Marrying into a poor family

Chapter 408

The cell leader's surname is Zhao, and he is known as Lao Zhao Tou. He is over forty this year.

There is a frail old mother at home, a virtuous but not very healthy wife Zhuang, and a daughter who has just reached the age of hairpins.

At his age, it is reasonable for him to have grandchildren. However, their family does not know if their ancestors have not accumulated good deeds. The three previous children they gave birth to all died in infancy. It was not until the youngest daughter was cautious and finally raised to the age of hair. Therefore, the only daughter Zhao Xiaoya Being held in the palm of a family's hand, I am afraid that if I make a mistake, I will follow in the footsteps of the previous children.

"You said that you finally found such a good family for Ya'er, but you couldn't afford a decent dowry. With our family like this, she will have to endure hardships when she gets married. According to me, we should have given her a dowry in the first place. Son-in-law, if our daughter stays at home, at least we can take care of her and won’t be offended by others.”

Old Zhaotou was used to hearing Zhuang's routine nagging. He used to just listen to it, but now he was very irritable.

"Okay, stop talking. Are you annoyed by your nagging all day long? Are you tired?"

Old Zhaotou yelled at Mr. Zhuang angrily. Mr. Zhuang was so angry that he glared at Old Zhaotou, but did not dare to say another word and turned around to go to the kitchen.

The daughter was doing embroidery work in front of her grandmother, her head lowered as she listened to her parents arguing. She felt no joy at being a newlywed, but instead felt a little bit of fear and curiosity about the future.

"Grandma, since they say I married into a good family, why do my father and mother say that I will be bullied? If I am going to be bullied, why do I say I am from a good family?"

Mother-in-law Zhao stroked her granddaughter's soft hair lovingly and said with a smile: "Silly boy, it's because their family is a good family, so your parents are worried that you will be wronged if you marry."

Zhao Xiaoya tilted her head and didn't understand. When she wanted to ask again, she heard the voice of Uncle Lu Xiangyin next door coming from the yard.

"Brother Zhao, you're at home!" Lu Xiangyin now has a good reputation among the neighbors. He speaks kindly and is generous with his actions. When the neighbors are in trouble, he is never vague about what he can do to help, so he His popularity is getting better and better.

"I'm working the night shift today, and I have to go on duty before dark."

Old Zhaotou stood up hurriedly, put a bench in the yard for Lu Xiangyin to sit on, and called his wife Zhuang to bring tea.

Lu Xiangyin politely refused, but Zhuang still brought a bowl of tea.

"Thank you eldest brother and sister-in-law. I came to talk to eldest brother, but it's troublesome for my sister-in-law!"

"Brother Lu has met the prince, and he is willing to come and sit in our courtyard. That is our family's blessing. Let us enjoy your blessing, and maybe our family will also be successful."

Lu Xiangyin laughed loudly and said a few polite words. Upon seeing this, Mr. Zhuang returned to the kitchen to work.

Seeing that there was no one around, Lu Xiangyin got straight to the point and said, "I heard from Brother Zhao yesterday that you are now looking after the Xie family's family members. Is this true?"

"I was chatting with you yesterday, and I felt like you weren't too interested in it. How come it's only been a day and you seem to be interested in it again?"

"To be honest, brother, I was chatting with someone about this matter today. This person seems to have some friendship with the Xie family, so please ask me to inquire about the situation."

Whenever some important prisoners are sent to the prison, there will be people asking about the situation, or taking the opportunity to go in and visit. Of course, those with a grudge will give money to the guards to teach the prisoners a lesson. Old Zhaotou's extra money comes from these places. It's impossible to ask for less money. If it's less, it won't be enough. If you ask for more, people will be jealous. Plus, staying in the cell all day, seeing too much The prisoners are all a bit vicious, so it is only the first-rate Lao Zhao who is hated and feared by others.

At first, Old Zhaotou thought that this man asked Lu Xianyin to inquire just to save this money.

But the person in front of him was Lu Xiangyin, so Old Zhaotou could only endure it.

"I am looking after all the Xie family members, but the men of the Xie family are not here with me."

"It's like this. That person wants to meet Brother Zhao in person. I don't know exactly what she wants to do." Lu Xiangyin said honestly, he really didn't know what Qin Xiang was thinking.

"This" Old Zhaotou was a little hesitant. He had heard about the sudden imprisonment of the Xie family this time. The reason why the Xie family was suddenly sent to prison was because the Du family wanted to deal with the Xie family.

For this reason, Old Zhaotou gave special instructions to the brothers under his supervision today not to get caught up in greed for money, otherwise no one would be able to save their lives.

"What? Brother Zhao is in trouble?" Lu Xiangyin saw his hesitation, asked, and then said: "Brother Zhao, our two families have contacts. You also know that I have many friends in foreign countries. I am also outspoken. When people asked, I just said proudly that my eldest brother is the one who looks after the Xie family. Now that I think about it, it was indeed presumptuous. I hope that eldest brother will forgive my younger brother's recklessness. "

After saying that, he stood up and saluted Old Zhaotou to apologize, which made Old Zhaotou startled. Then he became embarrassed and hurriedly stood up and blocked Lu Xiangyin's hand to prevent him from continuing to salute.

After some tugging, the two sat down again, and Lao Zhaotou no longer hesitated, but carried the Du family out.

When Lu Xiangyin heard this, he smiled instead and said, "As for other people, maybe they are afraid when the Du family is mentioned, but people who want to see Brother Zhao are not afraid of the Du family."

After saying that, I didn’t know what I was thinking, and the smile on my lips became deeper.

"Aren't you afraid of the Du family? Is there anyone in this city who isn't afraid of the Du family?" Old Zhaotou didn't react for a moment, and his surprised voice became louder.

"There are people outside the world, and there are people outside the world. Naturally, there are people who are not afraid of him. It's just that these people don't show off. Besides, in this world, after all, the surname is not Du, and their family can't cover up the sky in this capital with one hand." Lu Xiangyin said very clearly. Be certain.

Of course, in the past, he would have felt that the Du family was irresistible. However, after he had come into contact with more powerful people, he realized that not everyone was afraid of the Du family.

Of course, Old Zhaotou still didn't believe it. He waved his hands and shook his head and said: "This Xie family is not an ordinary family. Didn't they arrest them immediately? You didn't see that they didn't even let the child who was over one year old be spared."

After pausing for a moment, he sighed again and said: "The old man from the Xie family is also abominable. The newly married wife is only seventeen. She is as old as a flower and is about the same age as our girl. Alas, even if she is jailed, You are so ignorant that you only know how to cry and don’t know what will happen in the future?”

Probably thinking of his daughter and the poor woman who was as old as her daughter, Old Zhaotou softened his heart and said with a heart: "Forget it, for your sake, let me meet your friend." , As for whether I can help, that’s another matter, so you can explain it, right?”

Lu Xiangyin was naturally grateful. He deliberately did not come to the door with a gift first, just to make Old Zhaotou willing to agree. Otherwise, for the sake of the gift, he might have other ideas or plans in his heart.

Giving gifts afterward is a way of saying thank you, and everyone is happy.

I haven't been feeling well these past few days, and my thoughts have been confused, so I stopped updating for a few days. I hope that all the babies who are following the updates will forgive me!
