"Sister, I'm sorry for you." At this time, Zhong Ying seemed to have suddenly figured it out, and said: "It's my brother I'm sorry, I've always used your marriage as a bargaining chip, always thinking about marrying you off to get a huge dowry, and I never considered whether you were willing, nor did I consider whether you would be happy when you married, it's my brother who is sorry for you." ”

Saying that, he really shifted his direction and kowtowed to Yun Niang.

Yun Niang hurriedly took a few steps back, dodged Zhong Ying's kneeling, and said leisurely: "Brother, do you remember the past? You used to be so good to me, I still remember that year Wang Yuanwai's family opened an ice cellar, at that time our family was still poor, you took out all your savings, but just bought a small piece, and when you came back, the ice was already only the size of a fingernail, you gave it to me with a blank eye, but I don't know when it started, you treated me completely different. ”

"Since my sister-in-law came to our house, you have been cold to me day by day, I used to say that I wanted to put paper kites, you would make a few for me, and then I begged you to do it for me, you said there was no time."

"I don't want to marry that person, you said they were rich and gave us a lot of money, you used to say that you would prepare ten miles of red makeup for me to marry, but then I only saw a broken wooden box and a few threads."

"I was abandoned and went home, you said that you would support me for the rest of my life, but within a few days, you spoke coldly to me, I knew that I had disgraced you, but was all this what I wanted?"

"I went to work at the shopkeeper Ye's house, and the annual salary was given to you and my sister-in-law early, but what did I get in the end? All my efforts are insignificant in your eyes, and I am only worthy of a bad old man in your heart, and I am no longer a person in your eyes, but equal to cold money. ”

"Sister, don't say it, it's my brother who is sorry for you." Zhong Ying heard Yun Niang say all this lightly, he couldn't help but hide his face and cry, he was really ashamed of everything Yun Niang said.

"Brother don't blame yourself, you haven't been sorry for me." Yun Niang took two steps back, stood behind Liu Man'er, and said, "It's just that from now on, I have nothing to do with you, please don't come to disturb my life." ”

"Zhong Ying, did you hear what Yun Niang said?" Liu Man'er asked.

Zhong Ying kept silent, just nodded heavily.

Only then did Liu Man'er look at her head and said, "Please ask the county master to decide." ”

"Hearing your words, the official already knows the ins and outs of this matter in his heart, as for the verdict, Zhong Ying will return two hundred taels of silver to the shopkeeper Ye, and then fine one hundred taels of silver, do you have any objections?"

"There is no objection." Zhong Ying kowtowed and accepted this trial!

"I have an objection!" Zhong Wang shouted on the side, "Why, why did we return the silver money, and asked us to give us a hundred taels of silver, I don't accept it, she was originally the daughter of the Zhong family, and it is reasonable for us to do this." ”

"Presumptuous!" Hearing Zhong Wang's rebuttal, the county magistrate slapped the wood in shock and shouted: "This move is not only unreasonable, but also illegal!" You are ruthless and unrighteous in doing this, and it is already very good that the official did not put you in prison, but you shrew, you still have to quibble! ”

Zhong Ying pulled Zhong Wang's sleeve and said, "Don't say it anymore." ”

"I'm not doing this for your good, this is a hundred taels of silver, how long will it take us to earn it?" Zhong Wang burst into tears.

Zhong Ying hurriedly pulled her aside and said, "Okay, don't cry, I only understand now that money is a trivial matter, and it is not that important." ”

"Not that important?!" Zhong Wang glared at Zhong Ying angrily and cried: "I am reluctant to eat and wear the one hundred taels I saved!" In her eyes, the loss of a hundred taels of silver was worse than cutting her heart.

Liu Man'er and Yun Niang watched from the side and couldn't help laughing, even if Zhong Wang's family refused, they could only accept it, after all, it was better to give money than to go to prison, a few people walked out of the county office, and Zhong Wang's family on the side rushed up to beat Yun Niang, and was stopped by Zhong Ying.

"Have you had enough?" Zhong Ying grabbed Zhong Wang's clothes and raised his hand towards her.

"How dare you hit me?" Zhong Wangshi looked at Zhong Ying's raised hand, and she almost couldn't believe this result, "For so many years, I have given birth to children for you and taken care of your family, but you still dare to beat me?" ”

As she spoke, she stretched out her hand to grab Zhong Ying, Zhong Ying didn't answer her words this time, he grabbed her hand and said, "You don't respect your in-laws, you don't love your sister-in-law, and you make a mess of my originally harmonious family, if you make trouble again, believe it or not, I divorced you?" ”

"Divorce me? Don't you dare! Zhong Wang's family is also very tough, after all, her brother is a master in the county government, and she can also speak, Zhong Ying has always been obedient to her on weekdays, and respects her.

"You see if I dare." This time, Zhong Ying seemed to have suddenly woken up, and said: "I didn't see your nature clearly before, if you do this again, don't blame me for being unkind to me!" ”

"You!" When Zhong Wang's family saw Zhong Ying's angry appearance, he softened suddenly, he belonged to a cow, and when he was angry, he would do anything, and she didn't dare to provoke him.

Seeing that her momentum weakened and made a timid appearance like a little daughter-in-law, Zhong Ying softened again and said, "Yun Niang will still be my sister in the future, but she is free, you are not allowed to go to her for trouble, you know?" ”

"Got it." Although Zhong Wang promised on his lips, he didn't know what he thought in his heart.

"Anyway, if you dare to make trouble again, I have a way to cure you." Liu Man'er mended the knife on the side and said, "When the time comes, you won't be so easy to get out." ”

"Humph!" Zhong Wang's family was not as soft as Liu Man'er was to Zhong Ying, she snorted coldly at her, and said, "I didn't know that Shopkeeper Ye was still such a despicable villain. ”

"Today you know." Liu Man'er raised her eyebrows, took Yun Niang's hand, and said, "Let's go, Yun Niang, let's go to the Bazhen Pavilion in the county seat to buy candied fruit." ”

"Hmm." Yun Niang nodded heavily.

Liu Man'er laughed.

Zhong Wang's back when she saw the two of them leaving hand in hand, her teeth itched with anger, she really lost a lot today, not only did the two hundred taels of silver she just received gone, but she also pasted one hundred taels of silver upside down, and she was even warned that she was not allowed to take care of Yun Niang's affairs in the future.

She was a big loss.

She looked up at her husband beside her again, and saw him staring at the back of the two leaving, she couldn't see the look in her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a pain in her heart.

The two walked home silently, Zhong Ying's mood was very low along the way, he recalled what he had done to his sister over the years, and turned a blind eye to her when she needed help the most. And Zhong Wang's family is even more depressed, she is still worried about her money.

As for Liu Man'er and Yun Niang, they were relaxed, Yun Niang was relaxed about her own freedom, and even more relaxed when she said the words that she had always hidden in her heart, she had long wanted to ask Zhong Ying, but now that she finally said it, she only felt extremely relaxed in her heart, and even looked at the sky outside and felt bluer than before.

Liu Man'er saw Yun Niang's brisk steps, her face had a bright expression, not as restrained as before, and she felt very happy in her heart, she pulled Yun Niang and said, "Let's go, let's go shopping." ”

"Mistress, do you want to buy jewelry?" When she looked up and saw the signboard of this shop, Yun Niang was stunned, this is not the Bazhen Pavilion where you buy candied fruits.

"That's right." Liu Man'er smiled and pulled Yun Niang into the shop.

"Shopkeeper, do you have any good-looking faces?" Liu Man'er walked in and asked.

"Yes." When the shopkeeper heard Liu Man'er's question, he glanced Liu Man'er up and down, and saw that she didn't look like such a person who was short of money, and knew that she was a big customer, and her face was immediately full of smiles, "We have several new sets of beautiful heads here, do you want gold or silver?" ”

"It's all right, let's take a look first." Liu Man'er nodded, and a clever Xiao Er came over on the side, led Liu Man'er and the two to a corner to sit down, and served tea again, "Wait a minute, the shopkeeper will bring the head face here immediately." ”

"Hmm." Liu Man'er nodded, sipped the tea quietly, and said, "Your tea is not bad." ”

Xiao Er smiled shyly, "Guest officer, if you like it, it's fine." ”

After a while, the shopkeeper came over with a tray, on which were placed a few silver combs inlaid with jade, a jade scratching head, a gold cloth shake, and a few gold hairpins inlaid with precious stones.

"This set of heads is very good-looking, especially the hairpin, you see, this orchid on this is so beautiful." Yun Niang's eyes couldn't help but light up when she looked at these things.

"Do you think it looks good?" Liu Man'er picked up the hairpin and said, "I think so too, it's quite exquisite." ”

"Do you like it?" The shopkeeper on the side waited until they had seen almost everything before asking.

"I like it, but let's take a look at the other sets." Liu Man'er said.

"Yes, yes, yes." The shopkeeper nodded, and walked over to take the head.

I have been looking at several sets, but Liu Man'er and Yun Niang agreed that the first set was the best-looking, Liu Man'er asked the price, it was not expensive, just one hundred and twenty taels of silver, she bought it without blinking, and then bought earrings, necklaces and a pair of bracelets, all after buying, Liu Man'er took Yun Niang to a cloth shop and bought a few good red cloths, and then took Yun Niang home.

In fact, when she watched Liu Man'er buy red cloth, Yun Niang was already very puzzled, and when the people from Liu Man'er cloth shop sent these things to her home, and Liu Man'er asked her to keep them, she woke up like a dream: "This ......"

"Yes, this red cloth is for you, and these heads are also for you." Liu Man'er stuffed these brains into Yun Niang's arms and said, "Marry my second brother, although he can't speak, he is a responsible man, and I don't dare to promise you what will happen to him in the future, but now, I believe that he must love you very well." ”
