peasant girl wedding

Chapter 108
Tong Zhixin's family entered a restaurant, followed Guanshi Zhang to the private room on the second floor, and invited Qin An to take the upper seat.

It was Tong Zhixin who ordered the food, and when the food and wine were on the table, he held up his wine glass and said to Qin An gratefully, "Shopkeeper Qin, I'm sorry to trouble you this time. Also, the glazed window..."

The price of the glazed window from Liulizhuang in Jingdezhen is not as simple as ten taels of silver.Qin An's loss, really will be generous.

Qin An smiled indifferently, "Boss Tong, since I sold Liulichuang to you, this is your property."

The implication is that Qin An will not take back the glazed window and let Tong Zhixin figure it out on his own.

Tong Zhi's confidence burst into excitement, "Shopkeeper Qin, if you need me in the future, just open your mouth."

Qin An smiled, but did not answer, and focused his gaze on Tong Zhi'er opposite.

Fang Cuiwei felt a little uneasy.

"Shopkeeper Qin, I respect you. I miss your help today."

Tong Zhi'er got up, took a glass of wine and said.

Fang Cui frowned slightly, "Zhi'er..."

"Mother, it's okay." Knowing that Fang Cuiwei was worried about her drinking, Tong Zhi'er whispered to her, then raised his head and drank the wine in the glass.

It smells very fragrant, but it feels spicy when it enters the throat.

Tong Zhi'er's face was flushed, but her eyes were frighteningly bright.

Qin An on the opposite side looked at Tong Zhi'er, slightly lost in thought.

"Don't you drink?"

Noticing that Qin An wasn't drinking, Tong Zhi'er frowned and said a little unhappy.Probably drunken people, at this moment, she has no respect for Qin An in the usual way, and the tone of her speech is right to treat him as an equal.

Fang Cuiwei secretly tugged at the hem of Tong Zhi'er's clothes under the table.

But Tong Zhi'er ignored her, and looked at Qin An with her mouth pouted, she must be a little drunk.

Qin An stood up and drank three glasses of wine in front of Tong Zhi'er.

"good."

Tong Zhi'er slapped her hands giggly and laughed, then obediently sat back on the chair.

"I made Shopkeeper Qin laugh." Tong Zhi'er's appearance made Tong Zhixin feel a little different, thinking that he would never ask Tong Zhi'er to drink again in the future.

Qin An shook his head, staring at Tong Zhi'er with burning eyes.

Fang Cuiwei was a little startled by this gaze.

"Fourth brother——"

The private room door opened, and Tong Zhide's voice came from the door.

Tong Zhixin immediately stood up, "Second Brother." Seeing that Tong Zhide was still following Luo Shi, Tong Zhixin called out "Second Sister-in-law" again.Fang Cuiwei and the children also greeted them.

"Shopkeeper Qin, this is my second brother and second sister-in-law."

Qin An nodded, his attitude was very indifferent.

Tong Zhixin turned to look at Tong Zhide and Luo Shi, "Second brother, second sister-in-law, let's sit and eat together."

Tong Zhide waved his hands again and again, "Fourth brother, I came to you to talk to you about something urgent, please come out for a while."

Tong Zhixin apologized to Qin An, and then followed Tong Zhide and Luo Shi out of a restaurant. Seeing Tong Zhixin, he didn't stop, and continued to follow him into an empty alley.

"Second brother, what's the matter?"

"Fourth brother, something serious happened at home..."

Tong Zhide told Tong Zhixin what happened in Tong's old house as soon as possible.

Tong Zhixin was very shocked, he didn't expect that the Lin family would do such a thing, and the old lady wanted to sell Tong Cui'er to the Gao family as a concubine.

"Fourth brother, I came here just to ask you to borrow 50 taels of silver so that I can do business with the county master." Tong Zhide said with a blushing face.

"Second brother, you all go home with me to get the money."

Tong Zhixin hired a carriage, let Tong Zhide and Luo Shi get into the carriage, and asked the driver to send them to the village as soon as possible.

After handing over 50 taels of silver to Tong Zhide and watching the two of them leave in a hurry, Tong Zhixin rushed to another restaurant.At this moment, the banquet was over, but Qin An still didn't leave.

Tong Zhixin apologized again and again.

Qin An sat for a while, then left the private room to attend to his own affairs.

Tong Zhixin ate the remaining cold dishes, and after a short rest, the family came out of a restaurant and hired a carriage to go home.

"What's the purpose of the second brother and the second sister-in-law?" Fang Cuiwei asked after arriving home.

Tong Zhixin sighed for a long time, and told Cuiwei what Tong Zhide told him, Tong Duo'er, Tong Zhi'er and Tong Zhu'er were all dumbfounded.

"I didn't expect such a thing to happen." Fang Cuiwei sighed.

Tong Zhixin was silent, and the atmosphere in the room was a bit dignified.

In the evening, Tong Zhide and Luo Shi came again, bringing Tong Zhixin's 50 taels of silver with them.

"Second brother, this..."

Tong Zhide's face was heavy.

With red eyes, Luo Shi choked up and said: "Mother, Mother sold Tweety to the old lady of the Gao family as a concubine, and the Gao family gave 100 taels of silver. It was already too late when we returned with the silver..."

At this point, Luo's eyes burst into tears.

When young girls are married to a 90-year-old tyrannical old man, they can't believe that the old lady really did such a thing.

"It's all my fault. If I stayed at home, it would be fine if only your second sister-in-law came to borrow the money." Tong Zhide blamed himself very much.

The two stayed here very late before leaving.

At night, Tong Zhixin lay on the couch with his eyes open, unable to fall asleep for a long time.

"If, if I had known that it was the second brother who stole Liulichuang, I would not have reported it to the authorities."

Tong Zhixin's voice was light and ethereal.

"Where are there so many things in this world that I knew earlier, the child's father, it's not your fault." Fang Cuiwei comforted him, feeling sympathy and pity for Tong Cui'er in her heart.

"When Tweety returns home in a few days, let's go and see her." Tong Zhixin said quietly.

Fang Cui nodded slightly, said "Yes", and put the quilt back on him, "Go to bed early."

In the next room, the three sisters were sleeping together with Tong Zhaofu who was laying on the floor. None of the four fell asleep.

Tong Zhaofu, who came back from the private school, asked Tong Zhu'er, and already knew what happened, but he couldn't tell what his feelings were for the uncle's family.

"Eldest sister, second sister, will cousin Cui'er be very pitiful in the future?" Tong Zhu'er asked in a daze.

Tong Duo'er let out a long sigh.

Tong Zhi'er said coldly: "I didn't expect grandma to be so cruel."

Tong Zhaofu didn't speak, but his eyes were full of anger.

The old lady's cruelty, they had already experienced it when Tong Zhi'er was dying of illness.Fortunately, parents took them away from Tong's old house early, otherwise, the next Tong Cui'er would most likely be them.

.........

The old lady got the silver, so she asked Tong Zhide to follow her the next morning, and went to the county with the old man, handed over 50 taels of silver to the county master, and brought some food for Tong Zhiming in the prison, Luo Shi Stay at home to cook and take care of Lin.

Anxious to see Tong Zhiming, the old lady hired a carriage, and when she arrived at the county government office, she gave 50 taels of silver to the county master, and they sent a tael of silver to visit Tong Zhiming in prison.

The cell was dark and narrow, and the aisle that only allowed one person to pass was full of water, and an unpleasant smell escaped from the cell.

When Tong Zhide saw Tong Zhiming, he couldn't believe that this was his elder brother.

With messy hair and clothes, sunken eye sockets and blue stubble, Tong Zhiming seemed to have aged ten years.

The old lady was so shocked that she even grabbed the wooden fence and cried.

Old man Tong trembled his lips, but didn't say a word.

"Brother, we have handed over the 50 taels of silver to the county lord. The county lord said that your charges can be mitigated and you will be released from prison in three months."

Hearing Tong Zhide's words, Tong Zhiming, who had been expressionless all this time, immediately came over, "Really?"

Tong Zhide nodded.

"Three months, three months..."

Tong Zhiming counted the days with his fingers.

"Brother, I have something to tell you," Tong Zhide's voice became heavy, "The 50 taels of silver came from selling Tweety to the Gao family as a concubine."

"What?" Tong Zhiming was very surprised, "Isn't the 50 taels of silver hidden under the cabinet in my room? Why did you sell Tweety to the Gao family as a concubine?"

The old lady took Tong Zhiming's words and said angrily: "It's not that your girl took the 50 taels of silver and ran away. Later, I met a thief on the road and robbed them all. In order to save you, I had to sell her." Be a concubine for the old man of the Gao family."

Tong Zhiming was startled.

Tong Zhide thought, the eldest brother must be very sad in his heart, the only daughter was sold to the old lady of the Gao family as a concubine. There was a burst of wild laughter.

That wild laugh came from Tong Zhiming's mouth.

"Damn girl, you dared to steal the money and put me in prison for the rest of my life. Sell it well, sell it well..."

"It's just that she and her mother are all good things. Boss, you don't know that your daughter-in-law is a wicked bad woman..."

Tong Zhide involuntarily took a few steps back.

This is his mother and elder brother.

Facing their relatives, is this their attitude?

Tong Zhide's heart seemed to have fallen into an abyss.

There are only the old lady and Tong Zhiming in the dungeon, and you curse at me every time.Tong Zhide lowered his head and didn't say another word.

"Second brother, remember to come to the prison to see your elder brother often in the future."

After leaving the prison, the old lady said to Tong Zhide.

Tong Zhide was thinking about something, but did not answer.

The old lady got angry and roared, "Did you hear that?" Immediately, passers-by gathered to watch.

Tongzhi nodded awkwardly.

"Like a log, how could I give birth to a son like you..."

The old lady babbled non-stop.

When I went back, I also made a carriage, but there were only the old lady and old man Tong on the carriage. Regarding Tong Zhide's behavior of not getting on the carriage, the old lady didn't say anything, but she was satisfied in her heart, saving another sum of money ...

On this day, Tong Zhide lived in a muddle.

At night, the old lady's scolding in the yard continued, and Lin's crying continued.

In the room, Luo Shi was serving Tong Zhide to wash his feet, but suddenly he grabbed both hands.

"Daughter-in-law, let's split up too..."
