After Mrs. Xiao got up, she was still waiting for Mrs. Li and Xie Yushu to come and give her money. As a result, when they were waiting for dinner, not only did Xie Yushu not come, but even Xiao Dayong's family disappeared. The angry Mrs. Xiao didn't even eat. Then he killed Xiao Yi's house.
Xie Yushu had eaten early and went up the mountain. Qu Xiaodie took Xiao Haitang and Xiao Jinyu to practice martial arts in the yard for a while. After a while, he saw Mrs. Xiao and Xiao Yan coming to the door cursing.
"Xiao Yi, I didn't let Mrs. Li tell you yesterday that Yanzi wanted to see each other, but now I'm going to town to buy clothes and jewelry?
The two of you were asked to take money one by one, but nothing happened? Is the person dead?
Where is the silver?
And where did Mrs. Li die? Are you here? "
Xiao Yi was exercising on crutches. When he heard Mrs. Xiao's roar, he frowned and said indifferently.
"I haven't seen my sister-in-law!"
"Where's the money? Come out with a tael of silver and buy jewelry for your sister!"
"No!"
"Where's Mrs. Xie? Isn't she capable? She sells medicinal materials and saves people. She buys a car, a donkey, food, clothing, and she has no money? I think you are unfilial! If you have money, you can spend it on yourself. When you marry a wife, you forget about your mother! Don't be afraid The sky is thundering!"
"All the money is gone!"
"You! You're such a traitor, I won't beat you to death! You're a heartless one!"
Mrs. Xiao angrily rushed to Xiao Yi, raised her hand and slapped Xiao Yi's ears!
Xiao Yi still looked at her indifferently, neither hiding nor giving her money.
Xiao Yan said dissatisfied
"I am your sister after all, but you don't even want to buy me a piece of jewelry? Do you have any human feelings left?"
"Your sister-in-law gave you everything she deserved!"
After Xiao Yi finished speaking, she didn't even look at Xiao Yan and turned around to practice walking.
Mrs. Xiao was unwilling to give in and went back to the house to find it herself. Unexpectedly, Xie Yushu's house was locked!
Mrs. Xiao pushed and smashed, but still didn't get in. She entered Xiao Yi's house again, but still found nothing. She wanted to go to Qu Xiaodie's house. Qu Xiaodie held her hands and leaned against the doorway.
"Auntie Xiao, it's against the law to break into someone else's room without permission. Be careful, I'll report it to the police!"
Mrs. Xiao saw Qu Xiaodie's attitude that if you dare to break in, I'll make you look good, but she didn't dare to break in.
As for Xiao Haitang's room, there was nothing except clothes and bedding!
Mrs. Xiao found nothing and couldn't find anyone. Xiao Yi looked helpless again. Thinking that Xiao Yuanhang would come back tomorrow to confirm the news, she had no choice but to curse and hire Qu Xiaodie and leave.
Qu Xiaodie was in a bad mood after listening to the scolding all morning, so she specifically accepted Mrs. Xiao's fifteen copper coins before leaving the car. The reason was that the car was half as big as hers, and a trip cost thirty copper coins, even if Xie Yushu's No, she, Qu Xiaodie, still has fifteen copper coins!
So not only did Mrs. Xiao not get the money, but she also paid fifteen coppers to take the car, and took Xiao Yan to the town with her heart aching as much as when she was cutting meat!
She originally planned to buy Xiao Yan better clothes and a silver hairpin, but neither Li nor Xie Yushu showed up and the money didn't arrive, so she just bought a pair of small silver lilacs for five hundred coppers. I bought another pair of silk flowers for more than thirty coppers and came back.
Old Man Xiao and Mrs. Xiao's old money was found at Xiao Yi's last year. So far, they only have two or three taels of silver left. Counting the one tael that Old Man Xiao went to Xie Yushu's, it's only more than three taels. , how could she give it all to Xiao Yan, so Mrs. Xiao's partiality and generosity towards Xiao Yuanhang and Xiao Yan were all achieved by stepping on the blood of Xiao Dayong and Xiao Yi's family!
When it's their turn to cut their own flesh, it's not that enjoyable!
When Xiao Yuanhang came back and heard that Xiao Yan had agreed, he immediately went to inform the Cao family happily. The Cao family wanted to see each other while Cao Chengan and the others were at home for the holidays, so they set a date for three days later, just in time to see their county. School starts.
Mrs. Xiao gave Xiao Dayong and the others another big task: to go to the mountains to hunt some pheasants and rabbits to entertain the guests.
Xiao Dayong built the chicken coop in the morning and evening and then disappeared for the whole day, under the guise of going to the mountains to catch pheasants to collect herbs. In these few days, they had saved more than 300 copper coins. Now, together with the previous Copper plates were strung together and tied around the waists of Mr. and Mrs. Li.
As for pheasants and rabbits, they were not easy to catch. He happened to catch two chickens and a rabbit. Xiao Dayong roasted them directly in the mountains for Li and the three children to eat, and only brought back one rabbit!
Anyway, they won’t even get a mouthful of soup when they get home, so if you don’t care about them, you might as well eat when you need to!
The family only boiled water the night before, washed themselves, and prepared to entertain guests.
On the day of the meeting, Xiao Yan disliked Xiao Yi's lameness and shame, so she didn't ask Xiao Yi's family to come over. Xie Yushu was even happier. Originally, she was too lazy to get involved in the affairs of the old house. Xiaodie returned to Xiejiacun!
Xie Baotian and the others had already picked up half of the potatoes. They wanted to finish loading them in the afternoon and then go see if Xie Yushu's car could come over. Unexpectedly, they came in the morning.
The Xie family was united. Even Xie Yumin was in the fields. Together with Xie Yushu and Qu Xiaodie, the family harvested the fields in two days.
Mrs. Lu and Xie Yushu were talking about someone in the village who was a matchmaker for Xie Tianlin, and they were talking about a girl from Liujia Village. She was fifteen, the eldest son of the family. She was said to be diligent and sensible, so she wanted to see her after her busy work.
Xie Yushu had nothing to say. Xie Tianlin was seventeen, and people here generally got married early. If it hadn't been for the drought in the past two years, he might have become a father by now. Now it was normal for Lu to arrange a blind date for him. He just told her that Xie Tianlin was the eldest son and her daughter-in-law. You will also be the eldest sister-in-law in the future, so you must marry a sensible one. If you marry a messy housewife, it will be difficult for the younger ones behind you!
Also, at this time, the whole family lives together, and the brothers and wives below all look up to the eldest sister-in-law, so the eldest sister-in-law also serves as a role model. If the eldest sister-in-law is not good, the others below will inevitably follow her example!
Lu and Xie Tianlin also knew this truth, so they didn’t ask for good looks. They just said they had good character. They also asked Xie Yushu to come and see them when they met. Xie Yushu said that as long as Xie Tianlin and Lu liked them, it would be fine. , it doesn’t matter if she comes or not.
Anyway, they spent time together, and Xie Yushu only went back a few times!
After helping Xie's family take back the land, Xiao Yan also wanted to finish it. Both parties were very satisfied, and even the wedding date was set. It was the twenty-ninth of the winter lunar month, and there were still two and a half months left. It happened to be the county school holiday at that time.
A few days after seeing the bride, the Cao family sent a betrothal gift, one hundred taels of silver, six bolts of cloth, three bolts of fine cotton, and three bolts of satin.
Sixty pounds of cotton, six loads of corn, six jars of wine, six chickens and six ducks.
There is also a pair of silver bracelets and a pair of silver hairpins!
Such a battle makes others envious. This is considered a big deal in the village. Although it is known that Xiao Yan married a man whose wife is dead, she is still young, only in her early twenties, and her family still has money, so most of them People are still very pragmatic and envious!
Some people also said sourly
"You're not going to be a stepmother for me!" Xiao Yan blocked her with a bright silver bracelet!
Only a few people who didn't value money were worried about Xiao Yan, saying that life in Pangaozhi was not going to be easy, so it would be better to find someone with good character and good character!
