With a smile on his brows, Du Wanchun put away the divorce letter and said with a smile: "Okay, then please remember what I said today, Aunt Tao."
After she finished speaking, she turned around and left with the people accompanying her.
After Du Wanchun left, Aunt Tao immediately opened the big box and saw that there was not much silver in it, but it was not much, about one hundred taels of silver.
This is rare in the village.
Aunt Tao was very happy. She took the silver inside and said with a smile, "Great, we have money again."
After she finished speaking, she raised her eyes to Tao Laosan and said, "Don't touch this money. You have to listen to your mother how you want to use the money in the future."
Tao Laosan really didn't dare to do it this time. He touched the back of his head and said, "Yes, mother."
Aunt Tao moved the silver in with a smile, then found a big lock to lock the red box, and finally hid the red box under the bed.
Tao Meiyu was sitting in the room still crying. ?.?????.ℂ??
The second son of the Tao family shook his head helplessly and walked towards his room with his hands behind his back.
The next day, the He family came to urge people to send their concubine to the house as soon as possible.
Aunt Tao got up early and wanted to return the fifty taels of silver to the He family. However, when she was about to open the box to take the silver, she found that all the silver inside was empty.
"Where is my money? Where has my money gone?"
Aunt Tao shouted like crazy.
Tao Meiyu, the second and third eldest children of the Tao family, and Uncle Tao came in and asked her, "What money?"
Aunt Tao pointed under the bed and said, "Why are the betrothal gifts given to us by the Zhou family missing?!"
Everyone looked at the empty box together, with doubts on their faces.
Aunt Tao cast her gaze on Tao Lao San, "Lao San, did you take this money away again?"
Tao Laosan shook his head and said, "Mom, I really didn't take any money from you this time."
Aunt Tao pointed at him angrily and said, "If you didn't take it, who would have taken it?"
Tao Laosan's face was suddenly full of anger, and he said fiercely to his mother: "Mom, how could you accuse me so randomly? I really didn't get this money!"
Aunt Tao's face gradually turned pale.
Uncle Tao looked at the broken lock and said, "My dear, was there a thief at home last night?"
Aunt Tao stared blankly at the broken lock, "I just received the betrothal gift yesterday, so the thief came to my door at night?"
Uncle Tao sighed and said, "It's not because of your loud voice that you attracted thieves."
Yesterday when she was collecting the bride price, her voice was too loud, which made the passing thieves jealous, and they stole all her money in the first night.
Aunt Tao fell to the ground and burst into tears, "This is a full one hundred taels of silver, that cruel thief, why didn't you leave me a piece of silver? Where can I get the silver to return to the He family?" "
Uncle Tao was so angry that he covered his chest and cursed at her: "It's all because of you. If you hadn't provoked the He family, how could we be like this!"
Aunt Tao was scolded by him, and she was still a little unconvinced. She said sternly: "Blame me? Why don't you say it's your eldest daughter's fault? If she hadn't made such a fuss, wouldn't she have gone to He's house obediently? Meiyu can still marry into the Zhou family!"
Uncle Tao couldn't bear it and slapped her, "Meiyu is your daughter, Yao Fang is also your daughter, look what you did? You deserve it if you sell your daughter to be a concubine!"
After he finished speaking, he waved his hand and ignored it.
Aunt Tao sat on the ground and cried.
In order not to be scolded, Tao Laosan immediately left here secretly.
Tao Meiyu went straight into the house and closed the door, no longer caring about her parents' affairs.
Only the second oldest child in the Tao family slowly walked up to Aunt Tao and said, "Mom, you were wrong from the beginning. If you take good care of my eldest sister and help her plan her marriage, the Zhou family will still treat us as in-laws in the future." , you only know that the eldest son of the Zhou family is the county magistrate, but you don’t know that he will go to Beijing to become an official in the future."
"With such in-laws here, are you still afraid that your little sister won't be able to find a good in-law? It's a pity that you only have little sister in your heart. It's you who hurt yourself."
The second son of the Tao family spoke, sighed and turned around to leave.
Aunt Tao sat on the ground crying alone. After crying, she continued to scold the thief.
After he finished crying, the He family sent someone to urge him again.
Aunt Tao had no choice but to raise money at home. Unfortunately, ordinary farmers dug out all the money at home and only had twenty taels, leaving thirty taels.
Uncle Tao borrowed money from everywhere.
