Chapter 61 Forty taels of silver

Facing the black bear spirit's scrutiny, Qin Miaomiao looked angry, she was angry that the father and mother of the Qin family, Sanya was only thirteen years old, and she was forced to marry, and she was such an obscene and obscene old man.

glared at the old man fiercely, walked past the matchmaker and the black bear spirit and walked to Sanya's side, Sanya was already crying, out of breath, and when she saw Qin Miaomiao coming, she threw herself into Qin Miaomiao's arms and hugged Qin Miaomiao's waist tightly: "Second sister, I won't marry, I won't marry this black bear blind man!" ”

The man immediately became anxious when he heard Qin Sanya's words, and his voice was like thunder when he spoke: "Stinky girl, who are you talking about?" Wait for you to marry into my family, and watch me clean you up like this! You are obedient to the fight. ”

The matchmaker smiled awkwardly on the side, pulled the black bear spirit's clothes, and motioned him to say a few words, which frightened Qin Sanya and annoyed the Qin family.

"Eh, what about you, don't be surprised, my uncle is straight, and he speaks straightly, don't be surprised." The black bear snorted coldly without caring about it: "If a woman is disobedient, she doesn't beat it, and the daughter-in-law who beats it out kneaded the noodles, I won't get used to anyone!" ”

Qin Miaomiao glanced at him coldly, and couldn't wait to take a stick and pull him out immediately! forcibly suppressed the anger in his heart, and said to the matchmaker standing aside: "Let's go, we don't agree to this family business, Sanya is still too young." Can't get married! ”

She felt that the Qin family's father and mother were really unconscionable and poor! If you can't raise it, don't give birth, isn't this trying to force Sanya to death?

Before others could speak, Father Qin came back limping back with a cane, standing at the door and shouting: "Bastard, I asked you to come to persuade Sanya, who let you make trouble here?" I have the final say on whether to marry or not, use you to make peace with the mud! ”

"That's it, that's it, the order of the parents, the words of the matchmaker, your second daughter is not sensible." Of course, the matchmaker is looking forward to promoting this family affair, this black bear spirit is lazy and bad-tempered, and the nearby village can't find a daughter-in-law, seeing that he hasn't married in his thirties, his mother is so anxious that she goes crazy, saying that if anyone can tell his son about the family affair, the benefit fee will be given two taels of silver.

Two taels of silver is not a small amount, and others only have a few dollars of silver for a family business, so the matchmaker naturally wants to try her best to promote it.

"Are you poor and crazy? Sanya is only thirteen years old, she is still a child, how can she get married! "In any case, this family matter must not be agreed, she can't let Sanya jump into the fire pit.

"What's wrong with being thirteen years old, your mother is pregnant with your sister at the age of thirteen!" When it comes to Qin Ruhua, Father Qin's resentment towards Qin Miaomiao is even stronger.

"I don't care about others, anyway, this family Sanya can't agree, you go quickly, otherwise I'll blow you out with a stick!"

After listening to Qin Miaomiao's words, the matchmaker glanced at Father Qin in embarrassment.

"The Zhao family promised to give a gift of thirty taels of silver, but there was not a single grain of rice left in the family, and they all pointed to Sanya's gift money to live! You said that if you don't marry, you won't marry, will you support the whole family? ”

Listening to Daddy Qin's words, Qin Miaomiao's heart instantly cleared, it turned out that he was waiting for you here, no wonder he wanted to go to the house to find himself, in fact, he deliberately used Sanya's marriage to force himself to give him money, if he didn't marry Sanya, he wouldn't lose money, if she gave this gift money, Daddy Qin would be able to get silver and earn a daughter, for him this is a deal that only makes money and does not lose money.

Now that she knows Daddy Qin's purpose, this matter has become simpler, thirty taels of silver to sell Sanya for a future, Qin Miaomiao feels that she has not spent money in vain, but she will not let Daddy Qin's wishful thinking start, Sanya She has to take it away, otherwise this silver is spent, Daddy Qin is already mad, and he will definitely repeat the old trick When the time comes, this will be a bottomless pit.

Qin Miaomiao thought about it for a while, and said in a cold voice: "I'll give you forty taels, but Sanya will have to follow me in the future." ”

Qin Miaomiao's words blocked the matchmaker couldn't speak, thirty taels were still borrowed by Zhao Jiadong, and forty taels could never be taken out, and she lost all her confidence for a while.

The black bear spirit was also cowardly, thinking that he could raise his eyebrows by spending a lot of money to marry the daughter of the Qin family, but the Qin family sat on the ground and raised the price, and he really couldn't afford it.

looked at Qin Miaomiao viciously, and finally left angrily.

The matchmaker also felt that she couldn't get down the stairs, and complained with great dissatisfaction: "Daddy Qin, what are you doing, I won't care about your daughter's family affairs in the future." After saying that, he flicked his sleeves and walked away quickly.

Daddy Qin's triangular eyes flashed, and he was secretly proud in his heart, he didn't expect this girl to be really rich, she would give forty taels if she said she would give it, and it would be good to take it away, there was one less person at home to eat.

"Second girl, you have to talk about it, forty taels and one points can't be less, I won't agree to one point less!"

Qin Miaomiao had already seen Daddy Qin's face clearly, patted Sanya's back and comforted: "Don't worry, my sister won't let you marry that person, you pack your things, I'll pick you up, and you will follow me in the future." ”

Sanya cried hard just now, still sobbing, and nodded obediently: "Second sister, I will definitely listen to you in the future." Although she is young, she is also sensible, and she has nothing to be reluctant to be with such parents, and she doesn't want to stay in this family anymore.

Father Qin glanced at Qin Miaomiao: "If you give the money, people can take it away, otherwise Sanya won't want to step out of this door." ”

"Three days later, I'll bring the money, and then Sanya will have to go with me." She needed some time to raise money, and she couldn't come up with forty taels of silver for a while.

Qin Miaomiao was in a hurry to go back to raise money, and after a few words of comfort, Sanya left in a hurry.

When she returned home, she found all her savings, and counted them, seventeen taels, and twenty-three taels were missing.

Twenty taels of silver is not a small amount, it really takes some effort to get it together, Su Mu is embarrassed to speak again, he has not diagnosed people for a long time, and he has to build a house and add things, and there must not be much money left.

Yang Liu's little daughter-in-law, who has just married, will not save much money in her private house, and there is Chen Fu, she is embarrassed to borrow money.

Qin Miaomiao sat in the courtyard, thinking about it, she was still at a loss, where to raise money?

When she hesitated, her eyes stayed on the wasteland medicine field not far away, and now she was forced to have no choice, it seemed that she could only dig up the medicinal materials in the medicine field and sell them in advance.

Although it's a pity that they haven't fully grown up when they are dug up now, it is a matter of Sanya's life, and I can't take care of it so much.

As soon as she said it, Qin Miaomiao picked up the wooden shovel at home and ran to the medicine field.

Astragalus and Angelica dahurica were originally to be harvested at the end of this summer, but now the yield is definitely much less, but there is no other way now.

The ginseng has only taken root this year, and the root fruit has not yet taken shape, so she can only dig up all the astragalus and angelica.

Angelica angelica and ginseng are somewhat similar, both are single roots and fruits, so it is easier to dig, dig the ridge, you can see the rhizomes of Angelica dahurica, just dig deeper along its rhizome to pull them out.

Compared with He Baizhi, Astragalus membranaceus will be much more troublesome, Astragalus leaves and stems grow tall, the roots and fruits grow deep, and the hairs of the roots and fruits are particularly many, and the roots and fruits grow together, and the soil needs to be dug up a large piece, and it is necessary to dig deep, otherwise they will be pulled out, and the roots and fruits will be more difficult to dig when they are folded in the soil.

Qin Miaomiao was busy for two days to dig up the white and astragalus membranaceus, and there was no time to cut the sections to dry, so she could only take them to the river to clean them.

After all the things were straightened out, there were more than 200 catties, and Qin Miaomiao couldn't transport them to the city alone.

There is no way to go to Hexi Village to inquire about who has an ox cart to go to the town tomorrow.

God had mercy, the old man Li at the back of the village was willing to run with an ox cart, Qin Miaomiao promised to give her a penny of silver as a reward, and left the old man Li's house with a thousand thanks, Qin Miaomiao rushed home in a hurry.

The herbs that control the moisture are placed in a large cloth bag and placed at the door. Wait for Old Man Li's ox cart to come and pull it away early tomorrow morning and send it to the medicinal herb shop in the city.

Su Mu came back from the bottom of the mountain and was a little curious when he saw the cloth bag facing the door: "What is in this, why are there so many piles?"

Qin Miaomiao has been working secretly for the past two days, she doesn't want Su Mu to know that she dug up the medicinal materials in advance and sold them in order to raise money, she was afraid that Su Mu would not agree and lend herself money, she really didn't want to trouble Su Mu anymore.

But now that they are all ready, they are not afraid that he will know: "I have dug up all the medicinal materials in the wasteland, and I am going to sell them tomorrow?"

Su Mu was washing his hands, took the cloth towel handed over by Qin Miaomiao, wiped his hands and asked, "Are you in a hurry to use the money?" Why don't you tell me?" He guessed that Qin Miaomiao must have a difficulty and was in a hurry to use the money, otherwise she would not have dug up these herbs in advance, usually she is very precious to these herbs, and she must have been in a hurry to dig up these herbs to sell.

Qin Miaomiao's eyes were a little evasive, and she said very unnaturally: "There is nothing urgent, I want to change some more expensive herbs to plant this year, so I dug them all out." ”

Su Mu could see at a glance that Qin Miaomiao was lying to perfunctory herself, but she didn't want to say it, so she simply didn't ask: "It's okay if there's nothing to do, but if you have a problem, you must tell me, and I will help you." ”

Qin Miaomiao grinned and agreed: "Eh, I know, I will definitely tell you if there is something, if you don't help me, who will help me!" ”

As soon as it was dawn the next morning, Qin Miaomiao heard someone outside shouting to herself: "Girl, are you up?" ”

Doubao sat up excitedly, whimpered lowly, and rushed out the door.

Qin Miaomiao hurriedly got dressed and followed out, and Doubao was staring at the scalper at the door.

"Go, play." Driving the bean bags away, Qin Miaomiao and Old Man Li carried the bags of medicinal herbs to the ox cart, finished loading, walked back to the door, and whispered: "Su Langzhong, I'm going to the town, you can make some food for breakfast." ”

Su Mu just hummed in a low voice and didn't speak again.
