Sun was very pleased to see Yang Ruoqing finish her meal.
She took the bowl and chopsticks and said to Yang Ruoqing: "Qing'er, while we were cooking dinner earlier, your mother came over."
"What's my milk for?"
Yang Ruoqing asked.
Instinctively, a sense of vigilance arose in my heart.
Mrs. Sun looked happy and said, "Guess what!"
Yang Ruoqing smiled bitterly: "Should you come to borrow money?"
This time Yang Huamei spent a bowl of tea on the old Yang family's four taels of silver.
Later, Uncle Wu will give Cai Cai to the Bao family, which is also a betrothal gift.
Wang Shuanzi still stayed in the county hospital to recuperate from his injuries.
Lao Yang's family will still have to pay later.
At this juncture, it is very likely that Mr. Tan came here to borrow money!
Hearing Yang Ruoqing's guess, Sun was dumbfounded.
"Your mother caught a rooster for us!" said Sun.
"ah?"
Yang Ruoqing was stunned.
Are you hallucinating?
Tan unexpectedly...
"Your mother said that your father hasn't eaten anything solid since he got sick. Grab a rooster and help your father recuperate!" Mrs. Sun continued.
The woman also had a look of emotion on her face.
"Your father and I don't want it, but we have to keep your breasts. Just drop the chicken and run away."
"Hey, your father and I have been thinking about this all night."
"Qing'er, what do you think of this chicken, should we take it or not?" Sun asked Yang Ruoqing for her opinion.
Yang Ruoqing said without hesitation: "Take it, definitely take it!"
Mrs. Sun said: "Isn't this good? Your grandparents have had such a big incident this time, and they are very tight on money..."
Yang Ruoqing rolled her eyes.
"If Tang Yazi and I hadn't helped them recover the silver and horses, my father would have had to sell his land to pay for it!"
"Compared to losing everything and being heavily in debt, what does this mere rooster mean?"
Yang Ruoqing asked.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Sun struggled all night and finally made up her mind.
"Okay, tomorrow I will kill the rooster and stew it in a pot. Then I will call Tang Yazi over to eat together."
Sun said.
Yang Ruoqing nodded.
"Tang Yazi made great efforts in this matter. Logically speaking, my grandma gave us chickens, so Tang Yazi should be kind to her," she said.
"No matter what, I'll kill the chicken tomorrow anyway, so it won't be in vain for grandma's efforts!"
…
In the front yard, the lights were still on in Lao Yangtou and Tan's house.
They hadn't slept a wink all night, and the old couple didn't feel sleepy at all.
Lao Yang leaned his head on the bed and smoked a cigarette.
Tan was sitting cross-legged on the outside of the bed doing needlework.
"Mother Meier, apart from the food crops and the poultry and livestock in the backyard, how much cash does our family have now?"
Old Yangtou asked.
Mrs. Tan said without raising her head: "There are not many left, and I have lost five taels of silver!"
Lao Yangtou thought about it for a while and calculated it.
"In two days, I have to go to the Bao family to accept the lottery. The three festival gifts are converted into money. It doesn't look good to be able to give out only two taels of silver."
"Before the wedding, I have to buy new clothes for my fifth daughter-in-law and buy clothes and shoes for her family. It will cost at least four to five hundred yuan."
"On the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month, if there is no wife coming in, it will cost two taels of silver to buy a banquet for the whole village!"
"Gifts from relatives and friends should be worth one tael of silver."
"To sum it all up, we need to prepare more than three taels of silver for the fifth marriage."
"Lao Wang's family has already paid more than two taels of silver to go in."
"When Wang Shuanzi returns to the village later, we have to buy some supplements and visit him."
"Calculating this, we won't be able to save even half a penny within the year!"
Hearing Old Yangtou's calculation, Mr. Tan no longer had the heart to do any work.
"I've already given my fifth daughter the money to get married, so there won't be any hair left from Mei'er's dowry!"
She muttered with a dissatisfied look on her face.
"Anyway, that girl from the Bao family is also an old girl. Everything about the betrothal gift and other things should be kept simple!"
"We won't hold a banquet for the whole village, so we can just hold two banquets for relatives and friends!" she said.
Old Yangtou was unhappy.
"When each of the five sons marries a wife, the whole village will have a banquet."
"Why don't you do anything when you get to Lao Wu?"
"It doesn't make sense! When I walk in the village, people will laugh at me!" he said.
Tan twitched the corner of his mouth.
"You've almost lost your lining, but you still care about face?"
"I don't care, out of these five taels of silver, I have to leave three taels for my daughter's dowry!"
"If you don't have enough money later, you can borrow it from the third child."
"They are now doing tofu business with restaurants in town, and they are rich!" said Tan.
Old Yang shook his head.
"It won't work, it won't work. When we separated the family, we didn't give anything to the third bedroom."
"It's only been a few months? Are you going to ask them for money? I can't open my mouth!" he said.
"The situation is stronger than the people. I'm really in a hurry. I have to open my mouth even if I can't!"
"Originally, I planned to leave five taels of silver for my daughter to prepare a dowry."
"It's only three taels now, and I feel so uncomfortable. Don't worry about even one cent!"
Tan said.
Hearing this, Old Yang's face darkened.
"It's okay if you don't mention that evil obstacle, but as soon as you mention her, my anger rises!"
"Isn't it because of her that our family is in this situation?"
"Dowry? Come on, if you bully Wang Shuanzi before entering the house, I'm afraid the marriage will be ruined!" Old Yang said.
Tan said: "If you blow it, I'll pull her down. I'll ask for my adopted daughter from every family. I'll find someone better than Wang Shuanzi later!"
"You're such a stupid bitch!"
Old Yang was angry.
"If something like this happens, it's okay if you don't teach your daughter, but you still have such a protective attitude!"
"She has been ruined by you. No one from ten miles and eighty villages who knows her character dares to take her!"
"If you don't dare to take it, pull it down. I'll stay at home and take care of my daughter!"
Mrs. Tan put the dustpan in her hand heavily to the side, pulled the quilt over her head and went to sleep.
Lao Yang was sitting alone on the bed, smoking a cigarette, sighing one after another.
Hey, when it comes to the last resort, I can only open my mouth to the third room!
…
After a long nap, I just ate a bowl of poached egg noodles.
Yang Ruoqing was now full of energy and energetic, with no sleepiness at all.
After coaxing Mrs. Sun to go back to her house to rest, Yang Ruoqing got off the ground.
She picked a thin charcoal from Luo Fengtang's gift.
He grabbed a few more pieces of tissue paper and crawled back onto the bed.
The straw paper was spread on the quilt, with fruit charcoal in his hand, and he was drawing things one stroke at a time on the straw paper...
…
Naturally dangerous Heifeng Village.
In the lobby, there are mottled walls all around.
Every once in a while on the wall there was a blazing torch.
The light of the torches illuminated the hall as bright as day.
"The big boss, it's not good, it's not good..."
A figure hurried in from outside.
His shout caused a commotion in the lobby.
People standing or sitting in the lobby all looked at the visitor.
"Even if the sky falls, it won't crush us. What's it like?"
A voice like thunder sounded.
The visitor was picked up by the collar and pushed to the ground by a black-faced strong man who looked like an iron tower.
The strong man with a black face took a step forward and stared down at the man on the ground.
The man on the ground trembled with fright and begged for mercy: "The second master, something really big has happened..."
"What's the matter? If you have something to say, say it quickly and say it quickly!"
The strong man with a black face raised his fist as big as a sandbag and was about to beat the hesitant visitor.
