Chapter 45: Money Trouble
"It's not a big deal to find your daughter-in-law, isn't it going to be the New Year, the family has to use silver everywhere, what your mother and I mean is to let your daughter-in-law take out the five taels of silver in her hand first, and then talk about this New Year." Father Kong's expression was serious, and if he was serious, it would be as if the county magistrate was sitting in the public court and pronouncing the sentence to the prisoner.
The corners of Su Wanniang's mouth twitched violently, and she silently glanced at Kong Zhishu, squeezed her eyes, turned her attention again, and said, "Daddy, I'm penniless, where did I get five taels of silver?" ”
"The third daughter-in-law, if you have it, don't hide it and be reluctant to take it out, you are married to the third daughter-in-law, and you are also a member of this family, the family is not having a good time, since you have money in hand, you naturally have to take it out for emergency response." When Father Kong heard Su Wanniang's denial, he only blew his beard and glared, "It's all a family, this money is spent on your own family, is it possible that you have wronged your silver?" ”
"Dad, if you spend money on your own family, you will naturally not be wronged by the silver, the key is, I don't have any silver, where can I go to steal or rob the silver for you to use in an emergency? At the beginning, who in these ten miles and eight villages didn't know that my Su Wanniang was left of the house by the Shen family and didn't even take away a piece of clothing? Where does the money come from? What Su Wanniang wanted to say even more was that she really wanted to escape with five taels of silver, of course the Kong family felt that she was not wronged by the silver, but she felt that she had been wronged herself!
"Third brother and sister, it's not right for you to deceive! At the beginning, I heard you and your third brother outside your house say that you had some broken silver. When Xu heard that Su Wanniang didn't admit that she was in a hurry, if she didn't take it out, wouldn't she have been working for Su Wanniang in vain these days, and she was the one who helped boil medicine and deliver food when Kong Zhishu was away!
"Second sister-in-law, this person who overhears the conversation is quite arrogant." Kong Zhishu stood behind several people, and Sen Sen's next sentence directly made Xu speechless.
Since it was the Xu family who overheard the words, Su Wanniang knew that it was impossible to continue to shirk the penniless, but it was easy for her to push away her lack of five taels of silver, "Second sister-in-law, although I still have some silver on my body, I didn't say that there are as many as five taels, everyone knows what kind of person the old lady of the Shen family is, can she let me touch the family's money?" What's more, let me take away five taels of silver? ”
The Shen family, especially Shen Lao Niang, is definitely a notoriously stingy in ten miles and eight villages, Su Wanniang was also ugly and famous in several villages, everyone said that Su Wanniang didn't want to marry in this life, but who knows, this Shen family just makes people fall through their glasses!
This Shen Fanghou has reached the age when it is time to say goodbye, and Shen Lao Niang actually went to the Su family to propose marriage, and the dowry of this proposal is six eggs, saying that it is an auspicious picture.
This old lady of the Su family is also a strange one, and she accepted these six eggs to marry out because she was afraid that her fat daughter would be too ugly to marry, so she would eat at home for a lifetime!
Obviously, this Shen Lao Niang went to the Su family to propose marriage in order to save money on the dowry, and also to save the need to invite a matchmaker, etc., in Shen Lao Niang's opinion, this daughter-in-law is married for two purposes: work and give birth to grandchildren, although the fat daughter of the Su family is ugly, she is honest and diligent, so Shen Lao Niang thinks that it is worth it to exchange six eggs for a person who gives birth to a grandson and works for the Shen family! This calculation, I was happy and didn't even tell my son, and I gave my family affairs right away!
But I don't want to, Shen Fanghou is a temperamental, on the day of marriage, when he saw that the bride was several times uglier and fatter than he imagined, he left home angrily, you know, although before getting married, Shen Fanghou was laughed at by the villagers because he decided that the fat daughter of the Su family, but Shen Fanghou still had a trace of fantasy, in fact, the daughter of the Su family was not ugly to the point that others said.
In the memory of the deity, on the night of the cave room, Shen Fanghou, who was the groom, lifted the bride's veil, and at a glance, he was so frightened that he screamed and fell directly to the ground and screamed ghosts, and then angrily dropped the red candle in the cave room and left the new house directly.
