Chapter 5 The greedy mother's family came to the door
"A copper plate, right, get me one."
"I want one too!"
"Give me one!"
A copper plate is not expensive, it is solid in the stomach, and it is not a loss for the croppers, and as soon as the price comes out, Cai Xiaoxiao's side will be lively.
The excitement is lively, and the rumor has also spread to the Cai family at the end of the village.
Old man Cai was smashing a cigarette stick and smoking a cigarette in a big gulp, when he saw his old wife running in in a hurry, looking anxious, as if someone was holding a torch and burning behind her buttocks.
"Lao Cai, Lao Cai, something happened!"
"What's wrong! And here the debt collector is again? When Old Man Cai saw her like this, he jumped up all of a sudden, and he was so frightened that he flew out most of the time, grabbing the silver beside him and wanting to run outside.
"How can it, do you know our daughter?" Cai smashed his mouth, stretched out his hand to stop Old Man Cai, lowered his voice and muttered quietly: "She is selling things on the ridge now!" ”
"Sell something? Isn't this going out and embarrassing! The old widow of the old Zhao family can also agree? Old man Cai saw that it was not the debt collector who came, so he relaxed now, squatting at the door of his house, spitting out smoke rings in his mouth, and a contempt flashed in his eyes.
If it weren't for the bride price given by the widow, which was not bad, two taels more than the money given by the tooth woman, how could he marry Cai Xiaoxiao.
"Will she care? A widow, what shameful things she has done is not sure, still careless? I've heard that Xiaoxiao has just sold forty copper plates! Cai's voice was quite loud before, and when he talked about the forty copper plates that Cai Xiaoxiao earned, his voice was suddenly lowered, and he secretly whispered in Cai's ear.
These forty copper plates are already a lot for ordinary families!
Old man Cai's eyes lit up when he heard this, and the silver in his hand was stuffed into his arms, and his eyes were shining as if he was rushing outside: "What are you selling!" ”
"The devil knows what it is, anyway, I made a lot of money, I said old man, what's the matter with this is also our daughter, this money-"
Where did Old Man Cai hear this, he almost rushed directly to the ridge to ask Cai Xiaoxiao for money.
But after taking two steps, Old Man Cai stopped again.
When he went to Lao Zhao's house yesterday, he was already stared at, and if he went again today, the people in the village were afraid that they would talk about her for a while.
He is also the head of the family, what is the matter of being muttered like this by the villagers.
Thinking like this, Old Man Cai immediately pushed his wife hard and spit out a big puff of smoke: "If you don't hurry up, the money will be taken away by others!" ”
"I'll go, I'll go, by the way, I'll see what she sells, I'll take all the money and things!" Cai Shi didn't shirk, grabbed the rag next to him, wiped the sweat on his face, and hurriedly rushed out again.
I didn't care much about the people who greeted me along the way, and rushed directly to the door of Zhao's house.
Zhao Kangcheng happened to come back from the next village, still holding a large handful of books in his hand, and the whole person looked very gentle, and collided with Cai's at the door.
"Hey, hey! Isn't this my son-in-law? Cai Shi pounced all of a sudden, and reached over to take the book: "Look at these things of yours, they must be very valuable, I'll take them for you, I'll hold them for you!" ”
"Mother-in-law?" It was the first time Zhao Kangcheng had encountered such a battle, and while holding the book in his hand, he prevaricated: "This is indeed quite heavy, so I won't trouble you, I'll take it." ”
As soon as Cai heard the word "valuable", he immediately came to his senses, where was he still polite, and reached out and snatched the book crackling, and under this pull, the page was directly torn in half by Cai.
Zhao Kangcheng's face also darkened, but he still squeezed out a smile patiently, and reached out to pick up the book on the ground: "You are too polite, let's come by myself." ”
This thing was torn in half, and Cai didn't want to fight for anything anymore, so he immediately spread his hand, sat on the ground with a snap, and half leaned against the door and shouted: "Oh, I said son-in-law, why hasn't my daughter come back yet, hasn't she made a lot of money, why don't you take it back for people to see, are you planning to swallow money!" ”
