Chapter 140 Selling a Daughter for a Son
Su Caicai was overjoyed, and she asked, "But, ten taels of silver..."

Su Caicai grows so big, she has never seen what a tael of silver looks like, let alone ten taels of silver!
She thought it was a lot of money.

But he didn't know that to Qin Che, ten taels of silver was just a small amount.

"You don't have to worry about the money. If you can accept this proposal, we can go to your home to discuss this matter with your parents now."

Su Caicai said without any hesitation: "I am willing, I am willing."

"Okay then, let's go to your house now."

Qin Che and Xie Mingzhu went to Su's house with Su Caicai.

After Xie Yunli and Zhao shi learned about it, they were afraid that the Su family would cause trouble for their daughter, so they also wandered around the field stalks near the Su family, thinking that if the Su family broke out, they would give their daughter help.

As soon as Xie Mingzhu and Qin Che arrived at the Su's courtyard, they found that the matchmaker was still sitting in the Su's courtyard.

"Mingzhu, you just came, and I just told you that Cai Cai won't come to school tomorrow, and she's getting married..."

Su Caicai was afraid that the matter had become a foregone conclusion, so she blushed anxiously and shouted, "I don't want to marry!"

"You child, that woman doesn't marry, and if you don't marry, you want to be an aunt?" Mother Su complained.

Su's father said: "It's up to you whether you marry or not, according to the orders of your parents and the words of your matchmaker!"

Su Caicai was so angry that her whole body trembled, she shouted: "I don't want to marry, you want to marry, you marry yourself, if anyone of you forces me to marry someone, I'll hit the wall and die!"

Su Caicai is not stupid, she went to a strange house.

In order to marry her, he owed a huge debt, how can her life be easier?

Rather than being tortured to death, it would be better to just die now.

"Damn, show me if you have the ability to die!" Mother Su cursed and said, "Don't make a scene, I can tell you, we have discussed it, you have to marry if you don't marry, if you dare to hit the wall to die , I will send your body over there..."

Su Caicai cried in anger!

Qin Che looked at the Su family's parents, and at the Su family's thatched cottage.

The Su family's house is not big.

There are three rooms in total.

One main room, two main rooms.

A shed was built with thatch next to it as a kitchen.

A corner of the kitchen is Su Caicai's residence.

Qin Che looked at the environment, took a deep breath, and said without changing his face: "If you force Su Caicai to death, the government will come to arrest him!"

"This dead girl is my daughter, whether she is dead or alive, what does the government care about?"

Qin Che also finally understood what Xie Mingzhu meant by popularizing the law.

These people don't know the law anymore, they are definitely legally illiterate.

Xie Mingzhu was afraid that Qin Che would get entangled in this matter again, so she stretched out her hand to pull Qin Che, and said slowly, "You said you found a good family for Cai Cai, but what kind of good family did you find?"

"In Xiahe Village, the family has [-] acres of good house, and five big houses..."

Su's mother tried to put it nicely, but as for the real situation inside, she would not tell the truth.

"Cai Cai is also lucky. As long as she gave birth to a cub in the past, wouldn't the fields and the house belong to her? I am this girl's real father and mother, so can I still harm her?"

Su Caicai's eyes turned red with anger, and she said sadly, "Why don't you call him a fool?"

Mother Su made a gesture to beat Su Caicai.

Su Caicai was not afraid, she just raised her head and said with grief and indignation, "Hit me, you'd better kill me! If I die, I will curse you, and curse that none of your sons will be able to marry a wife... ..."

Before Su Caicai finished speaking, Su's mother slapped Su Caicai on the face.

Not only that, Su's father also took a broom and joined the team that beat Su Caicai.

Even the eldest brother of the Su family, who was sleeping in the room, rushed out of the room when he heard Su Caicai's younger sister curse him, and cleaned up Su Caicai with his parents.

The three of the Su family thought very simply, if the girl is disobedient, just give her a good beating.

If you don't listen anymore, just beat him a few more times.

Anyway, since I was a child, it's not like I haven't played before.

"enough!"

Xie Mingzhu forcefully snatched the broom from Father Su's hand, and said, "We have heard about the fact that you want to marry Cai Cai. We are here today because of Cai Cai."

Su's father and Su's mother look at me and I look at you. I don't understand what Xie Mingzhu means?
"The reason why you want to marry Cai Cai is nothing more than a dowry gift of ten taels of silver. You are also selling Cai Cai. Instead of selling it to a fool, you should sell Cai Cai to me!"

Father Su's mind turned quickly, and when he heard that Xie Mingzhu was going to sell, he opened his mouth and said, "Mingzhu, if you want to buy this girl, you will have to pay 15 taels of silver!"

Su Caicai was even more shocked to the point of collapse when facing Su's father's wild asking price!
Big brother wants five taels of silver as a bride price!

They wanted ten taels from the family in Xiahe Village, but now that Aunt Mingzhu wanted to buy her, they actually wanted fifteen taels?

"One price, ten taels." It's not that Xie Mingzhu can't come up with money, but she can't make such a start. If they make such a start, then they will taste the sweetness and ask for more prices. "Ten Two taels of silver, not even one cent more, Su Shu and Aunt Su, have you thought about it? Are you obediently taking ten taels of silver from me, or are you going to Xiahe Village to get ten taels of silver? Of course, if you decide to go to Xiahe Village If you take ten taels of silver, for Xiejia Village, your behavior is like selling your daughters. Although it is impossible for us to drive you out of Xiejia Village, but..."

In the village, there are many ways to dissuade people.

Xie Mingzhu knew it, but she just didn't bother to use it.

The Su family couple understood the meaning of Xie Mingzhu's words.

The two figured it out.

The reason why they asked for ten taels of silver was that they thought that five taels of silver would be used as a dowry gift, and the remaining silver would allow them to build two more houses.

The eldest is about to start a family, and then the younger ones are also getting married.

When they start a family, they also need a new house.

Furthermore, hosting banquets and the like also requires money!

The two of the Su family thought, in case Xie Mingzhu was offended, when the son got married, none of the Xie family villagers came to the feast, and if this would be passed on to the future daughter-in-law's natal family, they would definitely think they were Can't be human or anything.

There was no need for Xie Mingzhu to say anything more, Su's mother changed her words and said, "Ten taels is ten taels, when will you give it to us?"

"Now that you have signed the deed of sale, you can do it now!"

"Sign, sign now!"

Su's father gritted his teeth, he had to sign quickly, lest Xie Mingzhu would be unwilling if it was too late.

Xie Mingzhu glanced at Su Caicai and said, "Caicai, go and pack your things."

Su Caicai went into the stove room built by the thatched shed, and only took a set of tattered clothes for a change.

For these years, she lived in the Su family, lived in a straw hut, wore tattered clothes, and lived a difficult life. Now, although she doesn't know what the future will be like, her heart is full of yearning and expectations for a better life in the future.
