Rebirth Farmhouse

Chapter 208

Qin Dafu was stunned, and hurriedly said no, "Brother Xu, if this is Erni's dowry, it will be hers. If it comes to our house in the future, it will also be hers, and we will not use it."

Qin Ye also said yes and asked Father Xu to take it back.Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu said, "Brother Xu, you are a real person, but we don't have to discuss this matter, we won't use the money."

Old Xu was a little anxious, and also afraid that people would think his daughter was contemptible, so he hurriedly argued: "In-laws, in-laws, our Ernie, we are straightforward, and we don't have a big heart and only focus on being filial to work. Be filial to your parents at home. After marrying your great cause, she must be filial to you with all her heart. She has said that your life is her life, and those who can work hard must work hard."

Mrs. Liu and Qin Dafu hurriedly said they knew it, but they just refused to accept the money. Mrs. Liu said with a smile: "Brother Xu, you Ernie is a cheerful person at first glance, and we like such children. Don't worry, you and the old sister-in-law, we don't I will treat my daughter badly, and when I come to our house, I will treat it as if I have an extra daughter."

Old Xu was also happy, seeing that the Qin family refused to keep the money, he felt a little more relaxed, and felt that the Qin family did not mean to underestimate his daughter.He laughed and said: "How about this, let's find an auspicious day and make a big decision, then we will be a family."

Mrs. Liu said: "Originally, we said we'd finish our busy work. When the weather gets cold and we can't build a house, we'll go find Mrs. Zhao."

Old Xu got the letter and said happily, "Okay, okay, that's good."

After dinner, Old Xu didn't stay with them any longer to delay their work, several people sent Old Xu away, and Qin Dafu sighed when he came back: "Brother Xu really has a heart for a girl, we have to treat him well in the future point."

Liu said with a smile: "Don't worry, the family has already been separated, and no one will treat the daughter-in-law badly if they are not with his mother."

Qin Dafu just smiled, said no more, and went back to work with Qin Ye.

In the blink of an eye, in October, the foundation has been laid, and a section of the wall has been erected, just waiting to press the windows.It was chilly in October and it was inconvenient to make mud, so everyone stopped working.Qin Dafu made the decision and asked Liu to set up a big banquet for those who came to help.People in this village help each other and don't pay for meals.Qin Dafu and Qin Ergui were often asked to help others build houses.

But at night, Mrs. Liu still took two slings of money to Lao Qintou's house. In front of Lao Qintou and Zhang Shi, she pushed the money to Song Gang and said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, we know that if you go to other people's house to earn There are more, but my sister-in-law can afford these, so don't think too little."

Song Gang originally thought that this trip was definitely a helper for nothing, but his mother didn't allow him to come, saying that Lao Qin's family was a blood-sucking bug and only wanted to make a profit.He felt that since he was a relative, he couldn't ignore it, so he went against his mother's wishes, as long as he had enough food.Who knew that they had been busy for more than a month and a half, and the elder sister-in-law not only cared for them to eat and drink well, but now offered them two slings of money.

So, did the uncle's family really make a fortune?How else can I come up with two slings of money at once?

Mrs. Zhang looked at the two slings of money, her eyes lit up, and she wished she could put it in her money box.Seeing Song Gang hesitate, she said, "Take it, take it."

Hearing what she said, Song Gang was a little hesitant, and said with a smile: "Brother and sister-in-law, you should keep the money, and you have to work later. Those who buy this and that are all money." The tiles are delivered on credit, and Lao Bai’s family may have to pay for the bricks. Anyway, he knows best that building a house costs a lot of money.

Liu said with a smile: "Anyway, take your time, this money is for you."

Song Gang hesitated for a while, seeing Mrs. Zhang looking at her eagerly, he couldn't bear her burning eyes, so he said: "Then, I will take this hanging money back to my mother, this hanging money, mother Just keep it, it’s my child’s mother and I honoring you and your father.”

Before old Qintou could speak, Mrs. Zhang let out a happy "Hey" and said, "You are so polite." Speaking of which, this son-in-law is not really stingy, but his mother is in charge. His mother is really stingy, and he is afraid all day long. The daughter-in-law went to her mother's house to get something, and stared at it like a thief.

Song Gang was also a little bit pained, but if he said it, a big man would be too embarrassed to take it back.Turning back on the road, he kept patting his head with melon seeds. Was it flooded?Kicked by a donkey?Caught by a door?Why did he hang himself when his head had a fever?You can give me five hundred.Forget it, I have to go home and tell my mother that I will give you a lot of money.

The building of the house stopped, and the Liu family made preparations to make a big gift for the Xu family.Originally it was decided that it would be two or three months before the wedding, but that was the general direction, and many families would adjust it according to their own circumstances.Generally, it is necessary to stagger the busy season, and some even have to stagger the age when it is not suitable for marriage, so as not to make this taboo.

In addition to the usual geese, pastry, dates, peanuts, chestnuts and other hi-fruits, cloth, etc., the Liu family prepared two silver jewelry for Xu Erni.The family couldn't afford the silver hairpins, hairpins, earrings, bracelets, rings and other complete sets of silver accessories that the Bai family gave, so they prepared a pair of silver rings, a pair of pomegranate silver pendants, and two coins.I asked Mrs. Zhao to bring someone to send it over.

In the end, the small gift from Xu's family was more important than the big gift. Apart from a few needles and threads, there was also ten hanging coins. They sent a message to Aunt Zhao, saying that it was money for helping to build the house.This was returned as a small gift, so the Qin family could not refuse.

Aunt Zhao said happily: "Big sister, big brother, the daughter of the Xu family is a little bit older, although she is not as good-looking as the girls in our family, she is not a bad person."

Liu said: "She's a good girl, we're lucky." It was hard to talk about a daughter-in-law before, but now it's such a sensible thing to say, it's a good thing that fell from the sky.

Everyone was happy. After Mrs. Zhao left, Liu said to Qin Ye: "I think you are a daughter-in-law who lives a life. You should treat her well in the future."

Although Qin Ye was shy, he still made a promise to his mother, "Mother, don't worry, as long as she lives with us wholeheartedly, I will never let her down."

Because no one came to collect pigs, Xiuyao wanted to discuss with her father before killing the pigs and selling them. Anyway, after the Chinese New Year, more people would buy pork.If it doesn't work, they will send it to the county to sell it.

This day, I was discussing at home, planning to find a dozen young people to escort them to the county, when I heard someone shouting loudly at the door: "Is Miss Qin at home?"

Xiuyao went out to look, and saw that it was Liu Yan, but he came here by himself at the moment, and didn't bring those five-year-old and three-year-old brothers.His originally dark and fat face looked even fatter, Xiuyao felt a little swollen.

Seeing Xiuyao come out, Liu Yan immediately smiled obsequiously, "Miss Qin, I'm here to collect pigs."

Xiuyao immediately said: "We don't sell thirteen wen, we'd rather send them to the county. Let me tell you, if you dare to make trouble, we'll see you at the county government!"

Liu Yan laughed along, cautiously, "Eighteen essays, eighteen essays, we want them all!"

"Ah?" Xiuyao was stunned, "Eighteen coins? No need, if you want them all, fifteen coins. But cash."

Liu Yan immediately took out the money bag from his bosom, "This is silver, I want it all, the pig is good, you can't buy such a fat one at other stores, it's worth eighteen cash. Cash for cash!"

Xiuyao was puzzled, she looked left and right, he laughed so that she was a little suspicious.

Liu Yan looked harmless to humans and animals, like a good baby. Xiuyao couldn't see any flaws, so she invited him home.

After entering the courtyard, when Xiuyao explained the matter, Liu Shi and the others also found it inconceivable. They looked at Liu Yan suspiciously, thinking that he was trying to play some trick.

Liu Yan smiled sincerely, "We want all seven pigs. As long as we agree and pay, I will call someone to pull the pigs." He took out his money bag and muttered, "You pigs I looked at it several times, and it has been raised for another month, and it weighs about two hundred and twenty or thirty catties, eighteen cents a catty, and I guess it is about 28 taels of silver. I have 25 taels of silver here." He put the money in the bag. Pour out the silver, two ingots of ten taels, one ingot of five taels.As he said that, he took off his belt again, and there were three slings of money wrapped around it. He was thick and pretentious, with a big belly, so no one noticed that the money was wrapped there.

"It's 28 coins in total, can we check the scale?" He said with a smile.

Xiuyao felt that his smile was a bit forced and a little scared, so she couldn't help asking: "Boss Liu, you refused to ask for it before, what's the matter now?"

Liu Yan smiled very kindly, with a bit of flattery: "Isn't it a bit messy before, but now I think about it, doing business with harmony makes money, and harmony makes money."

Of course Qin Dafu and the others were happy, so they agreed. He asked Qin Ye to find someone, and then borrowed a large scale, and they weighed the pig.

Xiuyao said to Liu Yan: "Boss Liu, where are your people? They are stronger, so call us to weigh them together." They specialize in butchering pigs, and they must be able to tie pigs and weigh them.

Seeing what she said, Liu Yan dared to speak, "Okay, I'll call them and wait outside the village." He let go of his feet and ran outside the village, and called in the four people who were driving the mule cart outside. Also brought a scale.

Seeing that they have scales, Xiuyao smiled and said, "It's just that I don't need to borrow them."

Liu Yan looked at her, "Miss Qin, do you trust our scale?"

Xiuyao smiled: "Why don't you believe me. You sell meat at the market every day. I haven't heard people say that you are short of catties." Although they dominate the market, or they don't allow too many people to steal their business, they still treat ordinary customers That's right, there is no short catty or two.

Liu Yan laughed: "That is, that is, we are based on honesty."
