"Our family is not stingy, but we are busy on weekdays, and we are farming and thinking about other ways to make a living, and I have to help my mother embroider at home every day for money, and I have no leisure at all. It's not just not so busy today, so my father and mother hurriedly invited my grandmother and you to go to dinner together, or a big pot dish with pork, isn't this okay? Shen Jingqiu retorted very unconvinced, she was sharp and sharp, and she spoke like beans poured from a bamboo tube, making people unable to answer.

Ordinary people will be speechless by her, but her opponent is the more difficult Shen Xiangmiao.

Shen Xiangmiao tilted her head and grinned: "Sister Jingqiu, I just said one sentence, you just said so many words." I just sighed that I hadn't eaten at my uncle's house for a long time, when did I say that your family was stingy? You open your mouth to explain this, aren't you empty-hearted? ”

Shen Jingqiu was choked up and had nothing to say, her face turned even redder, so she had to wave her hand and said, "Don't talk to you too much, let's go over quickly, grandma is waiting at home!" ”

The Lu family, Shen Fuhai, and Zhang family are all filial, and knowing that Shen Shuntong and the Yang family are there, they put out the fire in the stove room, put things in order, and take the child to follow Shen Jingqiu to the big house.

After bringing people to the house, Shen Jingqiu said: "Grandpa, grandma, father, mother, second uncle's family and third uncle's family are here." ”

"Everyone, hurry up and arrange a meal." Yang spoke.

"Daughter-in-law, I'll arrange it." In order to show off in front of Yang, Xu had a rare smile on his face and went to arrange lunch.

There are many people, and it is the head of the family to eat, so there is no division of male and female seats, so there is simply a table for adults in the hall and a table for children in the Westinghouse, and it is a big pot of dishes, each person scoops a bowl and eats their own.

The staple food of Erhe noodles is a nest of vegetables, potatoes, beans, water spinach, cabbage or something stewed together, and occasionally you can see a piece of meat, and most of them are fat.

Shen Xiangmiao has never been interested in fatty meat, especially the taste of Xu's dish is really not flattering, which makes her who has always been picky about things a little unable to swallow, but because of her identity at this time, it is not good to show that she is too picky about eating, so she has to take small bites and eat like chewing wax.

The other children were not picky, and they were hungry at noon, so they all ate in large gulps.

While eating, a shout suddenly came from the courtyard: "This is Shen Futian's family?" ”

Shen Shuntong instructed Shen Futian: "Boss, go and see who's coming outside, it sounds weird." ”

"Hmm." Shen Futian put down the dishes and chopsticks and went out.

After a while, he turned around again, looked a little flustered, and looked at Xu uneasily: "Oh no, Zhang, the Zhang family is here." ”

Xu glared at him: "Come on, come on, why are you panicking?" ”

"The Zhang family is here to ask for someone." Shen Futian whispered.

When the rest of the people heard this, they all put down their dishes and chopsticks.

"Who do you want? Which Zhang family? Yang frowned and asked, "Isn't it the town's Zhang Yuanwai's family?" It's not that the Shen family doesn't sell their daughters, you go back to him, otherwise if we don't sell them, people won't be able to rob them? ”

"This ......" Shen Futian and Xu Shi were both speechless for a while.

"Why, can't you pull this face? Then ask someone to come over, and I'll tell him personally. Shen Shuntong was not very satisfied with the boss's family because of this matter, and he was also a little angry.

Shen Futian and Xu had no choice but to bring people in.

There were three people in the group, led by a middle-aged man in his thirties, wearing satin clothes, and playing with two pecans in his hands, which looked very magnificent.

"I don't know what to call it." Shen Shuntong greeted politely.

"I am the steward of Zhang Yuanwai's family, so I don't have the surname Han." Steward Han nodded slightly, and said loudly: "You are the old man Shen, it just so happens that you are also there, I will also open the skylight and say bright words, your eldest son and daughter-in-law promised our Zhang family a few days ago to send a girl to our house to be our master's personal maid, but after so many days, I haven't looked at anyone, and the housekeeper in our house asked me and I to come over today to see if some people don't take our Zhang family seriously." ”

"Steward Han, I won't tell you, this is a selfish decision made by my son and daughter-in-law, it doesn't count, our Shen family doesn't plan to sell my daughter. It's really a shame to let you run for nothing this time. Shen Shuntong turned his head and said angrily: "Boss, eldest daughter-in-law, you are all in trouble, why don't you hurry up and apologize to Steward Han, and make some tea to quench your thirst?" ”

"We're not busy, we're not hungry, we just need people, give them to us, and we'll leave immediately." Steward Han snorted coldly, and the walnut plate in his hand crackled.

"Steward Han, what do you mean by that?" Yang opened his mouth: "The head of my family has already said that our Shen family does not sell daughters, and Steward Han will take people away when he opens his mouth and closes his mouth, so why not buy and sell by force?" ”

"Everything pays attention to a rational word, even if the Zhang family has a big business, if you want to do such a hurtful thing as robbing the people's daughters, we are not afraid, go to the yamen to sue you!" Shen Fuhai said loudly.

"Go to the yamen and sue me, okay, when the time comes, let the county master see whose fault it is!" Steward Han took out a stack of square paper from his arms, shook it open and shook it in front of everyone: "See it clearly, white paper, black characters and red handprints, this is Shen Futian's personal handprint, our Zhang family paid seven taels, and the Shen family sold us a girl to be our master's personal maid, this can't be wrong, we gave the money, but now you don't give it to it, just like this, you still want to go to the yamen to sue our Zhang family?" Phew! I'll put it here today, either let us take the girl away, otherwise, we will sue Shen Futian to the yamen, and let the county magistrate treat him for the crime of abduction and deception, and suffer from this prison! ”

When everyone saw this posture, they were shocked.

Especially the Yang family, pulling Shen Futian and shouting: "Boss, why are you so confused, you should also make a note if there is no shadow?" ”

Shen Futian said hesitantly: "Mother, I don't know how to read, and I was also deceived, saying that what was written above was that the introduction person would be a maid to the Zhang family, and he could get some money. ”

"Then, what can I do, I can't hand over people, what if they take Futian away and put him in prison?" Xu stammered.

"Steward Han, our Shen family doesn't sell our daughters, we will return the money to you." Shen Shuntong had seen some of the market, and he was quite calm at this time: "Old man, you take out the silver you received quickly and return it to Steward Han!" ”

"Also? Old man, where is the matter so simple, it is clearly written, once the money is paid, it will not be refunded. Steward Han sat down on a stool, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth: "I advise you not to think in vain, there are only two ways in front of you today, either give it to people, I will take it back and return to the housekeeper, or let me take Shen Futian away and put him in prison, how to choose, it's up to you!" ”
