As for the quality of the man's character and his family, it is not a matter for Mrs. Qi to consider. As long as she has money, anything will be fine.
Otherwise, why would she spend food and energy to raise them so big? Isn't she just waiting for the day when she can get her money back?
Qi Xiu is so good-looking that she has just reached her age, but the matchmaker there almost collapsed the threshold of her home.
So she chose a pig butcher whose mother-in-law had just died. She had left two children behind, but she couldn't bear it. The pig butcher was rich and gave him the most betrothal gifts, even if he was a good person. I was moved without hesitation.
It's a full ten taels of silver. A normal wedding gift for a girl is only one or two taels of silver. Richer families may also give them two or three taels of silver, but it won't exceed five taels at most.
Ten taels of silver is quite a lot, enough for the eldest son to use as a prostitute.
His own daughter has been raised so well and is growing up so well. How could the old lady Qi be willing to sell it for a good price?
She can easily come up with ten taels of silver. This is obviously because she has taken a fancy to her daughter. In addition, she is a widower whose mother-in-law has died. This price is definitely not good for a young girl in her family.
So Mrs. Qi doubled her price, thinking that even bargaining would be better than ten liang, and the more she got, the more she would earn.
It was a good idea. After bargaining, Zhu Zhurong agreed to pay fifteen taels of silver as a bride price. I thought I would just wait and get the money, but unexpectedly something went wrong with my daughter.
The eldest daughter is indeed more aggressive than her two younger sisters, but she is usually well-behaved and obedient to them, but she didn't expect that she would not give in even one step when it comes to marriage matters.
The widower, who knew that the other party was his dead mother-in-law, looked at them and the matchmaker with such a smile.
Then without saying a word, he went straight into the kitchen, picked up a kitchen knife, and slashed at the matchmaker without saying anything.
If the matchmaker hadn't been able to dodge quickly, the knife would have hit her body. Mrs. Qi clearly remembered that the matchmaker was so frightened that she peed.
I thought that would be the end of it, but no.
The eldest daughter acted like she was crazy, with a smile on her face, but she held the knife in her hand to catch and chop anyone, as if she was crazy, shouting that she would not let anyone who didn't let her have an easy time, and she would let her get married. Either they stepped on her body or she stepped on the bodies of her family members. Anyway, no one would be able to live well.
The eldest daughter has been extremely energetic and energetic since she was a child, and none of the three sons could do anything when they came forward, and the youngest son's arm was even slashed with a knife.
They were completely frightened at once, and the matchmaker almost died of fright. She was so frightened that she dared to get involved in this marriage that she ran away without looking back.
As for the bride price, Zhurong Rong knew that Qi Xiu disowned all his relatives and even killed his family. How could he dare to marry such a fierce woman? He immediately changed his mind and the fifteen taels of bride price was wasted.
The bad thing is that this matter has caused too much trouble and I have to go out. After this, no one dares to come over to propose marriage.
Then in the following days, the kitchen knife was stuck to the eldest daughter's body every day, and she looked at them with a sinister smile all day long. She almost scared the family to death. She had an uneasy sleep at night, and the door was closed. It's worth it to death.
Just when they were worried and thought that their daughter would never get married, the head of Huajia Village asked a matchmaker to propose marriage.
What I didn't expect was that the eldest daughter actually agreed this time. But when she talked about the bride price, she was sharpening the knife in the yard. The sound of sharpening the knife was like urging her to die. She didn't dare to ask for more, five taels. She got married with Yinzi.
Although the betrothal gift was less, she finally got married and the betrothal gift was not too small. The important thing was that the knife hanging above her head was finally gone.
No one in their family knew how they lived during those days.
So much so that during the first two years of their eldest daughter's marriage, they did not dare to make any excessive demands.
As time went by, I saw my daughter come and go around, and sometimes she would bring food, supplies, and even money. I gradually forgot about my daughter’s crazy appearance. Even though my daughter’s attitude towards them was a little distant, she didn’t hinder them. She wanted to be very cheap, but she didn't dare to treat the eldest daughter like she did to the other two daughters.
Unexpectedly, she saw the smile from more than ten years ago again today. Mrs. Qi felt very panicked. She just wanted to calm down the anger in her eldest daughter's heart, but she was afraid that a knife would appear in her hand.
"Show! What mom said is true, don't think too much about it." Mrs. Qi's attitude was very low, even to please.
"Haha... Mom, how can I think too much? I won't think too much..." The smile on the corner of Qi's mouth grew bigger and bigger, and she looked at her mother-in-law's family with a sinister look, which made all her family members turn and retreat in fright. A few steps.
The smile was so eerie that even the three sisters-in-law, who were unaware of the situation, could not help but feel palpitated and did not dare to look at the eldest sister-in-law.
"Mother..." Mrs. Qi faced Old Mrs. Qi again.
"Ah... I'm... here..." Mrs. Qi said in a trembling voice, suppressing the trembling in her heart.
"I've been good to you and my family over the years. I've brought a lot of food and supplies home, and I've taken a lot of money during festivals and birthdays."
"That's right, Xiu is very filial. Who wouldn't praise you in these ten miles and eight villages?" Mrs. Qi nodded repeatedly and followed her daughter's words.
"Then I'm such a kind and filial person, why can't I cover your hearts? Mom... I'm so disappointed."
The last sentence was obviously very low-pitched, but it gave Mrs. Qi and the rest of the Qi family a sense that a ferocious beast was about to awaken, making them tremble with fear.
"No, no, our hearts are warm. We all know that you are a filial child. Children talk nonsense, so don't think nonsense." Mrs. Qi took her grandson and silently took a step back, frightened. Said timidly.
"Mom...I still can't figure out one thing."
"What...what?" Mrs. Qi became more and more panicked.
"Mom is also a woman, why do you still look down on women so much?"
"No, no, I don't look down on women. How could I look down on women? My dear, don't think too much about it." Mrs. Qi quickly shook her head.
"Hahahahaha..." The smile on Mrs. Qi's face grew bigger and bigger, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes. She looked at Old Lady Hua intently with a knife-like gaze.
"...No, it's true. Mom doesn't regard her daughter as a human being at all. She is just an animal that can be exchanged for money and can bring benefits to the family."
"Children really think too much. Whose daughter didn't grow up like this? You are also the flesh that fell from my body. How could it not hurt? I am just being stricter with you and letting you learn more. I just think about it. If you get married in the future, you won't be disliked by your husband's family. Mom really doesn't have that idea..." Mrs. Qi didn't believe what she said, and she didn't dare to look into her daughter's eyes.
Others were also very uneasy and worried.
"Really? So my mother has really good intentions." Ms. Qi looked at Old Mrs. Qi with a smile.
Mrs. Qi smiled coquettishly.
"Mom... I'm different from you. You don't treat your daughter as a human being, but your daughter is a treasure in my eyes. You can abuse me, but you can't abuse my daughter. Mom, I don't think you don't know my bottom line. …”
"ah……"
Mrs. Qi completely exploded, and the smile on her face disappeared. She looked at the Qi family with cold eyes and stomped a wooden table next to her. The wooden table immediately fell into pieces, scaring the other people in the courtyard into silence.
