Make a fortune by farming: The sweetheart of the first assistant family

Xu Dadun's conscience ached, and he blurted out: "Ying Niang, your second uncle came to see me in private. It is true that the landlord's eldest son killed his wife. Ying Niang... if you regret it, it's still too late."

Xu Yingru was struck by lightning: "Dad, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Her mother had already accepted the betrothal gift from the landlord and refused to even give her a hundred cents to thank the matchmaker!

Regret? How could she regret it?

Matchmaker Fang came out of Xu Ying's house cursing, and told everyone she met that Mrs. Lu was so stingy that she wanted to get rid of her with only ten cents, so why should she be sent off to be a beggar?

There were many people in the village who were watching the excitement and didn't mind the fuss. Seeing Matchmaker Fang complaining like this, everyone became energetic and gathered around Matchmaker Fang to ask questions.

Matchmaker Fang was already blaming Xu Ying for her unfortunate experience, but she was offended by Lu's ten taels of money as a thank you to the matchmaker. She deliberately publicized in front of everyone that Lu had taken over 10 taels from the landlord's eldest son. The betrothal gift of silver was not even given to her as a hundred cash to thank the matchmaker!

Living in the same village, Lu's stingy personality has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. What the villagers are more concerned about is the betrothal gift given to Xu Ying by the landlord's family.

"The betrothal gift is only ten taels of silver in cash! The landlord's family spends a lot of money, so Ying Niang has married into a wealthy family!"

"The landowner's betrothal gift is so generous. When the wedding banquet is held on the 18th of next month, why don't we have twenty tables?"

"What a beautiful thought you have! Ms. Lu won't even give a hundred cents to thank the matchmaker, so she's willing to host twenty banquets?"

……

I don’t know who started it, but suddenly it was related to Xu Ning and Huo Yunchao from Xu Ying’s marriage:

"Instead of waiting for the iron rooster to pluck its feathers, it is better to think of something practical. For example, Xu Tu

When will the wedding reception take place! "

"I have never seen a thick-skinned scholar. Why is Huo Yunchao so willing to do so?"

"For the first eighteen years of his reign, Huo Yun only focused on studying. Seeing that he can no longer study, why don't he think about how to live in the future?"

……

After leaving Xu Ying's house, Huo Yunchao stayed far behind Xu Ning, deliberately keeping a distance from Xu Ning.

Huo Yunchao kept in mind the admonition that "men and women should not be intimate", but he was reluctant to be too far away from his sweetheart. He followed Xu Ning while picking wild flowers. When he picked enough, he pulled a grass vine from the grass and made a garland.

"Ning Niang, this is a wreath for you."

Xu Ning's attention was first attracted by Huo Yunchao's sparkling eyes, and then fell on the colorful garland he was holding. He curled his lips and smiled: "The garland is so beautiful."

Huo Yunchao was happy.

He didn't even have a copper plate in his pocket, so he could only give free gifts to Xu Ning. After giving the garland, he took out his homemade mosquito coils from his pocket: "Mother Ning, this is my newly made mosquito coils. Before going to bed, Light it inside the house to repel mosquitoes.”

Xu Ning and Huo Yunzhao met each other's eyes. They looked away for less than five seconds and said, "Huo Shulang, my father sent a message saying that he will return home tonight."

"Really? Great!"

Huo Yun waited for so many days, looking forward to the stars and the moon, which made him extremely anxious. If his injuries hadn't healed completely, he would have even wanted to find Xu Butcher back to arrange a marriage.

After separating from Xu Ning, Huo Yunchao accidentally saw Mr. Lu walking towards the entrance of the village on his way home. He thought to himself, shouldn't Mr. Lu entertain Matchmaker Fang at home? Where is she going?

Mr. Lu doesn't care if others are envious or jealous.

, or perhaps sarcastically, she walked hurriedly to her parents' home with ten taels of fresh and warm silver in her pocket.

When Mrs. Lu came back from her parents' home, it was completely dark. When she walked in, she was startled when she saw Xu Ying, who looked like a wooden stake. She angrily cursed: "Are you standing here pretending to be a wooden man?"

Xu Ying remained silent, but as soon as she spoke it was shocking news: "Mom, I'm not getting married! Give me the betrothal gift from the landlord's family, and I'm going to break off the engagement!"

"Snapped--"

Without saying anything, Ms. Lu stepped forward and slapped Xu Ying on the face. She used all her strength and hit her hard and hard. After a while, Xu Ying's face became swollen.

"Xu Ying, I put my words here today. The landlord's betrothal gift cannot be refunded!"

Xu Ying touched her burning face and twitched the corner of her mouth, which caused a stinging feeling: "Mom, you know that the landlord's eldest son killed his wife, and you still want to coax me to marry him. Those ten taels of silver are my sacrifice Money, right?”

Mrs. Lu felt guilty about being a thief. The more she felt guilty, the louder she shouted: "Don't listen to other people's nonsense! I am your mother. I have worked so hard to bring you up, but can I still harm you? Is it because Xu Ning's dirty hooves are coming again?" Come to you to make irresponsible remarks? Would you rather trust an outsider than your own mother?"

Xu Ying stopped talking. She could no longer pretend to be deaf and dumb, and was extremely sad in her heart. She was so desperate that she didn't even have the strength to choke out Mrs. Lu.

Forget it, the ten taels of silver were regarded as her repayment of the kindness of Lu and Xu Dadun.

However, Xu Ying had to get back the ninety cents she paid to Matchmaker Fang: "Mom, Matchmaker Fang said that the money she had agreed with you in advance to thank the matchmaker was one hundred cents. I used my private money to scrape together ninety cents. Count."

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Lu knew that Xu Ying was asking her for money.

, she said nonchalantly: "You go to the village and ask people, who didn't pay ten cents to thank the matchmaker? It was obviously Matchmaker Fang who deliberately frightened you when she saw that you were young, ignorant and soft-hearted! You..."

Xu Ying interrupted Lu's sophistry and went straight to the point: "Mom, you have to pay me back the ninety cents."

The ninety cents was the only thing that belonged to her at home, and she must get it back.

Mrs. Lu pinched her neck and shouted: "Xu Ying, your wings are stiff and you want to fly away, right? I am your mother, how dare you force me to give you money!"

Xu Ying didn't want to hear any nonsense from Mrs. Lu, so she refused to let go: "Mom, if you don't pay me back the ninety cents, I will go to the landlord's house to break the engagement! Even if you trap me at home and can't break the engagement, I Just bite your tongue and kill yourself!"

Mrs. Lu had never seen such a resolute Xu Ying, and reluctantly returned the ninety cents to Xu Ying.

Xu Ying held the lost private money tightly and sat on the bedside weeping silently.

At the same time, Butcher Xu returned to Pingle Village after a long journey, and saw Huo Yunchao as soon as he entered the village.

"Butcher Xu!"

Butcher Xu came to Huo Yunchao with a lantern. Seeing him standing upright tremblingly, he frowned: "Huo Shulang, are you injured somewhere?"

Huo Yunchao scratched his head in embarrassment: "No, my legs are numb from squatting for a long time."

Butcher Xu was silent.

Huo Yunchao realized that he had said the wrong thing, but he didn't know how to make up for it, so he hesitated and couldn't form a complete sentence.

Butcher Xu suddenly said: "Huo Shulang, are you waiting for me here specifically to get married? Has your father agreed?"

Under the dim light of the lantern, Huo Yunchao couldn't see Xu Butcher's expression clearly, and replied anxiously:

"Butcher Xu, if my father kills me, he will ask for a bride price of 20 taels. If he doesn't give me this amount, he will not allow me to marry him. Butcher Xu, give me half a year. If I can earn the 20 taels as a bride price, I will marry him again." Xu family. Is this okay?"
