Little Ger, Slow Life in Another World

The topic suddenly jumped to money, and Miao Heniang couldn't figure it out. "what money?"

Miao He said with a disgusted expression, "Xiaobao is my younger brother, and this matter has not escaped. I don't want to say that I am not a brother, and let Xiaobao suffer some bad luck in the future. I am afraid that it is my mother who does not want to. Help this statement No, but if it is a dowry gift, A Niang will tell you the number directly, and I will ask Da Lang."

Hearing what Miao He said, Miao Heniang's complexion immediately became ugly, and she spoke sharply, "What nonsense are you talking about!! It's just helping her mother's family, what kind of bad luck can you bring to Xiaobao!? You brother, how can you just open your mouth? So vicious!?"

"I'm just thinking about Xiaobao. The monk who came to the village to beg for alms earlier said that people can't make a random stoma. But if A Niang really doesn't mind, it's okay, just help, don't say I didn't remind you in the future .”

At this mention, Miao Heniang also recalled.A few years ago, a monk came to their village for alms, and was quite courteous by the village head, who invited him to a few vegetarian meals, and then the monk gave lectures to the villagers.It seems that there is such a thing as saying that you should respect the sky and the earth, and talk about it.

Miao Heniang couldn't help showing hesitation.She gave birth to Xiaobao with all her life, and she is definitely her favorite.Because of this, Xiaobao was weaker than other babies after birth.She wanted to get some meat from Hege'er, just to make Xiaobao fat and healthy.Now listening to what Miao He said, if she really got some bad luck, can the meat she wants be eaten by Xiao Bao?

However, according to modern people's concept, filial piety is neither separated nor married.However, seeing Yuanshen's mother's appearance, Miao He seemed to be looking for a long-term meal ticket, and if he wanted to agree, it would be unlucky not only for himself, but also for Yang Dalang.When I didn't see her, I mainly talked about the Yang family's affairs.

Miao He didn't want Yang Dalang to help block as much as he could because he was even more unlucky.In addition, he felt that he had to use this body after all, so he had to accept this feeling.If you just say the number, you should make up for the dowry, which Miao He intended to give, even if you repay the grace of nurturing this body.

Seeing Yuan Shen's mother's expression of hesitation at this time, Miao He pushed again. "Just right, Da Lang caught a pheasant yesterday, and he was very energetic. A Niang took it home and made soup for Xiao Bao to drink, just to replenish."

After speaking, he turned around and wanted to walk to the backyard where the rooster was tied.The chicken coop has not been set up yet, so it can only be tied.Miao Heniang was really startled, and quickly grabbed Miao He's sleeve.

"Wait, wait! Hey, why are you so anxious, hasn't Aniang figured this out yet?"

Miao He glanced at her and muttered to herself, "Just think about it, Mommy. One chicken is worth two cents, and one tael is worth five chickens. If you want six taels, you can buy thirty chickens. Three Ten chickens, half a half and half a stew, how long can you drink it? In the past, the family could not eat a few in the first year. Besides, it is difficult for Da Lang to catch chickens for Xiao Bao every day."

Miao He is not nonsense.Farming technology is not advanced these days. Counting the precious rice, if a family of four grows a piece of land, the grain that can be produced in a year is only about [-] taels, and after paying the land tax, there are only fifteen or six taels left. .After deducting the food consumption of the four people for a year, the money that can be saved is only two or three taels a year.Not to mention, if the weather is bad or pests occur, the yield will be reduced even more.

Eating a chicken worth two cents is equivalent to half a month's worth of eating a bite of a person.Meat is expensive in the countryside because of the uncertainty and pressure that farmers depend on for food.

So when Miao He mentioned chicken, Miao Heniang was blinded by this algorithm.She thought, yes, if she can eat thirty chickens in a row, then her Xiaobao's body will definitely be able to make up a lot.It's just that she forgot that the vain money has to be taken home, unless it is well hidden (buying chickens and stealing them? That's impossible), and if men use some, and households use some, it will be gone soon.

However, at this moment, Miao Heniang thought about the bright future that Xiaobao would have chickens every day, gritted her teeth, and said, "Then, then eight taels, not less! It's a make-up dowry gift!"

Sure enough, it was added.

Usually the village hires a brother, about five or two.As soon as Miao Heniang opened her mouth, she thought that Miao He was so precious. She seemed to have forgotten that Miao He's reputation was so bad that she was completely unsalable.

Miao He had a look of embarrassment on his face, "Eight taels, how much does it cost? I just said six taels, and I was too high for Xiaobao. I want to say that Da Lang can give it slowly in batches so that he can agree. It will cost eight taels." Two... Forget it, anyway, I’m just talking here, and Dalang can’t do it without counting. I’d better get some rabbits to send, and use the bones to make soup, and I’m sure I’ll be able to take care of brother.”

But how can a rabbit compare to a chicken and a man?Miao Heniang has fallen into a sweet dream at the moment, and when she saw Miao He retreating, she became anxious, "Why doesn't it count? Didn't you just promise well!! Even if Da Lang is not here, you are his husband, what you said That’s not what Dalang meant!!”

And if you want to help, Brother He must be willing to take the things home.If Brother He really held a grudge, or if Yang Dalang backed out after agreeing, and took some bad things as a help, then her original plan would be in vain.After thinking about it, the more Miao Heniang thinks it is better to take the money, the more simply!

Miao He shook his head indifferently, "No. A Niang also doesn't want me to get married with Da Lang. I can't say anything about it."

"If you don't want to talk about it, then Auntie will tell it!! Auntie doesn't believe it, Dalang is so embarrassed that he won a brother for free from our family and still doesn't accept it!"

When Miao Heniang was in a hurry, by coincidence Yang Dalang came home.He also carried a chicken coop in his hand, and there was a gurgling sound inside. It must be that after selling the little wild boar, he really bought a hen and came back to lay eggs.

At this time, Miao Heniang couldn't care less about what Yang Dalang had in hand, so she hurriedly repeated what she had just said to Miao He, choosing the nice ones, and then said, "Oh, auntie, no no no, Auntie is on the other side. I don't just want to take advantage of you. I miss your third cousin, Yang Dachuan, right? He's not the right age to talk about marriage. If others want to inquire about the eldest brother of the Yang family, he won't even be able to give a few taels of dowry to marry a brother. How ugly it is."

Yang Dalang didn't respond immediately.Miao Heniang couldn't help being a little timid, she brushed her hair and put on soft words and continued, "And the money my mother asked for is also good for He Geer. He Geer's elder brother is really in poor health, and my mother is not The way, after asking for this dowry gift, I want his younger brother to make up for him and grow up safely. From now on, Brother He will also have brothers to help him, and if he wants to do any work, he will be there if he shouts."

Yang Dalang looked at Miao He first.The position of the three people at this time, Miao Heniang is facing Yang Dalang, and her back is facing Miao He.Miao He nodded slightly from behind, and silently said several times with her mouth. "I sell vegetables, and I will pay them back."

Yang Dalang looked away, but his face was more serious. "My Yang family doesn't owe a betrothal gift, it was agreed at the beginning."

This is indeed the reason, but Miao Heniang still insisted on the sake of her son, "But people want to ask, you, your Yang family, can you really tell the truth...Aniang, I don't ask too much. Eight , not seven taels! Seven taels will do.”

Yang Dalang couldn't help frowning.Even if he really wanted to give it, he couldn't afford so much at once.

Seeing this, Miao Heniang immediately changed her words, "How about six taels!! Points, you can give it in installments!"

Yang Dalang paused and nodded. "However, get the written proof before the village chief. Write it truthfully."

It means that the dowry is not owed by the Yang family, but voluntarily made up.If you want to write it like this, although it is not specified, it seems that the Miao He family regretted and became greedy after marrying their elder brother, otherwise, who would voluntarily make up for it?And leaving a written statement can prevent this matter from being talked about indiscriminately in the future, and it can also prevent Miao He's family from making other requests for other reasons.When Miao Heniang thought that she would have money to help her youngest son make up for it in the future, she had no objections, so she nodded in response.

Things didn't procrastinate, and after Yang Dalang put down his things, Miao Heniang urged the two of them to go to the village chief's house.

The head of Miaojia Village is called Miao Huosheng, and those close to him call him Uncle Huosheng, and Miao Huosheng prefers to be called the village head.When the three of Miao He came to the village chief's house, unfortunately, the original enemy was also there.It was Miao Yuan's grandfather, Miao Jue. He was the old man who said that Miao Yuan would never marry a younger brother after Miao Yuan passed the entrance examination.

Miao Jue seemed to come to discuss something with the village chief. When Miao He and the others arrived, they were still blocked from the yard and could not enter the house to disturb them.After the insider finished speaking, the village chief escorted Miao Jue out graciously, and was a little surprised to see three people outside the door.On Miao Jue's side, he sneered at Miao He first, and treated the other two as if they didn't exist, and flung his sleeves and left on his own.

Miao Heniang's complexion changed, and she felt unhappy in her heart, but there was no way, as her family was well-off and famous, so she could step on the villagers like them who depended on the land for food.

The village chief knows how to be a man, even if he has some small calculations, he is good to everyone on the face.He smiled and greeted, "Isn't this calling for my aunt? Dalang is here too? It's so rare, come and sit, sit inside and sit inside! This Agui is also a stupid boy, and he doesn't say who is looking for him. If there is a mistake, how can he fix it?" .”

Miao Heniang's complexion improved, and when she entered the door, she hurriedly said the matter.

The village head had a delicate expression after hearing this.This is also true, he has never heard that the bride price can be made up later.However, this kind of operation is actually not good for the reputation of the village.Think about it, wouldn't it be messed up if the elder brother or daughter's family had to experience this again after someone got married in the future?

It can be seen that people from both parties agree that the village chief is more protective of people with the Miao family surname in his heart. After thinking about it, he solemnly said, "As the village chief, I must speak a fair word. Dalang, this betrothal gift According to the etiquette, there is no need to make up for it. This is the reason for anyone. Moreover, it is not good for the reputation of the village, otherwise, who would dare to hire brothers and daughters in the village in the future? Logically speaking, my village head It shouldn't be helping you."

When Miao Heniang heard this, she immediately became anxious and opened her mouth to argue, but was stopped by the village chief with a wave of his hand.

"But I see, this can be regarded as the filial piety between you and Brother He, and it can't be said to be a bad thing. I can write it down for you as a proof, but you have to promise to never tell the third party about it. Listen to me. If you are complained by the villagers in the future, don’t say that I, the village head, didn’t warn you! Dalang, you should also agree.”

Miao Heniang's face brightened, and she responded repeatedly, while Yang Dalang said that there was nothing wrong, so he kept it a secret.

That being the case, the two sides talked about the content and asked the village chief to write it down with a pen and paper.The general idea is that after Yang Dalang married Miao He, he voluntarily made up the dowry gift of six taels because of his filial piety, and gave it four times.One tael after one month, and two taels a year thereafter until cleared.

After writing, Miao Heniang, Yang Dalang and the village head stamped their fingerprints, and the matter was settled.The reason why Miao He's father is not needed to come forward is because this is considered to be related to He Ge'er's marriage.As long as it's a marriage between a brother or a daughter, anything the mother decides can count.

So after leaving the village head's house, Miao Heniang returned home happily with a deed she couldn't understand, and never thought about talking to Miao He's father.

Miao He's father was stubborn, he listened to his mother, the old woman, whether it was right or wrong, good or bad, and always beat her because of the old woman.Miao Heniang thought clearly, if Miao He's father knew about the extra money, it would definitely not be guaranteed for a few days and the whole family would have to know about it, so it's okay? !

No, as soon as she got home, she rushed to the old woman's house to pick up her little treasure, and when she stepped into the house, she almost died of anger!
