Twenty-one: Coercing favors

Ruan Xiaojiu didn't dare to answer, and looked at Su Yao with horror and hesitation: "Girl, you agreed to my sister's matter, which is already a great grace. How can I still ask for your money?"

Su Yao resolutely let him hold it.

Ruan Xiaojiu had a complicated expression, and finally made up his mind as if he took the banknote from Yan Cao, knelt down and kowtowed three times to Su Yao: "Girl, you are my reborn parents. From now on, the little one will

Life is yours!"

Seeing that Su Yao just smiled, he pursed his lips, but didn't say anything else. He just backed out and went straight out of the house to his home in the alley outside.

Because there was no money in the family, my father could not work as an errand in the government, so he had to find another way out, tending fruit trees for others in the orchard, often coming back only once every few months. My mother washed the capable girls and women at the washing place in the outer courtyard.

Clothes cost 300 yuan a month. After returning, they would help neighbors or the wives who work as errands in the government to wash clothes to earn some money. But even so, it was still not easy for their family to live.

The family just recently had two fire pits, which cost my father half a year's wages. My parents need to take some of the remaining money to my grandparents and prepare to paint my brother's house. They are basically gone. I have been working on it recently.

Worrying about my sister’s dowry.

As soon as he entered the house, he saw his sister sitting on a small bench washing clothes, her face was red, and she looked like she had cried again.

He sighed, and then heard the loud voice of Mrs. Yang who was in charge of the line in the room: "Oh, Sister-in-law Ruan, in your family's situation, if you can get such a good marriage, it's because your ancestral graves are smoking! You

You have to thank me, otherwise, what will happen to your good-looking daughter? At most, she will be paired with a poor boy like your boy, and the couple will live a life of darkness!"

Mrs. Yang's harsh voice continued to float out: "Besides, if you marry this daughter, you will always fall behind. It will just be a wife for your two sons. Otherwise, depending on your family, do you want to marry a wife? Maybe in the next life.

!”

My sister's head bowed even more.

Ruan Xiaojiu gritted his teeth, walked in a few steps, closed the courtyard door, and strode into the main room. At a glance, he saw Mrs. Yang who was talking eloquently and her mother who was sitting next to her with a depressed look on her face but a helpless smile.

A surge of blood surged into his heart, and he said loudly: "No need, Mother Yang! We don't want to marry anyone anymore! Don't bother you to worry about it!"

His voice was so loud that Mrs. Yang was taken aback without warning. She blinked her eyes a few times and said, "Xiaojiu, are you confused? No one else can even think of such a good marriage."

, it’s better for you, why don’t you get married?”

Sister-in-law Ruan was also frightened and anxious, but she was dull and honest and didn't know how to react.

Mother Yang smiled sarcastically again: "You can eat random things, but you can't talk nonsense. This matter has been decided by the superiors. If I didn't ask for Pu Zhuangtou's face, I would still return the favor.

You won’t come! You kid, you really don’t know what to do!”

Ruan Xiaojiu's sister Ruan Sanmei ran in and hurriedly grabbed her brother with a pair of red and rough hands: "Stop talking nonsense, there is no place for you to talk here."

Ruan Xiaojiu and everyone were trembling. They couldn't bear it and looked at Yang's mother loudly and shouted: "If what I said is true, you can find out if you go and ask! The fourth girl and the eldest young master personally agreed. The matter between my sister and Pu Zhuangtou

, Let’s give it up! My sister doesn’t need to get married, so I don’t need to trouble my mother to take care of it. You can also ask my mother to go back!”

Everyone was stunned for a moment, looking at Ruan Xiaojiu in surprise.

Yang's mother immediately wanted to laugh at him for being fanciful, but when she thought that he seemed to have really been picked by Su Yao to do things, she became a little dubious - Su Yao is now more effective in talking to the third girl and the third young master in the mansion than the third girl and the third young master.

Could it be that he really agreed easily?

Yes, yes, Pu Zhuangtou.

She couldn't figure it out, but she was worried about Su Yao. Finally, she smiled and said hello to Sister-in-law Ruan, and left in a hurry.

Sister-in-law Ruan and Ruan Sanmei couldn't believe it for a moment, and chased Ruan Xiaojiu to ask if it was true or not.

Ruan Xiaojiu saw that her honest mother and sister were both red-eyed and cautious. She had mixed feelings for a moment, and hurriedly nodded and affirmed loudly: "Of course it is true. The fourth girl said it herself, telling you and dad to find another marriage for your sister.

He also rewarded me with two hundred taels of silver."

When Ruan Xiaojiu said that Su Yao had also rewarded him with two hundred taels of silver, the mother and daughter couldn't believe it at all. Until they saw the two hundred taels of silver notes, they thought they were dreaming.

The family cried and laughed until Ruan Da came back in the evening. He couldn't believe it even more. He couldn't even care about his waist that couldn't straighten up. He stammered and asked about the banknote. He held the banknote in his hand for a while before bursting into tears.

Got up.

A man in his forties had never cried before, no matter how difficult it was, but now he was crying like a child.

After crying, Ruan Da pulled Ruan Xiaojiu to his side and patted his son on the shoulder: "Okay! Okay, your boy is a capable man. Unlike your father, your father has never made so much money in his life. You will

You must follow the fourth girl carefully and listen to the fourth girl's words."

He said, and said seriously: "Your mother and I are going to kowtow to the fourth girl."

On the other side, after Su Yao went back and said a few words to Su Rong, someone came from the old lady's side and urged Su Rong to go over. She used the excuse that there was something else in the meeting hall and asked Su Rong to leave first, but she said to He Jian:

He winked.

Not long after, He Jian came back, and Su Yao asked him: "What happened to Pu Zhuangtou?"

Even if there is kindness, Pu Zhuangtou said that Potian is still a servant of the uncle's house. Besides, he has been made the head of the house, why does it seem that it is so important for the house to find him a daughter-in-law?

He Jian sighed and shook his head: "The time when Pu Zhuangtou saved the eldest young master, it was either at someone else's house or in the courtyard of the Zhang family's house, the eldest young master's fiancée at the time. The eldest young master happened to bump into Miss Zhang's family walking with her.

The cousins ​​expressed their sincere feelings to each other and threatened to break off the engagement."

Su Yao understood.

Pu Zhuangtou must have encountered this incident at that time.

In any case, being cuckolded is not a good reputation for anyone, especially Su Rong who had broken his leg at that time.

Pu Zhuangtou encountered that incident, and he must have seen Su Rong having a dispute with the Zhang family's young lady, and he saved Su Rong. Naturally, the Su family could not treat him badly.

Sure enough, He Jian said again: "After that incident, the family made Pu Zhuangtou the head of the village. Not long ago, Pu Zhuangtou asked the family for his son's marriage, and also brought up the original incident.

Talk about things."
