Chapter 3: He's lying
"It's human!" Zhang Cuiyun's eyes widened, and only after a moment did she say, "No wonder Sister Xu, the rune paper you sold me doesn't work, it turns out that she is not a ghost at all." ”
Xu Xiangu was a little weak when she heard this.
She is shallow, and the rune paper she can draw every day is limited, and there are many people who can ask for it, so she can only sell it with a mixture of true and false.
Zhang Cuiyun is her old guest, and she is doing a dead man's business, she is still bold, she has never had an accident, and the rune paper that Xu Xiangu sold her is becoming more and more fake.
Zhang Cuiyun didn't know at all.
After she finished speaking, she crossed her hands on her hips and scolded Jiang Fuyi and Liu: "You two old people who killed a thousand knives, let me marry her before they die, they are really lacking in virtue, and they are not afraid of retribution." ”
Jiang Fuyi's face turned pale.
He could be sure that Jiang Xianya was indeed dead when he fell from the mountain, and he had touched it himself, without a pulse or snort.
How did this dead girl come back to life?
When Liu heard that his granddaughter was not dead, he hurriedly ran into the courtyard to confirm it in person.
The marriage with the yin is only one hundred taels, and if a person is alive, he will marry two hundred taels in Fucheng next year, and maybe he can send them some property back every year.
Of course, being alive is the most valuable.
Liu ran to the big locust tree, looked at Jiang Xianya, who was calmly drinking chicken soup, and couldn't help screaming: "You little cheap hoof who kills a thousand knives, I have raised these ten chickens for more than half a year, just wait for a few days to go to the town to catch up with the market and sell them, buy new clothes for your younger brothers and sisters, you actually ate two, you are a loser, lose money, are you a starving ghost reincarnated......"
The more Liu scolded, the more unpleasant it became, and he stretched out his hand and wanted to hit Jiang Xianya in the face.
Anyway, Ye Miaoyun's cheap woman is not there, and no one is protecting Jiang Xianya.
Jiang Xianya grabbed the kitchen knife placed on the stone table, and the frightened Liu withdrew his hand and took two steps back.
She sat on the ground and cried loudly, but there was not a tear on her face.
"Everyone come and see, this is my granddaughter who was raised by my wife and son, she not only killed her own father, but also wants to cut me with a knife today, and her conscience has been eaten by dogs, what kind of sin have I created? If I had known this, I should have drowned her in the pond at the east end of the village, when she was born, and I should not have kept this scourge......
"Big sister, you're crazy, this is your grandmother, you dare to use a knife against your grandmother." Thirteen-year-old Jiang Qiurong rushed over, and the meanness on her face was almost exactly the same as Liu's.
She stretched out her hand and pointed at Jiang Xianya, and said menacingly: "You immediately kneel down and kowtow to your grandmother ten times, and then take off the pair of silver bracelets in your hand to compensate your grandmother, this matter is over, I will plead with my grandmother to spare you once, otherwise...... Grandmother will whip you at least fifty lashes and forbid you to eat for three days. ”
The pair of silver bracelets in Jiang Xianya's hand were sent by her grandmother to her uncle on her tenth birthday, not only the weight was heavy, but the lotus flower carved on it was also extremely exquisite, Jiang Qiurong was very greedy, but she never had a suitable opportunity to keep it for herself.
After Jiang Xianya "died" before, Jiang Qiurong wanted it, but her grandmother said that the dead man's things were unlucky, and promised to buy her a new one in the future, so she didn't take it, and regretted it at this time.
Jiang Qiurong's mother, Chen Guilan, stepped forward and said to her mother-in-law Liu: "Mother, you have also seen it, this is a white-eyed wolf who is not familiar with her, she usually looks well-behaved and obedient, but in fact, she is pretending, she dares to use a knife against you, why not?" ”
"This dead girl is just like her sister-in-law, she seems to be obedient, but she did something that embarrassed our Jiang family, what good daughter can a mother who does not abide by women's morals raise? According to your daughter-in-law, you should settle on a family earlier and marry her off. ”
"That's right, it's a shame, my granddaughter is embarrassed to go out these days." Jiang Qiurong added fuel to the fire on the side.
The Liu family didn't want to leave Jiang Xianya in the Jiang family for a long time, she gritted her teeth and said to her second son Jiang Minghe on the side: "You will leave for Fucheng tomorrow and tell that Master Li that we are willing to marry Xianya a year in advance." ”
What if you don't have it?
I heard that Master Li is not only a big official, but also likes young and beautiful little girls, they married Xianya in advance, even if they don't have a round house, people will support her, so as not to stay in the Jiang family.
Anyway, the eldest daughter-in-law has been kicked out of the Jiang family by them, and no one is to protect this dead girl anymore, and this girl's family affairs are up to her, the grandmother, to decide.
"Mother." Jiang Minghe looked puzzled: "The fairy buds are not yet in time, so let's wait until next year to get married." ”
Liu's eyes widened when he heard this.
Isn't that Master Li the second son's line? It was also he who proposed to marry Xianya to Master Li as a concubine, why did this kid suddenly regret it?
Liu was about to ask clearly, but Xu Xiangu's voice came from his ears.
"The people who eat our bowl of rice, pay attention to cause and effect, I worked hard today, and said that the good fifty taels of silver, then it can't be less, you hurry up and bring the silver, I also have to go to the county seat to help Master Liu's house exorcise evil spirits."
"Xu Xiangu, can you see if there are less?" Seeing Jiang Fuyi glaring at her, Liu quickly got up and walked in front of Xu Xiangu, and asked with a smile.
"I can't." Xu Xiangu said coldly.
"We really can't afford to have so much silver...... After selling our small yard and tea mountain, we can't make up so much. Liu opened his mouth pitifully.
If they hadn't been frightened at the time, and the people in the village forced them to hurry up and ask Xu Xiangu to exorcise the ghosts, they wouldn't have agreed to come down.
Fifty taels of silver!
It's too much, I really want to give it, their Jiang family's savings over the years are all gone, how can the two grandchildren study?
Before she could finish speaking, Jiang Xianya said: "She's lying to you, there is a hut at the back of the Jiang family hall, and there is a large vat in the house, and there is a wooden box in the vat, and the wooden box contains five hundred taels of silver tickets, each of which is ten taels, and there are fifty of them." ”
As soon as Jiang Xianya's words fell, the entire courtyard fell silent.
Qingya Village is located in Tianhe Province to the west of the Great Yan Dynasty and is a remote mountain village.
However, Qingya Village is backed by Danhua Mountain, Danhua Mountain produces tea, and in the entire Qingya Village, every household has land on the tea mountain, some more and some less.
In addition, there are some ancient tea trees that are hundreds of years old on Danhua Mountain, as long as you are not afraid of danger and dare to go into the mountains to pick tea, you can still live a solid life.
However, it is already very remarkable to be able to accumulate one or two taels of silver every year.
Five hundred taels of silver is also a huge amount of money for the people of this small mountain village.
"You...... You are talking nonsense, where did our family get so much silver? Jiang Qiurong scolded loudly.
Jiang Fuyi, who was the master of the house, did not speak with a calm face.
How did this dead girl know that there was a silver ticket hidden in that vat?
Liu Shi looked at Jiang Fuyi, his eyes full of shock.
Could it be that there are really five hundred taels of silver in that vat?
She had found a wooden box in that vat two days before, and she wanted to open it to take a look, but found that it was locked.
When the old man saw her holding the wooden box, he reprimanded her, saying that no one was to move, and then drove her out and locked the room.
