Chapter 142: Borrowing Silver

"We think that she can't be too shabby to marry Xiucai, and I want to borrow money from you."

Ye Xiaoying's expression moved slightly, and finally said that it was on time, she didn't say a word, she didn't want to get involved in the matter between Li Tiezhu and his relatives, and quietly sat down on a chair.

The cousin then snorted and cried, "We are such a daughter, and it is not easy to get such a family business, but if she does not have a good dowry, it will be difficult to raise her head and be a person in the future, and you have to take care of your sister as an elder brother." ”

"When did I have such a sister, I haven't even seen it." At this moment, Li Tiezhu looked embarrassed, and he even secretly glanced at Ye Xiaoying.

The twilight swept in, and Ye Xiaoying sat in the dark room and couldn't see it clearly.

Li Tiezhu bowed his head and said nothing, and his cousin burst into tears, "Look, your life now is one of the best in Lijia Village, you don't lack silver, but we lack it!" Without this money, your sister's happiness for the rest of her life would be ruined. ”

Ten taels of silver were earned by them working day and night for three months. Little by little, they raised the little rabbit into a big rabbit, and Ye Xiaoying didn't want to remember the hardships inside.

Seeing Li Tiezhu so embarrassed, Ye Xiaoying couldn't sit still anymore, she suddenly got up and pushed open the door and lay down on the bed, Li Tiezhu quickly followed.

He sat on the edge of the bed and held Ye Xiaoying's hand, "Lady, think about my sister......"

"Didn't you just say you hadn't seen her?"

Li Tiezhu's heart was soft and not firm, Ye Xiaoying sat up at the moment, grabbed Li Tiezhu's hand, and pointed to a scar on it,

"Have you forgotten? This is when you were cutting the weeds, the knife slashed the back of your hand, and how much blood did you shed at that time?

Wake up early every morning and count the rabbits over and over again, each one is like a baby, you work so hard just to save a dowry for your sister? “

Ye Xiaoying's words made Li Tiezhu stunned, looked down at the injury on the back of his hand, and was silent for a while.

The cousin's voice sounded outside, "Yo, whose rule is this?" Men and elders discuss important matters, do women have a place to speak? It is a matter of course for an older brother to prepare a dowry for his younger sister! She yelled outside the door and inside.

Ye Xiaoying looked at Li Tiezhu, the weather was dark at the moment, I didn't know what he was going to do, and when she heard her cousin scolding outside the house, Ye Xiaoying only felt a grievance in her heart.

I heard Li Tiezhu say in a low voice, "Lady, we helped Ah Lu raise her children before, and you didn't care about the silver at that time, why did you ...... them?"

Ye Xiaoying pointed inside, "The silver is there, you can give it to whoever you like." When you prepare a dowry for your sister, she will have children in the future, and she will have to raise children, you still have to prepare early! ”

After finishing speaking, Ye Xiaoying faced the wall without saying a word.

Soon hearing movement, Ye Xiaoying's heart turned cold.

In his eyes, his relatives were more important than her, and Ye Xiaoying was disheartened for a while. The door creaked open and closed, and she couldn't lie down and sit up unconsciously.

That was the only silver they had left, and now there was not a grain of rice in the rice jar, and they would have to eat wild vegetables and wild meat in the future. A sneer crossed her lips, and for some reason, she thought it was so ridiculous.

"What did you say?" Ye Xiaoying was startled by the sound of breaking drinks outside, and her cousin's loud voice roared, "You helped a woman for a year before, how much money did it cost?"

You are too loser, if this silver is counted, I am afraid that there are dozens of taels, so your sister's dowry will be even more luxurious! “

"Enough!" Li Tiezhu suddenly shouted, "Ah Lu is our friend, you are not allowed to slander her, even if she has a big belly, she will do laundry, cook and feed the chickens, she will not sit there and wait for others to serve."

I'm just here to tell you this time, the people who can help us have already helped you, and as for my cousin's dowry, it's a matter for the two of you, and it has nothing to do with me and my wife! “

Ye Xiaoying stayed for a long time, she rubbed her ears, she heard it right, Li Tiezhu's words were exactly what she wanted to say.

Also surprised by Ye Xiaoying was her cousin.

At this moment, she sat on the ground and cried loudly, "Tiezhu her father, why did you leave so early?" Open your eyes and see how your son is bullying me like this.

Isn't my daughter your daughter? She is still married to a scholar, and she is also a glorious lintel for you.

Now just for a few taels of silver but with us like this, half of our bodies have been put into the ground, where to find so much silver to buy a dowry! “

The voice howled so loudly that it almost lifted the roof tiles, and I felt that no one cared about it, crying and looking at it secretly.

The cousin-in-law whispered, "Forget it, let's go!" The tone was impatient, but also ashamed of being embarrassed.

"What are you going, you useless thing, if you don't make money, why would I borrow it from others in such a low voice, you have the ability to get the silver!"

Uncle Tang was silent for an instant, drooped his head, and squatted on the threshold.

It gradually became dark outside, Li Tiezhu started to close the door, but her cousin was still unwilling, she grabbed Li Tiezhu's shirt tightly, "Tiezhu, your sister is really well-behaved, and her children will be filial to you in the future, help her this time, she will remember you for the rest of your life." ”

Although Li Tiezhu didn't know what would happen in the future, he also knew the ridiculousness of these words.

Pulling her hand away, Li Tiezhu said coldly: "Cousin, while I am still willing to call you, you can go back early, don't come to my house in the future, don't ask about my family's affairs, the lady I am looking for is not here to see your face." ”

Ye Xiaoying's heart warmed, Li Tiezhu said this, which really impressed her.

She opened the door through the crack, and her cousin looked up at Li Tiezhu in surprise when she heard it, as if there was a whimpering sound, which was inaudible.

How softly she is now.

Li Tiezhu had already stepped forward and pushed them out, "If you want to cry, go back first, you can live in the house first, but we will go back soon, and the house must be returned to us then." ”

Then he couldn't help but say, Li Tiezhu immediately pushed them away.

Only then did he plug in the door bolt, and as soon as his waist was hot, Ye Xiaoying hugged him around his waist. Li Tiezhu turned around and rested his chin on her head, "Lady, I was wrong, I made you wronged." ”

can get Li Tiezhu like this, even if he suffers some grievances, why not? Well, it didn't matter.

The next day, the two of them were not seen. Seeing the curling smoke rising from the old house from a distance, Li Tiezhu looked at it for a long time and said with a smile: "Lady, you are right, they can indeed work." ”
