Chapter 67
Aunt Su got up early in the morning, but she felt something was wrong with her waist, so she pulled Old Man Su up and asked him to rub the medicinal wine on her.
"Talking to someone every day will make your back hurt. We farmers are so stooped, we are not as squeamish as you!" Old Man Su complained, but he still obediently applied medicine to Aunt Su.
"Am I squeamish? In and outside the city, every village has to walk around on two legs. Can you give it a try and see if it gets tiring?" Aunt Su responded angrily, "Matchmakers should walk around more and talk to people more.
, only to know which family has unmarried men and women."
"Don't pull strings blindly. If someone else fights for you, I won't be able to save you." Old man Su buried Aunt Su.
"Don't worry, if someone comes to trouble me, I will block the door to protect you. If you die, I will die first." Aunt Su said angrily, "The matchmaker only cares about the match, who cares about the mismatch?"
"I really can't deal with you!" Old man Su put the lid on the medicinal wine and went back to sleep.
Aunt Su changed into some very nice clothes and went out, "Damn it, you three, don't run around. Don't go into the quagmire or ditch. If I come back and find any of you brats being disobedient, I'll take care of you with a bamboo whip."
"I know, I know, are you tired of saying the same thing every day?" Aunt Su's eight-year-old daughter Xiang Min opened the window and became impatient.
"Oh, I'm so brave, I dare to challenge your mother!" Aunt Su picked up a branch and went to hit Xiang Min in a hurry.
Xiang Min slammed down the window, blocking Aunt Su out.
"You little bastard, if you dare to resist, I'll chop you up..."
"Aunt Su, why are you so angry?" Leng Yingchun was going to check in the fields when she heard the angry Aunt Su. She knew that Aunt Su was going to beat the child again, so she kindly shouted.
"Hey, Yingchun, I, I didn't do anything!" Aunt Su threw away the stick and sighed to herself that she almost forgot about her business. She went out happily, grabbed Leng Yingchun's hand and smiled, "
Just wait, I'll find a bamboo cage for you, and your uncle will marry Qingqing soon."
"There's no rush!" Leng Yingchun smiled.
"If it's urgent, the marriage must be urgent. Strike while the iron is hot. After the fate period, it will be difficult if the two of you slack off! You are busy, you are busy, I am going to the city." Aunt Su put down Leng Yingchun and shook her handkerchief.
Zi went to Lucheng to look for a bamboo cage.
"She's the only one who's anxious to make money!" Qin Xiaoxiao saw Aunt Su's intention.
"What do matchmakers do if they don't make money? Let's go, there will be more work in the fields." Leng Yingchun ordered, and Qin Xiaoxiao and Leng Yinghuan followed.
In front of a certain shop in Lucheng, a bamboo cage was moving things.
Aunt Su finally found out and came over. She approached the bamboo cage and bent down to look at him, "Zhulong, do you still care about your daughter Qingqing's marriage?"
"Isn't Lin Cui at home? Just tell her." Zhu Long was so focused on doing things that he couldn't manage the affairs at home.
"You don't say Lin Cui is fine. When you talk about her, I get angry. Yesterday, she poured water on Qing Qing, pushed Qing Qing out of the door and closed the door. It's up to Lin Cui to make the decision. Qing Qing won't get married." Aunt Su said seriously.
He patted Zhu Long on the shoulder and said, "Brother, please be patient. Qingqing is already twenty-nine years old. If she doesn't get married, she will become an old girl. No one wants her anymore. In the future, if Lin Cui gives birth to a son, Qingqing will be a drag on you if she is still at home."
Son’s.”
He stopped when he talked about his son Zhu Long. He worked so hard just to earn some money to go home and give birth to a son with Lin Cui, and then live a small life with one-third of an acre of land.
"I'm right!" Aunt Su leaned close to Zhuzheng's ear, "I have a suitable family, and I want to introduce Qingqing to him, so I need your permission."
"Who?" Zhulong asked back. He knew most of the people in Lishuping.
Aunt Su looked around and found no one, so she leaned into Zhu Long's ear and said, "Leng Yingchun's uncle Leng Zhengsheng!"
Zhulong rarely went back to make money. He didn't know who Leng Shengsheng was and was very confused.
Looking at his expression, Aunt Su realized that he didn't know Leng Yingchun's family. She immediately clicked her tongue twice, "You don't even know their family. I think your life has been in vain."
"Aunt Su, who are they? Why should I know about them?" Zhu Long was confused.
"That's the richest family in Lishuping!" Aunt Su blinked, "I don't know how many girls want to marry Leng Shengsheng. If I hadn't seen Qingqing as good-looking and kind-hearted, I wouldn't have introduced her to them.
Where is he!"
"The richest man?" Zhulong touched his chin with his right hand and blinked, "How much dowry gift is his family willing to pay?"
Aunt Su stretched out five fingers, which was the minimum limit to test the bamboo cage.
"Fifty taels of silver?" Zhu Long could not earn one tael of silver a month, so for him, five taels of silver was already a lot, and he was willing to accept it.
Aunt Su knew there was something going on as soon as she heard this. She flicked her handkerchief and moved closer to the bamboo cage, unable to stop her eyes. "With five taels of silver, how can I still be the richest man? I'm afraid it's a poor and lower-middle peasant. I only paid fifty taels of silver."
Woolen cloth!"
"What?" Zhuzong was so frightened that he fell to the ground, "Fifty taels of silver?"
Even if he earns one tael of silver a month, it will take more than four years to earn 50 taels of silver, and he still has to take the money home. In addition, he also needs to buy things. It would be good to save thirty copper coins a month.
"You are really a frog in the well, you have never seen the world!" Aunt Su rolled her eyes and pulled up the bamboo cage, "I will give you a stick of incense to think about it. If you don't agree, I will find someone else."
Marrying a daughter means you don't have to work for three or four years, and you can have a son with Lin Cui. It would be such a wonderful life.
Zhulong felt that this deal was a good deal, but then he thought about it. Marrying a daughter would mean losing a labor force in the family. He glanced at his pocket again and saw that it was cleaner than his face. He wanted to extort more money and stretched out a finger, feeling guilty.
He said, "I want one hundred taels!"
"Go to hell with your mother's bamboo cage. Her green face is rimmed with gold. Do you want a hundred taels of silver?" Aunt Su waved the handkerchief over and said, "Come on, let's just do this wedding. Wait for the one hundred taels of silver."
You rich family, I won’t accompany you anymore!”
Seeing Aunt Su walking forward waving her handkerchief, Zhulong was afraid that the happiness she had obtained would be ruined, so she quickly ran over and stopped Aunt Su, "Sister, I was joking just now, don't worry about this marriage.
I agreed!"
"It's good if you agree. How about we go back to Yingchun's house and talk about it now?" Aunt Su was so happy. She knew that no one could resist money.
"But I haven't finished my job yet!" Zhulong looked at the people in front of him. This was a job he had fought hard for. Once he gave up, it would be difficult to join again next time.
"I said Zhu Long, just stay poor for the rest of your life!" Aunt Su patted Zhu Long's head. She didn't want to have long nights and dreams, so she encouraged Zhu Long to make a decision, "If I were you, if my daughter could marry a well-to-do family,
, I woke up laughing from my dream. I am keeping my money and farming at home, not to mention how comfortable I am. Do I still need to go to the city to do work? How much money do you earn all day long? "
Zhulong thought about it and felt that Aunt Su was right. He could no longer stand those people in the city. So he walked over and pointed at his employer domineeringly, "I don't want today's wages. I'm quitting."
!”
"Hey, Bamboo Cage, you got lucky and found a job as a permanent employee?" The employer couldn't understand Zhucong.
A few days ago, this old boy was crying and complaining that he couldn't find a permanent worker, so he begged him for a job. He only agreed because the bamboo cage was willing to work and it was cheap. Now that he didn't want to do it anymore, he was a little angry.
"I tell you, my daughter is going to marry the richest man in Lishuping!" Zhulong looked at his employer proudly.
Aunt Su felt that the bamboo cage was too high-profile, so she whispered in his ears that everything should be done with a grain of salt and not to talk too much.
Zhuzheng just covered his mouth and ignored his employer's blue face. He went back to his place to pack his things and followed Aunt Su home.
They returned to the door of Zhulong's house in Lishuping, and Aunt Su was waiting at the door of Zhulong's house.
Zhu Long went to knock on the door, and Lin Cui came to open the door. She was startled when she saw Zhu Long, "You, why are you back?"
She was afraid that Zhu Long would find out about her abusing Zhu Qingqing.
Seeing her expression, Zhu Long thought that Hong Xing was cheating on her, so he immediately went into emergency alert. He quickly pushed Lin Cui away and rushed in. He began to search every room to see if Lin Cui was hiding any men.
"Dad!" Zhu Qingqing was chopping firewood in the kitchen. When she saw the bamboo cage coming back, she grabbed the ashes from the pot and wiped it on her face. The marks on her face where Lin Cui had hit her were even more terrifying.
"Zhu Long, what are you doing?" Lin Cui asked eagerly.
Zhucong rummaged through the cabinets and found nothing strange before he walked out, and Zhu Qingqing appeared in front of him.
"Qingqing, what's wrong with your face?" Zhulong pointed at Zhuqing's dark face and asked.
Zhu Qingqing looked back at Lin Cui, then looked back, lowered her head aggrievedly, and responded in a low voice, "Dad, I, I'm fine, my aunt is very good to me and has never abused me!"
"Is this Lin Cui's fight?" Zhu Rong was the first to think.
"No, it wasn't my aunt who beat me!" Zhu Qingqing argued eagerly, glanced at Lin Cui and lowered her head in grievance like a reprimanded little daughter-in-law.
"Master, I was wronged!" Lin Cui felt that Zhu Qingqing's demeanor indicated that she was a bad person, so she walked over and stretched out her hand, "Little bitch, what are you smearing on your face? It was so clean just now.
, when your father comes back..."
Her hand had been caught by the bamboo cage, and the roar of the bamboo cage could be heard in her ears, "That's enough, Lin Cui, Qingqing lost her mother when she was very young. It's not easy for her to survive until now. I trust you so much,
I left her to you to take care of her, but I didn't expect that you would always bully her."
"I……"
"Dad, please don't blame auntie. You are often away from home, and she will inevitably be upset. It's okay to hit me twice." Zhu Qingqing is quite good at fanning the flames.
However, what she said is also true, the villagers have all seen Lin Cui bullying her, even if Zhu Zong goes out for a walk, someone will complain to him that Lin Cui did not do her duty as a mother."
"Head of the household, I..." In the final analysis, Lin Cui was too lazy to do anything. She always imagined that she was a lady in the city and could have girls at her disposal. She wanted to realize this fantasy through Zhu Qingqing.
"Lin Cui, stop making excuses. This isn't the first time you've bullied Qing Qing!" Aunt Su was like a timely help, giving Lin Cui the reputation of a vicious stepmother.
"Sister Su, you..."
"Zhu Long, don't be stunned. We are going to Yingchun's house, and I'm afraid someone will take the initiative to introduce you." Aunt Su said anxiously.
"I'll take care of you when I come back, Qingqing, don't be afraid, daddy will go see the richest man in the village for you." Zhulong was also anxious, so he followed Aunt Su to Leng Yingchun's house.
"The richest man?" Lin Cui rushed over, "Are you talking about the Leng Yingchun family?"
Everyone in Lishuping fantasizes about having a relationship with Leng Yingchun, so Lin Cui is also very concerned about it.
"Exactly!" Aunt Su nodded and pushed Lin Cui away, "Don't make trouble, lest good things turn into bad things."
"You wait at home!" Zhulong pointed at Lin Cui, "Don't bully Qingqing anymore, otherwise I will never be done with you."
"Dad, you go and come back quickly, or my aunt will do it again..." Zhu Qingqing stopped mid-sentence.
Zhulong glared at Lin Cui, "Be careful, I'll divorce you!"
He followed Aunt Su away in a hurry.
Lin Cuicai realized that she had really underestimated Zhu Qingqing, but as long as Zhu Qingqing could bring her wealth, she would not care about Zhu Qingqing.
However, I still have to be pretentious, "Little bitch, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful. You have been holding back for so long. Your father is back and you have a backer. It's not easy. You finally showed your fox's tail."
