Section 125 Miser
"Ali's father is a bastard, where is this to marry a daughter? It's clearly to sell Ali. ”
"That's enough bride price, enough for dozens of families to eat for several years. What if Allie is a widow? As long as the man likes it, it's fine. Second marriage? It's okay, that's the eldest brother of the leader of our Panshi Village, and they still marry in the past. ”
"Ali is really blessed, such a good man, and he can afford so many dowries, but it's really not good to change someone else."
The people from Pinglin Village came.
The people from Zhangpu Village came.
People from Qingyuanzhai also came.
The scene was very large, and the congratulatory people came one after another. Tianhao released the news more than a month ago, and Guangsheng and Jianping now respect him, and the wedding is naturally full of face.
When there are many people, the mouth is mixed.
A group of old women who are not a threat in terms of physical strength and combat are easily approachable. The noisy discussion unconsciously changed the subject, and soon changed from "bride price" to "dowry".
"People married Ali and gave so much dowry, Youlu must have a lot of dowry for his daughter, right?"
"That is, even if there is no majority of the bride price, at least half of it must be justified."
"Ali is a blessed one. Before he passed the door, he was hurt by a man, and his father Youlu looked good, I estimate that the weight of this dowry will not be less, and it must be similar to the bride price sent by the man. ”
All these discussions are from people outside Shanyuanzhai. It's very chaotic, there are a lot of people, and it's impossible to tell who brought the wrong topic first. But this kind of discussion is not malicious, and it is purely an opinion on the marriage. The location of Shanyuan Village is relatively closed, there are not many people walking around, and there are few times in the village that are as lively as today, not to mention that marriage is a happy event, and no one will be embarrassed to get off the stage...... So there was no interjection, and the villagers of Shanyuanzhai who knew the inside story invariably remained silent, paying attention to the development of things with complex eyes and mentality.
Among them, there is also a bit of faint expectation.
Ali feels like the happiest woman in the world. When Tianfeng walked in to greet her, she had been following this man all the time, and she had not been separated for a second. She was afraid that this was a dream, and she had to be with Tianfeng all the time so that she wouldn't wake up. Otherwise, the reality is that the little girl who sells matches, and as soon as the fire is extinguished, the world will forever fall into an endless dark abyss.
What should be said has been said, and what has been done has been done. Tianhao looked at the same, smiled and waved his hand, and asked the welcoming team to change direction and go home.
As soon as he walked out of the gate of Ali's house, he saw Xu Kun hurriedly running from the opposite side, and gathered Tianhao to muttered a few words in his ear, and his face changed suddenly in an instant.
"Wait, everybody."
Tianhao's expression was gloomy, he turned around, and strode in front of Ali's father, Youlu, with a loud voice that was loud enough for everyone present to hear: "Why don't you give Ali a dowry?" ”
This was asked very directly, and everyone at the scene closed their mouths and was silent. Countless pairs of eyes looked at Youlu from different directions, mocking, mocking, pity, indifference, and schadenfreude......
"Why didn't I give a dowry? You, what are you talking about? Like a cat whose tail has been stepped on with a heavy foot, Yulu screamed desperately. He trotted in front of Ali, tore off the burden she was carrying on her shoulders, opened it in front of everyone, took out a beast skin jacket from it, held it high in the air like a treasure, and raised it vigorously: "Oh, do you see it, who said I didn't give her a dowry?" What is it? ”
The color of the leather jacket is very mixed, black and gray and white, and it can be seen that it is made of several rabbit skins pieced together.
Tianhao's eyes widened, obviously shocked by the appearance of this leather jacket. He opened his mouth and swallowed his throat unconsciously, his expression and the rhythm of his words were a little hesitant: "...... This one...... You say this is a dowry for Ali? ”
"yes!" Youlu didn't think there was anything wrong with that.
"That's the only one?" Tianhao accentuated his tone again: "Only this one leather jacket? ”
"yes!" Youlu's thinking is obviously different from ordinary people, and his face is honest and undisguised.
Guangshou, the leader of Shanyuan Village, stood from a distance and watched this scene, and couldn't help lowering his head, with a little shame and amusement, and slowly covered his face with his hands.
A low, dense "buzzing" sound quickly sounded around them, like swarms of wasps flying in the air.
That's a lot of people whispering.
The volume is getting louder and louder. Soon, people stopped hiding it, and all kinds of discussions became clear enough for others to hear.
"Ali's father is afraid that he is poor and crazy! When his daughter got married for such a big thing, he only gave a torn leather jacket as a dowry? ”
"You don't know, Youlu has always had this temper. In the past, when Ali got married, his father also asked the man for a lot of things, and the dowry was just a few catties of dried meat. He usually likes to take advantage of himself in the village, and we all know that he is greedy, but we didn't expect him to be so greedy. ”
"That's too much, I say. There are so many dowry gifts from Panshi Village, and Youlu's family can't put it down. Ali is his own daughter! It's just that he is ruthless, but he has to give the man some face, so he can do it...... He is not afraid of trouble when people come to him in the future? ”
The smile completely disappeared from Tianhao's face, he stood in place and did not move, his eyes completely became cold.
"Today is my eldest brother's marriage...... Tell me, what do you mean? Raising his hand, he pointed at Youlu's forehead, as if his fingertips were daggers, enough to pierce the ugly head on the other side.
Youlu knew that what he had done was not authentic, and he was a little panicked, but he also had enough confidence. Moving half a step to the side, he avoided Tianhao's fingertips, and shouted unhappily in his throat: "I said that it was my daughter, and I was willing to give as many things as I wanted." What happened to a leather jacket? If you don't want it, take it back. ”
"Do you think I'm a good bully?" Tianhao's chest was constantly rising and falling, and the air suddenly exhaled from his lungs drove the strengthened vocal cords into a thunderous roar: "You asked me for so many things...... Bride price...... The rules are very important, since I follow them and do them first, why do I have to discount them when I come to you? ”
Youlu was a little afraid of the young man in front of him, he was a leader of the village after all. But the greed in his heart completely drove away his reason, he felt that today was the day of marriage, and the other party didn't dare to do anything to himself no matter how angry he was: "You figure it out, it's up to me to decide how much dowry to give." ”
The chatter around got louder.
"Youlu is really shameless."
"It's good that my dad isn't like him, otherwise he might as well let me die."
"Ali's dowry is only a torn leather jacket, which is really excessive."
Tianhao's expression was a little strange at the moment. The corners of his mouth curled upwards, but he didn't smile, and the hard, cold lines of his face indicated that he was making some kind of decision.
Suddenly, he raised his hand and yelled into the distance: "Brother Guangshou!" ”
It felt bad to be shouted at directly, and Mitsushou wanted to turn around and run away, and for the first time he regretted the idea of why he wanted to stand in this position to watch the excitement, but it was too late. I could only agree with a hard head, and with a wry smile, I walked over slowly.
"Today is the day of my eldest brother's marriage. To be honest, I never dreamed that this would happen. Tianhao crossed his arms in front of his chest with a grim expression: "Why don't you give me an idea and see how this matter should be solved?" ”
"You're embarrassing me!" Guangshou is not a fool, he actually saw the whole thing clearly from the beginning. The sneer on his face turned into a smile, he glanced deeply at Tianhao, turned around, raised his hand and patted Youlu's shoulder, and said seriously: "You asked for so many dowries from others, so you gave such a small dowry...... Tut-tut, Youlu, I didn't say you, Ali is your daughter! ”
Youlu was originally a little afraid, Guangshou was his leader after all. But hearing him say this, Youlu felt that Guangshou should be on his side, and suddenly had the courage to stand up and harden his chest to the end: "So what? Because she is my daughter, I say I can give as much as I want. ”
Guangshou turned around, turned his back to Youlu, and glanced at Tianhao, who nodded knowingly, and without saying much, he took two steps forward directly, and issued a fierce threat full of extreme fear at Youlu.
"Okay! You give me a reminder that you will pay for it. ”
……
Marriage is a happy event, especially Tianfeng's special identity, he is not only the head of the hundred people in Panshi Village, but also Tianhao's brother.
A few days later, the welcoming team returned to Panshi Village and held a grand wedding celebration.
Guangsheng brought the people from Pinglin Village to congratulate him, and there were a lot of gifts.
Although the scale of Zhangpu Village in Jianping is not large, it also sends a lot of things.
Tianhao ordered dozens of deer to be slaughtered, and the freshest fish was delivered from the fishing village, plus this year's newly brewed fruit wine, everyone could get a delicious meal.
Tianfeng felt great joy and at the same time a little uneasy. He found Tianhao: "Third child, wouldn't this be too much?" The pomp and circumstance is just too big. ”
"You're my eldest brother, if you don't even pay attention to things like your marriage, what else really matters?" Tianhao smiled and said with relief: "Actually, I want to take this opportunity to fix this day every year in the future and become a festival in our Panshi Village." Of course, this time you got married just in time, just in time, just by coincidence. ”
"Holidays?" Tianfeng's heart was a little settled, but he didn't understand what Tianhao said.
"After a busy year, I have to give everyone a chance to rest and release." Tianhao said seriously: "Autumn is the harvest season, the grain is enough, and we have many good things that other villages don't have." Take out a part to make everyone happy and happy, and you will have higher motivation in the coming year. This man must have hope in life. What's the point of living if it's like this forever, year after year, day after day? ”
Tianfeng chewed these words slowly, and said to Tianhao sincerely: "Third child, thank you. ”
"What is there to thank between our brothers?" Tian Hao stretched out his hand to wrap his arms around Tianfeng's shoulder, and his tone carried a trace of emotion that even he didn't notice: "We are brothers, and we are the closest people in the world." If we can't trust each other, and we have to fight with each other, then it's really pointless. ”
……
Some bad news is quietly spreading in the mountain source village.
The Panshi Village has canceled the deal negotiated with us.
They don't want our ore and refuse to supply eggs, cheese, dried fish and salt.
It's a terrible thing.
The cheese tastes very good, and the people of Shanyuanzhai are also willing to exchange grain for eggs. What's more, the dried fish produced in Panshi Village is very delicious, and people who are tired of eating animal meat want to change their taste.
The point of discussion was quickly pointed at Youlu.
More and more news proves that the reason why Panshizhai suddenly changed its attitude was because Youlu was extremely greedy for Ali's dowry, which angered Tianhao.
Oh, yes! He's the leader of the Rock Village. Although he can't overstep his authority to punish Youlu as a member of Shanyuanzhai, he can stop the transaction between the two villages and let others bear the anger.
Nima's, why?
Youlu provoked public anger almost overnight.
In the beginning, the situation did not become particularly serious. Acquaintances who usually have a good relationship have come to persuade Youlu to hurry up and give Ali a dowry. In fact, it is not difficult for the young leader of Panshi Village to speak, not to mention that people have given you so many dowries, and it is normal to take out half of them and send them back.
People who are extremely greedy have unimaginable arrogance and stubbornness.
Youlu refused without hesitation. He was stern: "That's my thing, I can do whatever I want." ”
I'm not short of cheese, and I'm not short of eggs. I have all these things, and I have a lot of them at home!
The anger that enveloped the entire Shanyuan Village quickly turned into rage.
I don't know who led the way, but people quickly gathered together, stormed Yuroku's house, and snatched everything.
Youlu was grabbed by a group of strong men, and countless fists came at him, beating him all over the blood. The women didn't stop them, they stood aside and sneered, reminiscent of what happened to Ally, the ruthless father. The old people are old, and even if a few want to speak out to stop it, they don't dare to anger most of them, so they can only shrink aside and remain silent.
The little ones also interjected. Holding the stones they had picked up, they burrowed into the gaps in the crowd and smashed them at Youlu.
It's a game where it's very much about watching the adults do what they do, and they do it.
Enough of fighting, Yulu also became dying.
I don't know who shouted first, "Chop off Youlu's head and send it to Panshi Village to show them".
Admittedly, this is a good idea.
Perhaps this will dispel the anger of the young leader of Panshi Village and reopen the trade between the two villages.
A sharp steel axe, a strong enough man, that's enough.
Guangshou was still standing in the distance, watching the deafening applause erupt from the dense crowd, watching a sturdy man with an upper body raise Youlu's head high.
He let out a heavy sigh.
"Ah Hao...... Really smart! ”
