Chapter 2
It was just dawn, and the weeds on the roadside were so sluggish from the frost that they couldn't lift their heads. After walking for tens of meters, Su Qinghuan's trousers were already soaked by the frost.

She walked to the edge of the village in one breath, and walked out along the dirt road for about two miles.

There is no market in the town today, so there should be few people going out so early, she is waiting for someone.

The autumn wind is cold, and Su Qinghuan's clothes are thin, because she still has to pretend to be poor, so she dare not buy more clothes now,
She scolded the sky, huddled her hands and crossed her chest, kept pacing back and forth, looking anxiously at the end of the road.

After more than a quarter of an hour, a man wearing a soap robe, holding a knife and riding a donkey appeared in her sight. It was Song Dashan whom she had been waiting for so hard.

Song Dashan was twenty this year, and with his uncle's blessing, he found a job as a government servant in the county government office, and he was very respectable in the village.

Although he also likes to brag and be sought after by others, overall he is a warm and happy young man.

For example, seeing Su Qinghuan now, he immediately got off the little donkey and said, "Sister Su, why are you here?"

In fact, Su Qinghuan is quite familiar with him because of Lin Sanhua.

Although Su Qinghuan has only been back for half a year, she is already Lin Sanhua's best friend, bar none.

And this kid, he was thinking about Lin Sanhua. Although he couldn't get what he wanted for various reasons, he loved Su Qinghuan and was very friendly to Su Qinghuan.

Lin Sanhua always complained in front of Su Qinghuan about the stupid things he did and said; but Su Qinghuan knew that she also had him in her heart.However, both parents hope that their daughter and son can climb high branches, so the two have many difficulties.

"Brother Song, I'm looking for you." Su Qinghuan said with a smile.

"Looking for me?" Song Dashan was stunned, "What do you want me for?"

Thinking of what Lin Sanhua came to ask him in a hurry last night, he couldn't help thinking about it: Could it be that Su Qinghuan knew about it and wanted to find someone to marry?Like, marry him?

Besides, he couldn't think of any reason for her to block him here so early in the morning.

"I'm saving money," he said before Su Qinghuan could answer, "I want to save money to marry Sanhua."

Well, he is loyal to Sanhua and wants to ruthlessly extinguish other small flames, even Su Qinghuan who he thinks is very good.

Su Qinghuan still frowned: "I'll give you money."

Hearing the money, Song Dashan regained his spirits: "Is there a way for Miss Qing Huan to get rich?"

He is crazy about money now.Lin Sanhua's parents had already said that they would never marry their daughter without a dowry of 66 taels of silver.

The general price of engagement money here is ten taels of silver, and 20 taels is already envied by everyone.So everyone laughed at the lions of the Lin family couple who opened their mouths—your girl is good-looking, but can she be eaten for good-looking?Still so aggressive, whoever marries will be unlucky!

But Song Dashan is willing!

Except for one thing, he has no money.

Being a yamen servant has already emptied his family's wealth. Now his parents point him to find a daughter from a rich family in the county and bring a large dowry, and they will never allow him to spend money to marry Lin Sanhua.

Therefore, he now dreams of money.

Tsk tsk, even the address has changed, Su Qinghuan secretly smiled.

It went well, oh yeah!
She said according to her plan: "Brother Song, I ask you to do me a favor. I will give you 70 taels of silver. Of course, this matter must also cost money, and the rest is yours."

Song Dashan's eyes lit up, and he said, "Sister, you really hid the money!" No wonder the old lady Song stared at her every day, he also admired Su Qinghuan, he was really calm.

"No, no," Qing Huan hurriedly waved her hand, "I only have so much money in my hand, but if I can't get through now, there will be no future. So I just take it out and see if I can solve this matter."

"Sister is decisive." Song Dashan gave a thumbs up and said, "If I can help my neighbors, I will charge you a little less money. When I borrow from you, I will double it when I get rich. Pay you back."

Qing Huan smiled and said: "Then thank you Brother Song first, that's what I think..."

Now the imperial court is chaotic, levies are violent, the upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked, and the place is even more chaotic. Otherwise, Song Dashan can't ask someone to spend money as a government servant.

Qing Huan got a lot of news from the Cheng family and later from Lin Sanhua, so she made this decision boldly.

After finishing speaking, she said earnestly: "I know there are risks, so I took out all my savings and handed it over to Brother Song. I'm not in a hurry, you take your time to think about it, it's 50 taels of money."

She took out a bank note from her purse and handed it to Song Dashan.

Song Dashan was stunned by her proposal, a voice in his heart told him "reject, must refuse", but another voice said, "This matter is not so difficult, maybe the 70 taels of silver can leave 50 taels, Then it will be just around the corner to marry Sanhua."

When he saw the 50 taels silver note, his eyes lit up, and he joked, "Sister, you are not afraid that I will put it in my pocket and not do things for you?"

"It's not necessary to suspect people, and it's not necessary to employ people." Qing Huan said frankly, "What's more, I can trust Sanhua's vision."

The latter sentence was really an excellent compliment. Song Dashan was so excited that he immediately said: "Okay, I will accept this matter. You go home and wait for my news!"

Qing Huan bowed her knees and saluted, and said cheerfully: "Then I'll leave it to Brother Song, I'll go back first."

Watching her leave, Song Dashan calmed down slowly, regretting that he had agreed so soon.However, the silver bill in his hand was scalding hot again, which made his heart agitated.

Lin Sanhua's dark eyes, hearty smile and handsome appearance all appeared in front of his eyes, Song Dashan gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

Although Su Qinghuan was relaxed on the surface, she was also very anxious in her heart. After all, she handed over half of her savings at once, and if this matter were leaked, the consequences would be disastrous.

She was preoccupied for a few days, lost her mind when going up the mountain to collect herbs, and sometimes wondered if she was too whimsical.

That night, she had already lay down and slept, when she was suddenly awakened by the sound of hurried footsteps outside.

Su Qinghuan felt something, sat up suddenly, and heard Song Dashan shouting in a low voice outside: "Sister, open the door quickly, someone brought it for you."

She quickly got out of bed, her hair was disheveled, she didn't have time to put on her shoes, she touched the darkness to light the oil lamp, and opened the door with one push.

Song Dashan and another yamen servant carried a stretcher. There was a man lying on the stretcher. It was too dark to see his face clearly. He only thought that the man should be very tall.

The two carried the person in and put them on the ground. Song Dashan took out a few pieces of paper from his arms and said to Su Qinghuan, "The person brought it to you, and all the paperwork you asked for has been completed, so you put it away."

He was so efficient that Su Qinghuan was caught off guard and a little confused.

She is not alone!In this small shabby house where turning around is too much of a hindrance, there is a "sister-in-law" whom she bought for 70 taels of silver.
