"yes, yes." Chu Rou responded vigorously, looking at Qin Ying expectantly, trying to exchange Chu Chu's pitiful appearance for his pity.

Qin Ying listened expressionlessly, didn't raise his head, and said indifferently, "Our family's affairs, the lady has the final say." ”

“……”

It's really choking to death.

Jiang Chuge washed the dishes and came out, shook the water in his hands twice, and when he heard this, he smiled with satisfaction, this ice cube is still very good at talking at a critical time.

These two people, one does not enter the oil and salt, and the other does not melt into the mud, Su Shi is so angry that the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys are pumped together, and they are simply a fart. Sitting on the ground, he still rolled around, howling and crying, "Oh, my life is hard, I pulled the two children up with a handful of and urine, and I chose a good family for Jiang Chuge and lived a good life, but my own daughter can't even afford the dowry...... Good daughter, it's useless to be a mother, they all say that it's difficult for a stepmother, no matter how good you are, you don't appreciate people, and in the end you are fed a white-eyed wolf, why am I still alive, forget it when I'm dead! ”

Chu Rou also walked over with tears in her eyes and comforted: "Mother, don't be like this, it's not your fault, it's all your daughter's bad life, and I can't blame anyone." ”

"My poor boy!" Su Shi hugged Chu Rou and cried a handful of snot and tears.

Jiang Chuge grinned in disgust, she was really a drama girl, and if she didn't cry every few days, she was sorry for the overflowing artistic cells.

"Alright, don't cry!"

Old Man Chu really couldn't stand it, he was troubled by the two of them, and the person who had always been kind also lost his temper, and reprimanded, "This is still in front of my uncle, isn't it a shame?" ”

Su Shi said with tears, "Rou'er can't get married, if I really miss the talented man of the Wang family, I will take Rou'er and jump into the river together, and then my life will be gone, and I'm afraid of being embarrassed?" ”

Jiang Chuge sneered, walked over and said, "As long as the river in our village can't drown people, if the stepmother really doesn't want to live, just find a rope and hang it on the beam of the house, how happy it is." ”

"You ......" Su Shi was so angry that he was choking again.

"Enough!"

Old Man Chu drank Su's words with a calm face, and also said to Jiang Chuge: "Xi'er, you don't have to say a few words." How can you say that it's all a family, does it look good like this? ”

Jiang Chuge shrugged, she didn't think that Su and Chu Rou were a family member in her heart, but she didn't want to make Old Man Chu angry, so she no longer spoke quickly.

After the massage, Qin Ying stopped his hand and said to Chu Laohan, "Move your legs and try it." ”

Old Man Chu tentatively moved his legs twice, and he really reacted, he could curl up and shrink, he couldn't help but be surprised, and looked up at Qin Ying and Jiang Chuge, "It's really, I can move." ”

"Great, Dad, I said you will get better!"

Jiang Chuge was very happy.

Qin Ying saw that Jiang Chuge was happy, and inexplicably happy, went over to wash his hands, and said, "I'll make a crutch when I go back, and I can try to go to the ground tomorrow." ”

Old Man Chu nodded again and again, he had been paralyzed on the kang for so long, he almost forgot what it was like to walk.

Unlike their cheers, Su Shi and Chu Rou were still worried.

Su Shi made a bitter face and said, "Her father, it's a good thing that you can go to the ground, but our shop hasn't opened for so long, and the piglets are gone, I don't know how long it will take to reopen, I can afford to wait, it's nothing to accompany you to eat bran vegetables, but Rou'er can't afford to wait, if this family matter is not settled as soon as possible, when Wang Xiucai passes the township and tries to become a lifter, maybe he will be robbed of the daughter of a big family, what if he can't look down on our Rou'er?" ”

Chu Rou is also worried about this, she is very confident in her appearance, but in terms of family background, how can she compare to those young ladies in the city?

People go to high places and water flows to low places, and when the time comes, if Xiu Cailang falls in love with someone else's young lady, she will have no place to cry.

Old Man Chu's swarthy face sank a little, "It's okay." Xi'er, you go to the shop, there is a long box buried in the pile of bricks behind the door, you go and get it. ”

When Su Shi heard this, his ears pricked up, and he hurriedly said, "I'll go." ”

Turn around and go out.

"You're standing."

Old Man Chu stopped her and said to Jiang Chuge, "Xi'er, you go." ”

Jiang Chuge nodded, "Oh." ”

Jiang Chuge got the instructions of the old man Chu, and found his shop selling meat according to his memory, not far from the Jiang family's thatched house, and simply built a small house out of wood.

She pushed the door and went in, and smelled a strong smell of meat, the smell of pork and pig blood brought by years of pouring pork and pig blood, this body seemed to be used to smelling since childhood, and there was no discomfort.

The furnishings of the shop are very simple, a platform is simply built with stones, a plan board is placed on it, the wood texture seeps into the bloodstains, and a pig-killing knife next to it glows with a sharp cold light, which looks quite terrifying.

Jiang Chuge looked away, poked out from the door, and saw that there was really a pile of bricks, but he didn't see any long boxes.

She rolled up her sleeves and moved the bricks away one by one, seeing that it was about to be emptied, and she didn't see the box, but she was tired and panting, crossed her waist and slowed down for a while, and started to move the last piece.

The brick was extremely heavy, she used all her strength to lift it, and when she saw that it was two pieces glued together, no wonder it was so heavy, she gritted her teeth and moved the brick away, revealing a dark grid underneath.

She leaned over and saw that there was a long box inside, which was locked.

It's hidden enough.

Jiang Chuge took out the box, and said in his heart that this should not be his father's small vault, he was afraid that the Su family would find out, so he buried it in the pile of bricks.

During this time, the Su family sold everything that could be sold at home, and she was so shrewd that she would definitely not let go of the shop, but she definitely didn't expect that Chu Laohan would bury the small vault in the pile of bricks, even if she really came over to move the bricks, and found that there was nothing in the end, it is estimated that she would not move the last piece again...... Dad's mind is okay, meticulous enough, men are small experts when they hide their private money.

Jiang Chuge smiled secretly, put the box aside, and restored the pile of bricks to its original state, not exposing Daddy's secret base.

Su Shi stood by the door with his hands and kept looking in the direction of the shop, walking around, eager to follow Jiang Chuge to take a look, she rummaged up and down the shop, and didn't find any boxes, as soon as she thought that Chu Laohan might have hidden the treasure behind his back, her heart was burning and wanted to question him, but she had always pretended to be gentle and virtuous, and she couldn't show her greedy side in front of him.

Old Man Chu also looked out with his eyebrows twisted, a little worried in his heart, not knowing if Jiang Chuge could find the secret grid.

Just thinking about it, Jiang Chuge came back with the box.

"Ah, I found it."

Su Shi was excited, and couldn't wait to take the box from Jiang Chu Singer, but Jiang Chuge turned to the side when her hand reached over, and could avoid Su Shi's hand.

The hand froze in mid-air, missing the box, and Su's smile suddenly froze on his face.

The moment Jiang Chuge entered the door, Chu Rou also stood up, she had been sitting on pins and needles here for a long time, and her intuition told her that the dowry of her big wedding was all counting on this long box in Jiang Chu's singer.

She stared at the box, her eyes shining expectantly.

"Dad, give."

Jiang Chuge ignored Chu Rou's hot eyes, and directly handed the box into the hands of Chu Laohan, she was also a little curious, she didn't know how much private money her father had saved over the years.

But according to the level of food and clothing of the Su family and Chu Rou, it is not easy for my father to raise them as a butcher, and it is estimated that he will not be able to save any money.

Chu Laohan took the box, looked at it for a while, his eyes froze for a while, as if he hesitated again and again, before he made up his mind, took out a key from his cuff, and opened the box with a "snap".

In an instant, Su Shi and Chu Rou both surrounded them, staring at the slowly opening box, and when they saw the contents inside, they were dumbfounded for a while.

In the box, there was a golden pearl flower, which turned out to be a golden hairpin.

What is amazing is not the finely carved hairpin, but the pearl embedded in the hairpin, the moment the box is opened, the pearl illuminates the whole room, shining.

Jiang Chuge also blinked his eyelids in surprise,, this can't be the legendary Night Pearl.

Qin Ying's eyes glanced faintly into the box, and the hand holding the teacup paused, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his always calm face also rippled.

"Oh my God!"

Su Shi covered his mouth, stared at the beaded flower with his eyes, and asked in disbelief, "Old man, what kind of treasure is this?" ”

"Yes, Daddy, it's the first time I've seen such a beautiful bead flower, how can this bead still shine?"

Chu Rou couldn't help but marvel and watched intently.

Chu Laohan said, "This is called the Night Pearl, which looks like an ordinary pearl during the day, but it automatically glows at night, and it is as bright as a candle." ”

Su Shi and Chu Rou listened, and their eyes widened again, they had heard the pearl of the night, but they had only occasionally heard from storytellers about how beautiful and precious this thing was, and they had never really seen it.

Qin Ying's face had returned to normal, sitting quietly drinking water, his eyes looking out, it was late, night was falling, the stars were dense, there was no wind and no rain, it was very suitable for going out for a walk.

"It turns out that this is the pearl of the night, it's really better to see than to hear."

Su Shi sighed, she never knew that there were such good things at home, and secretly scolded this dead old man for hiding quite deeply, and asked, "Her father, where did you get this treasure?" ”

Qin Ying retracted his expression, and was also waiting for Old Man Chu's answer.

Old Man Chu's expression was a little cracked, and a touch of unnaturalness flashed in his eyes, and he immediately said, "I picked it up inadvertently on the road." ”

"Picked up? Daddy's luck is too good. ”

Chu Rou complimented her mouth, her eyes were full of this pearl flower, it didn't matter how it came, the important thing was that this would be her dowry, with this night pearl, Xiu Cailang would definitely not be able to run.

Old Man Chu glanced at Jiang Chu Ge, his face was full of guilt, "This pearl flower, originally I wanted to make a dowry for Xi'er, my father let you suffer with me for so many years, how can I give you a good family, I didn't expect to marry you out so sloppily, I really wronged you." also wronged my uncle and married a girl without a dowry. ”

Jiang Chuge's heart was sour when he heard this, "Dad, don't say that. ”

He has this heart, it is enough for himself, this world is difficult and cold, but there is still someone who really loves him, which is more precious to him than gold and silver.

Qin Ying glanced at Jiang Chuge and said lightly, "You don't need a dowry, just let her come." ”

Jiang Chuge listened very usefully, grinned at Qin Ying, and said secretly in his heart: If you marry me, you will wait to enjoy the blessings, and you will definitely not be at a loss.

When Su Shi heard Old Man Chu say this, he immediately panicked and shook his hand, "Old man, you can't favor one over the other, just kiss your daughter, regardless of Rou'er." Anyway, Jiang Chuge has already been married, and this marriage is quite good, not wronged her. The most important thing at the moment is Rou'er, Jiang Chuge has nothing to eat and drink now, and he won't grab pearl flowers with your sister, right? ”

Everyone's eyes looked at Jiang Chuge in unison.

This night's pearl is beautiful and beautiful, but Jiang Chuge has also seen the world, and he has never worn any gold, silver and jewelry in modern times, so he won't be able to pull it out of his eyes.
