When Fang Lanhan saw that the person who had come over turned back, he immediately started to groan.
"Ouch! Ouch! I'm not! I'm not the father-in-law of the Liu family. If I were his father-in-law, they wouldn't be able to beat me out! Who can help me? I thank his eight generations of ancestors."
Listening to Fang Lazy's call, he felt pity for the old man, so a young man finally helped him sit down at the foot of the wall.
However, although he sat at the foot of the wall, those people just ignored Fang Lazy Man.
Fang Lazyhan was asking for trouble at this time.
When the young man saw this, he only took the initiative to ask, "Old man, how did you get beaten? Their family owes you something? Do you want to go to the hospital?"
Fang Lanhan felt somewhat regretful at this moment, but on the other hand, he was secretly glad that he did not marry his daughter into Liu Youcai's family.
Otherwise, when their daughter gets married, there will be nothing they can do if they fail to fulfill their promise.
Thinking of this, Fang Lanhan couldn't help but wipe a cold sweat on himself.
It seems that it is more reliable to let the daughter stay in the palace of the minister and get some money by herself.
Thinking of this, Fang Lazy just said to the young man, "There's no need to send me to the hospital. I don't have the money, but it would be great if you could send me to Zhou Shilang's house. I have a daughter in Zhou." I will be a maid in the Shilang's Mansion. I signed a living contract for more than ten years. Now that the contract has expired and the master wants to renew it, I don't want to bother anymore, so I will let my maid stay in the Shilang's Mansion."
Hearing Fang Lanhan's words, the middle-aged man just now couldn't help but joke, "Aren't you Liu Youcai's father-in-law? Aren't you from the same family? Why don't you marry your daughter to him."
Fang Lanhan waved his hands in embarrassment and said, "I offended you all just now with my words. Please forgive me for my words and deeds."
I have to admit that this lazy guy also has an advantage, that is, he can apologize immediately when he realizes his mistakes.
Although everyone still didn't like the old man, they admitted their mistake after realizing their mistake. If they continued to pester him at this time, it would mean that they were being petty.
So the two old men who were offended by him just waved their hands and said, "It's okay, you are a foreigner and you just don't understand him."
The middle-aged man asked curiously, "How much do you plan to give Liu Youcai as a bride price when he marries your daughter?"
Hearing the middle-aged man's words, Fang Lazyman immediately waved his hand, "Stop talking, there is no betrothal gift. They only promised to let me live with my family in their home, eat white rice and meat every day, and wear clothes every day." Silk silk."
Upon hearing Fang Lanhan's words, the middle-aged man immediately laughed and said, "This Liu Youcai has really reached a new level. Isn't this just a waste of money? When your daughter gets married, what else do you think will happen to you?"
Fang Lazyhan could only nodded awkwardly when he heard this.
He obviously didn't want to continue to be the laughing stock of others here, so he couldn't help but turn around and said to the young man, "Young man, I'm going to the Minister's Mansion, can you send me there first?"
Hearing Fang Lanhan's question, the young man was obviously a little embarrassed, "I still have to squat in front of Liu's house to collect debts."
At the same time, the middle-aged man also spoke.
"You hired an ox cart or something and arrived in the capital quickly, didn't you? The guy is supporting you, and with the way you are, I'm afraid they may not be able to carry you to the capital even if they carry you. Yangliu Town is far away from the capital. .”
Upon hearing what the middle-aged man said, Fang Lazy could only say helplessly, "I have no money."
The middle-aged man said, "You have no money. Aren't you going to use your daughter to renew the contract? When you get the renewal money, won't you have money?"
After hearing what the middle-aged man said, Fang Lazy thought for a while and felt that what the other party said made sense, so he nodded silently and said, "What you said makes sense, okay. You guys continue to stay here, I'll leave first." One step."
After saying this, Fang Lazy Man limped forward while holding on to the wall.
Seeing his appearance, the middle-aged man took the initiative and said, "Okay, I don't want to pity you. I'll help you find the bullock cart."
After saying this, the middle-aged man
Fang Lazy Man was helped to the oxcart market
Several bullock carts were parked here, as if they were waiting for visitors. The middle-aged man only asked Fang Lazyhan to stay aside. Then he went to the bullock cart market for Fang Lazyhan and asked over and over again if he had any rides.
After asking several companies in this way, I finally found someone who was going to the capital at a carriage. The owner of the carriage was originally from the capital. Now he has given a ride to five or six guests and is preparing to go to Beijing and go home.
Although the fare of a horse-drawn carriage is always much higher than that of an ox-cart, it is a free ride and the owner of the car is also pulling five or six people, so it is still much cheaper than an ox-cart specially brought to the capital.
At least an ox-carriage ride to the capital costs twenty coppers, but this carriage only charges five coppers per person.
Although this was two coppers more expensive than a trip by bullock cart, which was three coppers, there was no better choice at the moment.
While looking for a good car for Fang Lazy Man, the middle-aged man also explained the situation clearly to Fang Lazy Man.
The original price of this horse-drawn carriage ride was five copper coins, but the carriage usually only stopped at the nearest city to them, and the capital city was very large, so the distance between one city and another city might be very far. Therefore, in this case, if the coachman wanted to take him to Zhou Shilang's house, his price would be three cents more than others, and he would have to pay eight cents before the carriage owner would accept to take him.
Although a car worth eight cents is still very expensive for a lazy man, there is no better way at the moment. He just wants to renew his contract with the other party as soon as possible. In order to avoid a long night and many dreams, and it was still early in the morning, it was not too late to do this.
So after thinking for a while, Fang Lanhan finally agreed to the other party's proposal.
For the sake of the extra three copper coins, the coachman naturally agreed to Fang Lanhan's request.
With the carriage leading the way, the distance between Yangliu Town and the capital was not too far.
After about twenty minutes, they arrived in the capital.
The driver first dropped off the other people in the car at the entrance of the avenue, and then took Fang Lazy Man to the door of Zhou Shilang's house.
While the coachman was waiting at the door, Fang Lazy Man limped to the front door of Fang's house.
After the guards at the door listened to Fang Lanhan's explanation of his purpose, they were not as indifferent as the Liu Youcai family.
They only signaled Fang Lazy to wait outside for a while.
After a while, the guard let Fang Lanhan in.
Zijuan didn't expect this lazy guy to come so quickly.
She smiled slightly and looked at Fang Lanhan and said, "Uncle, did you bring some money this time? How about it? Did your son-in-law give you all the money?"
Hearing Zijuan's question, Fang Lanhan just sighed heavily and said, "Girl, stop talking, that man is just a beast. He was obviously as lavish as he said before, but in the end, when I asked him for this small amount of money, he was... He refused, and not only did he refuse to give me money for my watch, he actually let the dog slaves around him beat me up, which hurt me to death."
Hearing Fang Lanhan begging her like this, Zijuan only smiled slightly. Everything was as she expected.
But considering what happened next, Zijuan didn't listen to the lazy man Fang's continued complaints. She just looked at the lazy man and said, "Old man, since you said so, can I say one thing?"
Faced with Zijuan's suggestion, Fang Lanhan immediately said, "You say it."
Seeing Fang Lazy Man's behavior, Zi Juan also whispered, "What are your plans for your daughter in the future? Are you going to take her back and continue to find a partner for her, or do you have other plans?"
Fang Lazy and his wife just relaxed about such a marriage, and the small betrothal gifts given by others can even be ignored.
So after thinking about it, Fang Lanhan immediately said to Zijuan, "Girl, I have already thought about it. I am too lazy to bother with my daughter's marriage, lest I be deceived by others later, which will be more than worth the gain."
After the words fell, Fang Lanhan just looked at the other party and said, "So I am still willing to renew the contract with you!"
When Zijuan heard that the other party wanted to renew the contract, she had an extra thought.
"Renew the contract? Old man, we don't want to sign a living contract now."
Upon hearing this, the lazy man immediately said, "If you don't sign a living contract, then do you want to sign a death contract?"
Zijuan smiled slightly and said, "You are right. We have all changed the death deeds now. After all, we can only do internal affairs work so that we can trust him. If someone outside steals something, we won't know."
"Of course, old man, you can rest assured that our death deed will give you one more tael than the living deed. The previous living deed was five taels, and then it was talked about ten taels. Now if you are willing to sign the death deed, we can give you Twenty taels, by the way, we can pay you for your round trip expenses and today's medical expenses."
Upon hearing Zijuan's words, the old man was obviously a little confused.
However, Zijuan was not in a hurry, so she just waited silently for the old man to make his decision.
And the old man did not disappoint Zijuan.
After some hesitation, he finally raised his head and looked at Zijuan and said, "Then let's sign the death contract. But can I make one last request?"
Seeing that the contract was about to be successful, Zijuan immediately said, "You tell me."
The old man also said softly, "I have no other wishes. I just want to see my girl one last time, okay? After all, if I sign a death contract, I am no longer qualified to say that I will come to see him."
I didn't expect that this old man would have such thoughts, but this may also mean that this old man still has some crocodile tears.
But crocodile tears are crocodile tears, and he was the one who sold his daughter.
So Zijuan immediately said, "I think it's better for you not to see her."
Hearing Zijuan say this, the old man immediately asked in confusion, "Why?"
When Zijuan heard this, she just said softly, "Because I don't think she necessarily wants to see you. What's more, you and your daughter have not seen each other for so many years. I guess you have nothing to say. Instead of meeting each other, complaining and hating each other, it would be better to never meet." "
Of course, the most important reason for this is that there is no Fang Yue'er in the Zhou Mansion now, so they can't agree to Fang Lazyhan's request.
