??"Jin boy kindly helped him arrange his marriage, but he didn't appreciate it and let it go, and he said such heartless things."
"It's mysterious and mysterious!" Yang Huazhong said.
"Ah? That's it!" Mrs. Sun stopped talking and sat there with her brows furrowed.
The wonderful Laba Festival, no matter how fragrant and sweet the Laba porridge is, has cast a shadow on everyone's heart because of what happened in the old house.
While cooking the night meal, Mrs. Liu was still humming a tune in the kitchen, stir-frying the black stuff in the pot with a spatula and still couldn't tell what it was.
Ju'er stuffed firewood at the door of the stove and looked up at the small pot from time to time.
"Mom, is the meat ready? Let me have a taste first!" Ju'er swallowed her saliva and begged Mrs. Liu.
Mrs. Liu rolled her eyes at Ju'er, "You're the only one who's greedy, the meat isn't even cooked yet!"
"Why isn't it ripe? I can smell it being burnt." Ju'er said, sniffing her nose hard.
Mrs. Liu said: "Stop being greedy, let's eat together when the meal is served, now shut up!"
Ju'er sat there grinding her teeth.
Mr. Liu's eyes widened, "Stop staring at me like that. Are you feeling itchy?"
Ju'er hurriedly lowered her head, pulling the fire in the stove with the fire stick in her hand, and gently beating it.
At this time, a person flashed in.
"Fourth Aunt, where are you cooking?"
The visitor came to the pot and asked with a smile.
Mrs. Liu raised her head and glanced at the person who came, "What's the matter, young boy Qing? We're going to have dinner now. If you have anything to do, wait until I finish eating and come over to talk to you."
Yang Yongqing winked at Mrs. Liu and said, "Fourth Aunt, I'm here to give you a betrothal gift."
Hearing this, Mrs. Liu's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Have you got the money together?" she asked.
Yang Yongqing twitched the corners of his mouth and smiled.
Mrs. Liu immediately put down the spatula, "Quick, quick, come here, take it out and let me take a look!"
Yang Yongqing said: "Wait a moment,"
He turned around and closed the kitchen door.
Because Ju'er was small and huddled in the mouth of the stove, Yang Yongqing didn't pay attention to Ju'er's existence.
"Fifty taels of silver, I've collected them all, Fourth Aunt, please do some."
Yang Yongqing came back and put the money into Liu's hand.
When Mrs. Liu saw it, the smile on her face suddenly disappeared, "What? This is only five taels of silver. It's not enough. I need six taels, six taels!"
She raised her finger and made a number.
Yang Yongqing smiled apologetically: "Fourth Aunt, I can only get five taels of silver. Can you help me?"
Mrs. Liu originally wanted to refuse, but something suddenly occurred to her. She approached Yang Yongqing and said to the man who had injected chicken blood: "Where did you get these two taels of silver?"
"I did it myself." Yang Yongqing said.
"How did you do it?" Ms. Liu asked again.
Yang Yongqing blushed and looked a little panicked.
Mrs. Liu said: "Tell me honestly to my fourth sister-in-law, did you steal these two taels of silver from your third sister-in-law's house?"
Yang Yongqing was startled, and his head suddenly shook like a rattle.
"No, no, fourth aunt, please don't talk nonsense..."
"Ouch!" Mrs. Liu gave Yang Yongqing an angry look.
"What else can you hide from Fourth Aunt? Fourth Aunt really cares about you and will definitely not tell anyone!" Mrs. Liu said.
Yang Yongqing still shook his head.
Mrs. Liu said: "If you are not honest with me, then I will not give you any red lines in this marriage."
"He'er is Yu Jingui's sister-in-law. Whether or not she gets married is just a matter of He'er's word."
Hearing Liu's somewhat threatening words, Yang Yongqing didn't dare to shake his head and stood there saying 'hmm'.
"Aha, I was deceived. Are you really deceived by me? Hahaha!"
Mrs. Liu smiled, and her whole body became excited.
"You're so brave, kid. You actually dare to steal money? You still get two taels for one steal. It's amazing!" Ms. Liu gave Yang Yongqing a thumbs up.
Yang Yongqing blushed and felt a little uneasy when he remembered that he pushed his mother against the wall with his own hands.
"Fourth Aunt, don't tell anyone. Only you and my mother know about this matter. There is no third person who knows about it." He added.
Mrs. Liu said: "The fourth aunt has the tightest tongue and the most solid mouth. You can definitely rest assured about this."
"As long as your mother doesn't tell you, no one will know," she said.
Yang Yongqing smiled bitterly, "My mother is deaf and mute. She can't speak even if she wants to. Besides, she shouldn't be able to speak either!"
Mrs. Liu said: "Whether your mother says it or not, the thing now is that you are still one or two silver short of marrying Yu Jingui home!"
"Fourth Aunt, didn't you just say that as long as I was honest and didn't hide anything from you, you would help me propose marriage to Jin Guina?" Yang Yongqing said a little anxiously.
Ms. Liu had already put the five taels of silver into her arms, "Okay, okay, seeing as you listen to me so much, I will help you."
"Fourth Aunt, you are so kind to me, even better than my biological parents are to me!" Yang Yongqing's face was full of gratitude, and he was so happy that he wanted to jump up.
"Fourth Aunt, when are you going to help me propose marriage to Jin Guina? Can you go tomorrow?" Yang Yongqing begged again.
Liu said: "Silly boy, tomorrow is the ninth day of the twelfth lunar month, a single day, so it is unlucky."
"Let's do this, I'll go the day after tomorrow, the tenth day of the lunar month, the day after tomorrow, double days, I'll go!" she said again.
Yang Yongqing thought for a moment, and it was only one day later, "Okay, then the day after tomorrow, has it been agreed?"
"Silly boy, why would the fourth aunt deceive you? I promise to go there the next day!" Mrs. Liu said.
"Taking advantage of the fact that tomorrow is the ninth day of the Lunar New Year and it won't rain, I'm going to the town to buy some New Year's goods."
"When the time comes, I'll buy some gifts for you to propose marriage. I promise, I won't embarrass you, let you propose marriage in a glorious manner, and get a wife properly!" she added.
Liu's words really made Yang Yongqing almost jump with excitement.
After thanking Mr. Liu profusely, Yang Yongqing ran out of the kitchen on his feet.
Here, Mrs. Liu took out the five taels of silver from her arms, put it to her mouth, took a bite, and then smiled so hard that her mouth turned to one side.
Early the next morning, Mrs. Liu took the three girls to the town together, leaving Ju'er at home to look after the house and take care of Kang Xiaozi.
Why take the six-year-old San Yatou instead of the nearly ten-year-old Ju'er?
Ju'er can help Mrs. Liu carry things, but San Yatou is definitely not as good as her sister in this regard, but why does Mrs. Liu take San Yatou with her instead of Ju'er?
Hey, Mr. Liu has his own plan.
Whenever she goes to town now, she will take the three girls with her. She will probably go to places where there are many people, or people who are more luxuriously dressed.
And every time, the third girl is dressed up so that others can see her beautiful appearance.
Only Liu himself understood this dirty and selfish thought.
At noon, Mrs. Liu came back with empty hands.
Yang Yongqing came over excitedly and wanted to ask what gifts he had bought. Before he could ask, Ms. Liu drooped her face and burst into tears.
"Young boy, my fourth aunt has no face to see you. Those damn thieves and pickpockets have stolen all my money and not a single hair has been left for me!"
