Chapter 119: Something Isn't Right
When Xu Miao heard this, she didn't react, but nodded slowly, indicating that she heard it. And Old Man Xu faced Xu Miao's reaction, in addition to being surprised, he was more unsure.
This...... How should he go on with this? Will this girl ...... Before Old Man Xu could figure out what to say next, Lu Shi on the side had a pair of red and swollen eyes, and then wrung a handful of snot loudly, and said in a dumb voice:
"The family is in trouble now, the silver is gone, the daughter-in-law and daughter-in-law have run away, and life is difficult!"
Yo, this is the husband and wife, they all say the same thing, but Lu Shi's obvious thoughts are waiting for someone to take the bait, but Xu Miao still lowered his head and played with the corners of his clothes as if he hadn't heard it.
The people on the side of the old mansion, including Mr. Xu, are all greedy people, only they take advantage of others, but no one takes advantage of them, and now in broad daylight, they have been cheated of a full eighty taels of silver, which is indeed enough for these people to worry and get angry.
And through this incident, Xu Miao really saw the financial resources of the old mansion, she believed that the Lu family must still have money in her hands, if Xu Hanyang married a daughter-in-law in the town, it would cost eighty taels, then the family had to be able to spread out this silver.
Anything else she doesn't admire Lu and Old Man Xu, but this life, that is really admired, before the separation, the family had three meals a day, and the meals were all the same, stick noodle porridge, black noodles, stick noodle wotou, a stew without oil stars.
Although the silver was earned by the father of the original owner and hired by the Ding family, more of it was saved by the old couple from between their teeth, and every year the grain in those fields was basically sold for silver money and then accumulated.
Xu Miao thought of this, and suddenly felt a little glad that they had separated and came out alone, if they were still on the side of the old mansion at the moment, this was missing eighty taels of silver, then what to use to make up for this hole, I must know without thinking about it.
After Lu Shi said that, he waited for a long time and didn't see Xu Miao say anything, and he couldn't help but feel a little unhappy, but at this time, he had a request from others, so he naturally couldn't lose his temper, bit his lower lip, raised his eyelids and looked at Xu Miao, waiting for her to speak.
But the left can't hear it, and the right class can't hear it.
couldn't help but feel a little angry, and just about to have a seizure, Zheng on the side spoke:
"Sister Miao, this is your brother Han Yang marrying a wife, that is a big deal in our old house, the Zhao family's family background cannot be compared with the Ding family, but compared with our family, then we are not worthy of others."
"Yesterday, your uncle went to find someone from the Zhao family, and they also liked your brother Han Yang, saying that your eldest brother is dignified, and he is going to take the child exam this fall, there must be no problem, so this family business is still counted."
"The old Zhao family said, let us pay a dowry of fifty taels and forget it, the fifty taels of silver, the old Zhao family doesn't want it, and let your sister-in-law bring it back when the time comes."
"Sister Miao, you know the situation at home, it's really ...... There's no more money, you see...... Can you help put it on first, and when your sister-in-law enters the door, the fifty taels of silver will definitely be returned to you, just pour it, okay?! ”
After Zheng finished speaking, he looked at Xu Miao with a blank eye, that pitiful appearance, people who don't know Zheng must be very sympathetic. Of course, it's just sympathetic, after all, that's fifty taels of silver, not fifty copper plates.
Xu Miao looked at the Zheng family, and wanted to laugh a little in her heart, this guy really dared to speak, he would ask for fifty taels of silver for a mouth, and what did she say, she absolutely believed that if this money was given, it would be a meat bun beating a dog, and there would be no return.
Don't say that she doesn't have so much on hand now, even if she has so much, it is impossible to give them to them, and then look at Old Man Xu and the Lu family, the old couple obviously don't know, otherwise they wouldn't have a blank pair of eyes.
Looking at Xu Hanyang again, the originally slumped shoulders and drooping head, when he heard Zheng's words, he was also like a full-blooded resurrection, and he came to his spirit. What is this Zheng going to do? Why didn't anyone in the old mansion know what she said? Xu Miao shook her head gently, sighed, and said:
"Auntie, it's not that I don't help you, but this ...... That's fifty taels of silver, and I don't have that much silver. You look at my tofu shop as if it is making money, but it is all a small amount of money, besides, it has only been profitable for less than three months, and I am ...... There's really nothing you can do. ”
Since you play poor cards, then I will accompany you to the end. Anyway, it's impossible to want silver, but it's okay to talk to you for a while. Old Man Xu and the Lu family didn't expect Xu Miao to refuse, after all, the Zheng family said that after people marry into the door, they will return it to her, but-
Old Man Xu smoked a dry cigarette, looked at Xu Miao and sighed heavily, and said:
"Alas! I can't write two Xu characters in one stroke, we are blood relatives with discounted bones and tendons, you ...... Sister Miao, this silver ......"
"Master, we have just eaten a full meal, you can't just want the eldest grandson and not our four grandsons and granddaughters." Xu Miao frowned, turned her head to stare at Old Man Xu, and felt that the old man was full of excitement, she continued with satisfaction,
"I don't know what the Zhao family looks like, and I don't know what the eldest brother marries a wife, but he has been cheated of eighty taels of silver, and he has to be married to others, master, what do you think?"
"I ......"
"Master, tell us the four of you when you are young, what do you say about the number of female matchmakers, how much ability you can endure and how many days, these big truths, have you forgotten?!" Xu Miao didn't wait for the old man to finish speaking, and directly interrupted his words.
At the beginning of this matter, Xu Miao was quite sympathetic to the old house, after all, it was eighty taels of silver, but if you think about it carefully, you feel that something is wrong, you have been cheated of eighty taels of silver, and you still remember to eat and fight to be close to others? What do you think? Do you have a long brain?!
Xu Miao is too lazy to worry about whether they have long brains, this will only make them worry about staying in the old mansion, it is better to go home freely, thinking of this, Xu Miao got off the kang, stood on the ground and looked at Xu Hanyang, drooping his head, unable to see the expression, but the collapsed shoulders can be concluded that this thing really wants to marry the daughter of the Zhao family.
But if you want to marry, you have to have that ability, and you haven't earned fifty taels of silver, so you want to marry a daughter-in-law of fifty taels of silver, tsk...... This Xu Hanyang is really a young master.
"Grandpa, grandma, I'll go back first, there's a lot of work in the tofu workshop at home, if the eldest brother is here to let Xu Mo tell me, there is no more money, but I can still follow the gift, this person is favored, I understand!"
After Xu Miao threw down these words, he turned around and left the old mansion, and as soon as Xu Miao left with his front foot, Lu Shi looked at Zheng with a black face and asked:
"Eldest daughter-in-law, what the hell is going on? Didn't you say just now that the Zhao family is still related to our family, fifty taels of silver? What's going on, you tell me. ”
Zheng, who was directly named, is undoubtedly the focus of the family at this moment, and everyone's eyes are on her. Seeing this, Xu Zhengjiang on the side hurriedly opened his mouth to help the daughter-in-law relieve the siege, saying:
"Mother, this is actually the case, didn't I go to the old Zhao family to theorize yesterday, they also said, they don't know that girl at all, and they are very distressed that our family was deceived, which reduced the silver of the dowry, and at first people asked for two hundred taels."
"Two hundred taels? Phew! Lu Shi spat on the ground directly, and scolded with disgust, "What is his old Zhao family, thinking that his daughter is a phoenix, the mother's life, and two hundred taels of silver, how can he open his mouth to ask for it, sell the girl?" I-"
After a scolding from Balabala, Xu Zhengjiang and his wife didn't squeak, just listened to it, and only waited for Lu Shi to finish scolding and pull down to explain before explaining......
……
When Xu Miao returned home, she didn't tell Xu Ya about borrowing money from the old house, she didn't think anything about it just now, but after returning home now, how did she think about it and feel that something was wrong.
According to Zheng's smart energy, it is impossible to be a person who can still be close to someone after being deceived, what is going on? First it was eighty taels of silver, and now it is fifty taels of silver.
If Xu Hanyang really wants to marry that Zhao, when the marriage ceremony is held, he will definitely spend more silver, and at least ten taels of silver will be needed to set up a table and receive relatives.
A full hundred and forty taels of silver, I'll go, and I'll only marry a daughter-in-law, tsk......
However, through this incident that happened in the old mansion today, Xu Miao was a little alert, in the future, this San Lang and Xiao Wu will discuss the relatives, she has to think about it, how the woman's family background is secondary, you have to look at their behavior first, if this person is not good, it is estimated that the daughter-in-law will not be able to have it.
San Lang is twelve years old this year, five or six years younger, and it seems that he is considering marrying a daughter-in-law...... "Hehe......" Xu Miao suddenly laughed, which made Xu Ya, who was holding the silk thread on the side, stunned for a moment, looked at his eldest sister's appearance, and asked in wonder:
"Sister, what's the matter, making you so happy."
"It's nothing, sister, go see how the beans are soaked, you can stay by yourself." Xu Miao threw down this sentence, got up and went to the lower house......
……
With the help of Xu Liang, the factory building was finally started, forty people dug the foundation, the scene was really spectacular, those in the village who could be named, what Chunzhu, Chunwang, Da Zhuang, Erzhuang, Qing Nian...... But one of them fell, and all of them were there.
Xu Miao looked at these people and admired Xu Liang in his heart, what this person was looking for was definitely the one who had to put his thumb up, and the forty people were all well-known in the village who were capable and impatient.
Basically, when planting land every year, these people's land will be planted faster by other people's families, look at the soil dug up with a spade, you can't accept it, this is the work.
Xu Miao took a look at the noodles and went to the town, seeing that it was about to be the Dragon Boat Festival, this bag of zongzi and boiled eggs are the favorite of rural people...... Fenghuaju first update
