99. Jiang Xiaomei ran away(2/2)

Jiang Chengcai agreed to borrow it for a month and repay them 132 taels, but now, where will he take out the 132 taels of silver?

If he can't take it out, he will lose more and more money, and he may even be chopped down!

When Jiang Chengcai was anxious, he went home and started crying.

The butcher Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were so angry that they scolded those who cheated money. The butcher Jiang even beat Jiang Chengcai, but after the fight, the matter still had to be solved.

No matter how unfair Jiang Chengcai is, he is their son. They must have saved Jiang Chengcai... Of course, at this time, they cannot be tolerated. Those who make money can't get money from Jiang Chengcai and will definitely come to ask them for money.

Do they... have to sell the land?

They sold the land last time, and now they will sell it... They will turn from a wealthy family in Hexi Village to a poor person!

Both Jiang Butcher and Mrs. Jiang were reluctant to sell land, and at least they had to find ways to sell less land. After thinking about it, they thought about it and finally thought of something.

Isn’t this Jiang Xiaomei talking about someone?

Jiang Xiaomei is already sixteen. Some people say that she has kissed her, but it has not been decided yet... and now if you decide a good family for her... maybe you can get 40 or 50 taels of silver or more?

In this way, you can sell a few acres of land less!

After discussing with the butcher Jiang, they all thought that this matter was feasible, but... those who were from a flat-haired, well-known family background and could still pay for 40 or 50 taels of betrothal, why did they marry Jiang Xiaomei?

Such a bride price can be married even if the scholar’s ​​daughter is!

Moreover, there are so many such families that women Shuang'er want to marry. Some of those women Shuang'er are more caring about, but they can still get all the dowry after receiving the dowry!

Generally, it is good to give twenty taels of dowry for ordinary families. The woman’s family gives more dowry or likes it too much, so she is willing to give more. Forty or fifty taels, most people are unwilling to give them.

If the parents of the girl's family want to get the bride price, it is not just marrying their daughter, but selling them. At that time, Zhao Liu's parents planned to sell her forty taels of silver to a man who could be her father.

Because of this, Jiang Xiaomei couldn't marry a better family, especially... Jiang butcher and his wife were still in a hurry to ask for money.

But sometimes this is just such a coincidence.

There is a family in the county town who had married a wife before and couldn't give birth to children, so they wanted to take another concubine for their son, and they were willing to give fifty taels of silver.

This family is actually not very rich, and it is even worse than the Jiang family before. They said they were taking concubines, and they only had a son and a young man in the family. They wanted to marry another woman to help with work, so they had requirements, requiring that the woman be able to give birth and work.

The reputation of that family is really not very good. I heard that their son's wife had been pregnant before, but later she was beaten by her husband and she was unable to get pregnant afterwards... Such a family is still a concubine, and most people are reluctant to marry their daughter, so they buy it with fifty taels of silver.

The butcher Jiang and Mrs. Jiang were not unaware of those things, but they agreed, but Jiang Xiaomei refused, and they even scolded Jiang Xiaomei.

"That man hits the wife in front of him, but he may not necessarily hit you."

"Although I am a concubine, the older one can't give birth. When you give birth to a child, everything in the family will be yours. Isn't that good?"

"Little sister, what else do you want to marry? You are enjoying your happiness if you can marry into such a family!"

...

The Jiang family said this, but the truth is definitely not... Jiang Xiaomei asked casually and found out more information.

For example, although the family lived in the county town and opened a small shop selling sauces, they were not profitable. The women at home also had to get up early and weave cloth on the ground to sell money.

For example, the son of that family beats his wife very hard, and the one in front is almost beaten to death.

When Jiang Xiaomei got married, she was not only a concubine, but also had to work constantly... Just thinking about it, Jiang Xiaomei was not happy. But after the family came to the door, she saw Jiang Xiaomei at a glance, and she agreed to pay the money and hand it over today - since she was a concubine, there was naturally no need to do a marriage.

Jiang Butcher Jiang and Old Lady Jiang told someone about Jiang Xiaomei, but in the end... today, they could not find Jiang Xiaomei.

Finally, they found the Zhao family.

"Zhao Liu, please hand over Sister Jiang quickly! If you don't hand over someone, I'm not polite!" said Old Mrs. Jiang.

Zhao Liu was a little scared: "I really don't know where Sister Jiang is."

"How come you didn't know that someone saw her coming towards you!" Old Mrs. Jiang looked at Zhao Liu angrily.

"I really don't know, okay, how could I hide your daughter?" Zhao Liushi only felt unfair. She heard that the Jiang family told Jiang Xiaomei about such a marriage. She felt a little pitiful to Jiang Xiaomei and even said a few words to others, but she definitely did not hide Jiang Xiaomei.

If Jiang Zhen is not here, she dare not offend anyone.

"Didn't you say before that we are not good to Jiang Xiaomei? Who are you?" Old Mrs. Jiang had long hated Zhao Liu, and then he slapped Zhao Liu: "You are not a good person. You kidnapped my son and wanted to get my daughter away. You just can't stand me in a good life, right?"

"How did you hit someone from the Jiang family?" Village chief Jiang Ping rushed over and was startled.

"What's wrong with me hitting someone? She wants to hurt me! Why can't I hit her?" Old Mrs. Jiang cried: "My daughter is gone, she is probably kidnapped by her. Village chief, you have to make the decision for me!"

"Why did she get kidnapped by her?" Jiang Ping said, but his words were soon drowned in the various voices of the Jiang family who followed Old Mrs. Jiang.

"Someone saw that Jiang Xiaomei came over. It wasn't her hiding it, but who did it?"

"Zhao Liu, it's okay if you hand over Sister Jiang."

"Or let's search."

...

The life of the Zhao family is getting better and better, and more and more people in the village are jealous. Now Jiang Zhen has been out for more than four months and doesn’t know when he will come back, and he may not even be able to come back. So they want to come to the Jiang family to take advantage of it.

After hearing this, Old Mrs. Jiang had another idea: "Zhao Liu, you pay money! If you hide my daughter and ruin my daughter's marriage, you will pay me money!"

"This... why should I pay for it?" Zhao Liu said with a face covering. Sun Xiaoshan tried hard to protect her, but he was already trembling.

"If you don't pay the money, I won't leave!" Old Mrs. Jiang said again. At first, she didn't want Zhao Liu to lose money, but now she thinks that this is a good idea and her eyes lit up.

"Nothing! From the Jiang family, your daughter is not a child. She ran away by herself, why did she ask Zhao Liu to pay the money?" Jiang Ping said, and at this time, some people from the village came again.

These people are close to the Zhao family or dislike the Jiang family, so they naturally blame Mrs. Jiang at this time.

"Brother from the Jiang family, you don't count on selling your daughter, you're also blackmailing me!"

"You are too much from the Jiang family."

"Why do you say that the Zhao Liu family is Tibetan?"

"I really want money and want it crazy!"

...

The number of these people is more than that brought by Mrs. Jiang. When Mrs. Jiang saw these people, she knew that she would probably not be able to make any money from the Zhao family.

What’s even more unfortunate is that at this time, someone came with a red-eyed little girl Jiang: “My sister is hiding in the forest by the river and crying…”

Jiang Xiaomei was not in the Zhao family at all. The place where she was found was still far away from the Zhao family.

The villagers' eyes of Mrs. Jiang suddenly changed. Even those who came with her were embarrassed. They heard Mrs. Jiang say a lot and decided that Jiang Xiaomei was indeed in the Zhao family. As a result... Jiang Xiaomei was not there at all?

Old Mrs. Jiang was stared at by so many people and couldn't stand her face for a moment. She suddenly cursed at Zhao Liu: "Zhao Liu, don't be proud. Even if your family is having a better life now, in the end, these things will still belong to my son!"

"Who doesn't know that Brother Zhao Jin of your family is a person who cannot give birth. In the future, my son will definitely take a concubine if he wants to pass on his family."

"You just help raise my grandson!"

...

"You're talking nonsense!" Zhao Liu was not angry even though he was beaten before, but he was really angry at this time.

"What am I talking nonsense? What I'm telling the truth! Matchmaker He said, your son cannot give birth!" said Old Mrs. Jiang.

Then, I don’t know who it was, and suddenly shouted: “Jiang Zhen is back!”

Jiang Zhen is back?! Old Mrs. Jiang trembled and wanted to turn around and run away.
