In the little half a year since the first nightmare, Li Qiu carefully inquired and found out that the Widow Wang whom Zhang Dalang hooked up with when he was working in Wangjiazhuang was not an economical lamp.
If Widow Wang really wanted to enter the Zhang family, Chen Yunfang would suffer.
But this has nothing to do with Li Qiu. She just wants to make a fortune from the Zhang family and leave.
After taking care of Chen Yunfang, he leisurely came to the hall to serve tea to Uncle Gu and others at the beginning of autumn.
"Liqiu, please take out the dowry list first." Uncle Gu was the first to bring up the dowry list. "I heard from Chang'an that he would take you to the city to buy things as soon as it gets light. Hurry up and get this dowry list now." Now that everything is done, we can ask Changan to go back and sleep a little longer."
Li Qiu glanced at Gu Changan.
Unexpectedly, Gu Changan was quite good at lying.
He told her that she was in trouble, ran to Uncle Gu and his family, and said that he would take her shopping.
As expected, I can't believe what a man says.
She didn't expose Gu Changan's words and took out the dowry list obediently.
When Uncle Gu saw it, he called Mrs. Liu generous: "I usually don't notice it, but Erga Niang has prepared so many good things for Beginning of Autumn. Chang'an, come and take a look. I'll give you the betrothal gift in a few days. You can't be stingy anymore." , it’s better to prepare a betrothal gift worthy of these dowries.”
Gu Changan scratched his head and smiled: "Don't worry, uncle, I will definitely not let Li Qiu suffer any injustice."
Ever since Li Qiu entered the house, Gu Changan's eyes have never left Li Qiu, making Li Qiu feel strangely uncomfortable.
Li Qiu did not take Gu Changan's words seriously.
She was already grateful that Gu Changan could withstand the pressure and promised to pull her out of the Zhang family's fire pit.
She didn't care whether the marriage was honorable or not, whether the bride price was exquisite or not.
Anyway, she didn't plan to live with Gu Changan for a long time.
After Uncle Gu read the dowry list from beginning to end, he was ready to sign and fingerprint the list.
He was cautious, shook the paper in his hand, and asked Li Qiu: "This list should be made in triplicate. You have one copy. When the time comes, I will marry you to the Gu family. The Zhang family will have one copy and one copy." It’s going to be handed over to the clan, why is there only one copy?”
Zhang You couldn't help but sneer: "This dowry list is fake, naturally there is only one copy."
Uncle Gu raised his eyebrows: "Fake? Zhang Xiucai, this is no joke. Your mother's name and fingerprints are on this list."
"My mother can't read!" Zhang You was furious, with veins popping out on his forehead. He was very ferocious, "Yuan Liqiu coaxed my mother to put her fingerprints on this piece of paper. This dowry list doesn't count at all!"
"Who said we can't count?" Chen Yunfang walked in with a smile, "Lao San, you are not at home today. Mother told us herself that she wanted to give us something for the beginning of autumn. We were afraid that we would forget it and call it the beginning of autumn. Write it down in the same way, sister-in-law, right?"
Yu Cuihua followed her, her face particularly ugly, and she reluctantly agreed.
Chen Yunfang poked her, and then she nodded: "That's indeed what mother said. However, mother also said that the money at home cannot be touched. The dowry for the Beginning of Autumn has to be paid for by the third child yourself."
Chen Yunfang immediately looked back at Yu Cuihua, with a very surprised expression.
Obviously, the idea of asking Zhang You to pay for the dowry out of his own pocket was the idea of Yu Cuihua alone, and Chen Yunfang didn't know either.
However, she was very satisfied with Cuihua's bold idea: "Lao San, mother really said that. If you don't believe it, you can go to the wing with us and ask mother. You can come too in Liqiu."
With Uncle Gu and others here, Li Qiu is no longer afraid of Zhang You and others joining forces to deal with her.
She followed Chen Yunfang into the house and was shocked to find that Mrs. Liu was still naked.
"what happened!"
Zhang You's eyes were almost murderous: "Sister-in-law, didn't I ask you to dress your mother well?"
Yu Cuihua curled her lips and said, "My mother's clothes have been torn by you, how can I wear them?"
Zhang You closed his eyes helplessly, raised his fist and beat the head of the kang hard: "You won't look for it again! Also, isn't there a quilt on the ground? Why don't you cover me with it? You...you are the one who has become Heartfelt!"
"Son..."
I don't know if it was because I was scared tonight or if I had some hidden agenda, but Mrs. Liu is completely unable to move now.
She had snot and tears on her face, looking quite pitiful: "Yu Cuihua, this bitch, she is torturing me on purpose! Go find your eldest brother quickly and tell him to divorce this bitch!" "
"Okay, ask the third child to go to Widow Wang's house and find your son and your man!"
Yu Cuihua roared so loudly that the edges of the window moved.
Li Qiu glanced at Chen Yunfang. It seemed that Chen Yunfang had told Yu Cuihua about Widow Wang.
I don’t know what Chen Yunfang promised Yu Cuihua, but Yu Cuihua was willing to stand on the same line with her again.
The biggest villain tonight is destined to be Yu Cuihua.
"Sister-in-law, what are you yelling about!"
Zhang You was afraid that Uncle Gu and others would hear him, so he kept his voice very low: "What Widow Wang and Widow Li are talking about has nothing to do with what's happening now!"
He glared at Li Qiu and almost squeezed out a sentence through his teeth: "Why are you suddenly helping Yuan Li Qiu? Didn't we agree?"
Yu Cuihua and Chen Yunfang looked at each other. After all, Yu Cuihua was the stupid one. She couldn't help but pretend to be her sister-in-law, and spoke before Chen Yunfang: "Third brother, the things on the list are indeed promised by my mother. It's the beginning of autumn, if you tell lies, you will be struck by lightning from the sky, and I don't want to be struck by lightning."
Zhang You took a deep breath and tried his best to avoid seeing the gray lump of meat on the kang: "Mom, did you really say you wanted to give Li Qiu these things? Didn't you just give Li Qiu a quilt before? Why did you suddenly relent? Why have you given so much dowry to Li Qiu?"
"I, I just said it casually. Who knew this little bitch would take it seriously? Besides, I was the one who paid for the dowry before, and that quilt was quite a lot. I heard everything you said in the kitchen just now, and now it should be Is it you who will pay for it? Sanwazi, mother knows that you have saved a lot of money, so if you pay for this dowry, no one in the family will talk too much."
Zhang You's eyes widened and he couldn't say a word.
Suddenly I heard Li Qiu laugh: "Third brother, doesn't it feel good to be cheated by your own mother? Go out quickly, don't keep Uncle Gu waiting, let's settle this matter early, and mother can put on clothes early, otherwise , when dad comes back, it won’t be clear.”
"Okay, okay, okay."
Zhang You was probably confused. After saying three good words in a row, he slammed the door and went out.
"Liqiu, wait a minute," Yu Cuihua grabbed Liqiu who was about to go out and muttered, "The second younger brother and sister said, can you help me get your eldest brother back from Widow Wang, so that the little widow will never dare to seduce him again?" Your brother, is it true?"
Li Qiu was stunned for a moment, and when he looked back, Chen Yunfang had already hidden away.
Haha, Chen Yunfang is really good at scheming, and he actually tricked her into it.
"Sister-in-law, you did me such a big favor today. I will definitely repay this favor. I can indeed help you get your eldest brother back from Widow Wang. I just don't know. Do you dare to risk it?"
