Rebirth of Okuki Kofuro

Old lady Qu scolded really badly, Qu Jiawang held him back, because arguing with old lady Qu at this moment obviously wouldn't do any good, and it would only affect his and Qu Sanya's reputation in the end.

When Mrs. Qu got tired of talking, Qu Jiawang stated: "Grandma, I said that I would marry Sanya, and I also said that I would give the betrothal gift, so I will give it. What happened yesterday was just an accident. , Sanya is my fiancée, if she falls into the water, I will rescue her, and I will not let this matter affect her."

"If you say it doesn't affect it, it doesn't affect it. Who can control the ups and downs of the mouth, in front of the big guy, you have to take out the money now, and my wife doesn't want too much, five taels of silver is the least!" Mrs. Qu The lion opened his mouth wide.

"Let me tell you, it's because my Yaowen went out to take the exam. If he was at home, this matter would affect him, and the old woman wouldn't let it go so easily!" Mrs. Qu meant that she was still so arrogant and didn't embarrass Qu Jiawang. , otherwise the dowry will be more.

Mrs. Qu didn't even think about it. Country people usually marry a daughter-in-law for one tael of silver plus some other things. The total value will not exceed two taels. To give the dowry, but also to set up a banquet for everyone to eat and drink.

She said it was five taels of silver, and the target was Qu Jiawang, so how could he get it out? Everyone watching the fun felt that Mrs. Qu was going too far.

What's more, because of Mrs. He's words just now, everyone also felt that this matter was tricky. It was because Mrs. Qu did something, or that Qu Sanya, who looked honest and honest, was also playing tricks.

To put it bluntly, Mrs. Qu's purpose today is to ask for money based on yesterday's incident. To be honest, she thinks that five taels of silver is too little, but thinking that before Qu Sanya gets married, she can still ask the fourth child for a sum of money, she thinks it is almost the same. .

Just like what the third girl said, the two girls in front of marrying the big house lost money at home, and the latter two can no longer be as casual as the former ones, and the first two must be brought back.

The old lady Qu was making a fuss at Qu Jiawang's side, and Qu Sanya, who was locked up in Qu's house, was in a mess. Her mother wouldn't let her go out. She heard her mother's scolding words before, and she lay on the bed covering the quilt and burst into fits. Trembling, she couldn't figure out what happened.

After a while, Qu Siya slipped back into the room quietly, and saw her sister's eyes closed, her face was pale, her cheeks were flushed, and her forehead was sweating unceasingly. She touched it with her hand, and the temperature scared her. Arm shaking, why is it so hot!

The weather is not really summer yet, and the water is freezing cold. If you fall into the water in summer, nothing will happen. However, if you fall into the water in this half-cold time, you won’t even have a bowl of ginger soup when you come back. How the body can bear it.

Just now, Qu Siya went to Qujiawang to listen to the corner for a while, and wanted to come back and ask her sister what was going on, but when she came back, she found that her sister had fallen ill, and it was quite serious. , Hurry up and find a doctor to see a doctor.

Fortunately, Qu Daniu and Qu Erniu were at home these few days, Qu Siya immediately found a thick quilt to wrap her sister tightly, and then ran to the field.

"Father, Second Uncle, Third Sister has a fever, and she has a fever, go back and have a look!" Qu Siya shouted as she ran, she was terribly scared now, worried that something might happen to her sister.

In the past, Qu Siya only heard that children with fever would become stupid if they didn’t get cured quickly, but two years ago, a [-]- or [-]-year-old brother in the next village fell ill, and his family members were unwilling to spend money to find a doctor to get the medicine. The son stood upright, burned for three or four days, and turned out to be a fool. It is said that he was married by the elders of the family and went to the mountains, and there was no news.

Qu Siya was worried that her sister's fever would not be taken care of by the family, and she would become a fool like that brother in the end, so she made her sister's situation a little more serious.

On the way here, Qu Siya thought about what her grandma said just now, if Qu Jiawang didn't come up with enough dowry to marry her sister, grandma would marry the third sister to the mountains, and she trembled again.

Qu Daniu heard her daughter's voice from a distance, looked up and saw that it was Si Ya, and saw her running towards them like a gust of wind, but couldn't hear what she said.

When Qu Siya ran close and listened to her words, Qu Daniu immediately ignored the work in the field and walked up the field ridge.

"Brother, don't panic, put on your shoes first." Seeing that Qu Daniu was about to walk home without shoes, Qu Erniu hurriedly reminded him.

It is possible to have a fever today after falling into the water yesterday, and Qu Sanya is also so old, she will be fine after a while.

Qu Siya looked at her second uncle, thinking that second uncle usually cared about their sisters, why was he so calm today when she heard that her sister had a fever, she couldn't help biting her lip.

In the past two years, Qu Daniu has been very concerned about Sanya and Siya's two daughters. He has already walked ahead, and he doesn't care about his younger brother and younger daughter who are lagging behind.

Qu Erniu patted Qu Siya on the head. This girl has been clever since she was a child, and she looks like a kid. She looks like she is thinking too much, so she guides her: "Don't worry, let's go back and see your third sister before we talk. Sanya is in good health, maybe she will be fine if she sweats, is there anything else you want to tell Second Uncle?"

When Qu Siya came running, she didn't think about anything else. Now that she had called the adults back, she realized that her legs were weak because of running too fast, and her throat hurt as if it had been cut by a knife.

Thinking about what she heard while running to Qujiawang, Qu Siya rolled her eyes around, swallowed her saliva to moisten her throat, and said, "Second uncle, my grandma went to my third brother-in-law's house just now. It is said that the third brother-in-law rescued the third sister who fell into the water yesterday, which has an impact on the reputation of the third sister, and the third brother-in-law is required to be responsible for the third sister. I looked at the meaning of asking the third brother-in-law to give more dowry, and the third sister-in-law seems to be unwilling."

After Qu Siya finished speaking, she glanced at her mouth, she didn't care about their sisters' reputations, if their sisters' reputations could be sold for money, I believe she would definitely sell their reputations, and find her in the name of caring for her granddaughter's reputation. The third brother-in-law is actually for money.

"Huh? Tell me carefully." Qu Erniu frowned.

After listening to Qu Siya retell some of Qu's old lady's words, Qu Erniu's brows frowned even tighter. His mother was clearly making trouble for no reason. This Qu Sanya was going to marry Qu Jiawang. What would it affect her reputation if she fell into the water to save someone? .

Thinking about the five taels of silver dowry that Mrs. Qu said, Qu Erniu's heart skipped a beat. Could it be that his mother heard from others that he took Qu Jiawang to do business outside?Found that the amount of "salary" that their brothers gave her was wrong?

But it shouldn't be, if his mother finds out, how can it be so simple, she won't have to turn the house upside down, and she hates the two of them hiding their private money the most.

Since the Liang family recruited tenant farmers last summer, Qu Daniu and Qu Erniu also returned to the Qu family and resumed their previous life. It was nothing, but they stayed at home for a long time, which made Qu Lao So dissatisfied.

Before that, Qu Daniu and the others would give Mrs. Qu a lot of money every month outside, and they would not eat the food at home, which made Mrs. Qu wake up happily when she fell asleep.

But the old man Qu is actually a little dissatisfied, because the family's field does not have Qu Daniu to take care of it tirelessly, and the grain produced in the field the year before last was one-third less than the previous year, which made Qu's land the most harvested in Qu's village. The poor batch.

This made old man Qu very embarrassed, and it also made him very worried. Fields and food are the roots of country people. Tell them to take good care of the fields.

With the careful care of Qu Daniu, the output of rice and wheat increased last year, but Mrs. Qu did a careful calculation in her heart and felt that it was not worth it.

As soon as the autumn harvest was over, she asked Qu Daniu and the others to work outside, saying that there was no work in the fields in winter, and the two of them would have nothing to eat if they didn't go out to earn money.

Looking for a job outside can't be as good as the Liang family's. It's impossible for them to bring Mrs. Mi, Mrs. Chen and others with them. Granny Qu still loses face all day long.

In fact, Qu Erniu didn't plan to do odd jobs outside, he was tired of staying at home, and he just planned to go out to earn money during the winter, and brought Qu Daniu and Qu Jiawang together. Do small business between small towns.

Bringing Qu Jiawang was not a decision made at the beginning. Qu Erniu is not very nosy, and it is easy to leak rumors when there are too many people.

It was once in the town that I saw this child being bullied and not paid enough for the work. Qu Erniu couldn't bear it for a while and took him with him. It happened that business was easier to do in winter. He and his elder brother brought him together. Things are limited, so it would be good if several Qu Jiawangs help to carry things.

Qu Jiawang is much sharper than Qu Daniu. With his help, Qu Erniu and the others can not only bring more things, but also sell things faster. Qu Erniu is more satisfied with this niece and son-in-law. As for still suffering like in her natal family.

Because of the help of Qu Er Niu, Qu Jiawang unexpectedly saved nearly eight taels of silver in one winter without knowing it. Of course, this was in addition to the previous savings of Qu Jiawang and his grandmother.

Although Qu Jiawang is Qu Daniu's prospective son-in-law, but he has a closer relationship with Qu Erniu, the dry second uncle, and he often asks Qu Erniu for things he is not sure about.

How is the family's money arranged? Qu Jiawang asked Qu Erniu privately, because he believed that Qu Erniu would not covet his family's little money.

Qu Erniu’s suggestion was to buy some missing furniture, which would cost nearly two taels. This part of the money cannot be saved, because the added furniture can be used for many years, and he and Qu Sanya will have children after they get married. It was empty and tattered.

In addition, there is about two taels of silver used as a betrothal gift, which was agreed upon during the engagement. As for the banquet, it is enough to buy a very ordinary one with a few hundred cash.

The last remaining Qu Erniu suggested that Qu Jiawang put them away first, don’t use them all, and find a way to buy land after saving money, even if it is dry land, at least plant potatoes or sweet potatoes to fill his stomach.
