Chapter 167
Jiang Xuehe was very surprised, she never thought that the Lin family could say such a thing, it was her own daughter! Isn't this forcing Jiang Xinghua to death? However, she only found out today that Jiang Xinghua was still tough.
In the past, because Jiang Xinghua was too wooden, and she always followed Jiang Taohua without talking, Jiang Xuehe's impression of her has never been very good. Today's incident made her look down on Jiang Xinghua, and besides, she had already helped Jiang Xinghua return the money, how could she really let Wang Dafu pull people away.
After Jiang Xinghua was stopped, she cried to Jiang Xuehe: "Fourth sister, I know that you have good intentions, but if something like this happened today, even if I wasn't really sold to Yihong Courtyard, I wouldn't be able to be a man!" It's better to let me die directly, or one day I will be humiliated to death. ”
Isn't it? Even if Jiang Xinghua was not sold, but she was said like that by the Lin family in front of so many people, she would not be able to raise her head in the village in the future. She was originally good-looking, and there are many singles in the village who can't marry a daughter-in-law, and she will definitely use Lin's words to humiliate Jiang Xinghua everywhere in the future.
Lin also felt a little guilty when she heard this, but she was also in a hurry! How could she be willing to humiliate her own daughter like that? But she really can't afford to pay back! Lin felt that if Jiang Xinghua was to blame, then Jiang Xuehe should be blamed for not saving her. As long as Jiang Xuehe is willing to help, why should she use Jiang Xinghua to pay off her debts?
Jiang Dashan didn't feel guilty, anyway, he didn't push people out. When he saw Jiang Xuehe like this, he felt that Jiang Xuehe would definitely come forward to help, and Jiang Xinghua would definitely not have to go to Yihong Courtyard at that time. But she is humiliated like this today, and it is impossible for her to marry a good family in the future, but she can sell it to a large family as a concubine.
That's right! Jiang Dashan slapped his thigh, he could have been sold to a big family as a concubine! He heard that the two younger sisters in Gu Siyan's family were bought by Cao Laosan for more than a thousand taels of silver! Their apricot blossoms are no worse than Gu Siyan's two younger sisters!
Thinking of this, Jiang Dashan hurriedly said: "Uncle Wang, let's give me two more days, I've already thought of a way!" ”
Wang Dafu raised his eyebrows: "What can you do?" ”
Jiang Dashan rubbed his hands and smiled: "Isn't there a Cao Laosan in the county?" I heard that Cao Laosan loves to collect beauties, you see that my daughter is also good-looking, so it is better to sell it to him! I heard that the Gu family sister was sold for more than a thousand taels! ”
Ruyi Gambling House is not Cao Laosan opened? Wang Dafu is very clear about these things.
"What are you dreaming about? Even if this daughter of your family has a bit of beauty, she can't compare with the Gu family sisters. Wang Dafu said disdainfully, "You are authentic countrymen, although you gave birth to a beautiful daughter, but no matter how good-looking this daughter is, she is just a village girl." But the Gu family sisters are different, the Gu family's ancestors were officials, but they came here when they were down. For Boss Cao, it is not only a sister flower, but also a down-and-out daughter! What kind of thing is this daughter of yours? Is she literate? Do you know how to play piano, chess, calligraphy and painting? The two young ladies of the Gu family understand it! ”
In fact, Gu Dandan doesn't know how to play the piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, she doesn't like to learn this, but Gu Shuangshuang has learned some fur, which can meet Cao Laosan's taste. But this is not important, Wang Dafu's task now is to dispel Jiang Dashan's idea of selling his daughter.
Jiang Dashan thought that Jiang Xinghua really didn't know anything but farm work, so he asked again: "What about my other daughter?" A pair of sisters with good looks, although they can't sell more than a thousand taels without talent, but five hundred taels of head office, right? ”
Jiang Taohua was frightened and cried: "Mother, I don't want to be sold to that kind of place." ”
The Lin family also hugged Jiang Taohua and cried: "Peach Blossom, don't worry, as long as your mother is here, no one can take you away." ”
Jiang Dashan said impatiently: "What are you for? Can you pay back the five hundred taels? Or do you really care about your son? ”
Lin Shi became more and more desperate when she heard this, one was her most beloved son, and the other was her most beloved daughter, the palms and backs of her hands were rubbed, how should she choose?
Wang Dafu has never seen anything like this, speaking of which, how many beautiful girls in this county are unknown to their Cao family? Especially the sisters of the Jiang family, even if they didn't know it before, Cao Laosan also knew about it after Jiang Xuehe's business started. Even Cao Laosan commented on several sisters of the Jiang family in front of him, saying that the sisters of the Jiang family have their own appearance, the intelligence of the second room, the diligence of the third room, and the dullness of the big room.
"Enough, less nonsense! The third master of our family has no interest in your two daughters at all, and it can only be worth ten taels at most! According to the rules, after arriving at these ten taels, you can be given grace until next month. ”
When Jiang Dashan heard that he could be given grace until next month, he hurriedly said: "Then ten taels, Uncle Wang quickly drag her away!" ”
Although he is not sure if he will have money next month, this kind of thing can drag on for a day!
"Enough! How can the daughter of our Jiang family sell herself? Uncle Jiang sold the apricot blossoms today, did he want our entire Jiangjia Village to be ridiculed? If there are unmarried sisters in the clan who are affected by this incident, it will be difficult to say that they are married in the future, and Uncle Jiang wants to become a sinner in the entire Jiang family? Jiang Xuehe said coldly.
Although the big house and the second and third rooms are broken, after all, they are still relatives connected by blood, but if the big house has a little mistake, it will affect the other two rooms. Now that they have two little girls in the second room, they must not affect her two sisters because the big room is shameless.
Moreover, there are many relatives in the village who have not been out of five suits with Jiang Dashan, and Jiang Dashan's doing this will also affect other Jiang family girls. Jiang Xuehe felt that Jiang Dashan was getting older and more confused, and he was actually doing such a thing, and he was not afraid that he would be kicked out by the village chief.
Jiang Dashan sneered: "Sister He'er also doesn't have a backache when she stands and talks, since you insist on refusing to help our family, then why should I care about the reputation of the other girls in your second room?" Anyway, when they see me now, they won't even call me uncle. ”
Jiang Xinghua couldn't cry: "Fourth sister, you still let me die, how can I survive in that kind of pickled place?" ”
Jiang Xuehe said: "Since Uncle Jiang insists on selling the apricot blossoms, it is better to sell them to me, I am willing to pay one hundred taels of silver to buy the apricot blossoms." ”
Jiang Dashan's eyes rolled: "No, it's not worth the price if you sell it to you, if you sell it, it will cost at least five hundred taels of silver!" ”
Jiang Xuehe's face was even colder: "In this case, Uncle Jiang will sell the apricot blossoms to the gambling house for ten taels of silver." ”
Jiang Xuehe was about to leave after speaking, Jiang Dashan immediately regretted it, he wanted to get more money, if Jiang Xuehe was angry, what was the use of the ten taels?
"Slow, one hundred taels is one hundred taels, hurry up and bring the silver!" Jiang Dashan hurriedly stopped people.
Jiang Xuehe said to Wang Dafu: "Mr. Wang should have a deed of sale there, right?" Take one and sign it to Xinghua, and Xinghua will be the maid of our second room from now on. As for the one hundred taels of silver, I will ask Shopkeeper Yang to send it to Mr. Wang in a while. ”
Wang Dafu said with a smile: "It's easy to say, I believe that the owner of Huayufang will not repay the debt." ”
After he finished speaking, he took a deed of sale and gave it to Jiang Xuehe, Jiang Xuehe filled in the blanks such as name and silver taels, and brought it to Jiang Xinghua.
"Xinghua is willing to sell herself to our second room as a maid?" Jiang Xuehe asked.
If it was usual, Jiang Xinghua would definitely be unwilling. Even if she has a hard time in the big house, she is still a free body, where is she willing to sell and become a slave? However, at this moment, she has no better choice, thinking that the maid in the second room is probably easier than the girl in the big room. Her cousin has always been at odds with Dafang, and her willingness to help at this moment is mostly for the sake of her two younger sisters in the family, and she shouldn't have a lot of opinions without knowing what to do.
"Thank you, Madame, for saving me." Jiang Xinghua quickly changed her words, and she didn't want to look at the people in the big house anymore.
Jiang Dashan was a little anxious when he heard this, he was willing to sell a hundred taels of silver, but he didn't expect that the one hundred taels of silver would not reach him at all. If he had a hundred taels of silver in his hand as the principal, maybe he would be able to earn five hundred taels? Wouldn't it be possible to settle all the debts at once?
He wanted to give any more opinions, but Jiang Xuehe didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, and directly took Jiang Xinghua back to the third room, and left the rest to Wang Dafu and Yang Ermiao.
Jiang Xuehe used to directly face the Lin family, because she had a bad impression of the Lin family, but she didn't expect that Jiang Dashan was as good as the Lin family. What kind of vision does the Zhou family really value such a shameless son? doesn't even know how to be a man, do you expect him to get ahead on the gold list?
She now knows why Jiang Qingsen is this virtue, it is definitely hereditary.
Zhou saw that Jiang Xuehe had brought Jiang Xinghua back, and felt strange, so he asked, and Jiang Xuehe told Zhou what had just happened to Zhou. After hearing this, Zhou's eyes immediately turned red.
"How could the couple do such a thing? If we really want to sell apricot blossoms to that kind of place, we won't be able to raise our heads in the whole Jiangjia Village in the future! ”
Although Zhou doesn't like Jiang Xinghua very much, in the end it is her granddaughter, and it will be her face that will be lost when the time comes. What's more, this matter will offend the entire clan, and at that time, the entire Jiangjia Village will only have no place for them.
Jiang Xuehe said: "Since I spent one hundred taels of silver to buy the apricot blossoms, I will be in charge of everything about the apricot blossoms in the future, and they only need to pay back four hundred taels in the big house." But no matter how much I have, I will never let go, even if they ask for your old man, they will trouble your old man, don't be soft-hearted. ”
Zhou hesitated: "It's okay if I can't see them, but if I do......"
Jiang Xuehe said: "I will find a girl to serve grandma, and everything will be stopped by the third uncle and the girl in the future." Grandma should also think more about Brother Ya'er, Brother Ya'er is studying well now, and maybe he will be able to embark on a career in the future. But the reputation of the scholar must not be ruined, if you continue to indulge the big house, the future of Brother Ya will be damaged in the future, do you really bear it? ”
Of course, the Zhou family couldn't bear it, Jiang Qingya was her biggest hope now, and she naturally had to keep this hope, so she could only grit her teeth and agree.
