Chapter 5: Divorced (5)
Huo Qianna looked at Ning Xue'er's appearance that she had never seen the world, and couldn't help but despise it in her heart: a hillbilly is a hillbilly.
Everyone entered the hall, and after they were seated one by one, Huo Qianna came up with tea. This tea is brewed with top-quality Biluo spring, so it is fragrant when it is served.
Where have the people of the Ning family ever drunk such good tea, they don't understand tea, and they can't taste tea, Ning Da Niu and Ning Da Zhuang drank it in one go.
Looking at the cow drinks of those vulgar people, Huo Qianna really felt ten thousand disgusts in her heart, and it was a waste to give these people top-grade Biluochun to drink.
After finishing the tea, Mrs. Ning cut to the chase, "Village chief, do you want to get out of the marriage?" ”
After decades, Mrs. Ning's temperament has not changed at all, she goes straight and will not go around the corner.
Huo Fugui looked embarrassed, nodded awkwardly, and said, "That's right, my grandson doesn't seem to like Xue'er very much." ”
"Huo Fugui!" Mrs. Ning gritted her teeth and shouted, she immediately got up, pointed at the village chief and scolded: "You can't be ungrateful, I think back then, when you were taking the Xiucai exam, our whole family smashed the pot and sold iron to make you two taels of silver, and you have today's status." ”
"If there is no family in our family, you, you," Mrs. Ning was so angry that she held the table with one hand and covered her chest with the other, and she couldn't say everything.
"Oh, sister-in-law, you can't be in a hurry, if you get angry, it's mine again."
Seeing this, Huo Fugui hurriedly handed a sip of tea to Mrs. Ning.
He continued to promise: "We are not right in this matter, if your family has any requirements, just put them forward, I will try my best to meet them." ”
Liu's eyes rolled, she immediately squeezed out two tears, and cried, "Our poor Xue'er has been divorced, how can we find my in-laws in the future." ”
Xu was infected, and Ding and Zhang couldn't help but cry.
Ning Dachuan saw the opportunity and said to the village chief: "Village chief, you see, it is difficult for us Xue'er to marry, if this dowry is not rich, then ......"
"It's easy to say, it's easy to say," the village chief nodded with a smile, and then he asked, "Ten taels of silver is enough, right?" ”
Ten taels? Liu's tears suddenly stopped, and the village chief sent the Ning family as a flower!
The smile on Ning Dachuan's face also froze, but he was embarrassed to speak anymore, he was a scholar, and bargaining was not what he was good at.
"Whew! Just like that, you want to send our family away, Huo Fugui, you really want to be beautiful! ”
At the critical moment, Mrs. Ning was powerful again. As soon as she spoke, Huo Fugui's head lowered a little more, and he endured the pain and added another five taels.
Just when the Ning family still wanted to bargain, the Yu family came in angrily, "I, Aunt Ning, don't be embarrassed, how has our wealth helped your family over the years, you don't know in your heart?" You always talk about those old sesame seeds and rotten grains, it's interesting! ”
Yu's entry has made this negotiation even more complicated. Two stingy women got together, and they could do anything for the silver.
"Yo yo yo, big sister, what you said is not right, where is our Xue'er, there is nothing to say about the appearance, it is a good hand to handle housework, who in these ten miles and eight villages does not praise, if it were not for the marriage contract with your family, we would have climbed into a good marriage. But now, you say that you will quit the marriage, where do we Xue'er go to find a good family? ”
The implication of Mrs. Ning's words is that if you delay Xue'er's marriage, you have to pay for it.
Where is the Yu family willing to pay for the silver, she immediately replied: "Yo Yo Yo, this is to put gold on your face, your girl is just going to do some rough work, we Huo Fu will be famous in the future, how can you Xue'er be worthy of us, it is better to withdraw from the marriage now, so as not to suffer in the future." ”
"I'm sorry, I haven't been admitted yet, but I look down on people, if you want me to say, let's quit this marriage today, and an ungrateful person like you will never be able to marry."
Mrs. Ning shook her head thoughtfully, as if she was very dissatisfied with Huo Fu.
"Retreat, retreat, anyway, we Huo Fu can't look down on that dead girl in your family, graceful, quickly bring a pen and paper, and let your father write a letter of divorce to send them out."
Yu quickly sent Huo Qianna to bring paper and pencils, and she couldn't wait to send these plague gods away.
"Wait, this compensation hasn't been negotiated yet, why did you start writing a divorce letter?"
"Reparations? Bah, you don't pee like yourself, even your country girl wants compensation? ”
Yu crossed his waist and got up with Ning Pozi.
Being so insulted, where could Mrs. Ning swallow this breath, she reached out and pulled Yu's hair, seeing that the two were about to fight, Huo Fugui hurriedly pulled Yu away, and scolded loudly: "Old woman, you are not in good health, why do you come out without stopping?" ”
"Okay, good, you're amazing, I don't care about this." Yu left in a huff.
Huo Fugui glanced at the people of the Ning family, and he was neither humble nor arrogant: "Aunt Ning, ten taels of silver plus ten acres of wasteland, if there is more, our family will be gone, you see?" ”
Ten acres of wasteland? Ning Pozi's eyes rolled, and she made a small calculation in her heart, although the wasteland is also land, but the soil quality is not good, you can't grow rice, you can barely grow soybeans, and the price of wasteland is low, it is difficult to sell, how is it not as comfortable as the white silver to hold.
She shook her head and refused, "Don't waste land, we'll ask for silver." ”
Mrs. Ning disagreed, Huo Fugui had to persuade bitterly, "Auntie, I did this completely for Xue'er's sake, you think, there will always be a day when the silver will run out, but the land will not run away if it is placed there, and in the future, which young man will not compete to marry her when he hears that Xue'er has a dowry of ten acres of land?" ”
Looking at the village chief's eloquent appearance, the corners of Ning Xue'er's mouth couldn't help but rise, this village chief really has a way of persuading people.
"I'm sorry," Ning Daniu couldn't help but sip at the village chief, and he revealed mercilessly, "Village chief, a few years ago, you relied on the position of the village chief to buy more than a dozen acres of wasteland at a low price, and now you can't sell it, and you want to give it to us, I tell you that there is no door, we don't want land, we want silver." ”
The fig leaf was ruthlessly ripped off, and the village chief suddenly lost face, he immediately became angry and had a tough attitude, "Our family can only come up with such compensation, you look at it, agree that we will withdraw from the marriage amicably, if you don't agree, you will go out!" ”
The village chief was angry, and everyone was stunned, except for the old woman Ning, who looked directly at the village chief and said righteously, "Since the village chief wants to cheat, then my wife has no choice but to crash to death here and let the official master judge it." ”
As soon as the words fell, Ning Pozi rushed towards the wall, that speed, that strength, if it really hit it, it would definitely be splashed with blood on the spot.
Thanks to Ning Lao's quick eyes, he strode forward a few times, and reached out to grab Mrs. Ning's collar to avoid this tragedy.
"Mother, you can't do anything, you can't have anything." Ning Dazhuang hugged Ning Pozi's thigh and cried.
Everyone present was apprehensive, especially the village chief, this Ning Pozi was simply a madman, if she really died here, he, the village chief, would also be able to do it.
In an instant, the village chief coaxed again.
He personally went to help Mrs. Ning up, and persuaded her with good words, "Auntie, they are all family members, and they have something to say, so it's easy to say." ”
"Okay, then take thirty taels of silver, and say anything."
Ning Pozi opened his mouth and asked for thirty taels of silver at one time.
The village chief was dumbfounded, thirty taels was not a small amount, and he couldn't take it out at all.
Huo Fugui was so anxious that he scratched his ears and cheeks, he had no choice but to repeat his old tricks, "Mrs. Ning, Xue'er is just a little peasant girl, where do you need such a rich dowry, I think, twenty taels is more than enough." ”
Where is Ning Pozi willing to let in, she cried and shouted to hit the wall again, the scene was chaotic again, just when everyone was in a mess, Ning Xue'er stood up, she shouted loudly: "Grandma, don't be impulsive, listen to me first." ”
Everyone was stunned, and they all looked at Ning Xue'er. Ning Xue'er knelt on the ground with a "poof" and began to cry, "Milk, uncle, second uncle, I know that you are all for my good, but Huo Fu and I have no fate and can't force it." ”
Saying that, Ning Xue'er turned around again and kowtowed to the village chief, "Grandpa the village chief, you have difficulties, Xue'er understands, so Xue'er doesn't ask for much, I just hope that the village chief's grandfather can give twenty acres of wasteland as Xue'er's dowry." ”
Twenty acres of wasteland? The village chief's eyes lit up, this little girl was much more reasonable than her elders who could only mess around.
"Good boy, hurry, hurry up," the village chief hurriedly helped Ning Xue'er up, and he confirmed it again, "What you just said is true?" Didn't you coax me? ”
Ning Xue'er nodded, and as soon as she wanted to speak, the Liu family began to sneer, "Yo Yo Yo, the third child, your daughter is really amazing, she is in charge of such a big matter, how can she have us elders in her eyes!" ”
Ning Dazhuang's ears were red when he was said, he hurriedly put on a straight face and reprimanded Ning Xue'er, "What nonsense, your grandmother, your uncle, second uncle and I are here, where is your turn to speak, don't shut up quickly." ”
Ning Xue'er closed her mouth aggrievedly, Huo Fugui finally found a life-saving straw, where would she let it go.
He put up the village chief's score, "Go and go, what nonsense are you talking about, it was Xue'er who was divorced, and she didn't have the right to speak, so you have to stand aside." ”
Liu Shi saw that the thirty taels of silver that were about to arrive flew away, and she was not in a hurry, "Mother, listen, this Xue'er's wings are really hard, and I don't even pay attention to you." ”
Ning Pozi was enraged, she scolded, "I don't know how thick the sky is, Xiao Nizi, if you talk again, I'll break your mouth now!" ”
Ning Xue'er was so frightened that she hurriedly covered her mouth, Huo Fugui patted her on the shoulder, and supported her: "Don't be afraid, there is me." ”
