Travel to the early Tang Dynasty and become a salted fish

"Madam, I originally came to Shitou to settle accounts. Since he is not at home, let's come back another day. Please don't be offended by the intrusion today."

Seeing that the other party's only thatched house had collapsed, Chu Mo felt that it was not suitable to stay here for a long time, so he planned to leave quickly.

"Can't you, young master, we have to compensate for the stone crime committed by our family. Although the house is gone, we can still help you work to earn money to compensate."

"If that doesn't work out, I can still marry my daughter to you. I can see that you are a virgin. The so-called man is unmarried and the woman is unmarried. You two make a perfect couple."

"There is no need for this betrothal gift or anything like that. I just ask you to be nicer to my Xinxin in the future."

Hearing that the other party wanted to allocate a strong female warrior to him, Chu Mo almost peed on the spot.

He waved his hands hurriedly and said: "No, no, no, aunt, you misunderstood. Between me and Shitou, I owe Shitou 20 copper coins. I am here to pay back the money."

With that said, he hurriedly took out the broken silver, stuffed it all into Aunt Shi's hands, and then prepared to escape.

Aunt Shi smiled and took the money handed over by Chu Mo into her arms, then grabbed Chu Mo who was about to run away and said:

"Oh, Master, tell me, you came all the way here to pay back the money. I think it's not easy for you to come here. How about we sit here for a while and I ask Xinxin to go up the mountain to hunt a tiger and bring it back to you?" "

When Chu Mo heard this, he shook his head hastily and joked. He knew from Shitou that all the wild beasts around here were killing their family, not to mention tigers, even a mouse would be hard to beat.

If he agreed, wouldn't he have to stay here for the night?

Chu Mo was really frightened to think that the other party wanted to marry a strong woman to him.

"Auntie, forget about this tiger. Wait until I have time to come over next time. My store in the city still has some accounts to settle today, and I have to rush back to collect the accounts."

"Oh, it turns out that the young master also has a shop. I don't know what he does for a living. I will go to Chang'an City in the future, and I have to take care of it."

Chu Mo twitched the arm held by Mrs. Shi and found that he could not move at all. Seeing that the other party's eyes were bright and waiting for his answer, he gritted his teeth and said:

"It's just a restaurant that is about to close down. No, it's precisely because the business is not good, so I asked Brother Shitou to turn over the business."

Aunt Shi narrowed her eyes and was about to speak when Shi Xin behind her snorted:

"You kid are really talking nonsense. If your business is not doing well, why do you bring so many guards? Moreover, when you open a restaurant, a bowl of noodles costs ten cents, so you asked my brother to borrow the money for two bowls of noodles. Do you think we will believe it? What’s more, let alone 20 pennies on my brother, even a big man can’t get it out.”

Seeing that the lie was exposed, Chu Mo was so embarrassed that he didn't know what to say.

Aunt Shi on the side glared at Shi Xin and cursed: "Why are you talking to your benefactor? Seeing how young you are, I should have kicked you out as soon as possible to avoid ruining the reputation of our Shi family. "

After scolding Shi Xin, Aunt Shi turned her head again, looked at Chu Mo kindly and said, "My benefactor, thank you for your life-saving grace just now. If it weren't for you, Xiaoxin and I would have been crushed to death by the house."

Chu Mo looked at the stone core, which was taller than the roof, and then at Aunt Shi with a fox-like smile. A bad premonition came into his heart:

"Auntie, I didn't save you. You're fine. That's just because you were lucky."

After saying that, I tried again to see if I could twitch my arm.

When Aunt Shi heard that Chu Mo wanted to refute her words, she immediately said with a straight face:

"Sir, if you say that, wouldn't you be slapping the old woman in the face? We all knew just now that it was because of your arrival that we got out of the house and survived when the house collapsed. .”

"If this is not a life-saving grace, then what kind of kindness can be considered a life-saving grace?"

"Besides, the young master doesn't want to admit this life-saving grace. Could it be that he looks down on me, the old lady, and our Shi family?"

As soon as he finished speaking, before Chu Mo could speak, Shi Xin glared at Chu Mo angrily, as if if the other party dared to refute Aunt Shi's words again, her blood would be splashed on the spot.

Chu Mo gave a bitter smile and said to Aunt Shi: "Since you think so, then I will shamelessly accept this kindness. It's getting late today, and I have important things to do..."

"Oh, just admit it, just admit it."

Before Chu Mo could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Aunt Shi.

"Since you are the benefactor of our Shi family and have saved our Xiaoxin, as the saying goes, a drop of kindness should be repaid by a spring, and a life-saving favor can only be promised with your body. In this way, old lady, I have made the decision, and I will betroth Xiaoxin to you. I’ll give it to you. It’s better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. You can take this person back today.”

Pfft, cough, cough, cough, Chu Mo was so frightened that he almost let himself go by drooling.

"Aunt Shi, are you serious? Don't say that there is no life-saving grace between me and Miss Shi Xin. Just say that I have a fiancée at home, so I can't agree to this marriage. You will still die. Let’s make this plan.”

Seeing the other party going around and around, finally trying to force the strong woman in front of him to himself, Chu Mo felt extremely panicked and hurriedly moved his wife out, trying to stop the other party's plan.

"Having a fiancée is nothing. You are not married yet. Even if you are married, you can still divorce. I believe our Xiaoxin will not dislike you."

When Shi Xin heard Aunt Shi's words, she immediately looked shy, which almost frightened Chu Mo to death.

Resisting the urge to vomit, Chu Mo looked seriously at the mother and daughter, who were even more deceptive than him, and said, "Aunt Shi, celebrities don't speak secretly, so let's not be merciful. If you have any demands, just ask. "

Aunt Shi glanced at Chu Mo up and down, then sighed and said, "My old lady has nothing else but to find a good in-law for my daughter, and then feed our family."

"Young master, you may not know that our family has not had a full meal since the beginning of this year. You said that if you had not come just now, it would have been better for us, mother and daughter, to be smashed to death by the roof. In this way, Nothing to worry about anymore.”

"But since the young master saved us, he doesn't want to take responsibility. How can there be such a truth in the world? If the young master doesn't want to be responsible, he shouldn't have saved our mother and daughter just now. Now that he has saved us, he must be responsible to the end."

Hearing the other party's conditions, Chu Mo secretly said something bad. He didn't expect that he had been hunting geese all day long, and today he was finally beaten like a wild goose.

Secretly saying that he didn't read the almanac when he went out today, Chu Mo gritted his teeth and said: "In that case, then you will sell yourselves to me and help me work from now on, and I will guarantee your food and clothing expenses."
