not only care about himself.
Zeng Guixiang learned that he was absent from such an important occasion, and immediately jumped up angrily, accusing Zeng Rong of not having him in his heart, and also accusing him of having no status in this family.
In fact, he didn't have much reluctance about Zeng Rong's trip away from home, on the contrary, he was more excited and expectant, he was not like the few dirt buns at home, he didn't even know what the cabinet scholars were, all he could see was the forty taels of silver in front of him.
He's different, he sees a great future ahead of him.
