Chapter 38: Twenty taels of silver for my family

Cheng Qingwan smiled at the corner of her mouth, and said softly: "I want to come to Mrs. This time is short, I don't know Zhao Di's temperament, a few years ago, she even said that she died in a sedan chair." ”

The pavilion chief's wife's face changed, and she did not speak.

"I know her temperament, I'm afraid that when the cave room spends a candle night, she will kill herself with scissors, and at that time, will your sick man get worse when he sees it? You don't want to turn a happy event into a funeral on your wedding day. ”

"You're threatening me?" The pavilion chief's wife's face darkened, and she said in a deep voice.

"Yes." Cheng Qingwan raised her eyebrows: "I don't hide it from Mrs., I have also had a few encounters with Wei Xianling, and I can be regarded as talking." If Mrs. insisted on this marriage, then on the day of marriage, I had to ask Wei Xianling to take people to watch the bride. ”

"You!" The pavilion chief's wife thought for a moment and swallowed her words.

She just wanted a virtuous woman to take over the sick man, and she didn't really want to make a fuss.

What's more, if Wei County's order is alarmed, then her master's future will be broken.

"Wei'er, go and ask Mrs. Qi to come out."

"Sister, did you compromise like this?" Su Yunwei said differently: "Their parents didn't say anything, why do you want to listen to this irrelevant person?" ”

The pavilion chief's wife lowered her eyebrows slightly, covering the edge in her eyes: "Don't talk nonsense, go." ”

Su Yunwei pursed her lips and reluctantly invited the matchmaker out.

Cheng Qingwan watched this scene, smiled, and then walked into the house.

She sat on the edge of Song Zhaodi's bed and asked softly: "If this marriage is withdrawn, I am afraid you will not be able to stay in this house, have you ever thought of retreating?" ”

"I want to take my sisters to the town to find some work, but I don't know what is reliable."

Cheng Qingwan blinked and said softly: "There is an embroidery building in the town, which is dedicated to taking in women, you might as well try it." Even if you don't know how to embroider, you can do something else. ”

Song Zhaodi nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, I'll find a chance to go." ”

Cheng Qingwan stuffed three taels of silver into her hand and said softly: "I only have so much on me, you take it first." ”

"What, divorce?" Qin's voice sounded outside: "No, absolutely not, is it Cheng Qingwan's cheap girl who said something to you, she is not from our family at all, what she says doesn't count!" ”

The pavilion chief's wife looked at the appearance of the person in front of her, and wanted to speak several times, but she was blocked by this loud voice.

Her face was cold, and she said sharply: "Zhao Di is a good girl, our second master has been sick for a long time, and it is really not good to delay her." We will return the respective tokens, tear up the marriage certificate, and return the dowry. This marriage, so be it. ”

As soon as the Qin family heard the retirement ceremony, he immediately sat on the ground and cried: "How can I withdraw the dowry, what can my son do if the dowry is returned, I can't return it." Madam, I have three daughters, you can pick one at will, you can ask for all three, and the dowry cannot be refunded. ”

She crawled over, hugged her wife's thigh, and cried loudly.

"You shrew, let go, my sister is pregnant, where can you be so aggressive!" Su Yunwei hurriedly went up and blocked in front of her.

When Qin Shi heard this, his eyes lit up: "Madame is pregnant, isn't the pavilion chief unaccompanied?" Of the three girls in my family, you can choose any one to go back. ”

Hearing this, Mrs. Qi scolded this old stupid woman in her heart, how could she sell her own girl to be a concubine with the main room.

The pavilion chief's wife was still self-contained, and she didn't kick her away: "You hurry up, otherwise, I will order someone to arrest you in prison!" ”

This threat really worked, and Qin quickly let go of his hand and pushed it aside, still shouting in his mouth that he would not return the dowry.

"Mrs. Qi, be sure to help me handle the dowry properly." After the pavilion chief's wife said this, she got into the carriage without stopping, afraid that she would rush over again.

Cheng Qingwan and Song Qiaoqiao happened to walk out at this time, and they wanted to leave like this, but as soon as the people in the corner saw her, they rushed up to fight.

"You little slut, what kind of trouble did you come to my house to make trouble, your family is all women, so you can't see my family recruiting Di to marry well!"

Cheng Qingwan took a step back, dodged her attack, and sneered: "Even if my family is a woman, I won't sell my daughter for a few taels of silver." ”

As soon as the Qin family heard this, they immediately stood up and scolded angrily: "What do you mean by selling, I raised my daughter so big, shouldn't I give a few taels of dowry?" In this marriage, as long as she is married, she will not lack food and drink. What if the man is a sick man, as long as he can eat a full stomach. What's more, there is a monthly case, and our family can enjoy happiness with it, what's so bad? ”

Cheng Qingwan rolled her eyes, didn't bother to talk to her again, and pulled Song Qiaoqiao out of the way.

The Qin family was still crying and scolding in their yard, from the Cheng family to Song Qiaoqiao and then to Widow Liu, everyone who passed by was accustomed to it, and after looking at it twice, they did their own thing.

Cheng Qingwan returned home, sat in front of the sugar machine and continued to press the sugarcane, not taking today's matter to heart at all.

Not long after he sat down, the Qin family came angrily with a few sons, blocked the gate of the courtyard, and scolded as soon as he entered the door.

"The Cheng family can't see our family's good, so let her daughter come and ruin my family's Zhaodi's marriage."

"Your family must accompany my family for twenty taels of silver, otherwise, I won't leave."

As soon as Cheng Qingwan wanted to step forward, she heard this sentence and immediately sat still.

Qin sat on the stone at the gate and cried, and from time to time he pulled the passers-by and said.

Cheng Qingwan grabbed the woman who was about to come forward and motioned for them to enter the house and leave it alone.

She cried and cleaned it up, went into the kitchen with the syrup, closed the door, and boiled the sugar herself.

Song Qiaoqiao was a little big-headed, sitting in front of the stove, did he watch the people at the door go.

"The second aunt is the most difficult, and if she is not satisfied, she will cry to death."

Cheng Qingwan glanced at the woman who was still scolding, and said lightly: "Leave her alone, she will definitely leave after crying." Come and help me get a handle, and then help me get a jar. ”

Song Qiaoqiao nodded, hurriedly brought the jar, and watched her pour the boiled sugar into the jar.

Later, I watched her knead the dough, knead it into small balls and put it in the pot to cook.

Cook until the balls float and then pour the sugar over them.

Cheng Qingwan carried a whole jar of small balls and walked from the backyard to the house.

Then it was served with Song Qiaoqiao, one bowl per person,

"Wanwan, it's getting dark, if the Qin family continues to make trouble like this, we won't be able to sleep at night." Cheng Hua'er rubbed her forehead and said softly: "This afternoon, just listening to her howl, I have miscalculated this account book several times. ”
