Chapter 407: The bride price of five taels of silver
Chapter 406: The bride price of five taels of silver
"Five taels? You ......" Xia Duogui was stunned.
Ah Xiu also had a stunned expression.
"Sister-in-law, you didn't say that at the beginning, you said that as long as I like it, you can do without a bride price!" Ah Xiu said.
"No bride price? Are you really ready to lose money? If I hadn't said that, there would have been a man on a blind date?
Hehe, I raise a pig, and after the New Year, I can still slaughter and eat meat! You are in our Cao family, eating, drinking, and sleeping, for so long, don't you need money?
If this man likes you, let him give him a bride price of five taels of silver, or else...... Hmph, this dear, don't think about knotting! Don't even think about leaving our Cao family! Feng said loudly.
"Sister-in-law......" Ah Xiu was extremely aggrieved.
Xia Duogui took a step forward and grabbed Ah Xiu's hand, "Five taels of silver, right?" I'm out! It's just, give me time to make up! ”
Five taels of silver is definitely not a small amount.
Ordinary people, three or five years, may not be able to earn so much.
"It's best to hurry up, if you don't make up the money, next month, I will send this girl to the town to be a concubine for the grandfather, they are willing to spend more money than you!" Feng Shi looked flattened.
Xia Qiqi's hands were clenched into fists, eager to smash them.
But she didn't smash it, because she knew that in ancient times, the words of the matchmaker of the parents' orders must be there.
Otherwise, we can't be together.
Even if they are together, they are all lewd, and they are going to be caught and soaked in the pig cage!
Since Ah Xiu was bullied by her brother and sister-in-law like this, naturally her father and mother also knew it.
Looking for this kind of soberness, the father and mother either have no right to speak, or they acquiesce.
offended the Feng family, in case she really sold Ah Xiu to the capital, this matter will be troublesome!
Xia Qiqi put down his fist and took a deep breath.
"Okay, next month, I will definitely scrape together this money, but you must not marry Ah Xiu!" Xia Duogui said.
Feng couldn't be happy in his heart.
Before, she didn't find someone to ask for a bride price.
It's okay to give it for free, but when I heard that I wanted a bride price, everyone ran away.
refused to give two taels of silver, and now this wronged boss is willing to pay five taels of silver.
Of course she was willing to wait.
However, he won't tell Xia Duogui about this.
"Hmph, you'll talk about it later!" Fung said.
After speaking, she reached out and grabbed Cao Yunxiu's clothes, and dragged the person into the house in front of Xia Duogui.
Xia Duogui's gaze kept falling on Ah Xiu.
He said to Ah Xiu: "Ah Xiu, wait for me, I will definitely marry you, and I will definitely ......"
"Brother Duogui, I'll wait for you ......"
……
On the way back, Xia Duogui looked lost.
The whole person, like a frosted eggplant, is completely wilted.
Five taels of silver, where did he go to get five taels of silver!
His current income is less than five taels of silver a year.
Oh my God, what is he going to do?
What is he going to do?
Xia Qiqi looked at Xia Duogui, saw his lost soul, and knew that he really cared about Ah Xiu.
She said: "Sixth uncle, in fact, the bride price of five taels of silver is not a problem!" ”
Xia Qiqi said, stretching out his hand towards Lu Jiu.
Lu Jiu handed her a piece of broken silver.
This is half of the ten taels of silver that Chef Sun gave her during the day.
"This one is lent to you! When you have the money in the future, you can pay it back! Xia Qiqi said.
Xia Duogui was stunned, he looked at Xia Qiqi with a look of surprise, excitement, and disbelief on his face.
"Qiqi, you ...... Will you lend me this money? Aren't you afraid that I won't be able to pay it back for the rest of my life He asked.
"The sixth uncle in my eyes is not so useless, he can't afford to pay back five taels of silver! You take this and marry Ah Xiu into the door! Xia Qiqi said.
"I ......"
"Take it! Otherwise, when you get the money, Ah Xiu may be married to someone else by those two money-hungry sisters-in-law! You can wait, Ah Xiu can't wait! Xia Qiqi said.
When Xia Duogui heard this, he took the silver, and turned around to find the Feng family.
was stopped by Xia Qiqi.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Six, are you going to go now?" She asked.
"Yes! Since I have a bride price of five taels of silver, I should give Ah Xiu's sister-in-law and second sister-in-law, otherwise what if she really marries Ah Xiu to someone else? Xia Duogui asked.
"No, you can't go now!" Xia Qiqi Dao.
"For ...... Why?? ”
"You just said you were going back to make money! The deadline given to you by Feng Shi is also a month, you go and give money now, give her the feeling that you have money! She will definitely open her mouth and more bride price money! Xia Qiqi said.
"Do you want to give all your hard-earned money to Brother and Sister-in-law? Don't forget, Ah Xiu can't get any of this money! Xia Qiqi said.
"What then? What if Ah Xiu's sister-in-law takes advantage of my absence and secretly marries Ah Xiu? He asked excitedly.
Xia Duogui liked a girl so much for the first time, he really didn't want to let go, and he didn't want to leave regrets!
"Sixth Uncle, when you just promised to give Feng five taels of silver, the expression on her face was a little surprised.
This number was said casually by her, and there was no one at all, who wanted to pay for Ah Xiu to be a concubine!
In other words, judging from Ah Xiu's current situation, ordinary people will not pay a bride price of five taels of silver! Xia Qiqi analyzed.
"Then why didn't you say it?" Xia Duogui asked puzzled.
"Because it doesn't make sense to say it, it will only anger the Feng family! Once Feng is provoked, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not find someone to ask for a few hundred dollars and marry Ah Xiu!
Five taels of silver and a few hundred wen, there are still people who will choose a few hundred wen to marry a daughter-in-law! Xia Qiqi said.
Speaking of this, Xia Duogui understands it thoroughly.
"I know, when the last date comes, I'll go to Sister-in-law Axiu, I must make a pair that has been made up for a long time and has worked very hard to get it!" Xia Duogui said.
"Not only that, but you also have to call the matchmaker as a companion, and the village chief of Caojia Village as a middleman! lest they take the money and refuse to admit it! Turn around and ask you to pay the bride price again! Xia Qiqi said.
"Qiqi, you're amazing! I didn't even expect these at all, but you are amazing! ”
"Uncle Sixth has won the prize! You're just a fan of the authorities, and I, a bystander, just happen to be clear! Xia Qiqi's face was full of modesty.
Xia Duogui breathed a sigh of relief, and a long-lost smile finally appeared on his face.
"By the way, Qiqi, can I go back and find Mrs. Liu to settle this matter?" Xia Duogui said.
"No, it seems that the sixth uncle now has the bride price money, and the matter of getting married is not a difficult matter! But don't forget, the biggest problem now is not the problem of money, it's my grandmother who doesn't agree with you marrying Ah Xiu! ”
With Xia Qiqi's understanding of the dead old woman, she would definitely not let Ah Xiu enter the door.
Unless, the dead old woman's brain is broken.
"Oh my God, why did I forget this stubble, now your grandmother will make this happen to the whole village, she will definitely not let me marry Ah Xiu!
Qiqi, can you help me again, help me think of ideas? ”
