Upon hearing this, Zijuan immediately came up with an idea in a low voice, "We bought Fang Yue'er for five taels of silver back then, and then we sold her for ten taels of silver. The daughter of a villager's family has to sell her at this age." It won’t be too much, so let’s give all the ten taels of silver to her father. In this way, his father is equivalent to taking our fifteen taels of silver. Fifteen taels can buy a strong laborer. If his father If we still ask, let’s just say that the lady likes this girl and wants to stay by her side, won’t this matter be solved?”
Regarding Zijuan's suggestion, Zhou nodded approvingly. She sighed in a low voice, "If my husband was still here, we wouldn't even have to look at this little guy. We would just have him blasted away."
After sighing, Mrs. Zhou turned to look at the guard and said, "Did you hear what Miss Zijuan said? Give them ten taels of silver and send them away quickly."
When Zhou said this, he was just as disgusted as dismissing a beggar.
The guard said yes, then took the ten taels of silver from Zijuan's hand, and walked out the door.
Came to the gate again. This time, the guard was much more polite than before.
He looked at the two people sitting on the ground and said with a smile, "You two, this is the money my wife gave you. Please take it first."
As soon as he heard that there was money to be taken, Fang Lazy's eyes lit up.
He didn't even think about why others gave him money for no reason.
In the end, Fang Dali stopped him, so he didn't go to take the money.
Fang Dali asked very cautiously, "Why did your wife give us money?"
Hearing this, the guard smiled and said, "Madam really likes Miss Yue'er and wants to keep her by her side, so she wants to buy Miss Yue'er from you for ten taels of silver."
These ten taels of silver seemed very attractive at first glance.
If Liu Youcai hadn't proposed to marry him, Fang Lazy Man would have probably agreed to it. After all, a small family can't get much money for marrying their daughter, but being a maid in a big family can give them ten taels, which is considered generous, not to mention that they have already spent a lot of money. He spent five taels of silver from the other party.
However, after having Liu Youcai, this money seemed meaningless.
Although Liu Youcai was unwilling to pay the betrothal money, Liu Youcai promised himself that he would settle the couple into his home.
Their house is so grand, with seven or eight large houses with gray tiles and white walls. Their small villages don't have that grandeur.
Although this kind of grandeur cannot be compared with the Minister's Mansion. However, they couldn't live in the minister's house, and Liu Youcai promised the couple that they would eat rice and noodles every day and wear silk and satin every day. The cost of these expenses would not be less than ten taels of silver.
And if their daughter gives birth to a son for Liu Youcai, then they can also share Liu Youcai's property. By then, can't they also become small landlords?
So no matter how the account is calculated, Liu Youcai's side is more cost-effective.
This time, without waiting for Fang Dali to speak, the lazy Fang took the first step and rejected their request, "That's no good. My daughter has been sold to you for eighteen years. It's enough no matter what. I don't care about this small amount of money. I want my daughter." , I want to take her home, please call her out quickly!"
Unexpectedly, Fang Lazyhan would refuse the money. Not only Fang Dali, but also the doorman were shocked. This man was so greedy for money, but now he actually said such things. This is unreasonable no matter how you look at it. .
Fang Lazyhan saw that the guard was still standing there without saying a word. He couldn't help but said to the guard, "Why are you still standing there? I don't want the money. I just want my daughter to come home with me. Please let my daughter out."
Unexpectedly, this lazy guy didn't even take any money, and now the guard was in trouble.
The guard was a little confused.
"Old man, these ten taels of silver are quite a lot. What else do you think you're dissatisfied with? It's already pretty good for a girl to get ten taels of silver. If other people heard about this price, they would definitely lose their money. I'm as happy as eating a pie, why are you still not satisfied when I get here?"
Hearing what the guard said, Fang Lanhan wasn't angry at all. He just said, "If other people are willing to sell it, that's their business. You can go find other people's houses. Anyway, my house is
Unwillingly. Having said all this, can you please let my daughter come out? "
Upon hearing this, the doorman became even more embarrassed. He wanted to drive people away, but looking at Fang Dali, who was standing at the door like a King Kong door god, he did not dare to take action forcefully. He could only helplessly say to the lazy man, " So how much do you want?"
"No matter how much! I want my daughter!" Fang Lazy said loudly.
Hearing Fang Lanhan's words, the guard just sighed and said, "Why are you so stubborn, old man! Okay, just wait, I'll go find Madam and talk to you. But I'm just a messenger. If Madam doesn't I agree, but there’s nothing I can do about it.”
After saying this, the guard ran to Mrs. Zhou and shouted, "Madam."
Seeing that the guard came again, Mrs. Zhou was really unhappy. "Didn't I tell you how to deal with that old man? Why are you here again?"
Hearing Zhou's words, the guard just whispered aggrievedly, "Madam, I didn't insist on looking for you. It's just that the old man was too stubborn. He wanted his daughter to go home at all. And there was someone standing next to him. He's a tall kid, and he's not easy to mess with at first glance. I mean, it doesn't make sense, and I can't beat him."
Hearing what the guard said, Mrs. Zhou immediately said to the people around her, "Tell me what this old man wants. He has never been so protective of his daughter before."
Hearing Mrs. Zhou's words, a housekeeper seemed to have remembered something. She immediately stood up and said, "Madam, I suddenly remembered something."
After hearing the stewardess's words, Zhou and the others naturally only looked at each other.
Zhou immediately couldn't help but ask, "What did you remember?"
The housekeeper just said in a low voice, "I remembered that a few days ago, someone from Fangjia Village came over and asked to find Fang Yue'er. I pushed him away. Then they said that it was okay if they couldn't see Fang Yue'er. Could you please give it to Zhang?" Portrait, they wanted to marry Fang Yue'er, so I gave the portrait to them without much thought."
As soon as the steward said this, Zhou's face turned dark.
She said coldly, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
Faced with Mr. Zhou's questioning, the steward lowered his head and said, "I'm afraid you'll get bored hearing this name."
Zhou didn't say anything after hearing this. She was a little annoyed to see the manager taking matters into his own hands.
She then turned to look at Zijuan and said, "Zijuan, what do you think?"
Zijuan just whispered, "If that's what you say, I can figure it out. Fang Yue'er was born beautiful and it was a good age to get married. This old man probably found a wealthy marriage for his daughter." That’s why he doesn’t care about such a small amount of money right now.”
After listening to Zijuan's analysis, everyone just nodded. Everyone felt that what Zijuan said was very reasonable.
After analyzing the reason, Zijuan took the initiative and said to Zhou, "Madam, why don't you leave this matter to me?"
Zhou nodded after hearing this, "That's okay, but you have to pay attention to your own safety."
Upon hearing this, Zijuan just whispered, "Madam, please don't worry."
After the words fell, Zijuan followed the guard to the door.
This lazy man had not seen his daughter for a long time. When he suddenly saw a beautiful girl, he thought she was his daughter, so he immediately came to Zijuan and shouted, "My daughter, Now that I have seen you, dad misses you so much!"
However, after hearing Fang Lanhan's words, Zijuan immediately showed a disgusted expression, "I'm not your daughter!"
As soon as he heard that it was not his daughter, Fang Lanhan immediately put away his tears.
It can be said that no actor is as flexible as him.
He looked at Zijuan blankly and said, "You are not my daughter, then who are you?"
Zijuan said expressionlessly, "I am Zijuan, the eldest maid beside Madam. Madam sent me here to talk to you about your daughter."
Upon hearing what the other party said, Fang Lanhan immediately said, "What else do we have to talk about? The contract period is over! I don't want to sell my daughter anymore, shouldn't you give my daughter back to me!"
Hearing this, the door on the side
Wei Zhi also felt very embarrassed. After all, the contract period had expired. It was his right whether he wanted to sell his daughter again.
But they really couldn't get anyone, after all, they had sold them before.
And just when the guard thought that Zijuan would ask the other party how much money he would need to solve the problem like him.
Zijuan turned around and said, "If you want your daughter to go back with you, of course we can agree!"
Upon hearing this, the guard was dumbfounded, but the lazy man just said with joy on his face, "The girl is still reasonable."
Unexpectedly, Zijuan said, "I haven't finished speaking yet. She wants to go back, and we have to settle an account with her."
Upon hearing Zijuan's words, Fang Lanhan immediately alerted and said, "Settling the score? What kind of score is being settled?"
Zijuan just said, "Of course it depends on how much we spent on your daughter."
After saying this, Zijuan even asked the housekeeper to calculate how much money they spent on Fang Yue'er.
After hearing this, the mother-in-law reported to Fang Lazy Man how much money Fang Yue'er had spent on food, clothing, and clothing in the past ten years.
Fang Lazy probably never thought that his daughter could actually spend so much money. He only took five taels of silver at the beginning, but his daughter spent more than a hundred taels here. Is he raising a baby or a gold-devouring beast? .
When Fang Lanhan was dumbfounded, Zijuan just said, "Look, your daughter spent more than 140 taels of silver on us. From the time she was that old, we You spent money to train her to be so beautiful, and now she is finally able to be useful, but you say you want to take her back. How can such a good thing happen in this world? Are we doing charity?"
"We have put a lot of effort into her current appearance, food, clothing, housing and transportation. I know you just want to marry your daughter off to those rich landlords, and we have no objection to your approach."
