Chapter 1: Just out of the wolf's den and into the 'poor' den
"Old man, why didn't you say she hadn't woken up yet...... Isn't Mo already dead, my God!? The old woman craned her neck to look at the woman on the bed.
I saw the woman on the bed, about fifteen or sixteen years old, with a slightly yellow complexion, but happy eyebrows like a crescent moon, a melon seed face, thick and thin lips, quite delicate. Coupled with a green dress wrapped in a plain waist, she can be regarded as a beautiful woman, but her eyes are not open, and she seems to have fallen asleep.
"You go and let me take a look, if we die, we will lose a lot! It's all you, what else are you talking about getting rich, and when the time comes, you will get into a lawsuit...... Our old Wu family will be ruined at the hands of this woman! The old man hurriedly pushed the old woman away and leaned forward.
When the old woman heard this, she said angrily, "What nonsense are you talking about, you would have complained about me now, if it weren't for the golden hairpin on her head...... Hmph, I don't know where to put the big and strong dowry money......"
"Hmph, if I hadn't been for the sake of that hairpin, I wouldn't have let you bring this evil spirit home, and I said that I would leave it on the mountain."
The old man stretched out his hand and probed the woman's snort, "It's okay, it's okay, it's still angry, you go quickly!" Call the old man of the village! ”
The old woman was indignant and ran out.
The old woman went to find the old Hu, is a single family in the village, knowing that he has not been able to marry a wife because of excessive poverty, and the matchmaker has also come to talk about a few kisses, but Lao Hu can't get the dowry money, plus he is addicted to alcohol, and no daughter has taken a fancy to him.
When Lao Hu was young, he studied with the doctor in the town for a few years, but he knew some Qihuang techniques. Whoever has a minor illness in the village is called Lao Hu to go, and Lao Hu is also happy to earn some money to buy wine and drink.
When Lao Hu came, he leaned over and teased the woman's eyelids, opened his mouth again, looked at it for a while, frowned as if he was puzzled, and muttered: "It's blue and black under the eyes, but the breath is stable, this is not sick......"
Turning his head to the old man, he asked, "Brother Wu, forgive the old man's words, who is this woman?" ”
Old man Wu just wanted to open his mouth, Wu Liushi on the side was busy stretching his elbow to stop the old man Wu, afraid that the old man Wu said that he had missed his mouth, and he would not be able to make money at that time.
Of course, this hairpin was taken by Wu Liu's family, and when the pawnshop owner saw this hairpin, he looked at it carefully, and suddenly his eyes lit up, this is a peony hairpin!
asked where this came from, Wu Liu's family said that it was handed down by his ancestors, and said that he was in a hurry to get money for his son to marry a daughter-in-law! The pawnshop owner couldn't help but be happy when he touched the hairpin, and his heart was sent back this time, squinting at the coarse cloth clothes worn by Wu Liu's body, washed white, patched all over his body, looking at the rough hands, this girl is doing rough work, how can this good hairpin come to the family! Without thinking about it, he took out a silver ticket and receipt, and shouted into it, "Chenghui, one hundred taels!" Die! ”
Wu Liu's family has never seen this lot of money, and most of the copper plates he takes on weekdays are copper plates, and he can get a hundred taels for nothing, so he is very happy, and he hurriedly pressed his handprint, and carefully returned home with a silver ticket. talked to Wu Laohan at night, and the family said that they had made a fortune, and they went to Qiao's house the next day to propose marriage.
