Chapter Eighty-Five: This Is Called a Natural Pair
looked at the second sister who was tossing around the house early in the morning, locking the clothes and headdresses into the box, unloading the meat, and hiding things everywhere. Mai Xiaohuan wanted to persuade her not to be busy, the eldest brother's business is probably like this, if she doesn't like that woman anymore, I'm afraid she will have to change her name to sister-in-law after a while.
The road was chosen by the eldest brother himself, and the daughter-in-law was also married by himself, and all he could do was to help his mother marry them. As for the rest, we can only take it one step at a time.
The most important thing today is to hurry up and deal with the matter of Geng Tie, so that Brother Qu and Tang Yujun can return to Qingcheng County, it is already the twenty-sixth day of the lunar month, and people have to hurry back for the New Year!
After breakfast, Mai Yonghai told him to go to the village chief, his grandmother and sister-in-law had had enough of it, and it would be great if Qu Hao could take today's opportunity to clean them up and let these people learn a lesson.
As soon as the village chief heard that Qu Hao was here again, when he wanted to hear what was going on with Mai Xiaohuan's marriage, the sweat of the cold day was scared. Mai Liu's ah, Mai Liu's family, their family is all harmful spirits, if she still cheats today, she will exercise the rights of the village chief and drive people out of Shaxi Village, I believe that Mai Xiaohuan and other villagers will not have an opinion.
When he sent people to Mai Xing and Mai Qiaoyue's house to deliver the message, he also specially instructed those people to tell Mai Liu and Mai Qiaoyue to bring Geng stickers.
The Mai Liu family is here, but she said that Geng Tie is not in her hands, and what a good thing it is for her aunt to get married! With Mai Xiaohuan's sick and crooked body, he will be disgusted when he goes to someone else's house, and he will marry his cousin, there will be no such problems.
"So, you've done a good thing! Don't we have to thank you! Since my aunt and cousin are so good, there are three cousins in the uncle and third uncle's family! , it just so happens that my aunt's family has three sons, and you can make the decision together today and allow you to go out. Mai Xiaofang choked.
"You ......" If it weren't for the sake of the second son's family, the girl might not have looked down on Xiao Huan's girl! If he didn't want his son to pull his daughter, he wouldn't be optimistic about this family business.
"Steward Qu, you now take my letter to the county, find the county order and ask him to send an official to search Mai Qiaoyue's house, if they can't find anything or they resist, invite them to go to prison for Chinese New Year's Eve dinner." Qu Hao saw that Mai Qiaoyue hadn't come after waiting for so long, so he gave an order directly.
Seeing that the Chinese New Year is coming, who wants to stay in prison, Mai Liu's family dares to play tricks and spill with his son's family, but she doesn't dare in the face of Qu Hao, she looks at the village chief for help, only to get a cold snort of disgust.
"Second child, you're just watching others arrest your sister's family!"
Mai Wan is no longer the same person as a year ago, witnessing the grievances suffered by his daughter-in-law and his sister, his pity for his sister's family has long been exhausted.
"Mai Xiaohuan's family affairs are not counted without the nod of my father's mother, if someone forges Geng stickers and does not repent, I don't mind sending her to see the official. Uncle Mai and Aunt Mai are embarrassed, I don't have so many worries. ”
There were more and more people who gathered around to see the excitement, and they didn't look down on Mai Liu's sympathy for Shan Cuihua, so more and more people blamed Mai Liu, and some people even coaxed her to send her to the county government.
Pan Mingqiu walked out of the crowd and solemnly told Mai Liu that if she didn't hand over the fake Geng sticker before noon, she would be kicked out of Shaxi Village in the afternoon, and if she didn't believe her, she would try.
"But Geng Tie is really not here with me!"
"Whom, you send someone to find it! In short, as long as I see Geng Tie, you apologize to Xiao Huan and her mother in front of the whole village, and if anyone still talks about this matter, then get out of Shaxi Village. ”
The mother-in-law of the Mai family is not good, and the eldest daughter-in-law is not a thing.
The village chief said so, Mai Xing and Mai Quan had no choice but to take Mai Yongjiang and a few of their juniors to prepare to go home and put on an ox cart to find Mai Qiaoyue and Liang Xingcai.
"Send a wagon to them." Qu Hao gave the coachman a look and asked him to go there to cooperate with the steward's action, if he didn't see Geng Tie with his own eyes, he didn't identify the authenticity, what if they cheated again.
"I'll go too." Mai Yonghai and Qu Hao had the same thoughts, and in his heart he didn't even feel that it was okay to find it, if the village chief could get rid of his grandmother and aunt, his father and mother would be much more worried.
Seeing the house where Mai Qiaoyue's family lived, the Qu family's coachman finally understood why they relied on Mai Xiaohuan to die. The dilapidated straw house, the fence that was about to fall, the only thing but a scrawny dog and a lifeless yard...... In one word, it is poor, and in two words, it is embarrassment.
It is estimated that the conditions of ten miles and eight villages like theirs are really not easy to find!
The sound of Mai Qiaoyue's pig-like howl broke the tranquility of the mountain village, and the villagers came to see the excitement, and Mai Qiaoyue also learned from her mother's routine, sprinkling, letting go, and reversing black and white.
It wasn't until the official revealed his identity and pointed out that Mai Qiaoyue and Liang Xingcai had forged Geng stickers that the people dispersed. The fake Geng Tie was naturally found, and the steward carried it into his arms, which was to be handed over to the son.
The depressed Mai Qiaoyue was also taken to Shaxi Village, and the village chief warned the Mai family headed by Mai Liu's family in front of the whole village that they would not be allowed to trouble Shan Cuihua's mother and daughter in the future. If Shan Cuihua or any of the Mai Wan family found themselves, then they would have to move out of Shaxi Village.
Mai Xiaohuan whispered something in Qu Hao's ear, and then Qu Hao asked Shan Cuihua to hand over the sisters' Geng stickers to him in front of everyone, saying that he wanted to bring them back to Qingcheng County.
The county guard will say kiss to these two girls! The people of Shaxi Village talked about it, some biting their ears quietly, some envious, and some had sons at home, secretly hating Mai Liu's bad things for their own good deeds......
After lunch, when he left, Qu Hao secretly returned Geng Tie to Mai Xiaohuan, he recognized that this sister had a lot of ghost ideas, Geng Tie turned around like this, at least no one in Shaxi Village dared to worry about the cheapness of the two sisters.
"Xiao Fang! Is this your Geng sticker? Let me take a look! "It would be better if I left it to myself for safekeeping," Tang Yujun asked with a grin.
Mai Xiaofang stared at Tang Yujun with her cheeks crimson, the girl's Geng sticker can be shown to people casually!
"Big deal, I'll just let you see me, okay?"
"Phew!"
Qu Hao and Mai Xiaohuan are separated from each other, and the signs of these two people are getting more and more wrong, and they must be stopped. So Qu Hao carried Tang Yujun into the carriage, and Mai Xiaohuan also pushed the second sister back to the house.
got into the carriage, Tang Yujun did not forget to lift the curtain and tell the sisters that he would come to pick them up after the New Year.
The guests left, and one of the two major problems was solved, and the Mai family felt a lot more relaxed. Mai Xiaofang opened her mouth three times and twice to ask her eldest brother, what was going on in Pingliang County, but she was stopped by her sister.
He has been tossing his mother for so long, and today he is in a hurry, if he doesn't say anything, let alone pen and ink, even a vegetable leaf himself will not give that woman a piece.
When it was time for dinner, Mai Yonghe finally couldn't help but open his mouth: "Dad, mother, it's going to be the New Year, I want to ...... I want to get something to see Qiu Niang. Again...... Then hand over the money for the house, and people are in a hurry. ”
Mai Wang and Shan Cuihua sighed at the same time, they really didn't expect that the most embarrassing of the four children in the family was actually the eldest son who was usually the most obedient and wooden.
"If you have money, you can go!" Mai Xiaofang glanced at her eldest brother dissatisfied, she should be honest if she has no ability. This left is out and the right is out, and before they get married, they tossed half of their lives for their parents, and if they marry that woman and enter the door, the family will not all have to suffer.
"Even if it is...... Even if you and Xiaohuan make money, it's at home. ”
"It's the family, yes, I'm happy to spend flowers on my family, I'm not happy to give them flowers." Mai Xiaofang slammed her chopsticks, the eldest brother is crazy for that woman now! Did he think that everyone in the family should be like him, and be a cow and a horse for the sister and brother!
"Qiu Niang is not an outsider." Mai Yonghe is also anxious, why don't the family dislike Qiu Niang one or two! How nice she is! Gentle and virtuous, he is willing to suffer for his younger brother, and he also shushes himself for warmth, always praising himself for his strength and ability.
"In my eyes, she is an outsider, dare to instigate you to go against your mother, dare to come to the door to say kiss, dare to let you secretly buy a house for them in the county behind your back, which serious girl would do this."
"Don't talk about her." Mai Yonghe stood up, looking at his irritable appearance, if Mai Xiaofang dared to say a word again, he might start beating someone.
Mai Xiaohuan also stood up at this time, and said coldly to Mai Yonghe: If you dare to move today, don't want to get a penny or a little bit from me and my second sister. ”
Don't look at this sister as the youngest, but Mai Yonghe is the most jealous of her, and he also believes that Mai Xiaohuan will do it as long as he says it.
Mai Xiaohuan glanced at everyone, and asked the eldest brother helplessly if he had to marry Chen Qiuniang.
Mai Yonghe nodded firmly, and he would never change his mind even if the sea was dry and the rocks were rotten. Mai Xiaohuan turned her head and asked her father and mother, do they really approve of this family business?
"Marry him! Once you become a parent, don't come back. In the past few months, Shan Cuihua has been exhausted by her eldest son, and now she only hopes to solve this troublesome matter as soon as possible and live a stable life in a few days.
Mai Xiaohuan asked how much money the house still owed to the people, and Mai Yonghe hesitated for a long time, saying that he only paid a deposit of 15 taels with the money from selling rabbits and grain, and owed the owner 140 taels.
"It's only fifteen taels of silver, and you dare to buy a house in the county seat, if you don't say that the woman is picking you up, I won't believe it."
Mai Xiaohuan is also convinced, if he doesn't do business with the Tang family, if he comes back from Qingcheng County empty-handed, what is the eldest brother going to do!
That woman is really attractive, and the eldest brother is also courageous, maybe they were born as a pair, and that's what I'm talking about!
