Zhao Yushu thought for a while, and then said, "Dad, ask for more silver." Not only does she have to ask Guo for it, she will find a way to raise money. Even if Liu Paner is not satisfied, she can't kill us. Also, Li Yingniang secretly hid in the house of the third widow, and you also went to ask for silver. They didn't give money, so they told Old Man Li and Old Man Li about it. ”

Old man Zhao's eyes lit up, and he felt that his son was smart, "Good idea." ”

"Dad, those three widows are smart, don't ask the three widows, when you see Li Yingniang alone, scare Li Yingniang, and ask Li Yingniang for that idiot." Zhao Yushu reminded that he was worried that his father's method was wrong and self-defeating.

Old man Zhao nodded again and again, "I know, the third widow is powerful, only she takes advantage of others, how can she let others take advantage of her?" Li Yingniang is different, stupid and stupid, and she is most worried about being found by her parents. When I opened my mouth, I would definitely get money. ”

The family discussed the way forward, and then fell asleep.

Originally, I wanted to go over on the first day of the Lunar New Year, but when I thought of many people going to Liu Paner's house to pay New Year's greetings today, Old Man Zhao felt that it was not a good opportunity to pass now.

Old man Zhao ate the gruel at home, endured hunger, and waited until the second day of the Lunar New Year to go.

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are many adults and children who come to the house to pay New Year's greetings.

On the table were sugar and pastries, as well as several dried fruits such as fried chestnuts.

When children come to pay New Year's greetings, not only can they get their favorite sugar and dried fruits, but Liu Paner will give each child a small red envelope filled with six brand-new copper coins.

Therefore, there are many children who come to Liu Paner's side to pay New Year's greetings, and they will kowtow to Liu Paner and say auspicious words.

Liu Paner looked at these lively and active children and liked them very much.

After that, Liu Paner took the children of the family to kowtow to the elders in the village.

The first thing I went to was the house of the village chief Li next door, Mrs. Li was very old, and her seniority was also the highest in the village.

Village Chief Li has made a lot of money at home this year, and the table is also full of sugar and dried fruits, which have been put into the pockets of Li Dabao, Li Xiaobao, and Li Nan.

Not only that, but also prepared red envelopes for the six children of Liu Paner's family.

Ten cents in each red envelope, bright and clear new big money.

Liu Paner gave out a lot of red envelopes, and she took back a lot.

Liu Paner and Liu did not ask for these New Year's money from the children, and left all of them to save by themselves.

The day was lively and joyful, but except for Old Man Zhao's family.

Old man Zhao stood at the door and snorted angrily, the smell of meat wafted in other people's pots, and there was only coarse grain porridge in their pots, and it was still thin.

Old man Zhao used to spoil his son, and felt that his son was extravagant and would spend money, and he would make money in the future.

But now that he didn't eat or drink, Old Man Zhao began to complain a little more about his son.

Zhao Yushu looked at the coarse grain porridge, and was even more bored, "Dad, for the New Year, you can also get something delicious!" ”

Old man Zhao was angry and said, "I also want to eat delicious food, but what about money?" You've lost it all, where can I get you something delicious? ”

"Anyway, our family will have money in the future, you can ask other people to borrow, ask others to ask for it, it's not good for them to refuse us for the New Year!" Zhao Yushu smelled the smell of meat and swallowed his saliva.

He lay on the bed and couldn't move, so he hoped that his father and mother would go out and get something to eat.

Old man Zhao sighed when he heard this, "Do you know that I had to kneel down for those people yesterday in order to borrow medicine for you!" It was all about our poverty back then, and now it's all on our heads. Although coarse grain porridge is not delicious, you will not die of hunger if you eat it. I don't want to be humiliated. ”

Zhao Yushu had no choice but to make a bitter face and drink coarse grain porridge.

finally passed the first day of the Lunar New Year, and on the second day of the Lunar New Year, Old Man Zhao couldn't wait to come to the door.

Seeing that Old Man Zhao was not angry, Liu asked: "Mrs. Guo was seriously ill by you and is still bedridden." You dare to come to the door now, okay, hurry up and give us the medical expenses of five taels of silver! ”

If Old Man Zhao had five taels of silver, would he be as embarrassed as he is now?

Old man Zhao looked left and right and said to him, "Our family can't afford such a daughter-in-law, she is not virtuous and filial, and she can't have children, this is going to cut off the roots of our Zhao family." My son is going to take a leave of absence from the Guo family, but Xiaoya is the child of our Zhao family, and we will take it with us when we go back to our hometown. ”

When Liu Shi heard this, he rolled his eyes and couldn't see the black beads of his eyes, and he snorted anger from his nostrils.

"The words are nice, I can't let go of Xiaoya. You're going to sell Xiaoya, so that you can change hands and have silver! ”

Old man Zhao resolutely refused to admit it, "Lady Liu, don't spew blood, I can't do what Old Man Li and Mrs. Li can do." If you have pen and ink at home and help write the book, Guo will be free, and he will be able to work for Mrs. Derui in the future. But I must take the granddaughter of our Zhao family away, even if I sue the county government, I am justified. ”

Hearing the words of Liu and Old Man Zhao, many people in the family gathered around.

Liu Pan'er looked at Old Man Zhao coldly, this person was no different from Old Man Li, "Didn't you come here just to use your granddaughter to squeeze the silver out of the girl?" ”

Guo Niangzi, who was in the next ear room, hugged her daughter Zhao Xiaoya tightly, worried that her daughter would be snatched away.

Zhao Xiaoya was also trembling and very scared.

Zhou Cuihua came over to visit the door, just saw this scene, and walked up to Old Man Zhao angrily, "People are doing it, and the sky is watching." Even if you sell it for your own children and grandchildren, it won't end well! If you don't believe me, just give it a try! ”

Zhou Cuihua hated this kind of person who sold his sons and daughters the most!

If Old Man Zhao really dared to do this, when they left Jixiang Village, he would put a sack on the way and beat them up.

Originally, Old Man Zhao wanted twenty taels of silver, but under the angry eyes of everyone, he was so frightened that he didn't dare to open his mouth.

Old man Zhao smiled and said, "We don't sell our granddaughter, if the Guo family wants to keep their daughter by their side, they must give us ten taels of silver." Before, Mrs. Drey, for the sake of Ah Fang and Ah Li, did the same. ”

Liu Pan'er nodded, "Ten taels of silver is fine, but I have two requirements here." First, Guo Niangzi has always been hardworking and well received in the village, and if she is not at fault, she cannot be suspended, but divorced. Second, since you approve of my previous way of doing things and take the money, you will sign a letter of dismemberment, and it will have nothing to do with your family in the future."

Old man Zhao wanted to get the silver as soon as possible and leave here early, "Okay, I promise!" ”

Liu Paner went to the study and quickly wrote two letters of reconciliation and separation and two letters of divorce.

Guo Niangzi is literate and can write, so she did not hesitate to sign the letter of separation and severance of relatives, and pressed her handprint.

Old man Zhao seemed to be worried that Guo Niangzi and Liu Paner would regret it, so he also pressed his handprint.

Many villagers testified and put their fingerprints on them, and this was the human and material evidence in the future.

Old man Zhao happily took the silver and left, with these ten taels of silver, it was enough to return to Xunyang Mansion, and there was still a surplus.

Coupled with the silver given by the government, you can also live a little more nourishing along the way.

When I returned to my hometown, the government distributed seeds, and the hundreds of acres of land at home could be planted again.

Old man Zhao's behavior was hated by everyone, and he couldn't help but scold.

Liu Pan'er looked coldly at the back of Old Man Zhao leaving, her silver was not so easy to take. It's just that she hasn't done it yet, and some people can't help it, and they are even more ruthless.
