Zhao Chunhua herself didn't expect that she was just showing off in front of Chu Yue, but turned around and let her bump into Chu Youqian, and also told her about the money she had sold.
When Chu Youqian returned home and put down the ten kilograms of brown rice in his hand, he began to ask Zhao Chunhua where he hid the money.
Zhao Chunhua was shocked and quibbled, "Master, you don't know about our family's situation. Because we don't have money to hold a banquet, Dashan's wedding has been postponed. If I were rich, I wouldn't be able to marry our son." ?”
Chu Youqian won money in the town this morning, and he was in high spirits. When he saw that Zhao Chunhua not only refused to give him the money, but also concealed the "eighty taels" of silver from himself, he slapped him away.
"You bitch! Erya has already told me that you sold Xiaotao to someone for a secret marriage and got eight taels of silver. Now you still don't admit that even if Xiaotao is a daughter, she is my son. I don't care about it. You killed her, but you hid it from me first. You don’t know how high the sky is! I am also the head of the family after all. I asked you to hide it from me, and I asked you to hide it!"
As he spoke, he punched and kicked Zhao Chunhua until Zhao Chunhua cried and begged for mercy, and then stopped when she agreed to give him money.
Zhao Chunhua took out two taels of silver from the house and handed it to Chu Youqian.
"I only sold it for such a small amount. I really don't have eight taels of silver. If I had eight taels of silver, I would have given it to the Chen family as a betrothal gift to marry my daughter-in-law back. It's not like you don't know how much Erya values Xiaotao. , she may be holding something bad in her heart."
Chu Youqian knew that Zhao Chunhua had been worried about the money for his son's betrothal gift recently, so he already had two taels of silver in his hand, so he did not force her to take out the other money.
"I'm going to the town again to buy some rice. If you can't come up with another six taels of silver later, I'll beat you to death!"
After he left, Zhao Chunhua collapsed on the ground and cried for her father and mother.
"Why are you buying rice? I just want to go to the gambling house to spend money. Damn it, Chu Youqian, dared to hit me. That little bitch deserves to die too. He only sold it for five taels of silver. You told him to sell it for eight taels. This Didn’t you deliberately want to kill me? You heartless little bitch, I’ve raised you for so many years in vain!”
…
Not long after Chu Yue ran out of the village, she saw a carriage coming in front. Sitting outside the carriage was not only the driver but also Lu Xinghe who was guiding the way.
When he saw Chu Yue and Wu Yong, Lu Xinghe hurriedly asked the driver to stop the carriage. He jumped off the carriage and stepped forward to hold Chu Yue's hand.
"Why are you here? Isn't Xiaotao at home?"
Chu Yue nodded hurriedly, and when she saw Lu Xinghe, her tears fell down like broken beads, "Ms. sir, my mother sold the peach to someone for a secret marriage. She said that the person who bought the peach came in a carriage. Yes, have you seen it on the road?"
Lu Xinghe reached out and wiped the tears from Chu Yue's face.
"Don't worry, we will definitely find her."
Then he thanked Wu Yong, carried Chu Yue into the carriage, and jumped to sit where he was just now.
"Master, please turn around and chase the carriage we encountered just now with a white cloth hanging on the front."
"Hey, okay." The coachman responded, and immediately turned the carriage around and drove forward, "I heard that these days, people marry in the dark, and whether they are dead or not, they will eventually be buried with the dead. , It’s equivalent to burying people alive, which is terrible.”
Lu Xinghe turned back and looked in the direction of the carriage, worry flashing across his face.
It would be fine if Xiao Tao was brought back. If not, would this girl Chu Yue be sad for a while?
"Master, please hurry up."
The driver nodded, "Okay, sit tight."
After saying that, he whipped the whip in his hand and the carriage ran faster.
Wu Yong looked at the carriage going away and breathed a sigh of relief.
Lu Xinghe had the foresight. Without the carriage, Xiao Tao would definitely not be able to catch up. "I hope everything goes well for you."
After saying that, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and turned around to go home.
…
Chu Yue was carried into the carriage by Lu Xinghe. After entering the carriage, she found that there was another person sitting inside. It was Xu Heng who helped deal with Jiang Gaoyi last time.
Xu Heng saw Chu Yue and greeted her hurriedly.
"Miss Chu, we meet again."
Chu Yue nodded slightly, with a heavy worry on her face because she missed Chu Xiaotao in her heart, "Thank you Mr. Xu for helping me with my little sister's matter."
Xu Heng waved his hand, "Although Brother Lu and I have known each other for a short time, we can be considered friends with similar interests. This little busyness is nothing."
Chu Yue nodded, lifted the car curtain and looked at Lu Xinghe.
"Mr. Sir, how long has it been since the carriage you encountered before?"
"It only takes a moment." He pointed to the curve in front that was covered by the hills, "I guess you can see it if you ignore that place."
"Will they give Xiaotao to us?" Chu Yue was a little worried.
Lu Xinghe thought for a while, nodded and said, "Yes, but it may cost some money."
Chu Yue squeezed her money bag and took a deep breath. As long as she could exchange Xiao Tao back, she could still make money in the future.
"drive!"
After bypassing the mountain in front, the dark blue carriage appeared in front of them. The white flag hanging on the front of the carriage kept swaying as the carriage ran.
Chu Yue stared closely at the carriage in front of her, her joints pulling on the edge of the carriage turned a little white.
Fortunately, the carriage in front was not traveling very fast. Perhaps he noticed that the carriage behind him was coming in a hurry. Thinking that they were in a hurry, he made way to the side road and slowed down a little.
Seeing this, the coachman hurriedly drove the carriage to pass the carriage in front, and then parked the carriage sideways on the road, blocking the way of the carriage.
After Lu Xinghe jumped off the carriage, he hugged Chu Yue and pulled her towards the navy blue carriage.
Xu Heng also got off the carriage with them and followed the two of them.
There were two men sitting in front of the navy blue carriage, one was the coachman, and the other looked like a butler of a large family. When they saw the visitor, their faces were full of confusion.
"Why are you guys blocking my carriage?" He glanced at the white flag hanging on his carriage, "There are my young master's secret relatives on our carriage. I advise you not to rush into each other."
Chu Yue, who was beside Lu Xinghe, pointed in the direction of the carriage, "Is there a five-year-old girl there, named Chu Xiaotao?"
The man was a little surprised, "How did you know?"
"She's my sister."
The man understood, with a humble and polite face, but a tough attitude, "Girl, I don't care who you are. Since we paid the money, she can only be my young master's bride. I advise you not to cause trouble. We The Shen family is not something you can mess with."
The master and his wife said that even if they were to be married to someone who was about to die, they could only find someone who was about to die. Although the girl in the carriage was a little younger, she found her after finally asking around. They wanted to find a suitable one. , it’s not that easy.
