Chapter 116: Ah Fu is in trouble
Peach Blossom Niang was very excited, "It was Xiao Qi who brought the natural disaster to our town, and it was she who brought the natural disaster to our Great Xia Dynasty." ”
Peach Blossom Niang felt that what she said was very reasonable, and raised her voice and continued: "Xiao Qi's grandmother said that Xiao Qi's father is a disaster star, and the daughter she gave birth to is naturally also a disaster star. ”
Suddenly, a figure rushed over and knocked her down in one fell swoop.
Xiao Qi saw that it was his brother Ah Fu who knocked down Peach Blossom Niang, so he hurriedly went up and grabbed Ah Fu, "Brother, let her go, let's go home." ”
Peach Blossom Niang didn't want to, she sat on the ground and hugged Ah Fu's leg and didn't let go, crying in her mouth, "I've killed someone, everyone come and see, the son of the Dahe family is going to beat me to death." ”
Old Aunt Liu bent down to pull Peach Blossom Niang, and persuaded Peach Blossom Niang: "Peach Blossom Lady, don't make trouble, the village is about to divide the meat, get up quickly, let's go together, if you go late, the good meat will be picked by others." ”
Peach Blossom Niang shook off Aunt Liu's hand, "Hurry up and call my family, I can't move, call someone to carry me home." ”
Peach Blossom Niang and Peach Blossom Daddy are both lazy and delicious, the money for selling their daughters has long been used up, and the son's rotten duck eggs have reached the age of marrying a daughter-in-law, but they have been delayed because of lack of money.
Peach Blossom Niang was unpopular in the village, alas, she didn't get up for a long time, and the people around her didn't pay attention to her, so Xiao Qi had to carry Peach Blossom Niang back and send her back.
Not long after Peach Blossom Niang returned home, Peach Blossom Father found Xiao Qi's family and rolled at the door of Xiao Qi's house, attracting many villagers to watch, and even the old patriarch came over.
The old patriarch looked at Peach Blossom Daddy, who was rolling on the ground, tears and snot all over his face, and couldn't help but feel disgusted in his heart, "Peach Blossom Daddy, what are you messing around here, it's too unusual." ”
Peach Blossom Daddy reached out and wiped away his tears, and the dirt on his hands immediately stained his dark face.
Peach Blossom Father crawled to the old patriarch and cried in a woman-like crying voice: "Old patriarch, you have to uphold justice for us, Peach Blossom and her mother were beaten by Liu Dahe's son Ah Fu." ”
Peach Blossom Daddy pounced forward as he spoke, and almost pounced on the old patriarch's leg, and the old patriarch, supported by his son Liu Dayu, shivered away from the sloppy Peach Blossom Daddy.
Liu Dahe turned around and went back to the courtyard, took a small wooden stool and put it behind the old patriarch, and beckoned to the old patriarch: "Old patriarch, sit down first." ”
Seeing the old patriarch sitting down, Liu Dahe turned to Ah Fu and asked, "Say it quickly, is it your hand?" ”
Ah Fu just came out of the courtyard, still holding a painting pen in his hand, "Peach Blossom Niang said that Xiao Qi was a disaster star at the entrance of the village, and I couldn't help but push her." ”
Old Aunt Liu replied beside her, "I was there, Ah Fu only pushed it gently, and it didn't take much effort." ”
Peach Blossom Daddy got up from the ground, "How can you not have strength, Peach Blossom Niang can't get up from lying at home now." ”
Liu Dahe saw that Peach Blossom Daddy was standing unsteadily, so he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Peach Blossom Daddy, "Peach Blossom Daddy, don't worry, I'll go and find a Lang Zhong for Peach Blossom Niang later, and then the medicine money will be paid by my family." ”
Peach Blossom patted the soil on his body, "It's very chaotic outside now, and you may not be able to find Langzhong when you go outside, so it's better to lose more money to us, and we'll go find Langzhong ourselves." ”
Liu Dahe asked tentatively, "I don't know how much to pay?" ”
The old patriarch thought that it was enough for the people in the village to be down and beat at most a few dozen wen, so he said, "It's better to give a hundred wen first." ”
Peach Blossom Daddy's neck stalked, "One hundred wen is not good, now the price of food has risen to the sky, and the price of other things has also risen terrifyingly, Dahe will give ten taels of silver first, if it is not enough in the future, I will come to Dahe to get it." ”
The people in the village vaguely remembered that it seemed that peach blossoms and apricot blossoms were only sold for about five taels before.
Niu snorted, "Ten taels of silver, your family is crazy, I think Peach Blossom Niang may be pretending to be sick and trying to cheat us for money." ”
The old patriarch got up from the wooden bench, "Peach Blossom Daddy, the amount you want is too big." ”
Peach Blossom Father: "You have disabled the Peach Blossom Girl, and it is too much to pay ten taels, if you don't pay, I will live in your house and not leave." ”
After a stalemate for about half an hour, Liu Dahe called Niu to go home and get the silver.
Niu Shi didn't follow, and said to Peach Blossom Daddy: "I won't give you to live in my house, this money is so easy to earn, give it this time, you will come next time." ”
After Niu finished speaking, he returned to the courtyard and bolted the door, closing the group out of the courtyard.
When the old man Hua came over, the two sides were facing each other, and no one was willing to give in, so the flower mother-in-law knocked on the door and entered the courtyard, chatted with the Niu family for a while, and after coming out, she discussed with the old man Hua and the old patriarch Liu Dahe, and finally made a decision.
So the old man said to Peach Blossom's father: "It's better to take a step back, set up a note, and settle the five taels of silver at a time, and you can't use this to ask for silver in the future." ”
According to the suggestion of the old man Hua, the two sides set up a note, and the old man and the old patriarch were witnesses.
Peach Blossom Daddy was very happy to receive the five taels of silver, and said to everyone: "Remember to call me Duck Egg Daddy next time, don't call me Peach Blossom Daddy." ”
Niu took several sips at Peach Blossom Daddy.
In the evening, the rotten duck eggs sent the silver back to Xiaoqi's house.
"I'm sorry, little seventh girl, I've been patrolling during the day, I don't know my father and mother did this."
The stinky duck egg was full of black lines, "My mother pretended to be sick and cheated your family's money, and I just found out about it." ”
"Little Seventh Girl, I will be your housekeeper in the future, you must not give up on me because of this matter."
Xiao Qi smiled, "No, they are them, you are you." ”
Seeing that there was no one on the left and right, the stinky duck egg lowered his voice and said, "Actually, this matter was instructed by your grandmother and their side." ”
"My mother just told me that your grandmother gave my family two catties of grain, and let my mother say more unpleasant things, it is best to make your family unable to stay in the village, and after the matter is completed, she will give my mother another half bag of grain."
Half a sack of grain is tempting enough in such a disaster year.
What's funny is that the food on Liu Dahe's father's side was all sent by Xiao Qi, and three big bags have already been sent.
Xiao Qi lowered his voice, "Stinky duck eggs, don't tell me about this." ”
Niu came over and was very happy to take the silver back from the rotten duck eggs, "Stinky duck eggs, I knew that you were a good boy, and in the future, our Xiaoqi will open a shop again, and I will ask you to be a buddy." ”
On the way home, the rotten duck egg said to himself: "Can't you let me be the shopkeeper when the time comes?" I've learned the job of a shopkeeper very well. ”
Xiao Qi was very angry, and took the opportunity to go to his grandmother's house to deliver food at night and questioned his grandmother Xu.
Xu Shi stopped his face, "Now everyone is living so badly, it's all because your family is a disaster, what's wrong with me doing this." ”
Xiao Qi felt very sad, so he said: "My father wants me to send food over, you all think like this in your hearts?" ”
Liu Quan and the others shrank aside like quails.
Xu: "Do you talk to your elders like this?" Your family has caused natural and man-made disasters, and it is amazing to send me some food as compensation. ”
Xiao Qi understood a truth, in this world, there is a kind of person who does not need to be reasonable.
She went home silently and did not tell her family about it.
Xiao Qi knew in his heart that saying this would only cause Liu Dahe to be sad, but it would not change Liu Dahe's filial piety.
