102. Outbreak
As for the quality of the man's character and family, it is not a matter for Mrs. Qi to consider, as long as you have money, you can do anything.
Otherwise, why would she spend food and energy to raise the indemnity so much, isn't she just waiting for the day when she can return to her capital?
Qi Xiu looks good, and the age here has just arrived, and the matchmaker over there almost didn't step on the threshold of her house.
So she chose to choose a pig who had just died in her mother-in-law's house, that is, she left two children in front of her, but she couldn't bear the money of others killing pigs, and the bride price she gave was the most, even if she was not good at beating her character, she did not hesitate to move.
It's a full ten taels of silver, and the bride price of a normal female baby is one or two taels of silver, and those with richer families also give two or three taels but not more than five taels at most.
Ten taels of silver is a lot, enough for the eldest son to say that he used it personally.
My daughter is so big and looks so good, how can my wife be willing if she doesn't sell it for a good price.
Ten taels of silver can be easily taken out, which is obviously taking a fancy to her daughter, plus she is a widower who has died of her mother-in-law, her family is a yellow flower girl, and the price is definitely not good.
So Mrs. Qi's mouth doubled, thinking that even if it was a bargain, it was better than ten taels, and the more you earned.
It's good to think about it, Pork Rong also agreed to give fifteen taels of silver after bargaining, I thought I was waiting to get the money, who knew that there was a mistake here in the girl.
The eldest girl does have a more pungent personality than her two younger sisters, but she is usually well-behaved and obedient to them, but she didn't expect to let her take a step in family affairs.
The widower, who knew that the other party was a dead mother-in-law, looked at them and the matchmaker's eyes at that time, and smiled like this.
Then without saying a word, he went directly into the stove room, picked up a kitchen knife, and cut it at the matchmaker without saying anything.
If it weren't for the matchmaker's flash, the knife would have to cut her body, and Mrs. Qi remembered clearly that the matchmaker was scared to pee at that time.
I thought it would be okay, but no.
The eldest girl is like crazy, her face is full of smiles, but the knife in her hand catches whoever cuts whom, like crazy, screaming that whoever doesn't let her get better will not let anyone have a better time, let her marry either they step on her corpse or she steps on the corpse of her family, anyway, no one wants to be better.
The eldest daughter has been amazing since she was a child, and her three sons didn't get a good catch, and the younger son's arm was slashed.
It completely frightened them all of a sudden, and the matchmaker was almost scared to death, where did she dare to get involved in this marriage and ran away without looking back.
As for the bride price, Qian Pork Rong knew that Qi Xiu's six relatives didn't recognize it, and even cut his family, where did he dare to marry such a fierce woman, and he immediately changed his hexagram, and the fifteen taels of bride price was also lost.
If it's bad, it's bad, it's too big, and after that, I don't dare to come and propose.
Then in the following days, the kitchen knife was pinned to the eldest daughter's body every day, and he looked at them with a sad smile all day long, almost not scaring the family to death, and he couldn't sleep well at night, and the door was dead.
Just when they were frightened and thought that this girl would never be able to get married, the village chief of Huajia Village asked the matchmaker to come over to propose marriage.
What I didn't expect was that this time the eldest girl agreed, but when it came to the bride price, she was sharpening the knife in the yard, and the sound of sharpening the knife was like urging her life, so she didn't dare to ask for more, and she got married for five taels of silver.
Although the bride price is less, the person is finally married off and the bride price is not small, the important thing is that the knife hanging over the head is finally gone.
None of their family knew what happened in those days.
So much so that in the first two years of their eldest daughter's marriage, they didn't dare to make any excessive demands.
After a long time, I saw that the girl also came to walk around, and sometimes I would bring food, use, and even money, and I slowly forgot the appearance of the girl's madness, that is, the girl's attitude towards them was a little alienated, but it did not prevent them from wanting to be very cheap, but they didn't dare to treat the big girl like the other two girls.
Unexpectedly, I saw the smile of more than ten years ago today, and Mrs. Qi panicked in her heart, and she just wanted to quickly calm the anger in the eldest daughter's heart, and the terrible girl conjured up a knife in her hand.
"Show! What my mother said is true, don't think about it. "Mrs. Qi's posture is very low, even flattering.
"Haha...... Mother, how can I think about it too much, I won't think about it much......" The smile on the corner of Qi's mouth became bigger and bigger, and he looked at his mother's family with pity, and the frightened Qi family Qi flipped over and took a few steps back.
The smile was so gloomy that even the three of them couldn't help palpitating and didn't dare to look at the eldest sister-in-law.
"Mother......" Qi reunited with Qi's wife.
"Ah...... I'm here...... In the ......," said Old Woman Qi in a trembling voice in her heart.
"I've been good to you and my family over the years, I usually use a lot of food to move home, and I don't take less money on New Year's holidays and birthdays."
"Yes, yes, Xiu is very filial, who doesn't praise you in these ten miles and eight villages" Mrs. Qi nodded again and again, following her daughter's words.
"Then I'm so good and so filial, why can't I cover your heart? Mother...... I'm so disappointed. ”
The last sentence was obviously very low, but it gave Mrs. Qi and the rest of the Qi family a sense of déjà vu that a beast was about to wake up, which made them tremble.
"No, no, our hearts are warm, we all know that you are a filial child, Xiu, children are talking nonsense, don't think nonsense." Mrs. Qi pulled her grandson and silently took a step back, and said in fright.
"Mother...... I never understood one thing. ”
"What...... What? Old woman Qi became more and more panicked.
"My mother is also a woman, why do you still look down on women so much?"
"No, no, my mother didn't look down on women, how could my mother look down on women, girl, don't think about it." Old woman Qi hurriedly shook her head.
"Hahaha......" The smile on Qi's face became more and more vigorous, but there was no trace of a smile in his eyes, and he looked at the old woman with a knife-like gaze.
“…… No, it is indeed not, the mother did not treat her daughter as a human being at all, just livestock that can be exchanged for silver and can bring benefits to the family. ”
"The child really thinks too much, whose daughter didn't grow up like this, you are also the meat that fell from my body, how can it not hurt, I just be strict with you, let you learn more things, just think that you can't be disliked in your mother-in-law's family when you get married in the future, my mother really doesn't have that idea......" Mrs. Qi didn't believe what she said, and she didn't dare to look at her daughter's eyes.
The others were also very uneasy and anxious.
"Really? Saying this, my mother is really well-intentioned. Qi looked at Mrs. Qi with a smile.
Old woman Qi smiled wryly.
"Mother...... I'm different from you, you don't treat your daughter as a person, but your daughter is a treasure in my eyes, you can spoil my daughter but you can't spoil my daughter, my bottom line, I don't think you can not know......"
"Ah......h
The Qi family completely broke out, the smile on his face disappeared, and a pair of eyes watched the Qi family stomp on a wooden table next to him, and the wooden table suddenly fell apart, frightening the other people in the courtyard.
