Chapter 25: Sister Xiu's Trouble (3/3)
In addition, it is necessary to explain the meaning of the gentleman's appointment, filial piety, Fuyuan bag and two world loans.
Gentleman's appointment refers to the marriage of a large family, for the sake of decency and pomp, it is necessary to purchase a wedding dress for the bride instead of renting, and this wedding dress is also different from the general wedding dress, it must have a luxurious atmosphere, a good wedding dress generally has to be woven into the body of the gold thread, even inlaid with jewels and jade, etc., even if it is ordinary, it is necessary to weave silver thread on the body, as for how much gold and silver thread is braided, it depends on the financial resources of the groom, so let's say that the price of the cheapest wedding dress in the gentleman's appointment is also around 30,000 silver silk. In addition to the wedding dress, it is necessary to purchase at least six pieces of silver ornaments and at least three pieces of gold ornaments, all of which are to be given to the married woman by way of gifts, but of course, theoretically, the woman should bring these gifts to her own things back to her new home, and according to the value of the gentleman's employment received with double the value of the silver silk, which is also known as the harmony ceremony, is the face of both parties to the marriage, but also for a new family financial support, after all, everything is difficult at the beginning, especially in this world to establish a new family, It is inevitable to plan for firewood, rice, oil and salt, but in today's Cangluo country, marriages between small families, the marrying party will not bring the gentleman back to the new home, let alone agree with the courtesy.
The filial piety ceremony is a unilateral gift from the marrying party, and the object of the gift is the parents of the married woman, generally a certain amount of silver silk and some household things such as rice, flour and oil, to express gratitude to the parents of the married woman, 'Thank you for raising my wife for many years, and now she is married into my family, although she is still your daughter, but in the future her first identity is my wife, in order to apologize I can only give a little money and food, and I hope that the second elder will not blame me for taking away his love. Originally, this filial piety ceremony did not pay attention to how many things were given, but paid more attention to whether there was such a intention, but now it has changed......
Fuyuan bag is a unique custom of Cangluo country, about two hundred years ago by the Ministry of Rites written into the folk law, since then if the folk marriage wants to be recognized by the state, it is necessary to marry the party to buy a non-physical commodity for the married woman, this commodity is the Fuyuan bag, meaning to buy a sufficient amount of blessing for the bride, as long as you buy the Fuyuan bag, you can get a small book, this is the legendary marriage guarantee, with this small book, the names of the two people who form a husband and wife will be recorded in the list of married people in the Ministry of Rites, The two are considered to be a real husband and wife, and they are officially recognized, and the bride's family will get rebates according to the number of blessing bags purchased by the bride! The unit price of Fuyuan bag is 9,999 silver silk, and the minimum purchase amount is ten, and there is no upper limit!
As long as a woman comes forward to prove that you are going to marry, then you can sell your life to the money bank, the money bank will assess your earning ability and lend you money, and what you have to do is to work for life to repay the money to the money bank, in addition to the minimum monthly payment, you also have to donate 10% of the total monthly income to the money bank, and this kind of loan cannot be settled in advance, you need to repay until the day you die, And the money bank also took into account, what if you lose the ability to repay in the process of repayment? It doesn't matter, the money bank will intimately introduce you to an errand that can sell your life, and will never let you lose your trust in the money bank, and since the name of this loan is called the two world loans, it naturally means that it must be left to your children as an inheritance, whether you have several children, whether it is a boy or a girl, you can have it together until your children also die, this is the 'greatness' of inheritance.
In the case of lard residue, the gentleman hired 110,000 silver silk, 88,000 silver silk for filial piety, about 120,000 silver silk for Fuyuan bags, and 3.8 million silver silk for the purchase of the two-entry house. The monthly income of lard residue is about 7,000 silver silk, and his savings are about 400,000 silver silk, and he borrowed 3.9 million silver silk from Qian Zhuang in the two generations, and the minimum monthly repayment is 2,800 silver silk.
After the lard residue was returned to the cell, Wu Mingfan and the cell leader both felt helpless about the future of the lard residue.
Cell leader: "Wu Ming, do you think the money for the lard residue can be recovered?" ”
Wu Mingfan: "It's almost impossible, there was a similar case last month, the man's money was not recovered, and there have been many similar cases in the past two years, and the best result for the man is to recover 20% of the loss, and in this case, the marrying party is a typical orphan daughter and widow, because of the lack of labor and no means of livelihood, this money can only be counted as their legal income, and it cannot be returned to the lard residue, even if the county order sympathizes with the lard residue, I can only discuss with my sister-in-law to see if I can read the pitiful situation of the lard residue and reward him with some money and food to help him get through the current difficulties, after all, the lard residue is sick and temporarily loses the ability to work......"
Wu Mingfan and the cell boss were still talking about something, but as the picture zoomed out, we couldn't hear the specific content clearly. But the lard residue is very troubled at the moment, these days I have fallen ill and failed to sell oil, and the monthly repayment of the money village can not be delayed, otherwise it will be profitable, once there is a situation that cannot be paid, then I will really be at the mercy of it, those secret things in the money bank, I have also heard of it......
At this time, in the vegetable market, the pillow sister-in-law was happily buying meat and vegetables, and at this time she came to a sauerkraut stall, and the sauerkraut seller was an aunt.
Sister-in-law: "How do you sell sauerkraut?" ”
Auntie: "Yo, sister-in-law, I have five pounds of sauerkraut and two catties of silver silk here, can you have some?" ”
Sister-in-law: "Okay, bring me two catties." ”
Auntie: "Okay, how are you going to eat it?" ”
Sister-in-law: "Buy some pork dumplings to eat." ”
Auntie: "Sister-in-law is really good at life, dumplings with sauerkraut and pork, and some soy sauce vinegar with cinnamon, not to mention how beautiful." ”
Sister-in-law: "Hahaha, I think so too. ”
Auntie: "Sister-in-law, have you found your child?" ”
Sister-in-law: "Soon, now the murderer has been arrested, just waiting for him to hand him over." ”
Auntie: "Sister-in-law, let me ask one more question, is the murderer who kidnapped your daughter really the oil seller lard dregs?" ”
Sister-in-law: "That's right! Is there anyone else but him?! ”
Auntie: "Eh, I really can't see this, I usually think he's a pretty honest person." ”
Pillow sister-in-law: "This is not good-looking, that kid looks like a thief, he has a bad stomach at all, and he still beats my girl's idea for his virtue, phew!" He deserves it too! ”
Auntie: "But sister-in-law, I heard that he gave you a lot of dowry gifts, now you can make a fortune!" ”
Sister-in-law: "Don't talk nonsense! That stinky boy is as poor as a dog, and what dowry can he give me, it's not all my girl who honors me. ”
Saying that, he deliberately pulled up the sleeves, revealing the gold bracelet he was wearing on his wrist, and he saw that this gold bracelet weighed at least half a catty, and it should be a new one recently, and that style was still very novel and unique.
Pillow sister-in-law bought sauerkraut and paid for it and turned around and left, although she is an old person, but the pillow sister-in-law's pursuit of beauty has stopped again, and she deliberately shook the bucket waist when walking, as if she was still young, but she didn't know that at this time she was already a writhing old woman in the eyes of others.
'A little oil seller still dares to fight with the old lady! My wife just cheated you out of your money, what can you do? Let you come to my house to make trouble, and you still want to go back with the money in the hands of my mother? Dream! Now I have to help you go to prison, let you eat prison for a few years, you have to obediently return my daughter, my mother just wants to earn your money for nothing! ’
The pillow sister-in-law thought about these proudly as she walked.
Soon the pillow sister-in-law came to a house, this house is one of the newly built houses nearby, and it is also a high-end house in the local area, I wanted to buy the house here a few years ago, but I have no money, because the pillow sister-in-law is to make a consumption concept of a flower, so I can't save money at all, and she has no proper means of making a living, when she was young, she can still make some quick money by selling pillows, and now that she is older, no one wants to buy her pillows, so the money bank will not lend to her, knowing that she can't pay, Money banks only lend to those who can afford to repay!
Pillow sister-in-law: "Oh, I can't imagine that I can live in such a good house when I'm old, I'm so lucky, but the fly in the ointment is that this house is a little smaller, this lard residue is really a useless thing, I sold my life to the money village to buy such a big house, real waste!" ”
The pillow sister-in-law, who took the key from her belt, happily unlocked the door and walked into the door as if declaring her sovereignty.
In the afternoon, Wu Mingfan came to his sister-in-law's house again and invited his sister-in-law to the Public Security Bureau, and the officer and Wu Mingfan started a conversation with his sister-in-law.
Officer: "Pillow sister-in-law, huh?" That's right, we have done a detailed investigation into the case of your daughter's disappearance, and we will talk about the results first...... Lard residue is not guilty! ”
Sister-in-law: "What? In the clear? How can you find out that he is innocent? Why can't you find him guilty? ”
Commissioner: "Don't worry, we have to pay attention to evidence in handling cases, and our arrester visited the neighbor of the lard residue, as well as the medical clinic he went to, as well as the Qian Zhuang...... Both the infirmary and his neighbors can testify for him, and his neighbor is an old woman like you, and the infirmary also confirms that the time when your eldest daughter was lost was also when he was at his most ill, how could he even kidnap your daughter when he was struggling to walk alone? And his neighbor can testify that on the night your daughter went missing, she personally made a bowl of noodle soup and sent it over, and her grandson personally fed it to the lard residue, and she was at the lard residue house watching the other party eat it, so the lard residue did not have the time to commit the crime......"
Pillow sister-in-law: "What? No time to commit the crime? Do you conclude that it was not he who kidnapped my daughter just because he didn't have the time to commit the crime? ”
Administrator: "Yes. ”
Sister-in-law: "Can't he kidnap my daughter if he doesn't have the time to commit the crime?" ”
Officer: "That's right, how can he kidnap your daughter if he doesn't have the time to commit the crime?" ”
Sister-in-law: "How do I know?" That's why I want you to investigate the case! Who knows what he used to kidnap my daughter! ”
Commissioner: "Sister-in-law, I can understand your feelings, but you can't commit a crime without the time to commit the crime, because it's not logical." ”
Sister-in-law: "I don't care if it's logical or illogical!" I'm a woman who doesn't know anything, you can't bully me for not reading! All I know is that he kidnapped my daughter, and if he hadn't kidnapped my daughter, my daughter wouldn't have disappeared, and instead of torturing him, you came to tell me that he was innocent, so where did my daughter go? You don't understand the feelings of a mother who has lost her daughter. ”
Acting officer: "Sister-in-law, don't cry first, I came to ask you about this today, and now the murderer of your daughter is only afraid that there are other people, so we need you to provide us with some information, and we can also save people, in addition, according to our understanding, your eldest daughter Xiujuan's reputation on this street does not seem to be very good, it is said that there are many lovers, could it be that she has some grievances with these lovers and was kidnapped?" ”
Pillow sister-in-law: "You are talking nonsense! My daughter is a good girl who is innocent, where can she have a bad reputation! Besides, what girl hasn't dated more than ten lovers when she was young, it's not in vain. ”
Officer: "Sister-in-law, according to the information we have, your daughter last appeared in a man's house before she disappeared, this is the lard residue that she saw with her own eyes, just over there in the south of the city, do you know who this person is?" Our people have visited, and the house is now unoccupied, and the person renting it is your eldest daughter! ”
Pillow sister-in-law: "I, I know him, that person is a friend of our family Xiujuan, and occasionally the two of them spend the night together, both of them are young people pursuing romance." ”
Administrator: "Then you can give us the name of this person, and we can go and interrogate." ”
Pillow sister-in-law: "This ...... I'll have to think again......"
Acting officer: "Sister-in-law, we know your concerns, maybe you let Xiujuan go to someone else's house to live temporarily in order to let Xiujuan avoid the entanglement of lard residue, but now that you have reported the case, we have also issued a notice, this is not a joke, if the man who took Xiujuan in didn't want to get into a lawsuit, he should have sent Xiujuan back to your house at this moment, but until now your daughter Xiujuan is still nowhere to be found, which means that your daughter may really be lost!" ”
Pillow sister-in-law: "This ...... Can't you scare me, my money...... Oh my daughter, woo woo woo"
After that, the acting officer repeatedly explained the seriousness of the matter, and the sister-in-law finally understood the bad nature of the matter, and nodded and agreed to take them to see the man, but at this time, Wu Mingfan suddenly interjected.
Wu Mingfan: "Sister-in-law, there is one more thing to inform you, I visited the money village here and learned that the lard residue did sign a two-life loan with them, and then the mansion he bought, although the deed was handed over to you, but the name of the house was registered in his own name, so a paper deed does not allow you to own the house, you have to return the key to the lard residue as soon as possible!"
Sister-in-law: "What! What did you say! This damn lard dregs, he dared to lie to me, he also told me that the house is anonymous, whoever has the deed is whoever, I still believe him, he shouldn't lie to me such an old man, he doesn't respect the old man, woo woo, you, you should sentence him to beheading, who told him to lie to me. Woo woo, my daughter, my house. ”
In the evening, the pillow sister-in-law came to the destination with the director and a group of catchers, hoping to find her daughter here, knocked on the door was a middle-aged man wearing loose home clothes, this man looked oily and powdery is the front teeth are particularly big, let's call him the front tooth man, and the front tooth man is followed by a woman in her thirties with triangular eyes, this should be his original match.
Triangle eyes: "Yo, who should I be, it turns out that the mother of the little sao fox at the time, I heard that your little sao fox was lost?" I really deserve it, I said a long time ago, this kind of little who hooks up with men all day long will die in the hands of men sooner or later! ”
Before the incisor man could speak, the triangular-eyed woman had already stood up and started scolding the street.
Pillow sister-in-law: "You fart, it's obvious that your man hooked up with my daughter first, you can't even control your own man, my good daughter was arched by this pig, do you still want face?" ”
Triangle eyes: "Hahaha, your daughter is not a good cabbage, besides, this kind of thing is what you and I want, and besides, my man also gives money to play with your daughter, don't you think I don't know the thief mind of your mother and daughter, don't you just fancy my family's money?" But I tell you plainly, just because your daughter's dirty belly wants to enter my house, you dream! ”
Pillow sister-in-law: "You, you, you!" I'm going to tear your mouth apart! ”
As he spoke, he stretched out his hands and pounced, and the two women fought together like this, after all, the pillow sister-in-law was old, and she was thirty years younger than herself, and the other party was also a shrew, and soon the pillow sister-in-law was pulled to the ground.
Pillow sister-in-law: "Oh, I beat someone, I beat the old man, woo woo, it's unreasonable." ”
Start sprinkling.
Triangle Eyes: "Oh mom, my eyes, she broke my eyes, my eyes can't see, don't think about leaving without 200,000 silver silk as compensation today." ”
The same began to sprinkle.
In this way, the two shrews began to roll around at the door of the house, crying and making trouble, completely ignoring their image.
After that, the women in the neighborhood came over and began to reassure the two, while the acting officer and Wu Mingfan learned about Xiujuan's situation with the front tooth man.
learned from the incisor man that after he beat the lard residue that day, he quarreled with Xiujuan again, and the reason for the quarrel was still that the incisor man deceived her, deceived her into bed at the beginning, and now he doesn't marry her, and he obviously said that he wanted to divorce the tigress in the family and marry his own, but now that he has played enough, he won't admit it.
Under the investigation of Xiao Catch Kuai Wu Mingfan, the suspicion of lard residue was proved to be untrue, and it could have been released, but considering the feelings of the pillow sister-in-law who had just lost her daughter, the lard residue could not be released immediately.
Anyway, the lard residue has been in prison for several days, and it is not a day or two.
Anyway, the lard residue is an honest person, and an honest person should bear more.
At present, the loss of the pillow sister-in-law is relatively heavy, not only the house deceived from the lard residue is gone, but her daughter is also gone, at this time, in order to appease her emotions, she can only let the lard residue suffer some grievances, the lard residue is a man after all, a man can't be too careful, a man should be responsible, a man should bear more grievances, for the sake of 'the overall situation', he will continue to lock up the lard residue first, although he is innocent.
At this time, the picture turned, our vision became blurred, and soon a dark room appeared in front of our eyes, the first thing that caught our eyes was many double feet, these feet are not big, and the age of the owner of the inferred feet will not be old, at most eight or nine years old, when the picture is pulled up, we can determine our inference, although we can't see the appearance of those children clearly, but we can conclude that it is indeed children and a group, at this time they are all sitting on their knees in the dark room, And both boys and girls are all dressed in colorful dresses, they all bow their heads and do not speak, unlike the usual noise of children together, the air here seems very oppressive and heavy, at this time we can faintly hear a sound in the next room, it is the 'creak' sound of the table and chairs shaking, and there is a trace of painful human voices, but we can't distinguish the gender.
Just as the picture gradually detached from the dimly lit room, suddenly a mud-stained child's feet shook rhythmically in the air......
At about eight o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Mingfan returned to the door of his house after his errand for the day, and when he was about to take the key to open the door, he suddenly noticed someone behind him.
Wu Mingfan turned back vigilantly and prepared for battle, only to find that it was the little boy he had seen before, that is, the little boy who was called Little Loach.
Little Loach: "Are you a good person?" ”
Wu Mingfan: "? Of course! ”
Little Loach: "I know where Ya'er is, can you go and save her?" ”
Wu Mingfan: "Ya'er is the youngest daughter of my sister-in-law's family, right?" Do you know where she is? Then why don't you tell your sister-in-law? ”
Little Loach: "It's useless, I said it, she won't believe it, even if she believes, she won't be able to save Ya'er, but will hurt Ya'er." ”
Wu Mingfan: "Okay, then you tell me where she is?" ”
Seeing the seriousness on the face of the little loach didn't look like a prank, so I chose to believe it.
The story of Wu Mingfan's disappearance is roughly like this......
Ye Wu Jueluo took a sip of the tea in the cup, then put the saucer back on the table in one hand, and covered the teacup with the lid by the way, indicating that there was no need to add water when he was full.
Ye Wu Jueluo: "From your letter, I know that you have never been evil to people, and although Wu Ming is a fast catcher, there is no enemy like Jiang Yang thief, and a few little thieves have no courage and no strength to trap him, so there is a possibility that he may have inadvertently offended someone or bumped into something that should not be known, so he disappeared, maybe someone with a higher cultivation than him took action to trap him......
Liu Jin Qiqiao: "Then will he be in danger?" ”
Ordered Wu Hanyu: "Yes, Ye ...... Grandma, do you think my brother's life will be in danger? ”
Although when I heard about this generation at first glance, I couldn't accept it psychologically and even felt like laughing, but seeing my father's serious attitude and the exclusive momentum of Ye Wu Jueluo, the elder, I acquiesced to this generation.
Ye Wu Jueluo: "This ...... I don't think it should be, Wu Ming is a person from my Wu Family Fort, and he hurts the life of my Wu family for no reason, he has to weigh the consequences! ”
Bukit Jianye: "Little aunt, what are you going to do?" ”
Ye Wu Jueluo: "Explore! ”
Bukit Jianye: "Explore? ”
Ye Wu Jueluo: "That's right! Your most powerful force in the rivers and lakes should be the Iron Sword Villa on this Luo Mountain, right? So let's pay a visit and find out what they have to say. ”
Bukit Jianye: "This ...... As far as I know, this Iron Sword Villa is not a good place to talk, or let's find another way......"
Ye Wu Jueluo: "As the most famous force in this area, Iron Sword Villa must be the most well-informed. ”
Bukit Jianye: "To be honest, I've asked someone to ask for help from Bao Inquire, and I hope they can give me some news......
Ye Wu Jueluo: "The person who inquires about Bao does not accept all tasks, our Wujiabao is not a member of the Chivalry League, and the iron head is a member of the Chivalry League, so the person who inquires will not wade into this troubled water...... As far as I know, it's not the first time that Bao has refused to help anyone here, and the reason for this is probably because of this Iron Sword Villa......"
Hearing this, Wuji Jianye's heart was cold, he only hated his mediocre martial arts, if he had martial arts like Wu Qian Shouyi among his clansmen, he wouldn't even be able to inquire about his son.
Liu Jin Qiqiao returned to his home at night, and as soon as he got home, he locked himself in his room, Liu Jin's parents were a little worried, but when their daughter grew up and had her own worries and troubles, the second elder did not dare to intervene too much, because people always have to learn to deal with these by themselves.
At this time, Liu Jin Qiqiao's door was knocked, and a young man's voice came from outside the door, Liu Jin Qiqiao opened the door without a moment's hesitation, and at this time there was a man in his thirties who was nearly 180 centimeters tall outside the door, with a rectangular face and a small beard, and his facial features were relatively average, and he was looking at himself with a worried face at this time, this man was Liu Jin Qiqiao's eldest brother Jin Liu Dao, and the locals called him ' Brother Dao', Brother Dao and Wu Mingfan are on an errand in the South Siping County Public Security Bureau, and the mix is better than Wu Mingfan, now he is a head catcher, there are eleven or twelve small catchers under him, he loves martial arts since he was a child, he has worshiped several masters, learned some messy kung fu, fists and feet short knives can be made, and Wu Mingfan is a very good friend, and also acquiesced to this brother-in-law.
Liu Jin Qiqiao: "Brother is here, please sit in the house." ”
As he spoke, he introduced Jin Liu Dao into the room and sat down, took out a white porcelain water cup, poured half a cup of boiled water, and put it in front of Jin Liu Dao.
Jin Liu Dao: "Qiqiao, you relax, I think Xiao Fan's kid will be fine, I also ask friends in the rivers and lakes to inquire about his news, Xiao Fan has always been measured in his work and does not easily offend people, even if he is caught by the little thief, he will not be exploited and humiliated, so no one will maliciously retaliate against him!" ”
Liu Jin Qiqiao: "Hmm." ”
Thinking that Xiao Yu Kuai Wu Mingfan had been missing for several days, he couldn't help but have tears in his eyes, and then the sound of sobbing followed.
People are like this, when they encounter sad things, if they sit alone, they may be able to control their emotions, but if they have relatives or friends comforting them, then it is easy to lose the ability to control their emotions......
Jin Liu Dao looked at his sister's sad appearance, and instinctively reached out and touched Liu Jin Qiqiao's hair to comfort him.
Xiao Fan is a good person, and now there are not many good people like him in this world, especially in this era of easy speech, a boy with a sense of justice like Xiao Fan is afraid that there is no one in ten thousand...... I only hope that the senior sisters can receive my letter as soon as possible, maybe they can help Xiaofan......
Liu Jin Qiqiao's heart was extremely looking forward to receiving a reply from the Weaving Ji Pavilion.
At this time, another letter was written under the pen of Bukit Jianye, and the destination of this letter was also Bujiabao, which explained the situation here and the next countermeasures.
