Leisurely Farmer's Family: A Strong Man and His Broken Leg Son-in-law

When Ning saw Ren staring at her blankly, her face full of distortion, she felt a little dissatisfied and couldn't help but urge her again.

"You're such a decent mother. I've informed all my relatives and friends about the auspicious date. Now you're talking about breaking off the engagement. You're such a bad-mouthed guy who arranged for my young brother to pull out tongue-pulling hell and throw dirty water on people with empty words. Old man. Why didn't the sky rain down thunder and kill him?"

Ren's reaction was to curse.

"Brother Xian, let's discuss this with you in a good voice. This matter has nothing to do with my family even if it goes to the end of the world. You are not afraid that your neighbors will hear it, so just shout!"

Ning was very angry at this accusation and scolding Huai, and a stern look appeared in her eyes.

"Mom..." Xie Weihu quickly stood up and tugged on my mother's clothes.

Mrs. Ning saw the worry on her son's face and tried her best to calm down the anger in her heart. She sneered and said, "Go and call your handsome brother over. Let's make it clear in person that this matter is about a man named Ren." Dabao’s man came to my house a few days ago and told me, and we went to the Flower House in Shuangliu this morning to ask about it, so we can’t do this falsely.”

When Mrs. Ren heard the words Ren Dabao, she became depressed. He Dayong sighed deeply when he heard the words. He hated Ren Dabao so much that he got up and went to find He Xian.

"Mom and Dad, everything Xie's mother-in-law said is true. Let's just forget about this marriage." He Xian opened the door and entered the east room with a silent expression on his face.

Ren was in mourning for a moment and could not imagine how Brother Xian was suffering these days.

"Ren Dabao, how dare he, how dare he!" Even though she heard Liu Yu say last time that brother Xian was kidnapped by Ren Dabao to Niutoushan, she was angry, but she didn't hate it.

Now that she heard with her own ears that her most cherished eldest nephew wanted to sell her young brother to such a dirty place, Mrs. Ren wished that he would die from the bottom of her heart.

"In-laws, no, sister, you just said that my brother Xian was rescued later, which means he is still innocent. Sister, please show your respect. You don't remember the faults of small people. Give my brother Xian a piece of cake." A way to survive!"

Mrs. Ren pulled Brother Xian to sit down on the kang. She cried with tears streaming down her face and begged for mercy from Mrs. Ning and Xie Wenzhong.

"If I didn't give Brother Xian a way to live, my family would have made a big fuss over this matter, which would mean breaking up the marriage and denying it. No one can say anything wrong about this matter. Just because we were thinking about Brother Xian, we came to the door at night to ask for It’s not about keeping the news from leaking out.”

Ning broke off Ren's hand and said firmly.

"Brother Xian, my mother, let me tell you the truth today. My family must withdraw from this marriage. If you can listen to it, we will not lose face to each other. If you ignore the past face, you will be the one who suffers the consequences." Brother Jia Xian," Ning said coldly.

"In-laws, you can break off the engagement, but you don't get a penny of the betrothal gift. The eight taels of silver were all used to buy my son's dowry, and now the family doesn't have a penny."

Seeing that despite all the good things she said, Ren didn't change her mind and Ning felt very embarrassed and angry.

"Ha! Really? It doesn't matter. There are three of us here today. I'll borrow your cart later and we can just pick up the things we bought and take them home."

Ren Dabao told them clearly that the eighty taels of silver dowry was stolen by him to pay off gambling debts. She wanted to see where Ren bought the eighty taels of silver dowry.

"You!..." Mrs. Ren was furious. She turned to look at He Dayong and said, "Master, please say something! You just watch our young brother being bullied!"

"Forget it, just retreat." He Dayong wiped his face, ignored the jumping Ren family, looked at the Xie family, and said sincerely: "Thank you for preserving Brother Xian's reputation."

The eldest man's face turned red from holding back his swelling, and he said with difficulty: "I'm not satisfied with you, my family really can't afford eight taels of silver to break off the engagement, and this betrothal gift was also stolen by the murderer!"

"Let's do this. I'll write you an IOU. We will definitely repay the money, and we will definitely pay it back within three years. As long as you keep your mouth shut, don't tell the matter elsewhere."

Mrs. Ning was a little reluctant. She also saw Mr. Ren's unreasonable look just now. She was afraid that the money would be wasted and she would not come back, so she looked at Xie Wenzhong to see what he said.

"Mom, otherwise the eighty taels of silver betrothal gift should be forgotten. Now that it's cold, I can bring enough dry food into the mountains to hunt a few foxes someday!" Xie Weihu tugged on my mother's sleeves, hoping that it would be forgotten.

He was young, so he only knew that his family was the first to break off the engagement. As for the reputation that his parents were worried about, he didn't have much feeling.

"Nonsense, you think hunting foxes is like pulling out carrots. You can find them when you go into the mountains. Don't say anything. It's all up to your mother." Every time her son went into the mountains to hunt, her heart was tormented. The mountains were dangerous, and all the money was there. She couldn't let go of her son who had sacrificed his life for it.

"This is five taels of silver, mother-in-law, take it first, and I will pay back the remaining three taels if I have the money!" He Xian took out a piece of broken silver from his body and handed it to Ning.

Ning felt happy, took the money in her hand, and handed it to the old man beside her. Xie Weihu weighed the weight and nodded to her.

"Brother Xian, mother-in-law, didn't you just say that you bought a dowry for Brother Xian? Take it all out and take a look. Let's set the price at the highest price and see if we can discount the remaining three taels of silver."

What is in his own hands is his own, and Ning cannot believe the promises made by He Dayong and He Xian.

Brother Xian was the first child of He Dayong and Ren, and because the Xie family's betrothal gift was large, the two of them did not treat him badly. After the betrothal gift was stolen, the two of them used their family resources to buy a dowry. They looked at the bed There are two brand-new cotton quilts, two new winter clothes, and a set of spring shirts.

On the ground floor, He Da used the buckets, basin racks, large wooden boxes covered with black paint, a kang cabinet and a dressing box that had been moved over.

Mr. Ning was satisfied with what he saw. These things were worth more than one tael of silver if touched, and they were all useful things.

He Xian finally came over with another bundle, untied it and said, "This is the wedding dress I have embroidered these days. It is made from the fabric hired by your family. If you want it, take it too!"

Ning took it in her hand and looked at it. The bright red muslin was cut into an outer garment. It must have been worn on the big day on top of a new cotton coat.

The clothes are not very colorful, only a few flowers are embroidered on the hem.

"Okay, Ling Ling always pays for these, I'll give you two taels of silver." Things went smoothly, Ning also raised her hand high and folded the things quite high.

At this point, He Dayong and Brother Xian were slightly relieved. They would sell the pigs for the remaining one or two silver coins and scrape together the remaining money. It would not be difficult to pay off the money at the end of the year!

"Dear... no! Brother, sister-in-law, if we have hastily terminated our engagement, there must be an explanation to the outside world!" He Dayong said.

"There is no foolproof solution to this matter. I will let the word out that I am too sick to get up. Let the goddess calculate it and say that the two children have different horoscopes and their zodiac signs collided and hit me." Ning said after careful consideration.

"No, others are not allowed to think that my young brother is not good, that he is a mother-in-law, etc. Who else would dare to marry a good man in the future!" Ms. Ren flatly refused.

"Then what do you think we should do?"

Ms. Ren really didn't know what to do. She just subconsciously refuted Mr. Ning. She felt that the old woman was uneasy and had no good intentions. She said something and bumped into her. She thought she was someone in front of her, but she still bumped into her!

"Master, what do you think?" Mrs. Ren looked at He Dayong!

"Otherwise, you will say that I am too sick to get up. You can go to the temple to calculate a fortune, and when you come back, you will say the same thing. You will say that their fortunes are not good. If they are together, the grains will not be abundant, and if the animals are not prosperous, if they are separated, they will not be prosperous. Every family is doing well, and the family is full of descendants." He Dayong racked his brains as he didn't have any good ideas.

"Okay, let's let it be like this. You are sick of you, and I am sick of mine. Let's get better slowly on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month." Ning didn't want her son to have the reputation of being a wife-suppressant, so she said.

After the matter was agreed upon, Ning was about to leave. It was difficult to take such things, so he pushed the He family's cart. In order to avoid meeting people in the village who could not explain clearly, He Dayong personally took the people to the entrance of the village and saw with his own eyes. People walked across the bluestone bridge before turning back.

"Where did you get those five taels of silver?" After everyone left, Mrs. Ren asked He Xian softly, feeling apologetic.

He Xian was not used to his mother's sudden closeness and was a little resistant. After thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth. Shui Sanmei and Tian Changshou were really time bombs. Shui Sanmei was just that. The village chief was suppressing him. Tian Changshou You need to think carefully about how to silence him.

Moreover, his mother usually gets involved with Shui Sanmei, gossiping all day long, and he doesn't like it either.

"I'm telling you, mother, you can't make any random noises, and you can't find anyone to settle the accounts for now, otherwise I'll be really doomed!" He Xian slowly explained the matter after repeatedly making sure that his mother would suppress her emotions.

Hearing that Shui Sanmei and Tian Changshou were also involved, trying to force her brother to pick up the guests, Ren's eyes turned red with hatred, wishing she could go to Tian's house and tear this bitch Shui Sanmei to pieces right now.

With her fingers pinched deeply into her flesh, Ren forced herself to calm down. Her hands holding He Xian tightened slightly, her eyes full of resentment. Ren Dabao, Shui Sanmei, Tian Changshou, she didn't know any of these people. Let it go.

"Go to sleep. Mom doesn't know how to deal with Third Sister Shui and the others. Forget about this matter. My brother Xian is so good, he will definitely get a good husband!" Mrs. Ren calmed down and caressed brother Xian. The child's hair sends people away.

At dawn the next day, Ren's shouts could be heard in the village!

When He Dayong got up at night and came back, he started to have a fever, and he couldn't survive until dawn!
