The Qingqing family lives in the east of the village, and the house is relatively good in the village, and it can be seen that the Qingqing family is much better than the ordinary people in the village.

"Why are you coming to my house?" Tie Niu and Xu Qingzheng were about to enter the house, and a woman in her forties scolded Tie Niu, her tone was very polite, where did she treat the guests at all.

"Mother, how can you say that about Brother Tie Niu?" a young woman stepped forward to complain, and then welcomed Tie Niu and Xu Qing in apologetically.

The young woman is in her ninth year, dressed in a blue shirt, with a slender figure, thin eyebrows and willow waist, a small nose and a small mouth, and long black hair draped over her shoulders.

has seen Lin Ruoxi's peerless elegance, ordinary women can't make Xu Qing feel amazing at all, although Qingqing is far from being comparable to Lin Ruoxi, but she can definitely be regarded as a rare beauty.

In the hall, in addition to Qingqing and her parents, there were three other people, a young man in his twenties and a middle-aged couple in their forties.

The young man was looking at Qingqing eagerly, his eyes were full of silly smiles, but his image was really flattering, with a crooked nose and slanted eyes, with a smile at this time, it would only make people unappetizing.

Qing Qing avoided the young man's gaze in disgust, and then pulled Tie Niu and Xu Qing to a corner of the room.

"My son likes Qingqing very much, I don't know what Big Brother He thinks?" said Qin Da'an, the young man's father, with a smile.

Qingqing's father's name is He Wei, with a Chinese face, in his forties, when he heard Qin Da'an's question, he frowned, and just wanted to speak, Qingqing's mother preemptively said: "My family's Qingqing's beauty is also famous in ten miles and eight towns, and those who come to propose marriage are about to step on the threshold of my family, and the ugly words are ahead, you want to marry my Qingqing, I don't know how to get hired?"

Qingqing's mother's name is Song Chunxiang, and she looks a little similar to Qingqing, but she is older, the corners of her eyes are wrinkled, and her fragrance has passed away.

"We also know that Qingqing is as beautiful as a flower, as for the dowry, I don't know what Sister-in-law He thinks?" The smile in Qin Da'an's eyes became more obvious, he was not afraid of asking for money, he was afraid that people would not look down on his son.

"Last time, someone from Luohe Village came to propose marriage, and the value of the dowry was twenty taels, but I refused him. Song Chunxiang said with a smile, and did not directly answer Qin Da'an's question.

Most people in the village use copper coins, and I am afraid that even if they have few opportunities to see silver, let alone twenty taels of silver, this is an astronomical amount for almost the vast majority of people, but Qingqing's mother is still not satisfied, this appetite is really not small.

Qin Da'an almost didn't scold out when he heard the twenty taels of silver, but fortunately he held back in time, glanced at his wife next to him, and didn't know how to decide for a while.

The young man's name was Qin Xiao'an, and seeing that his father was a little hesitant, he hurriedly pulled his father's sleeve and motioned his father to make a decision quickly.

Some time ago, Qin Da'an took a family heirloom treasure and sold it, wanting to ease the strapped days a little. But he didn't expect that just one calligraphy and painting would be sold for a full hundred taels of silver, and the originally difficult life suddenly became tasteful, and his family became a wealthy family in ten miles and eight towns.

Looking at his son's pleading face, Qin Da'an sighed. Hey, that's it, who called him such a baby son, and this baby son has to marry this girl from the He family.

"Sister-in-law He, what do you think, thirty taels? This is already our limit, no matter how much we are powerless, although Qingqing is beautiful, but thirty taels is already very high, I am afraid that no one in ten miles and eight towns can afford so much silver. Qin Da'an said, his face was very resolute, and he knew that he really didn't want to pay an extra penny anymore.

A trace of greed flashed in Song Chunxiang's eyes, and she hesitated for a while, thinking that no one could afford to be higher, so she said with a smile: "The son of the Qin family is a talent, and with our family's Qingqing, he is naturally a talented woman, a match made in heaven, of course we agree to this marriage, hehe, we will be in-laws in the future." ”

Qingqing and Tie Niu were both listening to it, and when they heard this, they looked at their father anxiously, wanting their father to reject this marriage, but Tie Niu's face became pale, if it wasn't for Xu Qing's pull, I'm afraid he would have already taken the door.

He Wei usually loves Qingqing very much, and since he didn't want his daughter to marry this Qin Xiao'an as a daughter-in-law, he wanted to say something, but just when he wanted to speak, Song Chunxiang's eyes widened, and he had no choice but to keep silent.

Usually he is extremely afraid of guilt, and he doesn't dare to refute at all, so he can only look at his baby daughter helplessly, indicating that he is powerless.

Qingqing looked at her mother with tears in her eyes, but her mother was indifferent.

"Haha, yes, we will be in-laws in the future. Qin Da'an laughed, and Qin Xiao'an also followed with a smirk and walked towards Qingqing, as if he wanted to grab Qingqing's hand.

Xu Qing took a step forward and held Qin Xiaoan's wrist, preventing him from getting close to Qingqing, and Qingqing also hid behind Tie Niu, looking at his mother with dissatisfied and angry eyes, if she was allowed to marry Qin Xiaoan, then she might as well die.

"You... Put... Let go...... I!" Qin Xiaoan glared at Xu Qing angrily and said with a little stammer.

It turned out to be a stammer, no wonder he didn't speak just now, such a person also wants to marry Qingqing? Tie Niu doesn't know how many times better than him.

Xu Qing let go of Qin Xiaoan's wrist and pushed it, Qin Xiaoan staggered back a few steps, fortunately his father supported him from behind, otherwise he would have to fall to the ground.

"Aunt He, how do I think Qingqing is just a commodity in your eyes, and she can be bought and sold at will? She was sold by you for thirty taels of silver. Xu Qing said with a light smile, aiming directly at Qingqing's mother.

"Hmph, the parents' order matchmaker said, of course, the marriage of the children is decided by us as parents, is there anything wrong with this?" Hearing Xu Qing's words, Song Chunxiang's face immediately became a little ugly, and she retorted.

"This son, this is Sister-in-law He's family affairs, you are just an outsider, I hope you don't meddle in other people's family affairs. Seeing that Xu Qing seemed to be intent on stopping this marriage, Qin Da'an was a little angry and said, if it weren't for Xu Qing's bright clothes, I'm afraid he would have spoken ill of each other a long time ago.

"Doesn't Aunt He take Qingqing's opinion into account at all? In this way, Qingqing doesn't seem to be much different from the chickens, ducks and livestock that you have raised in your family for a year, at most it is just a longer time. Xu Qing remained calm and said unhurriedly.

These words are not not vicious, but when you think about it, it seems that this is indeed the truth.

Qingqing looked at Xu Qing gratefully when she heard this, thanking him for speaking for herself, although she knew that her mother would still insist on going her own way and would never ask her opinion.

Qingqing's father lowered his head a little ashamedly, then glanced at his daughter with a sad face in a corner of the room, took a deep breath, and said: "Mother-in-law, I also think it's inappropriate to be so hasty, we really need to consider Qingqing's opinion, after all, this matter is related to Qingqing's happiness in life." ”

During this period, Qingqing's mother kept glaring at him, signaling him not to talk nonsense, but this time Qingqing's father didn't look at her at all and poured out all the words he wanted to say.

"Childe knows at a glance that he is a scholar, how do you know that firewood, rice, oil and salt are expensive, I just don't want to suffer from life after getting married, where in this world will there be mothers who will hurt their children?"

When Qingqing heard this, the grief and indignation in his eyes were obviously much lighter, and the look in Qingqing's father's eyes also eased a lot.

Xu Qing secretly sneered, wanting to play the family card? He simply continued: "In that case, in order to live a happier life in the future Qingqing, Aunt He should return the dowry, right?"

When Qin Da'an heard Xu Qing say this, he also turned his gaze to Qingqing's mother, wanting to see how she answered, thirty taels of silver is not a small amount, if it wasn't for his son, where would he be willing to give it.

"You... This is our family matter, it seems to have nothing to do with you, let me tell you not to expect me to marry my daughter to Tie Niu, my daughter is beautiful and fragrant, what is Tie Niu worthy of my family?" Song Chunxiang's face turned a little red, and he said angrily.

Qin Da'an and his wife glanced at each other and secretly scolded her for being hypocritical, but there was no abnormality on their faces.

Tie Niu lowered his head in shame, no matter what, he couldn't take out thirty taels of silver as a dowry, which also meant that he was destined to have no chance with Qingqing in this life.

Can we only give up?
